Chapter 1150 Old Friend

"What do you mean by 'self-proclaimed'? We were Joan's old friends!"

Another girl's voice came from outside the door, her tone of voice showed a hearty and pungent personality.

"You ask Joan, I don't believe it, that southern guy dares to deny me as a friend!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qiao An immediately saw the face of a pretty girl with short hair. Could it be the "Iron Rose of Shizhu Town"?

He hurried around the dragon corpse and pushed open the door.

Sure enough, besides Hailaer and Zion, there were two young men and women in Asa hunting suits outside the door. They were old friends they met when they were traveling in Fangshan Mountain—the two brothers and sisters of the Volsunger family. !

"Haakon, Slude, long time no see."

"It's a pleasure to see you here, old friend!"

Haakon Volsunger rushed over excitedly and hugged Joan vigorously.

Sluder Volsunger glanced at Hailaer proudly, and said half-jokingly and half-showing off: "Well, let me say that Joan recognizes us!"

Hailar didn't care, and threw a round pumpkin pie with each hand, and twirled it quickly on his fingertips, as if he was doing acrobatics.

"Since we are all friends, don't see outsiders, and hurry into the house!"

Hailaer rushed into the room and almost bumped into the huge dragon corpse. She screamed in fright, jumped out in a hurry, and then screamed at double the volume.

"Pie! Pumpkin Pie got away!!"

With quick eyes and quick hands, Slude grabbed the pumpkin pie before it fell to the ground, and handed it to Joan.

"Eat it while it's hot, or it will be used as a juggling toy in a while."

"What do you mean, little girl, I suspect you are mocking me!"

Hailaer stared at Slude, her high ponytails reflected her mood faithfully.

"Ha! With your small stature, how dare you call me a 'little girl'?"

With his hands on his hips, Slude looked down at the girl with twin ponytails who was a head shorter than him. She seemed to be much more mature than her, even though her age advantage was only one year old.

"You two have been arguing non-stop since you first met. It's just inexplicable." Audrey shook her head helplessly.

Joan felt that Slude and Hailaer seemed to get along quite well, otherwise, with Slude's personality, it was unlikely that he would quarrel with someone he just met.

He turned around and waved at the white dragon corpse, restarted the "shrinking technique" on the dragon corpse, and then shrunk the dragon corpse to one sixty-fourth of its size and put it back into the storage bag, freeing up room for entertaining guests.

After everyone was seated, Joan finally had the opportunity to ask Haakon and Slude: "Why did you come here?"

"Elk Town has always had a good relationship with our Shizhu Town. Most of the residents in the town are compatriots of our Asa tribe. Elder Hunter was born in the Volsung family. When my father heard that the town was besieged by monsters, he sent me and Slude came over to see what's going on here, maybe he can help." Haakon replied.

"When you came in, were you stopped by the frost giants of Winterhold?"

"We rode a giant crow and flew in directly. Those frost giants outside the town can't fly. Even if they find me and Slude, they can't stop them." Haakon smiled proudly.

"It's all thanks to Joan killing the white dragon in Winterhold this morning, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for you to fly in." Audrey said seriously.

"Yeah, Joan, you are really amazing! You actually killed an adult white dragon with your own hands. If you are from our Asa tribe, just because of this feat of slaying a dragon, you are enough to become a great legend that bards swear by." Hero!" Haakon excitedly clapped Joan's shoulder heavily.

Holden coughed twice: "Speaking of bards... I am planning to write a narrative poem describing the Battle of Elk Town, and Joan is the protagonist of the poem."

"I don't want to be the protagonist!" Qiao An shook her head embarrassingly, "Besides, the war is not over yet, and the 'Dragon Slaying Hero' may not survive to the end..."

After hearing what he said, everyone's emotions were also depressed, and the ward fell into silence.

Joan realized that he had said something disappointing and was very sorry, so he took the initiative to break the deadlock and introduced the current plight of Elk Town to the Walsong brothers and sisters, hoping that they could move more soldiers from Shizhu Town to save Elk Town from destroy.

"Joan, although Shizhu Town and Winterhold are not allies, we have never had a direct conflict. The situation in Elk Town is similar to that of Shizhu Town. Why does Winterhold want to besiege Elk Town with great fanfare? Trim and What exactly do Vignier and his son want in this small town?"

Slude's pretty face was stern, and the questions she asked were extremely sharp.

"If it's just to plunder livestock, food and slaves, frankly speaking, even if Winterhold can break through Elk Town in the end, the price paid will be far greater than the benefits gained. That old fox Trim is very shrewd, I don't think he will Do this kind of loss-making business."

Joan thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide the truth from the Walsung brothers and sisters, so she briefly described the grievances between Winterhold and Clark. The details involving the "Korstchurch collar" are too sensitive, and it is inconvenient for Clark to disclose them to outsiders before obtaining Clark's consent, so he just mentioned them in general terms.

"For Elder Hunter, the current situation is indeed very difficult." Slude showed sympathy, "Mr. Hainier is the benefactor of Elder Hunter and even the entire Elk Town, if he succumbs to the pressure of Winterhold and betrays his benefactor , I really have a guilty conscience, but if I insist on protecting Mr. Hainier and anger the lord of East Castle, I am afraid that all the townspeople will suffer from a catastrophe..."

Should he sacrifice his life for righteousness and protect his benefactor at all costs; or should he bow to reality and would rather be ungrateful and try to save more relatives and friends?

This is a difficult multiple choice question.

Confined within this framework, no matter what choice is made, it is still difficult to feel at ease in the end.

So, is it possible to break through the limitations and get rid of the situation of being forced to choose between two?

In terms of the current situation in Elk Town, the possibility of withstanding the pressure of Winterhold is very slim. If they want to get out of the predicament, they can only pray for assistance from the outside world.

Thinking of this, Joan simply made it clear to the Walsong brothers and sisters: "Haakon, Slude, only relying on the defensive strength of Elk Town, can't stop the offensive of Winterhold. For your sake, send additional reinforcements to help Elk Town resist the invasion of frost giants?"

"Of course it's—"

Just as Haakon was about to speak, he was stopped by his sister's stern eyes, and he could only shut his mouth resentfully.

"Joan, we also want to preserve Elk Town, but this matter is too involved, and Haakon and I cannot decide. I will send a letter to my father as soon as possible, telling the truth about what happened to Elk Town, and ask my father to try to persuade him The elders of the clan agreed to send troops to rescue."

Slude sighed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, that's all we can do.
