Chapter 45: Leng Che

Tianwen's team moved to a makeshift camp on the banks of the Nile with the help of Floo Powder, where more than 100 wizards and nearly 1,000 mercenaries had gathered as a starting point for their journey to Cairo.

Due to the weak attributes of Flora and the others, in order to prevent them from being bombarded into slag in the previous earth-shattering battle, Xiao Yan arranged them in the peripheral battlefield to find various side quests to increase their income, so they arrived here in advance.

"Lord Brandon." Flora, who had been waiting for a long time, said: "Soon after we arrived, we were caught up in a skirmish and rescued a strange Zhongtang man. I can sense something unusual and special about him, but he doesn't seem willing to talk to a few of us, do you want to meet him?"

Xiao Yan nodded, and while thinking about whether to let the more attractive Sonia and a few girls come over to try, he followed the girl to a ruin, and found that there was a young man from the Tang Dynasty who was not tall but very capable.

His face was blackened with gunsmoke and bandages, but his eyes were sparkling, and he was methodically packing his weapons as he bit his dry lips.

His fingers were thick and strong, thick with calluses, but they danced rhythmically like a pianist's hands as he cleaned his weaponry.

"You've come into contact with important plot characters. Race: Human. Attributes: You don't have enough permissions to view them.

Special Skill 1: You don't have enough permissions to check it.

Special Skill 2: You don't have enough permissions to check it.

Special Skill 3: You don't have enough permissions to check it. ”

What is the situation? In general, if the stat is too high, the contractor will see a series of question marks.

But this dude directly shows "You don't have enough permission to check it".

Xiao Yan curiously took out a kettle and handed it over, it's not a bad thing to try it. Leng Che's mood didn't seem to be too high, and he was a little injured, and a little beauty like Flora just talked to him without paying attention.

Leng Che didn't look up at Xiao Yan, took the kettle and took a big sip.

Xiao Yan took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to him, and casually asked in Mandarin: "Are you Chinese?" ”

Two simple words seem to have an irresistible magic. Leng Che, who was wiping the gun, raised his head, a trace of joy and excitement appeared in his eyes full of anger and determination, took the chocolate and took a big bite, "Yes." ”

"How's the situation in the city?" Xiao Yan asked.

"The situation in the city is getting more and more chaotic, and our businesses are evacuating." Leng Che ate the chocolate in two bites, and unceremoniously took another canned beef: "Thank you so much." Not...... I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for two days and two nights. ”

Xiao Yan hurriedly quietly called Galadia in the team channel, and he already roughly knew what kind of rhythm this was.

The girl brought a can of hot broth and two scones, and after being more than ten meters away, she smelled the fragrant broth and drooled, and she didn't have time to thank her, and it was a crazy meal when she grabbed it.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Leng Che almost choked to death as he wished, hurriedly poured two mouthfuls of hot soup, and was scalded so much that he almost squirted out.

"Slow down, slow down." Xiao Yan and Galadia were taken aback by him, and thought that this plot character would kill himself like this.

"I'm ashamed." Leng Che also knew that he had lost his face, "I used to be a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, doing some business in Cairo, and escaped with a group of compatriots after the riots broke out. But there are still many of our compatriots in the city who are trapped in the war zone. I can't leave them alone! ”

"Don't worry, we'll go with you later!" Galadia patted him on the shoulder.

"No, it's too dangerous." Leng Che shook his head desperately, "It's too dangerous for a beautiful girl like you there." I can't protect you. ”

Before Leng Che could finish speaking, Galadia bent her bow and shot through the spire of a temple in the distance.

"Ahh

"Little comrade~" Galadia turned her head and looked down condescendingly at the former Zhongtang soldier with a bewildered face, "You don't know anything about power. ”

"Side Quest: Flee the Fighting.

Mission: A large contingent of refugees is trying to leave the hellish capital of Upper Egypt, and ensure that no less than 30% of the refugees arrive safely. The more refugees survive safely, the higher the evaluation of the mission. The nationality of the refugee will be the same as that of the team leader of the team of contractors who borrowed the assignment.

Mission Evaluation: This quest is not contradictory to the Gold side quest, and the rewards are generous.

Please confirm acceptance: Yes/No. ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but squint his eyes after taking the task, and looked at Lily/Sonya with a smile. Sonia stuck out her tongue: "There are Royal Navy patrol fleets near Cairo and Djibouti that can provide support, maybe you can seek support from the Royal Navy." But I don't know if I'll be able to lead a team now. ”

"Isn't our goal to capture the Holy Grail?" Luo Ze asked puzzledly, "This escort mission may not end for a while." ”

"It's okay." Xiao Yan looked at everyone with a smile on his face, "I will definitely take this side quest, this is not an obstacle to the completion of our golden side quest, but a great help." God help me! ”

Following Leng Che, Tianwen's team quickly crossed the Nile River and headed towards Cairo City.

This beautiful and spectacular city has been shrouded in smoke and fire, and convoys have fled in all directions with countless refugees.

"Here, it is our convoy of the Tang people," Leng Che pointed to the Dongcheng District of Cairo on the map, "There are a total of 50,000 people, some of whom have evacuated in advance, and the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 people have retreated eastward under the organization of the embassy." ”

"So many people?" Galadia was taken aback, "How can so many people be evacuated?" ”

"There are only so many people who are worthy of the white-robed mage." The Imperial Master touched his chin, turned his head and whispered to Xiao Yan and Sonya: "There are so many refugees in Zhongtang alone, and the total number of expatriates from other countries combined will be very considerable, and with their souls and blood, they can even refine a holy weapon like a magic stone. I really don't know what kind of power the Holy Grail powered by the Philosopher's Stone will have once he gets his hands on it. ”

Xiao Yan turned around and asked Leng Che in the back seat: "With such a large amount, it will take a long time to break away from Cairo." Has the embassy contacted local security or domestic support? ”

Leng Che gritted his teeth: "There are a small number of armed police in the embassy, and there are militia organizations in various enterprises, as long as there are weapons, we can delay for a certain time." ”

In the distance, a long convoy appeared, blocking the road tightly. Refugees from Egypt and other countries are congested.

Xiao Yan nodded, "Understood, Leng Che, you hurry up and take us to the embassy, we need to secure a passage first, and it is self-defeating to cross the Nile River under the current circumstances." We have to go south. ”

"To the south?" Everyone was amazed, "there is only desert in the desolation".

"To Djibouti." Xiao Yan added slowly.

"Interesting idea." The Emperor laughed, "Tell me why?" ”

"There is a Sino-Tang base in Africa, from where transport planes take off to drop supplies to us. And not far from the high seas there is our Gulf of Aden patrol fleet. After learning about the riots in Cairo, they will definitely come as soon as possible. Xiao Yan pointed to the shore of the Red Sea, "Although this area is desolate, there are wide coastal roads that are easy to move. The open terrain is also conducive to airdrops and landings. What's more, it's far away from refugees from other countries, and if anyone wants to ambush us, we can find out at the first time. ”

"Jump out of the predicament and find another way." The Emperor clapped his hands and praised, "Not bad, not bad." However, it is imperative to get in touch with the embassy and turn the evacuation route south as soon as possible. ”

Leng Che listened and immediately said: "I know where there is a special line to find the embassy, go now." ”

"I'm afraid we're not the only contractors here," Galadia mused, "be ready for battle." ”
