Chapter 398: The Great Retreat and Runes
"What!"
Wait for Richard and Chief Setos to return to Fort Alpine and hold an internal council meeting to finish the whole thing from beginning to end. The reaction was exactly the same as he had at the beginning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time to be surprised. The lord stepped on the chair with one foot like a bandit and slapped the oak table twice, "Whoever has any ideas, don't hurry up and speak freely!"
He was greeted by a dead silence and sluggishness.
"Don't you speak?
The lord's eyes looked down on the earth like an eagle hunting, while the others craned their necks like quails for fear of attracting attention.
"Mr. Buckland, say a few words?"
"Sorry Richard, I haven't figured it out yet. The old white tiger shook his head slowly.
"I think...... You can't let Chief Setos go to that royal court meeting, right?" Vera said and quietly observed the reactions of the people around her.
"Agreed. Sinclair held up a hand in the air, "If the Titan can read minds, his face will be completely exposed, and Chief Setos' life will be in danger." ”
"There's no such thing as mind reading. The Iron Giant stood outside the castle, leaning his face against the window of the tea room on the third floor, and said in a whisper.
"The mind of intelligent beings is so complex, there are thousands of thoughts that pass by every second, and only a small part of them can be mastered. If there is a mind-reading technique, the caster will immediately be overwhelmed by so many complicated thoughts!"
"Even if you don't have mind reading. The half-elf chick looked unusually shrewd in a white shirt and a pair of gold-wire flat mirrors today, "Are you still going to attend the Titans' royal court meeting?"
Chief Setos was silent.
But as long as there is no problem with the mind, how can anyone want to deal with a madman, let alone an unusually powerful madman.
"Assassinate the Titans!" Elizabeth's eyes instantly turned cold as ice, and then she received a sturdy knife from the lord on her head.
"If the Iron Giant doesn't attend the royal court meeting, it will actually be equivalent to a complete turn against the Titans, and the Great Forest of Twilight will really be at the time of Twilight. Richard said, "Then we must take advantage of this month to evacuate all the Tiger Spirits and Iron Giants before the Titans discover the anomaly." ”
"It's not difficult to simply evacuate. "That's only a few tens of thousands of people, and in an emergency, you can evacuate in three days at most, which is more than enough for a month." ”
"There happens to be a goblin ruin in the underground volcano, and it wasn't easy to get out of the Great Twilight Forest before. Richard rubbed the stubble on his chin, "Wait until the evacuation is over, and then activate the floating fortress to cause a volcano, which is enough to destroy all traces, and the Titans may think that the Iron Giants are all in flames." ”
In fact, for Alpine Castle, the significance of the existence of the Great Twilight Forest is extraordinary.
The high-grade military food of the sand spider jerky is not mentioned for the time being, and the Qimen treasure such as the source blood pool is also put aside first.
On top of that, the full moon night every thirty days provides a steady amount of leveling experience for warriors, and it's relatively safe.
With this, the Ripper Legion can have an unusually high average level, and even two of the Troll Warriors have advanced to the Silver Giant.
Once he lost the excellent bridgehead of the Great Twilight Forest, it would be impossible for Richard to get a dozen blades long, weigh hundreds of tons, and have a particularly delicate body under the nose of the Titans to get a dozen blades long and weigh hundreds of tons from hundreds of yards deep underground to the other world!
In the meantime, the monthly experience harvest will become a must-have, and the end is heart-wrenching.
But since there is no capital to fight with the Titans at the moment, giving up has become inevitable, which is a helpless choice.
"That's all there is to it. Chief Setos sighed and nodded again.
Buckland's old face full of pleats was full of tangles and desires.
"Say!" Richard snapped his fingers.
"Nothing. The old white tiger shook his head hesitantly, "That's it...... I think it's a bit of a pity. ”
"yes, that's a shame. Chief Setos's eyes were covered with tears, and his eyes were a little red.
After all, it was their home for 10,000 years, with countless laughter and sorrow, hope and loss, diligence and fatigue. If even a beggar would have a nostalgia for the bridge cave where he lived for three days, how could the Iron Giant not have a feeling for the Great Twilight Forest?
This majestic and majestic high-ranking giant elder was shaking his shoulders like an aggrieved child at the moment. A sincere sadness is naturally revealed, making everyone's hearts as heavy as a lead block.
Several women were more sentimental, and as soon as they were infected by the atmosphere, they immediately cried together.
"Chief, Alpine Fort will be your new home from now on. Vera wiped the corners of her eyes and forced out a bright smile, "The four seasons here are also beautiful, the river is also very clear, and the bitter wattle flowers are also luxuriant......"
"The situation is urgent, there is no time for us to waste, and we will vent any emotions later. The lord clapped his palms to attract attention, and said with a tiger face, "I'll go find Zara now and see if the floating fortress can be activated." Others also rushed into action and began to prepare for the migrants!"
At the sound of the order, the entire administrative machinery of the Alpine Fort began to operate. The clerks are running back and forth with documents, and will purchase large quantities of supplies, build shelters, and organize transportation capacity in a short period of time.
At the same time, the lord had already gone straight to the outside of the Goliath gap.
The familiar road passes through the dark and long corridors and enters the underground ruins. It's not as deserted as it used to be, because cracking the goblin runes is not only a desire of Zara, but Richard himself has always attached great importance to it.
He struggled to get a group of ten slave scholars who had signed a deed of sale, hoping to help a little. It's no surprise that they don't want to leave the mountain fort again in their lives, but for scholars, it is a lifetime honor to be part of this event.
It's a pity that Zara complains that they are all mediocre people, and they are not qualified to be assistants, and can only take on the most basic part.
And the logistics team responsible for taking care of daily life is also as many as 200 people. In the kitchen alone, there are sixty halflings wearing big white hats, and they can serve all the common dishes on the market openly.
"My lord!" the fierce Tiger Spirit guards slammed into their heels.
Richard bowed slightly at him and walked to his room.
"You're here. The goblin sat in a wheelchair, his lips slightly curled, and he didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
He wore a pair of silk white gloves on his hands, and carefully held a thumb-sized silver-white metal member, "Guess what?"
"Don't tell me it's runes. The lord shrugged calmly.
