Chapter 175 Dispute
During this period of time, the nobles in Rock Snow City have been debating many times on how to deal with the crisis hidden in the Great Swamp of Gaigu, but they have been unable to reach a consensus.
Marquis Cullen, who is the only one with the power to make decisions, happens to be away from the city at this juncture. Although his eldest son David has always been regarded by the outside world as the next successor of the Figuerola family, he is not the real master of the West after all.
Even though David himself was inclined to send troops, some people in the Ho family and other nobles in the Western Region were not interested.
So David invited representatives from each family to Yanxue City to discuss how to deal with the crisis that may arise next.
As the head of the Arias family, Ilea personally came from Green Field to participate in this important meeting.
Unfortunately, the meeting was scheduled for a day when Li Yu was not around, so he was unable to attend.
However, Ilea was well prepared. Not only did she borrow a sacred instrument that could play the video from Li Yu, but she also brought along Juan, who had faced the black dragon directly. It fully illustrates how terrifying that dragon is.
The girl's careful preparation also brought quite shocking effects.
The representatives of the families watched the video played on the tablet with their mouths open almost the entire time, and some even had their jaws dislocated in shock.
Especially Hers, who had previously claimed that the photo was just a imaginary drawing by Li Yu, was stunned and speechless on the spot.
However, she was shocked. Once the topic of sending troops came up, the girl found that everyone was silent again and looked embarrassed.
In the end, the representative of the Popo family was more straightforward and said bluntly, "If the territory of the Arias family is being attacked by a giant dragon, and we are also Western nobles, we will naturally be willing to lend a helping hand, but now according to your statement, that giant dragon The dragon is still in the Gaigu Swamp and has not come out to cause trouble
"In fact, the reason why the Arias family suffered casualties in the previous two times was entirely because your people went deep into the swamp. If you are really worried about the damage it may cause, the most important thing to do is to stay away from that place as much as possible. A swamp.”
"Sir Fabrice, I need to remind you that the Great Swamp of Gaigu is also in my territory. It is part of my territory and does not belong to the black dragon. You say this as if I provoked it first. ." The female lord frowned.
"Although that swamp is on the territory of the Arias family, I believe everyone sitting here knows exactly what the situation is. It is impossible to grow crops there and it is not suitable for living." Another family representative said, "So I think Sir Fabrice is right. Miss Ilea, you can consider taking a step back and not entering that swamp.”
"Even if I am willing to step back and never enter that swamp again, I'm afraid that dragon won't give up." The girl explained patiently, "Its growth rate is very fast, and its corresponding food intake is also amazing, and the products in the swamp are is limited.
"Those lizard men had already looted a lot when they left, and do you need me to remind you again that winter will be here in two months!
"It will become more difficult to find food in the wild after winter, and it will definitely not starve in the swamp."
"Maybe when winter comes, it will hibernate like a bear." Another person said.
"So we have to pin the safety of the Western Region on the favor of the God of Fate?" Ferdinand, the head of the Bathory family, said at this time.
"Sending troops to deal with that dragon is just a matter of luck." A representative of the Emmanuel family also joined the discussion. "If what Miss Ilea said is true, and the dragon is really that powerful, then the least we can do to deal with it is Tens of thousands of troops will be dispatched.
"Considering the special terrain of the Gaigu Great Swamp, the army cannot deploy inside it at all, so the decisive battle can only be held outside the swamp, which means we must wait outside for the dragon to come out.
"When an army of tens of thousands of people is assembled, it will cost a lot more money every day. And the most important thing is that the dragon can fly. If it sees that the situation is not good and flies away directly, wouldn't it mean that there are so many of us? The wait was in vain.”
"Well, your concerns are reasonable." David also frowned upon hearing this.
But soon he heard Ilea say again, "Merlin said he could solve this problem."
"Who?" someone asked again.
"Merlin, he is the prophet of Shuangxiu Cult and the spokesperson of Saturday in the world. The image you just saw was recorded with his sacred instrument."
"That method is indeed magical, but the people in this land are all believers of the Silver Moon Church. Miss Ilea, if I remember correctly, you also believe in the goddess Picia." Fabrice said .
"Uh..."
"So you are here to preach how powerful the so-called prophet in another sect is. Isn't it inappropriate?"
"If the Silver Moon Church has a way to deal with that dragon, I don't mind bragging about the Silver Moon Church instead." Miss Rabbit was patient, but not much. By now, she had been worn down almost, and she said angrily.
"This is a test given to you by the goddess. Are you questioning her arrangements for you?"
"I didn't question the goddess's arrangements, I just wanted to trouble her as little as possible. In addition, I sincerely wish Sir Fabrice that you will receive the test from the goddess every day in the future."
"…………"
"Okay." Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, David, who was sitting in the main seat, came out to smooth things over. "It's urgent, and I have heard the name of the prophet Merlin.
"He has personally demonstrated miracles here before, and he helped Silver Moon Church find the black sheep hiding in the church some time ago. He also recorded this video, which shows that he is indeed a person with real abilities. He is always willing to help. A good thing.”
"Of course your worries are justified," David looked at the representative of the Emmanuel family, "but Blackstone City is right next to Teacup Castle. When the dragon really comes out of the swamp, it's hard to say who will suffer next. It’s probably Black Rock City next door.”
The representatives of the Emmanuel family also became a little ugly when they heard this.
David looked at Fabrice again, "If I remember correctly, the distance between the Popo family's territory and the green field is not too far, and there are large tracts of forest farms on your family's territory. If that dragon is in Put a fire inside..."
Fabrice remained silent.
David looked around and his expression became serious, "This is not just a matter of the Arias family, it is related to the safety of the entire Western Region. If the monster in the swamp is really a dragon, with its flying With such speed, you can fly from Green Field to any corner of the Western Territory. By then, no place in the Western Territory will be safe.”
Sorry, it’s a little lame, it’s just one chapter today.
