Sky Dragon Mountain was the tallest mountain in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. It was also the source of the Sky River.
However, every year from October onwards, Sky Dragon Mountain would be covered in frost.
When the source of the Sky River froze, the amount of water flowing through the Sky River would decrease.
There were two natural barriers between the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the orcs.
One of them was the Sky River. If the water level of the Sky River decreased in advance, the orcs would not have winter yet. Then the orcs could directly pass through the Sky River and enter the hinterland of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
The Lightning Tower Plains could be said to be the food production area of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
If the Sky Dragon Empire was robbed by the orcs, the Heavenly Dragon Empire would face a food crisis next year.
Most importantly, the Sky River Village was only ten kilometers away from the Sky River. If the orcs crossed the Sky River, the Sky River Village would be the first to suffer.
At the same time, Xu Tianyu remembered the main mission issued by the system.
Baron Ronald wanted to gain control of the Sky River and the Lightning Tower Plains.
"Could it be that Baron Ronald has some connection with the orcs?"
Xu Tianyu could not help but murmur in his heart.
If Baron Ronald controlled the land near the Sky River and made some kind of deal with the orcs.
At that time, the orcs would be able to reach the Lightning Tower Plains without alerting anyone.
At that time, it would be a disastrous blow to the Thunder Tower Plains. Moreover, if the Beastmen were to occupy the Thunder Tower Plains, then the Thunder Tower Plains would be destroyed.
Basically, the entire northern territory of the Heavenly Dragon Empire would fall into the hands of the orcs.
At that time, the people in the north would be living in an abyss of suffering.
"Damn it, we must stop them. There are still two months left. By then, his soldiers would have formed a large scale. By relying on the Sky River, they should have the strength to fight against the orcs."
Xu Tianyu thought in his heart. But before that, he must first figure out whether Ronald had anything to do with this matter.
Maybe, he could find a few allies by then.
"Robin, are you sure about the news about the Sky River and the orcs?"
Old Bai frowned and asked. His heart was filled with worry.
"The news, I can't be sure. It was spread by the merchants in the same trade."
"City Lord Phil, didn't you confirm this matter?"
"I've already seen two or three groups of soldiers go out to investigate, but there's still no news. I'm afraid that the orcs will really invade, so I came back to take Er Gou with me."
"If the other villagers want to leave, I can temporarily bring them to Watt City. However, their living conditions may not be as good as in the village."
Elder Bai fell silent. No one wanted to leave their hometown.
However, if the Orcs were really going to cross the Heavenly River, for the survival of the villagers, escaping was undoubtedly a very good solution.
Mr. Bai thought it through and looked up at Xu Tianyu, who was silent on the side.
"Village Chief Tenyu, what's your decision?"
Xu Tianyu didn't speak immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Additionally, Baron Ronald's black iron knights would arrive in two days. Therefore, he had to figure out the real face of Ronald.
"We will wait for two more days. If there is no result, we will move the whole village to Watt City."
Although Xu Tianyu said this, he didn't plan to leave.
The fields that were bound to the system were in Sky River Village. The system was the foundation of his great career. He would never give it up.
Moreover, whether or not he could defeat the orcs, he would only know after fighting them.
