"We stay."
Finally, He Wen said this.
Elder Huck looked at He Wen in surprise and asked.
"Professor! Didn't you just say..."
Hal also raised his head and stared at He Wen with slight surprise.
"Professor... didn't you say that if you stay, you will die?"
He Wen nodded.
"Standing in the forest is indeed a dead end." He Wen's voice was not loud, but it was full of power, causing ripples in everyone's hearts like a giant wave. "But what I mean by staying is to use Wasata Forest as a base and then continue to expand outwards."
His words shocked everyone. They never thought of leaving the forest, let alone expanding.
But He Wen's words made them see another possibility, one full of challenges and opportunities.
Eve looked at He Wen, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. "He Wen, do you... do you want to..."
He Wen nodded again. His eyes looked a little tired, but he still managed to cheer up and speak.
"As I just said, all the towns in Yarnan County are fortified around the Wasata Forest. If we can expand outward and break their defenses, then we may gain a larger living space and more resource."
He Wen pointed to several cities in Arnan County on the map and said.
"Furthermore, Arnan County is surrounded by mountains. Only the Kachina Mountains in the northeast can ensure the entry of the army. As long as we occupy the town of Suymara in the northeast, we will control the entrance and exit of Arnan County."
"That is to say..."
Harudo walked to He Wen, looked at the map and said.
"By then, the entire Arnan County will become our territory?"
He Wen nodded.
But Eve slapped the map.
"This is impossible! He Wen, what you are doing now is undoubtedly trying to tear a hole in the heart of the Kingdom of Taris. Do you know what this means?!"
He Wen nodded.
"This means we will be locked in an endless battle for territory."
"Yes, even if you have those... monsters, or rather..."
"Demon soldier." He Wen corrected calmly.
"Even with the magic soldiers, it is absolutely impossible for us to capture any town outside of Wasata Forest. Arnan County's defense deployment is tight, and any city that is attacked will trigger a chain reaction."
"However," He Wen said, "if we can find a breakthrough, we may be able to break this balance."
"Breakthrough?" the other party asked doubtfully.
He Wen's finger pointed somewhere.
After seeing that location, everyone understood He Wen's intention.
That is the largest town in Arnan County, and it is also the town where Eric Darren is stationed, Sancre Town.
"There are almost no soldiers stationed in Sancre Town, only the South County Crusaders. Now that Eric Darren is dead, Sancre Town will be in an unprecedented weak state. This will be our best chance to capture him."
Eve stopped talking. She looked at He Wen, trying to find a hint of joking intention in his eyes.
But it's a pity that although He Wen was very tired and even his eyes were a little bloodshot, every word he said was serious.
"you......"
Finally, Eve sighed silently, turned and walked out of the room.
The rest of the orcs were originally excited by He Wen's words, but now Eve's sudden departure made them feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"The little princess still hasn't given up her dignity as a human princess."
Hal said with a sneer.
He Wen raised his hand to stop Hal from continuing.
"She is a human being. She has received human education since she was a child. If she could be said to be helping you in your self-defense war before, now we are talking about an invasion, a racial invasion. I would like to ask everyone, if Eve finally decides If you don’t participate in this war, you don’t have to criticize her harshly.”
Hearing He Wen say this, Hal felt a little embarrassed.
She scratched her head and quickly lowered her head and said to He Wen.
"Sorry! Professor, I, I didn't mean to criticize your friend...and Eve has also helped us a lot, so...whether she is willing to help us or not, she will be an orc, at least It’s my Hal forever…”
I originally wanted to say friends, but I didn't think it was appropriate, so Hal changed his words.
"A human being recognized by me, Hal."
The rest of the orcs also expressed their understanding. He Wen did not need anyone else to express their opinions, as long as Hal, Harudo, and Elder Huck could answer this question seriously.
Seeing that none of them had any objections, He Wen nodded.
"Thank you everyone. This is just a strategic policy. How to implement it requires further study. Unfortunately, we don't have much time. Now I suggest that everyone take a break, take turns cleaning the battlefield, and monitor the movements outside the forest."
"Professor, you are the one who deserves the most rest."
Harudo said.
He Wen did not deny that he was really too tired. It had been a long time since he had a good sleep after arriving in this village.
But he had other things to do now, so he nodded and left the room.
At this time, Eve was very entangled. She helped the orcs, but the orcs who had gained freedom now wanted to harm other humans. The world may indeed be wrong now, but it does not mean that everyone is wrong. .
She sat on the edge of the bed, holding her long sword in her hand, the blade of the long sword reflected on her cheek.
Eve vaguely remembered the oath she took when she was fifteen years old, the year she first became a knight.
"I, Eve Fast, swear at this moment to declare my unyielding belief between cold steel and warm blood."
"We swear to the light, to protect truth and justice, and to defend the weak with strong shields and sharp swords when darkness whispers and resentment cries."
"We swear an oath of glory and pursue excellence; when wars are raging and trials are approaching, we will lead the way with unyielding will."
"We swear to our compatriots and support each other; on lonely cold nights and when the icy wind stings, we spread the flame of hope with warm hands."
"No matter how stormy the mortal world is, we are both shields and sharp arrows. We will always be the brightest star before dawn to guide all sentient beings to find their way home."
She recited these oaths silently, and then her tears fell on the sword.
"Great King of Knights, please guide me in the direction...be the enlightening star on my confused path, and tell me exactly...what I should do."
"Arkanrenas will not guide you."
A voice suddenly sounded from outside the house. Eve suddenly looked towards the door and saw Shalia's petite body entering the house at some point. She was standing at the door, watching her quietly.
"The King of Knights, Acanrenus, is also the first knight in the human kingdom, but unfortunately, he is a lazy man and a drunkard, so if you want to get his guidance, I advise you to save it."
Shalia looked at Eve with a faint smile on her face.
