Chapter 192 Countermeasures
After a short silence.
"We need a way now..." Mo Tan said softly to Yu Chen. He frowned and subconsciously tapped the table, forcing himself to think as calmly as possible.
Although he does not have as strong a sense of justice as he did when he was in 'Lawful Good', he still does not want the hundreds of thousands of people in Misha County to be put in hell. Mo Tan has no way not to sympathize with those who have no Civilians who do anything wrong but bleed in vain cannot ignore the disasters happening around them, cannot calmly wait for everything to end, and then do their own thing without any pressure.
Every person with conscience cannot help but be moved by it.
Perhaps this society is gradually becoming indifferent, and perhaps some people will laugh off the disasters suffered by others, and even happily use them as topics of conversation among friends, but even so, it does not represent the word conscience. Completely obliterated from most people's concepts.
Just because it is difficult for people to be moved by a series of cold, simple, distant numbers or things that have nothing to do with themselves.
It's just because we can't see it...
In fact, if we really throw someone who can laugh out loud when talking about the tragedy of the disaster-stricken areas to the scene of the incident, let him Witnessing the ruins that were like a hell on earth, letting him listen to those heart-wrenching cries, and then finding out that a life within his reach that he still had time to save was about to disappear, what would he do?
I think most people will try hard and try to lend a helping hand.
No matter how wrong their outlook is, no matter how bad their conduct, no matter how despicable and dark...
Even if their first consideration at that moment is still to escape, and the most important thing is still their own safety, they will Try to lend a helping hand, although this may have a lot of prerequisites such as 'make sure you are okay first', 'is the surrounding environment stable', etc., but they will still try to help.
This is the so-called conscience. It has not been wiped out from the hearts of most people, it is just covered up by many dark, complicated or realistic things.
The catastrophe that occurred in Misha County is within reach of Mo Tan at this moment.
He saw the elf girl who just wanted to live, but still fell helpless in the end.
He saw the thief who wanted to save him no matter what, but in the end could only kill him with his own hands.
He witnessed the lives struggling in the plague. He heard about Marcus who proudly shouted "I love her" and was killed by his lover. He was also very sad. I can’t forget the orc who tried to commit suicide to make his wife and children decide to leave the blockade...
So he wants to save, not as a saint or a madman, but as an ordinary person. Even if it is just a drop in the bucket, even if the result is unsatisfactory, it doesn't matter. He just wants to try as much as possible. For a moment, just like every one of us who still has a conscience.
[Those monsters that Yu Ying calls "mutants" have definitely lost their consciousness completely, so there is no other way except to destroy them. But with Xia Lian and hundreds of paladins, The combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient. It would be okay if those monsters were concentrated in one place, but they are too scattered...]
Mo Tan squinted his eyes and looked at the map, thinking with all his strength.
Yuchen sat there obediently and stared at him for a long time. Then he stood up gently, closed the window, and tiptoed to a corner of the room to boil hot water.
[Xia Lian's health is not good, and the Paladins are not invincible. They also have to eat and rest. And although those low-level Paladins are much better than me, they should only be as strong as those in the forum. Those level 15 or 6 players can handle three or five mutants at the same time. If they face a large number of enemies at the same time and still have If you don't get a proper rest, problems will soon arise...]
Mo Tan recalled the previous scene when the knights had a hand-to-hand fight with the mutants after the group charge. Every blow of them could cause The damage was effective, but it was far from the level of Xia Lian's overwhelming strength that instantly killed the enemy when she first entered the scene.
[So the focus now is that the combat power is seriously insufficient, and once the knights lose their numerical advantage, their combat power will definitely decline. Even if they are only referred to as organized enemies, Xia Lian obviously does not intend to save just one city. , but there are too few people who can treat the plague now, so they will definitely... split up. Each city or population gathering place will definitely leave a sufficient number of paladins, so as to ensure that they will not appear to be walking in front and behind. Those who were saved were destroyed by the next batch of mutants. 】
Mo Tan scratched his hair in distress, feeling that his brain was a bit out of use, but he knew this was an illusion. Although his personality was relatively ordinary at this moment, 'Mo Tan's' brain It's not as simple as that.
Yuchen quietly placed a cup of black tea in his hand without disturbing him.
[Now almost all mid-level and high-level professionals are scattered along various blockades. Even if we include those personnel transferred from other areas, it is still very tight, so we must not move...and the border should have mutated now. Well, everything is tight. 】
Mo Tan looked around at the blockade on the map, frowned slightly, and then subconsciously picked up the coffee at hand and took a sip...
The temperature was just right, but not coffee.
He turned around and found Yuchen smiling softly at him.
"Thank you." Mo Tan also smiled at the girl, then turned his attention to the map again, and whispered: "Give me some time, I hope I can be of some help..."
Words Chen responded softly and leaned over to refill Mo Tan's cup with some hot water.
A few bright rays of light came in from the window, illuminating some smoke and dust that are usually difficult to see with the naked eye.
This scene was painted hundreds of years later by Leon Rotti, a famous painter of the Holy Alliance. The restoration was almost 10% of the miraculous. The painting was called " The century-old painting "Beloved" is hung in the center of the Ascension Auditorium in the City of Miracles. The man on it is dressed in nine-fold divine law, with the original holy scripture hanging on his waist, an undefeated battle hymn on his shoulders, and an uncrowned crown on his head. He has a slender figure, clear eyebrows, and a calm face. His eyes are full of wisdom and calmness that can see through everything, and he sips the fragrant tea.
The woman in the painting is holding the holy staff of black day, wearing a hazy light and shadow dance, wearing a girdle of divine grace, wearing a thousand lights on her head, and walking in the silent night. She has a soft figure, long hair reaching her waist, His face was as beautiful as autumn water, and he had a pair of eyes as bright as stars, clean and pure, and he was leaning down to whisper in the man's ear.
And the surrounding scenery... is 10% without distortion at all. The future Master Leon personally went to the Holy Union Chapel in Mida City and lived there for half a year, and restored almost every detail here perfectly. Even the angle of the sunlight is copied exactly.
As for the others, that is, the two people mentioned above, the old man basically painted them purely based on consciousness and feeling...
Anyway, I feel that they have little to do with the two people now. .
So, let’s get down to business.
A few minutes later, Mo Tan finally came back from his deep thoughts. He put away the map on the table and sighed: "Now it seems there is only one way..."
"What can I do?" Yuchen asked expectantly, holding a cup in front of him.
"Conscription."
......
"Conscription?" Saul looked at the two young men in front of him and blinked in confusion: "What do you mean? , to form a force with everyone who participated in the defense of the city?" Mo Tan shook his head: "Not just them, I want to recruit everyone in the city who can take up arms to fight."
< br>
Thor frowned: "But it is difficult for those adventurers and mercenaries to fight like regular soldiers, and their strength is far inferior to that of mid- to high-level professionals, let alone civilians... Pastor, Aren't we safe now?"
"We are only safe for the time being." Mo Tan shrugged, walked to the side of the room and pointed at the map and said, "But now Misha County. Monsters are constantly appearing everywhere, and their numbers will increase and their harm will become greater and greater. If they are ignored, they may not be safe in the future."
Thor sighed: "Even if there are saints and paladins, it won't work?"
"The paladins are not that powerful." Yuchen said slightly awkwardly: "And the saint sister is not in very good health now. In addition to helping with treatment, it is difficult for me to be of use in the battle..."
Mo Tan showed his hands to Thor: "That's it, if we don't organize and prepare as much as possible now If so, we will be in big trouble soon. Even if the city of Mida with us and the city of Hofer, which has become a place blessed by gods, are safe and sound, what will happen to the others?”
"I understand." Saul is not an ignorant person. After hearing what Mo Tan said, he pondered for a moment and then nodded seriously: "What should I do?"
Mo Tan smiled. : "Give Her Majesty the Holy Lady and I the authority to issue a recruitment order in the city. I will prepare the specific content for you, and then just find someone to set up two registration offices, one in the city and one outside the city. "
"Okay." Since Thor agreed, he no longer hesitated and immediately said to Mo Tan: "The paper and pen are on the table, and I will let the guards listen to Her Majesty's command. "
Mo Tan leaned forward slightly: "Thank you very much. May the goddess be with you, Lord Thor."
Five minutes later
"Please find someone to copy these two things, and then distribute the first copy throughout the city. We will come to pick up the second copy later." Mo Tan handed over two pages with wet ink. Sol, smiled and said: "Sorry to trouble you."
The latter nodded happily. Nodding: "I'll start making arrangements right away."
"Then let's say goodbye first, Lord Sol." Yuchen saluted Sol and smiled softly: "There are others outside the city. Many people need treatment."
The two then left the city hall.
A moment later, outside Mida
"Is there really no need to say hello to Mr. Taylor?" Yu Chen tilted his head and asked Mo Tan as he walked: "He is very nice."
Mo Tan shook his head: "Now No, it doesn’t matter if I tell him later. There are some things that I don’t know yet.”
Yu Chen smiled lightly: “Okay.”
Then the two came to those places. Treatment work was carried out at the station where the infected civilians were stationed. To be precise, Yu Chen was doing the treatment, and Mo Tan was acting as a target for the darkness to interfere. He rushed to treat dozens of people before the next batch of mutants were transformed. In addition, Xia Lian was treated in the morning. After the group purification, there were almost no seriously injured people here and a little bit of vitality was restored.
After the time point calculated by Mo Tan came, no new mutants appeared here. This fact made the people in the station very excited, and their mental state was much better. Most of the previous panic has subsided,
Although it is only partial, it is somewhat a good start.
“Such a mutation can indeed be controlled.” Mo Tan also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Yu Chen, who was spending a lot of money around him: “Let’s take a rest for the time being. Restoring your physical strength is something other priests do. Staff can do it too.”
The girl drank another bottle of mana potion and was about to answer when she heard a noise coming from a distance, and then she saw a saint from the Dawn Sect. The knight rode up.
"Your Highness the Saint, there are dozens of monsters approaching here. Please follow me back to the city." The young knight dismounted and saluted, and leaned down respectfully: "It is very dangerous here."
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment: "There are many civilians here..."
"The other knights will protect everyone's safety." The other party pointed at a dozen knights lining up not far away and said loudly: "But the safety of Her Royal Highness the Saint is above all else, and it is still too dangerous here."
< br>【As expected. 】
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then whispered to Yuchen who still wanted to say something: "You go back first, I will stay to help."
"I can also... ..." Yuchen shook his head and whispered: "Divine magic is also effective for those mutants. It can cause harm."
Mo Tan smiled and said: "It's not that I don't think you can be useful. Anyway, you go back first. Dozens of mutants pose no threat. I just want to get up close. Just observe them.”
Yu Chen didn't insist anymore, and after telling Mo Tan to pay attention to his safety, he reluctantly followed the paladin and left.
A few minutes later...
A harsh roar came from the distance. A group of mutants had appeared in Mo Tan's field of vision, and the knights had already assembled in front of the camp. At the same time, they launched a charge.
"I thought you had left."
Yu Ying, who came from not far away, walked to Mo Tan, then raised his head and glanced in the direction where the mutants were attacking. , sighed softly: "It seems that there is another group of refugees."
"There are many people like this." Mo Tan, looking in the same direction, replied casually.
More than a dozen monsters just met each other, and the same number of spears were instantly pierced through their chests, and each one was carried four to five meters away.
Yu Ying smiled: "But they are obviously no match for those knights."
"Yes, but as I said just now, there are many, many such people... …”
