After the thunderous avalanche ended, the south side of the Crest 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 Yinrusk people almost witnessed the whole process of the lightning on the Crest of the World turning from snow white to gray 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 live on the mountain. Even if the orcs on the mountain are wiped out, there are still 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, among the largest settlements in Yinlusk, Lord Laian of Yinrusk 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, Yin Lusk, 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 Yinlusk 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 Laian, 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, 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 Lai'an is thinking too much. After all, the orc tide has survived for so many years. Now that the orc's strength has been greatly weakened, is it still impossible for them to survive?

But Lai'an, as the lord recommended by everyone, can't think too one-sidedly. He turned his gaze to the north, as if he had seen a huge wave of orcs roaring and surging, and said quietly:

"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. 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 Yinlusk, Lai'an 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 Lai'an?"

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

When it comes to asking for help, asylum, etc., Lai'an has no embarrassment at all. 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, but Yin Lusk is actually not as good as a small city-state, not only in terms of population and territory, but also not even a fraction of his strength.

"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 Lai'an finished speaking, one of the leaders began to complain, "Now the autumn harvest will lose a lot! Can you wait a little longer, the weather has not cooled down yet, 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 keep the food?"

As a lord, Lai'an does not have absolute power, but to be elected as a lord by everyone, prestige is still not lacking.

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 follow Lai'an to give it a try.

After all, for the two kinds of misjudgments, the consequences of their own misjudgments are unbearable. In comparison, the consequences of Lai'an'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. Elf magic is more suitable for elves, and Nether magic is more suitable for humans, but the problem is that they are too close to Yin Erfaran and too far away from Netheril!

If you choose to embrace Nether magic in an all-round way, Yin Erfarang does not need to do anything extra before gaining self-preservation strength. As long as the annual orc tide prohibits the Yin Lusk people from entering the Levier Forest, Yin Rusk will be counted if they come down a few times. 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 a Netheril scroll to turn over, what does Yinlusk have?

Regarding this topic, several leaders showed embarrassment, "Lord Lai'an, is Yin Erfarang urging you again?"

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

"As for me~lightnovelpub.net~, 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, Yin Lusk 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 "Yin Erfalang", how much national identity and ethnic 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 Lai'an, who has seen the world, doesn't think so. He knows that Yin Lusk's greatest value lies in his membership in the Northland Alliance.

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