Chapter 217: Continuing the War (Part 1)
In the underground tunnel, when stepping on the puddle, you will make a clear splash of water, and the fire of the oil lamp is swaying.
The group retreated without much time. Five minutes later, they arrived at the third line of defense, which was the original material warehouse in the mining area, and even had an iron gate.
The person who was receiving the support inside put on the oil lamp one by one, and the entire space immediately lit up.
Since there was originally a building, it was a solid fortification after sorting out, and the Knight Sangerber was very impressed.
The corridor is only 3 meters high and 2 meters wide. At most, there are only two little demons moving forward, which is narrower than before. In addition to the high slope, it can be regarded as a good place here.
Romon sighed and said, "The third line of defense is the most solid and the best. The four lines of defense behind are just careless, so I can only resist a little!"
The light of the lantern flashed in the space, and the storage room behind it was quite large, and hundreds of people put it inside, without any narrowness.
"Listen, while the shift change has not arrived yet, start re-arrangement now. The crossbow archer sets up the arrows, and the seriously injured can rest. Everyone else, do it as soon as possible. Fafeer, the injury on your arm has not healed yet, so don't help lift the injured, help with the alert!" Romon swept over everyone and said.
When they retreated to the third line of defense, most of the people's faces showed a tired look. They fought for two days in a row. Although there was a short rest in the middle, most of the time, they had to join another battle before they recovered. Therefore, their physical strength is severely consumed and they need to rest and recover.
According to the current situation, although they were so tired that they could almost fall asleep after lying down, everyone was still energetic and added some fortifications before the shift changers arrived. After all, if there was no support and the demon attacked again, it would be very unlucky.
Romon looked at the exhausted people and took action himself, and Fafell was also involved. After being affected, the temple warriors came to the defense line independently and carried out the defense mission vigilantly.
Before the successors arrive, the temporary allocation of personnel is more of a helpless move, but it is very feasible in a short period of time. After all, switching personnel can give a more tired group of people the opportunity to rest and prepare for the next battle.
Although everyone was exhausted, Romon had no better way except to relocate the personnel. Although the joining of Sangerber and the Temple Warriors in the morning made the team revitalize, now everyone is tired.
It was already around eight o'clock in the evening. Romon was sitting on a rock, looking outside, and he had rested, and of course he had to take on the guard's task.
"Romon, when will the people below arrive? If this continues, I am afraid that the third line of defense will not last long." Fafell walked over and sat beside him.
Because of Romon's special care, Fafer's injuries were recovering at a very fast speed. However, even so, he was injured several times, and he could not continue to participate in today's battle.
Before I could answer, there was a sudden commotion behind me.
Although Romon and Fafell 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 of them, and they were thin and ran over with a nervous look on their faces.
Behind him, hundreds of adventurers were all carrying fresh food and water. When Nick ran over, they had already distributed the food and water to everyone present in sequence according to the order Nick had just given.
For a moment, the fresh milky aroma and the sweet dessert smell immediately spread in the air.
"Romon, Fafell, are you all okay? I'll bring people to support and change shifts." Nick said as soon as he saw two good friends.
"Nick, you guy, finally know how to come to comfort us!" Fafell smiled.
Nick got closer and found that Fafell's face was a little pale and his hands were drooping weakly. He immediately asked nervously: "Ffell, are you injured? Where? Is it okay? Is it serious?"
"Oh, don't move, don't move, it's healing." Seeing that Nick actually came to look around, Fafell immediately shouted in protest.
"How can I feel relieved if you don't let me take a look!" Nick muttered dissatisfied.
Looking at this, Romon's mood was getting better. He smiled and patted Nick: "Don't worry, Nick, although he has a lot of injuries, it is not very serious. I have treated him. After today, I should be able to heal tomorrow."
"Look at it, I didn't lie to you, did Fafell say quickly.
Nick then let Fafell go and turned to Romon: "Romon, everyone here is tired. This time, I brought a large amount of food to comfort you, but also brought shift personnel. Half of these are reserves in our village, and half are adventurers who stay in our village. They are all warriors. I have issued a mission before I came. They have all taken over the mission. Don't worry, food, water and people, I will help you find a way." Nick said to Romon very seriously.
"Good work!" Romon was sighing at the staff's problems. Nick, the Interior Official, had already brought the shift change personnel. This made Romon sigh that having a good Interior Official in the territory is indeed a guarantee of victory.
Romon patted Nick on the shoulder again, and then began to arrange shift changes.
After just looking at the person who came, Romon nodded secretly. Nick was right, the people who came this time all looked good.
With Nick helping, Romon quickly reorganized the men and arranged them to various positions. The previous combatants were replaced to rest.
With the arrival of reinforcements, everyone's hearts were under a lot of pressure and everyone could hardly stand.
"Don't sleep, all of them follow me back to the village!" Nick shouted. He saw some people who had to lie on the ground and sleep after putting down the pressure: "The village has prepared hot water, healing medicine, and food, hurry up, go down."
As for the bodies of the soldiers who had already died, they were ordered to be transported back by Romon. These people were all young and had their families. Their death was for territory and to protect their homes. Therefore, Romon sent them back to the village in the name of heroes. He temporarily parked them, and after the war ended, they would be buried with a glorious grand funeral. The comfort work of the families of the dead was also handed over to Nick, who would go back soon.
Soon, the busyness was over, and it was late at night again.
In the first half of the night, Romon was on duty. In the second half of the night, it was the turn of Knight Sangerber to take the temple warriors to carry out the night watch. In fact, he only slept for one afternoon. Romon did not completely solve his fatigue. After handing over the shift, he lay down and slept soundly. It was not until the early morning that he woke up from his sleep uneasy.
Perhaps it was implicitly that he was hostile and wary of the Lord of the Glory, so Romon could not give all the safety of himself and the people around him to the people in the temple to be responsible.
It was a little cold on the underground passage. Romon tightened his clothes before he stood up and walked to the line of defense.
With a very light step, Romon quietly swept his eyes from every adventurer one by one and then arrived at the fortification front line.
Under the dark oil lamp, five soldiers were patrolling, and each step was with the sound of armor jingling.
The most magnificent one is the Paladin of Sangerber.
He was wearing heavy armor. After a day of fighting, although it was very strong, there were many traces of swords and guns stabbing, which showed the intensity of the battle and the environment in which the person fought.
At this time, he stared at the depths of the mine with a serious expression. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that this has been the case since the second half of the night. Around him, the four temple warriors also looked at him vigilantly.
Because Romon's hearing is much sharper than that of ordinary people, he can hear them talking without getting close to those people.
I heard a temple warrior persuading Sangerber: "Sir, you have been fighting for a day and have not had a rest. We are here, so you can take a rest!"
Sangerber shook his head: "No, this is my mission, there can be no mistake. As a paladin, we must be worthy of our title and God's precepts!"
Romon was shocked. No wonder the Lord of Glory is still powerful now, which is evident.
At this moment, the Knight Sangerber suddenly turned around and said, "Who?"
Romon smiled slightly, stepped out, and nodded slightly to the Knight Sangerber.
"Oh, it turns out it's Lord Lord, why did you get up like this long ago?" Knight Sangerber was a little surprised.
"Knight Sangerber, I slept for a while yesterday afternoon, and now I have fully recovered." Romon also replied in a serious tone, and his eyes saw the corpses of demons and monsters below.
Knight Sangerber also looked down slightly, and his eyes were filled with admiration and excitement, and he said, "I didn't expect that there would be so many demons falling down in this mining area..."
Romon nodded and said, "Yes, rely on the terrain...you continue to monitor, I'm going to go down and reconnaissance."
"Lord, is this too dangerous?"
"It doesn't matter, the demon seems to have retreated to the gap and trimmed it. I'll look at it and come back." Romon said: "Everyone is fighting, and I have to do my best."
In fact, Romon is nostalgic for the countless demon corpses. Although he has lost most of the effects, he is still a good fertilizer!
