Arthur frowned, and he had a solemn expression.
This was a difficult matter, and he was not in the position to do anything.
He spoke up after keeping quiet for some time, "That's a large number of you, and even though many of you have died, be it more than hundreds and thousands, it's still a lot. If it's only you guys, we'd be able to inform the upper management and separate you among the nine fortresses. It'd be difficult for the others to notice anything as we'll then say that you people will be joining us, but this won't work with so many of you."
Skye then abruptly pulled Arthur to one side after she weighed it in.
When they were some distance away, Skye said to Arthur, "Young Master Arthur, I think we should kill these thousand people. These people barged in and are occupying our resources. After we kill them, we can then take the resources they obtained from this area. Together with the resources from those we've slain, it'll be a generous amount. Think about it: They must’ve garnered a bountiful amount of items after being here for more than ten days."
Skye’s lips twisted into a smile before she added, "After killing them, we can just leave the forest and return to our fortress-no one will know we've come across these people. We can just act as if we were never here and that we've never met any of these people. We don't need to get involved in this troublesome matter.”
Arthur might have had considered that before he stumbled across the belle Helena.
Her beauty, however, had latched itself onto him from the get-go, and Arthur's facial expression darkened as he spoke," What are you talking about? I'm not that sort of a person, and if I wanted to kill them, I wouldn't have rescued them just now. You want me to kill them after rescuing them? Do I look like I'm so free that I'm looking for things to do?"
Skye instantly countered, "We rescued them because we didn't know who they were and their identity. It makes sense to kill them now that we’ve learned about their identity, right?”
“Haha... Should we just kill them because you said so? We humans, and we can’t just be that flippant. On top of that, we aren't members of the Alliance Guard. What if the fortress masters are displeased that we killed them? We don’t have the power to act as we like yet!" Arthur laughed and was somewhat irked.
Skye crossed her arms at her chest and coldly chided, "You're just reluctant to let go of that woman. You're Young Master Arthur, and your grandfather is the First Elder of the Whittemore Fortress. Putting aside the fact that members of the fortress won't know about us killing them, they won't blame you even if they learned about it. On top of that, a total of several hundred thousand people came in, so why should you be afraid of killing several thousand people? Didn't you kill those people from the so-called Hall of Divine Royal just now?"
Arthur had a guilty conscience when Skye spoke openly about his thoughts. However, he still argued with her, "What do you know? Can't you see that Hendrick is
painfully attentive toward that woman? It's very likely that they won’t agree to it!"
Skye was speechless and could not lower her head in silence.
"Let's go! I still think that we need to inform my grandfather and the others about what has happened. Later on, the higher management can discuss what to do next." Arthur glanced at Skye before he walked toward Helena and the rest.
Helena smiled and said to Arthur when she saw him returning, "Young Master Arthur, there are only a small number of your people here. I can ask some of my people to help gather the trophies for you!"
"Alright, thank you for your help!" Arthur nodded, and it was not long until they finished gathering their trophies.
