What Atwood said next caused a great shock to Lyon, even after the elves had eaten the rat man''s heart raw. It''s hard to imagine that a spirit who has never stepped out of the forest can infer the situation of the grey lion just by relying on the information from a mouse man. Although Lyon still tried to gain some face for the human kingdom in front of these old neighbors, what green stick said made him not know how to refute it.
"If I''m right, it''s hard to say that there''s absolutely no safe place for Cang lions except those big cities, right?" The old elf sat down on the edge of the pond and said to the knight.
"I don''t think so. There are only less than five territories in the confirmed epidemic area, and there are also plural lords in the kingdom that are not in their own territory..."
"How can they confirm that they have not paid back?" Atwood interrupted Lyon and said with a smile, "what do your nobles do, I don''t think I need to tell you? If the rat people don''t start to attack the town, I''m afraid the Lords won''t care about the loss reports in the remote areas, will they? And those places are the best bridgehead for rat people
The fairy''s words made the blood lion speechless. In fact, his heart was very clear that there might not be an absolutely safe place in the whole territory of the Cang Lion Kingdom. From the moment the blockade of the Earl of saloon failed, the spread of the rat man had become difficult to contain. Lyon was unwilling to clench his fist and felt remorse for his inability to defend the country.
"But you don''t need to be so pessimistic, Mr. knight. At present, the grey lion has not yet reached the stage of serious illness and is hard to return. If I guess right, at least under the shelter of those large and medium-sized cities, human beings still have enough strength to rival rat man. " Green stick noticed the change in Lyon''s mood and said in a voice.
But in the face of each other''s comfort, the Knight Commander did not appreciate, he shook his head, his face is not good-looking.
"Now that you have such a clear inference. Then I have nothing to hide. Indeed, the Kingdom''s current military strength can completely eliminate these rat people. But there is a premise. "
"I see. No matter how sharp the sword is, it can''t break the water, can it?" The old elf nodded, and he understood what Lyon meant. If we want to wipe out the rat man with the army, the premise is that the rat people will gather their fighting power together like human beings, and fight head-on with the army of the grey lion. However, this is obviously impossible. These rat people are just like real mice. Unless they have absolute advantages, they will never confront human beings.
"Yes. We originally intended to limit the range of activities of rat people, so that after eating the food within the range of activities, the number of mice will inevitably decline. As long as they don''t take the initiative to infect the plague, they will not be able to produce new species because of their hunger and thirst. In this way, the plague will soon subside. " Lyon said it was also his idea after cheese had finished the initial suppression of the plague.
"But at a time when you think the population of rat people will decline, they will start to breed on their own, right?" Although Atwood had never seen a bad rat man, from the structure of the dead rat man, the old elf knew that they were fertile.
"The existence of the so-called bad rat man, when it first appeared, was like a locust. It''s hard to imagine how these rat people could have produced such a large number of offspring in just a few days The knight nodded. He remembered the feeling of powerlessness when he first faced the tide of rat man. It''s a nightmare experience for knights who have been trained for more than ten years to die in humiliation under the siege of these monsters born less than ten days.
"Reproduction is the instinct of all living things. All creatures recognized by the world have a chance to give birth to their own offspring, but these Rat man is different. They give birth not to offspring, but to weapons. " "They are not recognized races, at least not yet."
"It sounds like as long as these ugly things give birth to generations as ugly as they are, they can become the same beings as us." Barkm listened to his tutor''s words and kicked the corpse of rat man bored.
"Civilization has nothing to do with the independence of a species. Cavemen are stupid, but no one can say that they are not creatures, can they? " The elder elf admonished his disciples, "don''t neglect the essence because of appearance, bakm."
The reproached young spirit walked to one side and didn''t know what to do. To bakm, the teacher''s words were often unreasonable.
"To return to the point, Mr. Lyon, it is not just your troubles that you have suffered. With the adaptability of these rodents, they will certainly spread around after completely subverting the grey lion, and we will never be safe and sound at that time. " "So I think I have to bring this body back to our community and tell the other people about it. Given the years of peace between us and you, perhaps I can persuade them to help mankind. ""Thank you for your generosity, elder. I know it''s not that easy to help people who have been at war. " Hearing that the other side intended to persuade the elves to help Cangshi, the Knight Commander could not help but be moved. Lyon was not afraid that it would lead the wolf into the house. The elves had no interest in the land reclaimed by human beings. They did not like the bare land.
"Roar, don''t be in such a hurry. Thank you. My poor old man''s words don''t work that well." The green stick rose slowly and continued, "you are going back to your kingdom, aren''t you?"
"Yes, if I can, I hope to leave immediately." The knight owed slightly. Although he knew that he could not change the situation alone, he was still eager to return to Cangshi to join the battle.
"Well Very reasonable request. I think buckram agreed to take you out of the forest, or you wouldn''t have agreed to go with him The old elf turned his head and looked at the disciple who was practicing knife skill with a tree as a target nearby. "I have a small request. You can understand it as a reward for persuading the people."
Lyon was stunned for a moment. He didn''t know what ARTWOOD wanted in his body, but it didn''t stop the knight from listening.
"Don''t be afraid. It''s not that much, maybe a little too much. Well, anyway, I hope you can get bakm to come back with you and join the war. What do you think of it as your mercenary? "
