Chapter 676 Help
"What about the hunters' union, which has strongly co-opted the whole country? What about the integration of military hunting? Isn't it a disaster that has left the whole country on all sides? Nie Xiaoyang grumbled while waving the short knife in his hand fiercely, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on the ivy in front of him. An extraordinarily thick rattan was cut down by the roots, awakening the moths lying on it, and the insects fluttered to their feet, looking for another place to live.
Similar to the supply depot where the hunters stayed, the garrisons on the periphery of the Emerald Tower were mostly too busy to take care of themselves, and there was no way to give the small hunters additional shelter. Today, there are still more than a dozen poachers' airships roaming the hunting grounds, and the foreign visitors who have landed hastily are in a dilemma, unable to return or go further into the ruins to follow the trail of the golden lion. So early in the morning, the young people had to go out on the orders of the stationmaster to chop ivy and gather materials for the further camouflage of the airship.
"It's not fair to say this, Ryan Yelu's national strength is not as good as yours, and the current system is already our best choice." The young hunter who spoke was called Miike, and he was temporarily sent by the supply station to act as a guide for the small hunting group, "Otherwise, no matter if there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster in the territory, the number of people that the kingdom can gather will be reduced by 30% compared to the current one." We are not like Scarlet, where we don't have tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline to guard. Besides, do you know how many ancient dragon habitats there are in the territory of Ryan Yelu? β
The hunter team guarding the fierce land cannot be easily mobilized even if there is a danger of losing the country, and this is the heavy burden that really drags down the eastern country. The dual status criterion is the threshold that prevents some adventurers from becoming hunters, but it is also it that allows the kingdom to use its limited manpower in more places under existing conditions.
"Haven't you ever thought about what you would do if natural and man-made disasters come together?" Xiao Yang tied up the cut rattan and threw it into the basket behind him.
"After all, this time is a special case, if there is a sudden earthquake in Golden Feather City, isn't Scarlet still in chaos?" Jia Xiao said. Regardless of the size of the country's strength, no matter which country is equally vulnerable in the face of natural disasters.
Thinking of the disaster in Border Town, Michi's eyes dimmed: "My father and aunt's family live in Border Town...... You're from the disaster area, what is the evacuation rate of the town this time? β
"To be honest, we don't know." Jia Xiao smiled apologetically. The small hunting group was in a hurry and did not wait for the summary commission report. Until the young people boarded the airship, the outside of Armor Town was still intermittently accepting victims from near the border town, and the patrol range of the hunters was also expanding again and again, "However, Your Highness has set up a temporary communication station outside the town, if you are worried about your relatives, it is better to go back to the camp and send a letter to Armor Town." β
"The letter birds in the camp can only contact the department in the royal city that specializes in the Emerald Tower. When the supply ships are not docked, the hunting grounds are isolated, and it is a surprise to get some news from you. The young hunter smiled wryly.
"What does it matter?" Xiong Fuji said boldly, "We have a universal letter bird on our airship, why don't we just go back to the supply station and use it for you?" This is a trivial matter, and the regiment commander will definitely not refuse. β
"Emerald Tower...... Has the name changed to Xishu? Feng Manyun said secretly in his heart. The white-clothed hunter was busy not far away, but his ears didn't miss the discussion around him. The same precarious pass, the same blockage of transportation and communications, the hunters of the Western Warriors were limited in time of the year to return to Locklac. It was not so much for security reasons as it was for the sake of isolating the camp.
Thinking like this, the Xishu hunter touched his backhand behind him, and the ivy that had just been cut down was gone. Feng Manyun looked around, but saw that Xiao Mei Ke was dragging a bundle of rattans larger than his own and struggling to follow him.
"I was wrongββ!" Without waiting for Feng Manyun to speak, Xiao Ailu preemptively reviewed, the orc's voice was crisp, and the aftermath resounded clearly in the forest.
The white-clothed hunter's gaze lingered on him for only a second, and he strode away without looking back.
Meralo hurried to catch up with her master, and the ivy dragged a long scratch on the ground, stopping in front of Feng Manyun. Xiao Mei Ke made a deep gesture, and when she raised her head again, a pair of alert eyes became round and bright: "I'm sorryββ! β
"Thrown away." Feng Manyun said as he tested the strength of the ivy beside him with his hand.
"What throw away...... Ai Lu was stunned for a second before realizing what the owner was referring to. He took a deep breath, and the flattering expression on his face instantly turned into an unloveable iron blue, "Ah...... My Wood Heaven! β
As soon as the words came out, the white-clothed hunter's face darkened, and Xiao Meike hurriedly changed her words: "No, I didn't mean that!" It's just a bunch of broken leaves, and if you lose it, you lose it. I promise, never again before the commission is over - phew! β
Feng Manyun's short knife grazed Ailu's scalp, slashing the rattan with a "duh" thud and slashing deep into the trunk of the tree. The blade is half a finger deep in the wood, and the sawdust scatters in all directions. Little Eru was startled, her ears stood up, and the hair on the top of her head also shuddered, and she couldn't speak anymore.
Seeing Mei Ke's silent appearance, Feng Manyun helplessly rolled up the rattan in his hand: "This is a hunting ground, not a bar where you can act recklessly." Did you know that if you had been tasked with guarding the game, you might have killed the entire hunting group? β
The prohibition of alcohol during the commission period is equally effective for the accompanying Ailu and the hunters. As a rule, the authenticity of all the observation records that Xiaomei can handle on the airship will be reassessed. This means that nearly half of all the letters sent by the Little Hunter to Armor Rock will be invalidated. Regiment Leader Qin stayed up almost all night until dawn, when he re-added and deleted the observation records and completed the sorting and re-organization, and sent letters to the trade union branches involved to update them one by one.
"You're going to fire me? β¦β¦ You're not going to leave me, are you? Cheekily rubbed into the airship of the little hunting group, Meralu was actually in a constant state of panic, lest the master and the head of the group find some reason to throw herself off the ship, just like the other hunting groups she followed. In order to show his usefulness, he even grabbed the job that didn't belong to him, maybe only in this way could he slightly dispel the sense of crisis in his heart, "I obviously just want to do more......" Mei Ke snorted.
Little Ailu lowered the rattan rope and pulled the white hunter's trouser legs, pointing her flesh to the south. The Emerald Tower exposes the upper half of the tower at the top of the treetops, I don't know if it is a little closer, or the relationship between the trees, the tower is really glowing with dark green light, like a jade rough stone that goes straight to the sky.
"This is the Emerald Tower, the most spectacular ancient ruins on the continent, and I never dreamed that I would actually set foot in this hunting ground. There are also golden lions, ancient dragon species...... These days, it's the first time I've had an adventure so close to this level. Mei Ke said, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, as if he had forgotten that he was the only one stranded in the border town during the trip to the volcano of the Little Hunting Group, "After seeing this kind of hunter life, I can't be willing to return to Golden Feather City, and return to the days of making a living on short-term employment." So don't drive me away, okay? β
"Oh......" Xiao Ailu's voice didn't make Feng Manyun's face change in the slightest, and the white-clothed hunter made a sound in response, and the hand that tied the rattan continued to be busy.
"Huh?" Seeing that Xiaozhi didn't get a reaction from the Xishu hunters, Mei Ke had no other way. Little Ailu's eyes were skeptical, and she wondered if she should simply let go of the last bit of reserve, hugged her master's thigh, and cried "I don't want to be driven away".
Before Mela Lu could choose the angle to hug her legs, Jia Xiao's voice came from the other side of the collection team: "Little guy, whether it's a border town or an airship, I can understand the mood of wanting to do good deeds, but you have to do it in the right way." If you want to be an entourage, Meralou's actions will not work in any hunting group. β
Mei Ke nodded obediently to be taught, but his eyes were staring at the bound materials, and he did not pay attention to his master.
Xiao Yang on the side finally couldn't hold back himself, and laughed and said: "It's up to you or Meralu, the opportunity can't be sought, it depends on the performance!" Manifestation! β
"Got it!" Little Elu finally woke up from a dream. It leaped forward, grabbed the ivy bundle that was tied in Feng Manyun's hand, and held it high above its head. After landing on the ground, Mei Ke's legs trembled, and it took a few stumbles to stabilize his body, and he looked at Feng Manyun flatteringly with material several times larger than his head.
Still unable to resist Xiao Mei's expectant eyes, the white-clothed hunter let out a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed the orc with the rattan, and threw it into his back basket without saying a word.
"Huh...... Huh? The ivy was wet and tough, and Mera easily poked her head out of the basket, the fur on her head was already wet with dew, and she looked up and saw only a black back of her head and a slender knife hanging from her back.
"I don't care what kind of personality you used to be, since you're already with Ailu, let me demand myself according to the standards of a hunter." Feng Manyun's voice came vaguely, he thought for a while, and added, "And this commission, your remuneration is canceled." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The cat's nose was closed one by one, and the red leaves of Mu Tianzhi sniffed and sniffed on the tip of the nose before reluctantly putting it back into the waist bag. The little hunters hid all night in fear in the supply depot, the stove could not be born in the tent, and everyone could not even eat a mouthful of hot food. In addition, the female Ailu slept all night under the bright light, and now she was still sleepy, and could only barely rely on the fragrance of the leaves to refresh herself.
In the camp, Qin Shuiyu and Xiao Zuoqing have been struggling for a long time with a thick folder, and in the hands of the hunters are the exchange and observation records of the supply station in recent days, and the original records are based on the principle of no matter how big or small, if you want not to miss important information, you have to check it word by word.
"Commander, Qing'er, have you found anything?" Shentu Miaoling pushed open the tent door with her elbow, holding a tall stack of documents in her hand, and staggered into the tent.
"There aren't many sightings of animal tides and thunderstorms, most of them concentrated yesterday." Zuo Qing raised her head from the paperwork and blinked vigorously. A young girl struggling to cope with the endless paperwork was already exhausted by the moment, "The most recent one happened just before we landed, golden, close to the camp, but not large, far from the ancient dragon level. β
"Is there only the golden lion...... the female archer put the paperwork on the table and said worriedly, "We have chased so far, why is there still no news of the unicorn, we won't lose it halfway, right?" β
"No, the size and frequency of the beast tide along the way are not much different from the information provided by Yoda. Gu Long should still be walking with the Golden Lion, maybe it just didn't take place. The regiment commander said widely, "These documents are ...... again."
"I heard that we are tracking the ancient dragon species, and the stationmaster specially allocated it to us." Shentu Miaoling wiped the sweat from her forehead, "It's all the records of the camp earlier, as well as the information exchanged from the nearby supply depot, maybe it will be of some help." β
The supply depot is to be ready to move at all times, and in order to reduce the burden, only the original logs of the last two months will be kept, which is already all the information that the camp can get its hands on. Despite complaining about the untimely visit of the Little Hunting Group, Dry Horse still did his best to facilitate the Little Hunting Group, I don't know whether it was to care about the juniors or to take care of the royal flag on the airship.
"Did you get a reply from the union?" Looking closely, the little leader's eyes are still covered with bloodshot from last night to now.
"Thankfully, all the information has been corrected." The female archer smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, there is no shortage of rewards for the hunting group, but if he can take the initiative to punish himself, maybe he and that Meralo really have some fate." β
"I mean the ...... with Scarlet," the head of the regiment asked in a low voice, "have we contacted Instructor Anfei?" β
Almost as soon as they got on the ship, the small hunting group sorted out Ryan Yelu's information and sent a copy to Master Anfei and the union system, mentioning the kingdom, Shentu Miaoling's face sank: "There is no response yet." But the head of the regiment ...... Is our approach really good? The information was transmitted back to the headquarters, which was equivalent to giving the union another reason to meddle in the affairs of the state. β
"Sister Miao Ling, what kind of reaction Locklac will make, this is not a question we should consider." The female head shook her head, "Along the way, the letter bird has to be rotated at more than a dozen stations, and what I'm worried about is that it won't be delivered in time. At present, there are tens of thousands of civilians in Ryan Yelu who need to be resettled, large areas of hunting grounds have been destroyed, poachers have infiltrated half of the kingdom, and no matter which hunting group is here, it is obliged to report it in time. β
"It's just that how many times has His Highness Yoda mentioned to us that he doesn't want Locklac to set foot again, and I'm afraid it's ...... to do so," said the Huntress Waiting.
"Betraying a friend? Not really. The hammerman smiled and patted his companion's arm, "Trust me, we're helping him by doing this." β
"Master, the sound of the propeller...... "The sound of the wind outside the tent came from far and near, and the cat raised its head alertly, "Is our ship coming back from its cruise?" β
"The covert work is only half done, and the airship will not take off at this time." The regimental commander lifted the curtain of the tent and poked his head out, "There won't be any other boats in the camp, right?" β
