Chapter 377 Departure
After a night, there were only a few hours left before the scheduled time to arrive at the combat site.
At this point in time, both the formation of soldiers and the distribution of supplies have been prepared, and all that is left is for the entire army to attack.
At this moment, the neatly dressed warriors were gathered in the living room of Karlsten's mansion, chatting and laughing . Felix, who was originally dressed in women's clothes, had changed into a formal white knight's uniform.
"Huh, I'm finally done, meow."
Felix looked at the warriors on the scene, breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little. As a knight of Crusch, he had no less things to do than Crusch himself.
"Yes, if I had known that time was so urgent, I should have started preparing a few days ago."
Xia Yu, who was standing next to Felix, also responded. Although he seemed to be as idle as Natsuki Subaru, his task was actually not much easier than Felix's.
The status of a retainer is different from that of a family servant. Usually, a retainer does not have a fixed job and does not have to do odd jobs, but he still eats and drinks and receives a salary.
When the host needs a retainer to do something, he will naturally arrange a job for him. It is a fairly free position.
But precisely because of the freedom, people often end up being extremely busy when they are busy and extremely idle when they are idle.
At this critical juncture, Xia Yu naturally couldn't stay out of it. After all, he was getting paid, so he naturally had to help with things.
"Although it's a bit overwhelming, at least it's over..." Xia Yu raised his hands high and stretched hard, muttering while exhaling.
Although considering his current physical and mental condition, he would not feel tired even if he was busy like this for ten days and ten nights.
"Then go and rest."
Felix approached Xia Yu with a smile and pushed him outside: "Anyway, Xia Yu, you have no fighting ability like me, but Felix is a healer, so you must follow Master Crusch."
"Xia Yu is neither a healer nor a warrior, and he has no mortal grudge against the White Whale. He can't help in the battle, so you should go and rest quickly."
"What you said is..."
Xia Yu stood still and pried Felix 's hands apart, smiling confidently, "I can't miss such a big scene, and I'm sure I can help in the battle. Let me tell you a secret, I'm actually very strong."
"Oh? You are very confident."
At this moment, Crusch, dressed walked over.
At this time, she was no longer wearing a men's suit, but a full-body armor with only her head exposed.
And unlike the rule in the game that the less armor covers, the stronger the defense, Crusch can be said to be covered completely.
The dark green high ponytail matched with the red cape draped on the back makes her look very heroic and elegant.
“Master Crusch!”
Felix suddenly rushed over, looked at Crusch with a pitiful face and said, "Xia Yu is too much. I'm obviously thinking about him, but he doesn't appreciate it at all."
"That's because I can indeed help in the battle. If I don't go with you, there will definitely be heavy losses in the battle!" Xia Yu told the truth, but it seemed like no one believed it.
“Haha, then I’ll just wait for your performance.” Crusch smiled lightly and turned to look at Natsuki Subaru who was communicating with Rem not far away.
"Today I was constantly surprised. Not only you, but even Natsuki Subaru, who I thought would not participate in the battle, will join the battle. According to him, he has a physique that attracts magical beasts, and in the battle against the White Whale, he may be able to play an additional role."
"Attract the monster meow?" Felix's furry ears twitched and he tilted his head in confusion.
"It's just a taunt skill." Xia Yu said casually.
"Taunt skill?" Crusch turned his head and looked interested.
"It means that the enemy must prioritize attacking the opponent with taunt. Although it does have a certain effect, it is quite dangerous." Xia Yu explained.
"Usually teammates who taunt are warriors with extremely high defense. With Natsuki Subaru's small body, he will probably die if he is touched."
However, the reason why Natsuki Subaru can attract magical beasts is not so much because of his physical condition, but rather because of the witch factor in his body, and the magical beasts happen to be attracted to the witch factor.
Besides, Natsuki Subaru will not die, so at worst we can just reload the game and start over.
“Is it very dangerous?” Crusch murmured, and then his eyes became stern: “Then we can’t relax at all. Even Natsuki Subaru can show such courage. It’s time to set off.”
After saying that, Crusch waved her hand and walked to the high place in the living room first. She was going to give a pre-war mobilization speech!
Felix smiled and waved, then followed. As a royal guard knight, he usually followed closely behind Crusch.
…
In front of rows of armored soldiers, Crusch stood on the stage, leaning on his sword with both hands, with a serious look on his face.
"It's been four hundred years... The white whale born by the witch of jealousy has used the world as its hunting ground, wantonly ravaging the weak, and becoming more and more domineering..."
Below, Xia Yu was standing in the line of soldiers, listening to Crusch's speech while silently correcting the mistakes in the speech lines in his mind.
For example, the appearance of the white whale has nothing to do with the Witch of Jealousy, and the three major monsters in the world were all created by the Witch of Gluttony.
Moreover, the reason why the Gluttony Witch created Warcraft is very decent. In the Gluttony Witch's explanation, she created Warcraft mainly for food.
Because of its large size, the monsters will have enough to eat for a long time, so no one will be hungry anymore.
But in her opinion, if you want to eat, you must be prepared to be eaten, so if you want to eat Warcraft, you must be prepared to be eaten by Warcraft.
Therefore, the Warcraft that wreaks havoc on the world is just following the setting of the Witch of Gluttony, and has nothing to do with the Witch of Jealousy, Satila.
Soon, the passionate speech came to an end, and Crusch pulled out the sword that was leaning on the ground and pointed it forward!
"Attack! The location is Lifas Street, the big tree of Furug. Tonight, we will defeat the white whale with our own hands!"
“Ohhhh!”
In an instant, the soldiers' fighting spirit was completely ignited, and they all raised their arms and roared. Even Xia Yu and Natsuki Subaru, two modern people, couldn't help but feel their hearts surging in this hot atmosphere.
After all, people will be affected by the emotions of the people around them, not to mention such a fierce pre-war mobilization on the scene.
The sun gradually set in the sky, leaving only a little afterglow. Because the white whale would appear in the middle of the night, the soldiers set out in the afternoon.
This time, the White Whale expedition was led by the head of the Karlsten family, Crusch, who led his soldiers and magicians.
The second team is headed by the "Sword Ghost" Wilhelm van Astraea, and most of the team members are veterans and warriors summoned by Wilhelm.
These veterans all had a deep-seated hatred for the white whale, so they all volunteered to join the expedition.
The only ones left were the mercenary team "Iron Fang" from Anastasia Hexin's camp. Because they decided to contribute, Anastasia sent these helpers.
Currently, this expeditionary force is marching towards the battlefield in a mighty manner.
