Chapter 1544: Another Accident
The overnight rescue was not as smooth as the first one. In the process, there are also those who are hungry and crazy, taking a few sharpened bamboo poles and clamoring to hijack the airship and dominate everything.
Or she was holding a child who didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and the woman who seemed to be her mother scolded her. The use of all kinds of vicious and embarrassing words, or kidnapping rhetoric that preempts the moral high ground, is to make the airship people pay an inexplicable price.
Not to mention that the number of marines who landed is more than that of the other side, and the combat power of the two sides is at the same level? Can you compare that? These people are trying to take control of an army against the enemy.
If it happens, everyone on the Twin Griffins can die. will be coerced by a few civilians, and he is not even qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Sure enough, in the face of such a person, Ezio jumped into the rear door of the airship without waiting for the airship to land, and with a vertical leap with the Marines. Leave behind a jaw-dropping living person.
In fact, Ezio is the only one who makes the leap accurately. Other lads from the Karlsruhe Empire, they have the skill of changing direction and exerting force in the air. Although it is not as flexible as flying, it is still possible to adjust the posture and direction.
As for those who have been left behind, no one will have sympathy. It is true that fallen people also have the value of being saved, but that is something that is only considered after all the good people have been saved, and when there is still room for them.
Don't say that time is not allowed, after saving the good guys, it may be too late to turn back and save these bastards. In fact, apart from time, the space of the airship does not allow.
With limited capacity and load, it may not even be able to carry all those good people who are worth saving, how can it be possible to waste time on a group of bastards. This is not to mention whether this kind of person will settle down or become a hidden danger after getting on the airship.
In the spirit of being responsible for the airship, Ezio did not hesitate to leave these people behind. And others didn't dare to say something too ugly on the surface, but they all secretly applauded in private.
However, no matter how fast the Twin Griffins were and how much time they saved to travel, they couldn't run too many places in one night to save enough people. Before the time limit, the people they rescued had not been able to fill all the spacecraft activities, and the large space in the rear cabin was full of people.
However, if you don't return, you won't be able to catch up with the official rescue operation. can only put the feeling of wanting to save people in the future action. But just as they were calculating the time to return to the line, another accident happened.
Back in the command room, Ezio had planned to take a good rest to cope with the big task ahead. Unexpectedly, guarding the radar table, the kid on duty in the middle of the night disturbed him who was in a daze.
"General, there seems to be someone down there. Do you want to go down? β
Ezio, who came back to his senses, did not directly refuse. If you can do it, it's not impossible. But he still said cautiously: "Let's take a look at the situation first, confirm that it is a person?" It seems that this location has not been recorded before. β
The radar operator adjusted the function of the Arcane Eye as he said, "Based on previous records, there really is no one here. Maybe it's from somewhere else, or maybe it's hiding in some special place. β
The Arcane Eye is not a panacea, and there are ways to shield it. So it's no surprise that some fish have slipped through the net.
Ezio, who was well aware of this magical flaw, was not surprised, but he still carefully confirmed, "Is there a picture of the ground?" β
"Here we are." After saying hello, the real scene of the ground has been presented on the map table.
In the picture, the night that has entered the second half of the night is inexplicably deeper. In the night mode of the Arcane Eye, there are several people on the ground struggling to make their way through the thick snow.
It looks like a family, big and small, male and female. The tallest man walked at the end of the line, staring at everyone and leaving no one behind.
But to say that this is a family, it also feels a little weird. Everyone who looked at the map table felt this way, but no one said it.
In the end, it was Ezio who made the decision, saying, "Let the Marines contact me, I won't go down this time." Catch someone along the way, and make up for the wasted time, right? The latter sentence is asking the captain who specifically commanded the Twins Griffin.
This baron, who came from a Kaveh-affiliated family, grasped some advance when arranging his plans. Although some time was wasted, it was easy to meet the large army before the time limit. So he didn't bother and nodded to Ezio.
"Then do it." In just four words, there are naturally adjutants who perform their own duties to convey Ezio's orders to those who should know.
He himself leaned back on a high stool next to the map table. Although there is no eye closure, it is also adjusting the breathing. Although fatigue is not easy to report, it is not difficult to reduce some of the discomfort and side effects of lack of concentration.
The others did not continue to bother Ezio. They all knew very well how much the commander had done that night.
Even if there is a short window period between every rescue. But it's hard to really rest well in such trivial time. Therefore, the others can only give the toiling commander a better resting environment.
However, it backfired. Ezio felt that he had only been in the fugue for less than two minutes when he heard the young man guarding the radar exclaiming, "Something is wrong!" The Marines were attacked! Someone has fallen, someone has fallen! β
Ezio suddenly got up from the high stool. Glancing at the ground on the map table, several Marines had indeed fallen to the ground, stained with red snow beneath them. He immediately rushed out, and at the same time said:
"Arm the rest of the Marines and drop my weapons by the way. The side hatches of the airship are unlocked. β
It is the right thing to let people go down to support, and unlock the side hatch because it is faster to go down from that side. It took too much time to walk the airship interior passage to the aft cabin.
In a few moments, all the Marines jumped out of the twin griffins and sprinted towards the ground. The lamp-type magic props brought by the first team are the best guiding lights. It's impossible to run in the wrong direction.
But in such a short time, the advance troops had all fallen to the ground. When Ezio and the others landed, it was confirmed that there was only one real enemy. The other women, the youngest, and the older ones are just bait.
These baits were also so frightened that they couldn't stand on their legs after witnessing the battle with their own eyes. They could only hold each other and tremble. It appears that coercion is more likely than complicity.
The man who fell to the ground appeared to be seriously injured, but there was still a chance to save him. The man who did it did not leave, as if he was deliberately waiting for the support team to arrive, ready to continue to pack up people.
Ezio and the others, who landed on the ground, did not go directly to save people, because the positions of the injured were all within the enemy's attack range. If you rush in, you may become a target.
The crowd drew their melee weapons and dispersed to form a network of encirclements that surrounded the enemy in front of them. At the same time, they also relied on the faint light to examine this unexpectedly strong enemy.
The opponent is a strong orc, taller and more powerful than a normal human, but not to the point of obesity. You must know that there are many 'Roshan' level existences among the strong orcs, and their strength is terrifying. But such people are much inferior in speed and agility.
A thick cloak is used to shelter from the wind and snow. The armor worn inside is very orc-like, that is, large pieces of iron are strung together to cover the vital points. If one piece is not thick enough, then stack several more pieces.
The weapons used were two large wood knives with curved blades and thick backs, which were arm-long. There are many notches and curls on the blade, but no one doubts whether the lethality of the firewood knife that is still stained with blood is enough to hurt people.
The most striking feature is that there is a crack in the left cheek from the corner of his mouth, which makes him look like he is sneering.
As for his facial features, Ezio didn't think he would appreciate the beauty of an orc. However, the terrifying appearance of the person in front of him reminded him of a person. So he asked, "Are you ...... Half? β
"Ezio Augustus." The strong orc raised the wood knife in his right hand, pointed at the person who had just asked the question, and said, "William is the only apprentice he admits, right?" β
"Looks like you're right. William says that if anyone can take the title of 'Juggernaut' from him, it must be you. β
The white sword saint William Greco, one of the martial arts instructors named in the elementary school. Basically, when he is in the holy city of Estari and is in the mood, he will call the person who asks for advice. It is a senior teacher who can be met but not sought.
But Ezio is different. It's not that he relied on his background to be close to a certain magician and the old black dragon that he won William's favor. It's just that this kid is not afraid of life, he dares to pester people, and he does have his talent.
William's teaching is completely god-like teaching. There are no tricks to dismantle, and there is no emphasis on any power skills, everything depends on feelings. It is such a person who can directly realize the twisting trick of Tai Chi after seeing the MΓΆbius ring given by someone, which is a completely unreasonable scenario in someone's eyes.
It is also because this kind of understanding and teaching is so strange that no one can understand what William is teaching. Being able to understand a little bit of fur is definitely beneficial. Ezio was the only one who not only understood William's teachings, but was even able to reproduce them.
It's like Kaya, who doesn't like to talk much, and the Marquis of Balan, who is afraid of life, and the two become best friends, and they can only be blamed on the alignment of the radio waves, and this is how it happened. The same is true of Willian and Ezio.
And because of what William taught, Ezio did learn. Therefore, the White Juggernaut did not deny that Ezio was his apprentice, and even cited him as a confidant.
Yes, this buddy's thinking is so bizarre. Unlike others, who teach apprentices and try their best to pit or exploit them, William and Ezio have become year-old friends across ages and talk about everything.
In the past, although William was quite talkative, he would only talk about the customs and customs he saw, and there would never be anything of his own. It's as if you're going to be very shy about it.
But Ezio was able to learn a lot about the Juggernaut from William. Neither Lin nor the Demon Prince Azad, nor even William's many of his best friends could know about it. You can see how precious it is.
It was through these personal experiences of the White Juggernaut that Ezio learned of a very special orc that William had encountered during his travels to the underworld. A half-orc powerhouse who is very similar to him and has a chance to take his place as a sword master.
