Quadruple split

Game time: PM22:13

Misha County, Sprout City City Hall

City Lord Leifen Furhoof is sitting behind his extremely large desk. This is not because the former likes to be extravagant and wasteful. In fact, this half-orc man with mammoth blood can only adapt to this size. If this desk is smaller, It can only be used as a bench for him.

"You don't seem to be in good condition, Rafen."

Opposite, a slim elf woman with a pretty face, wearing a high-level priest's robe, was sitting lazily on a small chair. She smiled faintly, and did not look at the Lord of the City in front of her. Instead, she lowered her head and played with it. He was licking his nails and holding a slender cross like a staff in his arms.

"Not only is it not very good, it is simply terrible, Your Highness Xia Lian." City Lord Lei Fen shook his head vigorously, and smiled bitterly at the saint in front of him who had helped him a lot some time ago: "It's not me, but In this city, we have established some camps to house civilians infected with the plague, but new infected people are always appearing, and outside the city, large swaths of dead people, food, medicine, and treatment personnel are everywhere every day. , there is nothing missing, to be honest, without the help of the paladins you left behind, all those poor people outside the city would have died long ago."

Although this is the main room of the city hall, Refn Furhoof is still wearing a suit of cold steel armor, with a rusty heavy sword as big as a door panel stuck upside down on his back. His body is wet, except for the rain. There were also large areas of dark red bloodstains outside, which were falling drop by drop along the outer edge of the armor, forming small puddles on the uneven floor under Rafen.

"I'm sorry that I didn't stay with you for two more days before." Xia Lian sighed softly and said apologetically: "Maybe I should have left you with a few more people."

"This is not your fault, Your Highness Xia Lian."

Rafen shook his head like a rattle, and said angrily: "If you want to blame it, you can only blame this damn plague. If you are just unwilling to raise your head to see me because of guilt, then there is no need. You are Sprout City His benefactor is also my benefactor.”

"You misunderstood, Lei Fen." Xia Lian shrugged and continued to play with her nails with her head down: "I just feel that it is too tiring to look at you with my neck raised all the time."

Rafen: "..."

"Okay, no more joking." The Elf Saint stretched, then stood up and walked to the other party, raising her eyebrows and said: "How did you get yourself into this situation? There are already so many mutants Can’t control it anymore?”

Xia Lian remembered that Lei Fen was not like this when she came here last time. The Mammoth City Lord was wearing a dress robe that could be used as a sail all day long, and he kept himself tidy most of the time. Although His personality and temper are not much different from now, but at least he still looks like a city lord, but now...

"He looks like a handsome adventurer, right?" Leifen laughed, raised two dirty hands and wiped them on his breastplate: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the situation is not bad enough yet. To the point where the city lord is ready to go into battle."

Xia Lian looked at him amusedly: "Did you put on this outfit on purpose and roll around in the mud outside?"

"At night, many people in the camp outside the city turned into monsters."

Refn sighed and looked down at the blood on his palm: "Although there are two teams of paladins you left behind and those adventurers who volunteered to help, I, the city lord, must do something. Instead of spending the whole day It’s easier to stay here and watch Sprout City lose its vitality day by day than it is to go out and fight with those warriors, and I’m still somewhat strong, so even if I get a little injured or something, it’s hard to be infected.”

"It's admirable." Xia Lian smiled and nodded: "When disaster strikes, someone has to stand up, although even standing up may not be of any use."

City Lord Leifen choked up at that time: "Uh-huh... Your Highness, is it appropriate for you to say that?!"

"What's appropriate or inappropriate? Why can't you curse someone if you have faith?"

Xia Lian curled her lips indifferently, but then her face became serious, she suppressed a smile and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the gossip is almost over. I didn't come back so soon just to talk to you about home affairs."

Lei Fen sat upright seriously (and then slumped back again under Xia Lian's gaze), and whispered: "Is it about organizing a collective relocation of everyone?"

"No." Xia Lian shook her head, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a smile of unknown meaning: "I asked you to prepare for migration before because there was no hope at all, but now the situation has changed, so I just asked you to prepare for the migration in such a short time. Nei came back from the north."

Lei Fen's eyes widened and he patted the table in surprise: "So not organizing the relocation means there is still hope now? Has the Sanctuary decided to send a large number of troops to rescue us?!"

"I'm sorry, the Sanctuary still can't spare any manpower for the time being."

Xia Lian replied awkwardly, then raised the star-gold cross and put it on Rafen's shoulders, lowering the latter's body a little more (the chair made an ominous creaking sound): "But we can Save yourself.”

"Self-save?" Lei Fen's face darkened, and he spread his hands helplessly and said: "What can we do to save ourselves? You don't know the situation in Sprout City. If we continue like this, everyone will die. Everyone is likely to be infected. As long as you catch the plague, you may turn into a monster. Now there are half-dead things everywhere around our city. It is difficult to escape, how can we save ourselves..."

Xia Lian raised her eyebrows proudly: "We found a commander who has solved many problems without any support, far beyond the expected problems, so I want him to give it a try."

"Commander?" Rafen's eyebrows knitted together tightly, and he said in confusion: "Not a healer, apothecary, or a powerful sage, magic god, or paladin leader, but a... uh, commander official?"

"That's right." Xia Lian nodded briskly and smiled: "A very promising little guy."

【brat? 】

The city lord of Sprout City was obviously a little confused, but he was not confused for too long. After all, if we really talk about age, even he, who will celebrate his fifty-seventh birthday next month, can be classified as a 'little guy'. 'This category, so Rafen just thought about it for a moment, and then asked very eagerly: "Are you talking about General Dureny of the Principality of Scaran? I heard that he once defeated it with two cavalry troops. Killed the beast tide in Mirkwood!"

"Well, I've heard about this too." Xia Lian blinked, then shook her head and said, "But it's not General Dulenni."

Rafen asked hurriedly: "That's the Great Knight Harrington of the Sun Sect! He has been fighting the barbarians on the side of Guillotine for more than ten years, and he has been able to severely defeat the barbarians every time. , Could it be that..."

Xia Lian curled her lips: "I don't like that mean guy very much, and he has been transferred back to the City of Light since last month. Next, he may lead a team to support Sumir in the north..."

"Is that Grand Duke Adolf of the Adolf Free Territory?" City Lord Leifen looked at Xia Lian with burning eyes and said quickly: "Twenty years ago, he severely defeated a long-planned rebellion in the country and was known as the military leader. God, even blocked the steps of three great sword masters!"

"Adolf's Free Territory is in the Southwest Continent!"

Xia Lian stared at Lei Fen with a pained face and sighed: "Can you think through your thoughts before you speak!"

The Lord of the City of Refn continued to be enthusiastic: "Is that the Counselor Lamorlock of the Dreamland Theocracy? He fought a particularly beautiful battle some time ago. It is said that he occupied half of the northern county of the Griffin Dynasty in one go!"

"The Dream Kingdom is also in the Southwest Continent!" Two veins popped out from Xia Lian's forehead, and a big bump popped up on Lei Fen's forehead: "You must be poisonous!"

The latter grinned and said, "I'm quite concerned about this aspect..."

"None of them." Xia Lian simply stopped trying to make excuses. She spread her hands and said, "He is just an ordinary priest of our Dawn Sect."

Rafen's little face froze at that moment: "An... ordinary priest?"

The elf saint nodded vigorously and said proudly: "I even picked up a saint!"

The Lord City Lord took a breath of cold air: "Fuck! Are you in love?!"

"What the hell!"

Bang! !

Two minutes later, the city lord of Sprout City, Leifen Maoho, struggled to get up from the ground. His head seemed to be half a circle bigger than before. He asked with a sad face: "I am a young priest who has just become a believer. How about you?" Do you really believe it?"

"Heh." Xia Lian chuckled and said leisurely: "The young priest wiped out all the monsters north of the Dagger Sheath Bridge during the time I left. Last night, he also ensured that Mida and Hofer were safe." Regarding the supply lines from the two cities to this side, if nothing unexpected happens, a large amount of food will be delivered to you within three days to relieve your urgent need."

Rafen, who had just gotten up, fell back down before he could stand firmly. He asked with a shocked look on his face: "Have all the monsters in the north been wiped out? Can we have supplies?!"

"That's more or less what you mean." Xia Lian nodded with a smile, then stepped forward and grabbed the other person. As a result, when she raised her hand to the highest level, Lei Fen, who was pulled by the collar, was still half sitting on the ground. Her Royal Highness the Saint had no choice but to Throwing him back again: "Do you have a little more confidence?"

Lei Fen nodded like a fool: "Yes! Even if half of what you said just now was boastful, I'm still confident!"

"Very good, then I need your cooperation."

Xia Lian nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "First of all, we will set up camp in the Gudami Plain in the south. We hope that Xinya City will provide us with some wood, stones and other things. You should not be short of these here. It is best to We will send a few trucks to transport it before noon tomorrow, so there is no need to worry about safety issues on the road. The large troops are already there now, and they will eliminate the danger in advance."

"no problem."

Refn didn't hesitate.

Xia Lian was not surprised by his reaction. She just smiled and continued: "Secondly, I need you to gather the low-level professionals, clergy and civilians in the city who are willing to help, and then ask them to rush to Gudami as soon as possible. Plains, the faster the better, we must concentrate our efforts together."

"Uh, did you just say civilians?"

Lei Fen, who had a high degree of trust in Xia Lian, nodded first, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "How is this possible? My Holy Lady, everyone's current mentality is bad enough. Those who stayed in various union branches Leaving aside the adventurers and mercenaries in the ministry, shouldn’t the civilians be protected?”

"It is a virtue for powerful people to protect the weak, but this does not mean that the weak do not have the right to protect themselves. They voluntarily take up arms to fight for themselves, and no one is qualified to stop them, including you and me." Xia Lian He turned his head and glanced at the city without any lights outside the window, and said softly: "This is what the child said before. I think this sentence is very reasonable. What do you think, Rafen?"

The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if I agree, it doesn't mean they will really 'pick up weapons and fight for themselves'~"

"I will give you a notice. You can make some copies of it and post it in the city. Trust me, it will be effective." Xia Lian took out a roll of parchment from her sleeves and smiled: " In the words of Xiao Yuying, yes, a perfect copywriting."

"Okay, I will do it." Lei Fen took the parchment from Xia Lian's hand with hesitation, and then frowned: "There are also matters about the clergy. Your Highness, the Saint, you should know about the situation in Sprout City, this plague The spread is so weird. All the people who are still here are outside the city to help the infected civilians alleviate the situation. If you transfer them at this time, I am afraid that within two days all those poor people will become What a monster."

Xia Lian glared at him angrily: "Do you think I wouldn't think of such a thing?"

"Then why are you still..."

"Listen to the sounds outside."

"Sounds outside?"

"Yes, listen carefully~"

a moment later

"I...I heard it." Leifen Maoho rushed to the window in surprise, tried his best to stick his swollen head out of the window, and murmured: "It's a bit far, there are many people , they were yelling, as if..."

"Praise the goddess." Xia Lian gently closed her eyes. She was much better than Lei Fen. Even if she was not close to the window, she could clearly hear the bursts of excited shouts outside the city. The Holy Maiden of Dawn smacked in a low voice. He smacked his lips and murmured in an imperceptible voice: "I didn't expect that girl to really do it. Even I can't kill so many people in one breath..."

Rafen scratched his head: "What did you say?"

"Outside the city."

Xia Lian reopened her eyes and whispered: "Another saint is saving those infected with the plague and giving them health and hope. If nothing unexpected happens, this news will spread throughout the city soon. Reach everyone’s ears.”

"what do you mean……"

"We save them, and then we take them with us to save themselves."
