The Witcher: Rise of the Dead

Chapter 196 Worry
Because the sky was dark and rainy, the road was not easy to walk.

Fortunately, there was an official road, so after marching for more than two hours, Thanos finally led his troops to a distance of three kilometers near Sloan Town.

Looking from here, you can see a huge number of green trolls outside Sloan Town.

However, some of these green goblins are gnawing bark, and some are digging grass to eat, and they look miserable.

But Thanos knew the troll's temper, so he didn't have the slightest sympathy, and even thought about how to procrastinate and starve them to death.

After all, if these trolls were all starved to death, Mink City would be theirs.

Of course, this idea is just a thought.

Looking at the green eyes of those trolls, and the crazy look they were looking at, he had no doubt that even the skeletons and zombies would be eaten by them.

After all, trolls are notoriously not picky eaters.

After a while, as the team slowly moved forward, the surrounding trolls also began to surround them.

In the end, the two sides maintained a shooting distance of 150 meters and did not continue to approach.

But those trolls looked at the skeletons and zombies, drooling, and then began to approach slowly.

Seeing this, Thanos immediately prepared the skeleton crossbow shooter to shoot, and the zombie heavy armored soldiers raised their shields and spears.

After all, if he wanted to enter Sloan Town, he had to go through this road, so he had no intention of retreating at all.

Just at this critical moment, a particularly tall troll stood up.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

With a roar, the surrounding trolls finally stopped moving forward, and even began to slowly retreat.

Seeing this, Thanos was also slightly relieved.

But soon, one person and one troll fell into a stalemate.

Because Thanos doesn't know the language of trolls, and likewise, trolls don't know human languages.

Language has become the biggest obstacle to their communication.

In the end, it was the troll leader who called his men and ran towards Sloan Town.

After more than ten minutes, the kobold, Hogg, followed a troll and came over.

When Hogg saw Thanos, he immediately shook his stomach and ran over all the way. At the same time, with tears in his eyes, he said with an aggrieved expression: "My lord, I finally waited for you to come."

In fact, he wasn't very scared at first.

After all, Sloan Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city walls are tall and there are many troops.

But as the number of trolls grew, he began to worry too.

Especially when the troll started to eat grass and bark, he knew that if the other party's food problem was not solved, the war would be suspended.

After all, for a group of hungry trolls, kobolds and humans on the city wall, it is the best food.

At that time, I don't know how many kobolds will die and how many men will die.

Of course, for the kobolds who are particularly fertile, even if more than half of them die, they can quickly reproduce again.

But that was before.

Under Thanos' control, he wasn't sure if the other party would give him this chance.

That's why he was so excited when he saw Thanos.

And Thanos looked at Hogg, who had disliked him before, and suddenly turned into a dog's leg. He just nodded lightly and asked, "Ask them, who is the leader, and who can call the shots?"

Hogg nodded, and immediately turned his head and said "cheeping."

After a while, he turned around and said, "My lord, that very tall troll is their leader, and his name is Montgomery."

In the tradition of the indigenous people, most of them are patriarchs or leaders, who inherit the name of the predecessor, that is, the name of the tribe.

Just like Hogg, he used to be called other names. After becoming the leader, he automatically called Hogg, and his kobold tribe was also Hogg kobold.

Thanos nodded, and then began to talk with the other party through Hogg, the translator.

In the end, the two sides reached a cooperation.

That is, Thanos first lent ten tons of food to the troll, and then sent people and the troll back to Mink City.

You can take whatever you fancy, as long as it doesn't exceed one ton, and you can't take precious metals at the same time.

Such as gold, silver and bronze and so on.

If you want these things, you have to exchange for more grain.

So after a while, Thanos asked Chitty to take out some food to temporarily stabilize the trolls.

Then he sent a small group of soldiers to follow the troll to Keming City.

Time soon arrived at noon three days later.

In Menghua Town, it was rare for Thanos not to conduct experiments and research at this time, but stood in front of the window, watching the heavy rain outside.

The sound of "cracking" rain, like the crisp ringtone, calmed his uneasy mood slightly.

After the deal with the trolls started three days ago, it started to rain again.

The heavy rain over the past ten days has wiped out most of the farmland again.

The first three or four months were droughts, and now there are floods.

This made him, who was already short of food, once again short of food.

At the same time, the food shortage was exacerbated by the food exchange from the trolls.

At the same time, he also found out clearly that although the weather in the general world was a bit harsh, it was not to this extent.

This year, this situation is simply unprecedented.

This further proves that the cobra city is probably caused by the sky burial witchcraft.

But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.

No matter whether you migrate north or south, you have to face new difficulties.

There are many aborigines in the north, and there is a troll guarding Minke City. Although he is sure to take it, I heard that there are three or four aboriginal tribes guarding Yihe City, with a total of 10,000+ aborigines.

So the migration to the north had to be given up.

Although there is Biyou City in the south, it is convenient for him to go, but it is difficult for him to face the wizard of the Giant Snake Tower.

"what can we do about it?"

The environment here has become very bad due to the influence of the sky burial witchcraft, and it is not suitable for long-term living at all.

He now has only two options.

Either most of the residents were transformed into necromancers and survived with the talents of necromancers.

Or head west and try your luck.

After all, the bloody lake in the west has not been formed yet, and not many races have survived yet.

Maybe he could find a small island to live on, or find a place where no one was around to settle down.

"Dong dong."

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Soon Suni pushed the door open and entered.

When Sara was busy solving the flood and food crisis, she was the only one who was free and came to Thanos' laboratory every day.

"My lord, Lord Somaya sent someone to say that she has already found a place to settle down, so I won't bother you."

Thanos nodded, but did not reply.

Because from the moment Somaya didn't come back with him, he knew what the other party was thinking.

After all, compared to herself, Mary is so easy to fool.

At this time, the other party might have moved to a small town, and Mary was sold, and she was still counting the money for the other party.

But things, he has no time to manage.

At this moment, what he worries about is that he still has tens of thousands of people under his rule, and where is the future.
