Chapter 1190 112. The mixed emotions of the druids
Selana has never seen so many humans gathered together to put out fires...
The men held buckets, and the women They were carrying flower baskets, and even the children were holding bowls with spilled water.
"Actually, most of them can't help, but... having this heart is enough."
Selana was silent for a long time, while Annan was still rushing to put out the fire. . Looking at the elf mentor: "Irilan'er, I'll take Tad and Miss Serana there first..."
Yi Ruilanze's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Serana said to let Annan go first, but he objected: "No, you might be misunderstood by your companions."
"Okay..." Serana was about to obey, Irilanze said: "It's useless for you to go. Da De and I will go over and put out the fire first."
Annan couldn't refute, and could only look at Iri Lanze, Serana, Da De The three people crowded on the dragon's back and drove away.
That was his place...
At this time, Olmedo, who set out with the mage group, rushed over.
"Why were you left behind?"
"It's important to put out the fire. I couldn't be of use in the past." Annan looked mature.
He asked the arriving Liberty City soldiers to divide into two groups: Olmedo led the residents to cut a fire break on the top of the mountain to prevent the fire from spreading, while the mages followed him to the west side of the mountain to put out the fire.
……
The raging flames licked every druid's face, almost swallowing their hope.
The elf druid's extreme words gradually entangled this group of druids who were affected by negative emotions. When they were almost falling into the abyss with him, a small and insignificant rain cloud suddenly gathered above the sea of fire.
The druids turned around and saw a white dragon carrying Serana and Da De, and an elf coming from a distance, emitting waves of magic.
The rain that fell from the rain clouds was a drop in the bucket. Before it even hit the ground, it was evaporated by the burning forest and disappeared into the billowing smoke.
“Is this the reinforcement you found?” Olga said sarcastically.
Serana was about to speak when the rain cloud that was about to dissipate was suddenly injected with more magic power, stretching and spreading in the air.
Selana, who had some enlightenment, turned back and saw reinforcements emerging from the horizon like wasps.
The druids also gradually noticed the approaching black shadows.
"Human..." A cold whisper escaped from Ogar's throat.
They saw the human lord getting closer and closer, and ordered: "Get ready to put out the fire!"
As the arriving mages dispersed, they cast spells, summoned water elements, rain, and even used mud spells to hit the burning forest.
Annan had no time to greet the druids. He rode on the back of the white dragon, climbed to the heights of the forest, and opened five portals with flashing light flowers. Then, streams of water flowed out from the doors——
"They are the reinforcements I found." Serana replied to Ogar at this time.
They arrived quickly enough, but the scope of the flames still spanned more than ten miles. If Liberty City hadn't brought enough mages with them, they might not have been able to put out the fire.
Under the continuous casting of spells by Annan and hundreds of mages, the raging flames gradually extinguished, returning to a scorched black land with sparks flickering and green smoke rising.
With little magic power left, Annan landed and opened the portal for the last time, this time summoning the soldiers from behind.
With axes, shovels and baskets in hand, they charged towards the scorched earth as if charging the enemy.
When one of the soldiers ran past the druids holding a bucket, Ogar suddenly pulled up his bow and arrow and aimed at the soldier tremblingly.
"What are you going to do...!"
"Put out the fire." The guard turned a blind eye to the arrow aimed at him, thinking that the elf was just stressed.
"You set a fire and then extinguished it?" Ogar sneered. "You don't seem very smart... It's another group of people who set the fire. What does it have to do with us."
"You are all humans!"
"You elves You've also betrayed your covenant with Lord Annan. Didn't Lord Annan help you regardless of past grudges?" The guard muttered "Idiot" and went to put out the fire with a bucket in the indifference of the druids.
Ogar gradually put down his bow and arrow.
Human mages patrol the sky, dousing the rekindled woodland. The soldiers who broke into the hot and scorched earth also used water and soil to cover the still smoking areas. The fire is gradually being brought under control and should be extinguished soon.
But the black scars are still ugly at the foot of the mountain.
Olmedo took people to the Franco Territory to question, and the soldiers who made the save began to cheer, and the smiles on their faces made the druids' emotions even more complicated.
They seemed to have seen a group of... completely different humans.
“Why are there two people missing?”
Annan followed Serana to the druids.
They said that two companions were captured by the knights of Franco's territory. Annan nodded after hearing the words and walked through the scorched woods to Franco's territory on the other side.
There were some burnt silhouettes on the edge of the forest. Annan initially thought they were people who had been burned to death, but the silhouettes were larger.
When Annan left, Olmedo was negotiating with the leader of the Blackstone Knights and the mayor of Greenleaf Town.
“How dare you set the mountain on fire!”
"Deputy Lord Olmedo, we are setting fire to the forest on Franco's territory."
"But you are unable to extinguish the flames, and sooner or later they will spread to the east side of the mountains." Olmedo said to The mayor's excuses were unmoved.
After Annan told Olmedo the situation, she asked the Knights to hand over the two druids.
The leader of the Knights, Noal, refused to hand it over on the grounds that the Druid had killed dozens of knights.
"Then I can only negotiate with your lord." Annan took the initiative.
Facing the neighboring high lord, Noal first performed a knightly salute, and then said that he would not hand over the druid unless the high lord spoke.
One of the two druids was dead and the other seriously injured, but the Knights had killed so many people and burned a forest, so someone had to bear the price.
Noel's toughness puzzled Annan: "You hate druids?"
"You don't know?"
"What do you know?"
Noel suddenly remembered that the champion warlock in front of him had just arrived, and he only uttered one word: blood feud.
It seems that this conflict is also mixed with some deeper hatred.
"I won't tell you to put down your hatred graciously. I just hope you don't affect innocent people."
Annan asked again: "But first, get rid of that bear druid." Leave it to us. It's going to die. If you don't do something, it will be too late. You can tell your lord that I took it away by force."
Noel hesitated for a moment, relaxed his attitude, and handed it over. The unconscious bear druid.
But it was not because Annan was the Lord of Free City, but because he knew that Annan was a retinue of the Holy Grail Knight.
All knights are proud to be the Knights of the Holy Grail, and Noel is no exception.
Olmedo stayed here for the time being to negotiate. Annan first tore open the magic scroll to help the Bear Druid stop the bleeding, then opened the portal and sent it back to Liberty City for treatment.
