Volx, Tam, and Nerphyl glanced at each other, they decided for Nerphyl to be the spokesperson for the three of them. Nerphyl alighted on Tam's head and began to speak.
"Beforehand Ku, I want to make sure to what extent you know the current condition of the monsters" said Nerphyl with a formal intonation.
Nerphyl is always good at choosing vocabulary and the intonation of the voice that she uses according to the place and ti, when Moku is leading as a Ku then Nerphyl always calls him KuMoku or Ku, when Moku is in a state of being her husband Nerphyl always calls him by the na Moku.
Coincidentally Moku chose Kabau as his family na which ans buffalo. He wanted to rember where he ca from and where his hotown was. Even though Moku can no longer go ho, at least he can make a new family in this world.
Moku nodded and started to say whatever Boku had told him. He knew all the trouble this caravan was facing and the dangers of Glittering adow. Moku just doesn't know the two routes the search team has found.
Making sure that there wasn't any information that Moku didn't know yet, Nerphyl started to add "The search teams have currently managed to find two routes to get to Wolf Slope Mountain. I'll explain the pros and cons of these two routes.
The first route is a route that passes through the swamps, we will descend along the river and then circle the swamp before turning back and continuing our journey by following the creek until we reach Wolf Slope Mountain.
The main pro of the route is that there are no dangerous mutated animals along the route, there are only a few copper and iron tier dangers that the orcs can defeat without you having to intervene against them. This route also passes through areas that are not covered with snow when winter arrives.
The cons of this route is that the journey will be further because we have to take a detour around the swamp. Even though when we are swamped we already out of Glittering adow but as we will still enter it to turn around and follow the creek to Wolf Slope Mountain.
The second route is one that follows the creek that goes straight up Wolf Slope Mountain. The search team managed to find a large river which is the confluence of several tributaries. By following this big river we will get to Wolf Slope Mountain faster.
The pro of this route is that the travel distance is faster. Although we still have to pass Glittering adow but we will not linger in this adow too long because we do not need to go around the swamp.
The cons of this route is that after passing through Glittering adow we will imdiately encounter snowy and steep roads. Then the number of mutated animals that live in that place is unknown. We don't know if there is a King Territory there or not, but from so mutated animals that the search team can investigate, if there is a King, he is a solitary mutated animal that doesn't live in a colony."
Nerphyl steady her hyperventilation after speaking with just two breaths. She didn't want to waste ti pausing on each sentence. The problems facing the monster caravan right now were very complicated, they didn't know when the humans would co after them. Even if they could survive human pursuit, The King whose territory the orcs had harass would kill them first.
Nerphyl knows that Moku is able to fight a gold tier danger mutated animal alone and maybe with his current strength Moku can face a platinum tier danger mutated animal. However, the title The King is not only given to gold and platinum tier danger mutated animals, but also to mithril, orichalcum, and admantitie tier danger mutated animals.
And if The King of Glittering adow is an orichalcum or admantitie tier danger mutated animal, then it is certain that the monster species will beco extinct if they attacking them.
Moku understood their predicant so he worked his brain quickly and thought through all the route options in detail. Moku also activates his inner eye to sharpen his intuition, sotis the best choice doesn't co from logic but from intuition.
The three monsters were silent and didn't move at all, they didn't want to disturb Moku who was thinking about the life and death decisions of all the monsters. They remained patiently waiting until a few minutes later Moku opened his mouth.
"We will take the second route" replied Moku curtly.
"The route that is faster but dangerous because it has to pass through a snowy road with an unknown number of mutated animals," Nerphyl re-confird it.
"That's right" Moku nodded in approval.
Nerphyl frowned, while Tam and Volx glanced at each other.
Nerphyl then lowered her head and said "Ku, I don't want to question your decision, but I'm just wondering why you chose that route?"
Moku smiled and said softly "Nerphyl you don't have to hesitate, I will explain" Moku took a shell filled with water and drank it to moisten his throat. After that Moku started to speak in a more serious tone.
"Ever since I first discovered Glittering adow I've started to feel strange. Animals living and grazing happily without the slightest bit of wariness of predators that will eat them is an unusual sight.
Then the growth of grass that becos their food and a clear river without crocodiles lurking in it will be a heavenly sight for the herbivorous animals. At first I wanted to move the Dawnmist Tribe to this place, but my hunch was that this place wasn't heaven but a cattle pen prepared for harvest.
I've been looking for who rules this place from end to end, but I can't find any mutated animals or predatory animals. It was only in the swamp where I found a giant gorilla that I nad Stugo. However, Stugo also doesn't seem to dare to enter Glittering adow and just stays in his swamp.
After hearing about The King Territory from Boku I confird that Glittering adow has a colony of mutated animals ruling it. However, this raises several questions.
Who are they?
Glittering adow is very wide, even the half area of this place is wider than the territory of each of the monster races combined. So that it can be said that any colony that controls this place has a large number as well.
Why do they leave this place alone and let herbivores gather in here?
The number of animal colonies that live in this place is sufficient to et the orc's food needs for the whole years. Coupled with their rapid growth if left unchecked will make the vast Glittering adow overpopulated. So it would be strange if the rulers of this region did not carry out regular harvests, not only would they allow the Glittering adow ecosystem to be damaged they also squandered the opportunity to gather at because the animals will migrated when food shortages happen.
How did they get to this place?
Glittering adow is a large place but the ground is so flat that there is no place to hide except in the underground or flying in the sky. But if they were indeed capable of flying or diving into the ground then they should still be on regular hunts, so the other orcs and I must have seen their form. Consequently, that they are not from the air or underground but they can not co to this place because sothing is hindered.
The only thing that could prevent the countless colonies of mutated animals from coming to this place was the sa thing that split Glittering adow in two, naly The Great River. With a width and depth that we cannot asure, The Great River is like the sea that separates two islands.
When the barrier disappear so they can begin the harvest?
The answer is winter.
Although Glittering adow will not be covered in heavy snow and make The Great River freeze, it is a different story if the main channel of The Great River freezes. As we know, every river in Glittering adow cos from The Great River, while The Great River itself cos from the headwater in Wolf Slope Mountain. If the headwater in Wolf Slope Mountain freeze, the water level in The Great River will decrease and the rivers in Glittering adow will dry up. That's when they will do the harvest.
What makes mutated animals and other predators so afraid to hunt in Glittering adow?
If we look at the number of animal colonies that live in Glittering adow, their numbers will not decrease too much if they are preyed on by other predators before harvest ti cos. For the example, the orcs who knew nothing about The King Territory would go on a massive hunt every day.
However, in reality there are no mutated animals or any predatory animals that dare to approach Glittering adow. Even Stugo who is a gold tier danger mutated animal only dares to live in a swamp which is quite far from this place.
This oddity led to conclude that the animals living in Glittering adow were never touched because they were a barrier. Barriers that prevent the mutated animal colony from looking for prey outside of Glittering adow.
Their fear of this mutated animal colony led to conclude that The King of Glittering adow was mithril or orichalcum with gold and silver tier danger mutated animals in large numbers in their colony.
That's why I chose the second route because what we have to prioritize right now is to get away from Glittering adow as soon as possible before the winter arrives.
Because Glittering adow is a table full of offerings for The King and unfortunately we have already eaten so of those offerings" Moku's voice was filled with gloom.
The faces of the three monsters who heard it turned deathly pale.
