Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1793 Negotiate to evacuate the sorrow of the weak
After the thunderous avalanche ended, the south side of the Spine of the World fell silent for an instant, but the wailing, crying, and cursing that followed one after another became the main theme that was difficult to calm down.

And further south, south of the Milar River, the Irusk people almost witnessed the entire process of the lightning on the Spine of the World turning from white to gray and black.

Even the most ignorant person knows what happened. Looking at it from a distance, the white snow that was originally only on the upper half of the mountain range now reaches the lower half of the mountain range.

Some people began to cheer that their mortal enemy, the orcs, had been condemned by the gods, but more rational people knew that such natural disasters alone would not be able to completely wipe out the orc tribes.

Not to mention, not all the orcs lived on the mountain. Even if the orcs on the mountain were wiped out, there would still be a large number of orcs in the hills below.

Without the restraint of the big tribe above, this year's orc wave may be even more difficult to survive!
At the confluence of the Milar River and the Western Ice Ocean, in the largest settlement of Irusk, Lord Lean of Irusk summoned the leaders of other large settlements almost non-stop after receiving reports from his subordinates.

"Everyone, it's a bad thing. You must have seen the natural disaster just now. In the long run, this is a good thing for us in Ilusk, but the problem is that we are too weak, and I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy the benefits!"

The major settlements in Irusk are only a few miles away. On the way here, the leaders have already discussed with their subordinates the countermeasures at this time.

In their view, after this natural disaster, the orcs suffered heavy losses, so they should not continue to launch the orc wave.

After all, the orc wave in the past was entirely due to too many orcs. Now that so many have died, the food has not decreased, and there may even be more. How can there be any reason to continue to launch the orc wave?
"Lord Lean, you are thinking too much. I just experienced such a terrible disaster. I think the orcs should be worried that the elves from the south will go to sweep them up, rather than worrying about them crossing the Milar River."

"Yes, even if they do come over, we can retreat into the Levi Forest and rely on the elf magic in the forest to defend and counterattack."

What the leaders say is that Ryan is thinking too much. After all, the orcs have survived the tide of orcs in the past. Now that the strength of the orcs has been greatly weakened, can they still not survive?
However, as the lord recommended by everyone, Ryan couldn't think too one-sidedly. He turned his gaze to the north, as if he had seen the roaring and surging tide of orcs, and said faintly:
"What if the orcs really come? If we evacuate at that time, a large number of people will definitely be left behind. This is the responsibility that our leaders need to bear.

"In addition, there is too much movement in the north this time, and it is difficult for the elves in the south to have any ideas. Will they let us retreat into the Levi Forest?

"Is it possible for us to be their cannon fodder and help them withstand the frontal impact of the orcs?"

As the lord recommended by the major settlements in Ilusk, Ryan has also seen the world. He doesn't think elves are any nobler than them, but because they have more, desires, and evil thoughts!
"We can no longer use the experience of going to the orc tide to infer this year's unexpected situation!"

"Then what is the plan of Lord Lean?"

"First of all, of course, ask for help. Ask for help from the Northland Alliance, Ilfaran, and even Netheril in the east. We are weak, and naturally we should be sheltered."

When it comes to asking for help, shelter, etc., Ryan is not at all embarrassed. Surviving in such a world is already very difficult. If you still want face, isn't it even more difficult?
Such things as face can only be possessed by those big countries, and Ilusk is actually not as good as a small city-state, not only in terms of population and territory, but also in strength that is not even a fraction of others.

"Secondly, immediately organize the people to carry out the autumn harvest. They must evacuate to the south within two days at the latest. They may not enter the Levi Forest temporarily, but they must be prepared to enter at any time."

After Ryan finished speaking, one of the leaders began to complain, "There will be a lot of losses in the autumn harvest now! Can you wait a little longer, now that the weather has not cooled down, even if the orcs really want to come, they will not come so soon!"

"I know there will be some food losses, but we can't bear the risk of mass death of the people. If the orcs really come, can you still keep the food?"

As a lord, Ryan does not have power in an absolute sense, but he still has a lot of prestige to be publicly elected as a lord.

At this moment, he insisted repeatedly and claimed to be responsible for all possible consequences. Although the other leaders were still a little reluctant, they were willing to try with Ryan.

After all, for the two kinds of misjudgments, the consequences of their own misjudgments are unbearable. In comparison, the consequences of Ryan's misjudgments are much smaller.

"By the way, regarding the choice of magic, we must decide as soon as possible, whether to choose elf magic or Nether magic."

The topic was changed, but the sadness on everyone's faces did not disappear at all. Elven magic is more suitable for elves, and Netherian magic is more suitable for humans, but the problem is that they are too close to Ilfaran and too far away from Netheril!
If you choose to embrace Nether magic in an all-round way, Irfaran does not need to do anything extra before gaining self-protection strength. As long as the annual orc tide prohibits the Irusk people from entering the Livier Forest, if they come down a few times, Irusk will be counted. If the group is destroyed, the loss will be heavy.

But if one chooses elven magic, it is just like Netheril in the early days, becoming an alternative vassal of the elves. Although it is still the case now, who hasn't had any expectations of true independence!
But Netheril has Netheril scrolls to turn over, what does Ilusk have?

Regarding this topic, several leaders showed embarrassment, "Lord Lean, is it that Irfaran is urging you again?"

"It's not a reminder, but we don't have much time to hesitate."

"As for me, we might as well merge into Netheril. Anyway, they are opening up new lands, so there is no need to worry about occupying their original territories."

Indeed, it is not only a few people who have this kind of thinking. After someone spoke their minds, several leaders showed their hearts.

In fact, Ilusk is just a country that has been forcibly kneaded together. If they are allowed to develop on their own, they may also form a union, but they will not be as efficient as they are now.

After all, even the name of the country was created by imitating "Irfaran", how much national identity and national identity can the people have?

Being able to join a powerful human kingdom is naturally a great thing they can only dream of.

It's just that Ryan, who has seen the world, doesn't think so. He knows that the greatest value of Ilusk lies in its membership in the Northern Alliance.

If this is lost, the Irusk people may be no different from the barbarians in the wilderness in the eyes of the elves and even the Nethers.
