Reign looks briefly at the stats while keeping note of Greenie's new bonuses from his ability, seems like he still hasn't fully digested the inheritance yet, since a couple of new skills are still unknown while even the new ability is only partially there.

"Are we really going to trust him?" Wolf asks Reign as they slowly walk towards their territory.

"I think we can, I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure he didn't lie to us back there." Reign scratches his head as he answers Wolf. For some reason, his intuition was telling him that Magokur didn't lie previously and that he truly does wish for an alliance to be formed between them.

"No offense Reign, but intuition won't be enough for something like this, what if his goal is to use us to kill the chieftain before simply betraying us?"

"Well in that case we kill him, it shouldn't be that hard." Reign shrugs his shoulders as he smiles at Wolf who was looking at him with a confused face.

"I really don't understand you sometimes, but alright, I'll follow your lead this time, I really hope your intuition doesn't come back to bite us in the ass."

"Relax man, we just can't get too relaxed when we're around Magokur and we will be fine, what I want to know is how we can get in contact with him?" Shadow suddenly asks as he gets closer to the two. Reign takes a crystal out of his pocket and shows it to them.

"He told me that he will contact us later and gave me this when the commander showed up, I guess it works as a phone?" Reign tells them as he looks at the weird crystal with confusion in his eyes, "Maybe if I use mana?"

"Wait!" Wolf suddenly shouts as he grabs Reign's arm.

"Hm?" Reign blinks innocently a couple of times as he looks at Wolf who sighs in relief.

"I don't think it's a good idea to call him while he's with the commander and the other orcs, what if that destroys the whole plan?"

"Oh yes, I forgot about that!" Shadow suddenly says as he looks at Wolf with shining eyes.

"For god's sake." Wolf simply shakes his head as he glances at Shadow before turning his head back to Reign.

"Let's just wait for him first, I am interested in what kind of plan he will come up with."

"You're pretty excited for someone that worried about him betraying us just a couple of seconds ago." Laura suddenly speaks up from behind them as she looks at Wolf with a smile on her face.

"Well, like these two geniuses said, it's not like we can't kill him or prepare for the worst before starting the plan," Wolf says while glancing back at Laura. During the past month or so since she has joined the girl has become more open and free compared to before. Everyone was happy for her, to live as she has would take a huge mental toll on anyone and most would go mad.

"Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed, we didn't even get to use our new items during this battle." Shadow sulks as he walks next to Reign who slaps him on the back of the head.

"Be grateful that we didn't have to use them, the less dangerous a fight is the better it is for us, we already managed to level up from this fight anyway."

"I know, I just really wanted to see them in action, especially Beast's, he got the best one as usual." Shadow gives Beast a resentful look as the latter simply smiles nervously at him, what could he do, he was simply born lucky.

"You'll have a chance to do it later, for now, let's get back to the territory and wait for Magokur to contact us," Reign tells him as they continue towards the territory.

As they entered the underground city they could see the crowd busily moving around. The fighting squads were trying to sell their loot to the peddlers and crafters who in turn bargained for the best price.

Some people were looking at the weapons that the local blacksmiths made, wondering whether or not they should buy them. Compared to Reign and the others they were not strong enough to fight against large crowds of monsters or against strong bosses without a huge risk, therefore their equipment wasn't nearly as good as theirs.

Most squads worked together whenever they encountered stronger bosses or bigger groups of enemies, which allowed them to minimize their losses and injuries. Many such squads formed alliances where they would always move in the same direction when going out to hunt, if any squad was in danger they would be able to respond quickly and help them out.

They moved through the crowd as people made way and nodded happily to them, the last event with the undead was something that frightened most, and knowing that Reign and the others successfully cleared it made them feel grateful and safe, especially after finding out that Reign had actually gone unconscious from overexerting himself.

They enter their building and go to their rooms in order to remove their armor and get comfortable, they spent the next couple of hours relaxing before hanging out in the living room. Soon Reign took out the crystal that was now glowing with a blue light.

They all come closer before he channels mana to it.

"Thankfully you knew how to use this." A voice comes from the other side as Reign and the others smile.

"Well, it wasn't that hard to get the hang of it." Reign answers as a chuckle could be heard from the crystal, "So, talk, what plan do you have, Magokur?"
