Chapter Forty-Eight: The Chaotic City (Part 1)

After getting the news, the first thing Barrett did was to look around for the commanding heights. Having chosen a place, he snapped his fingers and ran towards a tall pile of ruins.

Standing high and looking far away, he climbed to the top of the ruins and looked at the whole of Karada in a cloud of fire and smoke. The city is densely populated with buildings, which makes the fire spread quickly. At present, there is a tendency to spread to areas that are still intact.

In the distance, the sun has sunk below the horizon, as if the afterglow of the light echoes the firelight of the city. It adds a touch of desolation to the smoke-filled city of Karada. Even the city's most prosperous business district and the outer aristocratic district, which represents the backbone of the administration, are in shambles. I don't know if the old and weak women and children who lack combat effectiveness have taken refuge in time in these two heavily defended areas.

The only thing that seems to be thankful is that the inner city, which is the administrative center, does not seem to have been subjected to any decent impact thanks to the protection of the city walls, the locks, the firearms, and the army. Although the outer walls are mottled everywhere, not a single house inside has not collapsed.

At the same time, Barrett can faintly make some noisy sounds, which can only be barely distinguished by the sound of crying, slashing and howling.

'Are there still demons wreaking havoc in the city?' Barrett's brow furrowed, but when he thought about it, something was wrong: 'No! The agitation on such a large scale is too far from what the communications corps who had returned from earlier had reported. Even if it's a lie about the military, it's not so bold in the city! In this way, it seems that eighty percent of people took advantage of the chaos after the disaster to take advantage of the fire. ’

Greed and the psychology of getting more for nothing are often the inferior nature of intelligent beings. In addition to the so-called morality, they are suppressed by the fear of punishment afterwards. Therefore, in an orderly environment, such incidents of beating, smashing, and robbing are relatively rare. But once the situation is corrupted and the order collapses, then some intelligent beings can no longer suppress the greed in their hearts.

I don't know if any players have joined this "carnival"! I hope those who join in a few days don't regret their decision now. With a sneer, he said, "Now let's see if we can get some tasks to deal with these rioters!" Compared to demons, these guys are much easier to deal with. ’

Barrett, who had an idea in his heart, immediately set off and returned to the camp: "Mario, how is your condition, how much combat power have you recovered?" ”

"What's the situation, those damn demons are fighting back or what? Oops! Mario, who had been lying down, sat up at once, and let out a wail from the wound that had been touched by the action.

"Why are you reacting so much! Don't get excited, listen to me first. Barrett immediately crouched down and helped Mario steady, "Although most of the demons have been cleared, there is a lot of chaos in the city now. We might even be able to make a temporary cameo appearance on patrol of the team. ”

Rielly, who was holding Lalu, rubbed the kitten-man's cheek and asked, "Barrett, you don't want us to take on a task like policing in our current state, do you?" Do you think your current combat strength is appropriate? ”

"If Mario is okay, then there's nothing wrong with it. After all, the strength of the guys who have just come to the fore to make trouble is often not very good. Barrett showed a sense of confidence.

Mario's expression was clearly a little moved, but in the blink of an eye, he said with a bitter face: "But what about my armor?" ”

The bust that the temple had provided to Mario had already been reimbursed in the previous battle. According to the judgment of the trainee blacksmith of the anvil, it is more convenient to rebuild this armor in the current situation. If you really take it for repair, the labor cost is much more than buying a new one.

Fortunately, since it was damaged during the battle against the demons, Mario could have replaced it with a new set of armor for free afterwards. He was even greatly commended by the church because of today's table. However, this qiē needs to go through the procedure, and the current situation is that Mario has no armor available.

"Don't worry! I won't let you parade naked through the streets. The corners of Barrett's mouth turned up slightly, "Besides, when I encounter a suitable target, I can also use the Heavenly Punishment Strike to speed up everyone's life recovery!" ”

Noodles, who suddenly appeared behind Barrett, teased, "This last sentence won't be your main purpose!" Those wounds on the body are not good, everyone is in pain! ”

"Let's go! I'll go and talk to the person in charge of the camp first, and any of you will come with me to see if there is a suitable patrol mission. With that, Barrett turned and walked towards the center of the camp......

"Mr. Boram, I think I understand what you mean." The manager of the camp is a big man with a height of 2 meters. Seeing him sit at a low desk that was significantly smaller than his own, Barrett always felt a special sense of joy.

Barrett straightened his back and said solemnly: "I think since we live in Karada, we have a responsibility to contribute to the security of the aftermath of the disaster. ”

"Although our manpower is a little lacking, a few of you have earned our respect through yourself in the previous table." The big man behind the table opened his little eyes and looked at Barrett for a moment, "But the situation in the city is chaotic right now. You're not a soldier, you don't know how to code, so it's likely that you're patrolling the roads and causing chaos is about as effective as maintaining law and order. ”

"In this regard, it would be good if we only had a few members of the regular army." Barrett, who didn't feel disgusted from the other party's tone, said his thoughts like this.

"Isn't that very descriptive?" The big man touched his chin with a hesitant expression.

Barrett hurriedly added another fire: "This has a precedent in the Poitu Dragon Disaster 2oo years ago. This time the situation should not be much different from that time. ”

It took a while for the other party to make a final decision: "I think you convinced me, young man." In about half an hour you bring your team here to do your bidding, and then it's time for you to get out. ”

The Bloodstained Grey Flower Team accepts the mission: "Calm down!" The smoke of gunpowder in Karada. "Branch" of the order of the restoration of the order of the "steady dìng". Quest rewards will be released after completion, depending on the situation. ”

Barrett bowed deeply to the manager, "Thank you very much for your support, if you can, can you temporarily allocate a piece of leather armor to us?" In the previous battle with the demons, the armor of our paladin was scrapped. ”

The other party generously waved his hand: "Compared to the previous tragic battle, this is just a small matter. However, you will have to use the sticks we provide as your main weapon to capture the suspect alive as much as possible. ”

"Please rest assured." Barrett clutched his chest and said......

Join the patrol and make your way through the streets of the city. Although the city is now under martial law, a large number of soldiers and patrols are involved in maintaining order. But the terrible catastrophe that had just struck had brought considerable chaos to the normal order of Karada.

Look at the collapsed buildings on both sides of the road, and the bones that remain between the ruins. Everywhere there are traces of the end of the battle. There were all kinds of corpses lying scattered on the ground. Among the corpses of these humans were soldiers and adventurers, as well as civilians. And their corpses were mixed together, soaked in blood, and smoked by fireworks, even if they were given enough time, it was difficult to tell the difference.

The two aboriginal soldiers at the front of the line bowed their heads and sighed. He could only hold the instrument in his hand tightly, and gritted his teeth and swore in his heart that he must make all those involved in the incident pay the price.

"Don't ...... Woo! Don't ......" cries came from behind the ruins not far away.

"There is a situation." One of the aboriginal soldiers pointed in the direction from which the voice came and motioned for the blood-stained gray flowers to follow. But in the blink of an eye, the kitten Lalu took the lead in leaving everyone behind with the high characteristics of the warrior monk.

I saw the kitten roll and jump a few times, and walk freely through the uneven rubble piles and obstacles. Then it disappeared from everyone's sight. She was followed by Tom, Bena's animal companion, who was still faster on four legs than two in this environment.

"Bang! Bang! The sound of a fight came from behind the ruins. By the time Barrett and the others arrived, Larlou and Tom were in a standoff with three unscrupulous-looking men, who were supposed to be slum dwellers. These guys may think that this is a suitable opportunity for them to vent their hearts!

"Heavenly blow," Barrett didn't say a word, picked up the stick in his hand, and hit one of them on the ass. Barrett, who understands the official meaning, chooses parts that are not easy to cause serious injuries - population is a very important resource, and it is difficult to account for the above if he is killed or disabled.

As the stick hit, a white light flashed, and Barrett and his party suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Fighting monsters to heal injuries is really a pleasure both physically and mentally!

After easily disposing of a few scumbags, the aboriginal soldiers shackled them. Only then did Barrett notice that in the collapsed pile of rubble, there was a small face that still looked immature, it was a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.

After what happened just now, the little girl's facial expression was full of horror and uneasiness, and the little face that should have been ruddy had turned black and yellow. Her still delicate face was covered with tears that had cried. The original clothes had turned into a pile of rags, and with the efforts of both hands, the blue and purple bodies were covered with difficulty.
