Chapter 82: Despair
"Huh? Appeared, what just happened? ”
This is the first time Yang Hao has heard the news of Baron Montenade, he is a key figure in this war, and Yang Hao can't help but care.
"Hey~ Miss Isabella has broken with Baron Montenade. A heated argument broke out between them, and Miss Isabella announced that she would take Whitestone as a novice, the territory that was supposed to belong to her.
Baron Montenard tried to stop her, but was unsuccessful, and she ran away right under her nose. ”
Isabella has a decent reputation among the townspeople of Whitestone, and Andrew is both sad and angry at her actions, as well as worried about the strength of the enemies she is about to face.
"Sure enough, she made the ghost, no matter what reason she has, she must pay the price for hurting the people I cherish!"
Yang Hao clenched his fists and swore an oath.
"Captain Andrew, are the townsfolk seriously injured? Where's Irene? ”
Gale squeezed up and asked, the walls of White Rock Town were built when the town was first built, so a small number of townspeople lived outside the walls.
They were generally poor townspeople, and Erin and her grandfather were among them.
Since Yang Hao's home has been attacked, the probability of a monster attacking outside the city wall is very high.
Andrew's face darkened, and he stopped talking: "We did our best." I don't know who Erin is, maybe you can look for it in the shelter over there. ”
Gale felt a strong sense of unease in his heart, and he said to himself, "Erin, you must not be fine! ”
The shelter that Andrew refers to is actually a temporary settlement.
In the slums east of the town, many of the players' broken houses were requisitioned.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sewage on the ground was accumulating, and the roads in the slums were muddy.
Gale recklessly searched among the many dilapidated houses in the slums, looking for Erin's figure.
Yang Hao followed him to search, and he met Uncle Abby, who had introduced him to a job.
Yang Hao asked him about Erin's news, and was very lucky to learn that Erin was in a big wooden house not far away, and she was still alive and well.
The two immediately rushed to the big house that Uncle Abby pointed out and found Erin.
She crouched alone in a small corner, her lips pursed tightly and her eyes staring at the ground.
She was in a bad state, her hair was messy, and there were three blood marks on her white and tender arms.
In particular, in her right hand, she holds a worn-out axe.
The axe was stained with dried blood, and it was a little too large for Erin, but she still held it stubbornly.
The moment she didn't see Erin's grandfather by her side, Yang Hao and Dafeng already understood.
Gale stepped forward and tried to hug Erin, but stopped with some guilt and said, "Erin." ”
Erin looked up and saw the gale, and immediately with tears in her eyes, she said with a crying voice: "Big brother." ”
Gale struggled to hold back the tears in his eyes, and his heart was even more ashamed, and he said with difficulty:
"I'm sorry, Irene, big brother is late, I'm sorry!"
As he spoke, he stomped on the ground three times to vent the depression and guilt in his heart.
Erin looked at Dafeng blankly for a while, and suddenly smiled and said to Dafeng: "Big brother, Erin doesn't blame you, you are the best." ”
"Woo~" Gale lost control of his emotions in an instant, and he hugged Erin and cried bitterly.
Erin was a little frightened at first, but then immediately returned to normal, gently patting Gale on the head.
"Gale, let's go, we still have to do what we need to do."
Yang Hao said expressionlessly, those who are familiar with him know that Yang Hao is really angry.
Gale wiped his tears with the back of his hand, his eyes were resolute, and he left with Yang Hao.
Little Ruby was left here by Yang Hao to be with Erin, and at first Little Ruby was expressionless and ignored Erin.
But as Erin grabbed little Ruby's cold hand and looked at her sincerely, little Ruby accepted her.
Although little Ruby was still expressionless, the two snuggled up to each other, looking at the backs of Yang Hao and Dafeng as they were gone.
…
The two returned to the place where the players gathered, and the Wolf Warrior members who had been killed earlier had been resurrected, and they had now made peace with everyone.
The relatives of all the members of the group are also here, and they are most related to Arya and little Ruby.
After learning the truth from Xiaoxue's mouth, their mood was very low.
At that time, they knew that there was no hope of victory, so their efforts were to save the mother and daughter, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and Arya died.
An aura of despair began to spread, and everyone lost their will to fight.
The players are still arguing with Andrew and the squad he leads, and if the enemy hadn't attacked yet, I'm afraid the players would have done it a long time ago.
"Roar, be quiet!"
Volibel's roar combined with Yang Hao's loud voice erupted into a loud bang that overwhelmed everyone.
The players all looked at Yang Hao standing on the barrel, and the scene was quiet.
The little majestic momentum accumulated by the huge and mighty Voliber and Yang Hao as the leaders of the mercenary group made no one among the players immediately come out and taunt.
"Why did you give up White Stone?" Yang Hao asked.
Immediately, a male voice came from the crowd:
"The nobles who are in charge of the house have all run away, why should we stay and die!"
"That's it, if you die twice, you will have to deduct the attributes!" Someone should make peace.
Players have almost always been tasked with rescuing the village before.
As a result, everyone knows that except for Yang Hao's side, the other villages have not been successfully saved, and the players do not know much about the intelligence of the Peeling Sect, and they have suffered a great loss.
Of course, it is impossible to be wiped out, except for the players who went to rescue Farya, who were more unlucky, about 1/3 of the players fled back to the town.
So these players who have died in battle only have two lives in this plot.
"Leave that alone. Dog. Mother. Raise. of the nobility, we are not fighting for them!
Isn't there anyone in this town that you hold dear!
Are they emotionless data! ”
Yang Hao asked hoarsely.
"Where's Irene?" Perfume Girl suddenly asked everyone.
"Where's Grandma Julie? Did anyone see it? ”
"Where did the old man die?"
….
Players are not cold-blooded creatures, and after living in Whitestone for a month or so, almost everyone has made friends or received favors from NPCs who are nothing less than friends and family of the player.
I didn't think it was just because the situation changed so quickly that players couldn't react.
At the same time, the frustration of mission failure and the impact of sewage blinded the players' minds and made them forget important people.
All they need is a small reminder.
With so many players, there's always someone who knows about the NPC you're asking.
But after some exchanges, players barely got a little good news.
Erin's grandfather died, and Erin became a lonely orphan.
Grandma Julie is also dead, and can no longer help the players who are in a hurry at hand.
Blame the old man Cooper's hand is broken, and I'm afraid I won't be able to cure the disease and save people in the future.
