Chapter 2113 The Orcs Will Never Submit!
"Miss, Mr. Hades's dishes are simply too delicious."
Mala followed Eiffie and smacked her lips, wishing for more.
Eiffie tapped on her nose with exasperation, and said, "All you know is how to eat, girl. You'll be kidnapped by someone sooner or later."
Mala nodded, and said, "If only Mr. Hades would kidnap me."
"You're hopeless." Eiffie rolled her eyes, and went into the tavern. However, she couldn't help thinking about something: if Mr. Hades wanted to kidnap her, should she accept it readily, or pretend to decline first?
The tavern wasn't seriously damaged. The shattered door was already removed.
Eiffie ordered a custom-made iron door from a blacksmith. At the same time, she reinforced the doorframe and installed rollers.
Even though it would take more effort to open and close the door, it wouldn't be so easy to bust in from the outside again.
After replacing a couple of tables and chairs, and repairing the floor that was crushed by the ax, the tavern's external work was almost done.
However, Eiffie still had to get a blacksmith to redo the damaged cellar's door, and employed a magic caster to install a magic shield again. Mala looked at the cellar's door that was marked with two deep ax's strikes, and joyfully said, "Miss, you're really a clairvoyant. This cellar has saved our lives."
"Yes. It was really close." Eiffie also nodded with lingering fear. If it weren't for this magic shield and specially-made cellar's door, perhaps they could not have held on till Mr. Hades had rushed over.
"Miss, is Mr. Hades very formidable?" Mala asked suddenly.
"No. He's very lucky. A man who can cook usually has good luck." Eiffie shook her head smilingly.
"I see." Mala nodded thoughtfully.
Ain't I right? Mr. Hades should be very formidable, Eiffie thought. Even Mala could see something, so how could she not have felt anything? Mr. Hades appeared at the most critical moment to subdue that scary assailant, and then brought her to find the instigator.
Although the court's people said that the assailants were killed due to an internal conflict, she didn't believe it. Mr. Hades had to have played a very important part in it.
Including the incident of Boris's residence being burgled. She knew very well that there was only one assailant. The other one was played by Mr. Hades.
Of course, all this wasn't important. She would feign ignorance. She only had to remember that it was Mr. Hades and his family who saved her and Mala.
"Then, do we have anything to send over to Mr. Hades tonight?" Mala looked at Eiffie, and gulped with a smile. "Mr. Hades's cooking is simply fantastic."
"Why don't I send you over?" Eiffie rolled her eyes.
"Really?!" Mala looked at Eiffie seriously.
"Go and do your work. What are you thinking with that little head of yours all day?" Eiffie knocked her on the head. Even she didn't dare to think about it.

The Twilight Forest. The Aug Tribe.
Within a black castle, Auster, who had a black hook attached to his right arm, sat on the throne, and looked at the dozens of orc tribal leaders in the hall. With an unhappy expression, he asked, "Where are the people from the Lynx Tribe?"
A subordinate standing by the side went up to Auster, and whispered in his ear, "Chief, the Lynx Tribe and the Mutt Tribe have already joined the Peace Alliance two days ago. They're not sending anyone to our meeting today."
"Hmph! A bunch of softies!" Auster banged on the table angrily.
The great hall was silent. All the tribal leaders had different expressions, and no one made a sound.
The news of the devil showing itself at the snow plain in the extreme north and amassing a scary army of the dead had already been spreading for the past two days, and the tribal leaders had heard of it.
Auster most likely gathered them for a discussion today because of it too.
After the Roth Empire's invasion, the power of the pro-war faction with the Aug Tribe in the lead was greatly diminished. The Falk Tribe took the chance to convince the other tribes, and had successfully converted some of them.
Under such circumstances, there were only 40-50 tribes left in the pro-war alliance, and their power was far inferior to what it had been before.
Auster stood up, and said to all the tribal leaders in the hall, "You all should have heard about the recent incident. The devil and the army of the dead have appeared in the north of the Roth Empire. The Roth Empire is definitely going to be attacked if they move southwards. This is a great opportunity for us to seek revenge!
"The Roth Empire launched a secret attack on us, and killed our people and brethren. We can never forgive and forget about that. Chaos City tries to make us sign the peace treaty, and even wants us to send troops to help defend it against the devil. Why should we?!"
"F*ck that peace treaty!"
"We want revenge!"
The anger in the tribal leaders was lit up, and they also joined in the scolding.
Auster's lips curled up, and he continued, "We orcs will never submit to others, but that little girl in the Falk Tribe wants to lead those weaklings and sign those demeaning terms. Will you agree to it?"
"We won't agree to it!"
"The orcs will never submit!"
All the tribal leaders got up and roared.
"Good!" Auster looked at all of them with satisfaction and nodded. "I knew you all were real men with guts! I didn't ask you all to come here today to submit to the Roth Empire. Instead, I want to discuss how we are going to send our troops to attack the Falk Tribe and kill Connie, the evil girl who killed her father!"
All the tribal leaders went white after hearing that. The power that Connie had in the Twilight Forest was no less than what Auster had.
Furthermore, she had the Hairless Monk protecting her. Auster had been trying to kill her a few times, but to no avail.
"I have already asked her to come and discuss the peace treaty tomorrow. The Hairless Monk will definitely come along with her.
"You guys will lie in ambush outside the hall. I will smash the cup as a signal, and all of us will act together and kill both of them right on the spot!" Auster looked at all of them, and revealed a cunning smile.
"Marvelous plan!"
Although all the tribal leaders despised Auster for using such a despicable plan against a little maiden, they still praised him.
Then, Auster discussed the assassination's details with all leaders. He only let them leave after doing all the preparations and making sure Connie and Rex couldn't escape.
"Great. I want to see how this little b*tch is going to escape this time!" Auster tilted his head back and laughed. He hadn't been this happy for a long time.
When he was in charge of the Twilight Forest again, and after the devil and the army of the dead marched southwards and the allied forces suffered huge losses, it would be the time for him to conquer the world.
That night, Auster went to sleep early after having a good meal.
The black hook that he had custom-made by a dwarven blacksmith was removed and placed next to the bed.
Suddenly, a dainty figure jumped down silently from the roof, and a silver beam pierced through the darkness.
