Both Fang Qiuling and Ms. Mogre were worried about the situation in Huquan Town, and after discussion, they unanimously decided to abandon their stationing in Dongliuhe and return to Huquan Town as soon as possible. However, if you are really desperate to rush to Huquan Town day and night, it is estimated that you will not go far and collide with the undead and fall into the encirclement of the undead who are not very carefully prepared.

Skeletons and zombies are slow, but ghouls are nimble and adept at climbing. Coupled with the Bone Cavalry or simply getting a few Death Knights as high-end combat power, it is easy to set up an ambush circle on the way forward.

One can imagine the knights panicking when they find themselves in a siege. It only takes such an ambush, and there is no need to even have large casualties, and the little gains and advantages achieved before will be in vain.

The morale boost is easy, and a few victories are enough to make a resigned recruit feel confident. But it's easier to destroy morale, and it only takes one unexpected time.

In order not to be caught by the undead's tail, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Ms. Mogre and her fellow high-ranking knights attacked many times, repeating the harassment tactics of small troops before the small battle, "grinding" the minions released by the undead army little by little, and at the same time ensuring that their main forces were always hidden.

However, casualties in many battles were inevitable, and the knights eventually appeared to be killed in battle. At the same time, each of the knights had some wounds on their bodies, and several of them were quite badly wounded

After frequent battles and the journey back, it was only six days after stepping into the gates of Lakesprings again.

The large crowd that had gathered outside Huquan was gone, replaced by a convoy of troops ready to go, and a militia that was training and looked imposing.

Fang Qiuling, who returned to Huquan Town, didn't care about resting, and drove straight to the city hall.

When I walked into the city hall, I immediately saw Yuna and Yuya busy behind their desks. After not seeing each other for a while, the twins looked a lot clearer, with a tiredness on their faces that could not be concealed. But their eyes were still bright, with the joy of a long absence.

"Huh? Yes! You're back, host! ”

"Well, I'm back!" Fang Qiuling grabbed the water bottle on the desk and poured himself a glass of water, drank it dry, and then asked unceremoniously and directly: "What is the situation now, how many people have not been evacuated?" ”

Fang Qiu's fiery attitude did not surprise the twins.

Yuna glanced at the parchment spread out in front of her, and said in a very fast voice: "At present, sixteen convoys have been dispatched, and the number of people in each convoy is around three hundred. At present, there is still a convoy that has not left, and there is a shortage of some horses and some cold supplies, which are expected to be in place by noon. We can go in the afternoon, and then it's our own. ”

"Good!"

Including the convoy that has not yet left, there are a total of seventeen convoys, with a total number of more than 5,000 people. The Twins organized the evacuation of 5,000 people in almost twenty days, which is quite good considering that Elune has neither real-time communication nor convenient transportation. Yuna and Yuya's organization and execution can be seen!

Admittedly, the population of the Misty Lakes region is much more than five thousand. But those who have not yet arrived in Lakespring Town at this moment have probably suffered misfortune. As for whether it is necessary to send personnel again to confirm whether there are any omissions...... In Elune, who has no exact demographics, this behavior is completely meaningless.

-- The "Great Evacuation" plan is basically completed!

This is undoubtedly good news! The last few days have been full of bad news, and the rare good news has lifted Fang Qiuling's spirits.

"Where's the greenskin from the north? What is the situation of them now? Also, what's going on with the militia outside? ”

Compared to the undead, the noise made by the greenskins is just some bad things, and basically it is not on the table. If it weren't for the "Great Evacuation" plan, which evacuated the personnel from each town, the Greenskins would not have had a chance to "conquer the city" at all, and the town guards of each town would have taught them a lesson under the protection of the city walls!

However, as more and more greenskins emerge from the mountains, forests and fields, the sharp rise in the number seems to have made the process of "quantitative change to qualitative change" appear in the greenskins, which has become a bit tricky.

"There's no problem in the north for now." Yuya's expression was slightly subtle, "Those drunkard uncles in the tavern said that as long as there was enough wine, they would be willing to help kill those green skins. I agreed, and gave them fifty barrels of ale. And then...... There was no more, the greenskins all ran away, and those who didn't run were hacked to death by them. ”

- The drunkard uncles among the drunkards?

Fang Qiuling thought about it, and soon realized that it was an adventurer and a mercenary.

Organizing adventurers and mercenaries to deal with the Greenskins is obviously a very good idea. Adventurers and mercenaries are notoriously unorganized and undisciplined, but their combat effectiveness is still very guaranteed. It is quite suitable for dealing with the same unorganized and undisciplined green skins.

Yuya continued: "The departing convoy needs to be guarded by manpower. The town guards looked at a lot of people, but there were so many convoys to arrange, it was not enough. Mr. Hadner temporarily summoned a group of militiamen, and after a brief training, they were directly used, which was barely ......"

A loud commotion suddenly sounded, interrupting Yuya's words. Immediately the noise was heard, accompanied by continuous screams and wails. Voices came from far and near, and seemed to soon spread outside the town hall. It felt as if some monster had suddenly burst into the town and launched an indiscriminate attack.

- What's the situation?

Fang Qiuling and the twin sons looked suspicious. But before they could tell the officials around them to send someone out to take a look, a large black bird fluttered its wings and smashed through a window of its shell, and stumbled into the hall.

Black feathers, a lead-gray, elongated beak, an ugly sarcoma on the top of the head, and dirty-looking claws. It is a large bird that will be ominous at first glance, and it is not a common bird in the Misty Lake area.

glanced at it very casually, and saw that it was just a bird, so Fang Qiuling stopped paying attention. There are waiters in the town hall, and the waiters will take care of such trivial matters. However, just when he turned around and was about to continue the communication with the twins, the scene that suddenly appeared in his mind made Fang Qiuling's movements stiffen suddenly. He immediately turned his head and looked at the big bird again.

Black Feathers - This is not the original color of feathers, and they have turned black due to the blood stain!

Lead-gray and elongated beak - not so much a beak as a dagger that can be opened and closed!

Ugly sarcoma on top of the head - sarcoma is not covered with any hair and is rotten. Even from a distance, you can feel the disgusting smell.

Filthy paws—The paws were soon covered in black dirt, and there were large black stains that looked like blood had dried up.

What kind of ordinary big bird is this! It's obviously an undead scavenging bird, and it's also the most aggressive boneless vulture among the undead scavengers!

Fang Qiuling immediately drew his sword and stepped out. With a flash of sword light, the boneless vulture immediately separated its head and stopped moving. After killing the boneless vulture, he immediately ran outside the town hall.

Undead scavengers usually act together in groups. At this moment, a boneless vulture broke into the town hall, which means ......

Pushing the door out, Fang Qiuling's face immediately became quite ugly.

In the small square directly in front of the town hall, the undead scavengers rise and fall like a black storm, obscuring even the distant scenery. They frantically attack passers-by, targeting vulnerable areas of the face, such as eyes, ears, and noses, and the attacked pedestrians lose their eyes or ears if they are not careful. Although such injuries are not fatal, they can make the injured suffer and scream.

In the distance, a "dark cloud" can be seen hovering in the sky. They swooped down and when they returned to the air, they could see a more vivid red color on the beaks or paws of several of them.

"A lot of ......"

Yuna and Yuya also saw the black oppression in the small square. I don't know what kind of bird it is, but just by looking at it, I know that these birds are not a product of nature. The twins' faces also became less pretty.

"Trouble ......"

The Undead Scavenger is the air power of Mamo, the Dark Nation. However, due to their low IQ, they are not able to be sent to distant places to fight alone, so they usually march with a large army.

At this moment, they appeared in the sky above Lakesprings, which means that an army of the undead is nearby!

“…… Go back and close the doors and windows! ”

Fang Qiuling raised the long sword in his hand and began to accumulate strength.

"Master, what about you?"

"I'll go to the town wall and see what's going on! Protect yourselves! Also, pack up your things and get ready to leave! ”

"Yes!"

The twins hurried back, and their methodical commands rang out in the town hall.

The silver-white light quickly enveloped the long sword in his hand, and Fang Qiuling took a step forward and swung his sword horizontally. The silver-white brilliance turned into scattered dots and swept across the small square in front of him.

The movements of more than a dozen undead scavenging birds paused instantly, and after a while, they fell to the ground. The blood that slipped out of their black feathers was not red, but a black liquid like ink. The remaining undead scavengers were frightened and flapped their wings. But what awaited them was another sparkling light.

After two swings of the sword, there were more than half of the undead scavengers in the small square that could still move. The bird that slipped through the net made a very ugly cry and flew away in all directions.

At the same time, there were several sword qi rising into the sky in the direction of the south gate of the town. The flock of black birds that were constantly circling in the sky was immediately cut apart by the sword qi, and the black stained blood was the corpses of birds falling like rain. Obviously, the paladins who had not yet disbanded shot at the same time.

Fang Qiuling swung his sword again, slashing the surrounding undead scavenging birds. He looked up at the sky, then headed for the south gate.

- Plans are better than changes! Next...... It's likely to be hunted down by the undead all the way!
