Quadruple split.

Chapter 244
"Are you crazy!"

This was the first sentence Xia Lian snarled after meeting the low-level paladin Kurin. She glanced angrily at the twenty or so paladins and a dozen low-level professionals who were mixed with players. And seven or eight strong men who can be seen as civilians at a glance, pointed at the unlucky guy in front of him and said loudly: "They are all tired of living, aren't they? Only with more than a hundred knights can I be sure that I can cover the dozens of people behind me." You are a commoner, but you are promising. With less than [-] people in total, you dare to walk back with more than [-] refugees, and you are still walking on the road! There are ordinary people in the escort team! Your chivalry @ Is it #%?! Is your head in #￥%?"

Knight Culin was trained so arrogantly that he didn't dare to show his air. He kept hanging his head like a wronged quail. He was also unlucky. Although he was not the leader of the team, he was the only paladin of the Aurora Sect in this group. After all, Lian, as the saint of the Aurora Sect, is still too embarrassed to scold believers of other sects, but now she really wants to scold people, so she can only vent on her own knight...

However, Her Royal Highness cannot be blamed for being so angry. After all, the configuration of the team in front of her is too unreasonable. Not only are there too few paladins and low-level professionals who can be used as combat power, but there are even a few with pitchforks in their hands. The civilians with , hoes and big iron sticks, who didn't know it, thought it was the brothers who came out to farm and brought a bunch of people as bodyguards.

In Xia Lian's concept, if a refugee team with more than a hundred people is to be escorted, the guards must have at least the same number of paladins, excluding the knights who are not favored by mutants because of their meager divine power. Let’s not talk about it, low-level professionals and ordinary people are extremely attractive to those monsters, so the number of people is directly proportional to the risk factor. Under such circumstances, actions will inevitably attract a large number of mutants, even if they are all zero. Scattered small groups of monsters will snowball more and more, and if you are not careful, the whole army may be wiped out. Even if you are lucky and can break out of the encirclement... how many civilians will survive?
Xia Lian, who has been dealing with mutants for the past half month, knows this better than anyone else.

So she grabbed the honest man in front of her by the collar and carried him (Kulin knight's race is a dwarf) and sprayed him for five minutes before she finished venting, then threw the dizzy old man to the ground, and turned to the one next to him The lizardman knight of the Justice Sect showed a gentle and generous smile: "Now tell me what's going on~"

The latter took a small half step back with a pale face, and said in a low voice: "Uh, Your Highness, what Lord Tai Luo means is... this area is relatively safe now, and we have dealt with a few things on the way here. Ten mutants, so..."

"Wait a minute!" Xia Lian blinked, and subconsciously pulled her ears: "You said you dealt with dozens of mutants on the way here?"

The other party nodded: "Yes."

Xia Lian was a little stunned: "Just you people?"

The lizard man paladin shook his head: "There are still two healing teams composed of low-level professionals, but they have already returned early..."

"How about casualties?"

"Anton sprained his foot..."

"I didn't ask you this!"

"Uh, then there will be none."

"What do you mean the neighborhood is already relatively safe?"

"Master Tai Luo means, in fact, we started out as three teams with different routes, and those civilians did not come from one place..."

"Then you got together in a daze?"

"No, it's Lord Taylor's arrangement."

"The kid planned the course of action for you in advance?"

"No, it's Lord Taylor's temporary arrangement."

"Huh? Where is Taro?"

"in the city."

"Wait a minute... I'm a little messed up."

"..."

Xia Lian stroked for a while without understanding, and finally looked at the lizard-man paladin with a confused expression on her face: "Let me just say it, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

The latter immediately shook his head: "Don't dare!"

"Well, you're not kidding me, you... these three messy teams got together because of Tai Luo's temporary arrangement, and Tai Luo is in Mida City at the moment." Xia Lian Two blue veins popped out of her forehead, she stared at her tiger, and with a 'boom' sound, she slammed the staff on the ground, and asked with a half-smile: "So he has actually belched and is now buried in the city. Then the soul has not returned to the embrace of the goddess, but is floating around outside the city like a lonely ghost, and will guide you how to fight, right?"

The lizard man was fine at the time, he shivered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and pointed at a few people who were trying to reduce his sense of existence: "It's this...these guys communicated with us on behalf of Lord Tai Luo, and they said they were able to communicate with us. The secret channel through which Master Tai Luo communicates..."

"Oh?" Xia Lian raised her eyebrows, and immediately turned her head to look at the few people: "Let's have a chat~"

Tirion, a half-orc shaman with deep merit and fame: "..."

Robin Weld, a human ranger with deep achievements and fame: "..."

Shi Lezhi, a dwarf priest with deep merit and fame: "..."

A female elf warrior Putao who met the idol's eyes: "Your Highness! Your Highness is looking at me! Ah! Your Highness!!"

Shi Lezhi glanced at Tirion twitchingly: "Your daughter-in-law needs to be cured."

The latter smiled wryly: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it, if she didn't have a brain axis back then, she wouldn't have liked me."

The young (in every sense of the word) Miss Robin Welding looked left and right, and took small steps back, planning to find a time to send a message to Sister Yuying...

Then she crashed into a soft embrace.

"Alas!"

The little girl turned around abruptly, and saw that Her Highness the Holy Maiden was standing prettyly behind her, with a smile in her eyes: "Shall we talk?"

"Uh, okay, yes, of course it's okay." Robin nodded with a dry smile, and a trace of relief appeared inexplicably in his heart.

【Judging from the touch just now, she should be younger than me... Hehehe...】

……

Game time PM17:19
Mida City North Gate

Mo Tan, Yu Chen, and Tai Luo, who looked bewildered, were waiting at the gate of the city.

"His Highness Xia Lian is really coming back soon?" Tai Luo glanced at Mo Tan with some puzzlement, and asked in doubt, "But why didn't I receive any news?"

Mo Tan watched his nose, nose, mouth and heart: "I forgot what I said."

Yuchen was a little bit square, he was stunned for a while before hesitatingly said: "...Uh, yes, it was the goddess who said it!"

"I see." Tai Luo nodded immediately, and then stood there with a serious face and stopped talking.

And the two players next to him secretly communicated through friend messages...

'what should I do!What should I do, Mo Tan!Things are getting bigger! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ'

'Yeah, it's big...'

'I originally wanted to explain the matter to Mr. Tai Luo in the past two days, but it is too late now. I can no longer lie in the name of the goddess when there is a holy lady! OTZ! '

"Yeah, it's too late..."

'Woooo, will we be hanged and beaten by the saintess! ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3'

'Fuck!Does she still have this hobby? ! '

'Uh, probably not, but I'm so good!I really want to hide like a feather warbler!But the two of us can't seem to hide! '

"Don't mention that shameless female assassin, even if you are afraid of being held accountable, you won't go offline directly..."

'I really want Yuan to go offline too! ! ! o(T ヘ To)'

'The boat was naturally straight when it reached the bridge, and we didn't do anything bad. After a while, I will find a way to get rid of the mud. If it goes well, I shouldn't be hanged and beaten. '

'Ah, the holy lady is here ヽ(°Д°)o゜'

A faint figure appeared at the end of the field of vision, and a huge team was slowly marching here, but Tai Luo, who hadn't welcomed the knights back to the city for several days, was very calm, and it wasn't because he had a crush on Mo Tan. The waiters knew what they had done during this period of time, but this simple paladin thought that most of them were brought back by Xia Lian.

【His Royal Highness is really amazing! 】

The mid-level paladin with firm beliefs was thinking so, completely unaware that the other holy lady next to her was already trembling.

After a while, Xia Lian and several knights broke away from the team and walked into the city gate first.

"Yo! They're all very energetic~" The elf saintess greeted them with a smile, she still looked carefree half a month ago, but both Mo Tan and Yu Chen noticed a ray of fatigue in her eyes , the two strangers among the several knights behind him also looked very haggard.

Yu Chen tugged at Xia Lian's sleeve worriedly: "Sister Saint, do you want to take a break first..."

"Hey, it's all right." Xia Lian habitually touched Yu Chen's little head, and said with a smile, "I'll recover after taking a good bath at night, let's go together?"

The latter was dumbfounded at the time: "Hey? One...together or something, don't use it!"

"Tsk tsk, that's such a pity." Xia Lian curled her lips, and then turned to Tai Luo with a serious face: "It's been really hard for you during this time."

Taylor immediately stood up straight, and performed a common etiquette of the Dawn Sect: "It's a matter of duty."

Yu Chen, who had a relatively average psychological quality, began to break out in a cold sweat at that time.

"Hmm~ You're humble, you're so humble." Xia Lian patted Tai Luo's shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile, "Your friends have told me all about it."

Taylor was taken aback: "Those friends of mine?"

Xia Lian raised her eyebrows: "The knights are also full of praise for your adaptability and command level."

Taylor was stunned again: "Response? Command?"

Xia Lian continued to praise: "Yes, I was shocked when I heard that you even started sending civilians out with the rescue team. I didn't expect that not only did there not be any casualties, but the search and rescue efficiency was much faster."

Taylor froze immediately: "Ping... civilians?"

"Yes." Xia Lian nodded, and then glanced at the dwarf paladin next to her: "Is that right, Kulin?"

"That's right, that's right, what Her Majesty the Holy Maiden said is right." Kulin looked at the senior Tai Luo with great admiration, and his tone was full of admiration: "Master Tai Luo's secret method is really too powerful, last time When we encountered those dozens of monsters in Cold Ridge Village, we thought we were going to be martyred. Thanks to your arrangement, we were able to join the other two teams smoothly. Not only did no one, including the civilians, be in danger, but we also wiped out all those monsters. How sudden..."

"Wait a minute!" Tai Luo interrupted him in a dizzy manner, and flashed the words 'confused', 'confused', 'confused', 'puzzled', 'shocked', etc. After a while, he asked, "When did you go to Hanji Village?"

Kulin was taken aback: "The day before yesterday."

Taylor pondered for a while: "Shouldn't your team go to Yingniao Town the day before yesterday?"

"Uh, my lord..." Kulin was even more stunned. He paused, and after repeatedly confirming that he hadn't drunk too much, he said in a low voice: "I've been to Yingniao Town before, and the surviving civilians there already I was rescued. At that time, you asked Fan Di and Luo Ya to lead the team to divert on the way back to the city. Ah yes, there are still two townspeople from Yingniao Town who are with us today. ..."

Tai Luo suddenly began to wonder if he was crazy. He turned around 180° on the spot, and knelt down on the ground with a click. Standing up, shaking his head, he said, "No, no, it's all wrong... Also, how can you let the civilians follow along! What will you do if you encounter danger!? Where has your chivalry gone!"

Kulin froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, then pulled his beard and whispered in an extremely aggrieved voice: "Didn't you ask Her Majesty the Holy Maiden to tell everyone to act like this..."

Taro: "Clam?!"

Yu Chen quickly hid behind Mo Tan, buried her head deeply... I mean she lowered her head deeply.

Kulin nodded like a pounding garlic: "Yes, yes."

Tai Luo's face was pale: "The order to let you go to Cold Ridge Village the day before yesterday was..."

Kulin scratched his big bald head: "It's the old man... Pastor Hei Fan conveyed it to you on your behalf. Didn't you have something to leave that day at the city hall?"

Taylor: "..."

"Hehe~" Xia Lian looked at the two young people in front of her meaningfully: "Is that so?"

Yu Chen: "..."

Mo Tan: "..."

"Okay, go and arrange the civilians first, and then let everyone disband." Xia Lian waved back several paladins behind her, including the bewildered dwarf paladin Kulin, and then looked at Taro with a smile: "So, the secret channels and on-the-spot arrangements that those little guys talked about really have nothing to do with you?"

Tai Luo's face gradually changed from pale to ashen. He gave Mo Tan a rather fierce look, and then took a complicated look at the Forgotten Saintess who he had been following since leaving the City of Light, and nodded slowly. Nodding: "It should have nothing to do with me, but His Highness Wang Yu..."

"Stop talking if it has nothing to do with you~" Xia Lian gave him a sideways glance, then looked at Yu Chen and Mo Tan kindly, showing a smile that didn't have the slightest murderous intent...

"You two... explain, explain?"
