Ten minutes ago, on the outskirts of Erbozi Village
Taylor gently reined in his beloved horse, Daylight, and raised his arm to make a gesture.
The three paladins behind him stopped almost at the same time, and their neat movements were like reflections of each other. Even the horses under them were completely in the same straight line. They looked even pleasing to the eye.
Although the individual strength is not very strong, these knights who have undergone various trainings and tests in the Holy Domain are worthy of the name of elites in all aspects, especially when they are followed by a sparse, scattered and chaotic army. This extreme contrast can't be described in words.
"Hey, stop, man, please stop!"
"Paul, Paul, have you seen my staff?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it, get out!"
"Well, if I had known I would have turned into a leopard and run away..."
"Isn't it a little embarrassing for us to be like this?"
"Seriously, our overall appearance would be much better if you weren't lying on the horse."
"Mr. Luomu, I picked up a staff! Mr. Luomu!"
"Where is Pastor Hei Fan? I want to borrow his wolf horse to ride~"
Noisy shouts came one after another from the group behind... which should be regarded as the 'team'. If others only listened to the sound, they would even think that there were at least hundreds of people here.
It has to be said that the 'soldiers' Mo Tan brought out this time really lacked military literacy.
Yes, these people are low-level professionals who responded to the recruitment, heroes who once defended the front outside Mida City, but a few days ago they were just adventurers, mercenaries or grassroots members of some neutral organizations. Not to mention compared to the previous few knights who have imprinted their faith, discipline and honor on their souls, even the guards of Mida City are more than 20 times better than them in this regard.
"I'm sorry, Lord Taylor." Mo Tan, who rode Xiaobai around Taylor, rubbed his forehead in distress, shook his head with a dry smile, "Everyone seems to be a little too nervous."
Yes, it was just nervous. Mo Tan could feel that the people behind him were not unwilling to abide by the rules. They were just too nervous, so they had to use this method that they were most accustomed to to relieve stress.
The safety of his own life, the enemies he is about to face, the foreseeable tragedy in the village...
No one can restrain himself from thinking wildly.
But they still came. Under the premise that Mo Tan had already explained all the circumstances, they climbed on the knights' horses while complaining, "Sure enough, nothing happened." Half the people were left behind, including a dwarf ranger who couldn't reach the stirrups no matter how hard he tried.
"They can keep up with the speed of the four of us. The warriors you asked Lord Sol to recruit are already very good. I can see that none of them have received systematic riding training." Taylor replied seriously to Mo Tan Then he took a deep breath, turned the horse's head and shouted to everyone, "Please be quiet, gentlemen, it is not the rest time yet."
The noisy path soon became quiet, and only a female elf warrior located further back muttered, "And ladies..."
"Yes, there are ladies." Taylor nodded in agreement, and then said solemnly, "We are almost arriving at the village. Before that, I reiterate that the four of us will fight head-on with those monsters in a while. Attract their attention as much as possible, and your mission is to rescue the survivors and cover their retreat. Once the safety of all villagers is ensured, leave here immediately, do you understand?"
"oh!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Got it, man!"
"It sounds like this job is pretty easy~"
Everyone responded sparsely.
"Very good, let's go first." Taylor obviously didn't have high demands on them. He just smiled and nodded, then raised the lance in his hand high, "In the name of the goddess, prepare to fight. , ride... warriors."
After saying that, he drove his horse to turn sharply on the spot, and galloped towards the village not far away with the other three holy knights.
"Remember what I told everyone before." Mo Tan was silent for a moment, turned around and nodded slightly to everyone, then gently touched Xiao Bai's neck, "Let's go too."
Everyone responded as seriously as possible.
The next second, ten war horses set off again with the unqualified knights on their backs, with messy footsteps.
…
Game time 13:27
Misha County, Erbozi Village
Mo Tan and the ten people behind him immediately left their mounts and moved forward on foot after entering the village. Everyone took out their weapons and carefully observed the surroundings while following the horse hoof prints left by Taylor and the others. The center of the village moves quickly.
"The smell of blood is very light." The elf druid Eman Heiye, who was walking at the front of the team, sniffed slightly, then turned back and whispered to everyone, "It seems that the massacre we imagined did not happen. "
The half-orc named Tirion Windfury and nicknamed Lao Zhao next to Mo Tan summoned a dark green totem pole on the spot. "The wind told me that there are no enemies nearby."
"There are blood stains there." The dwarf ranger Luo Mu pointed to an inconspicuous dark red mark on the ground not far away, frowned and said, "It should have gone to the center of the village, half a day ago."
The tree elf female thief poked her head out of a room on the right with a half-broken door, and said loudly, "I found some unknown powder and blood stains, but there is no body."
"It seems that Teacher Tony is right. Most of the people in the village are still alive." Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, then took out his Sacred Book of Acura from his bag, and said to everyone in a deep voice, "Speed up the speed. Well, the survivors and monsters should all be gathered near the alchemy workshop in the center of the town. Lord Taylor and the others should have already arrived there. The druids and thieves will clear the way, and the security work will be left to Mr. Romu."
The dwarf ranger nimbly jumped to a nearby wooden house, raised the long bow in his hand, "Don't worry."
So everyone speeded up again and rushed to the center of the village. They encountered seven or eight mutilated corpses on the road. Although it was still a little uncomfortable, it was an unexpected good result. After all, if it is the largest on this scale, Dozens of mutants appeared in a small village with only one or two hundred people. Theoretically speaking, it is absolutely impossible that only such a few people died. It would not be surprising even if corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed...
a moment later
Mo Tan, who was walking a little ahead of the team, had already heard the faint sounds of roars and fighting not far away. He immediately turned around and said to everyone, "It seems that the knights have begun to fight those mutants. Let's give each other a boost." For spells, those who can resist beatings should line up in front. Spell casters will give priority to assisting them. Everyone concentrates!"
He raised his hand to brush a layer of Law Shield for a lizard warrior who rushed to the front, and after turning the next corner, he met Ai...I mean, he saw a three-story building with a hanging on it. A crooked sign with the words 'Luna's Alchemy Workshop' crookedly written on it.
And outside the small building, a bunch of black monsters were fighting in full swing!
Wait, a bunch of monsters are fighting? !
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then walked to the front of the team and took a closer look. It turned out that there were a bunch of black monsters fighting with four paladins including Taylor, who were also covered in black. Their horses fell not far behind. He was twitching and seemed not to be in danger for his life.
"The timing is just right!" Taylor also saw Mo Tan and others appearing behind him, and quickly shouted, "We have successfully attracted them. The villagers are trapped in the workshop, go and pick them up quickly. "
Mo Tan nodded and quickly led ten low-level professionals to the other side of the road and rushed towards the workshop, while Taylor and the other three paladins tried their best to lead the mutants as far away as possible. During the battle, several wounds had been torn by the large wave of mutants, and the blood seeping from them just made the latter become more violent, completely unaware that another group of people had quietly completed a covert bypass.
"Hold on!" Mo Tan, who had successfully arrived at the workshop with everyone, shouted to Taylor, then quickly rushed into the house and shouted to the dozens of villagers in front of him who looked surprised and uncertain, " We are coming from Mida City, Tony has told us everything about the situation, everyone come out quickly, our Paladins can’t resist for long!”
The ten people behind him had already set up a small line of defense outside the house. Ranger Lomu began to attack the group of mutants not far away, while the two shamans were not far away at the same time. Chu threw his own Earthbound Totem to prevent those mutants from suddenly changing their targets.
"You are really here to pick us up?" An old orc man over fifty years old grabbed Mo Tan's hands excitedly, and after receiving a positive reply, he burst into tears and sobbed. "I didn't expect Tony to really pick us up." The message has been sent out, thank God, thank...thank God!"
However, this old man who looked like a village chief, but in fact... was the village chief, did not waste too long. He quickly stabilized his emotions, and then organized the villagers in the workshop to do their best. Leave this temporary shelter quickly.
In less than ten minutes, a total of eighty-seven survivors were evacuated from inside. It is not clear how they were squeezed into this workshop that did not look spacious from the outside.
"I hate walking because it's really tiring." Luna Lynch was the last one to come out. This young alchemist girl had been tidying up the alchemy table in front of her until the last villager left. Then he ran out of it holding an extremely old-looking notebook, muttering as if in a dream, "I don't think they are interested in my workshop, just like I am not interested in alcohol..." Hmm, this description doesn’t seem very appropriate… Yes, it’s indeed not very appropriate…”
Mo Tan tilted his head and glanced at the girl in front of him who looked a little messy, and asked softly, "Are you Ms. Luna Lynch?"
"That's right!" Luna clapped her hands vigorously, and then asked Mo Tan abruptly, "You don't eat feces, right? You probably have no interest in attacking feces, right?"
The latter was dumbfounded at the time. He reacted for two seconds before replying with a wry smile, "Yes, you are absolutely right."
"Well, that's the truth, so they probably won't demolish my workshop." Luna smiled contentedly, and then whispered to herself in her ethereal voice, "So I should be able to escape calmly now, Well...you don’t have to worry anymore, that’s good.”
Then he simply ignored Mo Tan and walked slowly to the other villagers, standing still thoughtfully.
"Are all alchemists such a character?" Mo Tan smacked his lips, and then turned his attention to Taylor and others who were still attracting the attention of the mutants not far away, and shook the cross in his hands. "But That’s not the point right now…”
Golden light arrows shot out from his fingertips, burning a small scorch mark on the back of a mutant.
"Don't worry about us!" Taylor waved the cross sword in his hand and forced back four or five mutants. His body was surrounded by a layer of faint golden flames, and he yelled at Mo Tan, "You take the villagers and leave here immediately. We are here." Meet at Mida City!”
Mo Tan sighed, "Will we meet up with your tomb?"
Taro, who was facing at least seven or eight mutants at the same time, did not hear clearly what Mo Tan just said. He just shouted anxiously, "Leave quickly! May the goddess be with you!"
"No need, I don't want to experience the feeling of being with the goddess a second time." Mo Tan twitched the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly raised his voice, "Luomu, Cathy, help nail the one I just hit. That one, then the men on the left and the women on the right will be called from both sides, only shoot the legs!"
Whoosh! Buzz!
Two rapidly spinning arrows shot through the air and penetrated the mutant's legs, pinning it firmly in place.
The dwarf ranger squatting on the second floor of the alchemy workshop and the dwarf huntress on the roof behind Mo Tan quickly plucked the bowstring and sent feather arrows into the back of the group of mutants.
"What are you doing!" When Taylor saw that Mo Tan and others not only had no intention of leaving, but even launched an attack on the group of mutants in front of him, he couldn't help but yelled with splitting eyes, "Do you want to disobey? You want everyone to die." Is it here?"
Mo Tan directly ignored the other party's roar, and just quickly opened the holy book and threw a powerful healing prayer at Taylor, and then said in a deep voice, "Wendy, Scott, you can use any water magic." , smash around the one in the middle wearing red clothes, the wider the range the better, you don’t want to kill them, just make them wet! Be careful to avoid our knights!"
"Understood!" A half-dragon wearing leather armor but wearing a junior mage badge raised his hands. "I use the rain spell!"
The half-elf woman standing next to him waved her short staff and shouted to Taro and others, "I can only stir up water, so please pay more attention!"
"What are you paying attention to? Why haven't you left yet?!"
"Be careful not to get wet." Mo Tan smiled at Taylor, and then gently clasped his hands. "I still want to give it a try. I think you don't have to die..."
