Upon receiving the news, Austin felt as if the Dragon Nest Tribe he had established was on the brink of annihilation under the zombie horde, ready to be swallowed and destroyed at any moment.
However, after careful consideration and weighing the actual situation within the Kawa Great Forest, Austin's tension eased slightly; at least the situation wasn't desperate enough to require immediate escape.
Having painstakingly accumulated this property, fleeing directly would mean forsaking two years of effort. Moreover, even if escape was considered, who could predict if greater dangers would appear along the way?
After spending most of a day, Austin finally devised a counter-plan.
Step one: dispatch elite Beastmen to monitor the movements of the zombie army in the southwest and send several additional squads to ascertain their extent, thus providing reference for Austin's final decision.
