Volume 4 Dragon X War Chapter 20 The Battle in the Shadows
After Eugarie left, Miria and Blala hurriedly helped Aegean to her room. Fiona went to the backyard and asked her to help with Aegean's wounds.
Lu Qi simply chanted a spell, and Aiqin's injuries healed as before, and she fully recovered.
"That's amazing!" Aegean couldn't help but sigh, "Even the fatigue has dissipated together, what kind of spell is this?" ”
"Of course!" Midori triumphantly explained, "This is because I made a potion from a plant called the Sacred Requiem Grass that I just cultivated recently, and sprinkled it on the staff. Speaking of this herb, it's amazing. Although it is still only in the experimental stage, according to my observations, not only can it absorb the essence of the sun and moon all year round, Cui Jin itself grows at twice the rate of ordinary herbs, but even the dew produced on it can dissolve debris more than ordinary dew. But if you want to say that the most valuable, it is its fruit. Every ......"
At this time, Miria had already pulled Aegean and ran out of the gate quickly with Brala.
"Stop! Hear me out! I haven't settled accounts with you about stealing my stuff before! Luqi angrily shouted at Miria's back.
"Let's hurry up to the Guild Alliance to explain the situation, if we wait for her to finish introducing botany, it will probably be dark." Miria couldn't help but complain to Aegean.
So Miria, Brala, and Aegean rode their respective mounts to the Guild Alliance's building. As soon as I entered the hall of the Guild Alliance, I saw a man with an angry face walking across the street. Aegean was obviously taken aback when she saw this man, and immediately felt very embarrassed. This man was the man she had snatched the horse before.
The man immediately recognized Aegean, and he shouted for the guards around him, surrounding Miria and the others. In the interrogation room, Miria accompanied Aegean to explain the matter to the person in charge, and then paid a fine for Aegean and returned the horses, which was the only way to deal with the matter. Later, Miria and Aegean gave a detailed reflection of the current situation in the slum to the person in charge, but the person in charge reacted quite coldly.
"The issues involved there are very sensitive, and even from the perspective of the Guild Alliance, it is difficult to send people there to intervene in something. I can reflect this matter with the above first, but I don't think it will lead to anything. After listening to Aigean's introduction, the person in charge replied.
"How can this be? Why can't someone be sent to stop it? Now large-scale atrocities are taking place there! Aegean asked, puzzled.
"Well...... the staff said embarrassedly, "this question is more complicated, and there are many places involved...... I can't tell you too much for a while. To put it simply, it's basically an extralegal place, and it's not very governed by the Guild Alliance, so it's ...... It's hard for us to intervene in ......."
"How can this work?" Aegean shouted angrily.
"We don't want to dwell on complicated political issues." At this time, Miria, who was sitting on the side, said unhurriedly, "But there are people from the guild there who use the investigation commission you issued as an excuse to kill people and set fires everywhere, and this matter should be explicitly forbidden by the guild alliance, right?" If something big happens because of your commission, you're going to be fully responsible. I advise you to send someone to settle this matter as soon as possible, and it is better to withdraw the entrustment, and not to make the matter bigger and bigger. ”
Miria's momentum immediately calmed down the head of the Guild Alliance, and he said hesitantly, "That's true, but ...... Because the matter has not yet been investigated, we can't just send people to the slums with such fanfare, which will bring us ......."
"If you don't go now, and something goes wrong in the future, I'll go to the Alliance of Ailing to complain to you! It is said that you have wantonly issued commissions without review, allowing other guilds to burn and loot in the slums in the name of commissions, causing heavy losses to Staris. When the time comes, it will be up to the Ailing Alliance to arbitrate this matter! Miria said alarmistly.
"This ......," the person in charge obviously hesitated for a while, and then said gently, "This young lady, please dissipate your anger first." You see, that's not okay. We will now send with you to the slums and evacuate all the people who have broken into the guild there. Let them not set foot in there until they have investigated and have solid evidence. But we haven't responded immediately to the damage they've caused. We can only wait for a discussion to be made later. ”
"It's called a compromise, right? Do you take a step back in order to appease the parties? Well, with the current situation, it is possible to do this." Thinking of this, Miria said helplessly, "That's it." Can you start with us now? ”
"Yes, right away, please wait here for a while, and I'll report to the Steward. Right away! With that, the person in charge walked out of the room and towards the manager's office.
"I don't know how to thank you." Aegean said excitedly, wiping tears from her eyes.
"No, it's okay." Miria replied embarrassedly, "It's better to be tough on these idlers who just want to sit in the office all day long, drink tea and read the newspaper." ”
"......" Brala glanced at Miria sarcastically, but didn't say anything.
After a while, the person in charge returned to the room. Behind him was an exceptionally burly man with silver-gray armor and a broad-leaf long sword at his waist.
"The three of you have been waiting for a long time." The person in charge introduced Milia to "This is the squad leader of the third squad of our second squadron, Hu Xiangfeng. After that, he will lead their team with you to the slums to withdraw the guild people. All right. ”
"Please advise." Hu Xiangfeng stepped forward and greeted Miria.
"That's it." After that, under the leadership of Miria and Aegean, Hu Xiangfeng took his twenty soldiers and ran all the way towards the slums.
When Miria and the others arrived in the ghetto, they were just in time for the battle between Yujiali and Xiang Bing.
Xiang Bing gathered a large amount of frost energy, and was about to rush towards Yujiali, when Miria rushed behind Xiang Bing with a long-handled scythe and slashed with a swing of the knife.
Xiang Bing's entire attention was focused on Youjiali in front of him, and he never thought that someone would attack him from the side of the collapsed wall. By the time he felt the cold wind blow behind him, Miria's long-handled scythe was already behind his head. He hurriedly rolled over as he drew his sword to fend off Miria's attack.
A long wound cut his back, and Xiang Bing barely stood up. At this time, the soaring Blala had already appeared in front of him. The raised battle axe was mixed with a huge flame energy and slashed towards Xiang Bing. Xiang Bing hurriedly launched the long sword to parry, and with a loud bang, his whole person was knocked out, knocked over the round table behind him, and fell heavily to the ground, and when he staggered to his feet, several blood lines had hung out of the corners of his mouth.
"The Guild Alliance's latest directive calls for you to evacuate the slums immediately. As for the commission, we will wait until the Guild Alliance to discuss it. Hu Xiangfeng stepped forward and shouted to Xiang Bing in a loud voice.
"What?!" Xiang Bing said angrily, "What do you think ......" Halfway through his words, Xiang Bing suddenly remembered that the guild leader had repeatedly instructed them, "Don't conflict with the guild alliance yet." He looked at the situation in front of him again, "If I continue to fight here, will I be able to fight three enemies?" Even though they are all children, there are still some troubles. If you count the captain and Gu Cheng who went upstairs just now, it will be very disadvantageous for me."
Through the collapsed walls, Xiang Bing saw that the streets in the distance were still thick with smoke and flames. "It's almost burning, and it seems that the other guilds are going pretty well. All that's left is to recover what was stolen, but that has nothing to do with me. The work on my side was basically done without any problems. Other words...... There's no need to dwell on them anymore.'" Thinking of this, Xiang Bing put away his fighting posture, inserted his long sword back, and said with a relaxed look, "Okay, since it is a request of the Guild Alliance, then we will go back first." After all, as a well-known guild, we have always followed the rules of the guild alliance. With that, Xiang Bing beckoned his soldiers, followed Hu Xiangfeng, and walked in the direction of leaving.
After they were gone, Miria followed Eugari's advice and rushed to put out the fire with Blala and some militia from the slums, leaving Eugari alone to help the wounded with their wounds.
"Huh? How did you get here? Looking at Cornya who walked in, Yugari asked in surprise.
"Because they have basically woken up, although their bodies are still relatively weak, they can still take care of themselves. I just saw that a large number of soldiers had withdrawn, and I guess there was nothing to do, so I let them go back to rest first. Konya looked around and said, "How's it going here?" Are they really all gone? It's already over? ”
"Yes. It's finally over. Milia and the others went over there to put out the fire, so come with me to help when I'm done with this matter. ”
"Well, it's not interesting, but it's better than being bored. I thought it would take two or three days. Konya said with some disappointment.
"Damn! It's all burned. At this time, Gu Cheng finished extinguishing the fire upstairs and walked down with the guards.
"What's wrong? What happened? Yugari stood up with concern and asked.
"It's none of your business, don't ask us about it." Gu Cheng replied indifferently.
"What an attitude?" Konya said with a dissatisfied face, "If it weren't for us ......"
"Forget it." Yugari hurriedly reassured, "Everyone has things they don't want others to know. In that case, we still don't ask. ”
Although the bulk of the Black Wind mercenaries have withdrawn, there are still a few arson squads that have not received orders and are still roaming the streets. In order to capture them, the militia in the slums also went to great lengths. So much so that when the sun set on the western mountain, the fire was completely extinguished.
On the way back, Yujiali and the others also stopped by to visit Lei Luo and them. However, since they were all exhausted and in dire need of a good rest, Yujali and the others did not stop too long and returned to the service station. By the time they got home, made up dinner, and went to bed, it was the dead of night.
"Although there were some minor accidents, this operation barely achieved its goal." In the office of the Black Wind mercenaries, Zhou Xin said to Xiang Bing in front of him in a good mood.
"The untouchables' warehouses are about half burned, and without these supplies, it is estimated that there will be chaos soon. We'll see. Three of the materials of the five guilds were burned, including the materials of the most important White Dust and Muddy Guilds. The team led by Li Ash did not come back, I don't know if it was an accident or where it went, and it is being investigated. Another guild called the Poor God seems to have moved, and it is not in the original place, so it has not been found. If it weren't for those idiots, I would have been able to kill them all. Xiang Bing said with a little unwillingness.
"It's okay, but it's ......" "Forget it, it's not my team anyway, let's die." And I heard that it's just a novice guild that doesn't go into the stream, so it shouldn't be a threat." Zhou Xin thought about it.
"What? Any questions? ”
"No, I mean...... The guild of the poor gods, you can send someone to investigate it again to avoid accidents. ”
"That's fine. But I heard that the old man Bai ran away? Why, didn't you catch him? ”
"A cunning mouse. Before Zhao Shiwu arrived, he didn't know where to flee. However, it was obvious that he fled in a panic, and he didn't have time to pack his things. ”
"So you've got all the things you lost?"
"Mostly. Still a little missing. But it's only a matter of time. Now that the slums have lost power, there is basically no threat. ”
"What are you doing with Myron? If you want me to say that you can just get rid of him. After all, he also has an elite army in the ghetto. Keeping it is also a hidden danger. ”
"Brother Xian, take a long-term view. The so-called long line to catch big fish. It's still useful to keep it. He is a simple-minded, impulsive, and impulsive person who can't be more controllable. If it weren't for his help this time, would we have been able to recover it so easily? Now that Baihe hasn't caught it, he still knows a lot of information about the slums, and he will keep it for himself in the future. ”
"You have a point. However, I really didn't expect that the little ghost I took in before was quite useful, and he could collect so much information. ”
"Make good use of those who are useful, and it's not too late to get rid of them when they're useless. Isn't it? Zhou Xin said with an evil smile on his face.
"That's true. Well, I have something else to attend to, so I won't bother. ”
"Please." With that, Xiang Bing left Zhou Xin's room and walked towards his study.
"You too, Brother Xiang Bingxian, try to show as much as you can when you are still valuable, don't wait until there is no use value, and then regret it." Looking at the back of Xiang Bing's departure, Zhou Xin couldn't help but think.
Back in the study, a little boy in ragged clothes was waiting for Xiang Bing's arrival at his desk.
"How's it going, how's the investigation?" Xiang Bing sat on the chair behind the desk and asked, "The matter of the Journey Guild." ”
"Hmm!" The little boy said with a serious expression, "They are a guild that has just been established for a short time. Because of the completion of a large number of commissioned tasks in a short period of time, coupled with the achievement of completing high-level commissions, it is currently a two-star guild. The president of the guild is ......"
"These useless things can be found on the public information of any guild alliance, not to mention these worthless things." Xiang Bing said dissatisfied, "I'll ask you." Didn't you say you've been in contact with them for a while? Is there any special information, such as the profession, skills, characteristics, scope of activities of the guild members, the purpose of the guild, etc.? Anyway, you don't want the stuff that you can find by flipping through the information, you know? ”
"Yes! Sir! The boy replied loudly, "I've been to their base a few times recently, and it's a restaurant. Except for a few waiters from the Cat People, they were basically children a few years older than me. Specific occupations...... It's not quite clear. Guild Purpose...... I can't see anything at the moment, so please give me some time to investigate further. ”
"Then let's do it first, the more detailed the better. It's best to grab one and torture it a little. Of course, it must not be seen. See what I mean? ”
"This ......," the little boy hesitated with some fear.
"What? Is this scared? If you don't even dare to do this little thing, what big thing can you achieve in the future? Which hero is not a one-time success? Besides, these people don't look down on you at all, and they don't come to help you when your sister is caught. Do you still think they're friends? If it weren't for us, would your sister have come back alive? Xiang Bing said with a displeased face.
"Understood! I'm going to find a way to catch one and ask for some information! ”
"That's right. There is no need to show mercy to those who have nothing to do with you. Also, you have to continue to gather intelligence on the situation in the slums. The information provided last time was very useful, so just continue to collect it like this, and when the president comes back later, we will definitely give you a few kind words in front of him, and we will use it again in the future. ”
"Thank you, sir!" The little boy replied happily.
"I heard that the guild called the Poor God has moved, do you know?"
"Huh?" The little boy was surprised and said, "No, I don't know yet. ”
"Then why don't you investigate it quickly, it will cause us to run in vain!"
"Yes! I'm so sorry, sir! ”
"And that old man of Baihe, if you have the ability, collect his news and find out where he has gone."
"Understood! Sir! ”
"Don't you hate the ghetto so much? Then provide as much of what you can there, and when we've completely destroyed the ruins, you'll be liberated. You don't have to go back to live there, and you don't have to deal with the garbage there. ”
"Yes! Sir! I will try to do it, help the adults to rid of that filthy place, and save the children there just as the adults saved my sister! It's better to perish early in that disgusting place! The little boy said with a look of disgust.
"Well, looking forward to your performance. That's it for now. You're good to go. Xiang Bing waved his hand and motioned for the little boy to go out. After the little boy left, Xiang Bing lay tired on the chair and scolded viciously, "Damn little girl, sooner or later I will pick your skin!" To relieve the hatred in my heart! ”
