Chapter 488 To save or not to save

"According to reports from our caravans traveling to and from the north, a tribe of frost giants and several white dragons ranging from youth to adults have become restless. In the past few months, their footprints and hunting grounds have continued to advance south. Now it’s approaching the Gobi Desert.”

Evander Holt tried to keep his voice steady, but no matter how he suppressed his emotions, he could not control his slightly trembling jaw.

"If it were just those monsters, they might not be scary, but with their activities, the tribes that originally had their own territories and were at peace with us were disturbed by them and were driven to the south. Some of them were relatively mild, It's like the ocher tribe that Ms. Sera used to belong to, and the more violent ones are mainly made up of orcs and dwarves. These guys' heads are as hard as rocks and they can't understand the truth at all!"

Evandell looked at Ron. He looked extremely anxious at this moment: "What's even more deadly is that those frost giants and dragons probably did it intentionally! According to observations, they wandered around in a large circle around each group. Finally, they rushed towards Yungang, which made their 'vanguard force' now reach a very large size. "

"If they want to attack Yungang, there is no way we can stop them - besides, Yungang's supplies cannot support their consumption!"

Evandell's meaning is very clear: after the war with those frost giants, Yungang will inevitably be completely destroyed, and the supplies in one port cannot satisfy the appetite of those northern creatures, and they will inevitably move further south.

First came the town of Frome, and then came the land of Delusion.

"Is it possible that they have a clear purpose?" Ron folded the letter again and rubbed his eyebrows, "They will return to their former territory after achieving their goal?"

Whether they are intelligent races or beast monsters, they generally have relatively stable habitats at the group level. If they really rush towards Yungang as if they have a clear intention, as Evander said, then it is very likely that they will He will also return to his hometown after the incident. Those tribes that were driven away and forced to migrate will naturally retreat.

Then all of this has nothing to do with Ron and Delusion.

The delusional land is not close to Yungang, and there is still the risk of encountering a giant dragon in the Gobi Desert. Ron would never go out so far to rush for help. If Evander wants to go back, let him go back. Although he has excellent abilities in clerical and administrative work, he is not completely irreplaceable.

It just so happens that there is one less ambitious person in the territory.

But Evandell obviously didn't think so: "My lord, this is probably impossible. I wonder if you have paid attention to the record of their traveling speed in the letter. At the beginning, their speed was not fast, but later, these behemoths The pace is so long and fast that it takes two days to walk in one day!”

"It's like... there's something chasing them behind them! They seem to be running away!"

"This form also affected the tribes who were driven away. They only maintained a certain speed at the beginning. Some tribes even tried to bypass the crushing giants and return after turning in a circle. Into the territory...but not long after, they gave up this move and rushed towards Yungang instead!"

"In any case, they will definitely not go back in a short time. I think you should make a decision early! Since their primary goal is Yungang, we should guard this portal first!"

"grown ups!"

Ron waved his hand to the surrounding citizens to do what they should do and not to pay attention to Evander's yelling. Of course he can understand the reason why Evander urged him to take a stand. Yungang and the Holt family are his home, and this place is just a certificate of surrender for this scar face. Now that Yungang is facing a crisis, of course he must Try your best to turn things around.

However, Evandell overestimated his influence on Ron and also overestimated his influence on others.

When Ron walked into the conference room and looked at the people who had been summoned by Evander, Ron could already read their attitudes on their faces. And his companions obviously already knew what Ron meant.

"I don't agree," Ivy said as soon as Ron dropped his butt on the chair, "Mr. Holt's information is vague. We can't judge how many giants, dragons and tribes were involved. It's rash Going for reinforcements will only bring us in, and the effect will be of little use. "

"But as far as I know, one of the important reasons why Delusion Land can maintain its operation is that there is Yungang on the other side." Evander frowned. "Businessmen will pass by Delusion Land because there is Yungang on one side and Rose on the other. City, if Yungang is destroyed in the hands of those barbarians, who will want to do business with us? "

"If we suffer heavy losses because of the long-distance rescue of Yungang, we will also have no way to survive!" Victoria retorted, "As Ivy said, we don't know much intelligence. If they are very powerful, , even if we rush to support, it will be difficult to reverse the situation, but will involve ourselves; and if we can fight against them, Yungang will not encounter any crisis. "

"You can't say that, priest," the hobgoblin said in a deep voice, "We can't just see the sacrifices, we should also see the benefits. Whether it's the frost giants, the white dragons, or even the tribes, they will inevitably move a large number of people as they migrate. We have all the important supplies with us, and as long as we make a few surprise attacks, we can gain a lot."

"Moreover, the goblins under my command have not experienced too many battles for a long time. They are very agitated and there are too many of them. They need to be controlled appropriately."

"This is an excellent opportunity. We don't have to trouble those city-states. We only need to kill some barbarians in the snow."

Sera was holding an empty wine glass in her hand. She seemed to have just come out of the tavern. When she heard Kalad say this, she looked at the hobgoblin warlord with some displeasure: "Barbarian, barbarian! It's easy for you to say that, but for us The 'barbarians' who have spent their whole lives in the snow are not easy to bully!"

"I always thought you were the strongest person there, and that's why I made the judgment," Kalad narrowed his eyes as he looked at Sera, "Aren't you the same?"

"I am, I am the most powerful person in the Ocher tribe, so I am the chief!" Sera snorted, "But I am not the strongest person in such a large snowfield! I can probably guess a few comparisons If the well-known tribes come with me, I can only hold back one or two warriors! How will I deal with those frost giants and white dragons?" (End of Chapter)
