Chapter 395: Rescue

Andrea took Anton and Zoya into the air, flapping their dragon wings and flying out of the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Roland watched Andrea's figure disappear into the sky, and stood there in distraction for a long time, until a call came from behind him, interrupting the confusion in his thoughts.

"Mr. Roland...... Mr. Roland? Excuse me, can I bother you for a moment? Varyag asked, rubbing his hands.

"It's okay, just say it." Roland looked back at the Scarface Ranger and noticed something strange about him.

"We have just received news that Lady Natasha has checked the situation in the whole city with 'Detective Technique', and found that the area inhabited by coal and iron workers is the most severely affected, the goblin wolf cavalry and orc bandits have just ransacked that block, and now there is a large group of ogres going there, and the local residents are in crisis, so Lady Natasha has issued a call to the three major shelters, asking us to send some people to the industrial area to support and escort the local residents to take refuge on the premise that we have spare strength to protect ourselves."

Roland nodded quietly, and then asked him: "I understand the situation, what are you going to do now?" ”

Varyag exchanged glances with his partner, Reverend Lars, and said with some embarrassment: "You also know the situation in the Grand Arena, although it has improved a little at present, it is far from safe, and this is the farthest of the three shelters from the industrial area, even if it takes at least an hour to walk there, now the road traffic is all paralyzed, if you go to the rescue, the time spent on the way will be at least doubled, in case of a war bandit attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save yourself." ”

Pastor Lars continued: "Personally, I think we should go to the rescue, every Kord believer has the right to live, we must not give up anyone, whether the other party is a civilian miner or a wealthy mine owner, the question now is how many people to send to the rescue, which can have a support effect, and not affect the defense of our Great Arena, I have a difference of opinion with Varyag on this issue, so I would like to ask Mr. Roland to make a final decision." ”

Roland sighed to himself, thinking that this was probably the difference between a realist and an idealist.

He heard that Varyag did not want to send people to support the industrial zone, but because of Pastor Lars's insistence, he threw the "hot potato" to him, the nominal supreme decision-maker, hoping that he would come forward to refuse Pastor Lars to do such offending work.

There's an old saying? Where there are people, there is politics. Varyag's inclination was indeed a bit selfish, but in such a situation of chaos and precariousness in the city, it was understandable that he should first consider the safety of the Grand Arena, after all, it was objectively difficult to set out from here to support the industrial zone, almost along a diagonal line across the city.

However, Roland was more supportive of Pastor Lars' position.

"Mr. Varyag, Mr. Lars, I think that the more times of crisis the more we show the value of unity, and if we refuse to support the industrial zone, who will come to our aid if we refuse to support the industrial zone, and the arena will be fiercely attacked in the future?"

"You're right, Mr. Roland, it's our duty to do it!" Pastor Lars' face flushed with excitement, "If you don't object, I'm willing to lead the team to support!" ”

Varyag pursed his lips and muttered a little depressedly: "I'm not against support, but how many people are appropriate?" Less is not useful, and more we are under a lot of pressure here! ”

Roland thought for a moment and asked Varyag: "I remember that the internal facilities of the Grand Arena include a stable?" ”

"There are indeed stables, and the arena sometimes holds equestrian shows, all of which use our own horses as mounts, and although there are only about a hundred or so horses, they are all one out of ten horses." Varyag said with certainty.

"You now send someone to the stable, select a hundred good horses, and equip them with harnesses, and then select a hundred elites who are proficient in riding from among the veterans and gladiators, and each of them will be assigned a war horse, and I will personally lead the team to support the industrial zone later."

Riding on horseback can easily traverse complex terrain, shorten the time spent on the road, and in case of enemy interception, it is easy to break through the encirclement with superb mobility, Roland was a cavalry lieutenant when he was in the Kolas Corps, and equestrianism is his own skill, and he certainly knows the tactical advantages of cavalry.

"You're going to lead the team yourself?" Varyag was taken aback, "This is not appropriate, in case you have any accidents, I can't explain it to the lord!" ”

Roland shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Varyag, I am a soldier, how can I refuse to go to the battlefield because of danger?" In the present situation, no one is better suited to command this improvised squadron of cavalry than I am. ”

Seeing that he was so persistent, Varyag was strongly shocked in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "I'll go with you!" ”

Roland waved his hand, "You and Pastor Lars don't go, there are tens of thousands of refugees gathered in the Great Arena, and there may be problems without effective management, so let's decide, don't waste time on meaningless disputes." ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Varyag and Lars could no longer persuade him, so they hurried back to prepare their horses and select the elite. Both of them were very capable of handling things, and in less than ten minutes, they had all the horses and men that Roland needed, and gathered outside the gate of the Grand Arena to wait for his review.

Roland himself did not need a war horse, so he summoned the Purgatory Pony and rode up to the gate, where a hundred knights were waiting for him, with all his armor and weapons ready. Roland glanced over and recognized many familiar faces, including the three Klitschko brothers, who were trade union cadres and had no obligation to make the trip. The two Bear Warrior Monks, Gru and Bada, were also there, and what surprised Roland the most was the only one present who was not riding.

"Nini Lamia, are you going too?"

The human lion girl raised her head in the face of his gaze, and her pretty face was full of confidence: "Why not?" I don't ride a horse, but I have four legs, and horses can't run as fast as I am! ”

Her words provoked a good-natured laugh, and Roland couldn't help but laugh. Nini Lamia didn't really brag, after all, she was half lion, and she was indeed faster than a war horse.

"Everyone is a seasoned veteran, you don't need me to point fingers, in short, keep in mind that our purpose is to support, if you encounter enemy interception on the way, follow me and don't look back, understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Roland nodded in satisfaction, flicking the reins and urging the Infernal Pony to rush out. Behind him, a hundred knights also galloped on horseback, following him to his left and right, converging into a galloping torrent and sweeping away in the direction where the industrial area was located.
