Chapter 1544: Another Accident

The one-night rescue was not always as smooth as the first one. During the process, there was also a person who was so hungry that he took a few sharpened bamboo poles and clamored to hijack the airship and dominate everything.

Or she was holding a child who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and the woman who looked like the mother was yelling curses. Using all kinds of vicious and embarrassing words, or kidnapping remarks to seize the moral high ground, everyone in the airship will have to pay an inexplicable price.

Not to mention that there are more Marines on the ground than the opponent. Are the combat capabilities of both sides the same level? Can we use it for comparison? These people tried to control an army by turning against foreigners.

If it could happen, everyone on the Twin Griffins would die. He would be blackmailed by a few civilians, and he would not even be qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

As expected, facing such a person, Ezio did not wait for the airship to land, and jumped with the Marines into the airship's rear cabin door accurately. Leaving behind a place full of stunned living people.

In fact, Ezio was the only one who could perform a precise vertical leap. Other young men from the Karlsruhe Empire have the skills to change direction and exert force in the air. Although it is not as flexible as flying, you can still adjust your posture and direction.

As for those left behind, no one has sympathy. It is true that fallen people also have the value of being saved, but that is something that should only be considered after all the good people have been saved and there is still some energy left.

Don't say that time doesn't allow it. After rescuing the good guys, it may be too late to go back and save these bastards. In fact, in addition to time, the space of the airship does not allow it.

The limited capacity and load may not even be able to carry the good people worth saving, so how could we waste time on a bunch of bastards? This is not to mention whether such a person will settle down after boarding the airship, or whether he will become a hidden danger.

In line with the idea of ​​being responsible for the airship, Ezio did not hesitate to get rid of these people. Others did not dare to say anything too unpleasant on the surface, but privately they all secretly applauded.

However, no matter how fast the Twin Gryphon is, no matter how much time it saves on traveling, it can't cover too many places and save enough people in one night. Before the time limit, the people they rescued could not fill up the airship's activity space, but the large space in the back cabin was full of people.

But if we don't return, we won't be able to catch up with the official rescue operation. He could only put his desire to save people into his subsequent actions. But just when they were counting the time to return, another accident happened.

Ezio, who returned to the command room, originally planned to take a good rest in order to cope with the big mission in the future. Unexpectedly, the boy guarding the radar table in the middle of the night disturbed him while he was in a daze.

"General, there seems to be someone down there. Do you want to go down?"

Ezio, who came back to his senses, did not refuse directly. If you can do it easily, it's not impossible. But he still said cautiously: "Let's take a look at the situation first and make sure it's a person? It seems that this location has not been recorded before."

While adjusting the function of the Arcane Eye, the radar operator said: "According to previous records, there is indeed no one here. Maybe they came from other places, or they are hiding in some special place."

The arcane eye is not omnipotent, and there are ways to shield it. So it’s not surprising that some fish slipped through the cracks.

Ezio, who was very aware of this magical flaw, was not surprised, but he still carefully confirmed: "Is there a picture of the ground?"

"Here we come." After saying hello, the real scene of the ground was shown on the map table.

In the picture, the night that has entered the second half of the night is inexplicably darker. In the night mode of the Arcane Eye, several people on the ground stepped on the thick snow and trudged forward.

It looks like a family, some big and some small, some boys and some girls. The tallest and strongest man walked at the end of the team, staring at everyone and not letting anyone fall behind.

But it feels a little weird to say that this is a family. Everyone looking at the map table felt this way, but no one said it out loud.

In the end, Ezio made the decision and said: "Let the Marines make contact. I won't go down this time. I'll pick someone up along the way and make up for the wasted time, right?" The latter sentence was asking about the specific command of the twin griffins. The captain of the ship.

This baron, who came from a family affiliated with Kawei, made some advance arrangements when arranging the plan. Although some time was wasted, it was still very easy to meet up with the main force before the time limit. So he was not embarrassed and nodded to Ezio.

"Then do it." With four simple words, there were naturally adjutants who performed their respective duties to convey Ezio's order to those who should know.

He himself leaned back on a high stool next to the map table. Although he didn't close his eyes, he was still breathing calmly. Although fatigue cannot be easily resolved, it is not difficult to reduce some of the side effects of discomfort and lack of concentration.

Others did not continue to disturb Ezio. They all knew how much the commander had done that night.

Even between each rescue, there is a small window period. But in such a trivial time, it is difficult to truly rest well. Therefore, others can only give this hard-working commander a better rest environment.

However, the opposite happened. Ezio felt that he had just been in a fugue for two minutes when he heard the young man guarding the radar exclaim: "Something happened! The Marines were attacked! Someone has fallen, someone has fallen!"

Ezio suddenly jumped up and stood up from the high stool. After glancing at the ground conditions on the map table, several members of the Marine Corps did fall to the ground, staining the snow beneath them red. He immediately rushed out and said at the same time:

"Ask the remaining Marines to go out armed and throw out my weapons. The side hatch of the airship is unlocked."

It is necessary to let people go down to support you, and you unlock the side hatch because it is faster to go down that way. It would take too much time to take the inner passage of the airship to the rear cabin.

After a while, all the Marines jumped out of the Twin Griffins and rushed towards the ground. The lamp-shaped magic props brought by the advance team are the best guiding lights. It's impossible to run in the wrong direction.

But in just such a short time, all the advance troops had fallen to the ground. When Ezio and others landed, it was confirmed that there was only one real enemy. The other women, young and old, are just bait.

These decoys were also frightened and their legs became weak after witnessing the battle. They could only hold each other and tremble. It seems more likely that there was coercion rather than collusion.

The man who fell to the ground looked seriously injured, but there was still a chance of rescue. The person who did it didn't leave. It was as if he was waiting for the support team to arrive and was ready to continue to deal with the people.

Ezio and others who landed on the ground did not directly rescue the people because the injured were all within the enemy's attack range. If you enter rashly, you may become a target.

Everyone pulled out their own melee weapons and spread out to form an encirclement network, surrounding the enemies in front of them. At the same time, they also relied on the faint light to examine this unexpectedly powerful enemy.

The opponent was a strong orc who was taller and more muscular than a normal human, but not obese yet. You must know that there are many "roshan" level beings among the strong orcs, and their strength is frightening. But such people are much inferior in speed and flexibility.

A thick cloak is used to protect against wind and snow. The armor worn inside was very orc-style, consisting of large pieces of iron sheet strung together to cover the vital parts. If one piece is not thick enough, stack more pieces.

The weapons used were two large hatchets with curved blades and thick backs, which were as long as an arm. The blade had many notches and curls, but no one would doubt that the hatchet, which was still stained with blood, was lethal enough to injure someone.

The most conspicuous feature is that there is a gash on the left cheek from the corner of his mouth, making him look like he is sneering.

As for facial features, Ezio admitted that he would not appreciate the beauty of orcs. But the terrifying appearance of the person in front of him reminded him of someone. So he asked: "Are you...half?"

"Ezio Augustus." The orc raised the hatchet in his right hand, pointed at the person who had just asked the question, and said, "The only apprentice William recognized, right."

"It seems you are right. William said that if anyone can take away the title of 'Sword Master' from him, it must be you."

William Greco, the White Sword Master, is one of the primary school's official martial arts instructors. Basically, he has to be in the holy city of Estari and when he is in the mood, he will give advice to the person asking for advice. He is a senior teacher who is rare but hard to find.

But Ezio is different. It's not that he won William's favor because of his background of being close to a certain magician and the old black dragon. It's just that this kid is not afraid of strangers, dares to pester people, and he does have his talent.

William's teaching was completely eloquent. There are no tricks to break down, nor are there any techniques for exerting force, it all depends on feeling. It is this kind of person who can directly understand Tai Chi's Tiezi Jue after seeing the Möbius strip given by someone. This is a completely unreasonable scene in someone's eyes.

Also because this method of understanding and teaching is so weird, no one can understand what William is teaching. Being able to understand a little bit of it will definitely benefit you a lot. Only Ezio not only understood William's teachings, he could even reproduce its contents.

Just like the less talkative Kaya and the shy Marquise Balan, the two actually became close friends. It can only be attributed to the alignment of the radio waves, and it happened like this. The master-disciple pair, William and Ezio, are in the same situation.

And because Ezio did learn everything William taught him. Therefore, the White Sword Master did not deny Ezio's identity as his apprentice, and even introduced him as a confidant.

Yes, this guy's idea is so weird. Unlike others who would try their best to trick or exploit them after teaching apprentices, William and Ezio had become lifelong friends across the age spectrum and talked about everything.

Although William was quite talkative in the past, he would only talk about the local customs and customs he saw, and there would never be anything about himself. It's like they would be particularly taboo about it.

But Ezio was able to learn many of the sword master's experiences from William's mouth. Neither Lin, nor the Demon Prince Azad, nor even William's many close friends knew about this. This shows how precious it is.

It was in the private experiences of these white sword masters that Ezio learned about a very special orc he encountered when William was traveling in the underground world—Half. A strong half-orc who looked very much like him and had the chance to replace him as the Sword Master.
