Fishing Druid in Another World

"Everyone, come and help clean up together." Jared called the members of the caravan and started the post-battle work.

None of the people in the caravan were new to this kind of business, and Annika was the one who lacked the most experience.

But Jared didn't need her to do this job, and no one wanted to do it.

Of course, Annika would not be idle, and there were more than 200 orderly soldiers there.

Most of them didn't even know what happened.

Before, the Iris Knights marched forward in a long snake formation on the avenue. As they were marching, they were suddenly ordered to stop by the head of the team.

How dare a group of orderly soldiers ask the knights about their affairs? They just did whatever they were told to do, and there was no whispering.

Then not long after, a group of holy light rose into the air in front, and then shone brightly.

Some of the orderly soldiers recognized that it was the Holy Infant, but more people didn't know. They were new to the Knights.

In the past, the powerful and powerful who did the dirty work were regarded as tyrannical and domineering in the eyes of the people. They could run rampant in the territory just by relying on their power.

In this context, serving the knights was a kind of alternative welfare. As the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, they could use their power to gain some benefits.

Over time, the service soldiers became bloated and inefficient.

The knights didn't care about it. As long as the tributes from the people below did not decrease and their treatment did not decrease, there was nothing to investigate.

But this time was different. The evil, monsters, and even demons were not like mud legs. They would not obey them obediently because of their reputation. They would not fight back when scolded or beaten.

The mission was dangerous, or the matter of collecting food and fodder, naturally they needed good cattle and horses that could work, not lackeys who were just filling in the numbers.

So a group of them were selected from the city defense army.

In comparison, this group of people had good professionalism and at least some discipline.

But even so, after the leader of the Iris Knights used the "Heroic Call", some people were knocked down or even trampled by the crazy knights and horses.

You know, the whole team, the flanks of the vehicles, were accompanied by knights at a certain distance. At the end of the team, there was a rear guard of more than 20 knights.

These knights, under the effect of the "Heroic Call", fell into a frenzy and galloped on their horses.

Not only the knights, but also the horses were affected, as if they were shocked and fell into another kind of madness.

But the minds of animals are relatively simple. Herobo secretly exerted his strength to make them exit the abnormal state after the knights were killed.

Although the main body of Herobo was sorting out the dark power in the 35th sub-hell at this time, it can be done by releasing simple mental power influence to the outside with the help of Anika as an anchor point.

Now, Anika only needs to float in the air with the help of the Lightbeard Wings, and her inhuman appearance is enough to shock the orderly soldiers of the entire caravan and make them dare not move.

It must be said that being a captive is sometimes very simple, just be soft enough, but being an inexplicable winner requires more thinking.

For example, some people in the caravan, when they were dealing with the dead killed by Anika, they were shocked and secretly discussed whether they could stay out of it.

And after a short period of fermentation, someone finally tried to communicate with Jared.

"Captain, we know that this is shameless, but we are really powerless to fight against theocracy! Mainly our family-.-"

Jarid puffed on his pipe and snorted heavily. Of course, he knew that the reason why these people proposed to go their separate ways at this time was based on the fact that they had not met the escaped Iris Knights.

But if we don't separate at this time, when the knights' orderly soldiers are taken as prisoners and incorporated into the team, there will be witnesses, and it will be difficult to clear ourselves.

"Have you ever thought that those knights fled back to Highgarden City, and you went back right after, you will definitely be suspected."

"So, can you please say a few good words to Lady Anika and clear a farm nearby so that we can hide for a few days."

Jared snorted and smiled: "Don't you think it's a bit shameless to make such a request?"

That represents a face full of surprise, flattering and awkward smile.

Jared is not Anika who is ignorant of the world. He certainly knows that as his colleague, thick skin is a basic skill.

Therefore, the person in front of him is actually acting. If there is a little bit of true color in this performance, it can be said that there is still some conscience and justice.

"Moral kidnapping and moral coercion are not used in this way. You have your own difficulties, but I don't? Doesn't Lady Anika have any?

Why do we have to make you suffer more and help you?

You all give up sharing the hardships and should sever ties in time.

Don't you need to pay the price for such a choice?"

The representative saw Jared speaking so impolitely, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He refuted: "Captain, let's be frank. We are all using Lady Anika's ability and kindness. Why do you use it and act superior?"

Jared laughed: "If you say so, then you can go and beg Lady Anika in person." As he said that, he made a gesture of invitation.

The representative gritted his teeth and said: "Jared, you have encountered misfortune, so you must drag us to suffer together to be satisfied!?"

When Jared heard this tone of speech, he was too lazy to talk nonsense and left with a cigarette butt in his mouth.

The representative looked at Jared's back, his face turned green and white, and after a while, he rubbed his teeth and left.

Of course he knew that he was being ignored, but just like the saying, 'It's good to make money, not cold! ’ expresses the same artistic conception. At this juncture, try your best to try what you can. After all, if you say the words of leaving the team urgently, it will be like breaking up, and there is no hope of being able to stay together, so why not be more shameless?

What if it happens?

If it doesn’t work, there are ways to do it.

Are you really going to beg Anika?

Don't go.

It's not that my legs and feet are weak and I can't kneel down.

It’s not because of their friendship with each other before that they were willing to leave Anika’s kindness to Jared to continue.

But Anika's location is not convenient for them to go.

It doesn't matter if you are masked. As soon as you open your mouth, the orderlies will know that something like this is going on. This is the vulnerability that could kill them in the future.

If you can't rely on others, then you have to rely on yourself. This team is determined to leave today.

You want to ask why this group of people suddenly became tough?

In fact, I have never been timid.

Whether they are a single gang or a small group, they have enough sense of adventure when they go out.

You know, it was already more than ten days after the fall of the big town when Hei Luobo met Anika at the Black Pine Camp.

The big town was destroyed by evil people's blood sacrifice.

The evil people became unscrupulous and active only after the Black Tide occurred.

When the number of days is calculated in this way, it is not difficult to see that these businessmen, including Jared, are actually thinking of taking advantage of the fire. They are planning to at least make a wave of high-risk money, and then embark on the adventure journey. .

Moreover, they are not kind-hearted people. They are not willing to commit murder and swindle goods because they have better choices. However, if they have the opportunity to break into an empty house and live in poverty in a troubled world, there is absolutely no psychological burden. The main product has broad purchase channels, and getting it means picking it up.

The reason why Jared was able to gather these people together was that some of them recognized that the regional environment under the Black Tide was no longer harsh, but terrifying.

There are also some people who choose based on merit. If you can sit, don't stand. If you can lie down, don't sit down.

It's just such a mentality, instead of really realizing how dangerous the situation outside is because most of the people who really encountered danger have been caught. They have survivor bias.

Of course, they are not blind and have seen many shocking scenes, but there is a saying that is good,

If the disease is not in you, it is not a disease. There is no real pain, just looking and thinking, there is always more than a few meanings missing.

In short, these people dare to take risks, not only with courage, but also with some means. The reason why I decided to leave the team this time was not only due to my deep-rooted fear of divine power and my unwillingness to be implicated in the death of my family, but also because I discovered the amulet during the aftermath.

This kind of amulet looks like a standard product at first glance. Each knight has one in his hand and hangs it around his neck with a leather rope.

Based on their understanding of the Knights of Iris, these people did not have the habit of uniformly wearing such jewelry in the past. One of the group cultures of the Knights of Iris is tattooing. In addition to having iris tattooed on their left arm, they also like to tattoo posing beauties.

Moreover, the leather rope pendant was too simple for the knights, so someone used small means to check it and found that it was an amulet.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this thing should be used to resist the deathly cold rain.

This also means that even without the Buff blessing of Anika's Fire of Life, they will not freeze to death and turn into evil corpses.

"Everyone, it's expected that Jared won't help. It's time for us to take action.'

"But--"

‘Nothing but, time waits for no one. "

I don’t mean to go back on my word, I mean, maybe we can use some spoils to arm ourselves and “put away your greedy little thoughts. If you want to clean yourself from this incident, you can’t take advantage of this.”

"Can it really be harvested cleanly? What if Jared and the others tell us...

The representative interrupted: "We have discussed this topic before. I don't want to talk about it again. If you don't want to, just stay. No one is forcing you."

The man shut up.

In the end, all but three of the group of businessmen left, including the one who had cried to Jared near Ross Farm, hoping to go home.

It was not that he was afraid of being implicated, but that he really wanted to go home and confirm the situation. Seeing that the caravan was in new trouble and there was a high probability that it would not be able to get out of trouble in a short time, and with the amulet in hand, it was no longer possible to bear the thought of leaving.

Even the guys from Jared’s caravan ran away.

These two were not from Highgarden City, but were hired by a nearby town to work in the city.

Similarly, their only desire is to reunite with their families as soon as possible.

The remaining people in the caravan naturally noticed this situation, and someone reported it to Jared, who then informed the person that no matter who they wanted to leave, they could leave, even except for their own personal belongings. , and can also settle in goods.

Jared also bluntly said that after such a disaster, it would be difficult for the caravan to continue operating. Therefore, he can accept the early breakup.

At the same time, Morgana communicated with Anika and completed the recruitment of more than two hundred knight orderlies.

The method is also simple, confiscate all the amulets they carry, and taste the horror of the cold rain of death.

Then add the Fire of Life Buff.

In fact, it has not rained since this morning, but the cold rain has been falling for many days, and it has already formed a withered field effect in a wide area. Its coldness is no worse than the white-haired wind environment. If it is only ordinary If you don't wear warm clothes, you will die of hypothermia in about half an hour.

When it came time to collect the amulets, some people resisted, even though Morgana and her people loudly told them that if you obey, you will survive, otherwise you will end up like those knights.

But there are still some people who choose to take their fate into their own hands and shout loudly: "They want to use despicable means to make us die without resistance. There are few of them, so run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Anika's flying sword flew over, and the nearby orderly soldiers who were encouraged immediately froze in action and looked scared.

Some of the unbelievers tried to sneak away, but Anika killed them with flying swords in time.

Morgana had communicated with her in advance, and she knew that members of the Knights of Iris, no matter they were scoundrels,

She is still a new member of the group, not a good person, and usually bullies those at the bottom.

As it happens, Anika also has related bad memories.

There are also city guards in big towns, and they have special city defense taxes. To support these city guards, they usually eat Nakka and fish and meat the townspeople, but they are useless at critical moments. As long as the city guards are useful, evil people will not be able to kill them smoothly. Killing, so that most people did not even have a chance to escape from the town.

Therefore, hating the house and the enemy is one of the reasons for ruthless actions.

Another reason is that Morgana taught Anika the principle of killing one to make a hundred.

Sure enough, only five people died in total, and the remaining two hundred or so people all obeyed obediently.

Anika was not in a hurry to ask when she saw Jared again.

With her sense of perception, she naturally noticed that a large number of people in the caravan left.

It’s not hard to guess why.

After all, when the big town fell, it was not uncommon for her to fly away when disaster struck.

Even her parents planned to leave her at home and flee with her younger brother.

It was this incident that stimulated her, causing her already poor condition to explode completely, leading to a tragedy. Therefore, she could understand that those who left the team, but they also suffered the same fate as those refugees from Dawn City. Here, respect their choices and destiny and no longer care.

Compared to Anika, who has a clear distinction between love and hate, Morgana appears to be much more mature. She is very good at using small tricks to win over people and even engages in nepotism.

Yes, there were people she knew among the orderlies.

She is a guard. Although she is not the same as the city guard, they are both responsible for the job of violence. She had worked as a freelance mercenary in her early years, and she had to deal with all kinds of people, not only her employers, but also interacted with the city guards, including but not limited to obtaining military weapons from the city guards.

This time, she and a small city guard leader who had done business performed a play in front of everyone.

The two of them knew each other tacitly, one pretended to bear the humiliation and make mistakes, while the other pretended to take it seriously and employ people boldly.

This man with a mustache named Malcolm turned his face and looked for the opportunity, and instilled in other orderlies the knowledge of 'acting accordingly, staying low and doing small things first'.

For this reason, a knight iron was specially promoted as his deputy and his own player was asked to play.

This young man named Donnie, relying on the support of his brother who is a knight, usually does well.

Now that his brother was killed, he definitely held a grudge.

Malcolm took advantage of Dhoni's like-attraction effect to screen out the unstable factors among the soldiers.

This was a tacit deal with Morgana.

Of course, those old silver coins with high enough emotional intelligence cannot be picked out by this method.

But it doesn't hurt.

After all, old silver coins are easy to look forward and backward, and will not explode at the slightest sign of trouble.

And what Morgana wants is nothing more than effective leadership under normal circumstances.

When the situation is really in danger, it is impossible to expect these orderlies to charge into the battle.

With the addition of this group of strong and capable soldiers, even if most of the caravan members left, the overall size was nearly three times larger than before.

Nearly fifty carts and more than three hundred horses.

It has to be said that the Iris Knights are still very luxurious. The knights' special camp alone requires nearly ten vehicles. Among them, the tents and supplies of the leading knight alone would occupy two large carts.

I don’t know if I am on a mission or moving.

This is still the result of simplification, otherwise the knights would have two horses, and they would have more professional followers, and even a directly affiliated craftsman team responsible for repairing cars, replenishing armor, etc.

Seeing that Jared and Morgana had not mentioned their families for a long time, Anika took the initiative to ask: "Let that guy escape using special means, and your family may be held hostage."

The two old guys were waiting for Anika to take the initiative to speak. Jared said: "The situation is indeed very bad, but it is not completely impossible."

"What can I do?"

"Blackmail can be mutual." Jared said.

Anika was a little disappointed when she heard this. This method felt really mediocre.

Morgana explained from the side: "There is no doubt about your power. The church in Highgarden City may not be willing to put more chips on it, including their own future and even their lives, in order to go against you."

Anika raised her eyebrows and said in confusion: "As far as I know, blasphemy is a heinous crime, and the church will not make any compromise on it."

Morgana nodded: "Yes, the church will not, but a certain person or individual in the church does not equal the attitude of the church."

Anika could understand what was said. She was puzzled as to how dare these people?

After all, this was equivalent to the expiration of the gods. Are gods so easy to deceive?

Morgana knew what Anika was confused about and said, "This is a long story. If you want to know, we can talk about it in detail later.

To put it simply, first of all, God is not omniscient and omnipotent. Secondly, whether it is the Kingdom of God or the Church, each department project has its operating costs.

Finally, affected by multiple factors, after years of accumulation, the people in the church have mastered some skills to deceive God, and the blame can be thrown on the devil, or even learned from the devil.
