Chapter 186: What Now?

Chapter 186: What Now?

Brown climbed out of the mud pit and looked through the fence at the cart drivers who were arriving one after another, his face suddenly turning extremely grim.

"Hurry up and let us in, Rick, I see you! Open the gate quickly!"

"Help us! We don't even want our pay, just open the gate!"

"The Thorn Merchant Guild sent us over, and now the murlocs are chasing us again! Open the gate quickly!"

"Little John, I know you're inside! Open the gate for me!"

"The murlocs are coming..."

"..."

He never expected that Bay Territory, which had struck first, would let these defenseless cart drivers go.

They didn't kill them to vent their anger and throw the bodies into the swamp to cover it up.

Nor did they capture them as hostages to bargain with the Carlisle family or turn them into slaves.

Instead, they maliciously sent them straight to the camp.

The camp already had more than 5,000 people, with about a week's worth of supplies stored.

The transport team delivered supplies every three days, and even in the case of an accident, the camp could hold out until the next supply team arrived.

Now, it was the third day, and there were only four days of supplies left in the camp.

If they took in nearly 1,700 more cart drivers, the supplies would only last for three days for the whole camp.

With Bay Territory watching them so closely, it was certain they would block any reinforcements or supply teams.

By then, the camp would be out of food and water!

But if they didn't let the cart drivers in, the soldiers, who had relatives and friends among them, would certainly be upset.

If a riot broke out, they might collapse on their own before Bay Territory even launched an attack.

"Using devious methods to mobilize the murlocs for an attack and seize all the supplies."

"Then turning the defenseless cart drivers into burdens and dumping them on the camp."

"It seems that Bay Territory has already prepared for the consequences."

"If the camp strikes back, they will definitely fall into a trap, and by initiating an attack, they would be at a disadvantage according to the rules."

"But if we do nothing, Bay Territory can just wait and starve them out without lifting a finger!"

"Unless, while we still have some food and resources left, we flee the camp with everyone, handing over the ruins we're about to excavate!"

"Ruthless! Cunning!"

The more clearly Brown thought about it, the uglier his face became.

Seeing the soldiers around him start to grow anxious, Hawk frowned and leaned in to whisper through gritted teeth:

"How about we gather our forces now, make the first move, and wipe out Bay Territory's transport team..."

Hawk's idea was simple.

Even though Bay Territory hadn't left much evidence, once the fighting started, nothing would be clear-cut anymore.

In the end, it would come down to strength!
