Chapter 1163: escape

Joan was about to ask Clark what was to be entrusted to him, and suddenly heard the sound of arguing in the next room.
The two wooden houses were only separated by a wall, and the quarrel came through the gap in the wooden wall. Even if Joan did not deliberately eavesdrop, he could hear that these two big voices belonged to Uncle Logan and Hakon respectively.
Through only a few words, Joan roughly guessed why the father and the son had a dispute. Looking back at Clark on the bed, he could not help sighing secretly.
He barely pretended to be casual, and said to Frost Giant: "Brother Clark, your body has not fully recovered. While there is still some time now, take a good rest, I will help you get some food."
Clark seemed to have seen through his mind and smiled thoughtfully.
"Brother Joan, when you go out, you will tell Elder Hunt my intentions."
Qiao Anqiang nodded bitterly and walked out of the room. He first found Audrey and asked her to send some food to the ward. After walking outside the room where the quarrel was heard, she knocked twice.
The quarrel in the room disappeared immediately. After a few seconds, Slood opened the door and saw Joan's first look. His pretty face couldn't help but appear guilty. He wanted to say something, but it was hard to tell.
Joan entered the room and saw Logan, Haakon, Elder Hunt and Captain Stone sitting around the table.
Ha Kang was angry, and the other three were helpless and frowned.
"Uncle Logan, it's inconvenient for me to reveal to me, what are your plans next?" Qiao An asked immediately.
Logan hesitated for a moment and finally spoke his mind in the face of the young Master's clear eyes.
"Joan, the residents of Elk Town are all my siblings. How can I watch my compatriots being slaughtered by evil forces? I came to Elk Town this time and was sent by the Council of Elders to try to lead the local residents to seek refuge in Shizhu Town. Although Dongbao is powerful, he dare not openly face up with us in Shizhu Town."
Even if you can’t keep Elk Town, it’s good to keep the lives of the residents in the town. Joan agrees with the decision of the Elder Council of Shizhu Town, but it is not so easy to evacuate safely under the heavy encirclement of the Winter Castle.
Elder Hunt seemed to see the doubts in Joan’s eyes and lowered his voice, saying:
There is a secret tunnel in the town, leading to the opposite side of the Honey Wine River ten miles away. If we are cautious enough, we should be able to lead before alerting the gangsters outside the city. All the townspeople and Captain Stone’s company fled the encirclement."
"In fact, when we dug this secret passage to prevent the colonists from invading, we never expected that we would share this escape tunnel with the colonists' troops one day." Elder Hunt said in a mixed mood.
Ha Kang looked at his father's face, then looked at Joan, and finally couldn't hold it back.
"Joan, since all the residents of the town will evacuate to Shizhu Town to take refuge, I can't leave Mr. Heiner alone, okay? But my dad refused to take him, you come to judge, is this right? It's too much!"
"Your kid fart doesn't understand, just say a few words!"
Logan gave his son an angry look.
Ha Kang was still not convinced and was about to refute, but was stopped by Joan.
"Hakang, I agree with Uncle Logan's decision. Under the current circumstances, Brother Clark is not suitable for taking refuge in Shizhu Town. In fact, this is exactly what Brother Clark thought."
Haakon still couldn't understand why everyone should treat Clark Henil so coldly, but Joan said that this was Clark's own decision, and he had nothing to say, he could only sigh in frustration.
"Joan, please convey my apology to Mr. Heiner, and thank you for his understanding." Logan said in a mixed mood.
Joan nodded, and Uncle Logan's pains were completely understandable.
The relationship between Shizhu Town and Dongbao is quite subtle. It is between the enemy and the friend. Both sides do not have enough strength to completely destroy the other side, and also have to take into account other hostile forces. Therefore, they have maintained the situation that the well water does not violate the river for many years.
The main purpose of Dongbao’s siege of Elk Town this time was to hunt down Clark and seize the
Koschurch Collar
. The reason why it is so far is that Elk Town insisted on sheltering Clark and angered the father and son of Lord Lord Wintercastle. The Giant Colossus" publicly declared that it would completely destroy Elk Town.
In fact, the father and son of Trim had little hatred for Elk Town and made the decision to destroy this town, one for exhalation and the other for Liwei.
When Elk Town was turned into ruins under the trample of the "Ice Barrier Colossus", Winter Castle had already achieved the goal of Liwei, and the wickedness of the father and son of Trim was probably more than half.
Uncle Logan led the residents of Elk Town to seek refuge in Shizhu Town, although it would make Trim and his son unhappy, but it did not touch the core interests of Winter Castle, and it was not worth killing this group of refugees and Shizhu Town.
So, what are the core interests of Winter Castle?
It's the "Kostchurch Collar" that Clark carried with him!
Trim and Son are likely to compromise on other issues, but this matter cannot be compromised!
Winter Castle will kill Clark at all costs and win the "Koschi Collar".
If Shizhu Town took Clark, it would be a violation of Wintercastle’s core interests, forcing the father and son of Trim to have no way back, and had to completely turn their faces, causing Wintercastle and Shizhu Town to start a full-scale war.
For a frost giant who is not a relative, and caused his own home to be involved in war, is it worthwhile for countless people to sacrifice for this?
For all the residents of Shizhu Town, the answer is obviously no.
What's more, today's encounter in Elk Town is a lesson.
Taking into account the various consequences, Shizhu Town will never open the door to Clark Henil and cure him for "winter madness" for free, which is the maximum help.
Joan will compare his heart and feel that the decisions made by the Elder Council of Shizhu Town are blameless. For Uncle Logan, he has no complaints, only gratitude.
Ha Kang may have different views on this, but this can only show that he is too simple and kind, and he can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, so that he seems a bit uncomfortable.
It is a pity that the world he lives in is not only diametrically opposed to black and white, good and evil, many times people have to make compromises, otherwise they simply cannot survive in this complex and cruel world.
Leaving aside these distractions for the time being, Joan relayed Clark's plans to Elder Hunt, Captain Stone and the Logan family.
Everyone was deeply moved by the awe-inspiring spirit of the frost giant's awe-inspiring sacrifice, but it was a bit unbearable, but as Joan said, Clark had to go out of Elk Town in public to attract the winter castle army outside the city and the "Ice Barrier Colossus" , So as to get more time for the townspeople to escape.
