Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry
Chapter 35: Uneasy and Unsettled
"The Orc Empire has pushed us into a desperate situation. This time, they are forcing us to collect food, but the tribes simply don't have enough food to give them. They said that without enough food, they will leave no one alive wherever the army goes."
After Yun Qingchi finished speaking, he looked at Leon quietly.
"This……"
Leon was silent. He didn't know why orcs were so unwelcome in the Orc Empire.
He looked at Frost Star beside him, hoping to know something about the orcs.
"Is what she said true?"
"What she said is true. My sister and I escaped from the Orc Empire."
Froststar hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
After hearing this, Lyon didn't know what to say. After a long time, Lyon spoke.
"Queen Qingchi, I cannot agree to let your people enter the Territory of Sin because I am not sure whether your people are good or bad."
Listening to Leon's words, Yun Qingchi felt a little disappointed. Although she had expected this ending a long time ago, it was still hard to accept when she heard it with her own ears.
Just when Yun Qingchi was about to leave, Leon spoke again.
"But... I have a better plan..."
Hearing this, hope appeared in Yun Qingchi's eyes again.
He rushed directly to Leon and grabbed Leon's hand.
"Ahem, Queen..."
Leon said somewhat bewilderedly.
Frost had already appeared on the hands of Frost Star standing by.
Yun Qingchi seemed to realize that his current actions were a bit inappropriate, his face turned red, and he immediately distanced himself.
"My thought is that we all have a common enemy at the moment, and that is the Orc Empire, right?"
Yun Qingchi nodded without denying.
"Then for the safety of the Sin Territory, we must defeat the invading enemy. The problem is that the orc army arrived during the spring plowing season.
There is no way I would give up my spring farming plan in the Sin Territory.
But the northern border of the Sin Territory is completely undefended, but that doesn’t mean there is no way out.”
After Leon finished speaking, he looked at Yun Qingchi.
Yun Qingchi was a little confused.
Could it be that the solution lies in myself?
"My Queen, you should be familiar with this river in front of you, right?"
Leon said, pointing at the river in front of him.
"Of course I know. This is the Cangjiang River that flows all the way from the Western Continent. It is where my ancestors lived."
Yun Qingchi explained.
"What if I build a defense line relying on the Cangjiang River? Can I stop the orc army to the north of the Cangjiang River?"
Lyon said.
"Then how do you know where the army will cross the river?"
After Yun Qingchi finished speaking, he looked at Leon who was staring at him with a smile, and he immediately understood what Leon was thinking.
"I understand, but what about my people? Once the fighting starts, where will millions of people go?"
Yun Qingchi spoke.
"You can retreat to the northern part of Cangjiang. If we defeat the enemy, you can return to your homes."
Lyon said.
"What if you fail?"
Yun Qingchi spoke.
"If we fail, you can immediately enter the Sin Territory. The south of the Sin Territory should be safe. After all, the Orc Empire's target is the Holy Empire. Of course, you can also go to the surrounding countries."
Lyon said.
After hearing this, Yun Qingchi still found it hard to believe Leon.
Lyon also knew that he couldn't convince Yun Qingchi with just words.
Then he took out a magic contract.
The magic contract has the bond of magic. Once the contract is violated, it is very likely that the person will die instantly.
He wrote down what Lyon promised and signed his name on it.
Handed it to Yun Qingchi.
Yun Qingchi was slightly stunned, then he looked at it carefully for a long time and spoke.
"Sir Leon, can I go back to the tribe and discuss this with the elders?"
"No problem. I will show the Queen the military power of the Sin Territory later."
Leon laughed.
Yun Qingchi didn't say anything. She was still worried about the strength of Lyon and the others.
"My Queen, where is the most likely place for the orc army to cross the river?"
Leon asked.
"I know this. Although the Cangjiang River is very long, there are only two places in the north of the Territory of Sin where we can cross the river."
After Yun Qingchi finished speaking, he pointed to two places in the distance.
Leon's mouth twitched, "My Queen! I don't have magic power, I can't see through it...
He immediately took out a map and spread it on the table that was brought to the side.
"Queen Qingchi, which two places did you just mention?"
Yun Qingchi came closer upon seeing this and was slightly stunned when he saw such an accurate map.
Then he pointed out two places.
Lyon immediately circled it with a pen.
“Did you draw this map?”
This was the first time Yun Qingchi saw such an accurate map.
"Yes, I drew this map when I was in the imperial capital. It took me ten years to draw it, and I used all my private money."
Leon said and called Reinhardt.
"Reinhardt, you must take the engineering battalion and conduct reconnaissance work in these two places immediately.
I remember there is a floating bridge here. Although the map says it is three meters wide, I still want to check it out.”
"understand!"
Reinhardt set out immediately.
"Your Majesty, do you mind if my people go to investigate?"
"no problem."
After Yun Qingchi finished speaking, he looked at Lyon's map quietly.
It turns out that this world is so big. The Orc Empire and the Holy Empire alone are much larger than his own tribal territory.
I still want to lead my people to resist...
But the Sin Territory isn’t that big!
Why do they dare to challenge the Orc Empire?
Yun Qingchi thought of this and asked.
"Aren't you worried about losing this war?"
"Lose? Of course I'm afraid, but what else can I do if I don't fight? If we fall behind, we will be beaten. Rather than living in fear all day long in the evil territory, it is better to fight here with real swords and guns, and make those who want to invade us pay the price with blood!
And behind us is our home. As the saying goes, it’s hard to leave your hometown!”
After Leon finished speaking, he continued to stare at the map, confirming the feasibility of his plan.
Yun Qingchi fell silent after hearing this.
After looking at the map for a while, Lyon found that Yun Qingchi didn't speak, so he planned to adjust the atmosphere.
"And I think as long as we can stop the orc army, they will retreat soon."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the Sin Territory is not their target. Their goal is to capture the Sin Territory and then attack the Violet Principality from both sides. If we can stop this army, then the Orc Empire's two-sided attack will fail."
Leon said after analyzing.
Yun Qingchi did not hesitate after hearing this, because what Leon said was very likely true.
"Okay, Queen Qingchi, do you mind if we go to your house for a visit? Let's confirm the contract. Also, there is something I hope the Queen can agree to.
Oh, and Queen, don’t worry about my army, they will be waiting at the border.”
Leon laughed.
"What do you want me to do?"
Yun Qingchi was a little surprised when he heard this.
