Magic Tower Starry Sky

Remember [New] in a second! From confirming their identities to boarding the airship, a group of people didn't spend much time. Anyway, after taking off the heavy winter clothes, as long as they are not demons or half-orcs, they are all their own people.

Several half-sized children were stuffing biscuits into their mouths as dry food. This thing is not delicious, but it is full. For children who are growing and have not eaten for a long time, they can't wait to fill every space in their stomachs.

For such a picture, the ones who feel the deepest are those children from elementary schools. Once upon a time, they also looked like this when they were on the street. Whenever they had the opportunity to eat, they would eat as much as possible. Because I don't know where the next meal will be.

Although it feels like it's something from a previous life. But in fact, they are not far from that kind of life, and they are not much different in age from the children in front of them. Rather than saying that the current mood is pity, it is better to say that it is deep emotion.

But the oldest child didn't bother to feed himself. While spraying biscuit crumbs, he pleaded: "Please, can you help the others? They are not far from here. There are not many people, just a few people. If we just follow you away like this , They must not be able to survive on their own.”

Aijiou handed out a glass of water, and said condolences: "Drink first, and then talk. Where is there someone, and what is the detailed situation?"

Only then did the big boys tell their situation.

They can be called pioneers, reclaiming a wasteland that no one cultivates. If they can stand their ground, they can get ten years of tax exemption from the lord. Ownership can be claimed if there is no liege. This is the usual practice of Midi.

The number is five families. There are quite a few capable people in these families. Without such people as a backer, they dare not open up to the natural world that can eat people.

But the war of demon invasion shattered their expectations for the future. The army of the evil faction crossing the border like locusts caused all the human beings living on this land to lose the foundation of their livelihood and even their lives.

The five families were not spared either. They fled from the land they reclaimed by themselves, some lost their lives in the process, and some hid in the mountains and forests. This group of children is a group of people who escaped the disaster of war.

Originally, there were adults taking care of them. In this winter of shortage of supplies, they tried their best to collect things that could feed their stomachs. But then, the adults didn't come back. I don't know if he escaped or died.

The children were so hungry that they, the older ones, came out to take risks. Then he was discovered by the orcs and fled; he was discovered by the airship and rescued.

Of course they are willing to leave with the airship, but they have to take away the children who are still hiding. Because they are younger and don't live in any big city. In this freezing weather, it was impossible for those children to survive on their own.

Of course, Ezio would not refuse such a request. But he wouldn't foolishly head in the direction these older kids reported. Instead, let people first investigate the place and confirm the situation.

The mountain forest where this group of people hid was ingeniously located, it happened to be a concave cave. It has been disguised and arranged, and it is difficult to see the clues from a distance. At the beginning of the Arcane Eye investigation, there was no living body response.

You must know that although the eyes of arcane magic will be covered, the scope of detecting the underground will be greatly reduced compared to the area without cover.

But that has to go deep into the ground to have invisible situations. So Ezio once thought that those children were lying.

It wasn't until the radar operator reminded him that he realized that he had asked to shield a too weak biological target. After lowering this restriction and still excluding bug-level creatures, I saw the biological reactions of those children.

And the children who were left behind were also like the older children who were rescued before, there were those who couldn't even speak a whole sentence, bumped when they walked, and some were even in their infancy. They were not at all wary, and when someone came to pick them up, they obediently followed.

So the saying that without a few sensible older children, these few can never live alone is very likely to happen.

As for the nearby hiding places, the nearest demon or orc barracks and outposts are quite far away. As long as the airship does not linger, there is no danger of being discovered or surrounded.

After confirming the situation, Aijiou and others took away the remaining children as quickly as possible. During the process, there were no surprises, and there was no routine of the appearance of the Virgin and the birth of disasters.

In fact, everyone has a heart of compassion. This is a famous saying of a sage who traveled through many hometowns. The offensive part should be doing what appears to be the right thing at the wrong time and the wrong place. Moreover, the lost society has not yet educated people to be indifferent.

Aijiou dared to save people, one is that the task has been completed, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The second is that their location belongs to the blank area on the north side of the mountain. Even if there are humans or enemies active, it is an extremely small scale of a few or a dozen people.

The third is to stimulate everyone. Perhaps after the mission is completed, they can go back safely, and this investigation mission will be considered a successful conclusion. But they are not professional spies after all, they are fighters, they are soldiers, and they need to maintain their blood.

And to achieve this level, what is more useful than a victory.

Perhaps with the strength of an airship, to fight a small team of orcs, it is nothing to win, but it is quite embarrassing to lose. But people's hearts are often not that complicated; a plausible excuse can change people's mood.

Anyway Ezio needs a win. Maybe it's not a big deal to wipe out a small orc squad, but they also rescued a small number of people. A group of large troops in charge of rescue will never be distracted to take care of the minority.

And this success also made Ezio face up to a small loophole in the entire rescue plan. That is, like the group of children in front of them, the number of people in trouble is too small to be rescued by a large force.

Are there many such people? In fact, Ezio's investigation today has found many such people. Most of them hid in remote places with few people, and because they were not on the route of the demon coalition forces to suppress them from the beginning, they have survived until now.

It's just that Aijiou doesn't think that these people, like the children rescued today, can be directly included in the scope of the targets to be rescued. Maybe there really are some masters who hide from the outside world, not only can they be self-sufficient, but they have not been discovered by the devil.

If I really contact such people rashly, I run the risk of exposing them.

As for those who really need to be rescued, Ezio believes that there are quite a few. How to identify the difference between the two, and how to safely rescue the most people in the shortest time, there is no standard procedure for these, and if you follow everything, you will never make mistakes.

This is an action for which there is neither standard answer nor time for proper planning. And like the entire rescue plan, everyone agreed that this was a one-chance operation.

After one time, the demon coalition will never continue to let these people linger under their siege. Even if it can be preserved, the chances of traps are bound to increase greatly. Even if you still want to carry out rescue at that time, the difficulty and risk may also increase to an unacceptable level.

There will be such anxiety, which stems from a feeling that Ezio cannot express to other people.

Since crossing the Fengdi Mountains, Ezio has always felt that he is being watched. Who is watching? have no idea. But he can be sure that as long as he neglects a certain detail, he will definitely pay an unbearable price.

The peace in front of me does not mean that it will always be so smooth. Ezio didn't want to be the first experiment chosen by demons and orcs when they found a way to deal with airships.

After having an idea in his mind, Ezio threw the group of children to the care of the rough men of the Marine Corps, and called the leaders of each group to discuss.

Things like this are not what he thinks alone. First, the entire airship needs to reach a consensus before fighting with the boss who is in charge of this rescue mission.

If not, do it in private. It's okay to be regarded as a missing person, but you should cry if you are regarded as a defector.

And another scruple is that although they didn't experience any battles throughout the day today, everyone's nerves were tense all day long for the mission. In the end, although I still went to save a group of people, I was more or less prepared to call it a day, so I wanted to let myself go.

If you turn around and have to go on a small rescue mission alone, whether everyone can survive is also a problem. If the action is risky due to lack of energy and more lives are lost, then it is better to retreat here.

However, the enthusiasm of the crowd was far better than Ezio's imagination. In a state of excitement, and stimulated by the small victory of the Marine Corps, everyone's enthusiasm for continuing the rescue mission did not need to be provoked by Ezio, and some people planned to make such suggestions.

But when the matter was reported to the commander-in-chief of the rescue mission, there was a different change.

The veteran of the Haider Empire still insisted on the requirement of limited time assembly. Unless there are special circumstances, the airship that goes forward must choose to retreat and leave the mission.

The reason is also very simple, the gathering of a large force may not be able to rescue all the trapped people at the gathering point~www.wuxiamtl.com~ So what is the point of spreading our efforts to save those scattered humans?

Instead of wasting that bit of energy and strength, it is better to look for those large gathering points and save one more.

Besides, if those small places can survive most of the winter, they will have a chance to hide until the humans counterattack. There is no need to remind the devil where there are people hiding.

Secondly, if such a thing is allowed, then most airships choose to rescue these lone birds, but no one will go to the gathering places with a large number of people to be rescued. As a result, it took the same time and risk to save fewer people. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse.

Although this kind of reason extinguished everyone's enthusiasm a little bit, it cannot be denied that there was a reason for it.

But the veteran wasn't entirely unkind.

He emphasized that only the airships that are required to go out for reconnaissance can be organized into the rescue force if they arrive before the time limit. If it is impossible to arrive, it will be considered as special circumstances and free movement is allowed.

In fact, this implies that if you decide what you want to do, you are responsible for it yourself. He didn't let go.

After Ezio got the reply, he made a decision immediately.
