Chapter 164: Traitor

"That is part of being a mercenary!" Ozzic said, laughing. "Shansa Empire had publicly challenged us. This problem is all of ours together. We must band together against this common threat."

"There is no need for that. My Dragon Riders mercenary group isn’t big, but we have been working together for a long time. We all trust and rely on each other. If there are some new people, we may not work as efficiently. Don’t worry, we can handle this," Ozzic said, with a wave of his hand. "Time isn’t on our side. I will head out immediately."

"We will rest after we defeat the Shansa army. By then, even if you want me to leave I won’t," Ozzic said, grinning.

"I understand. I am not stupid enough to do something like that," Ozzic replied. "You have to start your part of the plan soon."

Ozzic did not say anything else. He left town quickly with his men. Christian stared at the departing men, then turned to Anfey and asked, "Don’t you think there’s something strange about them?"

"They must have a motive. What would it be? Do you think they genuinely want to help us?" Christian asked.

"Alright," Riska nodded and said.

Anfey glanced at the werewolf, then turned and told Suzanna, "Three of you, go right now. Be careful."

After the trio left town, Anfey walked over and sat down on a piece of stone and waved the werewolf over. The werewolf walked over timidly.

Most residents had lost the will to fight and chose to work. There were two werewolves who encouraged the residents to fight, and Suzanna had to kill them in the end. This timid werewolf did not fit the usual werewolf image, and made Anfey curious.

"Sante, go check the tunnels and make sure nothing unusual is going on," Anfey said, waving his head. "Christian, stay."

"If you tell you, can you keep my sister and I safe?" the werewolf asked, its eyes sad and desperate.

The werewolf took a deep breath and said, "Katuru has a secret vault in the tunnels."

"He was the old leader."
"I see," Anfey said with a smile. He thought it was a big secret, but it was nothing more than a werewolf’s private collection. Seeing the living conditions of Moramatch’s residents, Anfey did not expect Katuru’s treasure to be shocking. "Christian, go with him and find the

vault."

"My lord, what you promised…"

"But my lord, if they find out that I was the one who spilled the secret, they will kill me."


"Four. He must be talking about the other two. There is one female that must be his sister," Christian said with hushed voice.

"All the werewolves do. The others left to find backups. We were left to guard the vault."

"Because they are terrorizing my sister."

"I’m too weak to take on two of them," the werewolf said, lowering his head.

"Yes, my lord! I couldn’t take it anymore and this was my last resort." Seeing that Anfey understood him, the werewolf appeared very grateful.

"Thank you, my lord!" The werewolf sank to his knees, satisfied with Anfey’s decision.

"I am the only one they could contact."

"No way. Humans would never fight for werewolves," the werewolf said.

"That…that I don't know, my lord."

"Yes, my lord." The werewolf bowed and left quietly.

"Anfey, remember the orcs?"

Christian nodded.

"Maybe waiting for more werewolves to appear," Christian said after a few moments of silence. "From our point of view, the werewolves here live a difficult life. For the werewolves, maybe this is a place where they could observe and learn more about humans."

"I began to have my suspicions a few days ago when I was cleaning out the tunnels with Feller."

"I talked to you about it, but you weren’t paying attention," Christian said. "After you enter the tunnels from the main entrance, there are nineteen major tunnels. Every tunnel has a built-in cave large enough for more than a hundred people. There were ample food and weapons as well. One was more than enough to contain all of Moramatch’s population. Why did they build nineteen tunnels? To prepare for war? To expand their territory? I don’t think either of those are the right answer."

Christian nodded. "Katuru is just a small part of this. I feel like the real leader is somewhere in the sanctuary. Band of Brothers mercenary tried to get the werewolves out of Moramatch a few times, and every time the mercenary group suffered great casualties. I don't think we are more powerful than a major mercenary group. Maybe it was because we attacked at the right time, when the town was relatively empty."

"If we keep the other werewolves, who will know?"

"Orcs, beasts, savages, and elves all believe humans are the worst and most sly of all creatures. They would not believe us."
"That means we can't just kill the other werewolves."
