Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 637: stone man

"You quickly notify the city gates on three sides to block, and then immediately ring the warning bell." Sol and the messenger walked on the brightly lit street, and made arrangements quickly after some thought.

"This...yes, my lord." The messenger seemed to think that this would make a fuss, but he quickly bowed his head and left.

When Sol went to the military headquarters, Diller happened to be there, discussing with Stanter about this sudden occurrence in the territory.

This kind of emergencies does not require Stant to personally lead the team, but when the matter is reported to him, he arranges the manpower for the search.

"Clang...clang...clang..." As soon as Saul sat down before he could say a few words, the territorial warning bell had already rang.

"Damn murloc!" Stanter cursed, and he lifted his cloak and walked around the table as he prepared to shout.

"Not a murloc." Saul patted him on the shoulder and explained his arrangement.

"Is it necessary?" Stant and Diller had the same reaction as the previous messenger, wondering if they would make a fuss.

"Yes, and more than that, you immediately call for the people you can call, and search the whole city. Be quick, let's say the specifics on the way." Sol waved his hand and went out first, while Stant and Diller were somewhat Unknown so keep up.

Before Triston's Dark Ranger was petrified, Stant and the others knew it. But those family members later asked to move the stone statue back to their mourning. That was the old goblin’s approval, and Sol didn't mention it with Stet. It was originally a trivial matter.

Today, after Stant and Diller received the news, although they were dispatched in time, they still didn't pay enough attention. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the realm of removing spirits, and the fact that stone statues become living people running around, sounds a little absurd after all.

The two did not take the rumors to heart.

But when things reported to Sol, Sol suddenly smelled a terrible possibility that petrochemicals might be contagious.

Although he was only skeptical, Saul was always the kind of person who would spare no effort in the first place.

When he was walking down the street, Thor told Stanter and Diller the whole story, and they were a little shocked.

"You said those stone men survived and are now spreading everywhere and turning others into stone?" Stanter squinted his eyes wide.

"I hope not. If it is, it will be troublesome, but even if it is not, the whole city will be sealed to find the source." Sol replied.

"Then facing this... well, for the time being called a monster, how should I fight?" Diller asked.

"What I can think of right now is the team mix. There must be wizards and spirit removers in the team. Then, if you find the stone statues, try not to look into their eyes, and immediately destroy them through remote strikes. For the time being, I can only think of this." His complexion was solemn.

In fact, Sol didn't have any good methods. After all, no one had experienced this kind of thing. He used the legend of Medusa's eyes to establish his judgment. This stems from the fact that when facing the unknown, people always habitually look for countermeasures from past experience.

Whether the stone statues were alive or another kind of alive, Thor didn't know anything before seeing the entity. And how they turned the people around them into stones, whether it was the eyes, some weird means, or the scope of infection, Saul also didn't know anything.

The three rushed into the Spirit Slayers Association. The reason why Thor was so busy to come here was to get the detailed home addresses of the petrified Dark Rangers in the first place. Then launch a targeted search from this, it's better than doing random searches from house to house.

Now both of Sereo's sisters and brothers are in a deep sleep, and the affairs of the association are entrusted to Omia and Lubiana in the middle-level management.

At this time, just after noon, Saul got the list immediately after Saul arrived, and Zanron also arrived with the Scarlet Cross members who were keeping order.

Then, at the gate of the Society of Elimination of Spirits, Stanter's order was issued, and the squadron commander issued the command to the squadron leader and then the squad leader, and soon sixty teams were formed in place. There are 20 people in each team, each of which is equipped with three wizards and one spirit remover from each of the three professions.

The core of the mission is very clear. The team that led to the address went straight to the residential area, and randomly searched the respective divided areas that did not receive it. The search area was required to cover the whole city, that is, the new and old towns of the Free City. The enemy is a humanoid stone statue, which will be killed as soon as it is discovered.

After strict orders were not allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to disturb the people, the teams led away and disappeared in all directions on the street.

Sol and Stant were also separated on the street, and Sol himself led a small team to an address in the old city.

The place is not far away, and Thor's team has already reached its destination after walking through the streets for a while.

It is a pity that the door of the target house has been opened, and the residents inside are missing, and no traces or traces of stone statues have been seen.

Thor took a few people into the house and made a quick turn, then quickly returned to the street. The members of the squad who were scattered to inquire about the information from the surrounding residents quickly joined together, claiming that the surrounding residents did not have accurate witnesses, and there were no suspects.

The light in these lanes is inherently limited, and the darkness crisscrosses, obviously providing a good cover for the escape of the stone statues. The residents of the surrounding houses were asked not to go out as much as possible. After asking for help in a timely manner, Saul led some people to conduct a random search nearby.

Today's search is a bit peculiar. It is not about searching for criminals. Stone statues are very strange just to see them. As long as they are normal people, they will not hide them at home. So the search work is actually not onerous, basically it is alleyways and courtyards that can hide people.

Most of the people living in distress are basically bare houses, and only the middle class will bring a small courtyard.

The dispatched manpower is roughly enough. The teams basically don’t need to enter the house, but first knock on the door to confirm whether the occupant is safe. If no one is there, the head of the household will be quickly retrieved to open the door. If everything is safe, leave the instructions not to go out at will. .

Maybe it was bad luck. Sol's team didn't encounter a stone statue, but the panicked leader reported that he suspected it had seen it. When Sol led someone to chase him quickly, he rushed out again. However, to ensure the safety of the region, the task is basically completed.

The reason for killing the stone statue as soon as he saw it was because the other party's method was unknown, so as to prevent the personnel involved in the search from being attacked by the petrochemical company. Otherwise, Saul really wants to grab a stone statue and study it, and by the way ask what the source of the petrochemical is.

The petrochemical storm lasted from noon to dinner. The final result was a bit frightening. Originally, there were twelve Dark Rangers who were petrified by Treston last time, but the total number of stone statues actually killed in the end was reached. The number of forty three.

This means that this petrochemical storm has taken away 31 fresh lives in the Freedom City. This is also the result of Sol's immediate emphasis on responding in a timely manner. It is conceivable that if it is slower, the number of victims may increase a lot.

The only good news is that it is said that the combat power of the stone statue is not worth mentioning. Once discovered by the search team, it is almost finished, and it will not make any effective resistance. During the entire battle, the Scarlet Cross had no casualties, and no one was petrified by unknown strange forces.

Perhaps the petrochemical methods of stone statues are time-sensitive? Does it take long enough to attack? Sol guessed.

Although his team was unable to meet the stone statue, but there was a team that had been captured nearby, Sol, went to see it in time.

According to the belligerents, the stone statue will quickly escape after being found. What makes it difficult for everyone to understand is that his mobility is almost the same as that of a living person. It looks like a living person is so flexible with a layer of stone dust on the surface, and he can't get a response when he shouts to the stone statue.

Thor's corpse has also been carefully observed, just like a fragile stone product, as long as it falls to the ground, it will basically split into one place. The strange thing is that no blood will flow out, and there are no signs of life like flesh and blood in those body fragments.

After all, it is a pile of broken stones, but not long ago, this pile of stones still maintained a human appearance, constantly running and fleeing.

In the end, everyone followed Sol's highest instructions and did not capture any of them. Saul didn't feel any regrets about this. The petrochemical storm is like a sudden infectious disease, and it is already very good to curb the spreading trend.

What's interesting is that apart from the City of Freedom, there is a stone statue that may have awakened earlier, and actually passed through the west gate and ran into the orc tribe. Finally, after the City of Freedom was locked up, the orc tribe who received the news hurriedly checked themselves and found six more petrified corpses.

At that time, there were four gate guards at the West City Gate, and after the incident, he came to Stanter to plead. They claimed that they had seen a stone statue at that time, it was a vivid statue of a young man, but he stood motionless, and everyone thought it was a merchandise left by the merchant.

They were going to wait a while, and if no one came to claim it, they would remove the stone statue when they changed shifts.

Then it may be due to some short-term negligence, the stone statue suddenly took the opportunity to escape from the city and ran to the orc tribe.

Stant also discussed this with Saul, and in the end he only punished the four gate guards lightly. After all, being cheated by a stone statue is a shame, and their guards are mainly sneaky. Living people, who would have thought that stone statues would make ghosts.

Although the matter was dealt with, the results of the discussion between Saul and the others were a bit horrified.

Because the supply of the four gate guards with little difference should be true,

The question is, if the stone statues were really disguised around them, then why are the four of them not petrified? Is it because the stone statue wants to get out of the city gate and forbear it? But in theory, he petrified all the four guards, wouldn't it be possible to walk more safely and calmly?

These scrutiny are not the most important thing. What really makes everyone's backs cold is that for whatever purpose, the stone statue lets the city gate guard go to the orc tribe. This is actually a manifestation of wisdom. It's terrifying to walk on the stone and live.

When the results came together, the worried old goblin let Stant send the people to plow the city again, and he never found the stone man running around, so he was a little relieved. So this petrochemical storm of unknown origin has become a mystery for everyone.

Just after everyone thought that the matter was over, and the next two days were calm, the greater horror turned out to be behind.
