Chapter 166: Attack

Soon, the first evacuation team began to set off from the drop point of the magic skyship, led by Miss Mary Anjka, the deputy head of the Scarlet Glory Mercenary Regiment, and assisted by the traveler girl Claire Pandamus, leading five crew members and fourteen passengers to set off towards the ruins, including four seriously injured and incapacitated passengers and two crew members who were also seriously injured, they were carried by the rest of their companions who were less injured and did not affect walking, and they also brought a small amount of supplies and food in order to deal with some possible potential emergencies。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

If the plan goes well, some of them will return to the drop site with Deputy Captain Marie Anjeka after arriving at the ruins, and carry the remaining five passengers who are also seriously injured and unable to walk on their own and one seriously injured crew member to the ruins again on a simple stretcher made of wooden planks, and divide them into the second and final evacuation team. Then, the small group of people who remained with a certain traveler girl were on the side of the ruins, taking care of the first batch of seriously wounded who had been evacuated, while also setting up some simple tents for the group.

As for a certain Captain Rip, according to Xia's idea, she originally wanted the captain to leave with the first batch of teams and stay on the site to be responsible for calming people's minds, after all, the environment there is a little unfamiliar compared to the familiar magic sky ship here, and having this captain with her should make those people feel more at ease.

However, Captain Rip insisted on his opinion and stayed at the crash point of the magic skyship.

Captain Rip's exact words are this: It is unlikely that there will be any danger on the other side of the ruins, and it is relatively safe, but this side may face the attack of those damned forest clans at any time! As the captain of the Demon Sky Boat, it is my duty to stay behind and protect the safety of the rest of the people in this situation!

In the face of Captain Rip's insistence, Xia finally nodded in agreement with his choice, indeed, in comparison, it was much more dangerous to stay on the side of the crash point of the magic skyship, and there were only two people in Trea Kukukol, and there were not enough people to serve as a protective force, if the forest clan really attacked in a big way, it was likely to take care of the other.

Therefore, with the help of Captain Rip, perhaps the burden of himself and Trea Kukukel will be a little easier, after all, this Captain Rip's physical strength and adaptability are not bad, and it can be seen from the attack of the Thorn Raven not long ago that his body is no worse than the average strong guy, and he has more experience in fighting.

Soon, the first group of evacuees set off, and the figures of the group disappeared into the thick fog.

The originally lively and busy atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and there was only some lingering solemnity left on the side of the landing point of the magic skyship.

Time passed in silent waiting......

"Damn, I hope Miss Anjka and they can ...... well"

Glancing at a certain captain with a worried face and a little restless, Xia didn't go to answer him, but calmly sat in a slightly higher position on the wreckage of the magic skyship, always keeping an eye on the direction of the forest clan's residence, with a blank expression.

Due to the mist, the mist cloak on her body was now a little damp, and the color became a little darker, and it seemed to be thicker, and even her long silver-white hair was stained with a lot of water droplets, but she didn't care much about it.

Similarly, a certain veteran mercenary Trea Kukukl is much calmer than a certain Captain Rip, perhaps it is indeed his many years of mercenary career experience, which makes him face danger mentality and experience is very rich, at this moment, this mercenary is clasping his hands in front of his chest, half-lying and half-leaning in a corner, his expression is a little lazy, and even, he yawned greatly, two faint tears hung in the corners of his eyes, it seems that he was awakened by the previous warning trap was triggered, causing him to be a little restless now, and he needs to quickly replenish sleep and strength。

“......”

Noticing the presence of these two old gods, a certain Captain Rip did not become more restless by their emotions, and began to pace back and forth from place to place, constantly shifting his gaze back and forth with the direction of the forest people's residence, as if this was the only way to ease his anxiety.

To the captain's relief, there had been no unusual changes in the direction of a forest clan's residence, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, with no signs of certain creatures coming to attack him.

As the minutes ticked by, the place where the Sky Ship fell was peaceful, and only occasionally could the worried thoughts of a certain Captain Rip sound.

Ten minutes... An hour... Two hours......

Finally, when the silent calculation time in Xia's heart came to the point of two hours and forty minutes, the situation finally changed.

A slightly noisy sound approached the drop point of the magic skyship, but it came from the direction of the dense forest on the other side of the ruins.

After listening intently for a second, a hint of surprise appeared on Captain Rip's face, and he looked at the few faint figures that appeared in the dense forest over there due to the fading of the fog, and finally relaxed his tense spirit, laughed, and turned to meet him.

"Haha, Miss Anjka, you're finally back!"

The captain's expression was a little overjoyed, if it weren't for the fact that the deputy leader of a mercenary group was a young and beautiful woman, he couldn't help but open his arms and give the other party a hug, but now, his hug could only be reserved for a strong crew member who returned with him.

"Gaia, my good boy, how's it going?"

Captain Rip gave a strong bear hug to one of the crew members, and after his question was met with a nod of affirmation from the strong crew member named Gaia, the captain patted the other man on the shoulder again in relief, and praised, "Yes, well done!"

"Well, it looks like everything is going well?"

Seeing everyone appear, Xia Ye got up and walked over, she looked at the expressions and states of the returning people, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and she was also relieved.

"Yes, Miss Xia, fortunately not disgraced!"

Although she had gone through a difficult trek through the woods, she didn't look much tired to Mary Anjeka, who had the power of the bloodline, and she was not at all comparable to the ordinary people behind her. On the other hand, the crew and passengers, who seemed to be physically strong, could always tell that they were a little tired, although they were also happy to return to the Demon Skyship.

"Miss Claire and Dr. Jerry have stayed on the other side of the ruins, taking care of the wounded and setting up a new camp. ”

Mary Anjka nodded to Xia and explained a few words, she glanced at Trea Kukukel and Captain Rip, then turned her head to look at the crew and passengers who came back behind her, and asked Xia, "Miss Xia, are we going to transfer all the remaining personnel now?"

"Well, let's take a break first! After walking for so long, everyone is probably quite tired, so let's rest for a few minutes, and things are not in a hurry for a while. ”

Xia thought about it, and said to everyone.

Although she also wants to evacuate everyone as soon as possible, the combination of work and rest can make this matter more efficient.

If you keep driving behind the back of a horse with a whip, it is estimated that even Maxima will not be able to withstand the whipping for too long, and in the end it will only slow down the overall speed of the matter. What's more, this isn't the last trip! after all the personnel are evacuated, they still need to continue to carry enough supplies from the Demon Sky Ship to the ruins, rather than just leave it once and for all.

"Okay!"

Mary Anjka, who had experience in managing mercenary groups, was naturally able to understand this, and the deputy leader quickly nodded and agreed with Natsu's decision.

Sure enough, hearing the news, the returning crew and passengers were also overjoyed, and they all hurried to find a place to rest.

Because they also know that there is a limit to the time they can rest, and the sooner they complete the evacuation and evacuation, the safer the situation of everyone will be!

Soon, the short rest time passed, and there was no need to be reminded, everyone had already gotten up on their own initiative and began to move the supplies and food on the side of the magic airboat, or to carry out the wounded in the magic airboat and place them on a simple stretcher, or to bundle the removed planks and airbag materials so that they could be better taken away later.

After the experience of tidying up once, the preparations for the evacuation this time were much faster, and soon everyone had everything ready.

"Let's go, then!"

At this time, Xia also carried a large bundle of airbag leather material rolled up behind him, like this kind of light weight but huge volume, walking in the dense forest, in fact, is not easier and less labor-saving than carrying a person's stretcher, not to mention, there is not only one roll on her back, but four large rolls.

Of course, with the ability of this puppet container's body, she can still afford this level, if it weren't for the size of the leather rolls, she would still want to carry a few more rolls, so as to minimize the number of times she would carry them back and forth later, saving trouble.

As for Trea Kukukel and a certain Captain Rip, they worked together to carry a large bundle of planks and walked one after the other, both of them with strength.

Only Mary Anjeka, who was in charge of opening the way in front, was easier, but not much easier, after all, it was also a physically demanding job.

Following the same path, the crowd formed a long line and plunged back into the dense forest.

Click!

However, before everyone had gone far, Xia who was walking at the back of the line and was in charge of the palace turned back suddenly, because she heard some strange but familiar sounds.

"It's an early warning trap! They've been triggered again!"

Trea Kukukl, who was also walking in the back position, also stopped, he put down the end of the wooden board in his hand, and listened to the dense noise that sounded one after another, and his expression became very solemn.

You know, he had set up far more than one warning trap on the side facing the Forest Clan's residence, but the number of triggered noises and their density that he heard now had already told the experienced mercenary what was happening on his side: "It's the Forest Clan, and there are quite a few of them!"

The mercenary looked at Xia who was not far away, and said to her in a deep tone.

"Hmm. ”

Xia nodded in response, she just reached out and untied the rope that held the air bag skin roll on her body, and then, she looked at Mary Anjeka and raised her voice a little: "Anjeka!

"Well, I'll stay and help too!"

Trea Kukukel gripped the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his expression a little solemn.

Hearing the mercenary's words, a certain Captain Rip also let go of his hand holding one end of the plank, grasped the long knife at his waist, and cursed in his mouth: "Damn, these ghost things are here, after waiting for so long, I want them to taste my power!"

"Miss Xia!"

As if she understood what Natsu was going to do, Mary Anjeka's eyes flickered a little, and she snorted lightly at Natsu, but her feet refused to move.

The leader at the front did not move, and naturally the whole team stopped, unable to move forward.

"Oh, let's go, you all keep walking! what do you think I'm going to do?"

Xia looked at everyone's expressions, probably knowing that they had misunderstood something, she chuckled, showed a confident smile, and said to everyone: "I didn't stay to stop them! I, even if I add a few of you, such a few people can't stop such a large group of guys, so don't think I'm going to die!"

As he spoke, Xia gestured with his right hand, and explained his plan quickly: "You continue to go to the ruins, and I will be responsible for going back and leading them away! Believe me, this is not difficult, I will find a chance to get out!"

"Treya, and Captain Rip, don't stay, keep going!"

Xia turned his head to look at the two of them, and instructed them: "Bring the things that you can bring, and if you really can't bring them, you can throw them away first, it's important to hurry!

Immediately afterwards, she repeated what Fang had just said to her to a certain deputy head of the mercenary group in front of her, urging everyone to hurry up.

"Hmph, don't worry, this isn't the first time I've escaped in the forest!"

With a light snort, Xia had already turned around and returned, and his body quickly rushed towards the fall point of the magic skyship.

"Miss Xia?!"

Seeing this, Captain Rip, Trea and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and they were a little undecided.

"Everybody, keep going!"

Mary Anjka looked at the figure that had faded and disappeared in the mist, gritted her teeth, and shouted to the crowd. (To be continued.) )
