The Hero in Exile

A group of people sat uneasily on one side of the dining table in the living room. Opposite them was the scary old man Brunson. Moran thought about it and wondered what he wanted to do from his current status.

Whatever he gets from Lunster, he can only pray that his demands are not excessive.

Lingyu also knew that this guy didn't know that he was alive before and was very surprised now, but so far he still felt that there was nothing to be afraid of since it didn't seem like he was looking for him anyway.

The most nervous one must be Lunster. After all, he was surrounded by so many people and couldn't beat them. Moreover, he was accused of asking for help from him. If he were a hundred years younger, he would be able to fight this guy on equal terms.

However, what surprised Lunst and Moran the most was that the lifespan of humans was not as long as that of demons. Among their generals who had reached his age, even the genius was nearly a hundred years old, while this human looked to be no more than fifty years old.

"In order to address these two friends, why not introduce yourself?"

"In the next round."

"I'm Moran." Moran wasn't worried about him recognizing him because he never told anyone his name. If he wasn't someone who cared a lot about politics, his own people wouldn't know his name.

"Then I have already mentioned the good name. I am a straightforward person. Sir Lunster, you should have had frequent contact with the orcs in recent days."

The experienced Lunster did not panic but his brain was working quickly to think of a solution.

"My Lord, are you kidding me? I have only been hunting since I came here and I don't know where the orcs are."

Brunson's face wrinkled a bit. "Your Excellency doesn't seem to be willing to be honest. According to my people's reports, a few demon slaves in our city go missing every day or two before you leave. You don't know where they are, do you?"

Seeing that Lunster didn't say anything, Brunson knew that his guess was probably correct, so he seized the opportunity and continued.

"As the city lord, I have considerable power. If I want, I can issue an order to the entire city to make those people surrender."

"What? Does this guy still have any humanity? They are innocent."

"Brother, don't get so excited. You are not a demon. Although this is indeed very sad, it is the only way for the people in my city."

He was surprised by the sudden anger of Moran, who looked like a human, but his actions were indeed cruel if he took his position into consideration, so fortunately he did not think too much about it.

Lunster picked up the teacup and slowly brought it to his mouth. Moran also noticed that his hands were shaking. His eyes were unfocused and even water was flowing from the corners of his mouth to his collar.

Seeing Lunster's embarrassment, he confirmed that his bet was right and continued: "Of course, if you cooperate well, I will not do such a thing, and after I help you." Lunster lowered his body and said: "I can turn a blind eye. If you still need help, you can come to me."

When the three heard this, they were stunned and looked at Brunson, while Brunson pretended that he had said nothing and looked harmless.

"Don't look at me like that. We didn't want to send troops when the demons invaded the empire. If it weren't for the appearance of the hero, who would be willing to have another enemy? Anyway, few people in our country's church know that I did this and they can't say anything. My request is very simple. Let me meet the orcs."

Lunster gritted his teeth, he was truly being manipulated. As long as he helped, his fellow countrymen in the city might be saved, but the most crucial thing was as for the Orcs, they didn't know whether his words would count.

"How can I trust you?"

"You have no choice, but I can show my sincerity by letting my men go back and I can stay here alone."
