Chapter 232: Rescue Dongxiang
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
People and food!
That's the value of Togo.
In terms of food, it is easy to understand, there is a well-known local flour processing factory and two small food factories in Dongxiang. I dare not say that there are at least tens of thousands of bags of finished flour in the warehouse, as well as a large amount of wheat that has not yet had time to be processed.
Although it can't compare to the Cloud City Grain Depot, it can be regarded as a rather amazing reserve.
At the very least, Fang Jin's fleet, which has been steadily expanding since that Yuncheng grain shipment, may not be able to pull it all at once.
People don't have to say much.
Zhao Kang, a level 8 thief beside Fang Jin, was the one who provided all the above information and came to ask for help alone.
His identity has been confirmed by Li Dong, a mage who previously defected to the guild, and he is a well-known lone ranger in Xinpu County. When Xinpu County was destroyed, he was cleaning up the lone flame beast near the east gate of the county with several other professionals. After discovering that something was wrong, he teamed up with more than a dozen fast professionals and fled to nearby Dongxiang as soon as possible.
During this period, he did not forget to take advantage of the situation to collect and protect some survivors.
But the problem soon came, after retreating to Dongxiang and merging with a group of local professionals, although the food was not worried, the number of flame demonic beasts roaming in and around Dongxiang continued unabated, endangering everyone's survival.
Zhao Kang also had no choice, so when he went out to investigate the situation in Xinpu County, he accidentally learned the shocking news that Ragnar was besieged and killed.
After going back and discussing, Zhao Kang reached an agreement with the local forces in Dongxiang and joined the Rescuers' Guild.
It's just that the flame demonic beasts around and along Dongxiang are too terrifying, and Zhao Kang and them are very reluctant to protect themselves in their lair, and it is impossible to break through with hundreds of survivors. In desperation, Zhao Kang could only rely on his stealth skills as a thief to break into Shu County alone and visit Fang Jin.
His openness and honesty made Fang Jin feel the sincerity of taking refuge.
Moreover, the destruction of Xinpu County has also made this force lose its roots, and it will take the initiative to merge with the Savior's Guild.
After considering various reasons, Fang Jin had this trip.
When it comes to food, don't worry too much about it for now. After the peak of the Plague of Flames has passed, a convoy can be sent to transport it. As long as the period is properly sealed and not ignited by the fire creatures.
The point is that you have to go over and get the person out first.
According to Zhao Kang's words, the situation in Dongxiang has been in danger, and no less than ten professionals have been sacrificed in the last day or two, which can barely support until now.
But the total number of remaining survivors, even if Zhao Kang brought it from Xinpu County, is only more than 30 people left.
If Fang Jin sets off one day late, two days at most, I'm afraid he will have to collect their corpses!
It was precisely because of the eagerness in his heart that even though this small convoy was already driving fast, the anxious Zhao Kang still couldn't help but urge several times.
Fortunately, the road from Shuxian to Tongmaba has already been opened up due to the repeated round-trips of the convoy. And the section from Tongma Dam to Xinpu County, the previous news exploration, ambush, and the rampage of the Flame Devourer Ragnar all the way forward, also barely opened a way.
Because of this, the convoy barely stopped except to destroy the fire creatures it encountered along the way.
Just five or six hours later, the charred ruins of Xinpu County were already in front of me.
When you get here, you will only be a stone's throw away from Dongxiang.
………
Dongxiang!
This once bustling township is now devastated in sight.
Hundreds of flame creatures wandered aimlessly, and from time to time a spilled flame would soon cause a small fire.
It is also a pity that this is a township, and the population and houses are not dense. In addition, when the situation was not so bad before, the members of the Togo Law League mobilized the survivors to clear a barrier and fetch water from the well for backup, which effectively limited the spread of the fire.
However, since the last two days, the situation has become more and more serious, and it can even be said that it has taken a sharp turn.
Standing on a slope with a drop of seven or eight meters, and a stone wall that was temporarily built and reinforced with stones, Xu Xiaochun, the leader of the French Alliance, was already depressed.
Although his men had taken advantage of the location and had eliminated a wave of wandering fire creatures an hour earlier, a warrior who had gone down to contain and protect the stone wall, plus a level 5 mage who had been accidentally killed in an instant, had once again paid the sacrifice of the two of them.
And at this moment, another group of flame creatures unconsciously gathered and were ready to move under the slope.
Among them, Xu Xiaochun clearly saw two gray-level enhancement monsters that were stronger and brighter in flames.
Ordinary dozen-level monsters have already made them anxious and difficult to deal with. These two strengthened monsters, I'm afraid I don't know how many of them will be killed!
"We're done!"
He said pessimistically, maybe this evening, he and the whole family behind him will all die here.
"Brother Xu, hold on." The deputy Niu Tong Liang next to him seemed to be comforting him, and seemed to be cheering himself up: "Didn't Brother Zhao Kang already go out to ask for help?" Optimistically, I guess that maybe this evening, at the latest tomorrow morning, the boss of Shu County will be able to have reinforcements over. ”
"Do you think it can be done?"
Xu Xiaochun clenched the second-order green-equipped staff whose durability had been worn to the limit, and he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
"It should be......" was asked by Xu Xiaochun, Niu Tongliang himself was also a little weak-hearted, and said strongly: "People can even kill the lord of Xinpu County, and it's not a piece of cake to deal with these ordinary demonic beasts outside us?" ”
"Whether this matter is true or not has to be said." Xu Xiaochun smiled bitterly and said, "Is it like that, it's not Zhao Kang's words?" Of course, I didn't doubt him, if he wanted to slip away alone, there was no need to run back to discuss with us at that time. I'm afraid that the information he gets may not be true. You know, people who are drowning will find a way to hold on to even a straw when they see it. ”
"Huh?"
Niu Tongliang was dumbfounded, staring at the flame creatures below uneasily, while muttering, "Isn't that ...... No more reinforcements? ”
Relying on them alone, although there are still thirty people, the average strength is too poor, and it is not enough to block so many monsters.
"I don't think there's much hope." Xu Xiaochun completely dispelled his partner's luck: "What's more, even if the kill is real, what about the loss?" People say that if eight people died, there were really only eight dead, do you believe that? The last time we killed an elite, we had to die several more if we didn't care. If you want me to see it, most of them are the Gao people in Shu County who deliberately made the losses small for the sake of face. ”
In the end, take 10,000 steps back, even if the loss of the Rescuer Guild is not very large, and there is still room for strength, why should people come all the way to save themselves?
With the record of overturning a lord, are you afraid that no one will take the initiative to come to the door?
The combination of such factors made Xu Xiaochun more and more disappointed after Zhao Kang volunteered to go out for help. But as the backbone of the Lord, he will not be stupid enough to say it in public, but will only make the internal chaos more in vain.
At this moment, there are only Niu Tongliang and a few vigilant professionals around him, so he naturally doesn't have to care too much.
At that moment, a flame grenade flew up from below, interrupting Niu Tong's words that lit up his mouth.
The atmosphere that had been tense was finally tense again.
They knew that it was likely that the last wave or two of the fire creatures would start attacking!
