The light in the temporarily occupied hall was dimmed, the candle flame was deliberately reduced, and the dim light dragged deep nicks on the texture of the wood.

The remote corner was quiet, and there was a sense of tranquility in the air.

Everyone here was not too accustomed to the bright firelight, but as long as the middle-aged man with a pale face and an eye patch did not speak, everyone else did not dare to make a mistake at will.

Sophie may be able to recognize this man here, as his appearance has barely changed from more than a decade later: this is the deputy of the 'Black Lord' Instalon, the vampire baron, the 'One-Eyed' Tagus. He is a member of the Manrhine family, a fourteenth generation of vampires, and also a younger generation. However, compared to his seniority in the Madara army, he is far deeper than the hairy boy Instaron.

But it doesn't matter, this is just the beginning of the cooperation between them.

Tagus watched as the skeleton soldiers brought out the materials from the library one by one, and after a pause, he turned around and asked the corpse witch beside him, "Tell me, what did Roscoe leave you behind to report?" ”

"Dear General Tagus, my master has found a scout in that manor." The Witch bowed his head and replied in a dry voice.

"So what?" He glanced at it, his gaze falling back on the unfolded tactical map.

"He fled."

There were a few disdainful sneers around.

The vampire general looked up, and the whispering voice immediately subsided. He paused for a moment, then said, "I see, Roscoe did a good job." But I hope it is better for him not to be distracted by these minor matters—I want to see him arrive at the Belledo Forest before noon. ”

The Corpse Witch nodded respectfully and withdrew.

But no sooner had it left than a discordant sound could be heard in the conference room. This time it was a tall skeleton that was covered in an old brass armor, and the dark yellow flames in its eyes flickered with a kind of indignation:

"Lord Tagus, maybe humanity has discovered our intentions, that scout—"

It opened its mouth, but suddenly there was no sound coming from its leaky jaw. Because it saw that Tagus was staring at him with the only eye he had left, and this gaze made it subconsciously shut up.

There was a chuckle around it, and the sneer in it made the fire in its eyes flicker in annoyance.

"Kabais."

"In!" The tall skeleton immediately replied.

"You go take this place." Tagus pointed to a village on the map.

"Before sunrise," he pointed to the rooftop, "I want to see the results—"

"Yes, Lord Tagus."

"Wessa, Emberton."

"In!" Answered in unison,

"You go and attack Webin and block the Dagger Beach."

"Yes, Lord Tagus."

"Crow's beak."

"In!"

"Give you two squads to search and clear the area."

"Yes!"

Tagus raised his head and swept everyone coldly: "You are all nobles in the dark, and we want to see you carry out my every order gracefully and quickly, meticulously. Reedenburg, that's our next goal. ”

He took the lead in standing up, put his pale hand on his left shoulder, and said, "Madara will prevail—"

The spirits of the dead stood tall and replied in a deep voice: "Madara will win—"

Tagus lowered his head, his gaze falling back to the map once more. He first saw the Red Pine Forest south of Buch, then moved up to the Green Village, the Beldeau Forest, and then to the Lidenburg - and continued upward, the Pinnacle Valley.

Human scouts? He smiled coldly.

……

And at the same moment, when the full moon is reflected on the top of the pine forest.

There was no wolf howling in the mountains of Yusong, but there was a wind in the black pine forest, and the cold wind passed through the branches of the trees like light smoke, and it was cold, so that people couldn't help but feel a little cold in their vests. The young men of Buch had never spent the night outside, and the misty darkness of the forest always made them a little suspicious, as if there was a terrible monster in every shadow.

But a voice calmed their hearts.

"Hold this position."

"Yes, that's right."

"Water—"

"Give me a bandage."

"Press it down."

When it was finally done, Sophie wiped her sweat and let out a long breath.

He was relieved to see a pale green +2 emerge from the young man's body.

After the first aid skill reaches the beginner level (level 0), the bandaging recovery effect is naturally improved. It was no different from the game, but every thing that corroborated Sophie's memory was much more reassuring to him.

How to clean the wound, prevent infection, stop bleeding, bandage and what to pay attention to in detail, tips, he guided Makmi and Nibeto little by little to complete this qiē. Of course, he didn't have the body to operate himself, and his own weakness was only a little better than that of Jossen in a coma.

And when Nibeto completed the last step at his prompting, Sophie looked up and found everyone looking at him dumbfounded.

Specialized.

That's all they have in mind.

Even little Phoenix turned around and said to Freya behind her seriously: "Big sister, it seems that your technique is quite inferior compared to-"

As for Freya, she stood at the edge of the crowd, her face as pale as water.

Sure enough, sure enough, he was looking for an excuse to approach himself before, shameless people! She couldn't help but draw a conclusion in her heart, and she looked at Roman with some concern, only to see that the latter was counting the loot on the ground with a smug face.

This damn girl.

But God, only Sophie knows that all of his knowledge comes from the skill of 'First Aid in the Field', and it is only when he recalls the skill on the list that it is presented in his memory. In the memory of young people, most of the primary battlefield first aid knowledge comes from the first three sections of the book "Gerson's Holy Cross", which mainly talks about bandaging skills. Sophie happens to know Gerson in the game, the current Grand Priest of Pragues.

The contents of the book were as if he had read them hundreds of times. That feeling of being handy is like opening a plug-in to learn rescue techniques.

It's a pity that there is a price to be paid for opening a plug-in.

And on the other hand.

Sophie soon learns that in fact there are ten members of Buchi's militia detachment 3, including Freya, Macmie, Essen, Ike and Little Phoenix are more familiar with him.

Then there are the less talkative Niberto and Vlad, two brothers who migrated from the Bora region and who have inherited the taciturn nature of the locals, who prefer to do more than talk.

Then there is Jossen, who is unconscious and unlikely to wake up.

And then there's the dreaming businesswoman, and the girl who was with her. Sophie later learns that it is the daughter of the town baker, but her cousin is a bit introverted and shy, not as generous as the other two ladies.

This girl's name is Bertha, and she has a soft temperament, but at least she is a good girl with a good heart.

That's all the people Sophie needs to deal with, and it seems like they're all very good young people, but Sophie knows that this is the new person in a bunch of new people, and she doesn't understand what they're going to face next.

So he thought for a moment before asking, "Do you have any plans?" ”

The next moment the smile on the individual's face disappeared, and there was silence in exchange.

"Let's go to Fort Rieden." After waiting for a while, Esentiyì said.

"That's right, Captain Madden, they're going there too." Ike chimed in.

Unsurprisingly, Sophie shook her head.

He looked up at the young men, and there was silence and uncertainty about tomorrow on their faces. Even though Freya looked slightly better, the white knuckles of the hilt betrayed her true mood.

Only Roman replied as a matter of course: "I'm with Brando." ”

This answer made Sophie angry and funny. But the merchant's bluntness was so appealing to the young man that he paused and said, "Well, I agree with you on one thing—the most important thing for us is to get out of here at the moment. ”

"That means there's something you don't agree with, right?" Freya asked.

Sophie nodded: "Does anyone have a map?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, who would have that kind of thing? Although they are militia, in most cases they are under the command of local guards. To put it bluntly, they are nothing more than reserves.

Sophie also realized that she had made a mistake, and that carrying a map without the authorization of the temple in Eruin would be treated as a spy. He always puts himself in the identity of a traveler, forgetting that he is now a member of this world.

And here, there are no more players.

"The garrison seems to have it......" Makmi stammered behind the crowd.

Sophie shook her head, and said to herself, "Isn't that nonsense?" He sighed, turned back to the merchant lady on the side, and said, "Roman, give me a sword." ”

"Okay, Brando."

Sophie took the sword and drew two lines on the soft ground.

"This is the Merriam-Webster River, this is the Yusong River."

He tapped a few times between the two rivers with the tip of his sword: "This is Buchi, here is Qingcun, and here is Weibin." ”

He just sketched a rough outline with a few strokes, but it opened the eyes of young people again. After all, in this day and age, there are few people who know the world so well.

"Isn't that Three Towns?" Bertha couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"It's amazing, so we're like this here." Ike looked at Sophie's gaze with some adoration.

"So Buche is here?"

"Brando, how do you know?" Everyone asked in a gossipy manner, after all, they were young people, and they still couldn't suppress that heart.

Sophie shook her head.

Just kidding, he doesn't even recognize the novice village in the three towns, so he might as well find a piece of tofu to kill him. Of course, he couldn't answer like that, he deliberately asked, "Haven't you studied tactical maps?" ”

Tactical maps? What is that?

Everyone was at a loss, Martha was on top, could it be that the militia in Prague even had to learn this?

Everyone couldn't help but be a little blindly reverent for a while.

But our hero laughs in his heart, this thing will not even be mastered by the average junior non-commissioned officer in the regular army, and it is strange that the militia can learn it. But of course, he didn't demolish himself to his face, but nodded at the place where the two rivers meet:

"This is Fort Ridden."

"Ah, is this Fort Riden?" Roman asked curiously.

"What's wrong?" Sophie clearly heard the sound of suffocating laughter around him, and he couldn't help but look up and ask.

"That's right, Big Brother Brando. When Roman was a child, he was so envious of the merchants of Riedenburg that he clamored every day to become a merchant, and once she ran out and claimed to be going to Riedenburg to do a big business, and the result was that "little Phoenix not only immediately defected to the enemy and treason, but also sold a pass."

The people around couldn't help but chuckle.

"The result?" Sophie asked.

"Haha, she got lost in the forest halfway through, and it was Uncle Sil who went to find her later." Little Phoenix laughed.

"No, nothing like that." Roman's eyebrows furrowed.

Sophie glanced at the future merchant lady and couldn't help but think that it seemed that she hadn't learned enough lessons.

"Okay, let's get back to business. Why do you want to go to Riedenburg? He collected his feelings and continued to ask.

"There's an army there."

"Captain Madden, they're definitely going there."

"My uncle too." Everyone was gossiping again, but it all meant the same, they each had their own relatives, and although they were separated for a while, maybe they would go to Riedenburg, so why not go to Riedenburg?

This answer made Sophie a little unable to refute, which is also normal, who would leave their loved ones behind? But he also knew that those who escaped from Buchi would be overtaken by Madara's army. And now going to Lytenburg, you can only throw yourself into the net.

Sophie knew very well that at this point they had to go parallel to the Grim Reaper' Kabais, stagger it into the Beldeau Forest, and wade across the Dagger River before Emberton and Wesa could join in. From there, they will enter the Deer Hunting Forest, where they will reach Anzek with the main force of Instarong and inform the local garrison of the plans for the advance of Gusta on Instaon's flank.

Only in this way can they be saved, and Eruin will not be defeated as badly as it has been in history.

But how is he going to speak?

Forget it, it's still the old rules, take one step at a time. He rubbed his somewhat heavy forehead and said, "It's okay, we can go in the direction of Riedenburg first, and decide what to do next depending on the situation." ”

Then he looked up to meet Freya's worried look, and the girl clearly didn't believe him.

"Mr. Brando?"

"It's nothing, it's just a judgment. Maybe things will change. He smiled at the girl. But having said that, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The reality is very cruel, and it is up to him to choose, who is still very weak. Of course, if he had the chance, he would definitely find a way to try it once.

Otaku, that's how naïve you are.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself-

……
