Chapter 668 Serving
The largest and warmest tent in the refugee area sits next to the command tent, a courtesy given to the prince by the Hunters' Guild. But as soon as the tent was built, the little prince let it out. The royal flag was removed from the tent, the guards were replaced, and now the children who had left the house in the chaos and the minor injuries that could not be placed in the medical camp were crowded there, and the Yoda siblings had to find a small tent farther away to accommodate them temporarily.
Although this is not the command room for the evacuation operation, the chairman will send someone to inform him of any important order. For a time, hunters came and went in the small camp, and there were many high-ranking people wearing deacon badges, and even many soldiers came.
"This is the information from Hawkeye, who was repatriated for the second time." The middle-aged hunter touched his chest with his hand and made a hunter's salute in a dignified manner, "The volcano has not yet calmed down, but the good news is that the rain has stopped a few hours ago. ”
Natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions are unpredictable, and an eruption of this magnitude could last for a day or even a few days, or even longer, if unfortunate, and have a considerable impact on the climate of the entire western border of Ryan Yelu.
Strictly speaking, the Onifury has been in a slow eruption period for a long time, which has allowed the snow line on the mountain to be replaced by a lava line. It is not uncommon for this demon to occasionally get angry, and as long as the precipitation does not continue, the area of influence of the demon spit will be limited to one city and one place, and will not cause direct damage to the residential areas further away.
"There are still some villages and towns around the border towns that are threatened by mudslides, and the president has entrusted the working hunters to direct the civilians to retreat eastward by land in the villages and towns - so many airships have been dispatched at once, and our fuel reserves have begun to warn, and the rest will have to cope with the exploration and patrol of the Vault for the next few days......"
"I see, just do what the elders want." Yoda nodded, stopping the middle-aged deacon from continuing to explain. After seeing his brother again, Xiao You Ke didn't want to leave for a moment, and the little girl pulled His Royal Highness's shirt tightly, for fear that he would once again take an airship alone to break into the source of the disaster, "I am a junior, and in such a large commission, the president's experience is much richer than mine." As long as the army's airships can be used in the right places, and the civilians in the disaster area can escape safely, the royal family will continue to support his command. ”
The moment the deacon watched the routine report emerge from the tent door, Yoda's shoulders immediately collapsed. The little prince only felt that his head was weighing, but he still sighed, turned back to the hunters gathered around the table behind him, and said, "Everyone has been waiting for ...... for a long time."
"Ryan Yelu's internal affairs, is it really okay if we don't avoid it?" Xiao Yang threw the information in his hand to the table.
"As long as it's the business of the Hunters' Union, there's no distinction between borders." The person being questioned replied.
"I still don't understand the logic of your country, how do you decide when to show which one of them is the guy who wears two badges at the same time?" The two knives shook their heads
"Every country has a thing called 'law'......" Jia Xiao glared at his companion and stopped Xiao Yang from continuing to delve deeper, "This is not something we need to care about. ”
There were only two burning stone lamps in the room, barely enough to illuminate the densely marked map in the innermost part of the tent. Backed by the volcano of Onifuma, the border town was supposed to be a large producer of charcoal, but now the union had to sell a batch of fuel on credit from the town's workshops to make the tens of thousands of homeless civilians in the wilderness barely survive the night. The refugees from the border town are like locust plagues, sucking all kinds of supplies in Kaishi Town, and the hunters can also save money.
Xiong Fuji fiddled with the lampstand anxiously, no matter how he dialed it, the pitiful stone inside would not shine brighter. The spearman simply lifted the lampstand and knocked it on the table, and the charcoal shook on the lampstand a few times, bursting out clusters of sparks.
"Hey, be careful of splashing sparks on paper!" The cat reached out to protect the information on the table, and waited until the fire was gone, then spread it out again, and put it under the lamp to study carefully.
"So tell us, what does all this information mean by showing us?" Regiment Leader Qin lined up the information on the table. The records on the paper are all the live events of the beast tide that happened in Ryan Yelu in the past month, and the font comes from the same person, probably written by Yoda himself, "From the periphery of the Emerald Tower to the east of Burning Rock Town, this is the migration route of the Qilin, right?" ”
"The earlier records of the Qilin have all been sealed in the Wang Li Library, and these in your hands are the only information I have about the ancient dragon species." Yoda said as she poked her head out of the tent and looked left and right at the pedestrians outside. His Royal Highness waved off the guards at the door, ordered the people around him not to approach, locked the buckle of the tent door, and turned around with an extremely serious expression, "Whether it is regarded as compensation or the fulfillment of the obligations of the union, these materials will be officially opened to you from now on." If you need to, you can always send a letter back to Golden Feather Castle or Loclak, and that's the limit of what I can do. ”
"Seriously, we met a group of poachers on the volcano, and they have more detailed information than that." Xiong Fuji used his fingers to pop the paper out with a "click" sound. The Cataclysmic Predator was so intelligent that the little prince followed its ass for a whole month, but he didn't even see the true face of the Thunder Beast. From this point of view, Yoda is already far behind the Shadow Hunter to which Reverse Scale belongs.
"That's not what you called us here for, did you?" Feng Manyun said with his hands on his chest.
"Those two guys survived the volcano." Yoda leaned her head over to the group and said in a low voice, "They're coming down." The little prince picked up the pen on the table, walked to the edge of the hanging map in three or two steps, and pointed somewhere in the drawing, "Less than half an hour away from the mudslide burying the border town, a beast tide was observed at the foot of the mountain, and the migration direction was roughly eastward, medium scale, fortunately, the areas passed through were uninhabited, and they had dispersed before dark." ”
"Maybe the lord level under the mountain sensed the danger of the mudslide and ran away." Shentu Miaoling interjected, "Seeing the sound of the mudslide, any kind of beast will be afraid." ”
"Two hours later, the second wave of monster migration took place here, in the same direction, on a slightly smaller scale." Yoda moved the tip of his pen over the paper for a long distance, finally stopping near a wilderness south of the royal city.
"That's a hundred kilometers away! Are you sure there is a connection between these two animal tides? Xiao Yang looked at it and said suspiciously.
"I don't know if the 'thunder light' that appeared on the two reports counted." Yoda clenched his pen and said worriedly, "The one at the foot of the volcano, Hawkeye can only observe from a distance in the air, and there may be a mistake. However, the Wang Li Hunting Group that stayed in the royal city was dealing with the current beast tide, and more than one person had seen the golden thunder light on the reports that had been sent back. ”
"The Golden Lion?" Everyone in the small hunting group blurted out in unison.
"It's not so easy for dragons to attract a monster tide of this size, let alone two. There is only one explanation, and that is that the unicorn is walking with it. ”
"These two guys!" Xiong Fuji hammered the table, the burning stone lamp on the table shook, and the flames shook for a while, "I have destroyed a great city until now, do you want to continue fighting?" ”
"Be quiet!" The Yoda siblings invariably put their hands to their lips and made a silent gesture. The little prince coughed dryly: "The first time I received the information, the president pressed it in his hand." So far, only you and a subset of the deacon-level union members have had the opportunity to hear this news. I also beg you, don't leak it to the common people, who have suffered enough today. ”
"Of course." The little head nodded in response. Qin Shuiyu stared at Yoda's mark on the map, two stubby lines marking the starting location and direction of the beast tide. The Huntress connected the two segments and ran straight to the east, finally resting on a block dyed emerald green.
"The Emerald Tower, I think that's where they're going." Yoda slammed the tip of his pen into a large circle across the green hunting grounds, "If it doesn't change course, of course." ”
"There will be many natural disasters along the way...... Xiao Qing'er muttered quietly, the lines on the map are thick and straight, and they cut across several human settlements, like a blade that slashes through the already internally injured Ryan Yelu.
There are not many things in this world that can stop the ancient dragon species, and if an uncontrolled force is allowed to roam freely between the heavens and the earth, it will always be humans and other weak creatures who will suffer in the end.
"The last time the unicorn migrated, it spent more than half a month in the country before finally reaching the volcano. With the current strength of the Golden Lion's feet, even if he has foraged for food, rest, and healing in advance, he will rush back to the Emerald Tower within three days at the latest. Yoda let out a long sigh, "Whatever it takes these two guys to make the long journey to the volcano, now it's going home." ”
"I've sent urgent information to the territories that the dragon family may pass through, and I hope that the hunters stationed in various places can respond as soon as possible. If you can make way for the monsters in advance, the situation won't be too serious. ”
"So, what are you worried about?" The little head asked softly. Although the content of the words was still optimistic, Yoda's insincere expression betrayed him for the first time.
After a long silence, the little prince finally spoke: "It's the poachers......"
"For this retreat, we have requisitioned most of the airships around the border town, both for war and patrol. Now within 100 kilometers or even 200 kilometers of the border town, almost all the hunting equipment that can go to the sky is docked near the armored stone city, you should know what that means, right? ”
With a meager investment of troops, Ryan Yelu was able to maintain a fragile balance with the poachers on the other side of the volcano, relying on absolute superiority in the air domain. Now, no matter what the reason, the kingdom took the initiative to give away the largest capital that Liao was proud of, and in the eyes of that group of pervasive poachers, it was no different from opening the door to welcome guests.
"So what? It's just a civilian, and the airship won't be broken. Now that the townsfolk have settled down, why don't we send the remaining warships back to their respective posts? Xiong Fuji scratched the back of his head, and he didn't know where the solemnity in the tent came from right now.
"With your brain, you can only use it as bait for monsters!" Xiao Yang knocked loudly on the helmet of the strong hunter, "The airship is to drink fuel, when you return home, do you want to let them float back with the wind?" ”
The average cargo ship has enough fuel to afford a long-distance journey of one day and one night, but that is based on the premise of two points and one line without turning. Patrol vessels need to circle over an area repeatedly, and they also need to consider the issue of returning to the sea for resupply. The radiation range of the supply function of Armor Stone Town is obviously not as far as the foot of the volcano, and the city that can serve as a supply point is currently being soaked in muddy water at a height of half a meter.
"Poachers now have the ability to drop manpower anywhere on the western side of the border overnight, if they want to." Yoda's brow furrowed. While the evacuation commission was in full swing, no one would find anything wrong with such a move, after all, every additional airship was called up meant saving the lives of hundreds of civilians.
"That's it, I knew when I stepped into this little tent that you still had something to ask us for." Nie Xiaoyang crossed his hands with a really like this expression, "Say, how else can we serve you?" ”
