Chapter 670: I won''t!


    Elsie''s proposal received support from everyone. A few nobles chimed in, "Yes, moving wealth away to avoid the ck dragon is better than fighting it head-on."


    The dwarf leader added, "The steam engine must be moved away. It''s more precious than any wealth, and the ck dragon will surelye to steal it."


    The elf elder added, "The paper mill and printing nt must be moved away. This is the real wealth. If I were the ck dragon, I would loot these two ces first."


    Robb scoffed andughed, "Shut up and do what you need to do. I won''t stop you from moving your wealth because everyone has their own goals and ideas. But if you want me to order the entire city''s assets to be moved, forget it."


    It was impossible for Robb to order the transfer of the city''s assets!


    He had been ying this simtion city game for more than three years, and he had finally achieved the size and condition it was in now. If he were to move its assets now, it would be aplete disaster.


    A developing city cannot be separated from its capital.


    The key to making a big city is the effect of hoarding. If all the wealth in the city is moved to the countryside to avoid an attack, it will cause a significant blow to the entire city''s economy. Although it''s only a year, how many years will it take to recover from the nk space of a year?


    "My mind is made up. Don''t try to persuade me anymore." Robb snorted, "You can move your things, but you must do it quietly. Move them in the middle of the night to avoid causing chaos and panic in the city. Don''t cause the people to imitate you, or I will find trouble with you."


    The several trusted subordinates looked at each other, and they saw deep worries in each other''s eyes. But Robb''s attitude was firm, and they couldn''t persuade him any further. They had to leave temporarily and hold a small meeting in Baron Nuolun''s estate to secretly discuss what to do next.


    Robb saw them leaving together in the same direction and knew they were going to discuss what to do next. However, he couldn''t be bothered to deal with this kind of thing, so he let them go and mess around on their own.


    Just as he was about to stretch his muscles and go soak in a hot spring, the crystal ball on the table suddenly lit up.


    Robb answered the phone and immediately saw the beautiful face of the Queen.


    "As soon as the phone connected, the queen spoke quickly, "It''s autumn!''


    Robb was amused as he knew that she was going to talk about the same thing. "Okay, are you here to remind me that 1348 is almost here?"


    "Exactly!" The queen said, "So, the wild andwless Robb also knows how to calcte the Year of the ck Dragons flight."


    Robb shrugged. "I wasn''t going to, but arge group of people came to remind me today. I can''t help but count it now. And yes, you''re one of them."


    The queen fell silent.


    It was an awkward moment, but the queen wasn''t one to shy away from them. A few secondster, she regained herposure and asked, "Are the nobles on your side beginning to be unstable and leaving?"


    Robb nodded. "Yes, some are taking their wealth and running, some are taking their steam engines, and there''s an old man who wants to move the paper and printing factories. It''s insane."


    The queen burst outughing, pping the table. She was hysterical.


    Robb said, "What are youughing about? I''m sure things aren''t much better on your end. After all, Bright Road is a wealthy city."


    For a moment, the queen stoppedughing and sat up straight. She quickly regained herposure, and her face became serious again. It was hard to believe that a second ago she wasughing and hitting the table. Robb was impressed by how easily she could switch between emotions.


    Speaking slowly, the queen said, "The nobles are all moving their things out. At least ten caravans left the city today. I took the opportunity to see how wealthy they are. They''re all rich enough to take on a kingdom."


    Robb shrugged. "They''re rich enough to take on a kingdom? Come on, that''s only because your kingdom is so poor that even a poor noble can rival the kingdom."


    The queen fell silent again.


    Thatment was harsh.


    "I''m poor. So what?" The queen said. "I''m proud of being poor. Being poor is safe. In other years, being poor is shameful, but in the Year of the ck Dragons flight, I can proudly say that no ce in the world is safer than mine."


    Robb was speechless.


    The queenughed again. "But you''re not so lucky. You know how much money you have. As far as I know, there are at least two things in your possession that people want: the steel that you didn''t use for the tank, and the Tree of Life that turned into Life Wood...The ck Dragon is excellent at sniffing out treasure. The chances of it visiting Westwind City are pretty high. I suggest you prepare to run away early."


    Robb was annoyed. "Even you''re telling me to run away? Isn''t there anyone in the world who thinks I can defeat the ck Dragon?" he asked.


    The queen''s smile suddenly disappeared from her face, and it turned pale. In a very sinister tone, she said, "Twenty years ago, I thought the most powerful people in the world were my parents. They had the ability to deal with any enemy in the world. But as you know, my most respected and trusted loved ones were taken away by the ck Dragon in an instant."


    After saying this, her tone began to be filled with sadness. "So, I hope you can escape."


    The weight of these words was heavy, with an unclear emotion attached to them.


    Robb felt the queen''s strong emotional fluctuations, and it seemed that she had something deeper to say, but her pride prevented her from being so clear.


    "Sorry!" Robb shook his head. "I won''t run or hide. I won''t deliberately evacuate valuables either. The city''s development cannot withstand this kind of upheaval every four years. If the ck Dragon reallyes, I''ll cut off its head."


    "Don''t be stubborn!" The queen eximed in a moment of panic, but she quickly realized her mistake and lowered her voice. "I must remind you that the ck Dragon is strong. You should give up this idea."


    "I won''t," Robb replied.


    It''s unknown whether or not Robb can defeat the ck Dragon, but these people advising him not to go are cowardly.


    Robb doesn''t agree!


    For most ordinary yers, it''s not necessary to defeat a powerful boss. Just saying "we''re here to y games, not be yed by games" is enough for them to withdraw naturally.


    But Robb is a hardcore gamer, and don''t underestimate hardcore gamers! The more powerful the boss, the more you should challenge it. If you can''t beat it, then fight like your life depends on it, lose sleep and food just to fight it, level up ande back to fight it again. This is the true nature of a hardcore gamer, and there''s never a reason to give up.
