Chapter 142: Chaos (3)
(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)
www.mpzw.com) The fire dragon was firmly tied to the ground, and it struggled and bit indiscriminately, and was killed by the sword of the city guards who rushed forward.
On the other side of the city, the crusaders stared blankly at Alice, who was still yawning and rubbing her eyes. At this point, they finally understood why Loria had warned them not to provoke her.
"Why are you still stunned?" Loria, who was standing on the roof, shouted down, "Go put out the fire and save people!"
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to increase the prestige of the Scarlet Crusaders. If it weren't for the fire dragon's indiscriminate attack on all humans, Loria would have thought it was a messenger sent by the Light.
Kana and Pol gathered the followers of the Light who could still be found, and together they went to the south of the city to help the wounded, while the others all went to the west of the city to save people. ”
All the crusaders acted on Loria's instructions.
Loria climbed off the roof, turned and ran back to the church, rummaging through the clutter in the basement, Nomi who was right behind her grabbed the corner of her dress in fear.
When she learned that Loria was going to put out the fire, Nomi shook her head vigorously and obediently tied herself to a pillar.
Loria pouted and dragged a pump out of the basement.
She ran out into the street, trying to find Ahri to take her to the riverside of the city's landscape, but there was no answer—presumably out of the beast's instinct to fear fire—and she had to drag her heavy pump and staggered forward.
On the way, she saw the Earl's old butler with a large number of city guards carrying sledgehammers and began to demolish the wooden buildings adjacent to the east and north of the city, apparently with the intention of protecting the community inhabited by the nobility and the upper class from spreading.
Seeing the skyrocketing fire not far away, and hearing the screams and howls coming from time to time, Loria thought: Although it is rational to stop the loss in time, from now on, you have already lost.
She ignored the men and slipped into the paths she had already knew.
……
The little girl, who was pinned down by the beam and couldn't move, lay on her back, quietly watching a section of the beam on fire fall towards her head. A stout hand covered in iron armor suddenly reached out, knocking the burning beam that grew larger and larger in his eyes.
The little girl turned her head and saw a middle-aged uncle with a faint light all around her. He lifted the beam that was holding him down and picked himself up.
"Be careful. Leotus, who was hugging the girl, whispered, then wrapped his body around her and rushed to the window.
Although he is middle-aged, he is still agile.
Riding on his back, Riotus rolled on the ground and stood up, the little girl in his arms unharmed.
With one hand, he unfastened his flaming cloak and threw it behind him, and the flaming cloak flew up the street that separated the two flames.
"Mr. Knight. The little girl who looked up at Riotus called.
"Huh?" said Riotus looked at the girl in his arms with a deep, serene gaze.
The girl was silent for a moment, looking at the door of her house, which was still intact and unobstructed, and asked.
"Why don't you walk through the door?"
“……”
……
Despite being prepared for the severity of the situation, Kana was still shocked by the tragic awakening that unfolded in front of her.
The dead are innumerable, and the number of minor and serious injuries is incalculable.
As a high-ranking priest, she ordered the Spirit-focused Pol to use the Holy Light to heal the wounded, and commanded several well-known Nord Light followers to help and maintain order. As soon as the arrangements were made, she took out a sacred candle from her robe and walked into the crowd.
Pushing away the relatives of the deceased who were weeping around the corpses, she examined the bodies one by one - most of them had just died and were still intact. She lit and planted a sacred candle in front of a woman's corpse, ignoring the extreme noise and chaos around her, and quickly chanted sacred prayers.
A holy light tore through the deep night sky and descended on the dead woman, who sat up sharply and came back to life as a corpse.
The people gathered around the woman, who looked like her husband and children, bowed frantically in the direction Kana had left, after the initial incredulity, ecstasy, and bitter weeping.
"Why bother the peace that already belongs to her. In the crowd, the elderly priest of death, Sandru, saw this scene and shook his head lightly and whispered.
Of course, no one would pay attention to him, and people frantically rushed towards Kana, begging her to save their loved ones.
"Get down!" shouted the priestess, and the first to approach her fell to her knees, clutching their heads.
The crowd slowed down slightly, and when they found out that the person who had been attacked by the priestess was not dead, they rushed up again, anxious about the life and death of their loved ones.
Helplessly, Kana opened her mouth to scream, and the silent fear spread, finally stopping the onslaught of the crowd.
"Keep order. She reassured people loudly, "You will all be helped." ”
Kana, who had temporarily calmed the people, lit the sacred candle in her hand and walked towards the next resurrected corpse with a solemn face.
There's no way she's going to help everyone - she's the only healers on the team, Pol and Bol are the only ones on the team, the other paladins are almost all good at punishment, and the two priests who were sent to rescue people trapped by the fire are both Discipline Priests who specialize in stopping damage.
Although they also knew resurrection and some healing skills, in such a chaotic environment, they probably wouldn't be able to recite even the prayers for primary healing, let alone use resurrection—even if they were successful, their rusty and demonic healing skills would be a drop in the bucket in the face of so many dead and wounded.
After resurrecting nine of the dead, Kana had to start deliberately stalling for time - she felt like her magic was half gone.
Slowing down, pretending to pray before lighting the candles, adding a long meaningless chant before the prayer of the resurrection, she seized every opportunity to wait for the magic to return......
The Holy Knight Pol did as Kana instructed him to only use the Holy Light Flash to heal the wounded - unlike Kana's expensive skills, he was confident that he could continue to cast the Holy Light Flash until he was exhausted...... As for his best record, it lasted three full days.
But he has another trouble of his own: although the endurance is extremely strong, the outbreak is insufficient, and he even needs to continue treatment for a few minutes when encountering a seriously injured person.
Although it was taken on his full body plate armor and the big sword used to sell cuteness behind his back, the crowd remained orderly for the time being...... But if those at the back of the queue die who are not treated in time, riots with even greater casualties will be inevitable.
Taking risks in order to achieve greater results will only ruin the eldest lady's plan in turn...... Afterwards, Pol complained to Kana in his heart...... If she hadn't used resurrection in the first place, instead healing the wounded with herself, she wouldn't have reached such a stalemate now.
Those who have already seen the resurrection will never allow her to stop resurrecting again.
Having grown up in the war, they clearly lacked the experience of facing ordinary people.
Exhausted of her magic, Kana sat down on the ground with a pale face, and she realized her mistake. The crowd, which had been pacified, began to stir again, and it seemed that a large number of people on Bol's side were beginning to die because they were not treated in time.
She couldn't imagine what a person who saw a glimmer of hope in despair would do when that glimmer of hope was also dashed. She and Pol were sure to escape, of course, but a riot would mean complete defeat.
Kana bit her lip so hard that blood dripped down the corners of her mouth. She has the consciousness to give her life for the mistakes she has made, and the little princess's plans must not be disillusioned because of herself.
A qiē was irretrievable, and with great loyalty to the kingdom of Steinbled, she reached for the dagger in her pocket.
