Chapter 207: The Aftermath (I)
2000213913 Chapter 207 Continuing the War
In the underground prison, footsteps in puddles of water will make a clear splashing sound. Oil swaying
Make move.
The pedestrian retreat did not take much time. Five minutes later, the third line of defense was reached. This line of defense is the material warehouse of the original mining area, and there is even an iron gate.
The people who answered it inside turned on the oil lamp one by one, and the whole space immediately lit up.
Since there was a building and a strong fortification, the knight of Sangeber was very impressed.
The fungus passage is only 3 meters high and 2 meters wide, and there are only two small demons at most, which is narrower than the front, and with the high slope, this can be regarded as a good place.
Luo Meng sighed and said: "The third line of defense is the strongest and best, and the back four lines of defense are so-so, so they can only resist a little!"
The light of the lantern flickered in the space, and the storage room behind it was quite large, and hundreds of people were placed in it, and it was not noticeably narrow.
"Listen, everyone, while the shift change has not yet come, now start rearming, crossbow archers. The arrows are all set, and the seriously wounded can rest. Everyone else, do it as soon as possible, Fafer, the wound on your arm is not healed, so you don't need to help carry the wounded, help keep on guard!" Romon said as he swept through the crowd.
When they retreated to the third line of defense, most of the faces showed a tired look, and they fought for two days in a row, although there was a short rest in between, but most of the time, it was because their physical strength had not yet recovered, and they were about to devote themselves to another battle. Therefore, today's physical strength is seriously exhausted, and it is extremely necessary to rest and recover.
Judging from the current situation, although they are so tired that they can almost fall asleep when they lie down, everyone is still fighting their spirits before the arrival of the shift changers. Fortify it, after all, if there is no help. The demons are attacking again, and it will be very unlucky.
Romon looked at the exhausted crowd. He also took matters into his own hands, and Fafer was also involved, and after resting for a while, the temple warriors all came to the defense line on their own. Fearfully carrying out the task of defense.
Before the arrival of the successor, the temporary deployment of personnel, in more cases, is a helpless move, but it is very feasible in a short period of time. After all, doubling the personnel can give a more tired group of people a chance to recuperate and re-prepare for the next battle.
Although everyone was exhausted, there was nothing better for Romon than to redeploy the personnel. While in the morning, Sangeber and the Templars joined. Reinvigorated the team, but now, everyone is tired.
It was already about eight o'clock in the evening. Romon was sitting on a rock, his eyes looking out, Ran had rested, and of course he had to take on the task of guarding at this time.
"Romong, when will the people below arrive? If this continues, I'm afraid that the third line of defense won't last long. Fafer walked over. sat down beside him.
Because of Romong's special care, the injuries on Fafer's body are recovering very quickly, but Rao is so, and he has been injured several times. In today's battle, he can't continue to participate
Finish.
Before he could answer, there was a sudden commotion behind him.
Although Romon and Fafer were talking, the two of them immediately looked in the direction of the commotion.
"Nick?!" a figure suddenly appeared in the sight of the two men, thin and nervous, and ran over.
Behind him were hundreds of adventurers, all carrying fresh food and water. When Nick ran over, they had already distributed the food and water to everyone present in turn according to the order Nick had just issued.
Suddenly, the fresh milky aroma and the sweet smell of snacks spread in the air.
"Romon, Fafer, are you all right? I've brought someone over to support and change shifts. As soon as Nick saw his two best friends, he said.
"Nick, you guy, you finally know to come to comfort us!" Farfer smiled.
Nick got closer, and found that Fafer's face was a little pale and his hands were hanging a little weakly. Immediately nervously asked: "Fafer, are you injured? Where is it? Okay? Is it serious?"
"Oh, don't move, it's healing. Seeing that Nick had come over to look at it, Fafer immediately shouted in protest.
"If you don't let me take a look, how can I rest assured!" muttered Nick dissatisfied.
Looking at this, Romong's mood was rarely better, and he smiled and patted Nick: "Don't worry." Nick, he has a lot of injuries, but. It's not very serious, I've already treated him, and after today, the sores should be healed tomorrow. ”
"Look, I didn't lie to you. Fafer hurriedly said.
Only then did Nick let go of Fafer and turned to Romon instead: "Romong, you guys here are tired, I brought a large amount of food to comfort you this time, and I also brought a shift changer." Half of these are the reservists of the begging son, and half of them are the adventurers who stay in our village. The soldiers of Xiaoji led to a hundred battles, I had already completed the mission before I came, and they all took over the mission. Don't worry, I'll help you find a way for food, water, and people. Nick said to Romon very seriously.
"Well done!" Romon was sighing about the personnel problem, Nick, the internal affairs officer, had already come over with the replacement personnel, which had to make Romon sigh, having a good internal affairs officer in the territory was indeed a guarantee of victory.
Romon patted Nick on the shoulder again, and then began to make arrangements for the shift.
Just after looking at the people who came, Romon nodded secretly, Nick was right, these people who came this time looked good.
With Nick on his side, Romon quickly reorganized the group and placed them in various posts. The previous combatants were all replaced to rest.
Because of the arrival of reinforcements, the pressure on everyone's hearts suddenly decreased, and everyone was almost untenable.
"Don't sleep, follow me back to the village!" Nick shouted, and he saw that some people, after letting go of the pressure, were going to lie on the ground and sleep: "The village has already prepared hot water and healing potions. And food, quick, hurry down. ”
As for the corpses of the soldiers who have died until now, they have also been transported back by order of Romong, these people are all people with families and children, and they died. It's for the territory, it's for the protection of the homeland, so. In the name of heroes, Romon sent them back to the village. Temporarily parked, and when the war is over, they will be buried in a beautiful manner. As for the comfort work of the families of the deceased, it is also handled by Zuke, who will return soon.
Soon, the busyness was over, and it was late at night again.
In the first half of the night, Romon was on duty, and in the second half of the night, it was the turn of the Sangeber knight to take the temple warriors to the vigil, in fact, he only slept for one afternoon, Romon did not completely solve the fatigue, after handing over the shift, as soon as he lay down, he still slept very soundly. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I woke up from my sleep uneasily.
Perhaps it is implied that there is hostility and wariness towards the Church of the Lord of Radiance, so Luo Meng Yuan and Fa leave the safety of themselves and those around them to the people of the temple to be responsible.
On the underground passage, it was a little cold, and Luo Meng tightened his clothes before standing up and walking to the defense line.
The footsteps were very light, and Romon quietly swept his gaze from each adventurer one by one, and then arrived at the front line of the fortifications.
Under the dim oil lamp, five warriors were patrolling, each with their armor jingling
One of the grandest of them all, the Sangeber Paladin.
He was wearing heavy armor, which, after a day of fighting, was sturdy, and there were many signs of swords and spears, which showed the fierceness of the battle and the environment in which the man was fighting.
At this time, he stared at the depths of the mine with a serious face. Looking at him, it seemed that he had been like this since the second half of the night, and beside him, the four temple warriors were also looking at him vigilantly.
Because Romon had much sharper hearing than the average person, he didn't need to be close to them to hear them.
I heard a temple warrior persuading Sangerber: "My lord, you have been fighting for a day without rest, we are here, you can take a rest!"
Sangeber shook his head: "No, this is my task, there can be no mistakes, as a paladin, we must be worthy of our own title and the precepts of the gods!"
Luo Meng was shocked in his heart, no wonder the Lord of Radiance was still strong, this was already visible.
At this moment, the Sangeber knight turned his head sharply: "Who?"
Romon smiled slightly, stepped out, and nodded softly at the Sangerber knight.
"Oh, it's Lord Lord, why did you get up so early?" said Knight Sangerber, a little surprised.
"Knight Sangeber, I slept for a while yesterday afternoon, and now I am fully recovered. Romon replied in a serious tone. Looking down, there are a lot of demon and monster corpses in front of you.
The Knight Sangeber also looked at it slightly. With a look of appreciation and excitement in his eyes, he said, "I didn't expect so many demons to fall in this mining area."
Romon nodded and said, "Yes." Relying on the terrain, you continue to monitor, and I am ready to go down and reconnoitre. ”
"Your Excellency, this is too dangerous, isn't it?"
"It doesn't matter, the demon seems to have retreated to the gap to repair, I'll take a look and come back. Romon said, "Everyone is fighting, and I have to do everything I can." ”
In fact, Luo Meng is nostalgic for the countless demon corpses, although he has lost most of the effect, but it is still a good fertilizer!
Hearing this, the Sangeber knight looked at him with a blank look, stopped talking, and watched him sneak down.
