Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 467 Proposals
In the conference room, after Thorne's words set off a buzzing commotion, an odd silence fell over the room.

The lord of Twilight Town, Sarayan, glanced at the quiet Thorn with a complicated expression, and he knocked weakly on the table with the hammer in his hand.

With a crisp sound, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, except the ranger with drooping eyes.

Then, without interruption, he carefully read the content recorded on the sheepskin scroll in one breath, and began to discuss important issues.

"The reason why I called you here in advance, I think everyone was very clear when they came."

Sarayan put his hands on the table and played with the empty beer glass with one hand. Facing the face reflected on the glass, he said in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself:

"Now that the threat of the Emerald Fields has been all but wiped out, it proves that the uncompromising wilderness has finally been conquered.

We now have two options before us.The first one is to gradually explore the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range, expand more territory for us, and obtain more natural resources.What do you think of this proposal? "

After Sarayan finished speaking, he looked around without any opinion, waiting for everyone's answer.

"I think it's a good idea to start exploring the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range, and it can be carried out."

The silence didn't last too long, and the Avatar of Stallman Town answered first. His slender fingers tapped the table lightly and rhythmically, and said to everyone:
"The Great Sword Scar Mountains used to be an insurmountable 'high wall' on the entire Corina Peninsula. It is precisely because of the terrible evil creatures in the mountains that they often wreak havoc that the emerald fields with green pines and cypresses and wild beasts are deserted. .

In the depths of the Great Sword Scar Mountains, there are hill giants stalking among the rugged mountains. On the towering Mount Varnas is the home of frost giants, snow apes, winter wolves, and even white dragons. Gnolls, ogres, bear goblins, trolls who make their home in the mountain mines, and some horrible dark creatures that haunt the dark depths.

We can imagine how many dangers this Fortress Fortress in Falling Dragon Canyon faces.Because of this, it is imperative to explore the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range and take preventive measures. "

After answering, the Avatar bowed slightly very politely, and sat down on the chair again.

The reason why he supports the exploration of the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range is, as he said, to prevent problems before they happen.

But the real reason is that Stallman Town is the closest to the Keepwatch Fortress and even the Great Swordscar Mountain Range.

Although the threat of the mountains has been blocked by the fortress, there are still a few restless evil creatures from beyond the canyon, crossing the mountains and ridges to the Emerald Field.

They are the first to bear the brunt.

For nearly three years, the town of Stallman has suffered as many small-scale ethnic infestations as there have been sunny days in the Emerald Fields.

On the downside, when the Watcher Fortress fell, the town of Stallman was the first to face the crisis.

Therefore, he didn't want to bet this uncertainty on the fact that the fortress would never fall.

Exploring the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range means that the entire alliance's power will be concentrated on the edge of the mountain range, and then take the initiative to launch an attack to clean up all the threatening evil tribes around.

If not, as it is now, since the establishment of the fortress, it has always been in a state of passive defense.

"That's right." Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town, saw that Avatar had finished speaking, and he didn't care about the conflict over the territory dispute between the two just now, so he chose to stand up and chime in:

"Your Excellency Avatar is right. In fact, what we are facing is not only the original danger of the mountains, but also more deadly hidden dangers hiding in the dark, threatening our safety at all times."

Helm made a fool of himself on purpose, and after noticing that most people's eyes were attracted with his solemn eyes, he continued:
"This threat is the gnolls and the hill giants. Although when the Fortress Fort was established, these evil humanoid tribes suffered heavy losses due to the failure of the attack, and have never recovered from it.

But everyone must not forget one thing, the Gnoll in the Great Swordscar Mountains is the demon lord who believes in the 422nd floor of the Abyss, the 'King of the Gnoll Yenogu'.Ever since we were set in the Emerald Fields, the struggle against the gnolls has never stopped.

At the same time, there are also the defeated remnants of the hobgoblins of Hruk who fled into the depths of the mountains. As time goes by, I believe that these evil tribes that have not been wiped out will definitely develop and grow with the help of the race gods, and then launch a new wave. Crazy battles of revenge.

I think you should be very clear about one thing, our hatred with the hobgoblins will never end unless one of them is completely destroyed. "

After Helm finished expressing his opinion, he sat down in his seat again.

Most people started whispering about what the two speakers really meant.

Thorne also showed a thoughtful look at this time.

However, he soon wanted to understand the real reason why the two lords were so in favor of this proposal.

So he glanced at Carlos next to him, and began to wonder what reason the other party would use to refute this proposal.

"I object!"

As expected by Thorne, the buzzing discussion was interrupted by the sonorous voice of Carlos from Fallstown.

He stood up slowly, met everyone's gaze, cleared his throat seriously, and confirmed to everyone:
"Our Watcher's Fortress is located in Falling Dragon Canyon, next to the edge of the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range. The best shortcut to the mountain range is through the two forests of Mirk Forest and Deep Sky Curtain. I'm right."

Most people nodded subconsciously, and a few people showed a look that you said this is not nonsense.

"Get to the point." Sarayang obviously knew the other party's style of speaking, so he tapped the hammer and reminded.

Carlos smiled slightly, and continued: "Although you all know that these two forests are adjacent to the fortress, you don't know what dangers are hidden in the depths of the forest, because no one has explored the deepest part of the forest."

His words stopped on purpose, and he was silent for a moment. When everyone was a little impatient, he opened his mouth and said:

"It seems that most of the people here really don't know that these two jungles are the most deadly and dangerous places in the entire mountain range, so let me tell you in detail.

The environment there is unbearably hot and humid. The roadless jungle is home to all kinds of evil insects and snake-human groups. Every cluster of bushes and vines is enough to strangle and kill. There could be hundreds of scaled, clawed, fangled monsters lurking.

Giant sun-avoiding spiders, army ants, ferocious spiders, scavengers, and even purple insects hang upside down on vines under trees hundreds of meters high, in the endless darkness where mushrooms and sunlight can never shine crawling and scurrying, in..."

"So, you have already sent people to explore those places in advance?" Sarayan interrupted Carlos, who depicted the jungle so vividly that he seemed to be there.

"That's right." The words were interrupted, but Carlos didn't care. He smiled slightly at Sarajan, and then nodded slightly.

"In other words, you mean that it is not recommended to explore the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range." Sarayan asked the other party for his opinion while looking at the empty wine glass beside him.

It's a pity that Hollatt is sitting next to him. Compared with Thorne, he is more inconspicuous, and it is impossible to expect him to be refilled with a new glass of bubbling beer.

"It's not that I don't recommend it. The real reason is that with our current strength, it's not the best time to explore the mountains. If you want to bypass these two jungles, you're too far away from the fortress. In short, march into the mountains now, It’s a bit of a loss.”

After Carlos explained to Sarayan, he sat down in his seat and said nothing.

"Then what should we do if we wait until the gnolls and hobgoblins grow up?" A bearded wind knight in Iron Horse Town looked at Carlos.

"What else can I do, of course it's defense." Carlos shrugged and smiled.

"We have a fortress with a dangerous terrain, and there is also a temple of wisdom with great growth potential in the fortress. If even these enemies can't resist, then we deserve to perish here. It's better to reopen as soon as possible."

Carlos put his arm on the table, while fiddling with the ruby ​​ring on his finger, he smiled and said:
"Besides, it is impossible for hobgoblins and gnolls to set off huge waves in a short period of time. I have to say that this is definitely the time Godslayer deliberately left for us to develop.

Naturally, we can't waste this opportunity in vain. The first thing we need to consider now is to transform the resources of the Emerald Field into strength instead of meaninglessly expanding externally. "

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the landscape painting on the wall and the inscription of Master Deadwood, glanced around, and said in a meaningful tone:
"If my predictions are correct, in the Battle of the Conferred Gods three years ago, all participants obtained at least one background specialty and a little reputation. Each of your towns must also be cultivating some elite players with great potential, right? .”

When everyone heard the words, there was an unnatural smile on their faces.

Obviously, the other party's guess was very correct.

This includes Thorne not contradicting his words in his heart.

Not only are the lords secretly cultivating elite fighters, so is his Emerald Tower.

In fact, there is nothing to hide, everyone knows it well, it is nothing more than a hidden hole card.

Their methods are surprisingly consistent.

That is, it is better to let these people with good potential improve slowly, but also to keep the advanced tasks to the highest degree of completion.

After all, with the end of the Battle of the Conferred Gods, many people who have never advanced to the Transcendent level have satisfied the most difficult background specialty in the perfect advancement.

This also means that as long as these people meet other relatively simple conditions, many perfect and extraordinary players will be mass-produced.

Then, select people with full potential from these groups and focus on training them.

In the future, this is definitely an elite that cannot be ignored.

Carlos was not surprised. He smiled and said confidently: "If that's the case, why don't we use the periphery of the fortress as a leveling point for elite players to develop and sharpen their combat skills, but we want to Let it fall into an endless struggle."

"Carlos is right. I agree to temporarily give up exploring the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range." As soon as the words fell, Sarayang nodded without thinking.

It can be seen from the resolute expression that this guy has already made up his mind, but he is not in a hurry to express his position.

On the other side, Gust from Yuanshan Town hastily elbowed Garrod next to him.

The drowsy lord of Yuanshan Town shook his head, exchanged a glance with his friend, and immediately seconded the proposal: "I also agree to give up the proposal to explore the mountains."

People in Iron Horse Town and Stallman Town began to hesitate.

What the other party said was very reasonable. If they were asked to give up this plan, it would definitely affect their small town the most.

And there is one more critical point, if this proposal is cancelled, the next plan to build the city will be mentioned.

"Now is indeed not the time to explore the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range." Thorn pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly.

He deliberately glanced at Avatar in Stallman Town and Helm in Iron Horse Town, and continued:
"As for your worries about the safety of the fortress, I don't think it's necessary at all. I won't say much about how strong the west city wall of the fortress is. Everyone sitting here should know better than me as the nominal regiment leader."

When Thorn finished his last sentence without blushing and heartbeat, most people rolled their eyes, especially the three deputy leaders of the Golden Thorn Rose Knights.

However, he didn't care, and still said calmly:

"As for the Temple of Wisdom, when it was built at a huge cost, I think you have already expected that the construction standard of this temple is higher than that of the Wizard Tower in Fallstown.

But what you don't know is that from the moment the temple is actually completed, its energy force field and influence can almost cover the entire Emerald Field and protect us all. "

"Is this true?" A look of surprise flashed in Avatar's golden eyes.

Others also looked at this calm and calm ranger as always.

"That's right." Thorn nodded slightly, which reassured the Asmo player a lot.

"But in my opinion, only the building part and the overall outline of the temple should be completed." Helm of Iron Horse Town frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said:
"As for the vital magic guides, protective spells, rune engravings, attack methods, etc. of the temple, Mr. Thorne, I'm afraid this has never been started."

Iron Horse Town itself has the largest number of wizards in the wilderness territory. As a lord, as long as he observes carefully, he can still see the progress of the temple.

"Since you have all mentioned this issue, as the main person in charge of building the temple, I have to mention it." Thorne said flatly:
"The resources spent on the establishment of the temple come from the full support of all of us, but with the improvement of the completion of the temple, the fees paid by each town on time seem to be a bit stretched, only enough for maintenance and daily consumption, what else to talk about further improvement."
