11. Try it out

As I expected, the whole few months were uneventful, and I had plenty of time to train my apprentices. The gift money from the Sword and Shield Society gave me a lot of financial encouragement, and I thanked the rangers stationed here for retiring from the miners' work, and in addition to keeping the city safe, many of them helped to take care of the children, manage the slaves, and some of the veterans were encouraged by me to retire from the army, and became teachers or businessmen in the city.

Londoners began to adapt to the weeping life, working in mining, metallurgy, transportation, weaving, logging, construction, planting, fishing, animal husbandry, etc. They are fearful of me and extremely loyal and efficient. I improved my attitude towards them a little bit, and gave them preferential treatment to the smartest of them, allowing them to move into clean houses in quarantine and take basic courses in language, mathematics, culture, religion, etc.

However, their material life has not improved, and I will still take their newborns, not because I am stingy, but because I am still suspicious of their nature, and I must be careful, because it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to frugality.

Abel lived in seclusion in the city, I don't know if he was practicing or being lazy, and sometimes, he would suddenly go out and return about a week later, and I couldn't ask what he had done, so I had to let it go.

On the morning of the second day of the harvest festival, I was on my way to the temple when Soles appeared in the living room, dressed in a military uniform, so heroic and graceful that I almost thought she had changed from a living corpse to a human.

"I have something to report to the chief," she said. ”

I shouted, "Lamia? ”

Lamia hurriedly welcomed her into the room and asked, "Honey, what's the matter?" ”

Solace took out a map and said, "We've found something along the coastline." ”

That map was one of the Caron Corporation shelters that the Sword and Shield Society had given me, and I think there must have been a large number of surviving people in these shelters, possibly as many as 10,000. Of course, I'm going to move everybody to Weeping, but that would lead to a lack of food, and it's a real dilemma.

Lamia rejoiced, "You found the survivors? ”

"It was discovered by a squad of scavenging rangers, but the enemy fire was fierce, and the brothers were killed," said Soles. ”

Lamia asked, "What is the enemy's hiding place like?" How many people are there? ”

"They're in an area that looks like an amusement park, but it's not big, and according to the map, it's where the 'Luck Refuge' is located," Solace said. So, it's likely that they have a deeper dwelling underground. ”

It's the same as Mianduo, Howling, and Waterless Village.

Lamia asked, "How many people have we died?" ”

"Ten rangers, three dead and three wounded, fled back on moose, their commander died, and the adjutant was a new graduate of the Ranger Academy."

Lamia was surprised and said, "The enemy is so powerful? Is it a demon? ”

Soles shook her head and said, "They occupy a good position, and we have no cover, the enemy's firepower is very strong, even if we wear body armor and bulletproof helmets, we can't be a live target." ”

Lamia thought for a moment and said, "Gather fifty people, and you can go yourself." ”

Soles smiled, "Yes." ”

This is a good opportunity that we have been waiting for for a long time, the enemy has killed our people, and this gives us an excuse to plunder, to kidnap, to absorb them, alas, how can my thoughts become more and more barbaric? But so what? Conquest is a necessary way for us to expand rapidly.

I suddenly had a better idea.

I said, "No, I'm in charge of this operation." ”

Solesch said, "Longi? How did you... Think it's serious? ”

I smiled and said, "I'm going to take my students with me." ”

Soles said, "You... This is no child's play! ”

With a fearless spirit and a confident smile, I said, "For me, this trip is child's play." ”

Solace was helpless, but laughed and said, "For some reason, I would love to see your jokes, so I'm going to take my people with me too." ”

I said, "Yes, but the commander is me, and everyone must do what I command." ”

Soles: "Of course, you're the archbishop, and although you're not doing it properly, you're up to you." ”

Alas, Soles, Waste Bell, Zhao Luo, Mask, and Veraille are not very respectful in front of me, why am I completely undignified in their eyes? I vaguely remember a few times when I was talking about pornographic jokes and was listened to by Soles, and a few times I was blocked by them when I was watching a forbidden film, and a dozen times I pretended to fail in front of them, but other than that, it didn't seem to be much of a problem.

...

The apprentices were waiting in the temple, already lined up, and Winsap shouted, "Hello Master! "The others greeted me with great vigour.

I asked the Rangers who were following me to put the boxes on the ground, which contained the Rangers' combat uniforms and guns, and I said, "Today, we are going out and going through the actual combat test!" Within five minutes, put on the equipment with your name on it in the box. ”

The children were immediately excited, quickly opened the box, methodically found their names, put on bulletproof vests, leg armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, and each took a pistol and a shield.

I didn't let them learn to use a sword, but a gun, which is the fastest way to improve their combat power in a short period of time, of course, in the case of limited technological development, the ceiling of the sword is higher than that of the gun, so, in the end, I want them to be able to perfect their shooting and swordsmanship.

Carla yelled, "Dad, what about me and Martin?" ”

I said, "You are not allowed to go." ”

Kara snorted, "Why? It's not fair, why can they go to the real fight? ”

I'm doing it for security reasons, of course.

I replied, "Because you are too young." ”

Carla took Martin's hand and walked up to me, and she whispered in a scalp-tingling voice, "Daddy, take us along, you'll protect us, I trust you." ”

My blood gauge was empty in an instant, who could resist such a request? I don't think so.

But I tried to say: "This is not a spring outing, but a dangerous military operation, have you forgotten that you still have an important position in the town hall?" ”

Kara stared at me with big watery eyes and whispered, "Hmph, scoundrel, I'm ignoring you!" ”

I screamed and rolled over.

Ah Wei is dead.

I don't remember how much blood I vomited, but I remember Carla and Martin sitting on my shoulders, I walked outward, and the rest of the apprentices followed, and I always felt their eyes fall on my back, and there always seemed to be some disdain.

Dignity, hmph, is an abstract concept, but what is it?

Soles was waiting for us outside the walls, she took fifteen soldiers with herd, a herd of moose, one moose could carry at least two, or four if it was a child. I had Martin, Kara and I ride a deer together, and the rest of the apprentices mixed with the Rangers.

Maybe I'm spoiling these two children too much, will the apprentices be quite complaining?

But I prefer to be petted.

The apprentices were excited, but because of my strict rules, they kept their composure and didn't lose face in front of the Rangers.

I cared about Soles's life's work, but she didn't share a deer with Cherris, but was far away, and her distinction between public and private made it difficult for me to do so, and made me look like a model of favoritism.

How are she and Cheris doing now? Isn't it easy to break up? But I don't have the slightest interest in this kind of gossip, and maybe one day I'll go to her house late at night and eavesdrop on them to see if they're still in bed.

The production of Excalibur Bullets in the Black Coffin has been significantly increased, and now each person can get ten Excalibur Bullets and one Aether Grenade, which greatly increases the combat ability of the Rangers, and coupled with the fast pace of the mutant moose, it is much easier to deal with demons than before.

But the demons are endless. If there's a big rift around here, I'll have to try to close it.

After about twenty kilometers of travel, night fell, and the Rangers set up camp in a valley that had been discovered. Suddenly, the sentry shouted, "A demon is coming!" ”

The apprentices were in a state of panic and even more helpless, trying to be calm and diligent on the other, but in reality, they were all panicking.

I said to the Rangers, "Let my students handle it." ”

The Rangers laughed, "Yes, sir! ”

Soles asked, "Are you kidding?" ”

I gave each of the students a magazine Excalibur and said, "A pistol is most effective within twenty meters." "Carla and Martin didn't get it, but she didn't make a fool of me this time.

I was disappointed.

About twenty white demons rushed at us, and compared to the size of London, this place really felt like a novice village, and it couldn't be better for training novices.

The telepathic blade helps to concentrate, calm tension, enhance vision, like Lamia shooting, even in high-speed action, they rarely miss, and soon, their hands are no longer shaking.

The green flames jumped, and the sound of gunfire rang out, and the six white demons were shot and fell, and the rest roared, accelerating their charge.

One of the rangers laughed, "Not bad! Another said, "Fucking something." Someone else said, "They are students of the Sword Master, and this is right." ”

I tried to hold back a smile.

As he spoke, several more white demons rushed into the street, but at this time, the demons were only ten meters away from us. The Ranger was horrified and shouted, "Hey"

I released the shadows and kept the rangers behind the shadows, but the apprentices were in front of the shadows, facing the white demons, and the demons immediately targeted them, and the apprentices shouted in fright, only a few of the older children stepped back and shot, only one of them hit, and the others missed.

I shouted, "Use the Mind Blade!" ”

They struck the mind and spread the blade of the mind, which was not yet the level of the iron lotus, but it had already made the armor harder. Winsap raised his arm to block the demon's blow and shot the demon in the shoulder, which hit him and Weinsap stumbled as another came from the side. Todna screamed and fired three shots in quick succession, killing the demon, and she was clawed by the demon again.

In just ten seconds, the apprentices were all wounded, but not serious, and the protection of the Nian Blade and the bulletproof armor worked.

I watched them go from panic to confidence in ten seconds, gradually dodging, defending, counterattacking, it was still a losing battle, but they were all holding on.

Don't push too hard, it's good to take your time.

I threw a flashbang and slashed out the Heaven and Earth Genyichi, slaying all the demons in an instant.
