I Became the Demon King of Lust

When the Ice Princess heard this, she immediately knitted her brows as she looked at the C Rank leader.

The C Rank leader couldn\'t help slowly stuttering his words until he finally stopped talking.

The Ice Princess then looked at them with narrowed eyes as she said, "You care more about profit than you do about human lives?"

When this heavy accusation came down, the C Rank leader and the others all quickly shook their heads.

When such a heavy accusation was thrown down, they were naturally terrified and went out of their way to deny it.

But the Ice Princess still said, "Don\'t think that I don\'t know what you\'re thinking. You don\'t want to go through with this plan because it\'ll ruin the corpses of the normal orcs. You wanted to cash in on all of the orcs and even the Orc General, right?"

All of them couldn\'t help giving a gulp when they heard the Ice Princess\' accusation and they slowly lowered their heads, as if they didn\'t dare look right at her.

However, her words had hit the target.

Indeed, that was the main reason why they didn\'t want to go through with this plan.

There was a bit of concern about burning this large area in this break zone and how dangerous it would be, but it was mainly because of profit.

After all, people only became Awakeners because of the money. Being an Awakener was a way to easily make money and many Awakeners were all about maximizing their profits.

If they burned the orcs, they wouldn\'t be able to sell their corpses or even salvage anything from them.

So it was the last thing that they wanted to do.

The Ice Princess didn\'t stop there as she continued to say, "You should know that this isn\'t just about clearing out the orcs and stopping the Orc King. This is also about protecting the people of the world. If the orcs gather too much power here and break out of this break zone, who do you think will suffer the most? Of course it will be the common citizens."

They couldn\'t stop their faces from turning red when they heard this since the logic that she used was airtight.

In the end, they had no choice but to accept the plan.

It wasn\'t just because of her logic, but also because of the fact that she was the vice guild master. If they offended her over this, it was certain that they wouldn\'t have a future in the guild.

Even if they wanted to change guilds, with the vice guild master against them, they wouldn\'t have a good time.

It was similar to how if a worker at a normal company had a boss that they offended, they wouldn\'t be able to easily find another job.

In a way, being in a guild was like working for a company.

Or at least it was like working for a company when it came to the culture.

Since they had accepted this plan, all that was left was distributing the tasks.

The Ice Princess knew that it would be hard for the D Rankers to accept this, so she personally came out to give them orders.

If it was the Ice Princess giving the orders, there was no one that dared to disobey.

So even if they didn\'t like the plan for the same reason as the C Rank leaders and his followers, they still went to cut down the trees.

Even though we wouldn\'t be helping with cutting down the trees, us porters were still required to help out with transporting the wood that was cut. At the same time, we helped with cutting the wood that was cut into smaller kindling that we spread out across the forest.

This would be used to make the flames burn stronger to completely smother the orcs in flames.

Of course, it was impossible to completely hide this since the orcs did come out from time to time.

So the orcs that came out were taken out by the scouts that were hiding in the trees. They watched the orcs in the camp and whenever a bunch of orcs came out, they would follow them and take them out silently so as not to attract attention.

It could be said that these scouts had the hardest jobs in all of this.

We just had to cut the trees, but they had to fight orcs and do it silently which made it harder. Especially since it was much easier to cut trees with the special abilities of these Awakeners.

It was also because these Awakeners had special abilities that we were able to cut the trees down so quickly. It took no more than two hours to finish cutting the ring of trees around the orc camp.

Once this was done, the main group gathered in front of the entrance of the orc camp. Of course, we didn\'t remain out in the open and stayed in the forest near the entrance so that the orcs couldn\'t see us.

We were here because we knew that the orcs would come running out the entrance in an attempt to escape. If they ran in any other direction, all they would face is a wall of flames.

After one last check, the signal was given to the Awakeners that were waiting.

These were Awakeners that were scattered in the forest around the orc camp with torches in their hands.

Once the signal was given, they dropped the torches in their hands onto the kindling in front of them.

It took no time at all for the kindling to catch on fire and even with the strong winds, the fire soon spread to the surrounding trees.

In an instant, there was a ring of fire that had been created around the orc camp.

Just like that, the plan was set into motion.
