Chapter 2711 Decision
After waiting for a week, no news related to the disaster came.
There are rumors circulating that Calamity has fallen asleep and will not wake up in the near future.
But rumors, especially those related to disasters, are only 50/50 at best.
As the saying goes: It is better to believe that something is there than to believe that something is not there. Only when you are prepared can you be safe from danger.
In response to this, the old Duke made a good response - intensively train veteran adventurers and spend a lot of money to cultivate them into a reliable army. At the same time, he used generous benefits to recruit new adventurers, and used Cultivated from reserves.
In this way, two problems can be solved one after another. First, we must have enough power to calmly deal with the crisis caused by disasters in the short term; second, if one day in the future, other countries launch a temporary attack on Da Sai City, Da Sai City will be destroyed. Cyberjaya has the ability to take it in stride.
There are many advantages, but there are also many disadvantages, and they are fatal.
One of the most fatal shortcomings is that there are too many troops, which can easily bring down the economy of Dasay City.
As the saying goes: A hundred men raise a soldier.
Nowadays, the number of standing troops in Dasai City is approaching saturation. Adding similar military services will only make the national treasury even more constrained. This is assuming that there is no major disaster in Dasai City. If there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the cost of repairs will be very high. , comfort fees, resettlement fees, rescue fees, etc. These huge expenses are enough to drag this country into the abyss.
But these are not things I should worry about. What I should consider most now is when to leave here.
Due to the breakdown of our relationship with the old Duke, Cagalli and I could only fight in the back garden of the palace every day. Then we would rest when we were tired and then fight again. This happened repeatedly. It was impossible to go to the dungeon. First of all, there was no suitable team. , and secondly, I don’t dare.
The dungeon is not a paradise to live and work in peace and contentment, it is a lurking ferocious beast. If you kill monsters properly, there will be absolutely no danger. But if you are concentrating on dealing with monsters, and someone suddenly shoots a cold arrow, the consequences will be disastrous. Wonderful.
He knows people but not their hearts. Although the old Duke has repeatedly emphasized that he will not do anything secretly, who can say for sure - he even wants to replace the young master he has been loyal to for many years. The words of such a disloyal person cannot be trusted. ?
As for Cagalli, she was tired of not being able to enter the dungeon for a week. When she was resting, her eyes would always glance in the direction of the dungeon from time to time.
Finally, after lunch, she broke out, banging the bluestone with her war hammer while mumbling about going to the dungeon to spawn monsters.
When the bluestone was smashed into lime, the Beastman King and the Beastman Queen also arrived.
When the two of them saw Cagalli lying in the grass panting, her eyes never leaving the direction of the dungeon, they suddenly understood everything.
So a family meeting began.
The Orc King was the first to suggest that Cagalli did not need to stay in the palace every day. He could assign guards to accompany her and protect her.
But this suggestion was rejected by Cagalli and me at the same time.
Don't be kidding, we are in an extraordinary period now. There must be many subordinates of the old Duke or other people with evil intentions secretly watching the palace. Once they find that the Orc King is not accompanied by personal guards, they will immediately launch an assassination operation against him.
After being rejected by us, the orc queen then came forward to express her position: "Otherwise, let's temporarily lend my guard to the two children."
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately rejected by the three of us.
The Orc King said that the life of the Orc Queen was more valuable than his, because not only did she have a huge family behind her - the queen's natal family, but also one of the few royal branches in Dashai City, and because she was still the future. The Crown Prince's mother.
Although there are often rumors that the Tianjia is ruthless, this is only for those who are crazy about power. The real Tianjia is still very friendly.
For example, take the Orc King's family, a monogamous couple, and four children. Although there is some distance between the two children, it is limited to factional disputes. Privately, they are still brothers and sisters.
The backbone of this family is naturally the Orc King, but its joint, the most important link connecting the family, is the Orc Queen.
If you are familiar with this family, you will find that there will be more or less conflicts between the Beastman King, the eldest son, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the younger daughter, but these conflicts will be resolved invisible because of one person. This person, It was the orc queen.
In other words, if something happens to the orc queen, it will be difficult to maintain this family.
The couple's personal bodyguard must not be able to move, and their favorite little daughter Cagalli, in order to ensure her life safety, has to restrain her nature and is imprisoned in the palace. Over time, she may suffer from depression because of this disease.
Discussions have gone on and on, but no suitable solution has been found.
Biting my lip, I suggested, "How about we go back first?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence.
The Beastman King was the first to react, laughed twice, and said: "I agree with Xiao Yi's suggestion. Now that the disaster has subsided, it's time to go back to work."
The orc queen's eyes were slightly reluctant, but she nodded in agreement: "My husband is right, and I agree with Xiao Yi's suggestion."
This time, Cagalli was a little reluctant to let go.
There was a continuous look of hesitation on her face, and her eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions. Her teeth kept biting her lower lip, and her fingers were twisting the ends of her hair hard under the table, as if doing so would cause her pain. determination.
I looked at her silently, with tenderness in my eyes, but no encouragement or support, because it was her own choice to separate from her parents, and I had no way to interfere.
The Beastman King took a deep breath, rubbed the sides of his nose naturally with his thick fingers, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes unnoticeably.
He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Go back, Cagalli. Don't worry about us. We will live well. The transportation is convenient now. If you miss us, you can come over at any time."
"My husband is right." The orc queen wiped away the tears that had just flowed out of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Cagalli, you should go back to Moonlight City and go back to your companions. They need you even more."
At this point, the orc queen's voice was choked with sobs, and she suppressed her good emotions. She turned to me and continued: "My Cagalli is begging you, you have to treat her well."
Choking again, the orc queen had to swallow the second half of her sentence. She couldn't cry, because if she cried, Cagalli would cry even more sadly.
The orc king laughed, hugged the queen, and comforted her: "Okay, don't worry. Xiaoyi will definitely be able to take good care of our Cagalli. He is a good man like me."
Seeing the Orc King wink at me, I quickly expressed my opinion: "Don't worry, my feelings for Cagalli are the most sincere and pure. They are deeper than the sea, purer than snow, tougher than rock, and more powerful than disaster." Even crazier!"
When I turned my head, I saw Cagalli with reddish eyes and red cheeks. She pinched me hard and muttered: "Bah! The more I talk, the more I do not behave properly. I should pinch me."
