Chapter 162: Decision
"The Forest Clan?"
After listening to Xia's description, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but change in unison. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, Marie Anjeka and Trea Kukukel even glanced at each other, as if they were making eye contact with something, and their eyes became quite solemn.
"It's actually the Forest Clan?"
Trea Kukukel touched his stubbled chin with his right hand, took a breath, and smacked his lips to himself, "Tsk... That's not a good thing to deal with...... This is a problem!"
"Oh, have you encountered them before?"
Hearing his words, Xia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and when he heard some kind of extraneous meaning in the other party's tone, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party.
Seeing this, Captain Rip and the others also looked at the mercenary of the Scarlet Glory Mercenary Regiment, looking at him with inquiring eyes, wanting to hear the opinion of this veteran mercenary who seemed to have had a similar experience.
"Well, that's it......"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Trea Kukukel turned his head to look at his deputy commander, and after getting the other party's nod of approval, he didn't hide it, and told what he knew: "In fact, about a year ago, our 'Blood Glory' mercenary group encountered a similar situation during a relatively large escort mission, and at that time, we strayed into these without knowing it." They are not the kind of creatures that can sit quietly with us humans and talk together, even if they are said to be creatures with such a thing as 'intelligence'......"
At the end of the day, Trea Kukukl pursed his lips and pointed to his head, as if remembering the unpleasant experience of that time, and his tone was very disdainful of a certain creature.
"Yes, Treya, he's right, Miss Xia, and everyone!"
Marie Anjeka, the deputy leader of the mercenary group, took over Trea Kukukl's words, and she nodded, affirming her subordinate's opinion: "Although the last time we encountered these 'forest clans', the team did not suffer any serious losses, but it was also because of the neat and powerful guards of our mercenary group at that time, which is not the same as now! It's really a bit difficult to deal with, and all of them are not afraid of death...... If it's really as Miss Xia said, there are a large number of forest clans over there, if they attack, we can't resist it!"
"That'...... What can I do?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other and felt the seriousness of the matter.
A certain Captain Rip gritted his teeth and set his eyes on the crashed magic skyship, he stared at the spinning ballistas fixed to them, and suggested, "Otherwise, I can take someone to dismantle those ballistas and put them on the ground and relocate them, maybe it will do a little trick?"
"Maybe, but I guess I can't resist it!"
In this regard, Trea Kukukel only shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, he raised his hand and pointed to the leafy trees around him, and said in a deep tone: "Maybe I should remind you that they are ghosts who have always lived in this forest, and their climbing ability is much stronger than us humans, and their attacks do not only come from the ground......"
Everyone looked at the surroundings in the direction of this guy's finger, and suddenly their faces were a little unpleasant, and a certain Captain Rip looked even more like he had seen a ghost, with some toothache, and finally he only burst out with a curse: "Damn it!"
Because where they are now is in the middle of the forest, surrounded by those tall trees, dense and thick, and there is no end in sight. If you start a war with those forest clans, up and down, left and right, front and back, whether it is the ground or the sky, they will face the attack and threat of the other party in all directions, and it will be difficult to defend at all.
"Perhaps, we should think about the transfer and evacuation. ”
Marie Anjeka shook her head and expressed her opinion, she glanced at Trea Kukukl, then looked around at everyone, and finally landed on Natsu's body, and suggested: "Miss Xia, as you said, the place where the forest clan lives is not too close to the location of our magic skyship, but it is also not too far! I believe that the sound of our magic airship crashing yesterday is not small, and it is very likely that they will be detected by them, perhaps, they will come here sooner or later to investigate, in case they find our traces at that time, it will definitely be a fierce battle!"
"Well, I agree. ”
Regarding the words of the deputy head of the mercenary group, Xia also had the same opinion, and nodded in agreement: "Continuing to stay in place, it is difficult to resist just one point, even if we successfully resist their attack, it is estimated that our side will pay a lot of casualties, the cost is too great, we can't do this, so it is indeed a good choice to move safely away from the other party as much as possible!"
As he spoke, Xia looked at a certain Captain Rip and asked him, "Captain Rip, what is your opinion?"
After all, the other party is also the real captain of this magic skyboat, and most of the rest of the people are his crew and passengers, so it is reasonable for her to ignore the other party's opinion too much.
"Since you've all said so, then transfer ......"
However, before Captain Rip's words were finished, he was interrupted by someone who hurriedly spoke, Xia Wensheng turned his head to look, this person was the ship doctor named Jerry, his expression seemed to be a little anxious: "No, Captain Rip, we can't evacuate!"
"Can't evacuate? Why?"
Captain Rip looked at his accompanying doctor with some puzzlement, frowned, and asked him in a deep voice.
Doesn't this guy know how critical the situation just discussed is?
"Have you forgotten? Captain Rip! We now have nine seriously injured patients, and more than a dozen lightly injured wounded, and they need a suitable environment to recuperate, only the cabin of the well-enclosed magic skyship is suitable for them! You know, there are all those terrible and humid conditions outside, and if we rush to evacuate, the only outcome they will face is that the wounds on their bodies will unfortunately deteriorate, and the whole person will have a fever, leaving them in a coma, and finally they will only die in painful torment!"
The ship doctor named Jerry was excitedly expressing his objections, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder, causing the unknown crew and passengers not far away to look at this side a little strangely, their eyes were puzzled, seeing this, the Jerry ship doctor finally had to lower his voice, but his tone was still excited: "Please seriously consider the situation of those patients, Captain Rip!"
"This ......"
Listening to the serious consequences of what Jerry ship doctor said, a certain Captain Rip was also in a dilemma, after all, most of the people here are sick with injuries, or even seriously ill, if there is really the kind of situation that this ship doctor said, then it is estimated that by the time the rescuers arrive, the number of people will be reduced by half, he can't bear this result, he can't help but hesitate: "Well, that, maybe those forest people won't find us, right?" After all, so much time had passed, and if they had heard the crash of our magic skyship, they would have followed the sound to investigate...... Ah, damn it!"
In the end, the captain still burst out with a curse.
You know, this is just a lucky situation, and if they don't move, if the trail is discovered by the forest people, it will be a disastrous outcome for them as well!
What can I do?
After thinking about it, Captain Rip couldn't help but look in Natsu's direction, looking at her with a pleading gaze, as if he wanted to get some advice from her.
The captain knew that Xia and her two escort mercenaries were the greatest protection force for his group, and in this dangerous Shidar Forest area, only these three people were the greatest guarantee of everyone's safety, and without their protection, even some ordinary beasts would be enough for them to eat a pot.
"Hmm......"
In the face of Captain Rip's request for help, Xia also groaned a little, constantly analyzing all this information in her mind, and finally, after some careful consideration, she resolutely made a decision to carry the future fate of everyone, and said in a loud voice: "My suggestion is to evacuate!"
"But ......"
At this time, the Jerry ship doctor seemed to understand that the girl in front of him was the final decision-maker among everyone, but he really couldn't accept the consequences of this decision on those patients.
"With a suitable environment for recuperation, we can continue to find a way to solve it, but if it is discovered by those forest clan guys, it will be difficult for us to resist it!"
Xia glanced at the ship doctor and said in a calm tone, but the reason was difficult for anyone to refute. Then, she turned her head to look at the overturned Skyship, and instructed one of Captain Rip, "Captain Rip, please ask your crew to remove the planks from the Skyship as much as possible, and perhaps, we can rebuild a suitable place where the wounded can be housed." ”
"Okay, I'll go get ready!"
Hearing this, a certain Captain Rip was also excited, so naturally he would not refuse, he turned around and ran away, and began to prepare what Xia said.
"Miss Anjka, you can come with me later, explore here and there, and see if you can find a suitable place to transfer. ”
Xia continued as he spoke, pointing with his right hand in the direction of the two places where the Forest Clan lived farther away from this place, his tone calm and calm.
"Okay, Miss Xia!"
In this regard, Mary Anjka, the deputy head of the mercenary group, just nodded and said that there was no objection.
"What about me, what am I going to do?"
Trea Kukukel also spoke, it stands to reason that his duty is to guard Xia's surroundings and protect her safety, but listening to Xia's tone, it seems that he doesn't plan to take him with him, this mercenary can't help but be a little anxious.
"Treya, you stay on the side of the Demon Sky Ship, and together with Captain Rip and the crew, keep an eye on the safety of this place at all times, and if there is any danger, remember to send a signal to notify us to rush back immediately!"
Xia looked at the mercenary man and said in a serious tone, his expression was very serious.
"Okay, no problem!"
Trea Kukukel knew that this was because she was worried that she would be discovered by the forest clan during her exploration, so she reminded herself in righteous words, and he couldn't help but nod seriously, indicating that he understood: "Please rest assured, Miss Xia, I know what to do!"
"Doctor Jerry, you can go and help Captain Rip and them, remove the planks of the Demon Sky Boat as soon as possible, the more the better, the sooner the better, and during this time, you can think about how to use these dismantled planks to build a suitable environment for recuperation as much as possible, if you encounter any difficulties, come to me!"
Finally, Xia looked at the somewhat worried Jerry Ship Doctor and said to him, "Don't worry, Miss Anjica and I will find a suitable transfer location as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, Miss Xia, this situation is ...... now That's all there is to it. ”
Hearing Xia's words, the Jerry Ship Doctor could only nod, after all, he hadn't heard those words just now, and naturally understood that it was not a good choice to continue to stay where he was, it would be very dangerous.
"Doctor Jerry, I... I'm here to help!"
The two-ponytailed girl Claire Pandams, who had not spoken since just now, also spoke, and she decided to think with the ship doctor about how to solve the problem of the placement of the wounded, and perhaps, with the help of this two-ponytail girl who can solve the problem of air humidity, how to build a suitable place will be easier.
You know, this guy claims to be a traveler, and for her, things like setting up camps in the wild should be something she often encounters, so she will naturally be very familiar with all this and have a lot of experience!
With Xia's series of arrangements, soon, everyone was busy and began to prepare for the transfer and evacuation. (To be continued.) )
