"In another 20 days, we will reach Rusty Anchor's territory and officially enter Aichy's sphere of influence. But if we encounter battles and refugees on the way, our pace will slow down."
In the morning meeting, Cherna pointed to the simple map they drew on the snow and told the other participants about their path.
"And if the snow continues to get heavier, our speed will be even slower, so we need a lot of sleds to ensure our speed in the snow and enough fuel."
Their situation wasn't very optimistic. According to the information of the refugees, the surrounding tribes could be described as fighting with each other, especially some small tribes that didn't have good hunting grounds this year. It was obvious that rather than starving to death, it was better to fight for food, so they kept attacking each other.
This wasn't because the large tribes didn't lack food, but because they would attack the cities and fortresses of the Noxus people to obtain the food inside. And through the gold, silver, and other materials, they would exchange for food and equipment in more places.
So Freldrod's image in the outside world was a barren land full of bandits and pirates. Only those mages and ancient existences knew what kind of terrible magic existed in this land.
So in this environment of war, their team that was moving in the direction of Aichy was abnormally eye-catching. It was easy to be targeted by those who wanted to pick on the weak and then attack. It would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it could even be said that people might die. After all, Li Ke wasn't really omnipotent. If a person died before he arrived, then he really couldn't do anything now.
So they had to move fast, so fast that they would leave this place before others could react.
"The sleds aren't a problem, but the problem is that we haven't been there and don't know the situation there very well … And that person called Aichy, does she really need us to go to her?"
Akaran spread out his hands and made a promise to Cherna about the sleds. But when he said the second half, his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Ke.
However, Li Ke only shook his head slightly because what he was worried about had happened. In the end, their trust in God overwhelmed their rationality, making them feel that they were omnipotent and would do their best to satisfy them.
This had nothing to do with the difference between nations or races. For God, humans would always demand more than they gave.
Unless it was a god of faith.
Of course, the people of Freldrod who had a true God were not as foolish as the stories said. Akalan only wanted to use something precious to him, which was a powerful tribe, to make Li Ke stay. But he was wrong. Just like how a real God didn't care about what you thought, Li Ke didn't care about their thoughts either.
He would help the people here to live a better life, but he would not be a Battle Mother or a leader who would bind himself to this barbaric and backward world. The only thing he could do was to save a group of people and then use his ability to help them obtain some high-yield seeds so that the children wouldn't starve and the adults wouldn't cry over a few potatoes.
Moreover, they were completely supported by outsiders. They had never experienced blood and fire, and the people below didn't desire peace. No matter how powerful they were, they were nothing more than elegant flowers.
Some things shouldn't be done by outsiders like him.
"First of all, you have to understand that Lord Li Ke doesn't intend to rule over you. He only wants to bring people who want to live to leave this place and go to a place where it's easier to survive. Even the stupidest person should understand that an existence like him shouldn't demand too much, right? "
Cherna knocked on the table. Although with her knowledge, she also felt that a powerful tribe was the best, but since her God didn't think so, then she would listen to his will and let those who couldn't see clearly understand that her God didn't want to do so.
"We can give our loyalty and lives!"
A man who looked to be in his thirties stood up and shouted excitedly. Because ever since he saw Li Ke conjuring potatoes out of the mud yesterday, his mind was completely filled with this miracle. He was superstitious to begin with, and just like Cherna, Akalan, and the others, he thought that he should follow this great existence and not the reincarnation of Avarosa.
But what was interesting was that before Li Ke's miracle appeared, he was a firm supporter of Aichy and had always believed that Aichy was the reincarnation of Avarosa.
But it was obvious that his words had the taste of forcing Li Ke to abdicate. And Cherna also saw it clearly, so in order to prevent more people from saying such things in this place and making Li Ke unhappy, she immediately said her words loudly to wake up those who thought of something.
"Don't ask others to do anything, Falconer Lacy's son. You have lost your mind."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Ke, and Li Ke also woke up from his thoughts and knocked on the table.
"Speed up the operation and arm the men as much as possible. You can't always rely on me to survive. Although I can win the conditions for you to join Aichy's tribe, under the premise that I will leave, you have to learn more to ensure your lives are secure … Well, that's it. Cherna, come with me, I have something that I need your help with."
Li Ke expressed his understanding that they wanted him to stay and expressed his rejection. After all, if his thoughts were correct, then Freldrod wouldn't be hungry anymore. The biggest source of motivation that they yearned to leave behind would naturally not exist anymore.
"As you wish."
Cherna nodded and then stood in front of Li Ke when the others left regretfully. Li Ke didn't have the slightest intention of delaying. He looked at the hundreds of people who were busy because of his words, and he didn't feel the joy of power at all. All he saw was a heavy responsibility, and the reality and cruelty of this world.
Especially the children, they felt that they had recovered from their sadness after regaining their tribe. Although it was obvious that they weren't as happy as before, but when they were preparing to eat and helping the adults with work, they could still hear their laughter.
"I need you to find me some people who know how to farm, I need their help."
Li Ke didn't know how to farm, and some of the skills were only hearsay, so if he didn't combine them with reality, he was bound to take a lot of detours and waste a lot of time.
Besides, there was nothing else he could do now.
After all, no one would let a god do ordinary work.
