Ride and Cut

Li Cha paced back and forth, showing an extremely bitter smile. When the Iron Giant said it was bad news, he really didn't discount it at all. The two news were worse than the other. It was simply terrible.

He had already started to prepare for the war with the undead, but even so, he never thought that it would be so soon in half a year.

Just half a year is not necessarily enough time to prepare for a partial battle. It is too hasty to usher in a full-scale collision between the two worlds.

Seeing that countries are still keen on the stance of coercion, it is obviously difficult to expect them to be prepared. When the boundless army of undead flies by, how many fertile fields will be turned into dead places? How many creatures turned into corpses?

Li Cha suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "But why did Tai Tan send you to the other side of the world?"

"It's a long story." Chief Saitos said, "In fact, the meeting of the Titan King's Court was over a few days ago. I have already returned to the Evening Forest, and I was waiting to meet you on the day we agreed on."

"Titan's meeting efficiency is quite high."

Counting with fingers, the royal court meeting lasted at most five or six days. You must know that this is an important meeting that determines the movement of the entire Titan family, and being able to finalize it so quickly is definitely a model of efficiency.

"You know that the people in the ruins have been supported by the Twilight Forest ever since the contact with the Alpine Castle was lost. The goblin was carried out of the ruins after his condition deteriorated. I met him, and it turned out that he knew about the royal court meeting." Saitos cast doubtful eyes on the lord of the Alpine Fort.

"I seem to have mentioned something to him." Li Cha was embarrassed.

It stands to reason that such a confidential matter should not be known to outsiders at all, who told him that he lacked a gatekeeper.

"That goblin can be seen to be a smart person anyway." The Iron Giant didn't bother, and continued, "He told me that time is precious now, and returning one day earlier can buy one more day for the creatures in the other world. So I asked him what should I do, but he actually asked me to take the initiative to ask Titan to apply to be an outpost in the other world!"

"You applied?"

"Yeah." Chief Saitos nodded, "And the Titan quickly agreed, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"Lola is really powerful." Buckland walked to the side on crutches at some point. "At that time, most people could only think of trying to hide themselves in front of Titans, but he could think of a way to actively seek help from Titans. Although it doesn't look unusual in hindsight, it's really not easy to think outside the box."

Chief Saitos blushed—it was obvious that he was just an idiot who couldn't think outside the box. Fortunately, the iron giant's skin was very dark, and the blush was not visible.

"Indeed, it really bought a few more days for the whole world." Li Cha hesitated for a while, and quickly made up his mind to make a decision. "Elder, you should spread this news as soon as possible. The wider the range, the better."

"What if people ask about the source of the news?" said Buckland worriedly.

"I can't control that much anymore!" The lord's face was very calm, but there was a kind of unshakable determination in his tone, "If I am still in this kind of matter, I really look down on myself!"

"But..." Old Baihu was almost speechless, he fully understood the weight of these words.

Once the news spreads, regardless of whether the outside world believes it or not, whether the result is good or bad, Li Cha will have to bear the resulting aftermath—it will almost certainly be very heavy.

It would be trivial to destroy one's reputation once, and it may even be spurned or even punished by the entire human world!

"You are still very young, do you really want to put yourself on the cusp?"

"Nonsense!" Li Cha sneered and laughed, "When did I ever care about other people's opinions on what I'm going to do?"

As a gradually declining old man, I have witnessed a lot in this world. Generous, sad, joyful, and excited, I thought I would have been familiar with it and even numb.

But at this moment, Buckland suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist.

"Okay." Leaning on crutches, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, wait." Chief Saitos put his palm in front of Buckland, blocking his way like a high wall, "That goblin also said, don't act rashly after you know it, especially don't stir up storms in the city."

"Why?" Richard and Buckland asked in unison.

"He didn't say." The iron giant blinked his big eyeballs twice, "But he said that he has a wonderful plan now, and he needs your cooperation."

"Sun, don't convey it yet." The lord hurriedly called Buckland back, and the heroic atmosphere just now disappeared immediately.

"Now what?"

"Chief, you should rest quickly. Let's go back as soon as possible. I'm really curious, what kind of medicine is sold in this dead goblin's gourd, Liola."

…………

Returning to the Twilight Forest once again, the lord could not help feeling a little bit emotional.

The close contact between Alpine Fortress and Dusk Forest once brought huge benefits to both parties. Not only did the Ripper warriors borrow treasures to harvest experience and dried meat, but the local aborigines also obtained many materials that were difficult for them to produce.

In just one or two years, the landscape changed drastically.

Evil Titans generally would not easily set foot in this iron giant's dominion, and even Saitos had to go through the Chaohu Passage thousands of miles away to go to the other side of the world.

But to be on the safe side, all changes were banned. Hunters resumed their stone weapons, and women resumed their rough leather garments.

But right now, there is obviously not much time left for Li Cha to sigh, every minute and every second is precious.

Led by Chief Saitos, Li Cha saw Liola who was recuperating in the tree house.

This goblin, who was already very skinny, now looks like a skeleton, with not much flesh left on his body. There is still some spirit in the pair of big eyes, but embedded in the dry face, it can almost only make people feel horrible.

If it wasn't for being able to feel the breath of life from him, Li Cha would almost think that what he saw was an undead.

"Good day, dear Li Cha." Liola was still in good spirits, leaning on the pillow and flipping through a notebook.

"Good day." Li Cha held his hand, feeling a little sad in his heart, but he couldn't express it too much on his face.

"Listen, I have a brilliant plan." Liola stared at Li Cha without blinking, her expression was almost fanatical, and her voice was trembling, "But I need the cooperation of you and Chief Saitos, and then we will together—play the Titan in the palm of our hands!"

He fell back heavily on the pillow, grinning and said, "I call this plan the 'Double Reed Meter'!"
