Chapter 272: Shaman, Interception, War!
Ram, the deputy captain of the patrol force, who was still a little frozen, had a face full of excitement that could not be concealed, and turned around with a respectful attitude to lead the "great god" of Lola towards the stretcher carried by the patrol soldiers over there.
This is a fourth-level pharmacist, a real "great god"-level person! Captain Ruud must be saved! It's no wonder Ram is so excited.
The old man Lola, who was also a treacherous and cunning man, refused to let go of Han Feng, who was gloating on the side, and dragged him over together.
Pulling on Lola, Han Feng passed with him after half pushing and half getting down. In fact, Han Feng was also curious about the mutation of the Dark Forest that Ram was talking about, especially at this time, he had already faintly sensed an inexplicable sense of danger in his soul that was slowly approaching......
Several patrol soldiers carefully placed the three stretchers side by side on the ground at Ram's motion, and Lola and Han Feng squatted next to the three stretchers together, and began to carefully examine the situation of the three people who were obviously in a coma.
Ram looked at the three unconscious companions on the stretcher again with some concern, but before he forgot his duty, he turned to the crowd around him and said loudly:
"Did you all hear the order I just announced? The town of Lancer has now entered a state of first-class wartime alert, and according to the wartime regulations of the Rand Kingdom, mercenaries and hunters must go back and be ready to be called up at any time, waiting for the call from your guild. Everyone else went home and stayed and didn't go out until the state of alert was lifted. If there is any other news, the sheriffs of the districts will inform you in time, so go back and prepare. ”
Ram's words immediately caused a commotion in the crowd around him, but in a loud uproar, the crowd began to slowly disperse.
The mercenaries were slow to act in the midst of loud curses and complaints, and soon disappeared into the crowd; The hunters gathered in twos and threes, and went away in groups with a worried look on their faces; Most of the experienced businessmen who traveled from south to north looked a little dignified; The ordinary townspeople were more curious and puzzled - the first level of wartime alert? This town of Lancer has never experienced real war......
Silently examining the three wounded on the stretcher, ignoring Ram, who had come close to him and was looking anxious and worried, Lola tilted her head to look at Han Feng, who was also checking beside her, and asked, "What does Young Master Rogge think?" ”
Pouting, Han Feng knew that the curious old man next to him wanted to explore his old bottom when he had the opportunity. Raising his eyelids and slanting at Ram who was staring at him with suspicion on the other side, Han Feng said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "What? Do you want to take the school-based young master exam again? Are you annoyed, old man? That potion contest just now wasn't enough for you to see? ”
Before Laura could speak, Ram next to him was annoyed - how did this fat young master speak? Even the eldest young master of the Lance family couldn't be so rude to a noble fourth-level pharmacist!
Ram, the upright deputy captain of the patrol force, was about to open his mouth to scold Han Feng with an angry face, but when he saw Laura waving his hand at him, a smile appeared on his old face, and he said:
"Young Master Rogge made a brilliant move in the potion competition just now, and actually imitated the potion blending of Sri Shi, but he was able to concoct a third-level antidote, which really opened the eyes of an old man like me! This waste young master of the Lance family is too unworthy of his name. Presumably, Young Master Rogge still has more tricks hidden, and the old man still has to ask Young Master Rogge for advice if he has a chance. ”
Rogge? Tertiary Elixir? Young Master Waste? …… Ask? …… Laura's words stunned Ram next to him, and these words with amazing meanings were spinning in his head, and he couldn't react for a while.
Ask? Do you want to find out the bottom of Uncle Ben? This cunning old fox just hates it! - Han Feng's fat face also squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." You're a fourth-level pharmacist, and I'm just going to ask you for more guidance on potions in the future. ”
The two foxes, the old man and the fat one, glanced at each other, and although there were sparks flying at the junction of their eyes, there was a smile on each other's faces that seemed to be sincere...... There is a bit of profound hypocrisy in that kind of politeness, and even Ram next to him can clearly feel it.
He couldn't help but shiver, and Ram, who came to his senses, was still worried about the injuries of the three people on the stretcher. Putting aside the somewhat chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ram bowed down to Laura and asked respectfully, "Lord Laura, I don't know what happened to Captain Rude and the two brothers?" ”
Glancing at Han Feng and seeing that his fat face showed a look that it was clear that it was none of his business, Laura had to smile bitterly and said, "Don't worry, although these three people are seriously injured, they won't kill them in a short time." As long as they get a few bottles of second-level healing potions for them to take in a while, those wounds will heal in a day or two. But ......"
Speaking of this, Laura's face began to become a little solemn, he looked at Ram, and said in a deep voice:
"I've detected a latent energy in the bodies of all three of your companions, which is clearly a dark attribute. Their unconsciousness should have something to do with this dark attribute energy. If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the effect of a dark sacrifice ritual in the Dark Empire. Have you patrolled the shamans of the Dark Empire? ”
For Laura's words, Han Feng next to him did not show the slightest surprise, with his keen mental sense and clever human body exploration methods, he naturally saw the problems in the bodies of the three wounded people very easily.
But Ram was completely gloomy by Laura's words. He first looked up and saw that by this time, most of the crowd in the field had dispersed, and the remaining small part was quite far away, and the magic amplification equipment had been moved back to the shop by the servants of the Gauss family.
Glancing at Han Feng next to him again, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then Ram lowered his voice and said to Lola: "Lord Laura, can you confirm that the hidden energy in the captain's body is of the dark attribute?" ”
Seeing Ram's cautious and cautious look, Lola couldn't help but glance at Han Feng, and then nodded affirmatively at Ram.
Ram took another step closer and said in a deep voice:
"Since three days ago, none of the nine mercenary squads that went out on a mission in Lancer Town have returned. This anomaly was reported to our patrol team yesterday by the head of the Mercenary Guild. Captain Ruud immediately arranged for the reconnaissance team of our patrol brigade to go to the dark forest to investigate. As a result, none of the eleven soldiers in the reconnaissance team sent out have returned......"
Speaking of this, Ram paused slightly, his face became more and more solemn, and his voice became more and more muffled:
"This morning, Captain Ruud personally led three squads of soldiers into the Dark Forest to search and investigate, while I led a small team of soldiers to guard and respond outside the Dark Forest. Results ......"
Ram subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the group of dozen or so patrol soldiers standing in front of him with blood stains and scars on their bodies, and they all looked a little wolf, and then turned to Lola and continued:
"Just over an hour ago, when the soldiers of the third squad and I found Captain Rude, he was running away with the other two soldiers on the stretcher, and behind them were several third- and fourth-level demonic beasts...... The appearance of these demonic beasts is very strange, it seems to be extremely crazy and bloodthirsty, if it weren't for the desperate interception and extermination of the captain and me, I'm afraid that most of the brothers in this third squad would have been killed......
After we had completely killed those crazy monsters, we retreated to the town of Lancer. At that time, the captain and the two soldiers who escaped were injured, but they did not fall into a coma, but their thoughts were very confused at that time, and it seemed that something was wrong with their brains. Not long after leaving the Dark Forest, the captain and the two soldiers fell into a coma. The captain was also a little delirious before he fell unconscious, and he didn't seem to be able to hear us at all, but he kept muttering two sentences until he was completely unconscious......"
Ram's words made Laura and Han Feng secretly frightened.
Obviously, the anomalies that appeared in this dark forest were very strict. The captain of the patrol army with three squads of patrol soldiers, its strength will not be much worse than that of the ordinary mercenary team, even if it encounters one or two sixth- or seventh-level high-level demonic beasts in the depths of this dark forest, it should be possible to escape safely, how can it be chased and killed by a group of demonic beasts that are only three or four levels?
Most likely, this group leader Ruud and his three squads of patrol soldiers have encountered stronger and more formidable enemies in the Dark Forest. And after the captain Rude was killed by a strong enemy in his troops and suffered heavy losses himself, he had to break through with the two surviving soldiers, and was then chased and killed by that group of third- and fourth-level demonic beasts......
Lola, who was the most curious, couldn't wait to ask, "What did your captain say in the end?" ”
Ram lowered his head and looked at the three people lying on the stretcher on the ground, his eyes began to redden, and his voice was a little sad: "At that time, the captain also seemed to be a little confused, and his words were slurred, and all I could hear clearly was a few words-shaman...... Interception ...... War! ”xh118
