Chapter 514: A Rescue That Is Not "Complete".

On the whole, the first attack was brilliant, not a single enemy fled, not a single enemy had the opportunity to signal the large forces, and not a single casualty. Advocating life, loving nature, valuing honor, and being kind and pure, the drug of Miss High Priest, the future goddess of life, was a great success. Remember, this is really a drug, and it's Nivea? Miss Lin Ge's own matching, silent, tasteless, formless, and phaseless.

Because it's important, say it twice!

Compared to her previous humble and low-key posture, we can conclude from this, Nivea? Miss Lin Ge is indeed a good elf full of positive energy.

The only regret is that the first and second kills of this attack were actually robbed by Nicole and Viscount Mura, and Lu Xi didn't even grab a single kill. He looked at the unconscious orcs on the ground and waved his hand: "Except for the troll witch doctor, the rest will be stabbed." Also, give the unconscious prisoners of war a little antidote. ”

The so-called antidote, in fact, is also a kind of stimulating medicine prepared by Nicole herself, as long as you put it under the nose and smell it, the sour and refreshing irritating breath will instantly spread to the whole body through the nasal cavity, which can be called a necessary medicine to refresh the mind and strengthen the body. However, the drug is a silent, tasteless, formless, and phaseless dusty powder, while the antidote is to stimulate the sense of smell to produce an effect.

Fortunately, his entanglement, which only he can perceive, did not last long. At the same moment, the friends had already methodically started the next step: to make up for each unconscious orc, to search the enemy's bags for important information, of course. It is also necessary to rescue the detained colleagues. There are wounds bandaged, and the coma is so comatose that the antidote is given. It was also necessary to keep the captives who found themselves rescued as quiet as possible, lest they make too much noise in the excitement. This draws the attention of other enemies.

These jobs are not challenging, but they are very tedious and mechanical, and they belong to the jobs that Lu Xi is most unwilling to do. Fortunately, the sense of responsibility was the proper arrangement of Major Grimmar and Viscount Mura, who were more than nine times his own, but there was no trouble. After a short while, Major Grimmar came over to officially inform Lu Xi that the rescue operation was very successful, and a total of 25 prisoners of war were rescued.

At this time, Major Grimmar's face was very heavy, and there was no joy or excitement at all when the young man had succeeded in his operation. He frowned tightly. It seemed that he had encountered something very difficult, looked at Lu Xi, and stopped talking. Looking closer, several of the older members of the team, such as Lieutenant Emin, the two former Nord adventurers, and the young but battle-hardened Viscount Mura, all had this look of doubt to a greater or lesser extent.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xi asked Major Grimmar.

“…… Several of them were seriously injured and there was basically no chance of healing. Several others lost their legs or hands. Completely crippled. ”

"So what?"

"Well, we found a Lieutenant Colonel Aydral, would you like to have a conversation with him?"

The oldest and highest-ranking of these rescued prisoners of war. It was a lieutenant colonel named Aydral, who was supposed to be almost fifty years old.

After a closer inquiry, it became clear that Lieutenant Commander Aydral was the vice-captain of the battleship Nethriel. In the previous big war. The second-class battleship was set on fire by several one-eyed rays of death, which eventually caused a fatal malfunction in the operation of the Tisru nucleus. The buoyancy and power provided dropped to less than twenty percent of normal. The captain was unable to repair the power system, causing the entire ship to crash into the mountains. Of course. Due to the existence of the Tisru core, the speed at which the ship fell was still gentler than that of a free fall, otherwise it would be impossible for anyone on the entire ship to survive.

Even so, these twenty-five men were the only survivors of the Netherrell with a crew of more than 400 people.

"Anyway, sir, you're safe now." Lu Xi squeezed out a smile that he thought should be very affinity, hoping to ease the other party's mood: "It's rare that you have been able to persist until now, it's really amazing!" ”

"No, it's you, Master Berencaster. To be exact, without what you said before, we would not have been able to hold on to what we are doing until now. Lieutenant Colonel Aydral sighed: "In the end, you have to take action to escape, which is really a gaffe." ”

His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Edral, who is a typical professional soldier, is strict in character, determined, and clear-headed. He was truly remarkable, and after the ship crashed, he gathered the survivors on board as quickly as he could, took a certain amount of necessities and weapons, and rushed out of the encirclement before the enemy forces could close the siege.

He took the few dozen remnants of the defeated army on this ship, fought guerrilla battles with the orcs in the mountains for several days, and after killing and wounding more than 100 enemies, in the end, half of them were killed in battle, and those who survived were also exhausted of ammunition and food, and their spirit and body were at their limit. They were eventually caught in a dead end by this team of orc hundreds, and the whole army was captured. If it weren't for Lu Xi's arrival in time, these soldiers who fought until the last moment might not have escaped the tragic fate of being tortured to death, or even being eaten alive and turned into enemy rations, even if they lost their lives, they would have suffered unimaginable pain and humiliation before they died. In comparison, the crew members who have already fallen to their deaths may be luckier.

Lu Xi looked at these federal soldiers who only had half a life left, and of course they were the first people he rescued in this operation. They are tired, dehydrated, hungry, sick and wounded, and some have not yet fully recovered from their feelings of fear and despair, either hysterical or in a state of panic. The former, Lu Xi, simply used hypnosis to put them down directly, so as not to form a bigger movement. As for the latter, it is not a big deal in normal times, and after a few days you can rest well, and the caster can also reshape her personality through guò magic. But in this situation, where is there time for these wounded to slowly heal?

"Take a good rest, eat something and drink some water. We...... Depart again in two hours. Lu Xi said to Lieutenant Colonel Aydrar.

"No, it's better to go now." The lieutenant colonel immediately shook his head in disapproval: "Master." The orcs and the undead communicate beyond our comprehension. Perhaps this small orc army will also have some magical means and regular conversations with the base camp...... I can't completely deny this possibility, even very likely. Other enemy forces are already heading towards this place. ”

"Are you a little scared?" Lu Xi wanted to ask the other party this, but it was still a little rude to think about it. I could only nod noncommittally.

"However, your current situation ......" Lu Xi looked at the elderly officer. He was left with only his right and left arms, and he had a deep wound in the lower abdomen of his torso, and he couldn't even walk, let alone force a march plus a fight. To put it more ugly, with this uncle's physical condition, once the rapid march starts, even if he suddenly dies on the spot in the next second, there is no sense of disobedience at all. In just now. He is also a member of the orc's "military food team" tonight, if Lu Xi came ten minutes late, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel would probably have become a barbecue on the grill and a big stick and bone in a cauldron.

However, even after being traumatized with such a strict zhòng, and having been so humiliated and frightened before, Lieutenant Colonel Elders only looked a little pale and unhealthy, but his words and bearing still seemed very calm, and he was definitely the kind of pure tough guy uncle who was cool to the bone.

If there are half of the middle and senior officers of the federal army, no. Even if a quarter of this su zhì, the fleet could not have suffered such a crushing defeat. It's a pity that most of our powerful officers are neurotic spellcasters, and I haven't seen the cruel academic nerds and ambitious sons! It's a sad story.

Lu Xi was still thinking about it. But I heard the tough guys and pure men suddenly say in a stern tone and a natural tone: "Those who can't walk, please abandon them." Broken legs and broken hands. I can't fight after that, it's just a burden for everyone. Please keep them as well. ”

Major Grimmar raised his eyebrows, and Viscount Mura looked moved. The two glanced at each other, and each saw each other's expressions of interest.

It took Lu Xi half a minute to react, and he was shocked, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "This ...... Lieutenant colonel, in this way, you also ......"

"Yes, it does include myself." Lieutenant Colonel Aydral nodded calmly.

"If you're joking, I can't laugh at all, and if you're serious, then I must say, Lieutenant Colonel, we're nowhere near this point. If someone really comes, I will find it more than ten kilometers away, which is enough for us to respond at any time. In addition, if you take the nearest route, it will only take seven or eight days at most, so if you stick to it, you can get a good rest when you get there. ”

Lu Xi's words were a little eager, and the reason for the eagerness was not because Mr. Lieutenant Colonel's mention exceeded his expectations, but because when the Lieutenant Colonel's mention came out, he actually had a sense of relief. This feeling made Lu Xi feel that his compulsion had suddenly dropped a lot, making him eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Master, I have not doubted your ability, and I believe your words, since you are willing to risk your life to come back to save us, I am not worried that you will really abandon these incapacitated people to mobilize the wounded. However, ideals are one thing, reality is another. Looking at the tone of your voice just now, I'm afraid that even you didn't have much hope for what you just said, right? ”

If possible, Lu Xi really wanted to make a very serious expression, say more serious words to the other party, and say a few more high-sounding words, but the moment he and the old soldier's gray eyes met, he felt an invisible pressure in his heart for no reason.

A few seconds later, Lu Xi silently showed a self-deprecating smile, and when he spoke again, his tone was unusually cold: "...... Hey, sure enough, in front of a veteran soldier of your type, it's too incomprehensible to talk about hypocrisy. Indeed, as you can see, in order not to attract the attention of the enemy as much as possible, we are not numerous, and we have limited equipment with the supplies we carry on our bodies. It's barely coping now, but in a few days it's not going to be certain. In addition, it is not known what kind of unexpected situations will be encountered along the way: there may be ambushes, or other survivors, but in the final analysis, fighting is inevitable. Indeed, if there are too many companions who do not have the ability to take care of themselves, it will greatly affect our combat effectiveness and will also have a great negative impact on our operation. ”

The lieutenant colonel smiled as if relieved: "Then, what to do next, Master Behrencaster, it is up to you to decide." ”

"I really don't want to make such a decision if I can......"

"But you have to do that." Lieutenant Colonel Aydral patted Lu Xi's shoulder with his only remaining hand, and said softly: "As long as you have the first time, you will not have extra sympathy and compassion when you meet the second and third times later." This kind of kindness may be an irreplaceable wealth for anyone, but it is not suitable for you now, and the current situation. Master Berencaster, you are destined to be a hero and a savior, but you should not be a martyr who guards the good heart but leads everyone to a dead end. ”

Similar stories, similar choices, the protagonists in those previous stories seem to have experienced it. Lu Xi originally thought that if he became the protagonist and it was his turn, there should be extremely complex psychological struggles and emotional entanglements in his heart, but in fact, at this time, he had neither struggle nor entanglement in his heart, let alone the torture and war between reality and conscience, he only felt an unspeakable blank, and only felt that the whole person's spirit and consciousness were struggling in a chaos with no end in sight. He didn't know how long he had been silent, but when he came back to his senses, he found that everyone was standing on him, looking at him quietly, and some people did show expressions of wanting to say and stop, but in the end they didn't speak, waiting for their final choice.

“…… Lieutenant Colonel, what are you going to do? ”

"I stayed, as did all those who were seriously wounded and lacked the ability to move and fight. Just here waiting for the enemy's follow-up reinforcements to come. Master, please help me set up an inducing magic trap so that even if we die, we can still bring a few more cushions. ”

Lu Xi let out a long sigh. It was supposed to be a rescue operation that was completely rescued with zero casualties and could be called a textbook attack, but at the end, it turned into such a completely loveless and strange unfolding? (To be continued......)
