Chapter Eighty-Five: Cross Returns
After Watson left suddenly, Ulala, the queen of the Hofers, trotted up to Cross and asked why.
"Lord Cross, why did the werewolf leave suddenly, isn't he one of your people?"
Ulala has been observing the relationship between Cross and the werewolf along the way, and although she already has some trust in Cross, she may not be able to do so with others, especially the werewolf. She fears that werewolves will be a danger to the Hoffers.
And this, Cross also considered, he knew very well how serious the impact of bringing together many subhumans could be, because he wanted to maintain not only the relationship between humans and subhumans, but also the relationship between subhumans. This is not an easy task.
In the face of Ulala's sudden question, Cross did not lie, "He is not my citizen yet, and what he said in Sunset City just now was a lie I said." ”
Ulala was stunned, the Lord Cross, whom she trusted so much, had deceived her, and the anger in her heart arose, but she thought about it, since Lord Cross had lied, then why did he tell her the truth of the lie, isn't this just trusting her......
Thinking of this, Ulala's impulse was also temporarily suppressed.
Cross didn't notice the change in Ulala's expression, he still looked ahead, and then sighed, "Ugh...... Hopefully, that stupid wolf can handle the rebellion of the tribe and come back alive. ”
"There's a rebellion in that werewolf tribe?" asked Ulala with concern, not knowing why she was concerned about werewolves.
Only then did Cross realize that his self-talk had revealed too much information, and then he pretended to smirk, "That's a werewolf business, we have no reason to meddle." ”
"You say that he is not your people now, it means that you want him to be your people, but if he dies, how can he be your people?"
Cross stopped suddenly, and looked at the diminutive Ulala beside him.
"Thank you, Ulala. ”
Cross thanked Ulala because he felt cared for by Ulala's words, and he suddenly felt that the Hoffils didn't seem to be just digging holes, and that their empress Ulala was a perceptive and considerate little fellow.
Perhaps, the other Hoffers also possess some special talents.
"If you really thank me, catch up with that werewolf. ”
Cross smiled, "Don't worry, I know his strength quite well, he will be fine, if I go, it will cause trouble for him." ”
As for the rebellion of the Frostwolf Tribe, Cross believes that Watson can handle it, and only he can handle it.
Watson himself is the chief of the Frostwolf Tribe, his status in the entire tribe is the highest, and the werewolves who trust him are also the most, and if Watson leads a human to rebel, then the werewolves who originally trusted him may be shaken, which will increase the difficulty of quelling the rebellion.
Moreover, the rebels must have spread the news of Watson's death among the tribe, so Cross asked Watson to go back as soon as possible. Because, once the time drags on, most of the werewolves in the tribe will accept the new chief, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult for Watson to quell the rebellion.
Naturally, Cross would not talk to Ulala about these reasons, but when Ulala saw Cross's confident smile, she didn't ask any more questions, she chose to trust the lord's judgment.
"I see, Lord Cross. ”
"By the way, Ulara, do you have any special skills or talents?"
"The greatest advantage of our Hofer people is that we dig holes, and we can build the most comfortable, safest, and most ambitious underground cities. Ulala raised her bulging head and replied confidently.
"Can you build an underground city inhabited by humans, or even larger subhumans?"
"No problem!"
Cross was overjoyed, these Hofers were treasures. At this moment, he has a new plan for Tongshan Town.
"Are there any of you who are very knowledgeable?"
Ulala put her finger to her little mouth, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Except for me, the other Hoffers are of average learning. ”
"Ulala, if you can, I want you to find a manager among your people as soon as possible. ”
"Why?" said Ulala, tilting her head.
"I'll arrange your more important work. ”
Ulala was flattered, she and His Excellency Cross had just met, and His Excellency said such a word of trust in her, she would naturally go all out to serve Cross.
"Yes! ”
Due to the fact that it was on foot, and there were short-legged Hoffils in the group, the speed of the whole group was much slower.
The team arrived at the three-way intersection after 9 p.m., and when they reached this intersection, it meant that they had arrived at the town of Tongshan.
Cross had already expanded the town of Coppermountain, and the intersection was Tina's alchemy lab.
Tina's efficiency is very high, a huge pit has been completed, and the next step is to build the laboratory.
However, at this point in time, Tina was clearly not in the lab.
Cross commanded the team around the pit and continued on their way.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from ahead, "Lord Cross!"
Immediately after, a petite figure rushed towards Cross.
Cross could tell at a glance that it was Nia who was running.
Nya was as happy as a child to see Cross return safely, and she walked upside down in front of Cross, sharing what she had learned with Close.
Reiner's injuries have improved a lot, Wendy's overseer granary is nearing completion, and Gawain is reluctant to go to Blackwater but is dragged away by Lancelot.
The first two pieces of news were expected by Cross, but the last one was something he was worried about.
"Nia, did you tell Gawain and Lancelot.
If you find out that Blackwater is being taken by the Kingdom of Seahead, or if you find that the Seamaidan army is beginning to capture Blackwater, have them retreat immediately. ”
"Hmm!" said Nia.
Although Nia replied so, Cross was still a little uneasy in his heart, because, in addition to the first two possibilities, there was another possibility, Gawain and Lancelot also arrived in Blackwater Town in a short period of time, and Seada's army also reached Blackwater Town, so the two of them would be trapped in Blackwater Town.
This is not the outcome that Cross wants to see.
"Nia, I want you to do two things. ”
"Good!"
"You go back to Copperhill first, and let Wendy lead the residents of Copperhill to set up tents, the more the better. ”
"Good. ”
Then, immediately take a boat to Blackwater and bring Gawain and Lancelot back. ”
"Huh?"
