There were quite a number of ideas, but still, White decided to start from the simplest.
"Can we try to negotiate with them?"
He asked Juntar, who was quick to shut the idea down.
"That's impossible. The Hellwraths do not invade kingdoms to take their resources or add to their territories."
"They do so purely for the entertainment of dominance. They enjoy the slaughter, craving it just as a human craves happiness."
"Not even negotiating while putting a blade to each of our own necks would be a good offer for them."
He spoke.
"Well, if negotiation is out, and we're clearly outmatched, then why don't we just try to evacuate the kingdom?"
"Leave before the enemy comes knocking on the gate."
"We can hide away and, when the time comes, come back for revenge or wait for the Hellwraths to get destroyed by some other kingdom."
"The Hellwraths don't take territories, so we'll be able to easily come back once they're done."
He proposed, and Juntar hummed deeply, pulling out a map.
