Apocalypse: Counterattack of a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 466: Where have all the people gone?

Views:

Zhan Rong has forgotten that their original intention of entering the city was to capture two outsiders and disguise themselves as them to sneak into the Gruul King City, but now, it has gone off the track.

However, Zhan Rong felt that this matter was not trivial. There was not even a decent Awakening Army in this gathering place. These people who were brought in to fill up the numbers were not decent at all. If there was really going to be a war, they would probably take the lead in running away.

After walking around in a circle, Zhan Rong bought a lot of things and took a look at the few soldiers who were following him. He left the thin man behind and let the others disperse.

Although they didn't want to leave, the light elves spoke. No matter how thoughtful they were, they could only stare.

The thin man was flattered and felt that his opportunity to leave this gathering place had finally come. His attitude towards Zhan Rong became more respectful. In his words, he also mentioned that he was willing to be driven by Zhan Rong, even if he was used as a servant.

Zhan Rong glanced at the empty gathering place and began to walk back. The thin man followed him, holding in his hands and arms all the food Zhan Rong bought.

Seeing the thin man's anxious display of hospitality, he said with a wary face, "I have to leave the city now and need to get to the royal city as soon as possible without any delay."

The thin man was a little anxious. His meaning was very obvious, but the elf didn't make it clear that he wanted to take him with him. Just when he didn't know what to do, Zhan Rong spoke again.

"What's going on in this gathering place? Tell the truth. If you have any difficulties, I can go to the royal city and talk to you." This is the biggest hint Zhan Rong can give. The ancient aliens were highly used in the Gruul domain, and the elves The clan is the top priority. As long as the elves help to speak to the higher authorities, what else can't be done

The thin man's eyes lit up, and he thought about it. He estimated that it was unlikely that he would follow someone to the royal city. If this man could recruit some soldiers for this gathering place, the safety of the entire gathering place would be guaranteed. Compared with running all the way to the royal city and not knowing what happened on the way, it was safer to stay here and guard the city gate.

After thinking about this, the thin man felt relieved and decided to tell the truth. The elves were originally the helpers of their Gruul domain and would not harm them.

"If you really want to help us, sir, why don't you tell the superiors for us and call in some awakening troops to garrison here, so that we can feel more at ease." The thin man looked at the battle face expectantly.

Zhan looked slightly surprised, pretending, "You have very few awakened troops here?"

The thin man smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It's not that there are few, it's that there are none at all."

Zhan Rong thought to himself that, as he expected, there was no decent Awakening Army in this gathering place at all. These people wearing Awakening Army uniforms were all temporarily recruited to fill up the numbers.

The thin man continued: "Originally, there were awakened troops in every gathering place. Even in small gathering places, there were still thousands of awakened troops. Since the war started, at first, each gathering place dispatched ordinary awakened troops to participate in the war. The remaining The second half defends the city."

"Not even two months later, orders were issued again from above to continue to mobilize the awakened troops from various gathering places. This would happen every three to five times, which resulted in all the decent awakened troops from a small gathering place like ours being transferred away. There was really no other way. It can be topped by those of us who are only in the awakening stage, otherwise a gathering place without any defense capability will be very dangerous."

Zhan Rong thought for a moment and then asked: "Is this the case in every gathering place, or is it just this gathering place?"

"I heard that the entire Gruul Territory is like this. Large gathering places provide more troops. Small gathering places like ours have much fewer troops, but the original number of awakened troops If it’s not enough, we can only forcibly recruit the awakened ones with good strength in the gathering area to join the army, and they must obey.”

So after this, there are no strong people in the entire gathering place who want to reach the heroic stage. The remaining awakened people who can't hold up the wall and the ordinary people who have no strength to restrain the chicken guard the gathering place. Everyone is alive. I had to be very nervous, fearing that I would lose my life in the next moment.

Zhan Rong nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he understood the situation here and would definitely respond to the situation when he arrived in the royal city and come up with practical and effective policies to protect the safety of the gathering place.

If the thin man got the light elf, even if he was half-convinced, there was not much he could do. He could only hope that the other party could really persuade the higher-ups for the safety of the gathering place.

The heavy city gate was opened again. The thin man walked Zhan Rong to the city gate, handed the bag in his arms to Zhan Rong, and then went back full of expectations.

Zhan's appearance was the same as when he came, and he walked forward slowly. Halfway there, the three people waiting in the forest were already anxious. Tang Shi directly sent out a mechanical flying bird. It was not big and not very noticeable. Can bring people back.

Zhan Rong was taken into the forest on a mechanical bird.

Several people felt relieved when they saw that Zhan Rong had returned intact and had bought a lot of food.

Zhan Rong told them one by one what he saw in the city, very carefully and objectively, without adding any of his own thoughts. Tang Shi and Yanxu would both judge the specifics, and there was no need for his speculation to interfere. .

Sure enough, after listening to Zhan Rong's answer, both Tang Shi and Yanxu fell silent.

They thought for a long time, raised their eyes and looked at each other without saying anything. Finally, they decided to take the "Beetle" and continue deeper. The situation in one gathering place could not be seen clearly, and they needed to see a few more gathering places to make a decision. Besides, what the pseudo-awakened army said, It may not be believable either.

The four people had already wasted a lot of time flying here from the northernmost part of Huazun Domain. They had no time to waste. If they wanted to find someone to use the disguise card, they could only wait for the opportunity.

The "Beetle" flies relatively high and is generally not easy to spot. A few days after they entered the Gruul Domain, Zhan Rong used the same method to enter a medium-sized gathering place. The situation he saw was similar to that of the remote town. There was not even a decent person. The Awakening Army did not. Then I looked at two more gathering places with different levels, and the results were still the same.

Because of Zhan Rong's identity as an elf, the larger the gathering place, the more respectful the attitude. In their opinion, this bright elf must have been sent down by the higher authorities to do things. When passing by their gathering place, they must of course be respectful.

I have encountered this kind of thing before. Many ancient alien races would pass through large gathering places. Food, drink, clothing, and supplies must be provided properly. Not only cannot they charge money, but they must be the best, otherwise the service will not be good. , if these ancient alien races go back and do something, they will no longer be able to survive.

The gathering place has no defense capabilities, so how can we dare to offend those big shots

So Zhan Rong went in and out of several gathering places, but no one noticed that his identity was wrong. Basically, he was greeted respectfully and sent out respectfully.

I didn't think about it when I entered the surrounding town for the first time, but I paid attention to Zhan Rong later. Basically, when you enter a gathering place, you will be politely accepted a lot of "filial piety".

Zhan Rong's filial piety is not as vulgar as those of the aliens. He doesn't want food, weapons, or battle cards. He only wants Yuaneng cards and energy crystals, which he calls "needs for fighting on the road." In this case, if each gathering place dares to neglect, they must do their best to show the "filial piety" of their respective gathering places.

After walking down from several gathering places, Zhan Rong collected a lot of energy cards and energy crystals. Zhan Rong could not use space cards, so he could only bring those space cards back and give them to Tang Shi.

Along the way, there were almost no awakened people out. Not only that, the gates of every gathering place were closed tightly, and not a single soldier guarding the city could be seen.

The thin man was right. Every gathering place was indeed empty. There was no Awakening Army. The remaining Awakenings were all discarded and defective products, and the rest were just ordinary people.

Several people gathered in the small living room to discuss the strangeness of this matter. If a gathering place is like this, it is not certain. Now that I have visited several gathering places in succession, they are all like this. It can almost be seen that the people in Gruul Domain are like this. The problem seems to be quite serious.

What worries Tang Shi and Yanxu even more is, where did the awakened troops and awakened people who were transferred go

According to Zhan Rong's understanding, the number of recruits given above is different depending on the size of the gathering place, but the quotas given are basically above the original number of awakened troops. What if the number of awakened troops is not enough? We can only start with the powerful awakened people in the gathering place. No matter what method we use, we must meet the quota given above, and no one can be missing.

After several times, almost all the strong men in various gathering places were evacuated.

Judging from the several battles they encountered in the Tang Dynasty, since it was a three-domain coalition and those with bloodline awakenings participated, the number was indeed quite large. However, compared with the current situation in the Gruul Domain, it was still very small and difficult to find. No, all the awakened troops on the battlefield are from the Gruul family? Don't be kidding, that's absolutely impossible. The Gruul Domain is not taken advantage of, so it's impossible to agree to such a thing.

Yanxu thought for a long time before speaking, "Change the direction and go to the Tiris Law Territory."

Tang Shi was stunned. They were very pressed for time now. Asa and Long Mian might have arrived at the Gruul King City. They had already wasted a lot of time exploring the situation at the gathering place. They would then divert to Tiris. Legal domain will only waste more time.

Seeing the three people looking at him, Yanxu spoke again, "The number of awakened troops on the battlefield is far from enough. These people will not disappear for no reason."

Tang Shi thought for a moment and understood what Yan Xu meant.

Go to the operation room in person, adjust the course, and go to Tiris Law Domain.

Just take a look at what's going on in the Tiris Domain and you'll know.

The Huazun Territory is located in the east. The lands of the Tahama Territory and the Gruul Territory intersect with the Huazun Territory. Only the Tiris Law Territory is at the southernmost edge of the entire human domain, separated by the Gruul Territory. The Huazun Domain does not have any territory that intersects, and the distance is relatively far. If you want to go from the Tiris Domain to the Huazun Domain, you must pass through the Gruul Domain and the Tahama Domain. Therefore, if you want to investigate the situation, you must go to Tiris Domain. A trip to the Reese Law Territory.
