"Ogre tribe?!!" Maris was shocked. It was actually an ogre tribe. Around the Kingdom of Silverymoon, ogre tribes had never appeared before. It was simply too cold here, and ogres did not particularly like this environment. While there were some ogres here, there had never been a large-scale ogre tribe.
"Yes, that's the only possibility. If there weren't a tribe here, those stupid brutes wouldn't keep food as slaves. Even some large groups would only keep a small number of slaves—they would never have this many." Solam spoke with certainty. He looked at Maris somewhat strangely. This uncle looked like he should have been very experienced, so how could he not understand something this simple?
In truth, Solam had wronged Maris. Maris was indeed experienced, but he had never encountered an ogre tribe around here. He had always been active within the Kingdom of Silverymoon, and no ogre tribe had appeared in this area for many years, so it was only natural that he did not know. Don't think that every adventurer traveled all across the continent. In this dangerous world, traveling far from home was a risky matter. Even most adventurers operated around their hometowns.
"If there's an ogre tribe in the forest, we need to report it to Rock Town's town hall immediately. They need to stop issuing those monster-subjugation quests for the time being. Otherwise, a lot of adventurers will be in trouble." After considering Solam's words, Maris felt that they made a great deal of sense and decided to report the matter to town hall.
In this world, countless monsters existed in the wilderness beyond the areas inhabited by humans. Therefore, towns on the edges of human territories generally issued monster-hunting quests all year round to limit monster populations and prevent them from growing too numerous
