Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 99 Let's take the initiative!
"Lord Norn, you say that this 'undead scavenging bird' can help their master with reconnaissance?"
Paladin Marlowe had a calm face, and there was obvious irritation in his eyes.
"That's right." Fang Qiuling kicked the larger scavenging bird corpse next to him, and there was no good feeling in his eyes, "The bone frames can be observed through their eyes, as if they were on the scene. ”
Old Tom touched his beard and interjected, "Fortunately, this bird is not very powerful, and it can be killed at will." ”
“…… This thing alone isn't very powerful. But it's a lot of people, it's scary! Even the griffin had to retreat three points. ”
It was Franz who spoke. He had seen an overwhelming number of undead scavengers attacking the castle in the sky above the castle. He was impressed by this strange bird, which was weak but always moving in groups.
Fang Qiuling nodded. He was also present at that time, and he was equally impressed.
By the way, the undead scavenger in the game is complete cannon fodder. No, it's worse than cannon fodder, and a random range attack skill can knock out a large area, and there is basically no threat. Therefore, in the eyes of the player, the undead scavenger is not even a "monster", that is, a "small animal" that can attack.
"There aren't many scavengers here today, but ...... The guy behind the scenes who operates the scavenging birds probably knows a pretty much the way around the town. Only, heh......" Fang Qiuling sneered, "As long as that vampire in the south moves fast enough to stop us at the Dongshan Lumberyard, it can block us." ”
Paladin Marlowe stretched out his hand and wiped his face: "If you can rush out, it's not a big problem......"
Fang Qiuling shrugged: "Yes, but only 'we' can rush out." If we can get away, it is nothing more than a matter of casualties. The militia can also follow along, and the casualties may be a little larger. However, the convoy that didn't have time to leave ......"
He shook his head, looking slightly helpless.
Although the knights who returned to Lakespring Town were all wounded, they still had the strength to fight. It is unlikely that the undead army on the south shore of the misty lake will be annihilated, but it will not be difficult to break through the siege under the leadership of Lady Mogre, Marlowe, Tom Sr., and Fang Qiuling. The militia followed the knight and walked together from the breach, probably half survived. But the last convoy of the "Great Evacuation" plan is unlikely to be spared.
Marlowe's hand froze as he wiped his face, and the other people's expressions became unnatural.
Those present had already fought with the undead many times, and they had a clear understanding of the undead's combat prowess. Although the Acting Lord only said casually, it is definitely not accurate, but if he actually wants to break through the Dongshan Lumber Yard with the undead blockade, there is a high probability that the situation will be close to what he said.
After a moment of silence, Fang Qiuling asked the twins behind him, "Who are the people in the convoy?" Are there many elderly people, children, and women? ”
Yuna shook her head slightly: "It's a resident of the village a little farther away." Most of them are hunters, and a small number are fishermen who have just arrived. Nearly half of adult males are employed. ”
"Orion and Fishermen......"
"Oh, and those from the Adventurers' Guild. It turned out that they didn't plan to leave, and it didn't make sense to say that they loved home and their homeland was difficult to leave. Now, there are people in front of me, saying that they want to go with the convoy. The sooner the better. ”
Yuya added on the side. Her words made everyone around her speechless.
Loving home and leaving home - this kind of reason is certainly fine for ordinary people, but it can't be placed on adventurers. Adventurers themselves are a group of people who seek "excitement", finances and fame, and as long as there are enough benefits or benefits, even adventurers who travel thousands of miles will be satisfied.
It is not because everyone in this place has left that they are reluctant to leave a familiar place! The townsfolk will definitely take their valuable belongings with them when they leave, but no matter how much they bring them, there will always be things that will be missed, and the adventurers will stay for these things.
The townsfolk left, almost with the town guards. Soon the town became the domain of adventurers?
In fact, Yuna and Yuya are well aware that many adventurers have begun to "walk the streets". It's just that because the town guards haven't all left, they don't dare to blatantly "look for wealth".
"These guys ......"
Fang Qiuling heard the sound of grinding teeth, and the voice came from the little cat girl next to him. Eliza also doesn't have a crush on adventurers, because adventurers bully her a lot!
Lady Mogley, who had been silent, spoke slowly: "Miss Corowin, if you provide weapons to the convoy, plus a simple training ......"
Yuna and Yuya didn't answer, but turned their gazes to Old Tom.
“…… It should be ok. Old Tom crossed his arms, "But I'll have to talk to that old fellow." As long as the guy agrees to come down, that's fine. ”
- The old guy?
A name quickly flashed through Fang Qiuling's mind: Schultz Dewey.
"You mean 'old fox' Schultz Dewey?"
The name in my heart came out of Marlowe's mouth first.
"Yes, that's right. Without this guy's help, it's hard to say that Orion can help. ”
Fang Qiuling interjected on the side: "How can it be said that it is helping, this is also for their good." ”
"That being said, but the mountain people don't think much of it. Thumik ...... Oh, Acting Lord, you don't know very well. The Orions are all mountain people, all of them are big and coarse, and they pay attention to whose fist is the most obedient. When he was young, the 'Old Fox' could fight ten at a time, so he had a high reputation among the mountain people. ”
"Cut, one to ten is nothing. Daddy, I think you can fight twenty of them alone! ”
The peak of the black iron was out of position, and Fang Qiuling felt that it was no problem to rush into the pile of people and open the Wushuang.
"Huh!" Old Tom let out a disdainful sneer, "You can't use weapons, you can't use vindictiveness, and you can't use heavy hands, point to the end!" ”
It doesn't matter if you can't use weapons, as it should be, it's all your own people now. But it's a little uncomfortable not to be able to use fighting energy, and you can't give full play to the strength that the black iron rank should have. As for not being able to play heavy hands and point to the end...... Is this still bigger than anyone's fist? This is to find guilt for yourself!
Fang Qiuling decisively arched his hand: "I'll leave it to you, Dad!" That guy's nickname is 'Old Fox'? It must be cunning and not easy to deal with. I'm sticking with you! Spiritually! ”
Such words were unsurprisingly exchanged for old Tom's contempt and a heartfelt cry: Get out!
It is extremely rude to roar in front of the nobleman himself, and the arrogant will even take off their white gloves and smash them in the face - a duel! I'm going to duel with you!
However, Fang Qiuling obviously didn't care about this, because he said this on purpose, in order to ease the atmosphere of the scene.
Old Tom glared at him viciously, turned and walked away. Before he could take a few steps, he felt something fly towards the back of his head. He didn't look back, and took the flying thing in his hand as soon as he copied it.
A metal wine glass?
- Oh! Endless Wine Glass!
The magic cup in his hand is familiar, in fact it was in the hands of old Tom not so long ago, providing him with daily joy and motivation.
“…… Treat the 'old fox' to a drink for me. ”
Fang Qiuling's voice came from behind him. This made Old Tom crack his mouth and smile, and then compared a gesture he learned from Fang Qiuling: OK!
"Orions can replenish some of their combat power, and they are also very good at setting traps and bows and arrows." Fang Qiuling watched Old Tom leave, then turned to Pastor Ed in the corner and asked, "How much holy water is there?" Low-grade. ”
Pastor Ed didn't answer directly, but asked, "Mr. Norn, what are you going to do with it?" ”
"Put it in a small, fragile jar and throw it into the array of undead. It can also be hung on a bow and arrows and shot over. You should be able to put a small piece in one go. ”
In the traditional perception of the clergy, holy water is a ritual item that can be used for healing, purification, and blessing. It is used as a weapon in a small jar......
Fang Qiuling's meaning was obvious, that is, to use the holy water as a special grenade against the undead. However, considering the spread of the holy water after the jar is broken and the concentration of the holy water itself, the killing effect on the undead should be far less than that of the current grenade.
Pastor Ed certainly didn't know what a grenade looked like, but he had seen Fang Qiuling smash an entire bottle of holy water on the lich's head with a crossbow bolt. Therefore, Fang Qiuling's words made him thoughtful, but at the same time he was a little hesitant.
Many encounters with the undead in a short period of time have given Pastor Ed a lot of experience in fighting the undead. For example, with holy water as a supplement, the gods that are used with it can exert the effect that one plus one is greater than two. For example, the temporary divine circle that uses holy water as a component has a great restraining effect on the undead. For example......
No matter how you look at it, smashing it directly with holy water is an extremely inefficient wasteful behavior.
Pastor Ed couldn't help but hesitate.
It's not reluctant, and it's not because there aren't enough reserves. Instead, he felt that he should choose a more efficient way to use the holy water, and throw it directly into a small jar and throw it on the head of the undead, which is still a little too rude.
However, Fang Qiuling's subsequent words immediately made Pastor Ed change his attention.
"It's a bit of a waste to just smash it, but there's no way. We are short of pastors......"
The Temple of Notos in Lakesprings is the largest in the Misty Lakes region, but there are actually very few true priests. When they treated Alina and Rodna, the two of them were indeed surrounded by a circle of clergy, but most of them were only apprenticeships, and they could only be apprentices for the rest of their lives. There is no one like Pastor Ed who can "fight".
“…… If there is a lot of holy water, I recommend just taking it out and smashing it. Without a priest, no amount of holy water is of any use. Moreover, this situation cannot be taken away now, so it is better to smash them directly on the head than to stay and spoil the undead. ”
- Makes sense!
"In this way, even the militia can deal with a few skeletons, so that they don't see it...... Uh, it doesn't seem like you can ...... with holy water."
Fang Qiuling expected that the militia's casualties would be heavy, and the most important reason for this was fear. Seeing a group of skeletons coming towards them in formation, few people could keep their composure.
"Then ...... next"
"I'm proposing to strike first and occupy the lumberyards in Dongshan first."
