Paying tribute to the fallen Templars, Ao Xingfeng wandered around the island. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Holy Envoy Lord!" Marin found Ao Xingfeng who was wandering around the island.
"What's the matter, Marin, why are you panting?" Ao Xingfeng was still holding a freshly picked wild fruit in his hand.
"Look. With that, Marin handed a letter to Ao Xingfeng, who opened the letter suspiciously, saying that a Templar army that had come to support had encountered an army of undead that they had never seen before, and that although the Templars were victorious in the end, the price paid was heavy.
"How can this be?" Ao Xingfeng said to himself, looking down at the letter.
The oasis in the middle of the lake was like an isolated place, and they had no way of knowing what was going on outside, not knowing how the undead had grown to such a point, and not knowing what happened to the other Templars.
October 1, 265.
It had been many days since the last reply from the Templar reinforcements, but nothing had been heard from since.
Ao Xingfeng gathered all the Templars on the island and started a heated discussion in the stone fortress hall, Ao Xingfeng thought that he could not continue to stay here, this place was really too closed, so many days had passed, except for the monster accident, everything was so calm and harmonious, but they did not know anything about what was happening in the outside world now, and there was no news of Templar reinforcements.
"Holy Envoy, I think we should continue to wait here, no matter what, the oasis in the lake is definitely safer than the outside. Marin said.
Ao Xingfeng shook his head: "There is no point in continuing to stay here, we are now out of all outside news, and this situation is very dangerous." ”
"In that case, we might as well send some people outside to gather information, but you can't leave here, Lord Holy Envoy. Tarot said.
"No, we don't know what the outside world is like now, it's too dangerous for a few people to move, you must know that half of the Knights Templar have come to support, but now they have no news, we must act in large forces. Ao Xingfeng said.
"Does the Holy Envoy think they've failed?If even the Templars are defeated, is there still a force on this continent that can stop the undead?Before receiving the next letter, I suggest we wait, there are plenty of resources here to sustain us anyway. Tarot said.
"I don't think they've failed, but they must have encountered something, so they haven't heard a reply yet, and they haven't arrived, maybe they're entangled in something and can't get out," Ao Xingfeng said.
"Shall we wait until they get out, then?" why would the Holy Envoy risk his life?" Marin asked.
"It seems that everyone's minds have been swallowed up by this small island, if we don't actively understand the outside world, but blindly wait for reinforcements, then we have no way of knowing everything that is happening in the outside world, what if the pagan cult organizes a huge attack?
"This.." Marin was speechless, living a life of isolation on this island, and if the heretics knew that the Holy Envoy was here, they would indeed organize an attack, and they would not be able to understand all the plots against the Holy Envoy until the heretics appeared.
"Reinforcements must be held back by something, and it's important to know what's holding them back, and even in the worst-case scenario, we have to know how many of them are left. Ao Xingfeng straightened the knife on his waist and said.
"Alas, you are right, Lord Envoy, I don't think it's necessary to stay here any longer. Duolun sighed, supporting Ao Xingfeng's opinion.
"And what about the rest of you?" said Ao Xingfeng, looking around at the Templars.
"Holy Envoy, I support you"
"I also support the proposal of the Holy Envoy."
"We will do whatever the Holy Envoy says"
The other Templars spoke in unison, expressing support for Ao Xingfeng's proposal.
"Thank you, in that case, let's prepare in advance, deliver the resources to the battleship today, and set off tomorrow morning!" As Ao Xingfeng's words ended, the Templars disbanded one after another, carrying all kinds of necessities under the command of Tarot, and dragged large and small boxes towards the docks.
This time it was the Oasis in the middle of the lake that all the people attacked, and they needed to prepare more supplies, knowing that the Templars composed of three hundred and fifty people consumed a lot of food, even if they went to the nearest ruins of Pompeii, it would take almost three days, and this was still under the premise of not encountering the undead. Otherwise, it will drag on even longer.
The team of three hundred and fifty people plus supplies is also a very large team, and the group must first reach the steppe of eastern Roman, before they can go northwest, because if you start directly from the oasis in the lake to the northwest, then you must first pass through a vast desert, although the weather in other places has begun to cool, but the desert is a ghost place that will not change all year round, and it can roast people to death during the day and freeze people to death at night.
There are a lot of materials needed, and they can't be loaded on the ship all at once, so Ao Xingfeng ordered the people to temporarily place the materials that could not be loaded on the battleship at the dock, including fresh water, food, supplies needed for maintaining weapons and armor, horses, carriages, forage, etc., and sent people to guard the supplies here, and everyone set off the next morning.
In the busy, time flies.
The next day, in the morning.
The Templars in the Stone Fortress rushed to the docks with all the supplies they could carry.
"Deliver supplies first, horses last," Ao Xingfeng ordered.
A battleship, laden with supplies, rowed towards the opposite shore. Ao Xingfeng stayed in the captain's room throughout the whole process and was responsible for dealing with various emergencies.
But where are there so many accidents, in such an almost isolated place, the dangerous accident has been reduced to the lowest point, except for that monster accident, it has been very peaceful until now.
The delivery of supplies was slow, because there was no dock here, and the battleship could not be too close to the shore to avoid running aground, so it was very troublesome to transport the supplies to the small boats in batches and put them on the shore.
In this way, back and forth, from early morning until noon, the task was finally completed.
"Holy Envoy, what about the battleship?" Tarot asked.
"Paddle back and come by boat. Ao Xingfeng said, and after saying that, Ao Xingfeng and Tarot and several other Templars rowed their warships towards the oasis pier in the lake.
Others began to assemble the wagons, then carried the supplies to the wagons, and took some sun protection measures to prevent people from suffering from heat stroke and dizziness in the scorching sun.
The battleship arrived, and Ao Xingfeng and the others transferred to a small boat and returned here. When everything was ready, everyone looked at the oasis in the lake on the other side with reluctance, which was really a fairyland on earth, with no hunger, no fear and no worries.
"Burn the boat, don't leave the bandits a chance. Ao Xingfeng ordered.
"What should we do when we come back?" asked Tarot from the side.
"When we get back, it won't be a problem. Hahaha" Ao Xingfeng said with a smile, and what kind of test awaits them on the journey?
