Act Eleven: The Will of the Parties(1/2)
Act 11 The will of both parties ()
The light in the temporarily occupied hall flickers on and off, the candlelight is deliberately reduced, and the dim light drags deep scratches on the texture of the wood.
It was quiet in the remote corner, and there was a sense of serenity in the air.
Everyone here is not very used to the bright fire, but as long as the middle-aged man with a pale face and an eyepatch at the top did not speak, everyone else did not dare to make any mistakes.
Sophie might be able to recognize this person here, because his appearance is almost unchanged from more than ten years later: this is the deputy of the 'Black Lord' Instaron, the vampire baron, the 'One-Eyed' Tagus.
He is a member of the Mannlein family, the fourteenth generation of vampires, and also a younger generation. However, compared to his seniority in the Madara Army, he is far more experienced than the boy-like Instar Dragon.
But it doesn’t matter, this is just the beginning of their cooperation——
Tagus watched the skeleton soldiers move out the information from the library one after another. After pausing for a while, he turned back and asked the corpse witch beside him: "Tell me, what is Roscoe's purpose of keeping you here to report?"
?”
"Dear General Tagus, my master found a scout in that manor." Corpse Witch lowered his head and replied in a dry voice.
"So?" He glanced at it, then returned his gaze to the spread out tactical map.
"He escaped."
There were several disdainful sneers from all around.
The vampire general raised his head and his small voice immediately subsided. He paused and then said: "I know, Roscoe did a good job. But I hope it will be better and let him not be involved in these trivial matters.
I'm distracted—I want to see him get to Belledore Forest before noon."
The corpse witch nodded respectfully and retreated.
But just as it left, discordant sounds came from the conference room. This time the speaker was a tall skeleton, its whole body covered with an old brass armor, and the dark yellow flames in its eye sockets flickered, revealing a kind of
Angrily:
"Lord Tagus, maybe humans have discovered our intention, that scout——"
It opened its mouth, but suddenly no sound came out of its leaking jaws. Because it saw Tagus staring at him with its only remaining eye, this gaze made it subconsciously shut up.
There was a low laugh from all around, and the sarcasm contained in it made the fire in his eyes flash in annoyance.
"Kabaisi."
"Yes!" the tall skeleton immediately replied with his chest raised.
"Go and capture this place." Tagus pointed to a village on the map.
"Before sunrise," he pointed to the roof again: "I want to see the result——"
"Yes, Lord Tagus."
"Wesa, Eberton."
"Yes!" replied in unison,
"You go and attack Webbin and blockade the Dagger River Beach."
"Yes, Lord Tagus."
"Crow's Mouth."
"exist!"
"I'll give you two teams to search and clear this area."
"yes!"
Tagus raised his head and glanced at everyone coldly: "You are all nobles in the dark. We want to see you execute every order of mine gracefully and quickly, meticulously. Ridenberg, this is our subordinate.
A goal.”
He took the lead and stood up, put his pale hand on his left shoulder, and said: "Madala will win——"
All the undead souls stood tall and responded in a deep voice: "Madala will win——"
Tagus lowered his head and looked back at the map again. He first saw the red pine forest south of Butchi, then moved up to Qingcun, Belledore Forest, and then to Ridenburg - continuing up to the Sharp Stone River Valley.
Human scout? He smiled coldly.
…
And at the same moment, when the full moon is reflected on the top of the pine forest.
There are no wolves howling in the mountains of Yusong, but the wind is blowing in the black pine forest. The cold wind passes through the branches of the trees like light smoke. It is so cold that one can't help but feel a slight chill in the vest. Butchi's youth
People had never spent the night outside, and the misty darkness in the forest always made them a little suspicious, as if there was a terrible monster under every shadow.
But a voice calmed their hearts——
"Hold this position."
"Yes, that's right."
"water--"
"Give me a bandage."
"Press well."
Finally finished, Sophie wiped her sweat and let out a long breath.
He felt relieved when he saw a light green +2 emerge from the young man's body.
After the first aid skill reaches primary level (level 0), the recovery effect of the bandage will naturally increase. There is no difference between this book and the game, but every place that is confirmed in Sophie's memory makes him feel more at ease.
How to clean wounds, prevent infection, stop bleeding, bandage and what details and techniques should be paid attention to. He guided Makimi and Nibeto to complete all of this step by step. Of course, he did not have the physical strength to do it himself, and he was only weak.
Only slightly better than Qiao Sen who was in a coma.
And when Nibetto completed the last step under his prompting, Sophie raised her head and found that everyone was staring at him in shock.
major.
They only have this comment in mind.
Even little Phoenix even turned around and said seriously to Freya behind her: "Sister, it seems that your technique is inferior in comparison -"
As for Freya, she stood beside the crowd with a face as pale as water.
Sure enough, he was looking for excuses to approach her before, he was a shameless person! She couldn't help but draw a conclusion in her heart. She looked at Roman with some worry, only to see the latter counting the things on the ground with a little pride on his face.
Trophies.
This damn girl.
But unfortunately, only Sophie himself knew that all of his knowledge came from the skill of 'Battlefield First Aid'. Only when he recalled the skill in the list, these knowledges were presented in his memory one by one. And in
In the memory of young people, most of the basic battlefield first aid knowledge comes from the first three sections of the book "Gerson's Holy Cross", which mainly talks about bandaging techniques. Sophie happens to know Gerson in the game, who is currently the high priest of Braggs.
.
The content in this book felt as if he had seen it personally, as if he had studied it hundreds of times. The feeling of ease was like using a plug-in to learn rescue techniques.
Unfortunately, there is a price to pay for using cheats——
On the other hand.
Sophie soon learned that there were actually ten members of Butch's third militia detachment, including Freya, followed by Makmi, Essen, Ike and Little Finnis, who were familiar with him.
Then there are Niberto and Vlad, who don't like to talk much. These two brothers are mountain people who migrated from the Bora area. They inherited the taciturn character of the locals and like to do things more than talk.
Then came Qiao Sen, but the latter was unconscious and had little chance of waking up.
Then there was the dreamy business lady and the girl with her. Sophie later found out that she was the daughter of the baker in the town, but she was a bit introverted and shy, not as generous as the other two ladies.
This girl's name is Bertha. She has a gentle temperament, but at least she is a good girl with a kind heart.
These are all the people Sophie needs to deal with. They all seem to be very good young people, but Sophie knows that these are just newcomers among a group of newcomers, and they have no idea what they will face next.
So he thought for a moment before asking: "What are your plans?"
The next moment, the smile on the individual's face disappeared, replaced by silence.
"Let's go to Lidenburg." After waiting for a while, Essen suggested.
"You're right, Captain Madden and the others will definitely go there." Ike agreed.
As expected, Sophie shook her head.
He raised his head and looked at these young people, and what he saw on their faces was silence and uneasiness and hesitation about tomorrow. Even though Freya looked slightly better, her knuckles were white when she clenched the hilt of the sword.
But it betrayed her true feelings.
Only Roman replied matter-of-factly: "I'm with Brando."
This answer made Sophie angry and funny. However, the straightforwardness of this business lady made people like it. The young man paused and said: "Okay, I agree with you on one thing - the most important thing for us at the moment is to get out of here.
.”
"That means there is some disagreement, right?" Freya asked.
Sophie nodded: "Does anyone have a map?"
Everyone looked at each other, who would have such a thing? Although they are militiamen, in most cases the militiamen follow the command of the local police. To put it bluntly, they are just a reserve force.
To be continued...
