But this situation may not last long. Although the urgently expanded Ice City has become a barely adequate safe zone thanks to the efforts of the coalition forces of various countries and most adventurers and mercenaries in the Ice Floe Castle, they lack supplies. It is impossible to withstand the ferocious beast tide in the next "wild beast disaster".
Perhaps the Karatu Empire that occupied the floating ice castle also knew that it would be impossible to withstand the next "wild beast disaster" with only an ice floating castle with only civilians and slaves left, so it did not make any plans to move out of the floating ice castle. Instead, they adopted a half-hostile and half-supportive attitude, using a large amount of supplies as a temptation to force allied forces from various countries and members of major guilds who were in urgent need of food and supplies to help them hunt magical beasts in exchange for supplies.
Under this situation, the Karatu Empire regarded the personnel managed by the original Floating Ice Castle Council as objects of exploitation and cannon fodder to resist the next "disaster of wild beasts", and allowed them to build an empire under their noses. City, and supported a large amount of city construction materials almost as charity, and also opened an urn city outside the Ice Castle as a trading market for trade between the two sides, to extract the residual value of the coalition forces, adventurers, and mercenaries of the Ice Castle Parliament from various countries.
This sudden situation caused the coalition forces of various countries that originally abided by the "Ice Floe Agreement" and the parliamentarians who controlled their respective countries to lose their goals. In order to survive, various selfish situations began to occur in the new city. After the incident, the originally iron-clad Parliament of the Floating Ice Castle fell apart. Members of the parliament from various countries began to work on their own affairs, forming large and small forces in the new city with self-respect.
As soon as the Ice Castle Parliament was disbanded, the Speaker of the "Dragon's Tombstone" Texas naturally lost his original status. Unlike the MPs who were the leaders of the coalition forces of various countries, they were members of the major professional guilds. The professionals led by the president are a group of people who are both independent from the national system and dependent on the national system. The members of the various guilds who represent the strongest combat effectiveness of the new city have become mutually supportive with the coalition forces of various countries, but also * A group of people who belong to the "Ice City Parliament" system composed of allied forces from various countries.
The former Speaker of Texas and the Mercenary Guild, representing the Adventurer's Guild, maintained an indifferent attitude, and other professional guilds such as the Spellcasters' Guild and the Melee Combaters' Guild began to recruit adventurers and mercenaries of their own profession to increase their strength. Same. A group of people led by Texas are worried about the current situation.
Those who have fallen into an extreme crisis, but have not united together, instead dismantled the parliamentary system of the Floating Ice Castle in order to protect themselves, makes His Excellency Texas angry and helpless. In this situation, . It is impossible for them to survive the next "wild beast disaster". And because they have lost contact with the Star Continent, they have no idea what is happening on the mainland. They have no idea when the Karatu Empire, which is the enemy of the entire Star Continent, will be defeated by the mainland coalition forces and the waterway will be opened.
After continuous efforts to lobby to no avail, a group of long-term visionaries led by Texas had no choice but to give up. I began to think about how to survive, because the members of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild were originally composed of members of various professional guilds. After each professional guild summoned adventurers and mercenaries belonging to their own professions, the two originally powerful The great guilds also collapsed, leaving only a handful of wise people still working hard.
Knowing that this was not the way to go, the Texus and Kaka army began to send out a large number of exploration teams to search for a safe living space in the depths of the barbaric continent, hoping to bring down the beasts before the disaster of wild beasts comes again. The personnel of Ice City were relocated to a safe place instead of being used as cannon fodder to defend the Karatu Empire from the "scourge of wild beasts". On this point, the Ice City Council and various professional guilds strongly support it. They tried their best to scrape together personnel and materials for more than a hundred exploration teams to set off.
Because the Adventurer's Guild collapsed and was disbanded, President Texas and Master Kaka did not stay. Instead, he gathered a group of followers who were not weak in strength. An exploration team was set up and also went deep into the barbaric continent.
After a long time without finding a safe environment. The "Ale and Barbecue" team, which has always been very lucky, accidentally mentioned the Oriental people who disappeared in the disaster of wild beasts, and sighed worriedly. They didn't know whether the Oriental people, who had no strength, could still survive alone in the depths of the wild continent. , which suddenly attracted the attention of Master Texas and Kaka, and suddenly discovered that if an Easterner has survived alone in the barbaric continent for such a long time, then the place where he is now must be a safe environment. .

Master Kaka used "biolocation technology" to try it, and was surprised to find that the one they almost missed The forgotten Oriental was really still alive, so he searched in the direction of the Oriental. After going through many hardships along the way, he was finally found in front of the swamp.He was forced to stop, and only then did he realize what happened before.
The rescued became the saviors. The change of identities and roles made Master Kaka who originally promised to rescue the Orientals quite embarrassed and awkward. However, Lin Jia didn't care much. After all, they couldn't be blamed for this situation. In terms of loyalty, although the Ale and Barbeque Team wanted to rescue him, they did not have the strength themselves.
"So" Lin Jia asked: "Master Kaka, President Texas, what are your plans now?"
Master Kaka and Texas were speechless for a moment, yes, what are your plans? An Oriental man has relied on his own efforts to become the lord of this dangerous abyssal forest. The people who originally promised to rescue him are now asking him to rescue them?
Furthermore, even if the Orientals are willing to help them now, in what name will they do it? Take refuge? It is impossible for those members of the coalition forces from various countries to become subordinates of the Eastern lords. Why should others help you for no reason?
Use high-sounding words like national interests to convince him? It seems that the people from the East are not the citizens of any country in your Star Continent at all. In other words, the territory of Lava Territory can only be regarded as a colony of the East Continent.
Master Kaka and Texas looked at each other with nothing to say, but Lin Jia explained the matter straightforwardly and said: "I basically understand your situation, but you have also seen that currently in my territory The situation is not much better. Although it seems to be better than Ice City in comparison, the threat from the grassland and the unpredictability of the dangerous place in the abyss forest prevent me from freeing up a large number of manpower to support Ice City.
"However, I don't mind people from Bingcheng coming to settle here temporarily, but do you think it is possible for so many people from Bingcheng to reach the Abyss Forest through the route you have taken?" The huge supply shortage alone is enough to cause huge losses during the migration process, and even if the people from the Ice City reach the place where I found you, it is impossible for me to bring everyone to the lava territory through the teleportation array. Come on, how much consumption is required to open a plane passage that is enough for everyone to pass through? You must know better than me, and how many people are there in Ice City now? "
Lin Jia sharply pointed out the problem. Where the Oriental people went to pick them up, there was an almost endless swamp in front of them. If they had not been blocked there, they would not have thought of sending text messages to the Oriental people to keep themselves going. Confidence, no one knows how far it will be to reach the abyssal forest even after passing through the swamp.
It is even more impossible to pass through the teleportation array directly. The floating ice castle has 200,000 coalition troops from various countries, 150,000 adventurers and mercenaries of various professions, civilians and businessmen, and a floating population of 150,000, plus nearly 500,000 Coolies and slaves, totaling nearly 1 million.
Currently, most civilians, merchants, and slaves are controlled by the Karatu Empire in the Ice Castle. Except for the Karatu Empire, which was originally part of the coalition, the remaining coalition forces, adventurers, and mercenaries from various countries have all moved to the Ice Castle. There are only a small number of civilians and businessmen on the ice city. The current population of Ice City is around 300,000. It is impossible to reach the lava territory through the teleportation array. Besides, if you plan to move here, it will not be enough for just people to come here. A large number of people brought from the floating ice castle It is impossible for materials to be abandoned, so the expenditure required will be even greater.
What¡¯s more, even if it can be relocated as a whole, can the Lava Territory support such a large number of people? The Lava Territory is still in a difficult situation. The Lava Territory is no better than the Ice Floe Castle with the support of the Star Continent. Food only needs a few symbolic copper coins. In addition, the Lava Territory currently has people from the grassland and from the other side of the forest. The threat of war between two unknown primitive tribes rises.
Seeing that Master Kaka and President Texas were silent, Lin Jia helplessly spread his hands and expressed that he was helpless: "Of course, I welcome you to live here, and I even want to go back with you. To the Ice City or the Ice Floe Castle, but I am no longer alone here. As an incompetent lord, I must be responsible for the people and vassals in these territories! I finally have hope, but But he found that it was all in vain. Lin Jia felt the same way. In desperation, he had no choice but to stay silent with the two of them for the time being. After all, he couldn't protect himself either.
