Sherrod's hand was always tightly holding the hilt of the sword in his hand. He seemed to want to take action to protect the residents he loved so much.

"Don't take action." Su Mingan issued the second order after the action: "Even if you have the ability to save one person, even if you have the ability to lead the people around you to rush out a certain distance, even if you have the ability to reach out to the fallen person,

Helping hand..."

Su Mingan put the loudspeaker aside to prevent his voice from being heard: "——You are not allowed to take action."

"ah--!"

A stream of hot blood spurted up, the core layer was also penetrated by the sea monster, and the blood of a soul hunter was sprinkled on Xie Lude's face.

"...Captain." He almost squeezed out this sentence from his throat.

The soul hunter's body fell at his feet, and he did not stop. Almost as if he was stepping on a sharp knife, he continued to take a step forward with difficulty, leaving the man's body behind.

When he saw such a tragic scene, his throat was as dry as a desert, and his mouth seemed to be on fire. He even felt the taste of blood filling his mouth.

As long as he uses a little power of light, he can save a resident who is unable to walk due to a broken limb. As long as he gathers the energy to draw a sword, he can block a sea monster that pounces on someone's neck... He clearly needs only to reach out and

He can save many people, and the chasm between life and death in the eyes of others should not be a problem in his eyes.

He is an upright, benevolent, and kind-hearted knight of light. He was born with a strong sense of honor and was born to protect the people. But now, he can only watch them die one by one in front of his eyes, but he wants to remain indifferent.

This was more painful than cutting him with a knife.

"You can't take action." Su Mingan's tone was extremely calm: "Your light energy cannot be recovered in time and must be saved until the final battle with the Siren King - so, even if you watch people die in front of you, you still

You can't take action. Because once the war starts, every bit of your energy will be a weapon to suppress the Siren King - and if the Siren King does not die, everyone you have saved will die, including you and me, do you understand?

?”

Sherrod took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down.

But at this moment, all he breathed in was the smell of blood.

"what happened to your hand?"

Only then did Su Mingan notice that his palm was wrapped with a piece of cloth. The color was black and red. It was obvious that it was the blood that was constantly seeping out from Sherlude.

"The injuries I sustained when I rescued Miss Lin Yin and fought against the Siren King." Xie Lude said.

The Siren King had impersonated Noel before and wanted to deceive Lin Yin. At that time, he took one of her claws with both hands. The wound still cannot heal and poisonous blood has been leaking out.

"It doesn't matter." Su Mingan said: "Nolia's red rose can reshape your body and heal all previous injuries. As long as you ensure that your soul is not affected, you will be fine."

"..." Xie Lude didn't reply.

What he cares about is gradually no longer the prop red rose that can make him a player.

At this time, when he looked at these massacred people, he felt that grief was almost overwhelming him.

But he couldn't draw even a single sword, and he couldn't save even one person.

Because he can't be sure whether every bit of energy he consumes now will become the last straw that breaks the Siren King's back.

As a Knight of Light,

He cannot do what a knight should do.

He suddenly felt very sad and regretful. It seemed that something was still here and needed his protection.

…

[NPC (Xie Lude) HE ending progress: 70%]

…

Under the blue sea monster, the outermost barrier ruins are getting closer and closer.

After fifteen hellish minutes, the originally mighty team of a thousand people had been reduced to half of its original size.

Countless corpses fell on the white bridge that was being constructed, and the blood dyed it red.

Among them, if you count them carefully, you will find that the number of dead soul hunters is almost equal to that of the residents. It is obvious that the number of residents far exceeds that of the soul hunters, and the soul hunters are the group that is most likely to survive such a chaotic war.

But unfortunately, the death probability of soul hunters is much higher than that of ordinary residents.

Some of the people watching the battle from high places had already begun to cry. From one thousand to five hundred, this was a very conspicuous difference in numbers. They could not confirm whether their relatives and friends had died in that long battle.

But now it seems that the team is in good progress. There is still one-third of the way to the finish line, and half of the team members are still there. Now it seems that arrival is inevitable.

The mercenary player Sirius, who was standing on the wall of the royal city and looking into the distance using his far-sighted skills, looked away.

"I'm starting to regret that I didn't participate in it." He half-joked to his teammates next to him.

"Yes." His teammates nodded: "I heard about the mission rewards, the title of 5% combat power bonus, double experience. One-half mortality rate, I think it is acceptable. With our strength, it must be

It’s the half that survives.”

"Luna and the others are all alive. If we had participated, we would certainly not have died on the road." said the female teammate next to her.

They looked at each other, and then sighed with regret, regretting why they had not set foot on that city wall just now.

"You should believe the first player. As soon as he said his speech, I wanted to go up there." said the team of players standing next to them on the city wall together.

"I was wary. I thought that he actually needed to speak so hard, and actually needed to incite other people's emotions so powerfully, then this cross-ocean operation must be so deceiving that he needed to use such a big move... But I didn't

Come to think of it, it was really just a routine speech." A trendy green-haired girl said.

"No one knows what he was thinking... maybe he just wanted to boost morale before the war."

"Oh, it's useless to talk about it now. They've all rushed out so far that we can't catch up in time."

"well……"

Previously, they thought that this operation would require bait and cannon fodder, and that all the soul hunting ministers with such high combat power would be needed... It must be a life-or-death mission. But now when they saw half of the people still alive, they immediately

He substituted himself among the surviving people.

In the world game, the difficulty of the dungeons increases in sequence. Once every point is not utilized in time and strength is not accumulated in time in the early stage, a vicious cycle will form later on and the tasks encountered will become increasingly difficult.

They regret that they missed a good opportunity for advancement.

…

"Ding dong!"

Hearing the upgrade prompt again, Su Mingan had already reached level 3-8.

The dungeon does not encourage players to gain experience by killing monsters. It encourages them to search for clues, follow the plot, and complete tasks to gain experience. Therefore, the system does not give much experience for killing monsters.

But even though it wasn't much, with this kind of experience bonus, he quickly rose to two levels in just fifteen minutes.

Risks come with opportunities, and this has always been the case in the dungeon system. No matter how difficult the journey is, the improvement will be greater.

He didn't know if he could advance to level four after successfully clearing this copy.

One step first, every step first.

If he is promoted to level four before the start of the eighth world, he will enjoy absolute level suppression for all other top players. If the eighth world is a competitive world copy for top players, if he is promoted to level four, for

Your own decisive victory will be quite advantageous.

During this period, he also received news from Lin Yin. She said that she had the skill of breath tracking and felt Sherrod's sister in the East District.

Su Mingan had already planned to take Xie Lude to find his sister when this operation was over.

"Lord Su Lin!"

On the side, Duoya, covered in blood, squeezed into the inner circle.

The residential area she was in was already in chaos and seemed much looser than before. After all, many people had died.

Her focus is no longer on managing them. The residents have already played a sufficient role in attracting firepower, and now she relies more on the defense of the soul hunter.

"Front, I can't hear any movement from Carlocha!" She pointed to the loudspeaker and headset hanging on her face, with an anxious look on her face.

She had noticed that the silent figure of the Soul Hunting Minister at the front had disappeared into the vast group of sea monsters.

"I suspect that he fell behind, or ran too slowly, and got mixed into the crowd. With his strength, he probably wouldn't have died on the road just now... The distance is now close, everything is fine, we are

Shouldn't you fix it and look for it in the team..." Duoya's face was full of anxiety.

Su Mingan glanced at her.

He held the loudspeaker on the side of his face and brought the loudspeaker side close to his mouth.

"Keep going, don't stop," he said.

His voice was very calm, but it was particularly obvious amidst the sounds of fighting. After it was heard, the originally stagnant team immediately sped up.

"Su Lin - you -" Duo Ya even lost the awe of "adult".

"Carlo Cha is dead." Su Mingan answered her.

Her flushed face paused, and then collapse and disbelief appeared in her eyes at the same time.

A very fast tear fell from the corner of her eye, and soon fell on the bridge covered with blood.

"In this situation, no matter how powerful a person is, he may be killed by a sudden attack." Su Mingan said. Just five minutes ago, he saw with his own eyes that Kalocha was bitten by three sea monsters because he rushed too fast.

The back of the neck.

Even if Kalocha is a minister with more than a thousand combat capabilities and can instantly kill dozens of sea monsters in front of him, he cannot save his life when he is suddenly attacked at the fatal point.
