Chapter 52: Bad News
Raffard's efficiency is pretty fast.
I don't know what special means this paladin used. Just one day later, Lan Wu was called over by Akara. When he arrived at Acala's tent, he could see at a glance that the atmosphere in the tent was particularly heavy.
"His Majesty Jehein has rejected our request." Akara sighed softly and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. Her face was very bad and full of exhaustion, and it was evident that she was exhausted by the bad news.
The faces of the Kasha people were also ugly. Camp Rog and Rogue have always been the last bastions of humanity. Historically, the two strongholds have also helped each other. But now that Rog's camp has suffered a catastrophe, Lu Gaoyin has ignored it.
"It's the mage named Gross." Kashya thumped his thigh in hatred and told the truth behind it: "In order to get Lugoin's support as soon as possible, we had to use a huge teleportation array. However, according to our emissary, it was learned from a secret source that Gross was adamantly opposed to Lugoin's reinforcement of Rog's camp. The excuse turned out to be that the demonic creatures around Rog's camp could never be more powerful than the demonic creatures around Lugoin. I can't wait to take that kid to the Cold Plains with my own hands. Is it the pressure he is under in Lugoin, or the pressure on our Rog camp. ”
"Now is not the time to get angry." Chassi, a barbarian blacksmith, was surprisingly calm.
"That's right, now we should consider holding Camp Rogue without Rugoin's aid." Kidd's face was gloomy, and his appearance, which he couldn't look at directly, became more and more eerie......
"So we'd like to hear your advice." Akara looked at Lan Wu with a little expectation and made a summary.
"It's a great opportunity." Lan Wu smiled, and when he said a word, he was so shocked that even Akara covered his mouth in surprise.
The Rog scouts sent by Kasha have already sent back the news, and it is tentatively estimated that the Fallen Demons who are heading to the Blood Wasteland are at least of Andariel's level of strength. With such a powerful demon army about to be ushered in, Camp Rog will only face annihilation, how can it be regarded as a rare opportunity?
"Boy, this isn't the time for jokes." Kasha was the most anxious, and immediately jumped up and glared at Lan Wu fiercely after hearing this.
"I say that for three reasons." Lan Wu didn't care, and raised his index finger with a smile: "First of all, you adults are already aware of the current gap between Rog's camp and other human strongholds. For example, Lugoin, the only thing they can despise in Rog's camp is that the demonic creatures they face are not weak. In a phrase that is often on the lips of the people of Lugoin, any demonic creature outside of Lugoin is stronger than Andariel. Now the gap between us and them has been erased. There was no reason for them to continue to despise Camp Rogue. The pros of Camp Rog can also puff out their chests proudly to face the pros of Lugoin. ”
No one can argue with that. This is indeed a great opportunity for Camp Rogge. If you take it right, it is very likely that all the professionals in the camp will have a strong sense of belonging to the camp.
Lan Wu took in the reactions of Akara and the others, and then raised his middle finger again: "Second, risks and benefits coexist. The bigger the crisis, the higher the benefits. Now those Fallen Demons have the strength of Andariel. In other words, as long as you kill them, you can get higher quality equipment. For example, gold equipment, or even dark gold equipment. ”
This was something that the Akara people couldn't refute. It is a well-known rule that risks and benefits coexist. The greater the risk, the higher the benefit. Withstanding this disaster, Camp Rog will gain a period of rapid development.
Lan Wu waited until Akara and the others digested the first two points, and then raised his ring finger: "Third, in fact, this point is similar to the second point. However, in order to give you a better understanding, I can only separate from the second reason......"
Before he could finish explaining, the impatient Kashya rolled his eyes impatiently and urged: "Young people should look like young people, don't hide like Akara." ”
Akara was helpless. This inexplicable lying gun is really wronged.
Lan Wu apologized again and again, and immediately cut to the chase: "Just like I said for the second reason." The increased level of those Fallen Demons meant that by killing them, the camp pros would gain a large amount of demonic energy to absorb. I know that the amount of demonic energy absorbed by a professional is determined by the level of the individual. It doesn't matter, though. The important thing is that our professionals can gain a huge amount of demonic energy from this disaster. As long as these demonic qi are digested, any professional can quickly grow into a master that even Lu Gaoyin would be jealous of. ”
Akara and others are also unable to refute this reason.
"And how should we defend ourselves against their attacks?" The anticipation in Akara's eyes intensified.
"Strengthen the camp's defenses while waiting for the Raven's hand." Lan Wu said his plan cleanly.
After hearing this, Akara and the others frowned. Whether or not they can be trusted by the crows is still unknown. Let's not mention this for now. Strengthening the camp's defenses was possible, but time was running out. Even now that civilians have begun to be mobilized, it may be harder to repair a wall strong enough to withstand Al-Andariel than to climb to the sky.
"So it's my turn as a benefactor." Lan Wu looked at Akara and the others with a smile, as if he was not talking about himself.
"What can you do?" Kashya blurted out in surprise.
"I can promise to buy the camp another month or so." Lan Wu smiled, his tone very confident.
Kashya was taken aback and looked at Lan Wu in disbelief. Not only her, but even Akara and the others were surprised, wondering why Lan Wu was so confident in buying a month for Rog's camp. If you can really have two months of pre-battle preparation, then you will be more sure of resisting the invasion of the demon army.
"It's a bit hard to explain." Lan Wu spread his hands helplessly. He still doesn't know why he has a great hatred for himself. He thought about it carefully, and chose a relatively simple way to say truthfully: "Bisu Hirosu seems to think that I owe it a lot of money. As long as I am willing to show up, there is a great chance that the demon army will change its target and hunt me down. ”
Hearing this, Akara and several people were dumbfounded. After a long time, Akara came back to his senses and looked at Lan Wu worriedly: "If what you said is true, then you will face the pursuit of the demon army. It's too dangerous. ”
"It's not dangerous." Lan Wu smiled and said, "The real danger is when the camp is besieged by demons. At that time, even if the gods themselves came, one of them would have to stay here completely. There is a proverb in the Far East. Death and resurrection. It means putting oneself on the brink of death, but instead finding a way to escape. ”
Akara silently. She had already been persuaded by Lan Wu. Especially when the real danger was when the camp was besieged by demons, she knew it all too well. Once the camp is besieged by demons, all the people in the camp will die if there are no reinforcements.
The Kasha and the others also fell silent, their expressions very heavy. Everyone seemed to have seen the tragic scene.
After a long silence, Akara sighed helplessly: "For the sake of the camp, I can only promise you to do this." You can ask for anything and we will do our best to accommodate it. But I have one request. ”
Lan Wu was stunned.
Akara smiled reluctantly and said, "When you find out that things are irreversible, I hope you can escape and not make unnecessary sacrifices." ”
Lan Wu was silent, and then made a suggestion in a deep voice: "Actually, we can abandon the camp, and while the army of the Sinking Demon has not yet arrived, we can gather professionals to protect civilians and leave the camp." Stone Wilderness, Dark Forest, and even Taymour Heights will do. As long as there are people, Camp Rogge can be rebuilt at any time. ”
Hearing Lan Wu's proposal, Akara and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly. Kasha, who was impatient, shook his head and said, "One of the most important reasons why the teleportation array can only be used by professionals is that the teleportation array belongs to ancient magic. It is now lost. At present, the teleportation array can only rely on its own absorption of magic from the outside world to maintain its operation. There is no guarantee that everyone will be sent out of the camp. ”
Without waiting for Lan Wu to speak, Chaxi slapped his thigh with a big grin and said with a smile: "And the teleportation array can't afford to use it at high intensity." Once the magic structure inside the teleportation array collapses, then we will completely lose this teleportation array. ”
As soon as Chassi finished speaking, Kidd smiled sheepishly, "That's not the point. Kane had studied teleportation arrays and found that there was a strong connection between them. If one teleportation array is destroyed, the other teleportation arrays will collapse one after another. ”
Hearing this, Lan Wu was silent. He had already thought of other outcomes. At present, these hundreds of professionals in the camp cannot protect more than 4,000 civilians at all. Once the army of the Fallen Demons of Bisu Hirosu entered the Blood Wasteland, the more than 5,000 people in the Rog camp had only one way to die. Rather than risk leading civilians to migrate, it is better to stick to the Rogue camp, and perhaps there is a glimmer of life.
"I see." Lan Wu restrained his smile and solemnly put forward his request: "I hope to get the physical strength potion, the more the better." I also need a lot of light healing potions and light mana potions. ”
"Stamina Elixir ......" Kidd's old face drooped, and he squeezed out an ugly smile in embarrassment: "This potion belongs to the category of high-level alchemy. At the moment, only Accra can be formulated. However, even if it can be formulated, it is unlikely that there will be many of them. In a month's time, I estimate that there are only about 10 bottles. ”
Akara nodded helplessly, acquiescing to Kidd's statement. She added: "This agent is rarely used by professionals. At the moment I only have three bottles in my hands. ”
Lan Wu heard that there were still three bottles, and his heart was relieved. Three bottles are better than nothing. Stamina potions can be of great help to your upcoming adventures. He immediately nodded and accepted: "Three bottles are just three bottles, and I hope the potions I need can be prepared as soon as possible." I'm going to go today. Before I do that, I'll have to go to the Professionals' Guild and get some preparations. ”
……
When Lan Wu returned to the tent from the Professionals' Guild, Akara had already prepared all the potions he needed. He took the space bag handed by Akara, examined it carefully, and then smiled with satisfaction, and waved his hand at Akara and the others.
"Inform everyone as soon as possible of the disaster that the camp is facing...... By the way, don't tell anyone about my whereabouts. ”
Akara and several people solemnly touched their chests with their right hands, bowed slightly, performed an orthodox etiquette, and blessed in unison: "May the gods be with you." ”
