Heartwarming Little Story from Another World · Rescue of the Dangerous City_1 125: 46.
Heartwarming Little Story from Another World · Rescue of the Dangerous City_1 Murphy found all the vampires around him.
Including him, there were only four in total.
Thankfully, it was the dead of night, and they still had four to five hours before dawn.
With their enhanced perception in the dark, they could easily pinpoint the civilians trapped in the ruins of the outer city.
Before the survivors in the camp were organized, the miss and Lady Adel spread their wings, braving the Star Realm’s spiritual energy and the ominous black snow, to survey the ruins.
They returned with valuable intelligence.
As Cardman City had been swallowed by the energy of the Star Realm Rift, rather than experiencing a real earthquake, there were actually not many people trapped under the ruins.
The primary reason those who were still alive couldn’t escape was the despairing creatures constantly erging from the shadows of the Star Realm and the Star Realm beasts lurking in the shadows.
Upon receiving this information, Murphy swiftly adjusted his plan.
“Use fire!”
Cui Si, using her profound knowledge of spiritual energy, proposed a solution.
Facing the shadows within the collapsed city wall, she said to Murphy:
“The Star Realm shadows in the outer city are rely emanating from the inner city, both their concentration and number cannot compare to the core area engulfed by the Star Realm spiritual energy.
These peripheral shadows can be quickly dispersed with fire.
The simplest solution is to burn the entire outer city, effectively purging it.
But if you want to rescue people, you can’t be so crude.
Common people holding alchemical torches can also drive back despairing creatures, buying enough ti for the terrified to escape.
The biggest problem is the Star Realm beasts hiding in the shadows.
All creatures of the Star Realm can sense the emotions of living beings, they can distinguish who’s the easiest prey.
So you don’t have to go with them to rescue.
While civilians use the torches to clear the way, you’ll deal with the hidden dangers in the dark.
Honestly, there aren’t many people left who’ve survived the first wave of Star Realm invasion in the outer city.
If everything goes smoothly, most of them should be saved by dawn.
Those who are too close to the Rift dirtied by the Star Realm debris, our current strength is simply insufficient to clean up there.
I suggest we strategically abandon them.”
“Why haven’t your servants woken up?”
The miss didn’t object to this plan, but she noticed the little shanty beside the wall break and the little players lying inside, so she asked:
“In these circumstances, shouldn’t we wake them up too?”
“My warriors are exhausted.”
Murphy humd, waving his hand to deflect:
“The survivors you see were rescued by them from peril earlier, they’re spent.
Let them rest.
I believe, fearless as they are, they will shoulder the toughest tasks tomorrow.”
“Swoosh”
A curvaceous figure descended from the sky, precisely and softly landing beside the miss and Murphy, her massive blood-colored bat wings folding behind her.
Lady Adel, who had mastered the art of the Blood Vulture flight and seed quite adept at it, whispered to the two:
“The people from the survivor camp are coming, about 140 of them.”
“Prepare torches for them.”
Murphy turned to Cui Si and said:
“You don’t need to go, stay here and help us hold the line.”
“I’m not as powerless as you think, little Murphy.”
Cui Si was sowhat dissatisfied with this arrangent, but the clever lady knew this wasn’t the ti to complain.
She turned around to make long-burning simple torches with the alchemical materials at hand.
As for weapons, there was no shortage.
The little players had scavenged a lot from the city before they logged off, they had brought back many cold weapons.
Murphy certainly wouldn’t hand over firearms to these survivors.
He knew what kind of stupid things people could do when driven to despair and fear.
Before establishing his authority, it was better to keep control over these weapons.
“We will each take one side.”
Murphy pointed at three spots on the map of the outer city and said to the miss and Lady Adel:
“We’ll advance simultaneously from three directions, hunting down the Star Realm beasts.
My servants and warriors will lead the survivors in the rescue mission and act as supervisory teams.”
The miss and Lady Adel, both Black Iron Rank vampires, had no objections to this.
However, Phemys gave Murphy a glance, hesitated for a mont, then suggested:
“Not that I’m underestimating you, Murphy, but you should let Lady Adel stick with you.”
“No need!”
Murphy waved his hand while rolling his eyes inwardly.
He thought to himself that the miss sotis really hurt his feelings with her words.
Isn’t this just you looking down on my abilities?
But his character level was already at 9, just one step away from triggering the Black Iron Trial.
How could he let soone else share his combat experience?
This wasn’t an easy ga where you could leech off others and the initial phase of the operation wasn’t the ti to slack off.
Seeing Murphy so determined, the miss took several scrolls from her spiritual energy bag and handed them to him, saying:
“Then apply a spiritual enhancent on yourself.
These scrolls are my aid to you.
Bravery is a virtue, but arrogance and recklessness are not.”
Murphy didn’t refuse.
He examined the scrolls in his hand, and an information tag quickly popped up:
