Chapter 279 Sprout City City Hall
Game time: PM22:13
Misha County, Sprout City City Hall
City Lord Reyfen Furhoof is sitting on his table Behind the extremely wide desk, this is not because the former likes to be extravagant. In fact, this half-orc man with mammoth blood can only adapt to this size. If this desk is smaller, it can only be used as a bench for him. .
“You don’t seem to be in good condition, Refn.”
Opposite, a slim elf woman with a pretty face, wearing a high-level priest's robe, was sitting lazily on a small chair. She smiled faintly, and did not look at the Lord of the City in front of her. Instead, she lowered her head and played with it. He was licking his nails and holding a slender cross like a staff in his arms.
"It's not just not good, it's simply terrible, Your Highness Xia Lian." City Lord Lei Fen shook his head vigorously, and smiled bitterly at the saint in front of him who had helped him a lot some time ago: " It wasn't me, it was the city, we built something The camp housed civilians infected with the plague, but new infected people kept appearing. Outside the city, large swaths of dead people appeared every day. Food, medicine, and treatment personnel were all in short supply. To be honest, if you hadn't stayed before With the help of the paladins below, all the poor people outside the city are probably dead long ago."
Although this is the city hall's main room, Refn Furhoof is still wearing a suit of cold steel. A, there is a rusty, The heavy sword as big as a door panel was wet on his body. In addition to the rain, there were large dark red blood stains. They were falling drop by drop along the outer edge of the armor. The uneven body under Rafen's body was Small puddles formed on the floor.
"I'm sorry that I didn't stay with you for two more days." Xia Lian sighed in a low voice and said apologetically: "Maybe I should have left you with a few more people."
"This is not your fault, Your Highness Xia Lian."
Rafen shook his head like a rattle, and said angrily: "If you want to blame it, you can only blame this damn plague. If you are just unwilling to raise your head to see me because of guilt, then there is no need. You are Sprout City My benefactor is also my benefactor.”
“ You misunderstood, Lei Fen." Xia Lian shrugged and continued to play with her nails: "I just think it's too tiring to keep looking at you."
Lei Fen: " ..."
"Okay, no more joking." Elf Saint. He stretched, then stood up and walked to the other party, raised his eyebrows and said: "How did you get yourself into this situation? Are the number of mutants too large to control?"
Xia Lian remembered that Lei Fen was not like this when she came here last time. At that time, the Mammoth City Lord wore a dress robe that could be used as a sail all day long, and he kept himself tidy most of the time. Although his character and temper were not much different from now, at least he still looked like a City Lord. Looks like that, but now...
"He looks like a handsome adventurer, right?" Leifen laughed, raised two dirty hands and wiped them on his breastplate: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the situation is not bad enough yet. To the point where the city lord is ready to go into battle."
Xia Lian looked at him amusedly: " Then did you put on this outfit and roll around in the mud outside?"
"At night, many people turned into monsters in the camp outside the city."
Leifen sighed and looked down at the blood on his palm: "Although there is You left two teams of paladins and those adventurers who volunteered to help, but I, the city lord, have to do something. Instead of staying here all day and watching Sprout City lose its vitality day by day, I might as well go out and fight with those people. It's easy for the soldiers to fight together, and I'm somewhat solid. Even if you are slightly injured, it is difficult to be infected."
"It's admirable." Xia Lian smiled and nodded: "When disaster strikes, someone has to stand up. Although even if you stand up, it may not be of any use.”
Lord Leifen choked up at that time: "Uh-huh... Your Majesty, is it appropriate for you to say that?!"
"Is there anything appropriate or inappropriate? Why can't you swear when you have faith?"
Xia Lian curled her lips indifferently, but then her face became serious, she suppressed a smile and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the gossip is almost over. I didn't come back so soon just to talk to you about home affairs."< br>
Thunder Fen sat upright seriously (and then collapsed again under Xia Lian's gaze), and whispered: "Is it about organizing everyone's collective migration?"
"No." Xia Lian He shook his head and raised the corner of his mouth with a smile of unknown meaning: "I asked you to prepare for migration before because there was no hope at all, but now the situation has changed, so I came back from the north in such a short period of time. .”
Lei Fen's eyes widened and he patted the table in surprise: "So not organizing the relocation means there is still hope now? Has the Sanctuary decided to send a large number of troops to rescue us?!"
" Sorry, Sanctuary still has no manpower available.”
Xia. Lian replied with some embarrassment, then raised the star-gold cross and put it on Rafen's shoulders, lowering the latter's body a little more (the chair made an ominous creaking sound): "But we can save ourselves. "
"Self-help?" Lei Fen's face darkened, feeling extremely helpless. The street stall said: "What can we do to save ourselves? You don't know the situation in Xinya City. If you continue like this, everyone will die. Everyone is likely to be infected with the plague, and as long as they are infected, they may become monsters. Now there are half-dead things everywhere around our city. It’s hard to escape even if you want to. Jin, how can you save yourself..."
Xia Lian raised her eyebrows proudly: "We found a commander who has solved many problems without any support, far beyond expectations. question, so I wanted him to try it.”
"Commander?" Rafen's eyebrows knitted together tightly, and he said in confusion: "Not a healer, apothecary, or a powerful sage, magic god, or paladin leader, but a... uh, commander Officer?”
“Yes.” Xia Lian nodded briskly and said with a smile: “A very promising little guy.”
[Little guy? 】
The city lord of Sprout City was obviously a little confused, but he was not confused for too long. After all, if we really talk about age, even he, who will celebrate his fifty-seventh birthday next month, is It can be classified into the category of 'little guy', so Rafen just thought about it for a moment, and then asked very eagerly: "Are you talking about General Durenni of the Principality of Scaran? I heard that he once used Two cavalry teams fought off the beast tide in the Dark Forest!"
"Uh, I've heard about this too," Xia Lian blinked, then shook her head and said, "But it wasn't Du Lun. General Ni.”
Rafen asked hurriedly: "That's the Great Knight Harrington of the Sun Sect! He has been fighting the barbarians on the side of Guillotine for more than ten years, and he has been able to severely defeat the barbarians every time. , Could it be..."
Xia Lian curled her lips: "I don't like that mean guy very much, and he has been transferred back to the City of Light since last month, and he may lead the team there next The north side is supporting Sumir..."
"Is that Grand Duke Adolf of the Adolf Free Territory?" City Lord Leifen looked at Xia Lian with burning eyes and said quickly: "He was very cruel twenty years ago. He defeated a long-planned rebellion in the country and was hailed as the God of War. He even blocked the steps of three great sword masters! "
"Adolf is free in the southwest continent!"
Xia Lian stared at Lei Fen with a pained face and sighed: "Can you think through your thoughts before you speak!"
The Lord of the City of Refn was still enthusiastic: "Is that the Counselor Lamorlock of the Dreamland Theocracy? He fought a particularly beautiful battle some time ago. It is said that he occupied half of the northern county of the Griffin Dynasty in one go!"
"The Dream Kingdom is also in the Southwest Continent!" Two veins popped out from Xia Lian's forehead, and a big bag popped up on Lei Fen's forehead: "You are poisonous, right? !" The latter grinned and said, "I'm quite concerned about this..."
"Nothing." Xia Lian simply stopped trying. She spread her hands: "He is an ordinary priest from our Dawn Sect."
Leifen's little face froze at that time: "An... ordinary priest?"
The elf saint nodded vigorously and said proudly: "I even found a saint!"
The city lord took a breath: "Damn it! Are you in love?!"
“What the hell!”
Cang! !
Two minutes later, the city lord of Sprout City, Leifen Maoho, struggled to get up from the ground. His head seemed to be half a circle bigger than before. He asked with a sad face: "Ganqing is just a new believer. Young pastor, can you really believe it?”
"Heh." Xia Lian chuckled and said leisurely: "The young priest wiped out all the monsters north of the Dagger Sheath Bridge during the time I left. Last night, he also ensured that Mida and Hofer were safe." The supply lines from the two cities to this side, if nothing unexpected happens, a large amount of food will be delivered to you within three days to relieve your urgent need."
Leifen, who had just gotten up, stood up before he could stand up. Falling back, he asked with a shocked look on his face: "Have all the monsters in the north been wiped out? Can we have supplies?!"
"That's about it." Xia Lian nodded with a smile, and then She stepped forward and grabbed the other person, but when she raised her hand to the highest level, Rafen was still half-sitting on the ground when she was being dragged by the collar. Her Royal Highness the Saint had no choice but to throw him back again: "Do you feel a little more confident?"
Leifen nodded like a fool: "Yes! Even if half of what you just said was bragging, I'm confident!"
"Very good, then I need Cooperation from your side.”
Xia Lian nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "First of all, we will set up camp in the Gudami Plain in the south. We hope that Xinya City will provide us with some wood, stones and other things. You should not be short of these here. It is best to We'll send a few trucks over before noon tomorrow. Don't worry about safety on the road. The troops are already there now. They will eliminate the danger in advance."
"No problem."
Leifen did not hesitate.
Xia Lian was not surprised by his reaction and just continued with a smile: "Secondly, I need you to gather the low-level professionals, clergy and civilians in the city who are willing to help, and then let them Get to the Gudami Plain as soon as possible, the sooner the better, we must concentrate our efforts together."
"Uh, you just said civilians?"
Lei Fen, who had a high degree of trust in Xia Lian, nodded first, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "How is this possible? My Holy Lady, everyone's current mentality is bad enough. Those who stayed in various union branches Leaving aside the adventurers and mercenaries in the ministry, shouldn’t civilians be protected?”
“It is a virtue for powerful people to protect the weak, but this does not mean that the weak do not have the right to protect themselves. , they voluntarily took up arms to fight for themselves, and no one is qualified to stop them, including you and me." Xia Lian turned her head and glanced at the city without any lights outside the window, and said softly: "This is what the child said before. Yes, I think this sentence is very reasonable, what do you think, Lei Fen?"
The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if I agree, it doesn't mean that they will really take up arms. Fight for yourself~"
"I will give you a notice. You can copy some of that thing and post it in the city. Believe me, it will be effective." Xia Lian said from her cuffs. He took out a roll of parchment and smiled: "In the words of Xiaoyuying, yes, a perfect copy."
"Okay, I will do it." Lei Fen dubiously took the parchment from Xia Lian's hand, and then frowned and said: "There are also matters concerning the clergy. Your Highness, the Holy Lady, you should know about the situation in Sprout City. The spread of this plague is too weird, and it is still here. All the personnel are outside the city to help the infected civilians alleviate the situation. If you transfer them at this time, I am afraid that all those poor people will turn into monsters within two days.”
Xia Lian glared at him angrily: "Do you think I would never think of such a thing?"
"Then why are you..."
"Listen to the sounds outside."
“The sound outside?”
“Yes, listen carefully~”
A moment later
"I...I heard it." Leifen Maoho rushed to the window in surprise, tried his best to stick his head out of the window, which was swollen by Xia Lian, and murmured : "It's a bit far away, there are many people, they are yelling, it seems..."
"Praise the goddess." Xia Lian closed her eyes gently, much better than Lei Fen Even if she wasn't close to the window, she could clearly hear the bursts of excited shouts outside the city. The Dawn Saint smacked her lips in a low voice and murmured in an imperceptible voice: "I didn't expect that girl to really do it. , even I can't take so many people in one breath..."
Leifen scratched his head: "What did you say?"
"Outside the city."
< br>
Xia Lian reopened her eyes and whispered: "Another saint is saving those infected with the plague and giving them health and hope. If nothing unexpected happens, this news will spread throughout the city soon. Reach everyone's ears."
"You mean..."
"We save them, and then take them with us to save themselves."
