Chapter Seventy-Two: Facing the Great War, the Decision of Mo'an Village
In the Grand Canyon in the south of the Principality of Basol, in the conference room of the monster village, the main cadres of the village are gathered here at this moment.
In addition to me, there are Sack, the master of monsters, and his lieutenants, Padra the boarman, and Cardo the bear monster; Ethreth, the patriarch of the goatmen, and his cronies Sam and Gilta; Areb, the commander of the Goblin Warriors; Winston, the chief goblin mage; Fish-Man Commander Livada; The fish-man sacrifice is long-lived; Kobold Commander Nidit; Marosas, who called himself my apprentice; As well as Lanka and Il, a total of 15 people.
The meeting had been going on for more than half an hour, and we were projected in front of us in a loop that was hard to take lightly, a real image recorded through a magic prop called the Magic Stone. It tells the story of a staggering number of monster legions that crossed the border fortress of the Duchy of Basol and prepared to march south.
After seeing this video, everyone's faces were clouded.
"So, please tell us what you think."
An emergency meeting was held.,If you stay silent and don't say a word, it's meaningless.,As the leader of the entire monster village.,It's also my responsibility to be able to let everyone express their opinions as they please.。
Therefore, I was the first to say that I wanted to break the deadlock.
"Ogres, centaurs, and gnolls, no kind of monster is easy to deal with, and the number is too staggering, human, is this image you brought real?"
Ace Ress shook his head, clearly skeptical of the image's authenticity.
"It's true, this is a picture brought back by our generals stationed on the front line, there can be no mistake!"
Lanka answered Essress in the affirmative.
As a human, Lanka could not understand the language of the monsters, but the reason why he was able to communicate without any obstacle was because I used the high-level magic of "Mind Sharing" to everyone in the room.
At first, I was worried about whether Lanka would be able to adapt to the discussion with the monsters, but now it seems that I am completely overwhelmed. Although Lanka looked a little nervous when he first entered the conference room, his expression was quite comfortable at the moment.
He really deserves to be the man I fancied!
Wait, this sentence seems to be ambiguous, please don't get me wrong, although the body has become a skeleton, but my heart as a man, its xing orientation is still normal, cough cough, it seems to be a little far.
If you want to say why Lanka is with us at this moment, it goes back an hour. I was riding the nine-pointed star in the open field and running with the wind, and the nine-pointed star grew at an amazing rate, and in just one month it changed from the size of a puppy to the size of a horse.
Just as we were enjoying the pleasure of chasing the wind, the nine-pointed star suddenly stopped, and the nine heads began to sniff the air vigorously, and then it turned around and ran back to the village in excitement.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Lanka and Il, who were standing at the entrance of the village with sad faces.
After seeing Il, the nine-pointed star stretched out his nine heads and kept rubbing against him, presumably because he smelled the smell of this best playmate and ran back in such a hurry. And Yir was also very excited after seeing the nine-pointed star, and pounced on it.
"Yo, Lanka, has the rebellion been put down? How can you be free......"
I greeted Lanka happily, but before I could finish speaking, Lanka knelt down in front of me, raised his head and said in a very dejected voice, "Lord Kirgaru, please take a look at this, I ask for your help on behalf of the king." ”
So, there was this meeting.
"Gnolls and centaurs are supposed to be mortal enemies, it's really incredible to be able to cooperate in such a way, in addition, ogres are not monsters that like to act in groups, it is already very rare to have ten acting together, but from the image, the number of them is close to 10,000, these ogres alone are enough to destroy the entire Duchy of Basol, not to mention those centaurs and gnolls that far exceed the number of ogres. Moreover, the ogre who destroyed the city wall is probably not trivial, Lanka, if I were you, I wouldn't make useless resistance, it's better to flee as soon as possible. ”
Malotas said in a relaxed tone that didn't matter to herself.
"I'm not going to run away! As a general of the Duchy of Basol, I vow to live and die with the kingdom! ”
It seemed to be Marosas's attitude that made Ranka a little angry, and he slapped the table hard, then turned his gaze to me.
"Lord Kilgaru, once the monster army destroys the Duchy of Basol, it will inevitably attack your canyon, so we should join forces to fight the enemy at this moment!"
"Lord Kilgaru, the other party is a brutal monster living in the wilderness, and the combat ability of a single body is quite strong, if we leave the Grand Canyon and go to fight in the Principality of Basol, we will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, and it will only cause unnecessary sacrifices, so I think it is wise for us to rely on the steep terrain of the Grand Canyon to defend."
Sack immediately rejected Lanka's proposal.
"Yes, yes, Lord Sark has a point."
"If we take the initiative, we have no chance of winning, and the other party may not attack the Grand Canyon."
The rest of the cadres nodded in agreement.
"Lord Kilgaru!"
Feeling that the monsters were reluctant to fight, Lanka seemed very disappointed, and my speech became his last hope.
"I'm sorry, Lanka, although I would like to help you, but as the leader of everyone, I must also listen to everyone's opinions, Mo'an Village will not participate in this battle, and we have no obligation to fight for your Principality of Basol."
"But ......" Although he didn't want to give up in his heart, feeling the indifferent atmosphere around him, Lanka could only bow his head, "I see, I'm sorry to disturb you, Lord Kilgaru." ”
"Wait, Lanka, Kilgaru, as the leader of Mo'an Village, will not participate in the war, but Carter, as a friend, is still willing to fight alongside you."
I stopped and stood up, walking lonely to Lanka outside the door.
"Lord Kilgaru! It's too dangerous! ”
Worried about my safety, loyal subordinates have spoken out to stop me.
"Don't worry, I'm Kilgaru, but your leader is an invincible ** division, I'm just going to confirm whether the other party will pose a threat to the canyon."
I was very touched to see my subordinates so worried, but it was precisely because of this that I had to meet those monsters, and as the leader of this monster village, I had an obligation to protect this place.
"Lanka, I'll go with you too, how about it, I'm righteous enough, I'm so moved that I'm going to cry."
Yir patted his chest and said in a somewhat oily tone.
"Since you're going, teacher, there's no way, I'll go with you."
Malotas also stood up.
"Master Kilgaru, let Usaac accompany you."
"Thanks to your kindness, I, Aceles, am willing to go."
"I'm going too!"
"And me!"
After learning that they were going to the front line, their subordinates stood up one after another, their eyes as firm as iron, giving people the illusion that they were about to face not a death battle but an outing. What a heartwarming bunch of fools!
"Il and Marosas can come together, and I need you to stay in the canyon for the others, because it is likely to become a battlefield in the future, so please be patient until I give further orders."
I refused to follow everyone in a calm voice, although it was like pouring cold water on everyone's enthusiasm, but there was no way to do it, after all, if everyone went together, then my visit would be meaningless.
I wanted to go alone to save everyone from danger.
So, Monster Legions from the North, let me Kilgaru confirm your ambitions with my own eyes!
