After another aftershock, the crowd finally removed Mayor Grove from the rubble.One of his legs was completely shattered, and his chest was squeezed, but he was still tenaciously dying, and he did not lose his life.Next to him, the head of the militia, who was also buried by the collapsed wall, was not so lucky. A falling rock hit him in the back of the head. When others dug him out, he was completely out of breath.

Realizing that the two persons in charge of the town had lost their ability to "responsible", the people surrounding the town hall suddenly panicked.Some people yelled to find a doctor, some wanted to go home to visit their wives and children, some cried bitterly looking at the ruined town, each one was like ants on a hot pot, chaotic and anxious but didn’t know what to do .

"Organize them! Don't let them be annoying here!" Amir shouted impatiently at Hill.

Hill was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that he had become the most prestigious person in the town, and quickly took a deep breath, trying to restrain his mind.

—what should he do?what can he do

After a little thought, Hill didn't yell like the others. He turned around and walked to the two men who were going to rescue the mayor at the beginning, grabbed the arm of the taller one, and looked straight into his eyes. He said loudly and very clearly, "Mr. William, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I appoint you to be the interim head of the militia during this extraordinary period!"

The man caught by Hill couldn't help being stunned, his eyes widened in surprise.

Hill didn't have time to wait for him to recover, and continued to speak loudly, "Now, I beg you, Mr. William, to gather all militia members in the town and tell the survivors to gather at the central square. I need your help, everyone else We need your help even more!"

"Obey, Your Excellency!" William immediately stood up straight, gave a non-standard knight salute to Hill, then turned around immediately, and quickly rushed to the east street.

Hill turned to another member of the militia and said, "Mr. Jason, I don't know what kind of position I can give you, but I know that you are familiar with everyone in the town, so I need you to stay here and help My rescue work!"

"Of order, Your Excellency!" Jason hurriedly followed William's example and returned Hill with a more substandard knight's salute.

Hill really wanted to tell him that people who have not received a knighthood are not qualified to use this kind of etiquette, but he finally endured it rationally, turned around, led Jason to the other people in front of the town hall, and followed each other. Delegate tasks to them.

Perhaps it was because someone was finally willing to take responsibility, or perhaps it was because of the deterrence of the two magicians, all the officials and civilians gathered near the town hall unconditionally accepted Hill's assignment, and Amir also obeyed Hill's order , followed the assembled members of the militia to various residential houses, and rescued those residents who were unfortunately buried under the wall.

But before setting off, Amir pulled Kiki aside, put it in his ear, and whispered: "Use your strength, don't let the mayor die, but don't let him recover completely, let alone Expose your strength."

Kiki gives Amir a suspicious look, but nods anyway.

Amir turned and left, while Kiki narrowed his eyes and focused his attention on Mayor Grove's body.The only doctor in the town had been dragged to the central square by the members of the militia, and was squatting beside Mayor Grove, ready to examine his injuries.

Keech hurriedly held his breath and concentrated on repairing most of the blood vessels and organs in Grove's chest before the doctor's examination.

Keech's secret help brought a smile to the doctor's face soon, and while announcing loudly that the mayor would live, he hurriedly stopped the bleeding from his leg injury.

Everyone around breathed a sigh of relief, Hill also smiled with relief, thanked the doctor loudly, and then continued his command work, placing the usable tables, chairs and stationery picked from the town hall on the On the open space away from the building, two young men who could write were arranged to count the casualties and losses of each household.

At this time, the mayor Grove's wife led two daughters and rushed over from the house first, but seeing Grove's tragic condition, the lady immediately passed out, and it took time for the doctor to explain to her. Not given.On the contrary, their eldest daughter, Sandora, was very calm, and asked her sister to follow the others to help her mother aside, while she walked up to Hill and asked him to arrange tasks for her.

"I'm very glad that you can lend a helping hand, Miss Sandora." Hill said politely, and then immediately forced himself to get to the point, "I need someone to help Doctor Montgomery treat the wounded. Later, Food and quilts will be needed—I'm sure you can tell that we're going to be in this square for tonight and for quite some time to come."

"I understand. I will call the women in the town to collect what you need." Sandora nodded, "There should be a lot of food in the cellar of my house, and you can send someone to fetch it. But the cellar has been destroyed now. Buried by bricks and tiles, you may have to send some strong young men to complete this important task."

"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Sandora." Hill replied with a smile, "I will remember the Grove family's sincere contributions in this unfortunate incident, and I believe His Majesty the Emperor will give you the praise you deserve. "

"Let's talk about those things after the disaster is completely over!" Sandora shrugged disapprovingly, then turned and shouted at the maid who came with her, telling her to follow her to find other women in the town.

Keech stared blankly at Sandra going away, and finally couldn't help but grabbed Hill's sleeve and asked seriously, "What can I do?"

"Being by my side makes me feel at ease." Hill said with a smile, seeing that Kiki was obviously not satisfied with such consolation, he immediately turned to say, "The wounded will be delivered soon, I need you to prepare clean water Help them wash their wounds."

Saying that, Hill lowered his head, put his mouth next to Kidge's ear, and said in a voice that only he could hear, "Don't waste your strength too much, protect yourself first."

"Yeah." Kitty nodded solemnly.

Hill patted him on the shoulder and was about to say something more when the first batch of wounded from East Street had been sent to the central square.Hill hurriedly let go of Keech, placed the wounded in the cleared area, and asked Dr. Montgomery to check their injuries.

Just as the wounded were settled down, Sandora rushed back with several young women and a lot of clean cloth.

"Mage Kiki, please help them!" Hill immediately raised his voice and shouted to Kiki.

Keech had no choice but to follow the women to Dr. Montdemery's side.

Seeing Keech coming over, Dr. Montdemery was also a little embarrassed, apparently not knowing how to ask Keech to help him.

"Are you a magician of the light department?" Fortunately, the doctor in his 40s had some insight, so he quickly asked tentatively.

"No, I'm better at water magic." Keech shook his head, chanted a spell, condensed a fist-sized water ball, and directed it to fall on the wound of the wounded in front of Montdemery, along the wound Turned around slowly.

After the water ball was removed, the wound immediately showed a fresh and clean blood red.

Dr. Montgomery opened his eyes wide in surprise, and immediately took the cloth strips from the helping woman, bound the wounds of the wounded, and at the same time asked Keech to help the next wounded.

Keech controlled the water polo awkwardly, and said, "Can you give me a bucket first?"

Although Montdemery didn't understand why Keech wanted a bucket, he still asked a young woman next to him to fetch one for him.

Keech threw the water polo into the bucket, gathered a new water polo, and began to clean the wound for the next wounded.

This method of cleaning the wound was actually Kiki's desperate effort to clean up his body when it was inconvenient to wash and keep himself tidy.Later, Amir noticed that since this water polo can "suck" away the dirt on the body, it can also purify the dirt in the wound, so he asked Kiki to test it on the wounded number of the adventure team, and the effect was very good. Simply attach the name of "water purification" to it, and let Kiki use it as a healing spell.

Of course, this water polo cannot replace medicine, but Keech usually quietly helps the wounded heal the wound while cleaning the wound. In addition, a clean wound is more conducive to recovery, so the wound washed by the "water purification" is often better than direct application The medicine is even more effective, and the members of the adventure team also regard it as a real healing magic.

After Tina learned of this, she encouraged Kidge to include "Water Purification" as a new spell in the Magic Encyclopedia of the Magic Association, but Amir suppressed it on the grounds that the magic attributes were not stable enough and the spells were not accurate. .

But washing the wound in this way will also cause a problem, that is, the dirt separated from the wound is often toxic, and additional treatment must be carried out, and the relevant water elements cannot be dissipated in the body like ordinary waste water bombs. in the air.Amir took this incident as the rules for using the "water purification technique" and let Kiki remember it. Therefore, although he was just cleaning up some dust and mud, Kiki still deliberately asked for a wooden bucket and threw the used water polo Enter it and let it turn into ordinary sewage.

Since he has been focusing on controlling the water elements, Keech soon noticed that the water elements in the sky were rapidly increasing at an extremely fast speed, and the sun that should have been high in the sky was also covered by the gradually dense clouds.

"Hill!" Keech hurriedly stood up and shouted in the direction of Hill, "It's going to rain!"

"What?!" Hill couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously looked up, only to find that there were really many dark clouds that hadn't been seen for a long time in the sky, and a long-lost heavy rain was obviously approaching.

——The rain came at the right time!

Hill suppressed the urge to swear, and immediately shouted at the others, "Put down your work, put up the tent first, and let the wounded and children in!!!"

Under the shouts of Keech and Hill, the others also noticed the vision in the sky, and hurriedly followed Hill's instructions to set up the simple tent that was going to be set up later, and put the wounded and several A young child was carried in.

Fortunately, the earthquake occurred during the daytime, and the town was mostly low-rise buildings. Most people left the houses in time. The number of injured people was far less than Hill expected, and most of them were not serious scratches and smashes. Injury, there are very few unlucky guys like the militia leader.

However, although most people are fine, nine out of ten houses they live in have encountered accidents. Standing in the center of the town, the only complete house is the town hall at the corner of the square.It is precisely because of this that the residents of the town responded to Hill's call and gathered in the central square with their families—they had nowhere to go.

Not long after the tent was set up, a heavy rain came suddenly.If there hadn't been an earthquake, many people here would have laughed and rushed into the rain to enjoy the joy of the long drought and sweet rain. However, at this moment, no one can laugh. People can only brave the heavy rain and silently build more A tent for shelter from the wind and rain.

When the tent was set up, Keech was forced by Hill to follow Dr. Montdemery and the wounded into the tent, but Hill himself stayed in the rain and continued the unfinished aftermath work with others. .

In the heavy rain, the earth, unwilling to be lonely, shook again. The town hall, which was still standing firm in the rain, also completely fell down in this shaking. There was a loud bang, which frightened the children who were already restless and frightened. have to cry again.

But at this time, no one could spare their minds to comfort them, and their relatives could only hold them tighter.

Fortunately, the heavy rain did not last too long. After more than half an hour, the sun showed its fiery face again, dispelling the untimely shower.

Hill hurriedly organized people to boil hot water to keep everyone warm, and asked Amir to accompany Sandra and take a few young men to dig the cellar of Grove's house so that they could prepare enough food before dark. food.

After some orderly tossing, most of the people lived in simple tents built with colorful curtains and branches and wood blocks, and everyone who could eat was also given a dinner that was enough to satisfy their hunger.Although the ground still shook from time to time, everyone's hearts finally began to settle down.Some children had already fallen asleep soundly on the beds dragged out of the ruins, and the adults also gathered in front of the campfire, talking in low voices about today's misfortune.

After dinner, Hill, accompanied by Keech, gathered Amir, Sandra, William, Jason, Montdemery, and several other well-known people in the town who were willing to contribute, and discussed step-by-step response plan.

But before they could discuss a specific implementation plan, there was a rush of horseshoes on the streets east of the town.

Hill and the others looked up in surprise, and saw five men with long swords in their waists and hips riding five horses galloping forward, and they had already arrived in front of them in a blink of an eye.

The men in the town immediately grabbed the things around them that could be used as weapons vigilantly, while the women and children opened their eyes wide in horror, for fear that the visitors were a group of dangerous gangsters.

Hill, however, quickly recognized the leader, stood up to meet him, and called out his name loudly.

"McPhee?!"

"Hill Balotelli?!"

The rider whose name was called by Hill also recognized Hill, immediately got off his horse, opened his arms happily, and hugged Hill who was covered in mud.
