Chapter 115 - Plots of the Plots (Patreon)

Most of the Ogres were innately powerful, and many of them reached Extraordinary Status the moment they entered adulthood; even the weakest adult Ogre was Sequence 7 Extraordinary Creature.

Valyrian Legions were using the Orgres as some sort of Shock Troopers because there was nothing more effective than the thunderous charge of the Orgres clad in the armor that covered their entire body and turned them into armored war machines that would destroy everything in their path.

The gates were so heavy that it required Ogres to open them quickly without much delay, otherwise it would be required the Ogres to open them. Once the gate to the military encampment of the Valyrian Legion opened, Valkorion led there the troops of the Trifarian Mercenary Company.

In this place, the Trifarian Mercenary Company didn't attract almost any attention because it became rather indistinguishable from the ordinary Legionaries of the Valyrian Freehold's Legions as they led the merchant caravans of the Ferros Chamber of Commerce to the warehouses. 

From there on, Valkorion was led by the Legate Malaelar Berlarys, who was second in command of the Legion to meet General Aenar Belaerys. General Belaerys was rather busy, but he needed to meet with Valkroion because Valkorion was today and also represented the Clan Ferros.

Lately, Camille Ferros has been handling all of the important matters regarding Clan Ferros, and she will be named the Matriarch of the Clan in a few months. So, if he was bearing her token, he was essentially speaking on behalf of his Clan Ferros, which was clear that he wasn't just an average mercenary, as could be seen.

Ordinary mercenaries won't get their hands on the tokens of the clan leaders of something like Clan Ferros. 

Far from it.

"General, the representative of the Clan Ferros and leader of the Trifarian Mercenary Company, Sir Valkorion Nerona, is here to meet you."

Valkorion was rather surprised that he wasn't met with the typical distance of the Valyrian Legionarees for the mercenaries and sellswords, but he attributed it to the fact that all members of the Trifarian Mercenary Company were former Legionaries of the Valyrian Legion.

General Aenar Belaerys was a middle-aged Valyrian with all typical Valyrian features, though he had a silverish-white beard as he was nearing his sixties in his appearance; at the same time, it was pretty hard to tell.

The General was for Beyonder for sure, so such a thing as telling someone's age was always a hassle.

"General."

Valkorion greeted General Belaerys as he was led into his tent by Legate Malaelar Berlarys as the commanding tent, which served as the temporal headquarters of the command center of the Legion's meetings. 

"Sir Nerona. I trust that the military resources from the Ferros Chamber of Commerce were stored in the warehouse. I also want to ask if the Clan Ferros could develop another batch of Healing Potion, Spiritron Potion, and weapons within another two weeks?"

General Aenar Belaerys asked because the situation of the Valyrian Legion in the Cartharys was in dire need of resources.

Because of the Goblinoid Invasion that could happen at every moment, the Legion needed all resources possible, turning the entire Cartharys into a paradise for the merchants that were selling everything they could, and the local garrison was buying everything it could.

They needed every potion, weapon or piece of armor that was possible.

Healing Potions and other types of Alchemy Potions were in extremely high demand due to the ongoing conflict because this was the safest and bulletproof method for the Valyrian Legions to keep losses low.

Each soldier of the Legion was given a few of these potions, which allowed them to apply them when they were injured, and thus, they could save their lives and heal from even some really severe injuries.

Once they were healed, not only were they alright, but they could also return back to the fight once again. 

"I will talk to Camille and relay her the information. She should be able to facilitate the delivery of more potions, but it will take some time. Around a few days to deliver another batch of the potions."

Valkorion said that he knew that it was impossible in a very short time because transportation of a large number of the potion was rather risky and lengthy. However, with the capabilities of the Ferros Chamber of Commerce, it would be done rather quickly if certain matters could be handled first.

"Though there is one thing that could be done to increase the speed of the delivery and secure the supply lines."

He said as General Belaerys looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze as he motioned for him to continue.

"The Trifarian Mercenary Company has been tasked with the extermination of the bandit group that has been targetting the merchant caravans of the Ferros Chamber of Commerce; there are approximately a few hundred brigands and bandits in there, including some Beyonders. If the Legion is able to help with that, it would secure the supply lines and also ensure that everything could be delivered much faster."

Valkorion explained that he planned to use the Valyrian Legion to secure the area so that no one of the bandits and brigands of the Arvinos would be able to escape from the onslaught that was coming for them.

At the same time, if he could obtain direct military help, then it would be a greatly welcomed thing. However, that would solely depend on the goodwill of General Belaerys and also the political implications behind it...

But this was actually much to his benefit.

The bandits and brightness were paid by the Arvinos Clan, and in fact, there were even many members of the Arvinos Clan directory among them. What was complicating matters slightly was that the Arvinos Clan was another Mercantile Clan of the Valyrian Freehold, but their main area of influence was Slaver's Bay.

And the Arvinos Clan had direct ties with the Sons of the Harpy.

"Who is behind them?"

General Belaerys asked directly because he didn't believe for a second that these were just average bandits without the support of someone more powerful behind them that was pulling the strings.

As a member of the Belayerys, he knew very well the power of the Clan Ferros and how much wealth they had, and even the fact that the new head of the Clan Ferros was probably the most militaristic Clan Leader that ever would be.

"Arvinos Mercantile Clan..."

Valkorion made a pause as he passed the General of the Legion several parchments of papers. General Aenar Belaerys frowned because he already didn't like where this was going.

"Though... the most important thing is that... apparently the Arvinos Clan is just a puppet of the Sons of the Harpy, and the Arvinos Clan is procuring Beynder Potions, Artifacts, Spiritron Item, Alchemy Potions, and practically anything valuable for the Sons of the Harpy. Even though the current Sons of the Harpy are just a group of young noblemen, far from the once powerful Beyonder organizations of the old Ghis, they are still a threat, and the Arvinos Clan is one of their plots on how to get Extraordinary Resources out of the Valyrian Freehold."

Many of the things that Valkorion said were pieces of information gathered by Camille Ferros and Clan Ferros, and he got her agreement to pass this information to someone very high-ranked in the Freehold's military.

Camille herself refrained from doing so...
