The sun was as bright as gold, shining on the frozen stone path.
The three of them stood in the middle of the road in front of the tower, and soldiers and civilians were gradually surrounding them. However, some smart people among them discovered that two of the two parties in the conversation were their immediate bosses, so after a while, the crowd dispersed, and everyone simply returned to do their own work.
Keely's tone was not serious, and seemed to be a simple inquiry. After all, a girl who looked like a teenager was indeed not dangerous, and there was no need for him to be wary. At most, they were just a little curious as to what the little girl who had been following them wanted to do.
But obviously, the other person had a different opinion.
"etc!"
As a mage, even though he is old, Feng's perception and memory are still a level higher than those of a warrior like Kili. He frowned, his golden eyes flashing with surprise: "Silver level! Such a young Baiyin …Sure enough, Keely, take a closer look at the style of this dress!”
Since she had no intention of hiding it, the silver-haired girl was actually not surprised that she was discovered.
But after hearing these words, not only Keely, but even Yingying herself was stunned. Miss Shenji subconsciously turned sideways and looked at what she was wearing—a white women's double-breasted military dress. , not luxurious, not tacky, nothing strange, very ordinary.
But after looking carefully, Keely seemed to have discovered something. He nodded thoughtfully and said: "You are right, I overlooked it... Yes, the design style is exactly the same."
(What on earth is going on with these two people.)
Yingying frowned, somewhat confused as to what the other party wanted to do. At first, the masked warrior just asked why she wanted to follow them. Why did the topic suddenly jump to clothing design
Now she can't help but want to reveal her identity and prove that she is also loyal to the Lord of Moldavia - although it will expose the fact that she is lost...
"Ahem..."
After a moment of silence, and then a slight cough, Feng walked up to Ying. He bent slightly and looked straight at the silver-haired girl in front of him: "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Mr. Amos?"
"Mr. Amos? Do you mean Fan?"
After subconsciously saying it, Ying immediately understood the reason for the clothes style that the other party discussed before - if Shenji's clothes were not deliberately changed, then after the magic appeared, they would all appear in fixed styles, and the design style was very single. It's said to be the same.
As long as you are familiar with it after watching it for a long time, it is not difficult to find that the uniform she wears is the same style as the old Shenji from the previous generation.
"really."
Although there was no formal answer, the result was the same. The white-haired mage nodded. He looked very satisfied with his identification ability: "Whether it is a mortal or a steward of my father's, the design of the Moldavia family's deacon uniform has never changed, even if it is replaced by The same goes for women’s clothing.”
"The deacon family that has followed the Radcliffe family for generations, this generation is actually female." The half-elf warrior also understood the reason why Yingying followed them: "You should also come to see the young master, so let's go together."
This group of people seems to have a subtle misunderstanding about the existence of the divine machine.
Yingying sighed, but felt a subtle sense of relief. She nodded and said softly: "Okay."
—Conference Hall, a few minutes later.
"... During this Black Tide invasion, due to the emergence of gold-level mammoth behemoths, more than a quarter of the fortress' wall facing the Black Forest collapsed. It is now being urgently repaired through the petrification spell of the elemental mage. And after temporary statistics and battlefield Cleaning up the report, seven knights died in this battle, 131 soldiers died, and nearly 700 were injured."
The white-haired mage had several scribbled reports in his hand, which he compiled when he sent Zolgen for treatment. Since the professional soldiers in the entire fortress were only over two thousand, it was not difficult to count them, so although this report There's no guarantee the data is completely correct, but the approximate numbers won't make much difference.
"Because when the city wall was breached, a few wild beasts broke into the fortress, causing some civilians to be injured. Fortunately, no one lost their lives."
Joshua sat on the bench in the conference room. He reached out and took the reports handed over by Feng. He looked through them for a while, and then he couldn't help but wonder: "When I came here, I happened to see the giant beast hitting the city wall. Is that right?" I don’t know much about the previous situation, but simply looking at the numbers, the losses this time don’t seem to be large, and they don’t seem to be consistent with the previous tense situation.”
When he saw the city wall collapse, he thought that at least a thousand people would die, so he fell directly, and then used strong techniques to kill the gold-level mammoth beast as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he could have I don't know how much easier it would be to fight for a while, find the weak point and then kill with one blow than relying solely on brute force.
"If we just look at the number of casualties, facing the siege of 50,000 wild beasts, we only sacrificed so many people, which can indeed be regarded as a small loss."
Killy, who was standing aside, took over the words at this time. He shook his head. This half-elf warrior had been standing on the front line and understood what was going on: "Warcraft does not have many siege methods, except for brute force. They are constantly climbing the walls and piling up corpses, and most of our city walls and fortresses are protected by T-shaped structures. Facing this kind of opponent, theoretically we should be at an absolute advantage."
"But in fact, even if we have an absolute advantage in defending the city, and even have hundreds of silver warriors going back and forth to clean up the monsters climbing the city wall, we still lost all of them under the crazy and sacrificial attack of the wild beasts. The satellite fortress has lost a lot of supplies and heavy equipment. Countless enchanted arrows and alchemy products were spent on the defense of the fortress... In addition, the opponent also has golden monsters. If you hadn't arrived in time, young master, the entire fortress would have been destroyed. There are only a few living people.”
This is indeed not a lie. If Joshua did not arrive in time, then the unstoppable mammoth beast could indeed destroy the entire fortress.
Fortunately, what humans are best at is using tools to create advantages for themselves. Two thousand regular troops plus daily militia training troops are completely enough if they are just defending the city. Although 50,000 wild beasts are numerous in number, but in a short time It is impossible to attack the city wall so quickly.
When the mammoth beast attacks, it doesn't care whether it is a monster or a human being who is trampled to pulp under its feet. Therefore, after a gap appears in the city wall, the number of beasts who dare to pounce directly is not many. Within a few seconds, Qiao Xiuya descended from the sky, killed the golden beast, and then scared off the entire herd.
From this point of view, it is indeed normal for the losses to be small. However, as Keely said, the consumed enchanted arrows and alchemy shells are indeed a large expenditure. Joshua is now starting to feel a little worried. Moldavia Can you come up with this money
And, no matter what, many people died, and this was an avoidable loss.
This world that seems to be like a game is undoubtedly real. Death is death, and life is only once.
However, probably because of this, I want to pursue something.
"Thank you both for your reports.
Putting away the scrawled report in his hand and handing it to Yingying who was standing behind him, Joshua said thoughtfully to the two of them: "Although there is still some information that is not perfect, now I can see that the two I'm very tired, so I won't say much more. In a few days, Feng, you will give me a formal document, and that's it for today."
"Yes! Sir."
Before leaving, Feng seemed hesitant to speak, but finally spoke out after Keely opened the door to the conference room.
"Maybe it's an illusion." The old mage said: "Master, I remember feeling the breath of the thing you took out from the mammoth beast's body before."
"Feng, are you sure?"
Have you ever felt the breath of an abyssal derivative
Hearing these words, Joshua, who had been deep in thought, suddenly became serious. He even took out the silver egg-shaped object that was still shrunk into a ball from his pocket and handed it to the other party: "Look at it. Recall it carefully, where is the aura of this?"
"…White Dragon."
Taking the silver egg transformed from the derivative of the sea abyss, the white-haired mage felt it with his mind, and then said with certainty: "A few months ago, I felt similar fluctuations in the group of white dragons in the snowfield. .”
I'm currently transitioning the plot, so I'll have a third update tonight, and I'm about to get to the main topic of this volume...
If you think there is something wrong with this book, please don't hesitate to reply and tell me what's wrong.
By the way, I will explain how the protagonist becomes the leader of this battle group in the extra chapter... In fact, he knows how to fight the boss, but he doesn't need to know the story behind the boss. After all, the game is not related to this real world. The difference is that compared to NPCs, people communicate more with each other. There are still a small number of enthusiasts who like to understand the story and setting of the game in depth and remember it clearly.
