Chapter 948: Breakthrough (1)
Putting away the Pony Pot, Ann followed Red towards the camp.
On the way, Rhett briefly said the general situation of the present, which can be described by the word "life hanging by a thread".
It turned out that they were raided by the Steelback Knights last night, and there were only more than 300 people left in the team, so they were scattered and fled in two groups.
Gru and Blue, along with most of the players who came to help, were with Lionheart's eldest son, and the rest were here, under the command of Lionheart's youngest son.
The situation is indeed very critical, and the already small amount of combat power is divided into two parts, and once it is attacked again, it can basically be packed up and found a place to bury.
"Bishop Murman said that you can ask for help like Ann, and then I remembered that you have a way to deal with the attacking army, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly"
Bishop Moorman? Do I know each other?
An Yizhi didn't have any impression of the name Bishop Murman in his mind at all, but the Temple of Dawn once sent a team of 100 people composed of holy warriors and priests to help the two sons of King Lionheart, presumably from the Temple of Dawn.
They all knew An Yizhi, after all, An Yizhi pointed out that entering the Temple of Dawn was like his own home, and it was impossible not to know him.
"I accepted Bishop Tolan's commission to follow the clues to find the Seventeen Northern Counties, and I happened to be at the hotel in Lesa County when you texted."
After explaining, An Yizhi asked:
"By the way, when did you get here?"
Ann Yizhi has no clue about finding the two sons of the Lionheart, and Red has obviously participated in the pinnacle competition before, why did he come here after not seeing him for a few days?
"Invited, originally when Naua's city fell, some players ran out with the troops, and they contacted through text messages, and the people who came to help were more trustworthy."
An Yizhi suddenly realized, no wonder some players were so well-informed, and directly found the two sons of the Lionheart to come and help.
The method is similar to the 'Theory of Six-Degree Separation', which simply means that everyone in the world is indirectly known through the friends of friends.
In other words, how is this method similar to a pyramid scheme......
In any case, the players who come here to help out bring in friends in this way, forming a big help. If it weren't for the player's help, Lionheart's two sons would have been caught and publicly executed by Lopwen.
I have to say that King Lionheart is indeed famous, and players who can't afford to make profits come over to help convincingly, which shows his personality charm.
But personality charm is not omnipotent, there are still a few players who come to help, and the army mobilized by Lopwen's side, even if it is only the small soldiers and two elite knights who are placed behind to defend the city, is completely enough to strangle them effortlessly.
Anyway, it's okay for players to help, but the problem is that players always go offline, what should players do when they come? Every time you go offline, you will look at the camp location again with An Yizhi like this?
Red pointed to the carriage used as a fortification, which the players used for players who were offline, and as long as they took it with them when they ran away, it would appear in the carriage when the player went online again.
As for how do NPCs understand that the player disappears after entering the carriage......
Forget it, the game, why do you want to do so much......
"Are you still planning to continue fighting guerrillas in the rear of Lopwen?"
"I don't know, at first we thought we would get any benefit, but in the past two days, Guang was chased and ran."
Speaking of this, Red was very depressed, originally thought that he could get something good in this mission to enhance his combat effectiveness, but when he went to the place, he learned that many players consciously worked for day jobs to help, and the only gain was Blue.
He is the priest of the sun god Pero, and there is the temple of Pero behind him, and he came to help the two sons of King Lionheart calculate the tasks of the temple, and when he turns back, he can go to the temple to order rewards.
As for the others...... At present, I have received some game currency as a military salary.
"I guess I'm already studying how to break through and retreat, anyway, I don't think that just such a few people can make trouble behind Lopwen."
If they really think so, let An Yizhi save some trouble.
Rushing to the aid of King Lionheart's two sons, this task is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and it is impossible for An Yizhi to waste a lot of time on the two of them in vain, spend a day or two of realistic time to do it, and return Bishop Tolan a favor, which is enough.
If they still want to continue fighting guerrillas, An Yizhi will use the tie-up, and he will also kidnap the two of them.
The two were chatting about walking around the camp when they saw a man in a priest's robe angrily lift the curtain from the tent deep in the camp and walk out.
He had a holy emblem on his chest that belonged to Losanda and was supposed to be one of the priests who came to help this time.
An Yizhi and Red saw him, of course he also saw the two of them, to be precise, seeing An Yizhi, the original expression of anger eased for a moment, and walked towards them quickly.
"Mr. An, we met again, I heard Bishop Tolan mention that you would help, but I didn't expect you to come at the right time."
This time it was Ann's turn to be confused.
I...... Know you?
An Yizhi often goes to the Temple of Dawn in Yamen City, and the resident priest and holy warrior in the temple know each other, if not all of them, at least they are all familiar, but he really doesn't have the impression of the priest in front of him.
He is a middle-aged priest, and the emblem on his chest is also made of gemstones, indicating that the status of the temple inside is not low, and this kind of person should know it.
Seeing the expression on An Yizhi's face, the man smiled and said:
"My name is Moorman, Mr. Ann may have forgotten about me, remember coming with Burns to Canso City to escort the Dawnstone?"
After this reminder, Ann Yizhi finally remembered where he had seen this person, it was a long time ago, and Ann Yizhi accepted the commission of the Temple of Dawn to escort the Dawnstone back to the Amen from Canso City. It was the Pastor Moorman who was in charge of receiving them at the time. (See Chapter 139 for details)
After all, there was only one side of the relationship at the beginning, and it was reasonable that An Yizhi had no impression at all, and Moorman didn't care too much. He greeted him warmly, and then got to the point:
"Mr. Ahn, please help me convince Clement that the situation is urgent enough to have to retreat."
Clement is the youngest son of King Lionheart, and depending on the situation, the other party doesn't plan to break through and run away?
It is estimated that it was because of this that Moorman left the tent with an angry expression.
"No problem, I'll help convince you."
An Yi pointed to the promise on his lips, but he thought too much in his heart that if the other party did not agree, he would simply knock him out and take him away.
"Okay, please come with me, I'll introduce you"
With that, Murman returned to the tent, and after a while there was another fierce quarrel inside.
"Ann, you seem to be particularly famous among NPCs."
Red said with a strange expression.
"Ahaha, so-so."
His reputation ...... Don't talk about it.
Not long after, Bishop Moorman lifted the tent and beckoned Ann to enter, and the latter and Red were not polite, and raised their feet and entered the tent.
Since it's a tent, there's not much space inside.
The biggest and most conspicuous thing here is a simple wooden table in the center, and a sand table on it.
The Lopven troops, marked with red flags, can be seen as if they have opened a large net, surrounding the pieces that indicate their side with the blue flag.
In addition to Bishop Murman, there were two other people in the tent, one old and one young.
The old one is about 60 years old, and his temples are full of traces of time, but he is very energetic, and he wears a set of armor that can still see bloodstains.
It is estimated that he was originally a general under King Lionheart, and he was a guy who did not accept the old man.
The young man was naturally Clement, the youngest son of King Lionheart.
At this time, he was sitting in front of the sand table staring at the situation with a solemn face, and the old general spoke loudly about his proposition:
"As long as we move quickly and join up with His Highness's troops, we will have a chance to break through the encirclement and suppression of Luo Puwen, those soldiers are city guards drawn from various counties, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning."
"Fart!"
When Bishop Murman heard this, he immediately sprayed at the old general, and it was hard to imagine that a priest who usually brought in a temperament like a spring breeze actually spat out rough words.
- That's an eye-opener, isn't it?
"Old thing! Do you want to take your Highness to death? The best thing to do now is to move to the southeast immediately, the Temple of Dawn has already sent a transport ship, as long as we reach the Westport, we can board the ship and leave. ”
"You're a fart! Grim Reaper Stick! ”
The old general also showed no weakness, and would spew:
"Do you want to give up the life of Your Highness! They were only followed by more than forty adventurers and a dozen soldiers, and if they did not join them to break through together, there was no chance of survival. ”
"But if you go to the confluence, then there will be no time to break through to the West Port, the encirclement network of Lopwen is shrinking step by step, and the Knights of the Steel Back are also eyeing the vicinity, with the combat power at hand, it is impossible to have a chance to protect everyone!"
The two of you and I said a word, and the words soon became more and more intense, and then words such as I greeted the female relatives of your family jumped out directly, and I didn't do anything, but I just retained a trace of reason.
In short, both are clear in their claims.
Bishop Moorman hopes that Clement will lead the team to break through to the West Harbor with all his might, and leave the area controlled by Lopwen by boat, as long as he is at sea, he can use the deterrent power of the Canso City Navy to make the Lopwen Navy unable to pursue, although it is still a little dangerous before reaching the sea area patrolled by the Canso City Navy, but in general, the success rate is not low, the only problem is that if you do this, you will definitely not be able to care about the group of people who were scattered last night, even if there is the eldest son of the Lionheart among them.
There is no problem, after all, it is better to keep one than to hang up both, but this makes the loyal and Lionheart old general on the other side very dissatisfied.
His plan was to go and join up with the scattered troops first, and then take advantage of the small number of his own team to cross the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, and the army of Luo Puwen would definitely not be able to catch up, and the Knights of the Steel Back would not be able to follow up.
At that time, they can take advantage of the moat to retreat or advance, whatever they want, and the most important thing is that the two sons of the Lionheart can be saved.
But the biggest flaw is that it is easy to be detected by Lopwen when the troops are combined, once the Knights of the Steel Back come again, they will be wiped out if they fail to do it after repeated impacts.
After roughly listening to the two of them's proposals, An Yizhi didn't rush to help anyone, but took out a piece of armor from his dimensional pocket, and threw it on the wooden table with the sand table with a bang, and smashed the arranged sand table to pieces......
