"Of course I know that, Warrant Officer Oku. I agree with you - we have to get out of here, but ...... I don't trust those goblins. ”

An old man with gray hair but still in good spirits sat across from the officer and said with a frown.

The old man was Sir Elgardine, the town elder of Mooncreek, and opposite him was Warrant Officer Oku, the garrison officer of Sentinel Ridge.

The news of the orcs invading and capturing Stormwind was first taken to the Wild West by the refugees - although Marlon and Elo Eberlock chose to go further afield to the Night Forest, most of the refugees were exiled to the Wild West.

Since then, there has been frequent exchange between Sentinel Ridge and Mooncreek, the two largest human settlements in the Western Wilderness - there have been at least a few dozen letters exchanged between Sir Elgardine, the mayor of Mooncreek, and Warrant Officer Oku, the garrison of Sentinel Ridge, in the past few months.

Both Sir El Gardine and Warrant Officer Oku were concerned about the safety of the Wild West - while accommodating their compatriots who had fled from Stormwind, they also knew that once the orc armies turned around and began to attack the Wild West, no human could hope to survive in this vast wilderness.

Warrant Officer Oku had set out to defend Sentinel Ridge from then on—and although he had less than three hundred men under his command, he was still willing to be the first line of defense in the Western Wilderness.

At the same time, Warrant Officer Oku and Sir Elgardine issued a mobilization order to summon the peasants scattered throughout the Western Wilderness to take refuge in the nearest Sentinel Ridge or Mooncreek Town, which were far better than the farms in the wilderness, although they had no reliable protection.

Of course, despite their best efforts to deal with a possible attack, neither Warrant Officer Oku nor Sir El Gatdine was sure that they would be able to stop the orcs - even Stormwind had fallen/fallen, so what could they do?

Fortunately, for unknown reasons, those orcs were slow to march into the western wilderness; Neither Warrant Officer Oku nor Ser Elgardine knew what was going on over there in Stormwind, and they didn't have the extra men to send to Stormwind to get information - everyone knew that it was almost the equivalent of death.

Until a month ago, warrant officer O'Trap rushed to the town of Yuexi with the soldiers and residents of Sentinel Ridge.

Sir Elgardine remembered the look on his face when he saw Warrant Officer Oku - he thought Sentinel Ridge had been captured by the Orcs.

However, Warrant Officer Oku told him that this was not the case, that it was just a migration.

Before Sir Elgardine could relax his mind, Warrant Officer Oku brought even more shocking news, or rather, a worsening one, rather than a deterioration in the relationship between the two men.

Earlier, a team of goblins had arrived at Sentinel Ridge, and they had sold Warrant Officer Oku a piece of information for ten gold coins that the orcs were preparing to march into the Wild West.

At the same time, Warrant Officer Oku received a promise, or rather, a bargain, from the goblins that the goblins were willing to provide a fleet to help the humans of the Wild West get out of here; All they need is a reasonable commission – a "reasonable" amount if it can save lives, isn't it?

So Warrant Officer O'Sleepy agreed to this condition, and he issued a mobilization order, calling on the other farmers in the central and northern parts of the Western Wilderness who had not yet made it to Sentinel Ridge (some farmers were unwilling to give up their farms, even if they knew the news of the orc's imminent arrival) to rush to Mooncreek Town, and led by example with the soldiers and residents of Sentinel Ridge.

Warrant Officer Oku and the goblins made an appointment to board a ship in the waters near Mooncreek Town, and a few days ago the goblin fleet arrived in the nearby waters as promised, and they rushed to Moonbrook Town to inform Warrant Officer Oku, but ...... Until now, refugees in the Wild West have not been able to make the trip.

For Sir Elgardine was a staunch opponent of the operation, and apart from his own soldiers, Warrant Officer Oku's popularity among the people of the Wild West could not be compared with that of the old Sir and the old mayor.

The argument between Warrant Officer Oku and Sir Elgardine lasted for a month, but he was unable to convince the old mayor who was as stubborn as a stone. "I've said it a thousand times, Sir Elgardine, we have to get out of here, and those goblin ships are the only way for us."

Warrant Officer Oku said again—he was already a little impatient. "But those dwarfs cannot be trusted, Warrant Officer Oku, and I must warn you of that. Look at the mountains over there, where the richest families in the western wilderness once owned, but after being cheated out of all the ore by the goblins, the Gibbs family has disappeared from our sight for an unknown number of years. ”

Sir Elgardine retorted loudly.

"I don't trust the goblins either, but...... Forget it, Mr. McLaren, I would like to know about your advice on this matter. ”

Warrant Officer Oku gave up on convincing Sir Elgadine, and instead looked at another person in the room, a middle-aged man in a grey coarse cloth robe.

The middle-aged man named McLaren had come to Moonstream from Sentinel Ridge with Warrant Officer Oku - Warrant Officer Oku was the garrison officer of Sentinel Ridge and was in charge of the army there, and McLaren was in charge of the gold coins there - he was the steward of the lord there and was responsible for collecting taxes for his noble lord here.

However, upon leaving Sentinel Ridge, McLaren approached Warrant Officer Oku and said that he had decided to give up all the gold coins to reduce the burden on the convoy as much as possible.

McLaren's advice impressed Warrant Officer Oku with a smile on his face - he had little contact with the middle-aged man, who had always thought he was a miser with only gold in his eyes.

As a result, Warrant Officer Oku and McLaren began to communicate with each other, and he gradually discovered that McLaren was a very knowledgeable scholar.

However, when he arrived at Mooncreek, Warrant Officer Oku found himself arguing with Sir Elgardine about whether or not he should set foot on the goblin ships, and McLaren refused to express his opinion, and only wandered between the two men.

This made Warrant Officer Oku feel a little irritated at the same time confused, and he must get McLaren's accurate attitude on this matter today.

"Warrant Officer Oku...... Is there really no way we can stop the orcs from attacking? We don't even know the exact number of them, so it's a bit ...... to leave in a hurry Too sloppy? ”

McLaren also seemed to know what Warrant Officer Oku was thinking, and he frowned, finally not vaguely again, but asked directly.
