Chapter 330 Situation
Game time PM19:33
Kudami Plain, joint force station, command tent
“Okay, let everyone withdraw as planned "
Mo Tan stretched out his hand and tapped a certain chess piece in front of him, extinguished the light red light on it and whispered: "This way, there will be no worries for the time being..."< br>
Yuying, who was sitting not far away, nodded slightly: "I understand, the next round of teams will set off in twenty minutes. If you don't plan to command them directly, just conduct a small-scale reconnaissance in the northern part of the Snow Bamboo Forest as originally planned. No problem?”
“No, the next two rounds of operations today are temporarily cancelled.” Mo Tan shook his head and rejected his previous plan, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, saying softly. : "Except for the player Night Watch who wants to reduce the mission contribution, let all members of the combat order rest."
Yu Ying sighed lightly, and did not say a few words as casually as in the past. He just quickly opened the message board and told several heralds about Mo Tan's arrangements. The latter were all players with poor or no strength at all. Because they basically couldn't play a role in most tasks, they shouldered the responsibility. Instead of running errands and spreading the news, they created value in this regional event in another way.
After passing on the order, Yu Ying glanced at Mo Tan who was in a sleepy state with some hesitation, and said hesitantly: "There has been no news from Cordoba since the afternoon. He..."
"He just told me the situation."
Mo Tan opened his eyes and looked at a certain place on the map with some confusion, staring at the two lines above that read, 'Fair City, a medium-sized city with a permanent population of about 13,000, is rich in seventeen kinds of low-level alchemy potions. The necessary materials - red silkworm leaves, medicinal leeches', murmured with a pale face: "Because the infected plague was not removed in time." The epidemic was isolated and destroyed within two days after the mutation broke out. The survivor... was alone..."
The girl who had just walked into the tent suddenly covered her mouth, her tired eyes were shocked. Looking at Mo Tan, his legs, which were already shaking due to fatigue, softened, and he stumbled in from the door.
Yu Ying suddenly stood up and wanted to run over to help Yuchen who was about to fall to the ground, but the other person was faster than her -
"Ling Lingzhan."< br>
Mo Tan opens his eyes With her tightly clenched right hand, she made a lifting gesture towards Yuchen from a distance, and then saw the girl's body, which had obviously lost its center of gravity, stagnated slightly in mid-air, and then was jumped onto her. Yu Ying hugged her next to her.
The latter glanced back at Mo Tan: "What kind of sorcery are you talking about?"
Mo Tan lowered his hand with a wry smile and didn't explain much. He really didn't have the leisure at the moment, and he knew it very well. Yuying just complained subconsciously, and her mood may not be any better than hers, although the latter had already guessed the outcome after receiving the message from Cordoba, and even proactively reminded the other party to abandon the search and rescue operation. , but that was just trying to stay calm. After the news of the death of tens of thousands of people in Fair City was confirmed, the self-proclaimed female assassin who had no feelings was also greatly shocked. Otherwise, her actions when she went to help Yu Chen would not have been possible. It was so slow...
It was just a message, but tens of thousands of living lives were simply marked with a cold label of 'Destroyed in two days, leaving only one survivor'. This fact is... It's too hard to accept. If it were a few people here a month or two ago, they might not have any real feelings. However, how could they, who have been working hard in Misha County during this period, not be touched at this time.
After witnessing those suffering from the plague kneeling down and cheering around Yuchen...
After personally saving dozens or hundreds of animals that were driven to death by those mutants After life...
After personally experiencing countless tragedies of eternal separation between heaven and man, and white-haired people sending black-haired people away...
Suddenly I learned that tens of thousands of lives that were no different from those people disappeared in just two days. At the end of the day, no one can remain calm.
What's worse is that several people who have witnessed the killings of those mutants can even imagine the hell-like scene.
"Sorry..."
As the effect of [Law Barrier] faded, Yuchen, who had lost his restraint, raised his little head that was leaning on Yu Ying's shoulder, and stood up reluctantly Her face was still lack of blood, and she hesitated for a few seconds before whispering to the two of them: "What were you talking about just now?"
Yu Ying winked at Mo Tan and gave the other party the right to explain.
"Some unpleasant information." The latter stood up, gave up his chair to Yuchen, leaned against the long table and was silent for a while before slowly saying: "Go to the south to explore. News came back from Cordoba that the city of Fair, located in the middle of the southern border, was destroyed. More than 10,000 people in the city died or were transformed into mutants, and only one was protected in the park. The child in the Orthodox Church survived. When Cordoba took the child away from the city, the area filled with countless resentments and blasphemy was immediately transformed into a cursed place..."
Mo Tan Biao Cordoba briefly recounted the information he had just sent a few minutes ago, and then turned his head uneasily and stared at Yu Chen's increasingly pale face, his anxiety palpable.
Although he has already deeply realized how strong the seemingly timid and weak girl next to him is, he is still subconsciously worried about whether the other party can bear this bad news, even though everyone knows that those NPCs are theoretically just one person. Just a string of data, even though those victims and everyone present They are neither relatives nor strangers, and even though they are one dimension apart, Mo Tan dares to guarantee everything he has. During this period, Yu Chen Jue has been working hard to save more people every day. I don’t care about those things, so...
“I know.”
Yuchen's lowered eyes were a little red, and her soft and melodious voice was a little trembling, but she still raised her head after a few seconds and showed a reluctant smile: "Don't worry, is there anything I can do? "
Mo Tan didn't know what the other party meant by 'don't worry', but he was inexplicably relieved under the girl's warm and trusting gaze, then shook his head and said: "You have worked hard enough. Okay, everyone has worked hard enough. Everyone in this station has been doing what they should do, but there are some things that we can’t stop and cannot avoid.”
“Damn it,” Yu Ying said angrily. He stamped his feet and said angrily: "Aren't there many super powerful and super powerful bosses in this world? Why can't you see any of them at this time! Let's not talk about those sword masters and magic gods. Are all the first-level, second-level, and third-level experts dead? Only one person survived out of more than 10,000 people. This is not a joke, right?"
Mo Tan sighed: " Do you think this is weird?”
Yu Ying’s eyes widened: “Isn’t this weird enough?”
Yu Chen also whispered uncomfortably: "I also have this idea... although I can barely be regarded as, uh... a main member of the Holy Religion Alliance now." "Actually, this is not surprising at all." Tan looked at the map on the table thoughtfully and explained: "First of all, you have to What you know is that Misha County is, to a certain extent, a countryside without any affiliation or affiliation. It has no direct relationship with the major forces around it, even though it is very far from the Fire Claw Territory in the northwest of the Violet Empire. It is close to the eastern fortress of the Principality of Lanka. It is very close, and the northern border is directly adjacent to the Holy Land, but it does not belong to any of the above three. Therefore, the major forces have no obligation to help Misha County survive this disaster. Of course, for humanitarian reasons, They will not sit idly by completely, but there is no way to predict the specific intensity. Zi The Roland Empire has not yet been able to handle its own affairs. Although the Principality of Skalan was kind enough to use its official power to help establish a blockade in the eastern border of Misha County and send a large amount of supplies there, in the final analysis, it is still because it is afraid of the people here. The plague will spread, but the Holy Religion Alliance is quite powerful. , the two saints plus the five hundred low-level paladins are indeed a considerable force, especially since Yuchen has now mastered the skills that can dispel the plague on a large scale. To be honest, if those mutants hadn't suddenly appeared , maybe the problem has been solved long ago.”
< br>
Yuchen frowned slightly and whispered: "But we don't have the power to reverse the situation..."
"No, we actually have the power to reverse the situation. Or should I say 'once upon a time'" Mo Tan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Shaking his head, he spread his hands and said: "Let's not talk about you first. Our senior saintess is a truly powerful person. Xia Lian once told me before that if she was still in her prime, she could just use divine magic to blast her. Killed all the mutants in Misha County, and as for the five hundred low-level paladins, Its fundamental purpose is actually just to protect you. In terms of combat power, Xia Lian alone is enough."
Yu Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Then she should be killed. If she is really as strong as you say. , I shouldn’t have asked even if I was slightly injured..."
"No, there is a problem." Mo Tan interrupted the former's complaint and said seriously: "She was not slightly injured, but was hit head-on by the dark divine power. She is almost completely unable to use magic. You understand what this means. What are you wearing?"
Yu Ying thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Does this mean she can only hit people with the stick?"
"Ah, that..."
Yuchen raised it timidly. He held up his hand and reminded sarcastically: "That's a cross."
The two looked at each other and showed an extremely forced smile in unison. It was obvious that both girls were trying very hard to adjust to the overly depressing atmosphere, but they had very little effect. Wei, after all, tens of thousands of people died in the south, and the number was even several times more than the total number of survivors they rescued during this period. Most people would not be able to bear it in the face of this extremely heavy reality. Self-doubt, wondering if everything I did before was just a joke.
Fortunately, these people had a good mentality, and even the self-doubt did not last long.
"Well, as long as you work hard, it'll be fine. That's how it's done in cartoons."
Yu Ying said without thinking.
"It's good to be able to help one more person. There are still many things we can do."
Yu Chen waved his fist lightly and said in the same confused way. : "At least other innocent people cannot suffer the same fate."
Mo Tan looked at the two people in front of him dumbfounded: "Are you trying to comfort me?"
Yu Ying nodded: "Yes, yes, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. I have to help." Your high bracket is not a physical level I need the boss to cheer me up so I can finish the mission."
Yuchen nodded: "Mo Tan, please be more open-minded, your expression is too ugly..."
"I was just here. Just thinking about something.”
With poor psychological quality, Mo Tan, who had just used self-hypnosis to calm himself down, laughed dryly. He was completely unaware of how ugly his face was before. After explaining in an understatement, he continued to talk to Yu. Ying explained: "Let's put it this way, Xia Lian who cannot use magic is equivalent to those magicians in other games who have luxurious equipment, maximum level, and superb skills but cannot cast spells. Do you understand?"
Yu Ying was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure you are a magician who can't cast spells and not a berserker who can't cast spells? She beat up that fierce-looking Cordoba before! He's ranked second in the battle rankings !”
“A level 100 mage can kill a level 20 wild boar even with a staff.” Mo Tan gave an example that was not very appropriate and continued: “So strictly speaking, Saint. The support from the United Church can be said to be quite strong this time. As for other aspects of strength, as I said before, Misha County is just a rural area where no one cares. Although there are also neutral organizations such as the Mage Guild and the Adventurer Guild. The organization exists, but the combat effectiveness of the permanent personnel is not too high. Those with ambition and strength have already gone elsewhere to develop. Those without strength and qualifications have countless better choices. In addition, there are also needs on the blockade. There are a large number of people, so this situation is normal."
Yu Chen lowered his shoulders in frustration and whispered: "But even if the saint sister is injured, there are many powerful people in the Holy Church Alliance. Ah, I have met a few of those senior gods from other sects before. If they had been allowed to come over and help a little, so many people might not have died."
"This is also very important. That's easy to explain." Mo Tan rubbed his forehead and shrugged helplessly: "They don't need to come when Xia Lian is not injured, and they shouldn't come after Xia Lian is attacked by the divine power."< br>
Yu Chen blinked in confusion: "Why?"
"Think about it, a powerful saint was planted here."
Mo Tan patted the map of Misha County in front of Yuchen and said in a deep voice: "Then others will be fine if they come here. Besides, Misha County is not part of the Holy Land. To put it harshly, it is completely If you don’t have the capital to risk the rescue, what if you run over to help and get attacked by the Dark Goddess like Xia Lian?”
“Ugh, is this so realistic...”
Yuchen let out a mournful cry like a small animal.
“Yes.”
Mo Tan nodded, then picked up a quill and drew a big red circle somewhere on the map. He narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "So in a small place like this, we'd better count on little people like us..."
