Leaving the sailboat, Du Qian and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, Wendal didn't turn his face directly just now, otherwise the three of them would definitely explain here, and the rest of the people in the city would be equal to losing the morale of the army, and they would collapse at the first touch, basically unable to stop the attack of the goblins.
Wiping a cold sweat, Du Qian smiled at Amilka with palpitations. "It's up to you to fight this time, they have deep-sea sailing ships, we can't match them at sea, but as a defender, as long as you build a strong enough defense line to make it impossible for them to land, we will win!"
Amilcar stared at Du Qian for a while with huge bull's eyes, and then nodded at Du Qian to show that he understood.
Leaving the range of the submarine, the three of them got into a small boat and quickly returned to the Holy Light Outpost, announcing the news of the start of war to the people of the Holy Light Outpost, and issued a series of orders for combat readiness, and began to build a solid land defense system. Fortunately, the goblins should not know about the connection between the Holy Light Outpost and the City of Heroes and the eight villages, otherwise if the goblins turned around and attacked the village, Du Qian would suffer heavy losses.
"My lord, about half an hour before you returned, a hunter from the City of Heroes brought a letter asking you to open it in person, so I haven't read it yet." One of the guards who had been selected by the chief of the guard and Amilcar to temporarily manage the Holy Light Outpost respectfully handed over a letter after Du Qian had given all the orders.
Skillfully opened the letter, it was the mother of the Camelia wrote: she had sent someone north to negotiate with the bear monsters, and learned that the frost trolls in the north were expanding wildly, and many of the bear monsters had lost their homes and moved south for a stable living environment. After the negotiation, the leader of the bear monster expressed his hope that he would like to be temporarily sheltered by the City of Heroes, and in return, the Tin Tribe can do everything for the City of Heroes that will not harm his clan. It's just that since learning of the existence of the goblins, the people have been hostile to the existence of foreign races, and now although they are temporarily willing to accept these bear monsters, it is not a long-term solution, and related matters need to be resolved as soon as possible. At the end, the delicate and delicate Kamia was attached.
Finally saw the good news, not only solved the trouble of the bear monster in the south, but also as long as the use of this group of bear monsters is equivalent to becoming a subsidiary of Du Qian, and the subsequent development can be used as a communication with the bear monsters in the north, easy access to a large number of land resources. Although what Kamiya said in her heart is very simple, but the things in it are naturally not so simple, just ask who will willingly become a subsidiary of others, the difficulty of which can be imagined.
Putting down the letter, Du Qian took a deep breath, and then he only needed to devote himself to how to this group of nasty green-skinned monkeys, Du Qian instantly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was relaxed, and he was much more relaxed.
With a long exhalation of turbid air, Du Qian looked at Amilcar mysteriously and smiled brightly. What kind of personality is Amilka? This temper tantrum is the most unbearable for this kind of selling. "Lord of the City, if you have something to say, don't lose my appetite for good things or bad things, it's a big deal to carry bad things, if it's a good thing, say it and give it to everyone!?"
Looking at Amilka, who was sweating profusely in a hurry, Du Qian shook his head and slowly spit out what everyone wanted to know. "The bear monsters that have gone south have been taken care of, and they will become our vassals in the future, and they still have a large number of their kindred living in the northern forests to provide countless conveniences for our northward journey, and then we only need to concentrate on dealing with the goblins at sea."
After listening to Du Qian's words, everyone was a little stunned, who would have thought that the original enemy would actually become their own subordinate in such a short time, and they could provide so many benefits for themselves by the way? After reacting to all this, everyone's faces were filled with heartfelt smiles, the city of heroes is its own force, and it is naturally a good thing that their own family members have become stronger, and they feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay, okay, okay, come and tell me about this to the soldiers below, so that everyone can be happy, and then concentrate on dealing with those annoying green-skinned monkeys!" Amilcar slapped his thigh and shouted three times before letting the guards spread the good news.
"Then let's do this first, and then only the goblins are left, let's take a good look at it." Du Qian's eyes lit up and began to become serious. Hearing him say this, the others gradually became more and more serious, and seriously thought about the defensive measures and the countermeasures for the unexpected, and soon the room resounded with the sound of everyone's methodical discussion, until the last glimmer of light in the West disappeared, and a touch of white rose, and Amilcar made the final decision. Then everyone dispersed, and each took charge of his own tasks according to the content of the meeting.
The seagulls have already returned to their nests, a whale floats on the surface of the sea and occasionally spews out a stream of water, and occasionally a few late seabirds suddenly swoop down mischievously and chop a few waves with their wings. Suddenly, a huge black shadow slowly appeared from the sea, and the aura of slaughter made people shudder, and the fish fled far away from this range, avoiding its path......
At this time, the Bear Monster Tribe, which was blocked by the City of Heroes, was also engaged in a fierce quarrel.
"Iron Hand, you can't do this, when did our Iron Tribe fall to the point where we needed foreign protection for it?" A monster bear with dark yellow fur slapped on the long wooden table, shaking the wooden table.
"Don't forget one thing, Ironskin, we've been driven out of our homes by the Frost Trolls, and we're now fugitives!" The bear monster named Iron Hand rested on his firm chest with reddish-brown arms around it, and looked at Iron Skin and said word by word.
Iron Sheet was speechless for a while, don't turn your head and don't look at Iron Hand. After a while, as if he thought of something again, he turned his head and stared at the iron hand with the bear's eyes: "We are fugitives, we have lost our homeland, we have been driven out, yes, but we don't need the protection of foreigners, we can live on our own strength!" ”
"Do you want to live on your own?" Iron Hand looked at Iron Fist and smiled. "Look at the way we are now, lost dogs, we need a place to recuperate, a shelter that doesn't require much effort from us, enough for us to grow quickly, and if we join our kindred, as you say, how can they see us grow strong in their own territory. In the eyes of human beings, it is different, although we have taken refuge in them, but we are still foreign, our strength is available, I once heard travelers say, in the north wind tundra, the yak tribe is close to human relations, human beings are not afraid of their strength is strong, we can also use their strength and cohesion to unify the bear clan in the entire forest, what a great glory! ”
"But how do you know that this group of humans can give us shelter and help us unify the bear clan?" An elder named Blackfish stood up and asked his own question, his heart already a little shaken.
Iron Hand smiled and nodded, and with a clap of his hands, a thin gray bear monster stood out from the corner, dragging a very old book and a dried herb in his palm and began to speak: "About half a year ago, my mother was seriously ill, and after many people treated it to no avail, I stumbled upon the classics that said that there was a herb that grew on the coast that had a miraculous effect on this disease, and that was the area where I had passed through the city of heroes where it is now, where there were no traces of any buildings, just a collection of beaches and rocky beaches. ”
"How's your mother doing?" Blackfish reached out and took the book and the withered grass in his hand, compared the herb with the description in the book, nodded, and passed it on to the others.
"Mother, she's gone, when I come back!" His voice was a little low.
"It's clear now that the City of Heroes didn't exist half a year ago, and what we do know is that it now occupies a large area here, and the city has begun to take shape and has the potential to grow into a large city. Eight small villages were even established here at the same time, and the Holy Light Outpost was set up here, the purpose and ambition of which are self-evident, and it can be developed to such an extent in half a year, it can be said that it is a city from heaven, if there are enough resources and time to develop..."Iron Hand withdrew his hand pointing to the map, and did not continue, leaving a chance for them to think for themselves. If you break too much, the effect will not be so good.
"Now the potential and ambition of the City of Heroes are undoubtedly convinced, but our bear clan is really unwilling to rely on the power of foreign clans, so there is no other way to choose?" The other elder spoke, his face tangled in pain.
"You also said that the ambitions of the City of Heroes are indeed great, do you think they will let an existence like us lie on his pillow?" Iron Hand casually took the book that had been handed back, and flipped through it casually. "One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, eternal and unchanged, if we can't stop his development, one day we will either surrender or destroy, there is no other choice, their armed forces you see, if they defend to the death, which of you can guarantee that they can conquer it?"
"I, well—" Iron Fist, who had been listening all along, slammed the table hatefully and rushed out of the door through gritted teeth. Iron Hand sighed secretly, he knew that Iron Fist needed to digest it and change it well.
"If there is no problem, let's disperse, prepare for the relevant matters, the city lord of the city of heroes will visit in a few days, and we must not let people look down on us!" Iron Hand admonished the elders.
