Act 202 Demonic Plague IV
Tristram, deep in town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Passing through the outer three defensive streets, the team of pros arrives at the shelter in the center of the town, where the power of the protective barrier is located.
Inside the gray-yellow stone brick building, many people gathered here, and opposite the professionals, the samurai wrapped in rudimentary armor breathed a sigh of relief, and their soldiers slowly walked out of the procession and solemnly saluted the saviors.
"Thank you for your help, we can't repay it."
When this person mentioned the word "no retribution", everyone's faces flashed with deep pain.
"Driving away demons is the mission of our professions."
Amber shook her head, "Actually, we weren't able to completely defeat the demons, they're very strong. ”
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of Tristram became nervous again: "Then what should I do, have you been staying here?" Do you have any reinforcements? ”
There will come a time when the power of the protective barrier will be exhausted, and the feeling of despair rises in these soldiers when they hear that even the professional hero in front of them is no match for those monsters.
The ferocity of monsters and demons they had already understood in the previous battle, the friendly troops were eaten alive, blood was spilled, stumps and gunsmoke were everywhere, even the army of monks collapsed in front of those monsters, it was a terrible sight like the end of the world.
"There's really nothing we can do against those horrible creatures, Lord Hero."
The soldier commander maintained a stiff look on his face, and his tone was full of anxiety, "You are our only hope... If there are any orders, we will do our best to complete them." ”
"Don't panic, there will always be a way."
The mood of these soldiers was not difficult to understand, Amber waved his hand, his eyes calm and reassuring, "We don't have to completely defeat the demons and monsters, we just need to find a way to escape from here." ”
At the same time, she kept exchanging glances with her companions behind her.
The mission of the Camp Rog Pros is to rescue Cadi Kane of Tristram, not all the survivors in Tristram. In fact, the professionals did not anticipate this situation, and for various reasons, they would come to the aid of these ordinary civilians and soldiers.
But this must be on the premise of completing the task.
In addition, professionals need to gain the trust of these ordinary people, which will make their actions easier and the success rate of protecting Cady Kane will be greatly increased.
After appeasing these people, Zhu Lan and several professionals came over.
"How's it going, is there any news of Cady Kane?"
Amber looked at them and her face grimaced.
"The name Cady Kane is not well-known, and I suspect that the old man changed his name to avoid some trouble."
Zhu Lan shook his head slightly, his expression a little solemn, "I have come into contact with the leader of Tristram, some very ordinary nobles, pedantic and greedy for life and death, they proposed that we protect them from Tristram in exchange for giving us what we want, but in reality, they have nothing. ”
"Tristram's Monk Brigade has been ostracized by these nobles, although it is only a part, and it is precisely because of this that Tristram was broken so quickly."
Amber frowned when she heard this, "The nobles of Tristram are like this? Then they should have perished..."
Zhu Lan paused, and then explained: "There are also many nobles who died in the previous battles... Tristram's arrangement system is different from ours, and a small number of soldiers are elite bloodlines who have learned swordsmanship, and these people are the pillars of Tristram. ”
"Sadly, however, there were many casualties in this catastrophic raid."
Amber's eyes flickered.
"Let's sort out our current thinking."
The first thing to do is to find the whereabouts of Cady Kane, and although it is certain that the old man is hiding in the town, he will not be found for a while.
Tristram has a lot of buildings, and the demon attack has left nearly 30% of the outlying towns out. The collapse of the garrison system such as soldiers and monks, as well as the selfishness of the nobles, prevented the remaining 70% of the survivors from gathering in the first place.
There are many reasons here, such as the fact that commoners do not trust the nobles, or that they are trying to escape on their own.
In this case, it would be extremely difficult to find Kadi Kane's whereabouts, and with the demons still on the outside, the pros can't put all their efforts on finding him.
Amber's idea was to appease the high-ranking and nobles, to get information from them, and to observe the movements of the demons.
She then turned her attention to other messages, and with her quick and effective reading skills, she gained a lot of useful information.
The composition of Tristram is interesting, the people here believe in a similar way to the monks, pursue the balanced path of nature, and adhere to the divine in their hearts, and have a strong will. This also determines that more than half of the people are from Canduras, and only natives can understand this value.
But as one of the most important towns in the birthplace of the monastery, Tristram was highly valued by the Canduran royal family, and in the eyes of those who wielded royal power, it was a perfect cornerstone for rallying the forces of faith development. Therefore, with Tristram as the center, many chains of interests have been built. Trade with neighbouring countries is a good example, with low taxes, rich information, and a key location in Canduras that is frequented by traveling merchants and adventurers.
It is even the starting point for the legend of the "Cathedral Treasure" and has attracted all kinds of people as a result.
Even the tall snowmen in the far reaches of the pole have come all the way, and they have the blood of barbarians on their bodies.
Interesting events such as "Demon Seal" and "Angelic Disaster", which only appear in ancient books, revolve around Tristram.
Legend has it that the guardians of Hradim finally disappeared here, in order to protect the legendary demon from escaping the seal of the cathedral, and to prevent the world from falling into disaster again.
But over time, many people have overlooked these.
There are many things that the average person has to consider, such as daily price changes, business dealings, which goods are worth investing in, the latest tax news, and so on.
If it weren't for the sudden arrival of a tidal wave of demons that trampled everything into fire and ashes, Tristram would have ushered in a fifty-year expansion and successfully connected with the second largest trade route in Canduras, completely breaking away from the inherent shadow of the ancient monastery and developing towards a new developed city.
Is this prosperity ruined by slackness, or is it ruined by fate?
Perhaps it is precisely because of the geographical location and various superior conditions that the shadow of the demon will be the first to shroud here.
