"This is a world with thin spiritual power. Only those with rank four strength can be called strong. I have always believed that travelers should not be too nostalgic for a certain land. But when the wind lanterns fly, the pavement is full At that moment when the whole sky was covered, for the first time, I felt shaken in my heart about my identity..."
"Traveler, are you saying that the thieves have gathered in the south and are planning to attack Fento City?" After all, you feel that Rosen is unreliable and are already approaching the city. If the thieves are not stopped, the Lantern Festival may not be able to start normally. .
It took a lot of effort to persuade the soldiers to invite the dignified veteran-Pelland. Raising his head, the tall sergeant looked at the young man with a sleepy expression.
"I just checked with the scouts. As you said, there is indeed a band of thieves stationed behind the mountain. They probably learned that our main force is dealing with the black beasts and took this opportunity to take action on the night of the festival." The other party said, frowning. Then locked up.
"So, can the Lantern Festival still start as scheduled?" The young man didn't care about anything else. He only cared about whether the festival could be held as planned.
"I'm afraid it won't work. When forces from both sides are attacking, everyone must be on alert!" Pelander continued: "This time the offensive of the black beast army is quite fierce. We have mobilized almost all our forces to concentrate on guarding the northern area, and we cannot allocate our strength. Deal with the thieves in the south. If nothing else, we need to arm the civilians in the city and join the war to deal with the thieves. I am very sorry, traveler, to make you face such a situation when you first came here."
"The Wind Lantern Festival cannot be held..." Upon learning of this situation, the young man felt sad. As a traveler, he travels all over the world just to see the beauty of the world. The development in front of him is something that the young man does not want to see.
"So, is there any way to make the Lantern Festival go on as scheduled?" The young man was unwilling to give in.
"There is a way. I have a retired soldier named Rosen Monzi. If you can persuade him, let him lead the veterans to fight, so that we don't need to put the whole city under martial law and let the Lantern Festival go on as usual. .”
"Rosen Monchi..." Hearing this name, the young man frowned.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?" Pelander noticed something was wrong from the young man's expression, and Pelander felt a little strange.
"We do know each other, and I have explained everything to him before meeting you. However, he is not willing to return to the battlefield." The young man spread his hands and said.
"It's completely understandable that he doesn't want to help." Hearing the young man's words, Pelander nodded.
"If I were to meet Rosen in person, I would be able to persuade him, but due to the current situation, I cannot escape. The next round of attack by the black beast is coming, and I must rush to the front line of the battlefield again."
"If you want Rosen to defend Finto City, you have to find his old men. If they are them, they should be able to persuade Rosen. Then, I'll leave this to you." Pelander handed over a letter.
"This is a military order. Give this to the city lord, and he will give you the necessary weapons. If I don't get a response from the city lord within 24 hours, it will be deemed that the negotiation has failed. In that case, the worst-case scenario must be prepared in advance. Intend."
"Why do you trust me so much?" Looking at the letter sent by Pelander, the young man did not dare to accept it, and looked at the other party with a strange look.
"As a traveler, I'm sorry to involve you. I just hope you can have a happy Lantern Festival."
The young man sighed. He originally didn't want to take action personally, but now he had to set off to find Rosen's old subordinates.
Based on the clues given by Pelander, the boy found the ranch where Yona cultivated, and rescued Gent, Fodan and Banler who were imprisoned by the black beast a few days ago. These are several of Rosen's old subordinates.
The strength of several people is at level three, and the thieves are generally around level two, with a level of suppression. However, the opponent has a large number of people, and the current combat power is not enough.
"It is my duty to defend Finto City. Respectable traveler, if you can fight with us, you may have a greater chance of victory." Ghent, who was strangled by the black beast and had only one leg left, will sincerely say He turned his attention to the young man, hoping to get his help.
"No, I'm just a traveler. This is all I can do for you." The young man refused. All the veterans looked at each other, but in the end it was Fodan who spoke.
"I'm sorry Traveler, it's our fault for involving you in this incident. Protecting Finto City should be our duty, but our strength alone is not enough. We need Rosen..."
"Rosen Monchi, why else do you think I came to you specifically?" The young man turned a deaf ear to Fodan's words.
Maric, I learned this name from the mouths of veterans. That was Rosen's best friend, a soldier who had fought side by side on the battlefield.
"My child, you don't have to say anything. I understand what you mean, and I will go and persuade you." On the rooftop, the blind old man with his back to the boy, sitting in a wheelchair and bathing in the sun, said this.
"Oh? Is it the talent of mind reading? It's quite interesting." Hearing what the old man said, the young man was a little surprised.
"I don't have that kind of ability. It's up to that guy Rosen to come to me as a lonely old man." After speaking, the old man smiled and shook his head.
Seeing the old man rolling the wheelchair past him, the young man froze on the spot.
"There is a kind of hero who does not seek fame or fortune. They protect the pure land for the faith in their hearts? Maybe not, they just have no choice." At that moment, the young man seemed to sympathize with this group of people. That is the tragedy of being a hero. In people's eyes, they are just victims of war.
"Rosen is unwilling to participate in assisting in the battle, but those few veterans are not powerful enough at all. I hope to get enough combat preparation resources from the city lord." Facing the sad face of the city lord of Fento City, the young man confidently ordered the general indifferently Take it out.
"Why do we need so many combat readiness resources?" The materials were taken from the inventory of the city lord's palace and allocated from the military finance finance controlled by the city lord. Seeing the large number of material requests from those veterans, the other party looked at the young man with displeasure in his eyes.
"Executive Officer Pelander said that only Rosen can save Finto City, but Rosen doesn't care about Finto City at all, and he doesn't seem to have a good way, and we can't force him to die. With a few veterans to fight, It is too much to do without sufficient combat preparation resources. Now that the enemy has arrived at the city, as the lord of Finto City, you won’t be stingy with even this little thing, right?”
"That bastard Rosen is willing to take action no matter what he wants. As a person from Fento City, he is actually unwilling to fight to protect Fento City. He is not worthy of being called a hero at all!" After hearing the news, the city owner was so angry that he gritted his teeth. .
"Uncle, I just remembered that he is a hero. What have you been doing for a long time? If a hero has to be beaten on the stage all day in order to have a full stomach, then what is the attraction of this hero? Is it only to die? At that time, is he worthy of being called a hero in your eyes!?" The young man mocked the city lord's old face rudely.
"He is a soldier, and those are what he should do." The city lord blushed.
"Then as the city lord, should you set an example?"
"How dare you talk to me like that!" The city lord was furious at the fact that he was already so angry and was mocked like this by a kid.
As the city lord's mood changed, the surrounding guards quickly rushed over upon hearing the sound, facing each other with swords, and surrounded the young man.
However, in the next second, a strong aura spread from the young man's body. The terrifying oppressive force directly suppressed everyone present so that they could not move.
"He's not a soldier now, and I'm sorry, neither am I. Why do you think I'm willing to do so much for this place?" Step by step, he walked out of the surrounding guards and looked at the man who was curled up on the ground under the pressure of the fourth revolution. City Lord.
The young man once again picked up the general order: "Those soldiers need these resources. If you still want to live in this land, please do so!"
