Chapter 199: An Unsolvable Situation
Tony is not the only one who came to Mida City to rescue these days. In fact, Taylor’s paladins have rescued more than 500 people so far. , most of them are civilians from surrounding villages and towns, and there are many who are in a similar situation to Erbozi Village.
There are those who sent advance personnel to the city to report the news during the escape, and there are also those who spread the news along the way during the eradication of mutants. The situation of the former group is generally the same as that of Teacher Tony. The other group of people Xia Lian was informed of the cause of the mutants and went to Mida City in an organized manner. The latter was usually followed by three paladins. One of them set off first to deliver the news to the city, while the remaining two were responsible for guarding. What the two have in common is that they both need support or response, so Taylor has been sending people out since two days ago...
Batch after batch of refugees are being connected continuously. In the city, in addition to the thirty permanent defenders, the Paladins took turns rushing to various places around Mida City to provide support. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness in front of the mutants, Taylor usually asked the knights to operate in groups of ten. , and facts have proven the correctness of this plan, because mutants pose too great a threat to civilians, so whether they are those wandering outside or those who suddenly transformed during the migration process, they have put a lot of pressure on the knights. When we encounter a big wave...I mean a big wave, even if the escort team is composed of ten people, it is easy for the wounded to appear.
With the continuous advance of Xia Lian's large forces and the sharp increase in the number of mutants, Mida City's manpower began to become more and more nervous, although occasionally a few would follow the saint out. The knights who wiped out the raids came back, but in the end it was just a drop in the bucket, so...
"Impossible!" Taylor shook his head at Mo Tan and asserted in a deep voice: "There are only thirty-six paladins left in the city, and there cannot be any more. Mida City has a huge goal. Moreover, those monsters seem to have the ability to sense the breath of the living. If the defensive strength is insufficient, it will easily lead to a big mistake. If the Holy Lady has three advantages and two disadvantages... ..."
"It doesn't matter to me." Yu Chen interrupted Taylor softly and said gently: "Mr. Taylor, since we have the ability to help innocent people, we should not remain indifferent. "
Tony immediately looked at Yuchen with grateful eyes. If Mo Tan hadn't been supporting him, he might have knelt down.
But...
"Please forgive me for refusing, Your Highness the Saint." Taylor rarely rejected Yuchen's point of view and asked with a solemn face: "Please just imagine, In what situations would you be in danger? ”
Yu Chen blinked and asked in confusion: "What... situation?"
"Breaking the city." Mo Tan, who was next to him, answered the question before Taylor did, and then said to him The reporter shrugged: "The knights will definitely put Wangyu's safety as their first priority. That is to say, if Wangyu is in danger, it will also declare the end of Mida City, right, Your Excellency Knight?"
Taylor nodded slightly, and then explained to Yuchen: "Yes, just like what Pastor Hei Fan said, the possibility of you encountering danger is the same as the possibility of breaking the city, and Mida The destruction of the city also means that tens of thousands of civilians will be annihilated, so...even from the perspective of innocent people, please understand my decision. "
Tony's hopeful eyes. It immediately turned gloomy, and he felt that he was destined to be unable to fulfill this responsibility...
"We still have those professionals and the guards of Lord Sol, and there is a possibility that a large number of mutants will suddenly attack here. It’s not that sexual.” Yuchen had not considered this, but she still insisted to Taylor: “I think your judgment just now, Mr. Taylor, is unfair.”
Taylor turned his head away slightly.
Yu Chen smiled softly and said softly: "Are you too worried about my safety? I feel that as long as a saint like me is here, I can't take even one percent risk. , so even if the possibility of something happening is almost non-existent, you can't always be completely at ease, right?"
Taylor was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the usually timid person in front of him. The girl will think of so many things, and she almost got her thoughts right.
The favored person of the Dawn Goddess, one of the only saints of the Dawn Sect, her life is irreplaceable, and every devout person will make the same judgment, which is why Taylor dare not take risks reasons, even if the possibility of this risk occurring is indeed low.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything anymore." Taylor, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly smiled at Yuchen and said softly: "I will not let you fall into crisis no matter what."< br>
"But!" Yuchen wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Taylor raising his hand.
“But I am not only a devout believer of the goddess and your follower, but also a knight.” Taylor patted the sword on his waist and said in a deep voice: “I don’t want you to be in this situation. I am in danger, but I have also made an oath to help anyone who asks me for help and to fight for the defenseless people, so I have just been prepared. I will go to that village to fight for those innocent people. ."< br>
Tony was just an ordinary civilian. He couldn't understand the conversation between the previous people, but he understood that the extremely mighty-looking paladin in front of him was going to go to the village to rescue him personally. He was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Thank you. You, Lord Knight!"
Yu Chen also looked at the other party in surprise: "Mr. Taylor, you..."
"Are you going to die?"
Mo Tan suddenly asked lightly. He stared at Taylor's calm and firm eyes and repeated again: "Are you going to die?"
Taylor just calmly asked: " Why do you say that?"
" Ni said that more than thirty mutants appeared in their village last night." Mo Tan shook a finger, then spread his hands and said, "It has been at least ten hours now, and there will definitely be countless mutants during this period. Avoidable casualties, not to mention how many people died , the probability of those injured transforming into mutants is very high. How many do you think you can deal with alone? Ten? Or fifteen?"
Tero replied calmly: "No. In the case of a coordinated charge with companions, fourteen or five are probably enough. It's the limit, maybe even less if you can't fight on horseback."
"So you decided to die?" Mo Tan sighed, looking into Taylor's eyes and asked, "Are you still here? Under the premise that there are other options? ”
Taylor shook his head, turned and walked towards his horse: "There is no other choice."
"Three knights."
"What do you mean?" Taylor looked back at him, slightly Narrowing his eyes: "What three knights?"
Mo Tan smiled: "Including you, a total of four holy knights have temporarily left Mida City. The defense force here should be sufficient, right?"
"If we just contain those mutants and give the civilians a chance to escape, the result of having three more people will be the same." Taylor thought that Mo Tan just wanted to bring three more knights with him, so he said calmly He replied: "If you want to ensure that everyone survives, you need at least a team of ten people, so the difference is not big. There is no need to let others accompany me on the adventure."
Mo Tan blinked: "I have no intention of recruiting a few more people to die with you."
"Then don't talk about it anymore." Taylor waved his hand and smiled: "If I come back If you don't come, Knight Robert will take over the command of the Paladins. I hope you will cooperate with him."
"You, plus three Paladins, plus me and ten low-level professions. "Mo Tan simply ignored Taylor's words. He just whispered to himself: "This configuration should solve the problem."
Taylor frowned: "Plus you and ten low-level professionals? They can only handle two or three at most. It's just that, even if none of the villagers transform into mutants during this period, it is still dangerous. I don't agree." Mo Tan rubbed his forehead helplessly: "I'm sure."
This is the truth. He and Yu Ying have seen the strength of those low-level professionals before. Although they are not powerful, if ten good players are selected from them, as long as they cooperate properly, it should not be a problem to deal with dozens of mutants. It would be huge, and it would be safer if we added four paladins including Taylor.
But Taylor obviously simply calculated the average combat power of those people, so the conclusion would naturally not be very optimistic.
In short, although Mo Tan is not 100% sure, and although he was a little scared before saying this, he feels that he should be able to do it...
These two days He focused a large part of his energy on those low-level professionals, and also organized two small-scale confrontation training among the recruited volunteers while Yuchen was resting, and the results were pretty good.
Perhaps Mo Tan himself did not realize that he had changed a lot after fighting side by side with the Fenrir team several times, and he also discovered a lot of things that he could do even at this moment. The previous thought that 'there are too many things I can't do now' has quietly disappeared.
[If I try, maybe even I can do it now]
[If I try, maybe I am enough at this moment]
Before in the chapel He thought so when he was thinking about the situation in Misha County, and now he thinks so too, so...
'Help convince Taylor, my plan should be feasible, you are fooling him. ~'
Mo Tan winked at Yu Chen, quickly edited a message and sent it.
"Priest Heifan, I think even if you do it again..." As soon as Taylor was halfway through his words, he was lightly tapped on the shoulder by His Royal Highness the Saint, and he immediately choked.
"Mr. Taylor." Yuchen took a deep breath secretly, and then said seriously with a straight face: "I think Hei Fan is right, well... I mean, I just said I feel the will of the goddess and feel that this is the right thing to do. If it is to achieve less sacrifice or no sacrifice, you can give it a try."
'I am already incoherent (=﹏=)! ! ’
Mo Tan glanced at the message from Yuchen, then shook his head slightly and quietly gave a thumbs up.
Sure enough...
"Okay, since Her Majesty the Saint has said so." Taylor struggled for a while, but finally followed Yu Chen's advice and said in a deep voice: "Then without further ado, you go organize the manpower. We will be in Nanjing in ten minutes. The door meets, but Pastor Heifan, you must promise me that you will obey my orders when the time comes."
Mo Tan nodded happily: "I promise"

Three hours later
Northern Misha County, Erbozi Village 'Luna Alchemy Workshop'
"One...two...three...throw!"
The two panting young men threw a handful of broken crystals outside at the same time, and then immediately flashed to both sides of the door. The next second, outside Suddenly, several bright purple flames ignited, as well as a series of painful roars.
"It works! Their movements have slowed down!" A little boy ran to the door quickly while his family was not paying attention, stretched out his neck and took a look outside, and then excitedly turned back to a man in a dress in the corner. The blond girl in a purple robe shouted: "Sister Luna, you are so amazing~"
Then he was dragged back by his father holding his ears.
"Thank you, little Dennis." The human girl, who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, gently shook the crystal bottle and replied without raising her head: "But please be quiet now, please. .”
Luna Lynch is a slender girl with soft lines. She is thin and always wears a necklace that seems to be made of beer corks. She has an ethereal and warm voice, and has a pair of unusually hazy light blue eyes, which often gives people A feeling somewhere between laziness and sleepwalking.
Even though she is sitting in front of the alchemy table making props, even though she is blocked in this three-story building with more than 80 people at this time, she still looks lazy.
“Well, it seems like something is missing, let me see~let me see~”
The girl glanced at the light pink liquid in the crystal bottle and put it casually He stood on the wooden shelf next to the alchemy table, then slowly turned over the notes on his knees, and whispered softly: "Two black fish eyes, three spoons of dream dust, half a spoon of diluted Balrog pollen, three drops of potent concoction, energy storage crystal One, two colorful frog venom glands...uh, how many did I put in?"
Luna shook her head, then took out a metal box from under the alchemy table, opened the lid and looked inside. He glanced at it and muttered: "There are five missing...haha...because they are the venom glands of the colorful frog, so I accidentally recorded them as five...but it shouldn't matter, um, probably."
She stretched, then picked up the crystal bottle from before, poured the liquid inside into the row of diamond-shaped molds in front of her, stretched out her hands and whispered softly as if she was dreaming: "Silver and iron are pure. On the left side of the scale, the surging wind, on the right side of the scale, the swaying ice, molded with... molded with... molded with what? Forget it, let's do it at high speed!"
Only! She saw streaks of light blue magic spreading out from Luna's hands, and then quickly blending into several symbols engraved on both sides of the alchemy table, followed by a hazy black mist rising in front of her. A few wisps of burnt smell overflowed...
"Very good, come and throw these out. Well, it's best to throw them away... Yes, the further away the better..."
