Quick Pass: Raiders That Man

This is a dilapidated and deserted town, but a few days ago, it was still a lively and bustling city that never sleeps. The most eye-catching thing in the town is a dome building that is still intact in the distance.

It stands quietly in the cold winter wind, like an old man in his dying years, quietly watching the world that has been turned upside down with his tired eyes.

Dust and fallen leaves covered the steps of the Temple of Light. One door fell to the ground, while the other stood there ajar.

The soldier was very happy because finally he saw the figure of the survivor again.

He briefly described the current situation to Feng Yun and the others, and encouraged: "Don't worry, His Majesty the King is also here, and he is the one who led us to regain our strength here. One day, we will seize the land lost by humans." Come back!"

The young king was in full swing in discussions with his advisors and scholars in the only intact hall.

"Your Majesty, there are new survivors!" The soldier shouted excitedly.

The king was taken aback, looked over immediately, and asked eagerly, "How many people are there?"

"There are only eight people." The soldier was gloomy for a moment, then excited again, "But there are five magicians, two mercenaries and one elf ranger, all of whom can fight!"

"Great." A slight smile appeared on the serious face of the king, and the smile froze when he saw the long sword on Feng Yun's waist, "This, this sword..."

Feng Yun held the hilt of the sword and said vigilantly, "This is mine."

"Don't worry, this is not my sword, so I won't take it away." The king's tone was a bit inexplicable, "Where is the former owner of this sword?"

"Die, I picked it up from a monster's body." Feng Yun told the truth.

"That's right... this Holy Sword of the Pope should also be very happy to meet a new owner..."

The king was silent for a moment, then smiled again: "In short, I am really grateful that you came here safely. Every person who is still alive is a piece of wealth and strength."

"But I still have things to do, soldier, you take them to settle down first, wait, there are still some magicians, the magicians stay here, I need the help of the magicians for important things."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The magicians originally belonged to the royal family, so they were naturally extremely surprised that the king would appear here.

Without any hesitation, they quickly interacted with the magicians on the other side.

Feng Yun looked at the obvious dark circles under the king's eyes, and said, "If there is anything we can help, please feel free to tell me."

"Hahaha, yes, but at this time, I can't afford the cost of hiring mercenaries."

The king made a joke very accommodatingly, and said seriously: "Our current communication has been cut off, and we cannot communicate with anywhere."

"I think there should be camps established by survivors in other places besides ours, and we need to get in touch with them.

But it is not safe to go out rashly, so now I am trying to figure out how to contact survivors in other places, at least to give them hope. "

The communication with other places relies on the mutual communication between the magician and the magic tower, but in this situation, most of the magic towers are abolished, and most people in the world don't know magic.

Feng Yun remained silent. If the magic field was involved, then they really had nothing to do.

But if it's just to show their location, just to tell others that they are still alive...

"Why don't you use a flare?"

"Ah?" The king was stunned, "But the range of the flare... No, if you use magic, we have a lot of magicians here. If you combine them..."

He muttered alone, and soon thought of something, turned around and rushed back to the magicians.

Before, his mind was full of magic. To restore the maximum range of communication, the magic towers everywhere needed to be activated.

Signal flares used to be used only by mercenaries who had little money and couldn't afford to hire magicians.

Feng Yun, who had little money and couldn't afford to hire a magician, greeted Henry and Bai Yumo to leave. The three of them followed the soldiers to a resettlement site. They said it was a resettlement site, but it was actually an open space in the open air.

The soldier smiled embarrassingly, "There is no better place. Those houses that are still in good condition are given to women and children, and everyone sleeps like this."

"Thank you." Feng Yun didn't care, and just said, "Did a group of mercenaries come here a few days ago?"

The soldier shook his head decisively without hesitation, "No, there are very few survivors, and you are the only ones who have come here these days."

"Okay, thank you, go get busy."

This is not good news. Feng Yun knew that if they hadn't come here, they would have probably died on the way.

Henry also thought of this, and his eyes that were ignited with hope suddenly dimmed. He lay down on the ground casually, his voice hoarse, "Captain, I want to sleep for a while."

Feng Yun said "hmm", and after seeing Bai Yumo's worried eyes, he showed a faint smile, "It's okay, let's go for a walk."

"Okay." Bai Yumo nodded in agreement.

In fact, walking around such a place does not make people feel relaxed, and there are people with numb expressions everywhere.

Everyone has more or less lost their relatives, lovers, and friends, or they have been scattered all over the place, and now they don't even hear from each other.

Feng Yun asked: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, will the elves..."

"I don't know, but it should be similar, but elves have more magicians, so they should be much better than humans."

Bai Yumo's tone was very flat.

"Do you have no elf friends or... relatives, lovers? It seems that you are not very worried about them."

"It's useless to worry, not to mention that I'm not an elf from the elf empire."

"Is that so." Feng Yun wisely didn't ask too much, and then said: "I want to join the crusade against monsters. If there is one, at least I can't always be so passive and defensive."

Bai Yumo stopped, "But that would be very dangerous."

"Well, that's true, but the life I lived before was just as dangerous." Feng Yun laughed, "I believe that even the most stingy people will become generous in times of crisis concerning the survival of civilization."

"Are you... are you such a naive person?"

"Well, maybe?" Feng Yun shrugged, "What about you? What do you want to do?"

"If I want to live, I must first ensure that I live in a world where mortals can control most things. So...my plan should be the same as yours."

Bai Yumo didn't meet Feng Yun's eyes for too long.

He could see too many things from those eyes, surging emotions, clear love, firm sense of faith and a touch of expectation...

The other party is expecting him to respond.

Bai Yumo is a realistic elf. It is said that the environment creates character. As a black-haired and fair-skinned elf, he is incompatible with the group of elves, so he is very realistic.

But Feng Yun, logically speaking, as a mercenary, he should also be a realistic person.

But he was expecting an answer that was destined to be impossible.

"Let's go, don't you want to go shopping?"

Bai Yumo asked, and then a gust of wind blew over violently. It wasn't wind, but more like a wave of air oscillating when some energy device was activated.

Feng Yun immediately blocked him behind him, and following the direction of the air waves, everyone saw a strange metal device appearing on the tallest tower of the only intact temple of light.

It should be that the magicians have come up with something new, right?

Everyone thought about it, so they simply continued to read.

Feng Yun grabbed Bai Yumo's hand and ran towards the temple, "Let's go and have a look."

"Ah, but... will the king let us see?" Bai Yumo shook his head, smoothing out the messy hair just now.

"Just go and have a look if you're curious, how will you know what the king means if you don't try it!" Feng Yun turned around and smiled.

The two were so impolite that the king agreed.

They stood on the tallest tower of the Temple of Light, with a magician busy busy beside them.

The king explained: "Because of your suggestion, I remembered that every temple of light is built with a large receiving device. The magicians said that as long as the order of a few runes is adjusted, the device can become a large emitting device. .”

"In this way, we can release the magic gathered by the magicians into the sky through this device, which can last for a long time, so that the survivors should be able to see this beam of light."

Feng Yun nodded, "I know what receiving device this is. It is said that it is used to receive the power of the God of Light?"

"That's right, our Pope is amazing, isn't he? He is my friend and the most devout believer who is loved by the God of Light." The king's tone seemed to be showing off.

Feng Yun was noncommittal, "However, the gods have all fallen. I used to believe in the God of War, but the God of War no longer gives me strength."

This is an unfriendly topic, but the king shrugged and nodded: "Yes, the gods have fallen, but you can't deny that they have indeed given us a lot of help."

"Even now, the holy water stored in the Temple of Light is enough to save many people's lives; the devices here can still be used by us...I generally don't like to talk about such topics."

The king said: "Do you know? The main hall of the God of Light, a total of... 230 and eight knights of the main temple, came here to cover us, and all sacrificed. Their Pope and ten of the most elite knight squads were the first to sacrifice in Garde. hills."

"As a king, I can't sacrifice like him, or... martyrdom? Hahaha, who knows, it's not easy for everyone. I lost so much, but as long as I don't give up, there is definitely a chance to come back. "

"You should calm down, Your Majesty." Feng Yun interrupted his rambling, "You are a little incoherent."

The king was stunned, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, "You are right, I just think you, you are quite familiar, hahaha, just pretend that I haven't complained like this for a long time, sorry."

"Your Majesty, it's ready!" the magician shouted.

"Okay, let's start." The king walked over quickly.

Several magicians began to chant the large-scale lighting magic of the flame system, and several runes were lit up on the device in sequence.

Taking advantage of the dim skylight, this light is like a lamp in the dark night.

Soon, the chanting ended, and all the runes on the device were lit up in the predetermined order, and the last magician who operated it pressed the button of the device.

Suddenly, there was a sound of mechanical operation, and there was a "boom", and a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky with the sound of an explosion.

It is connected to the Temple of Light, far away and straight into the end of the sky, like the backbone of human beings that has never bent down since ancient times.

This beam of light caught everyone's eyes, it wasn't thick, but it was shocking enough.

"Your Majesty, if the magicians work continuously, they can last all night."

"Well... just half the night. If there are any survivors, they must be able to write down this direction. We should also go out to collect supplies and search for survivors."

"If there is such a team, please let me join." Feng Yun looked at the young king, "Mercenaries don't owe favors. I picked up that sword, so I should pay back the favors."

"Of course, I'm glad you think so."

"Your Majesty! There is a reaction, there is a reaction!" The magician excitedly pointed in one direction, "Over there! There is light!"

In the distant night, an inconspicuous light flickered and trembled.But soon, the light stabilized, and the warm and soft white light quietly complemented the beam of light here.

"I remember that there is a newly built magic academy in the town in that direction!" The magician shouted: "It's unbelievable, there are still some children in that academy, that academy."

"So, you shouldn't underestimate children, they are the hope." The king looked in that direction fixedly, and murmured: "That's right, compared to us, they are the hope."

Feng Yun pulled Bai Yumo and left quietly.

Bai Yumo looked at the mercenary, his voice was soft but firm, "I think there must be more and more responses, right?"

Feng Yun smiled, "That's right, although mortals are not the most powerful creatures in nature, they are the creatures most capable of performing miracles."

And just as his words fell, a beam of light strong enough to penetrate the sky reappeared in the extremely far sky.

That beam of light obviously came from a more distant place, even so far away that it passed through the border of this country, passed through another country, and finally located the elf empire where the elves lived.

They have stronger power and technology than humans, although they also suffered heavy casualties in this sudden crisis.

But it quickly organized defensive fortifications, and when the human empire sent a signal, it responded extremely quickly.
