Chapter 1619 Remnants of the Field Office
The trouble of the State of Emergency Committee is of course not just the loss of Port Gloren, Black Man City, Iron Rose Fortress and Daroshure Fortress. In addition, one-third of the main force of the fleet was lost in the Hilren Aerial Corridor, and of course it was not a group of students who insisted on disgusting people in Dugu Fort. Mobile hps: As a ruling institution, foreign enemies have never been a major matter of life and death, at least not the most priority. If you can't even settle the inside, you have to let him go... The ruling classes in all dynasties must have such a similar understanding of this issue.
At present, the federal government is very uneasy. Almost every day controlled by the State of Emergency Committee, there are "rebellions" of varying sizes, even the private areas of major clans are no exception. And Elichar, who has millions of citizens, is now like a blow-out pot placed under the sun in the summer of the dog days. In theory, as long as the most basic safety measures are taken, they should not be b... However, do you dare to sit up?
This is also impossible. You should know that large transport ships coming from the ground have arrived at the port for a whole month. The market is getting more and more depressed, and prices of food, cloth, tin oil, candles and other necessities are soaring. The citizens of the capital can watch their savings decrease day by day in a visible way, and their dissatisfaction with the State of Emergency Committee is also increasing.
Of course, since the clans of the State of Emergency Committee are going to coup... I mean, the initial preparations must be very sufficient. They have already stockpiled a considerable amount of strategic materials such as food. The reason why they did not put them into the market to calm prices is that they are not greedy for white gloves and profiteers with aristo backgrounds, at least not only that. The more reason is that in the Orso Central Sky District where Elichar is located, in addition to more than one million citizens, there are more than 100,000 troops controlled by the clans. Even if they are private soldiers, mercenaries and second-line soldiers, they are still the most powerful military force in the Federation. With them, the State of Emergency Committee has the capital to control the most densely populated areas of the central area. There must be no shortage of their salary, rewards and supplies. In this way, the major figures of the State of Emergency Committee will certainly not dare to use their strategic reserves at will.
All the above problems have the consequences.
Nivea Linge, holding a pack of fruit snacks bought from his favorite store, walked with Lim on the streets of downtown Elichar. Less than one-tenth of the familiar shops on the street are still open, and there are not one hundred pedestrians, but not everyone has moved away. The two girls' perception abilities are extraordinary, so they can naturally easily sense the atmosphere in nearby houses. Obviously, in such a very messy moment, most citizens in ordinary communities are not as heartless as slums. If they can go out, they will try not to go out.
"Now even the roasted apples and rock candy hawthorn in Four Seasons Square have increased to a bag of silver coins, and there is a purchase restriction every day!"
"Yeah." Lim was eating seriously with a skewer of grilled apples.
"And don't you think the taste is much worse?"
"Really..." Lim nodded.
"The boss said that he used to use fresh red snow apples produced in the Dragon Claw Peninsula and the golden nectar of Closbell, but now he can only use his own orchard." Nicole said with a bitter face.
“It’s still delicious.”
"You're so easy to pass on... and so, the red robes that came to collect food just now are really annoying. The family clearly has six children."
"It's very disgusting!" Lim nodded in agreement.
"Soldiers cannot protect the people but have to exploit the lives of life-saving rations. That is a bad party that is worse than the bandits, so they should be defeated!"
"Catch down!"
"If I had been the same as before, I would have defeated the guys in red and replaced the food for the family. But in this way, the family would definitely be retaliated in the future."
“It will definitely be.”
"So we killed them all and threw them into the sea of clouds, and then secretly sent the food back. The bad guys above couldn't find the target of revenge, right?"
“Not found.”
"Lim, have we grown up?"
"Yes."
"If you don't have a expressionless face from beginning to end and lick the roasted apples with a pair of dead fish eyes, I really think you are praising me... Oh, forget it. Anyway, Lu Lu is right, they will be finished in a while."
"Yes." Lim swallowed the last piece of apple and threw the wooden sign in the garbage dump next to her.
"But if we wait for them to finish themselves, the citizens of Elichar will be in great trouble. This is why Lu Lu asked us to come." Nicole said again.
I know, so who are you explaining this to? Lim glanced at her companion, still expressionless, but maybe she thought so.
Two very beautiful girls were eating snacks while swaggering and exchanging uncontented chats while passing by a patrol of about ten people, but the team was completely unresponsive. However, Limdo looked at them and looked at the wide street intersection in the distance. A small watchtower and a checkpoint had been built at the intersection of the vast streets. It was obviously a temporary fortification made by magic, which seemed to accommodate at least twenty or thirty people. Putting the watchtower here can suppress and monitor the surrounding five or six blocks. Anyway, no one wants to go out, and there is really no need to consider issues that affect traffic.
"It looks quite energetic, but it's not very good at fighting," said Nicole.
"Absolute." Lim said, thinking about it, probably because she felt that her relationship with the elf girl now should be considered a best friend. It is not good to always have one or two words, so she added a very proud sentence: "It's not as good as I met before."
"Hey, even if the park's group is under the standards of Lu Lu's subordinates, they can still be selected as the flag guard group. Although this group looks very glamorous, I'm afraid it can't beat the group of traffickers I met when I took Lu Lu to Gloren eighteen years ago." Nicole said: "But then again, it's fine if they wear armor, why do they still wear green sleeves?"
"Security officer."
"ah?"
"The military police team with black robes and iron armor, the garrison army with red robes and green sleeves with leather robes and security forces." Lim explained seriously: "It was all Lu Xi said."
"...I know, I also know that in addition to the military police, the so-called garrison troops and public security forces are all made up of mercenaries and gangsters. I just want to know why the public security team wears green sleeves... Uh, forget it." Nicole knew that this conversation was destined to be no nutrition, so she ended it on her own initiative.
They have now walked around in a secluded alley, with an open small door in front of them. Under the small door is a narrow step passage that can only accommodate one person, but they don’t know how many layers there are to lead there. The dilapidated small bar sign hung listlessly on a rusty iron rod, and it feels like it may fall off at any time.
"The place Lu Lu said should be here, right?" Nicole looked carefully at the words on the signboard: "Well, the Black Tide Bar should be here, it looks suspicious."
"Go down." Lim said.
They went down the stairs one after another, and a few minutes later they saw a thick iron door.
Nicole walked forward and knocked a few times, but no one responded. She knocked a few more times, but still no response. After waiting for half a minute, the elf girl sighed and pressed her hand on the door. The slender and tough vines quickly drilled out of the sleeves of her robe. These snake-like vines were wandering on the iron door, and soon opened the dust on the door, found a small keyhole, and then suddenly drilled in.
"Crack!" The door opened like this. Then, the two girls seemed to hear a nervous scream from the inside, but they were quickly suppressed. They could instantly feel the overly depressing and dull atmosphere in the room, as if the air inside had frozen into a solid that could not breathe.
The girls exchanged glances. Lim seemed to have an understanding of Nicole's eyes, and nodded seriously, then a charge directly squeezed Nicole away and crashed into the room.
"I don't mean that! And what should I do if the enemy notices it when things get big?" The elf girl just thought so, and heard a series of screams and rushed in.
Fortunately, when she rushed into the room, she found that the area of the room was much larger than she thought, about 100 square meters, and the long bar divided the house in two halves. There were seven or eight round tables and chairs on one side, and a simple but wide wine cabinet on the other side. There was a semicircular small stage in one corner of the room, with a large harp that looked like it was not a high-end product.
This is an ordinary tavern that can be seen everywhere, specially prepared for working people and ordinary adventurers. Of course, this kind of place is often the starting point for a certain heroic legend, so it is not surprising that some stories will happen.
The situation inside the house was far less tragic than expected. Three lying on the ground was moaning, and one struggling was embedded in the wine cabinet. Of course, there were neither dead nor even seriously injured or disabled. Even a stubborn girl like Lim, her actions were no longer as light or heavy as before.
In addition, there were seven or eight people holding sharp blades, surrounding Lim as if they were facing a great enemy, so nervous that they didn't even dare to let out a breath.
"So, wouldn't it be better for you to open the door at the beginning?" Nicole said helplessly, waved his hand casually, and the door behind him closed on the spot with a "bang".
This scene was really like the preparations before killing people to silence them, so everyone present was shocked. Two younger ones even showed a hint of despair, and then slowly turned into some kind of determination.
This kind of tragic expression is not unfamiliar with. Those martyrs who were preparing to put their lives on the altar were probably like this before their sacrifice. So when one of the young men gritted their teeth and took out a scroll, the elf girl suddenly felt a little disappointed. She was so beautiful, kind and so cute, and she was actually regarded as a big villain by these people.
The elf girl casually held a virtual grip, and the scroll in the other party's hand flew into her: "... The scroll of Fire Cloud Technique is opened in such a place. Is it because I want to die with us? So, they are not enemies at all."
The young man showed a desperate expression.
"This is No. 187 Bullfighting Lane, the legendary Blackbeard Captain's Bar, right?" Nicole said.
"Absolute." Lim answered first without waiting for the person opposite, "I have confirmed it three times."
"I didn't ask you... Well, anyway, this is still the secret safe house of the Field Office in Elichar, right?"
Everyone in the bar looked at each other. This time, even the oldest one looked last year, showed a desperate expression.
"The little girl is really amazing! But we are the only one here, so you can listen to it. But if you want to question the other companions, you can't imagine it!" A half-elf-like woman with a brown-black skin, a look of magic, dressed as a wine girl in a small bar sneered, and her face appeared with a martyr's high spirit and fearlessness: "Comrades, fight with the eagle claws! Fight to death! Long live freedom! Long live the Federation!"
"Long live freedom!"
The two men closest to Lim pounced over. They knew they were definitely not their opponents, but at this moment they rushed out with fearless aura... and then they were beaten back with Lim waving his small fist and punched him one by one.
"Uh, it was Lu Lu who asked me to come... No, so don't be so excited..."
"It was General Luxi Lingo Berencaster who sent us here!" An anxious voice rang out in the corner of the room.
This sentence finally made the sanity of the soldiers who were ready to die for their ideal battle. The elf girl couldn't help but look in surprise in the direction of the sound. It was the exhaust port of the underground bar, but a huge fat cat struggled to squeeze out its furry round face from there, but her chubby body was still stuck in the ventilation duct.
"Mr. Panarcis, are you coming faster than us?" Nicole greeted the fat cat happily, and then took out a small dried fish from her pocket.
"Because the ladies are fighting with the enemy to avoid pursuers, I can go straight. And there are very reliable guides. There are many wild cats in Elichar, but they are all very good at finding places... Well, this is not the point. In short, please listen to me. On behalf of His Excellency Luxi Lingo Berencaster, I hope to speak with the people responsible for you. I know that you are all survivors of the Field Office in the coup and fight against the tyranny of the clan. Because of this, you must unite all the strength! Now, General Berencaster is the only hope of the federal people."
The fat cat said serious words while moving his body hard. It took him a long time to squeeze out his body from the small passage, then stepped on the air and threw it on the ground with a "bar" sound. Fortunately, because the meat and the cat were good enough, they were not injured. After struggling for a few times, they stood up again with a move that was more than ten times more than an ordinary cat.
"My name is Parnarsis, the envoy of General Lushi Lingo Berenkast, and I hope to meet Lieutenant General Makarov."
Everyone was silent, not that they had no reaction to Fat Cat's words, but that they were too responsive to his words for a while and didn't know what to say. After a while, the particularly passionate and passionate half-elves' lady scratched her head with some distress: "...This, I should have asked you clearly about your origin and checked your identity. But, look at this cat, I don't know why I didn't even have a little fighting spirit."
"So I was full of fighting spirit when I saw Lim and I? They all said that they were not enemies!" Nicole said.
Using magic to directly break the door and spell disguise, this means hostility! Isn't this common sense? Miss Half-Elf, or female public relations lady of Half-Daw, glanced at Lim again, and said in a deep voice: "...If you want to see Mr. Makarov, you must put down all your weapons and blindfold your eyes and mouth, but you certainly won't agree? So, you can wait here. Just Mr. Cat and me, can you?"
