Chapter 224 Large-Scale Maintenance and Upgrade
February 1, 2049, New Year’s Eve
Game time AM06:03
Northern Misha County, suburbs of Baiyu Town
A rather large team was marching slowly, with ten low-level paladins wearing heavy armor riding horses at the forefront, followed by hundreds of civilians dressed as civilians... civilians, their complexions were all... Not bad, there are all men, women, old and young, and they frequently look back at the town with eyes full of sadness and reluctance.
These lucky ones were found by Xia Lian without encountering mutants. Although they followed Her Majesty's words and left their hometowns for Mida City, they still felt attached to their hometown, which had long been surrounded by danger. Even after the rescue team arrived, people still struggled and refused to leave...
"It's really sick." Tirion Windfury, the half-orc shaman walking at the end of the team, whispered to the man next to him. The beautiful female elf warrior said: "Honey, what do you think these people are thinking? We are obviously here to save them, but in the end, the boss is unwilling..."
Tao Tao, who was trying to keep his balance on the horse, glared. He glanced at it and hummed: "Do you know why you are still just a small manager until now?"
"Because I always miss my wife when I go to work, so my work efficiency is not high." Tirion He suddenly raised his chest and raised his head and said loudly.
Then he was knocked off the horse with a sword.
"It's because you don't understand the world at all! All you can think about is how to deceive your own wife!" Putao, who was riding past Tirion, gave him a middle finger.
A little further back, a female human ranger in a green cloak shrank her neck with lingering fear, smacking her tongue in a low voice: "I won't become so violent when I get married... ...Huh? "
A message flashed across the screen, and the girl named Robin Weld immediately opened the friend panel, quickly read the message and rushed to the front of the line without saying a word.
"Emergency!" She ran to the leading paladin and shouted loudly: "Now change the route and go west. Let everyone increase their speed. The faster the better!"
< br>The other party was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "But we should return directly north to Mida City now..."
"I told you, it's an emergency." Robbins shook his head vigorously and took out a magic crystal that contained holy healing skills from his pocket: "Think about why Master Taylor arranged us into the team. This is Confidential contact information for special situations! ”
The Paladin was still hesitant: "But we..."
"If you don't believe it, send someone to the west to have a look now. Anyone can do it, but you must hurry up." The little girl He raised his finger and said seriously: " Your comrades and dozens of civilians are in urgent need of support!"
The other party looked at the magic crystal that had been blessed by Yuchen himself, and thought about how Taylor had arranged these low-level professionals into the team before! They did say they had a special mission ', finally nodded, and said to a slender half-elf female knight behind him: "Go over there and take a look, as fast as you can."
"I know." The latter nodded slightly. , then turned the horse's head and galloped away to the west.
[I didn’t expect that the rhetoric taught by Sister Yuying would actually work... Phew, it’s so exciting! 】
Robin Weld secretly wiped his sweat, then returned to the back of the team, opened the friend bar and edited the message...
At the same time
Misha County North, White Stone Path
Low-level Paladin Karl raised his hand and waved A scorching golden ripple restrained the two mutants in place, and then while holding the heraldic shield with the sacred emblem of the sun in their hands, they slowly retreated while turning to the dwarf monk not far away and shouted: "Are you sure we Should we retreat to the east? According to the original plan..."
"It's so powerful!"
The white-bearded dwarf monk jumping up and down smashed the skull of the mutant in front of him with one palm, and said loudly without looking back: "We didn't encounter such a big wave in the original plan. Arrangements for zombies! If you continue to go north now, at least half of them will die, so stop talking nonsense!"
"But Lord Taylor didn't tell us before..."
"Stop talking! Nonsense! You said it was a secret communication method. Why don’t you believe it was made by Her Majesty the Holy Lady?”
“No, no…”
"That's alright, old man, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice, so hold it in and hurry up while everyone is still in good condition."
"Oh."< br>
【Oh my god, this outfit is so exciting! It turns out that being an old person is more fun than being an adult! 】
The dwarf monk, who looked to be at least sixty years old and was actually just sixteen years old, chuckled, then turned around and elbowed half of the mutants away, and opened the message bar...
< br>……
Twenty minutes later
Mida City, Holy Church United Chapel, Mo Tan’s room
Mo Tan, Yu Chen and Yu Ying gathered around the long table in the room, above which was an extremely The detailed map of Misha County not only marks various roads, trails, cities, villages and towns, but also some unnamed places such as wild woods and small lakes.
Four translucent chess pieces with no visible material were placed above the map, one of which was emitting a hazy red light.
"The fourth team and the second team have successfully merged." A Yuying who was in a daze suddenly knocked on the table, raised his head and said to Mo Tan: "The mutants have not lost many members. There are at least sixty left.”
The latter nodded, reached out and flicked one of the chess pieces, turning it into a light red, then put the two red chess pieces together, frowning slightly: "What are the casualties of the second team? "
"Wait a moment." Yuying replied quickly, and then fell into the unique "sluggishness" of players when sending messages. After a while, he shook his head and said: "The two paladins were slightly injured, the civilians are safe for the time being, and the five players accompanying the team are also in good condition."
Mo Tan tapped the map in front of him unconsciously. , after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Let them stop and eliminate the mutants."
"Okay." Yuying responded simply.
Yu Chen looked at Mo Tan with some worry: "Can they withstand it? There are too many mutants this time, and they have to protect civilians..."
"Theoretically, we can win. There are three healers in these two teams. Most of the second team is composed of paladins from the Dawn Sect, and their endurance is very strong." Mo Tan rubbed his forehead, narrowed his eyes and pondered. Said: "But it's really not very safe... Miss Yuying, how are the conditions of the other two teams?"
Yuying shrugged: "The third team five minutes ago We have arrived at the small official road in the north of Mida City. The first team has just sent news that they have encountered more than a dozen mutants and are fighting, but it seems that there is no big problem."
"Ten justices. God's Holy Knight, plus five warrior-type players, will certainly have no problem dealing with a dozen mutants." Mo Tan nodded, and then placed a chess piece. On the map, a little north of Mida City, he looked up at Yuying and said, "Let the third team send five Harvest Knights down... uh, to the south to support the second and fourth teams. The others will take the civilians back to the city to rest as soon as possible. , and I remember that one of the five players is a priest. Let him go with the knights. If he travels at full speed, he should be able to arrive within half an hour, so it will be stable. "
"What about rhetoric? The Paladins of the third team don't know about 'secret communication'." Yu Ying scratched her hair and spread her hands with a headache: "Even if there is a token of Her Majesty the Saint, There are too many loopholes in our statement, it’s very troublesome..."
Yu Chen smiled shyly: "Just call me by my name."
"There is nothing we can do if there are loopholes." Mo Tan sighed and said helplessly: "As long as there are no problems at this stage, and after confirming the authenticity of those 'secret contacts', those Paladins should not I will take the initiative to ask Taylor for confirmation. Anyway, I will do this for now. I won’t be able to hide it later. "We'll talk about it later."
Yu Ying rolled her eyes: "I know, I know, it's not you who taught them to deceive people anyway..."
Mo Tan smiled apologetically, Then he picked up the quill pen at hand and made a few marks on the map, then picked up the Hongcha breathed a long sigh of relief: "There shouldn't be any big problems for the time being..."
"Hey, this is cold." Yuchen patted Mo Tan's wrist, then took the cup and poured it inside He added some hot water and smiled gently: "Drinking hotter in this weather is better for the stomach and intestines." Better~"
Mo Tan laughed dryly: "This is in a game..." "Well, because mom always doesn't pay attention to her body, she got used to it accidentally." Yu Chen was stunned. For a moment, then stuck out his tongue: "But it doesn't hurt."
Yu Ying folded her arms beside her and looked at the two of them with a very subtle look: "I'm a little bit nervous."
Mo Tan was about to say something, but he heard A system prompt came from my ears...
[Hello, dear players, there are still fifteen minutes until the server closes today. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance. Also, please pay attention to the official announcement after you are offline. 】
Mo Tan: "?"
The saint and assassin next to him were also slightly startled. Apparently they had also received the same news.
"What's going on?" Yuying blinked in confusion and looked at the other two people: "Have you ever received such a reminder before?"
Yuchen shook his head slightly: " I have no impression..."
Mo Tan also said that this was the first time he heard such news.
“It doesn’t matter.” Yu Ying shrugged and smiled at Mo Tan: “The third team has already sent people to support us, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with us in the remaining time, right? ”
Mo Tan nodded slightly: "Theoretically, that's the case. Thank you for your hard work today."
The female assassin who got the money chuckled: "It's not hard at all. You can earn mission contribution points just by staying in the room and sending messages." I'm so happy, I finally have enough money to replace the string of my hand crossbow, and if I'm lucky, I can buy some new models! Please help me get a discount from the blacksmith shop in the city?”
Yu Chen shrank his neck: “But I’m not very familiar with them...”
"Haha, just kidding~Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, see you in the afternoon."
"Yeah~see you in the afternoon."
Yu Ying looked at the two 'see you later' in front of her, curled her lips and muttered again: "I I really want to burn something.”
