"In two days, we will reach the southwest of [Noah's Line]. Xiu's finger tapped lightly on the map, "Pass through the [Noah's Defense Line] and walk for half a day to reach the imperial capital." Of course, this is the most ideal situation, but the reality is that two and a half days are far from enough time for us to reach the imperial capital. ”

"Why?"

"Because of refugees, isn't it?" asked Allen.

Xiu nodded: "As the last of the six major lines of defense, no one knows how many refugees have gathered under the [Noah Line]. In particular, the news of Alder's loss has now spread, and those who originally wanted to take refuge in Alder can only be rerouted to the imperial capital, and they will inevitably be blocked out of the [Noah's Line]. ”

"Why do you want to block them?" asked Old Pu puzzled, "Obviously they are all from the same clan." ”

"Humans are different from elves. Nicole said, "Even within the [Noah's Line] can't accommodate the entire Big 6 refugees, although the hall began to store food a year ago, but such a large number of refugees will still eat up the food in just a few days, so that there is no need for the dragon to attack, and the [Noah's Line] will be self-defeating." ”

"So they need to be selective about accepting refugees, right?" asked Nia softly, "for example, rejecting the elderly and children, because they only consume food and do nothing." Ah, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to target you. ”

Barov shook his head helplessly, and he looked at Lily who was asleep in his arms with a loving face: "I know what you say is true, indeed, people like me should have lived enough." So it doesn't matter if you can't get into the line, I just hope you can bring Lily in. ”

"It won't be that easy. Nicole shook her head, "Even if there is a choice to accept refugees, there must be a huge number gathered in the defense line for so many days." According to the original plan, when the number of refugees in the line reached a certain level, the line would be closed and no more refugees would be accepted. ”

As soon as Nicole's words came out, most people's faces changed. Peria clutched Ellen's clothes tightly, and Alan gently patted her shoulder as a sign of comfort, Lis's face turned pale, and Silo held her cold hand.

"Is the news true?" asked Silo.

"This plan was jointly signed by two princes and one prospective prince, and it represents the highest decision of the hall, and no one can change it. Nicole looked at the crowd and said, "Originally formulated and signed by Lord Karan of the Rose, Ian also signed his name after taking over the position of Lord of Thorns, and when he led the team to the Burial God Desert, my husband Dennis Granger took over the burden of the hall and was responsible for completing the finishing work of the [Noah's Line], and of course signed his own name. ”

The crowd was speechless. Indeed, the decisions made by two princes and one quasi-prince are unlikely to be changed by anyone in this world.

"Even so, as the Lord of Thorns, Ian has no problem trying to pass through the [Noah's Line]. Nia thought for a moment and said, "In that case, it wouldn't be embarrassing to bring us with you." ”

"Of course, not to mention Ian, with your status as the Elven Queen alone, those guards will not be able to stop you, after all, the enemy is currently great, and it is always good to have one more ally. Nicole said slowly, "But that's not what I care about, it's true that we want to get through the defense, and the guards won't stop us, but that doesn't mean that anyone else won't stop us." ”

"You mean, the refugees?"

Nicole didn't speak, but her eyes already told her answer. Nia pondered for a while and nodded, "You're right, if the [Noah's Line] is the same as the previous [Charr Line], we won't even have a chance to get close to the line. Refugees will block our path like mountains, and we can't get around them yet. But I don't think it's a big deal, and I can use Elven Wings to bring you all to the defenses. ”

"It's not that simple, Queen. Old Pu shook his head, "Besides you, there are ten of us here, do you have to fly back and forth nine times?"

Nia asked rhetorically, "Why not?"

"Have you ever thought about it if the other refugees saw it?" said Lao Pu calmly, "When those refugees who can't enter the defense line now have other ways to enter the defense line, and there are still people who can cross them and enter the defense line directly, the strong desire to survive and jealousy are the most terrifying things in human beings." ”

Nia suddenly wilted: "Then I can fly farther away." ”

"No, I can't. Old Pu still refused to let go, "You can pass safely the first time, you can pass the second time, but what about the third and fourth times? Ten round-trips, enough for those refugees to knock you out of the sky with weapons." You are the queen of the elves, the hope of the revival of the elves, not the mule that runs back and forth for humanity. ”

"Mules?" the queen was stunned, "what is that?"

Nicole hurriedly cleared her throat to prevent the argument from continuing. She knew Nia, and once she understood the meaning of the mule, she was afraid that it would be another rush.

"Lao Pu is right, you shouldn't risk yourself. Nicole said, "We can think of something else—"

"Just let her bring Ian back. Xiu said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look at Xiu. Xiu stroked the bangs in front of his forehead and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if we are alive or not, the important thing is that Ian must live." Only if he lives can we have any hope of winning this war. If he dies, then whether we can escape back within the defense line, or escape back to the imperial capital is a meaningless matter, anyway, the end is already doomed. ”

The crowd was silent.

Everyone knew that what Xiu said was not wrong, once Ian died, then the human race would lose its strongest weapon against the dragon clan, and no one would be able to stop the dragon emperor. This was also very clear to Xiluo and his party, after all, they had watched Ian defeat the seemingly invincible King of Flame and Thunder.

If Ian can't defeat Mussolini like Na Ash, then sooner or later the Imperial Capital will be the next Alder. Arnold understood this very well, so he did not hesitate to detonate the remaining black powder and exchange his life for Ian's chance to escape, because he knew that he could not change anything if he survived, but if Ian survived, he still had a chance.

Now Xiu also understands this truth, so when she said this, she was very calm, just like her brother, she was able to look directly at death and was ready to sacrifice. However, not everyone can be like their brothers and sisters, there are still people who want to live and are desperate to live.

Nicole understood this very well, and just as she was about to say something, a low dragon groan suddenly came from outside the house. Everyone's faces changed, and Lao Pu stepped to the window in one step, and when he opened the window, they saw countless dragons passing through the sky, pointing directly at the imperial capital.
