Chapter 289: unexpected
A few days later, Earl Pollock's army withdrew from the Norma line and returned to the city of Pollock to garrison.
At that time, the panda was taking his apprentices to hunt down a dangerous monster in the forest outside the city - its race is unknown, but it is known that it attacked a passenger carriage, and the driver, passengers and the horse pulling the carriage were all eaten to pieces wreckage, the scene is very tragic.
Senior adventurers from the Adventurer's Association carefully surveyed the scene, but still couldn't be sure what it was. It should be very big, and in terms of the shape of the footprints, it may be larger than a buffalo-for this kind of forest adjacent to human settlements, this type of monster is already amazing. But the strange thing is that its weight is not heavy, the depth of the footprints is slightly shallow, and even if it ate three large living people and took a horse, it did not increase its weight much.
This is the key evidence why senior adventurers judge that this is a beast rather than a beast.
The means of quickly digesting food and converting it into energy in the body is unique to Warcraft, and no beast has such an ability to defy the sky.
After confirming this, the senior adventurer led the team back to the city-he was almost seventy years old, and his eyesight and experience were fine, but this old man who had to walk with someone to help him swung his sword into battle, like a twenty-year-old man. It was too hard for him to fight like that a few years ago.
The "Novice on the Road" team took over the task and searched for three days in the forest before finding the guy. It has the body of a lion, but has a goat head and a tail that looks like a poisonous snake. It is the famous synthetic beast Chimera.
For this famous synthetic beast, pandas are not very eye-catching. The so-called not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods, everyone is a synthetic beast, but the synthetic beast made by the cold wind is more beautiful and more obedient. As long as an order is given, there will be no hesitation in going through fire and water, and it will never be random. Attacking creatures other than the target - Cold Wind In order to prove how safe the synthetic beasts he made, he once ordered them to hunt in the grasslands near the castle, and told them to only attack goblins. A few days later, these synthetic beasts came back. After a magical test, they only had goblin blood on their bodies. Neither rabbits nor wolves had ever killed a single one.
In contrast, the Chimera is not. They are fierce and rebellious, thinking about running away all day, and if they are not careful, they will escape from the laboratory to do evil. Moreover, all Chimeras have different degrees of schizophrenia, ranging from good to bad personalities, and in serious cases, they directly have several personalities, which brings great trouble to the controller.
If the Chimera had any advantages, it would probably be able to fight. The combat effectiveness of this kind of thing is indeed extraordinary. A mature Chimera can probably fight against five or so senior adventurers. In contrast, those wolf-shaped synthetic beasts of Cold Wind are much weaker.
However, if there is a choice between these two synthetic beasts, Panda feels that as long as it is not insane, it will choose cold wind products.
Faced with this Chimera, the panda was cautiously alert, watching the battle between the apprentices and it. This battle was fought for a long time, from the twilight of the sky until the sun was over, and finally Chimera was exhausted and lost in stamina.
Because the apprentices had almost lost their strength, the panda was almost alone in dragging it out of the forest. They stopped a passing van before taking it back to Pollock City, which was almost supper time when they returned.
The one-legged president of the Adventurers Association deeply appreciated the achievements of the "Rookie on the Road" team and praised them greatly. Seeing that they were tired and hungry, I invited them to have dinner here.
During dinner, the president said happily: "The army of Pollock City came back in the morning, now we are more at ease."
Panda was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Aren't they guarding the Norma line? Why did they come back?"
"There are so many troops in the Norma line of defense, there are not many of us, and there are not many of us." The president said nonchalantly, "Also, the Thracian assassins are all in the city to kill the family massacre, who has the heart in Norma. The defense line is fighting!"
Panda thinks about this as well, so he doesn't say anything anymore, but his heart is always a little uneasy.
After dinner, when he returned to the hotel to rest, he talked about it on the chat channel.
The traversers discussed a lot. Most people's views were similar to those of the one-legged president. A few people felt that Earl Pollock did not understand the overall situation.
After talking, everyone started quarreling - this kind of quarrel is the norm in chat channels, and it is also one of the adjustments in everyone's daily life.
After the quarrel, Wang Tuhao contacted Panda privately.
"Perhaps I am unfounded, or my thinking is dark," he said, "but, during the discussion, I thought of a possibility - if Thrace sends assassins to other cities, those Will the lords of the city also withdraw? There is no need for all the lords to withdraw, as long as about half of the lords withdraw, the Norma line of defense may not be able to hold."
Panda's face changed greatly. Although he also felt that Wang Tuhao was a little worried, when he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help worrying.
"So...what should we do?" he asked hastily.
Wang Tuhao's answer made him a little frustrated: "No way, for the lords, the security of their own territory is definitely more important than the security of the federation. It's like in the economic crisis, the big capitalists are trying to transfer their assets by all means, instead of generously sending money to them. National disasters are the same. Human nature is like that, you can't expect people to choose to harm themselves and others without external coercive forces."
"But...if the federation is over, won't they be unlucky?"
"Several core forces may be unlucky, but not the core ones such as Earl Pollock. The federation is over, they are nothing more than surrendering and changing the country, whether it is Morai or Thrace above them, it doesn't matter to them. The difference, what will happen?"
Panda's eyes widened: "This... how can this be done! It's too disrespectful!"
"How can I explain this kind of thing... Let me take myself as an example. Our family has investments in all major countries in the world, with more than 10 billion yuan, and some less than 1 billion and 800 million yuan. Among these investments, there are large Some of them have achieved financial independence through funds, and no matter what the father's group is, it will not affect them. Several of my legal and illegal brothers and sisters and I are the only beneficiaries and top managers of these funds. Father once told After us, no matter what happens, we can't go back to China together, and we can't gather in one place... You see, our family is just a businessman's family, and there is a state to control us, and it's still like this. Mo Lai Commercial Federation This country is not strong at all, and it has almost no binding force on the big nobles, so what will they choose, isn't it obvious at a glance?"
Panda sighed deeply, still unable to let go.
Early the next morning, he set off with his apprentices, left Pollock City, and headed towards the Norma line of defense.
