Chapter 19: The only way to fight back is to fight back!
The night was dark, and the Hammer camp fell silent, with only a few cabins still lit up, and for some, the night was still long.
The wick of the pine resin lamp placed on the wooden table burst into a small light spark, and the light and shadow swayed to reflect the three sleepless figures.
"How could such an important retreat be destroyed by someone, is it the elves or the goblins?" asked Leon.
The wry smile on Elder Munstan's face was even stronger: "No, it's that we destroyed the Kingdom of Blindon ourselves!"
"How so?" Leon asked in surprise, "Isn't this putting to death the tribes left behind in the south?
"I was kicked in the head by a donkey..."Elder Munstein chewed on this common saying that Leon originated from the original world, and sighed: "Perhaps, the current Kingdom of Bimeng is no longer what it used to be, the spirit of bravery, fearlessness, dedication, and sacrifice is disappearing from the bloodline of the beast race, and the top level of the kingdom is caught in the whirlpool of struggle for power and profit, and the pressure on the elf race is retreating step by step!"
"Some people thought that as long as they ceded the territory of the Wuthering Forest south of the Nucang River, the appetite of the elves would be satisfied. There are also those who believe that the raging and vast river will stop the elves from invading, and the giant wooden bridge will become a dangerous factor. β
"What is this?" Lei Ang raised his eyebrows: "If you are worried about the giant wooden bridge being used, you can completely set up a fortress defense on the side of the bridge, so that the tribes left behind in the Wuthering Forest still have a way to retreat and vitality, can't the high-level of the kingdom think of this?"
"They think more..."Elder Munstein shook his head, "In fact, the tribes that are still in the Whistling Forest are all willing to stay behind to resist the enemy, and before the kingdom destroyed the giant wooden bridge, it also managed to notify the various tribes and let everyone retreat to the north. β
"But for thousands of years, the Whisking Forest has been the home of our Bimon beast clan, where we were born, grew, and fought until we finally returned to the embrace of the forest, if we can easily give up our home, then what is there to fight and protect?"
"That's right!" said in a deep voice from the rock hammer on the side, "My father once told me that we can lose our lives, but we can't give up our dignity!"
"So the top of the kingdom gave up on you..."Leon sneered, "Maybe they are counting on you to hold back the elves here, and use your life and dignity to satisfy the appetites of the elves and goblins, so that they can continue to survive in peace in the north!"
He really didn't expect that the kingdom established by the beast clan would be so unbearable, for more than a month, he regarded himself as a member of the Hammer tribe, and the various injustices encountered by the tribe were naturally sympathetic.
Although Elder Munstein's words still meant to explain the kingdom, the situation of the Hammer tribe was telling, and when Leon arrived, the tribe's best weapon was a tattered battle axe.
Leon's words were very harsh, and Elder Munstan did not refute it, but said: "Not all the high-level of the kingdom are like this, neither the Tiger Descendants nor the Fox Descendants of the Shang Clan approve of such a practice, but..."
The old shaman sighed loudly, sad and helpless.
At this point, Leon calmed down completely, he thought for a while and said: "Since the kingdom can't rely on it, then we have to rely on ourselves, the giant wooden bridge is gone, and we may not have no way to cross the Nucang River!"
The power of the elves has extended to the edge of the Whooring Forest, and if the Hammer Tribe wants to survive, it can only cross the Nucang River north, and I believe that the current Elder Munstein will not cling to the obsession of defending his homeland and disregard the lives of the entire clan.
"I'm afraid this is difficult!" Elder Munstan said with a wry smile, "The Nucang River traverses half a continent, and is extremely turbulent in the forest valley, and the narrowest place is more than a mile wide, and we can't cross it even if we have a boat, unless we have to go to a place where the water is gentle hundreds of miles downstream." β
"But it's all the territory of the Terran Kingdom, and it's impossible to allow us Orcs to appear. β
"Let me find a way, I'll go to the river in a few days, I can always find a solution, we can't wait here to die!" Leon said, "But our immediate priority is not to cross the river, but to deal with the threat of the goblin tribe and buy enough time for the final evacuation!"
Neither Elder Munstan nor Rock Hammer objected, the Hammer Tribe had made enough sacrifices to be worthy of the honor of the Beast Clan, and for the sake of the life of the clan, the inheritance of the clan fire, finding a way to evacuate was the only option.
They also knew that the victory in the evening would mean nothing, and that when the goblin army returned again, it would be time for the Hammer Tribe to be wiped out.
Elder Munstein asked, "What do you think, Ray?"
"Fight back!" Leon slammed his fist on the wooden table and said murderously, "The Green Field Goblin Tribe has just suffered a crushing defeat, and their morale must be very low, they would never have thought that we would kill us, this is our best chance to fight back!"
"Also, I heard that there are still many of our orc captives in the goblin tribe, if we don't rescue them in time, I'm afraid they will soon be given to the elves or sold to the human race as slaves, and we can't sit idly by!"
"Okay!" Rock Hammer, who was stimulated by Leon's words, said loudly, "Brother Lei, when are we leaving?"
This bear hammer completely ignored the difference in strength between the two sides, and was only eager to fight.
Elder Munstein, however, was much more sensible, his eyes flashing with worry, and he clearly thought that LΓ©on's proposed counterattack was too risky.
You must know that in addition to hundreds of goblin warriors, the Green Field Tribe also has a goblin knight and two wizards, and the strongest warrior in the Hammer Tribe is only level four, and the fifth-level Leon is also difficult to compete.
"Elder, although the enemy's strength is much greater than ours, if we miss this opportunity, we will be in an even more dangerous situation. Leon understood Elder Munstan's concerns, "I promise, even if I can't destroy the goblin tribe, I will definitely bring back all the warriors as much as possible!"
"We, the orcs, are not afraid of sacrifice!" said Elder Munstan, "Ray, I am sure you will win, but you have to be careful of those two wizards, their curse spells are very powerful, you must destroy them before you attack!"
"I know, I'll be careful!" Leon nodded.
Through the torture of the goblin captain, he basically grasped the situation of the Green Field Goblin Tribe, and the leader Goblin Knight and the two goblin wizards were naturally important to pay attention to.
To deal with them, Leon already had a preliminary plan.
"Tomorrow at noon, Rock Hammer and I will set off with fifty warriors!" he said, "Whether we succeed or not, we will definitely come back the day after tomorrow!"
Fifty warriors was the limit of the strength that the Hammer Tribe could muster, and it was impossible for a single warrior to remain in the camp.
"Rest assured, the camp will be safe without the threat of goblins. Elder Munstan smiled and said, "If I can be ten years younger, I will definitely follow you to fight!"
"Also, when you set out, remember to take Loya with you. β
"Luoya, why did you take her with you?" Rock Hammer looked a little strange.
Leon is also very strange, Luo Ya he knows, is the most beautiful bear girl in the Hammer tribe, only fifteen years old this year, very interesting to Rock Hammer, often follow behind Rock Hammer, deeply loved by Aunt Bear.
"Don't you know?" Elder Munstan glanced kindly at Rock Hammer, "Loya is the shaman I have been cultivating, and she now has the strength of an apprentice, and is able to unleash a healing aura and a war aura to support you. β
"This battle is also a test for her, you must protect her safety. β
"Elder, don't worry, we'll take care of her!" Leon didn't care what Rock Hammer thought, and immediately agreed.
With the shaman following the team, the certainty of victory is one more point, the shaman's spell aura is too useful for tribal warriors, and one aura can increase the combat effectiveness by at least three percent.
Rock Hammer suddenly stopped talking.
"And one last thing..."Elder Munstan looked at Leon, "Ray, Rock Hammer and I both want you to lead our clan!"
"I'm too old to return to the arms of the Beast God at any moment, and I'm too young and immature to take on the responsibilities of the clan. He said sincerely, "Unlike you, you are the best warrior, with a brave spirit and strength, but also a shrewd mind and extraordinary wisdom, and only you can lead the Hammer Tribe out of trouble." β
"I know that the Hammer Tribe is too small, and one day you will leave for the wider world, but before that, I want you to help the Hammer Tribe. β
"This is the only request I, an old shaman, can have from you!"
The gray-haired shaman bent down and saluted Leon.
Rushing to his lips and swallowing back, Leon hurriedly replied: "Elder Munstan, the tribe has saved my life, the people in the tribe are my relatives, I am willing to contribute my own strength to the tribe!"
Originally, Leon had no intention of replacing the position of the Rock Hammer, but now the Hammer Tribe really needs a real leader, and only in this way can all the forces be organized and mobilized to fight back!
"Brother Lei, I believe in you!" Rock Hammer gave Leon a solid punch, and his face was full of sincere joy.
Leon punched him back, and the two laughed.
Such a scene fell into Elder Munstan's eyes, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
