Chapter 325 Acquaintances and Missing Persons
Twenty minutes later, the joint force received the second batch of support from the cities of Hofer and Mida, including several groups of low-level paladins who had been staying behind, A large number of civilians incited by small advertisements, dozens of professionals who were transferred here due to the sudden reduction in pressure in the north of the county, a small number of clergy from Hofer City (there are no more illnesses in the land of God's favor), and a large amount of supplies, in total In terms of strength, although it is not a decisive combat power, its weight is definitely not light, and it will be of great help to Mo Tan's next plan.
And there is an acquaintance in this team...
"Gaheres?"
Because he has run out of magic power, he is personally working on a low-level ranger Yuchen, who was bandaging the wound, turned around and looked at the thin young man behind him in surprise, half of his body soaked in blood: "Why are you here? And you're so seriously injured?!"< br>
"Actually, the wound is not deep, but his physical condition is too poor." Luna, who was holding a pile of bottles and cans, came over from a short distance away and thrust half a bottle of bright red potion into Gaheres' hand. He casually warned: "You will feel a little dizzy after drinking. It is normal. Don't move around casually. If the wound cracks after the medicine takes effect, there will be a massive bleeding..."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the others. People are distributing potions.
This is the northern open space of the joint force station, where the second support team that arrived ten minutes ago, the last exploration team that just returned from the mission, and more than two hundred civilians they rescued are gathered. Everyone's condition is not very good. Almost all the civilians who have just been rescued are injured. They are the largest group of survivors during this period. They come from three villages that have been reduced to ruins. They were killed two hours ago. The three mixed brigades under Mo Tan's direct command fought tooth and nail to save them. Although they managed to get here without anyone left behind, most of them had reached their limit. Some even gave up with satisfaction after taking two mouthfuls of hot porridge. He fell to the ground and never woke up. If the treatment staff at the station had not treated these people immediately, it is estimated that a large number of them would have died in less than half an hour.
The situation of the support team was not good either. They encountered a big wave on the way... a large number of skeleton soldiers. Although the professionals and clergy wiped them out at the first time, they still Many civilians were injured in this encounter. In the current environment of Misha County, injuries in the wild and infection with the plague can be completely understood as synonyms, so it was expected that two rounds of mutants broke out during the subsequent journey. The transformation incident once again created a large number of injured people.
"Fortunately, everyone is still determined, uh..."
Gahres, who had just finished drinking the potion, swayed, and while covering his head with a pale face, he continued to say to Yu Chen: "Everyone came here voluntarily, and before setting off, they were prepared to never go back again. , so morale has not been affected at all. The loss...well, the loss is not too big."
"You should take a rest first. Come on." Yuchen shook his head at him, stretched out his index finger and waved it to his lips, making a silent gesture, and said softly: "Miss Luna's medicines are very effective, but the side effects are also very strong. , Just lie down on the blanket for a while.”
Gaheres’s face became a little pale under the effect of [Hemotonin], and his eyes were gray. Meng's eyes were bright and pious when looking at Yuchen: "I'm fine, but it's you who should..."
"Don't let me rest, someone has been nagging me for the past two days. I keep nagging, ah, this uncle...you can't be so brave anymore, that is to say, your body is strong, if it's someone else, you may not be able to walk in the next life. !" Yuchen shook his head quickly, and then whispered while applying the cold towel in his hand to the calf of a middle-aged orc, whose leg was broken by a mutant when he came back with the exploration team. During the second half of the journey, he knew that he was not light, but he didn't ask anyone to help him, so he jumped back on one leg. As a result, the other leg was almost useless.
Similar words kept coming and going in this open space...
"It's okay, it's okay. Although the wound is deep, your flesh is pretty thick~"
"Eat my big ice finger! Ouch, brother knight, what are you doing? I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm being manipulated. I’m here to help the injured with pain relief! Do you understand pain relief?”
“Brother, you want pain relief too? I’m not a water magician either. Master, why don't I have a little yellow book for you to take care of?"
"You want a little yellow book too? Where's the injury? It's not hurt. You need an egg. Go!”
“This Gu Liang, do you still have any blood tonics and rune bandages left in your group?”
"Yes, what else do you want? There are plenty of vitality potions and hemp stems."
"Do you have the little yellow book? The more exposed, the better."
"Hey! That big guy Paladin, come here, there is someone sexually harassing you!"
"Someone go to the logistics master and ask for a bowl of porridge! This kid is hungry! Dead! Hey, Sister Mage, wait a minute. This child hasn’t eaten for two and a half days. I think she hasn’t reached the age of weaning yet. I wonder if it’s inconvenient for you... Wow! "
"Is there anyone who can set bones? Is there anyone who can set bones! This old man's ribs are out of place!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I learned a few Sanshou moves from a monk before. No matter whether it's good or not, I'll try it first..."
Such shouts never stopped, and the whole station was full of people. Empty priests, mages (majoring in water or light systems), and a large number of support personnel Most of the staff came here, and many little civilian girls who helped in Luna's temporary alchemy workshop (Yu Ying declined all male applicants on Luna's behalf) also ran around to help distribute medicines, so that The newcomers felt the warmth of the big family of the Joint Forces for the first time.
It must be said that in most cases, a leader’s own temperament will affect or exaggerate the departments, teams or organizations under his command. This argument is used in many business units, violent groups, and administrative organizations. can be reflected, and the same is true for the joint forces in the Gudami Plain. Although Mo Tan, as the de facto leader, has not been involved in many things outside the combat field, the style of painting here has gradually become more and more inclusive... Simply put, it is close to the people...
A ray of light golden light brushed across Gaheres' body, slightly alleviating his increasingly intense headache.
"Although Luna's potions are very effective, the side effects are also very strong." Motan, who hurried over just after processing the report, shrugged at Gaheres and dispersed the medicine between his fingers. The light: "Long time no see. I suggest you close your eyes and lie down for a while, otherwise you will start to have tinnitus soon."
The young man who was dizzy from [Hemotonin] smiled bitterly and fell on the blanket: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hei Fan."
Yu Chen, who had already raised his little hand, muttered to Mo Tan. Mouth: "Come and keep an eye on me?"
"You're just here to help, how can I have time to keep an eye on you." The latter turned away with some guilt, while rushing to the two sides next to him who were also fed with hematin. The injured person cast [Life Link] and whispered to Yu Chen: "After the magic power is used up, don't use it after recovering a little. You must wait until at least 30% is above 30% before casting the magic. Also, every time you drink magic potion It's best to leave it at an interval of about five minutes, otherwise the effect will diminish very quickly. Now that the budget is limited, you should use it sparingly."
Yuchen nodded obediently: "Oh, but I remember Luna only used it yesterday. There is a lot of materials sent from Sprout City..."
"If you can save it, save it." Mo Tan shook the cross on his wrist and summoned a [calm halo] on the spot. 】 Soothing the emotions of the seriously injured people around him (the seriously injured people were basically around Yuchen), he said seriously: "If you go head-to-head with those large-scale mutants in the future, it will definitely cause a lot of consumption."
What he said was true and false. To put it simply, although there is no problem in theory, the real purpose is to prevent Yu Chen from repeating the mental burden of casting, restoring mana, casting, and restoring mana so frequently. It's just an operation. As for saving potions...
It makes sense, but how much magic potion can Yuchen consume by himself? After macro-control, one more for her and one less for her won't cause much difference. Influence.
However, the girl who was still very innocent to a certain extent did not doubt that she had it. She just raised the bandage in her hand and said with a smile: "I know, then I will go and bandage everyone's wounds first!"< br>
Mo Tan nodded slightly: "Well, many adventurers say that your Highness the Saint is more proficient in how to use bandages than those of them who crawl around in the wild every day. Sure enough, you still have a good foundation." "Hey, thank you for the compliment~"
Yuchen scratched his hair in embarrassment, and then ran to the middle of the team to bandage those with serious injuries, not caring at all that his white hands and the equally clean high-level priest robes had become dirty. Bloody.
【Should I help her wash her clothes later? Well, I will probably be regarded as a pervert. No, no, what the hell am I thinking! 】
Mo Tan rolled his eyes with unclear meaning, waved the cross lightly, and accurately cast a series of seamless healing spells on a dying orc old man, hanging him. life.
"Lord Heifan..."
Gaheres, whose headache had eased a little, suddenly called Mo Tan, with a serious look on his face: "An, who is stationed in Hofer City, Mr. Dong asked me to tell you or His Highness Xia Lian that a week ago, a paladin of the Abundance Cult named Ben Foster disappeared during the vigil and was suspected of being... killed."
"Paladin?"
Motan immediately looked back at him and asked in surprise: "Are there new mutants appearing around Hofer City?"
Gahlei Si shook his head gently: "No, and There was no monster attack on the night Ben disappeared. After the knights found out about it, they immediately went out of the city to search, but found nothing."
"I think so, after all, even if there were leaks in the previous eradication. Zhiyuye It is impossible to take the initiative to approach Hofer City, which Xia Lian has turned into a temporary place for gods." Mo Tan rubbed his forehead, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "By the way, when were you? , Where did the skeleton attack occur? What is the number of squares?”
Gaheres thought for a moment: “In fact, on the afternoon of the day of departure, the location should be on the road dozens of miles south of Hofer City. In terms of number... there were at least three. Forty.”
"Then what happened after they were killed? Did they turn into a pile of bones again or what?"
"No, after the flames in the heads of those skeleton soldiers were extinguished, they would directly turn into dust and disappear into the air... "
"That's it, thank you, Gaheres."
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes and nodded, and then quickly sent a message to Yu Ying. Message: 'Select a group of players with high stealth levels from those players who are unstable online and have no fixed team, and have them return to the northern part of Misha County immediately, and send half of them to Hofer and Mida City to look for 'suspicious persons', and the others The people searched the area with a radius of fifty miles with Hofer City as the center, and told them that this matter involved the world task of 'finding the source of the plague', and the rewards were huge. ’
‘Then you must have a rough goal, right? What the hell is a ‘suspicious person’, and what does it mean to be considered suspicious? ! ’
Yuying replied instantly.
Mo Tan sighed and said helplessly: 'I only know that the other party is most likely a powerful necromancer, but I don't know anything more. ’
‘Okay, those whose time is unstable can’t get any rewards here anyway. It’s better to let them try their luck. I’ll leave a message for them right now. ’
‘Thank you. ’
‘If you don’t plan to give a bonus, don’t talk about these useless things. ’
‘Oh, it’s okay, just hang up. '
Mo Tan closed the message bar and smiled at Gahres, who looked a little curious: "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now. I will try my best to find out about this matter. "
"Okay." Gaheres, who had regained some strength, sat up and said to Mo Tan: "But Mr. Anton also said that everything will be based on the overall situation. If this is the case, If the war is tense, he will temporarily give up the search and lead the last few paladins stationed in Hofer City to come for support."
Mo Tan nodded slightly, and then asked curiously: "By the way,. I remember you were taking care of Wenqiu in the chapel. Is that girl okay? "
"Is Wenqiu okay? "
Gaheres gave a bitter smile, spread his hands and said, "She is just a little annoyed with me. She keeps telling me, 'Go to the south quickly.' This time, I asked Qiu to sign up for me without permission. Maybe she is disliked." ”
The corner of Mo Tan's mouth twitched, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "I'm sorry, I will talk to her well when I get back."
The thin young man with a low sense of presence shook his head. Shaking his head: "No, actually I'm fine with it. Thank you Wenqiu. It’s an honor for me to be able to help on the front line and fight side by side with Her Royal Highness, ha... Although I am quite useless, at best I can only do some simple work in the rear.”
< br>"Haha, we The work nature and self-evaluation of the two are quite similar~"
Mo Tan smiled, but before he and Gahres could chat more, Xia Xia, who had just woken up and rushed over. Lianti slipped aside to understand the situation.
...
At the same time
In the southern part of Misha County, a mournful howl resounded across the ground, startling two or three mutants.
"Go to the Captain of the Steel Rangers! I am clearly a kamikaze, you bastard!"
