"Ah, I'm so exhausted."
At dawn on March 25, Year 796 of the New Calendar of the Free World, Duan Qing, who once again welcomed the dawn, also saw the figure of Chaori Dongsheng dragging his feet back to the camp. His body was covered with scars and stained with various kinds of blood.
At this time, he completely ignored his own embarrassment. He threw away the knife and lay down on the grass: "Leave me something to eat, and then you don't have to worry about me."
"At least drink some water first." The person who answered him was Duan Qing, who had been sitting here for some time. His stirring of the alchemy crucible did not stop at all: "How do you feel?"
"I don't want to recall such a scene in my life." He waved his hands feebly, and the figure of Chao Ri Dongsheng, who was once again pointing to the sky, showed a bit of lifelessness at this time.
He is also a war-mad man, and he has seen quite a few killing scenes in the virtual world, but it was a battle with such tragic casualties that made me fight among those beasts all night..."
"Why, there are so many casualties on the Hulun tribe's side?" Duan Qing, who stared at him for a moment, raised his eyebrows twice: "I thought their cavalry was invincible and invincible."
"The Hulun people's cavalry are indeed very powerful."
As if mentioning what he had been paying attention to, Asahi Dongsheng tilted his head with a heavy expression: "Including the archers, ballistae, and the ordinary warriors who have been participating in the battle, each one is at least full of skills.
Level 60 or above, but in such a meat grinder battlefield, they are just consumables used to fill the battlefield."
"Faced with a beast tide of that magnitude, no commander or leader dares to say that they can keep the number of casualties down." The one-armed player's eyes became straight as he stared at the bright sky, and his tone became lighter.
Get up: "Hyenas, wolves, and then foxes, lions, demon leopards, giant elephants, orangutans, mice, flying insects, demonic creatures, and all kinds of strange species that look very different... As long as you go in and hang out for a night, you can experience my mood at this time.
.”
"I won't go. If I go and hang out for a night, I will probably hang up right back." Duan Qing replied without moving: "But you once again impressed me, you actually came back alive."
"I'm not that powerful, it's just that the Hulun people took care of me as a 'weak' person." Zhaori Dongsheng also said without moving: "They tried their best to take care of my left side, because my one arm caused me to
The attack and defense on this side are slower than others, and these people did teach me a lot in the battle, including the identification of battle formations, how to maintain a balance between offense and defense, and the ability to fight with one hand with a knife.
Techniques, how to coordinate their advance and retreat..."
"That's why I allow you to join their team." The action of stirring the alchemy crucible in his hand stopped for a moment, and Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "With your ability to mix in three religions and nine streams, you can definitely participate in this war.
If you grow up, even if you die, at least you can replace your broken arm."
"Traversing death? I don't know how." He snorted with disdain. Asahi Dongsheng tilted his head and replied: "I will never die even once. I also think the title of one-armed warrior is very handsome. Wait until I sleep.
Last night, there was another good man!"
"So the end of the battle is temporary?" Duan Qing finally looked up at the gunpowder smoke in the distance that had not completely dissipated and the Hulun tribe's team that was still staggering back at dawn following the breeze on the grassland.
He continued to ask in a low voice: "The beast tide has just faded temporarily, right?"
"Of course, there are countless beasts, and they are each in an orderly manner, attacking in turns. How can you believe that we can really repel them?" Asahi Dongsheng replied matter-of-factly: "Those beasts
None of the leaders died, even the Behemoth that was knocked to the ground by the ballista—er, no, by the beast gun at the beginning—even escaped back alive."
"...It seems that what Hu Mobei said at the beginning was true." A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing sighed unconsciously: "Being able to block tonight's attack is already our victory.
"
"Those leaders are more powerful than the last, at least they are all BOSS-level figures." Putting away his slightly excited voice, Asahi Dongsheng also commented calmly: "Although they are protected by their little soldiers from the beast tribe,
But their abilities and intelligence are obviously higher than other enemies. Even with the help of the Hulun tribe's battle array and various weapons and tools, it is very difficult to really kill one of them."
"I know, because I have experienced it more or less." Lowering his head again, Duan Qing then returned his attention to the alchemy in front of him: "If it weren't for Hu Mobei later
I sent him away, maybe I can get in touch with a few more bosses."
"The weakling Hu Mobei didn't die?" Asahi Dongsheng showed a surprised look: "I thought that guy had been stabbed to death by the flying insect group's needle a long time ago. The southern part of the Libei Army
Most of the front line died because of them—wait a minute.”
"You just came back like this?" As if he had just noticed the hidden information in the other party's voice, the one-armed warrior suddenly turned over and asked: "Where did you agree to get the information?"
"Of course I have the information, because I have seen some weird things." Duan Qing replied with an unmoved expression: "Although I still don't know what the shield that comes from nowhere actually represents,
But their power is indeed very powerful, even the full blow of the leader of the Wind Demon Wolf and the hasty response cannot be penetrated."
"That guy probably gave me an expulsion order because he didn't want outsiders to see this scene." Having said this, the gray-robed magician sighed again: "Really, I look like that unknown person.
Are you a reasonable person? It doesn’t matter if you let me stay by and watch for a while—"
"Hey, in the end, I still have to rely on myself to collect intelligence?" So Asahi Dongsheng lay back down again with a look of displeasure on his face: "I won't be implicated because of you, right?"
"have no idea."
Duan Qing, who started other movements with his hands and stared at the surface of the crucible in front of him, subconsciously replied: "And the guy didn't make it clear. We can try again at night. Anyway, the beast tide won't be like this."
Let's give it up, they will definitely come back at night, right?"
"Maybe we won't wait until night, they will attack soon." Asahi Dongsheng replied breathlessly: "With this level of attack, our front will collapse after at most three more rounds - is it possible that the attack will collapse?
Doesn’t the Lun tribe have any other ways? Or is there any other way on our side?”
"I don't know if the Hulun people have any back-up moves or trump cards, but I've been working hard." Duan Qing shook his head slightly, and Duan Qing's face started to tremble because of the constant flashing and rising of the liquid in the crucible.
Ming Mie: "According to the plan we discussed before, Ling Bing went to other places to collect clues and materials for a night. Although the blue blood grass, Cecilia flowers and so on were not completely collected, they can be counted now.
Almost collected."
"Don't look at me with that look. You must have paid a lot of money to buy it." Seemingly noticing Chao Ri Dongsheng's face looking back, the gray-robed magician continued in a helpless tone: "Since there is no time
If we go out to look for it, we can only exchange it with money. This was only obtained by using Gedman's long-term reputation among various forces to convince the Chamber of Commerce and the Hulun people to grant us permission."
"What about...things?"
"In the pot in front of me."
Pointing to the crucible in front of him, Duan Qing answered the other party's question as a matter of course: "That old man Elder told me the blending method a long time ago, but there are still a few ingredients missing, so I want to try to find if I can
Come up with other alternatives——"
"Hey, you are wasting our precious mission reward." He interrupted Duan Qing's words, and Asahi Dongsheng asked in disbelief: "How many materials are there in total? Is it enough for you to squander it so much?
"
"Don't worry, I have gained a lot of experience in the reaction of elements in the alchemy process in the past period." Duan Qing casually waved his hand in the direction of the other party: "As long as you can control the degree of reaction and suppress the time of reaction,
There is no problem in keeping the existing semi-finished products.”
"Now that we have talked about it, what's the use of doing this task?" Putting away his thoughts of continuing to preach, Chao Ri Dongsheng also took his eyes away from Duan Qing: "Is it possible that Su
Can the current situation be reversed by rescuing Ertu? Don’t sacrifice the good for the sake of the bad.”
"I'm not going to say that this side is more important than the other side, but I'm just sticking to the path I've always insisted on." After saying this inexplicable answer, Duan Qing continued the work in front of him without raising his head: "Anyway
There is nothing to do here in the tent, wouldn't it be nice to explore another possibility? War and force can solve problems, but completing the task may not solve the problem."
"Leave aside the special existence of Humobei, the entire Hulun tribe is much more powerful than the entire Su tribe." As if he had found a suitable and interesting topic, Chaori Dongsheng, who originally looked tired and painful,
Yigulu sat up from the ground: "The warriors of the Northern Army and the generals commanding them are all more powerful than Surtu. I don't understand the hope of your so-called solution. Dragging them to the battlefield is almost like sending them to death.
"
"I want to save Surtu not to drag them to the battlefield, but to solve the mystery." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Maybe you don't think there is any truth behind the Surtu incident.
meaning, but this is the intersection of clues that I have investigated along the way. Opening up this point may also bring unexpected effects. "
"I still don't believe this kind of thing of yours." After looking at the gray-robed magician for a long time, Chao Ri Dongsheng finally turned over and lay down again: "I experienced a night of beast tides and survived.
People here, I don’t think the threads we have can bring us any benefit in making a comeback.”
"This is the gap between you and me." He said this with a smile, and bubbles began to appear on the surface of the crucible that Duan Qing was still looking at: "Learn from it, as an elder's intuition, but
It’s not something young people like you can learn casually.”
"Humph, I have to admit that I am old." Asahi Dongsheng turned his back and posed as if sleeping on the floor, and his disdainful voice sounded muffled: "Don't resist the title of 'uncle' easily in the future.
Uncle."
"I'm referring to game time and virtual world experience time, not actual age." He carefully lifted the bubbling crucible, and Duan Qing replied with a look of laughter and tears on his face: "Forget it, you do not know what is good and what is good."
, Anyway, the division of labor between us is quite clear, you just have to complete your tasks."
"As long as you believe in me, I will believe in you."
After saying these incomprehensible words, the gray-robed magician then walked towards the direction where the Libei Army was retracting without looking back: "Before that -"
"The task of guarding Nasia will be left to you."
*********************************
"Boy, why are you here?"
Some time later, within the Hulun tribe, an old man's impatient voice suddenly sounded from beneath the creaking windmill: "The beast herd attack last night didn't kill you?"
"Are you just expecting me to die?" Duan Qing's strange cry answered him: "I still wanted to die on the frontline battlefield, but in the end I was driven back by the elders of your clan... What do you mean?
How do you know about the beast tide?"
"Everyone in this ethnic group knows something, why don't I know it?" The sound of closing the door then sounded, and the old man's voice became much duller: "That is, you foreigners are still punishing this God.
I don’t know anything, and I’m still wandering around outside at this time.”
"You even hide this kind of thing from us, are you still not human?" The answer was Duan Qing's even more helpless cry and a muffled sound on the table: "Thankfully we are still trying to find ways to give you some things we can."
Help—here, what you want."
"What do I want? What is this?" Elder pretended to smell it at the table: "This is... blue blood grass and... these are the materials I specified? What I want is the original product! You
How did you boil them?"
"Sorry, because I didn't collect all the materials." Duan Qing nodded his head and replied helplessly: "In order to save time, by the way, our female president will have to worry about the excessive expenses.
There were fewer black lines, so I took it upon myself to do them all.”
"Of course, I used my little bit of alchemy knowledge." An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the gray-robed magician pushed forward with his hands: "I made all the substitutes myself.
Yes, the effect should be pretty good, you can check it out."
"...Okay." After looking at each other for a while, the old man finally took the crucible: "You and he are our own people anyway."
"You have to bear the consequences."
