“Fif-fifty to sixty thousand?”
Kieran’s tone notched a few octaves up. He suspected that favonovel.com had heard wrong. If it was just fifty or sixty of them or even five or six hundred of them, favonovel.com would not think that it was anything to make a fuss about. After all, such a long time had passed since that incident. Even if a few had made their way in, the Alliance Guard would not pursue the matter, and they certainly would not create such a huge ruckus about it.
However, fifty to sixty thousand people was too much. That was way too many people. Furthermore, how much spirited grass would these people claim once they came in? They would have to give up so much of the martial resources!
Furthermore, that entrance was inside the forest near the Nine Armies. That forest could be said to be just like their backyard. Other than the occasional disciple from the Bloodshed Clan who came to find a few materials, the people of the Nine Armies, who were closest to the forest, found it the most convenient to go there.
Now that these few ten thousand people had entered the forest, they would probably use up plenty of the martial resources in a flash. When favonovel.com thought about how many resources were being taken away, Kieran felt his heart twist in pain.
“Fortress master, what should we do about this? We’re not prepared at all for so many people to come in at once!”
The First Elder took a step forward and looked at Kieran before him. It was evident that favonovel.com was in a complete panic!”
“What do we do? How should I know what to do? This happened too abruptly. Who knew so many people would come in so suddenly!”
It was evident that Kieran did not know what to do either. After favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com said, “Let’s go and seek out the First Fortress Master. I am not daring enough to make a decision on my own regarding this matter. All of you, immediately go and inform the other fortress masters about this, and tell them to hurry over to meet at the First Fortress Master’s place!”
“Yes, sir!”
The people who had been drinking tea with favonovel.com immediately ran out.
When they saw that the fortress master of the Whittemore Fortress did not hesitate long to inform the First Fortress Master and the others about the matter, Hendrick and the others heaved internal sighs of relief.
After Hendrick gave it some thought, favonovel.com said, “Fortress Master Whittemore, no need to send people to our own fortress. I’ll head back to inform everyone about this!”
“All right. Thank you for your service!”
Kieran lifted his hands into a fist-to-palm salute. At least they did not need to send so many people to spread the message this way.
“Let’s go!”
Hendrick immediately waved his hand toward Ella and the few youths from their fortress and lead the others to fly off.
They all pushed themselves to the limits of their speed. After a while, Hendrick and the others had arrived inside the Lavigne Fortress. At this time, the sky had already begun to darken.
“Father, something has happened. Where’s the fortress master?”
He saw his father once favonovel.com entered the place. Hendrick immediately spoke in a loud voice.
“What happened? Seems like something urgent has come up, judging from your looks!”
Hendrick’s father smiled without care. From his perspective, the Nine Armies were all not too far away from each other, and everyone looked after each other. If the Nine Armies were to band together, they were quite a strong force. The smaller forces usually did not dare to stir up trouble with them.
