Son of the Olden Days

"Ah! This is... a cat?" Kletty, who was walking beside Sol, suddenly screamed in surprise, interrupting everyone's solemn thoughts.

Sol followed Kretie's gaze to his hand, and saw Umel poking his small head. In order to eavesdrop on that white neck was about to be stretched, and that furry cat's ears were still moving. It is no wonder Klett. Di would recognize her as a cat's head at first glance.

Essen brought his cronies in his territory to greet Saul and others. At this moment, a group of people were busy rushing to the wilderness, and no one noticed when the team got into the outsiders. Umel and the others came from the teleportation formation, but they actually got there with Thor and the others.

"Where is the wild cat that sprang out?" Saul raised his hand a little amused. He wanted to punch the little head, but when he dropped his hand, he just rubbed it smoothly. Turning his head and looking to the side of the team, Prince Gabon and a few orcs were indeed there.

"I'm not a cat! I'm an orc! The princess of the orc race!" Umel pressed his head and straightened up and emphasized in shame.

"Oh~" Saul let out a perfunctory cock, angering Umel.

"Why do you still have orcs in your territory?" Aresa turned her head and asked Essen. At first, in order to win over Sol, or to let the Holy See enter the Freedom City to preach, Aresa even went to Bruno. The territory invites Sol to be a guest.

Later, Thor brought a large group of people with the old goblin and his own shiitake mushrooms, and then reunited with Kretie at that dance party.

"Orcs...no?" Essen answered the question with a suspicious expression after thinking about it.

Saul smiled and introduced each other to everyone around him. Although the matter of entrapment of the orc population has not yet been achieved, the basic etiquette on the bright side still needs to be maintained. And Saul believes that soon there will be more labor in the Free City.

"That orc by the swamp to the west?" Essen responded and asked.

"Yeah, you know them?" Sol nodded.

"I heard that the orcs come to you to borrow food? Then you..." Essen hesitated to speak.

"No, they want to buy with coins, but you know, nowadays, in addition to the food itself, there are only demons and talents on the mainland that have exchange value. Since they can't get it out, I can't give it up. Send it." Saul explained casually.

Essen nodded silently, but his heart was extremely heavy. It seems that the mainland environment is becoming more and more difficult to mix. Even the orcs, who have almost never had a relationship with humans, are now beginning to wipe their faces to ask humans to borrow food. Will their own territories have also come to that point?

Essen is already catching the importance of food, but it is too late for the demon soul. The door of the secret realm would not be opened, and the growth of the Territory Spirit Eliminators was severely restricted by the population and demons. No matter how vast the thoughts and determinations were, they could only wait quietly and helplessly.

The point is that even as one of the territories that constitute the three-place alliance, Essen cannot ask for free support from allies. You may be able to ask for it once or twice, but when your territory is always short of food, how should you speak, and what bargaining chip do you have?

In fact, when Sol first proposed the three-place alliance, Essen had already thought through all aspects. Choosing to stand in a team to join the minor league is to achieve mutual assistance from a distance, but to pave the way for future refuge in the distance, which can be regarded as a way of retreat.

After all, the situation on the mainland is already obvious. Since one's own territory cannot be carried, no matter how reluctant to give up this lord right in his hand, he can only let go, give up the territory and move the population to a larger and safer place, such as the northern border The main city of Allantis.

If Sol had never raised the suggestion of the Minor League, Essen may have been preparing for the relocation of the people, and the main city is naturally the only choice. But precisely because of Sol's suggestion, Essen suddenly had another choice, which was to seek refuge in the Free City.

It is not difficult to see Sol’s ultimate goal from Essen’s vision, but it is not appropriate to say that Sol seeks to seize his own territory, because the current situation is such that manpower is hard to stop. So between the two options of taking refuge in Allantis and the Free City, Essen chose the latter.

The reason is simple. Once the turmoil on the mainland arrives, the population of all parts of the northern border will definitely be crowded into Allantis. As a small lord of the frontier, it is a question of whether the leader can squeeze in and be accepted. After all, Allantis has a limited acceptance rate no matter how big it is.

And there is no direct transmission to the main city, it is estimated that a lot of people will die on this side of the road. In fact, even with teleportation, Essen could not afford the cost of teleportation for thousands of people in his territory. Unless Essen abandons the territory and population, and flees to the main city with his family.

Judging from the information obtained by Essen, it is not that there are no lords around him doing this, and there are quite a few. Many territories have become disorderly places without a lord. The lord and his family fled to the main city, leaving the population there to fend for themselves.

Another reason is that he, a borderland lord with no reputation and background, may be considered a personal character on the ground of his own home.

But once you go to the main city of Allantis, who knows which mushroom you are? Even if the big family that used to work is willing to accept themselves, it is estimated that they will be completely ignored and ignored in the future. It is very difficult to protect the family, so don't mention any family name for the rest of your life.

Instead of going to Allantis and being rejected by others, it is better to play with Sol. The City of Liberty is so close to the territory of Bruno, and if you take refuge in the past, Sol can at least protect the safety of his subordinates, and it is not in vain for them to be his own.

And Essen has observed Sol's mind and the environment of the Free City, and he should have had a managerial position in the past.

The reason why I haven't mentioned the refuge is that on the one hand, there is a little bit of face, and on the other hand, the right of the lord in his hand is always a little bit reluctant to give away for nothing. In addition, Essen also wanted to wait a little longer to see if the situation on the mainland would improve.

Who knew that he didn't wait for improvement, but he waited for evil spirits. This kind of thing can't really be shaken by force and a large number of people, and the idea of ​​taking refuge in the city of freedom can't help but come to mind. Essen didn't know what Lord Triston thought, but he had already decided in his heart.

"Now the world is getting more and more difficult, I can't as well find a time... I will lead the people to the Free City, right?" Essen said a bit difficult and vague, on the one hand because of the embarrassment of taking the initiative to hand over power, on the other hand, worry What if others don't accept these burdens?

Saul turned his head and glanced at Essen. He thought that Essen would resist for a while, but he didn't think of an evil spirit so he made a decision. This is not Essen's weakness, at least for now, there are really not many territories that can eat evil spirits on this continent.

In addition to the three major cities of Odrensa, Allantis, and Byron Bian in the north and south, other large and medium-sized cities like Pandor and Asokelan are also possible. As for other small territories, in the end, either the migrants will flee or they will be resigned to their fate.

As for Essen did not stand in Allantis, but chose to play with Freedom City, Sol can probably guess why.

Allantis has a population of at least several hundred thousand, and most of the people from the north fled there. It is estimated that the entire main city will be overwhelmed.

Even if there is enough space for resettlement, food alone can drag them to death. Coupled with the problems of epidemics and management chaos caused by dense population, it is conceivable that you can live without fleeing to the main city. After all, only a few privileged classes can live.

When this wave of black clouds rolls over, it is hard to say whether mankind will be extinct, but it is undoubtedly certain that many people will die. It is precisely because of the imminent nightmare that Thor will unite all the surrounding forces that can be united to warm up, even if it is an alien.

So although Essen came here early at this point in time, it is still a good thing, at least the population hasn't hurt.

"Did you think about it? The city of Freedom is still shaking, not because of its strength, but because I have already hated the three major cities of the mainland, and I want to take refuge in others, but you really decided to stand over? Understandable, Saul didn't go around the topic either.

"Think about it, let's advance and retreat together. If there is a place where you can work, please speak frankly." After a short hesitation passed, Essen finally nodded firmly, and at the same time put aside the meaningless lord identity, let go Up his own posture.

"Then when are you going to come?" Sol asked.

"Now in midsummer, I hope I can have some time to survive the autumn harvest. Don't waste the last batch of food in the territory." Essen looked in a certain direction, his eyes were a little sad. In the beginning of the spring this year, he encouraged the people to plow in spring, but he couldn't think of the situation. It collapsed so fast.

"Okay, then you will work harder on your side. Remember, there is everything when you are alive. If you encounter any sudden danger, you can decisively evacuate from the teleportation array if you don't have time to ask for help. We are waiting for you in the City of Freedom, and I will let it in advance Erect the resettlement building over there."

"I'll talk about specific things when you come here. In the future, I will let Lord Braun set up a small territory council. You must have a place, but you will be very busy in the future. From now on... everyone will be your own." El patted Essen on the shoulder.

Sol didn't disclose his new city plan and the maze, and there were still variables after the matter did not reach the end. If Essen suddenly has a new idea, Saul doesn't really care too much, it's just that he will work harder when gathering scattered people in the future.

Hearing Saul's words, Essen nodded solemnly, less worrying about the situation and more looking forward to the future.

"Then if the orcs came to take refuge, would you accept it?" Essen asked again after thinking about it.

"Since I am my own person, I don't need to use honorifics anymore. I can't talk about acceptance. In fact, I want to pit the people of their clan and help the City of Freedom to work." Sol Wei smiled and said He turned his head and looked at Umel, who was walking behind him.

Seeing Saul looked back, Umel gave him a vicious look with his hand in his arms.

Before seeing two men walking in front of her to talk, she wanted to squeeze up to eavesdrop, and then was beaten on the head by Sol and could only shrink back. Seeing Thor now, Umel suspected that Thor might be speaking badly about himself and the orcs, but there was no evidence.
