99 Two scenarios
Even though the militia and the refugees hadn't eaten breakfast because they had risen early, they were still doing their best - the refugees, who had survived the orc invasion and were not yet completely safe, had begun to do all they could for their fellow citizens who were still under the threat of an orc attack.

Humanity is indeed selfish in some cases, but selfishness is not the foundation of humanity in this world of danger - only unity can make humanity stronger and stronger and finally stand on its own among the races of the world of Azeroth.
But Vera certainly didn't starve the workers for too long - soon Vera and the women who had stayed in Nighttown were brought breakfast to the refugees who had been cut down trees.
"You're up early! Before we had breakfast ready, we were already cutting down trees! ”
Vera said with a smile as she handed the basket full of bread to De Jong - of course, this "you" did not include Marlon - Vera knew exactly what the Sir of Lothar had done last night and when he had woken up this morning.
"Vera, you're here...... Ahem, come over here. ”
Marlon was just in his turn to rest, and when he saw Vera coming, he hurriedly beckoned to her and called her aside.
"What?"
Vera asked softly as she wiped her hands on her apron and asked softly with a nonchagrin on her face.
"That...... What did you and Althea say? ”
Although Malone felt very embarrassed, he still asked cheekily - he and Althea were caught on the bed by Vera this morning, although nothing happened, but after all, Vera's daughter Maria was still lying between herself and Althea at that time, if Vera had an opinion in her heart and said something to Althea, Marlon felt that she needed to know, at least...... You can help Althea share some of the burden.
"Guess what?"
Vera glanced at Marlon, her voice full of teasing.
"How do I know ......"
Malone could only smile awkwardly - where did he guess this thing? Who knows what women say when they get together?
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to have a hard time for you...... We didn't say anything, if you want to know, go ask Althea yourself! But...... Sir Lothar, the next time you want to bring Althea back for the night, tell me in advance, and I'll be on the lookout for Maria. ”
Vera chuckled, then said to Marlon.
Bring Althea back for the night?
- Marlon was stunned for a moment before he realized the meaning of Vera's words.
"No, no...... No need, we ...... Althea loves Maria too, and so do I...... It's okay for children to do whatever they like. ”
Malone said hurriedly.
"You know that Mary was a child! Anyway, Sir Lothar, tell me before this happens the next time, aren't you afraid to teach bad children? ”
Vera snorted softly, then turned around, swayed her waist slightly, and left Marlon's side in style.
Young Sir Lothar remained where he was, with a black line - Vera was very good, and she never had to worry about her clothes, or the housework in her room; But...... She's too sensitive to men/women's affairs...... Why can she see everything she thinks clearly?
……
After nearly a day of busyness, the two giant trees were about to be brought down.
Malone rubbed his palms together—even he felt deeply tired after a day of hardly stopping to swing his axe; His hands had been bruised with blood, and his palms were also scratched.
Malone wasn't the most embarrassed of the refugees, but it was worth it.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
De Jong yelled at the militiamen to hide to the west of the giant tree.
Then, the man from the foothills of the Red Ridge Mountain, swinging the axe in his hand, slashed at the roots of the trees, which were already somewhat fragile.
The sound of "click" and "click" continued to sound, as if a turtle shell was roasted on the fire and cracked; De Jong ran desperately towards the crowd with his axe, not even daring to look back to see if the tree had fallen.
However, Malone and the others saw it clearly - the trunk of the tree that had been cut out of a huge gap could no longer bear the weight of the giant tree, and after a while, the huge trunk fell weakly in the opposite direction of the crowd.
In the morning, Ma Long and others had already observed that the direction of the falling trees was not blocked by other overly tall trees; A few small trees, which were not strong, were crushed in the middle when the towering canopy fell, and they did not play a role in stopping it.
There was a loud "boom", and the refugees let out a cheer - they had finally cut down the giant tree and could start the next round of work.
"Remove the canopy in the same way, leaving the trunk itself, and you can start making a canoe, right?"
Malone turned his head and asked De Jong.
"Yes, we have two options now."
De Jong spoke.
"How?"
Marlon hurriedly asked.
"We can make these two canoes more delicate and sturdy, but it will take at least a week."
De Jong explained.
"No way, we can't wait a week, in a day or two, we have to get it into the water."
Malone shook his head and said.
"That's the second option, hollow out the middle, scorch the bark and then go into the water, but ...... It will be easier to capsize. ”
De Jong said with a frown.
"Just use the second one."
Malone shook his head and made the final decision - choosing a canoe itself was already a risky act, so ...... Why bother taking a little more risky?
……
By the time the men of Nighttown returned to Nighttown, the smoke had already curled up, and Vera and the cooks had prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's a "dinner party", because bacon and chopped sausages are rare on the table, and even ......
"The Light is above...... I thought I would never drink wine again in my life. ”
De Jong sat down at the table, put his nose close to the rim of the large wooden cup in front of him, sniffed it gently, and then showed a look of intoxication.
"Can't think of it, right? As you leave, Robin's soldiers walk a little further to the south, where there is a vineyard. The grapes were not watched, and they had long since been eaten by the beasts, but there was still some wine in the cellar, and Robin and they brought them back. ”
Elo Eberlock said with a smile.
