Sheridan's hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and he seemed to want to protect the residents he loved.
"Don't take action." Su Ming'an issued the second order after the action: "Even if you have the ability to save one person, even if you have the ability to lend a helping hand to the fallen person..."
Su Mingan put the loudspeaker aside: "——You are not allowed to make a move."
"ah--!"
A stream of hot blood spurted up, and the blood of a soul hunter splashed on Shelude's face.
"...Captain." He almost squeezed out these words from his throat.
The soul hunter's body fell at his feet. He did not stop, and threw the man's body behind him as if he was stepping on a sharp knife.
As long as he uses a little power of light, he can save a resident who is unable to walk due to broken limbs. As long as he draws his sword, he can stop a sea monster that pounces on someone's neck... He can obviously save many people just by extending his hand. The chasm between life and death in the eyes of others should not be a problem in his eyes.
He is an upright, kind, and benevolent knight of light, born with a strong sense of honor and born to protect the people, but now, he can only watch them die in front of his eyes, and he is asked to remain indifferent.
This caused him more pain than a knife cutting into his body.
"You can't make a move." Su Ming'an's tone was extremely calm. "Your light energy cannot be restored in time. You must keep it until the final battle with the Sea Monster King. So, even if you see people die in front of you, you can't make a move. Because once the war starts, every bit of your energy will be a weapon to suppress the Sea Monster King. If the Sea Monster King doesn't die, everyone you have saved will die, including you and me. Do you understand?"
Xie Lude took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down.
But at this moment, all he inhaled was the smell of blood.
"What happened to your hand?"
Su Mingan then noticed that his palm was wrapped in a piece of cloth, which was black and red in color. It was obviously the blood that kept oozing out of Sheldon.
"It was the wound I sustained when I was rescuing Miss Lin Yin and fighting the Sea Monster King." Xie Lude said.
The Siren King had previously pretended to be Noel and tried to trick Lin Yin away. At that time, he caught one of her claws with both hands, and the wound has not healed until now, and has been oozing poisonous blood.
"That's okay." Su Ming'an said, "Nolia's red rose can reshape your body and heal all previous injuries. As long as you make sure your soul is not affected, you'll be fine."
"..." Xie Lude did not reply.
What he cared about was no longer the red rose, the item that made him a player.
At this moment, he looked at the slaughtered people and felt that the grief was almost overwhelmed.
But he couldn't strike even once, nor could he save even one person.
Because he couldn't be sure whether every bit of energy he was consuming now would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.
As a Knight of Light,
He could not do what a knight should do.
He suddenly felt very sad and regretful, as if something was still here and needed his protection.

[NPC (Xie Lude) Happy Ending Progress: 70%]
…
Under the cover of the blue siren, the ruins of the outermost barrier are getting closer and closer.
After fifteen minutes of hell, the originally mighty team of a thousand people had been reduced to half of its original size.
Countless corpses fell on the constantly constructed white bridge, dyed bright red by blood.
If you count them carefully, you will find that the number of dead Soul Hunters is almost equal to that of the residents. Obviously, the number of residents far exceeds that of Soul Hunters, and Soul Hunters are the group that should survive the chaos.
But the death probability of soul hunters is much higher than that of ordinary residents.
Some of the people standing on high ground watching the battle had already begun to cry. From one thousand to five hundred, this was a very noticeable difference in numbers.
But the team was moving well. With one third of the way to the finish line and half of the team still left, it seemed that arrival was inevitable.
Sirius, the mercenary player standing on the wall of the royal city, withdrew his gaze.
"I regret I wasn't involved," he joked to his teammates next to him.
"Yeah." The teammate nodded. "I've heard about the mission rewards. A title with a 5% combat power bonus and double experience. A half mortality rate, I think that's acceptable. With our strength, we should be the only half that survive."
"Luna and the others are all alive. If we had participated, we would definitely not have died on the road." said the female teammate next to him.
They looked at each other, sighed with regret, and regretted why they did not step onto the city wall.
"We should have trusted the No. 1 player. His speech made me want to go up as well." said a team of players standing on the city wall nearby.
"I was wary. I thought that if he had to give such an enthusiastic speech, then this cross-sea operation must be very tricky, to the point where he had to use such a big move... But I didn't expect that it was just a routine speech." said a trendy girl with green hair.
"No one knows what he was thinking... maybe he just wanted to boost morale before the battle."
"Alas, it's no use saying this now. They have already rushed so far away. It's too late for us to catch up."
"well……"
Previously, they thought that this operation would require bait and cannon fodder, and that it would require all the Soul Hunter Ministers with top combat power to go out... It would definitely be a mission with no chance of survival. But now that they saw that half of the people were still alive, they immediately put themselves in the shoes of the survivors.
In the world game, the difficulty of copies increases successively. If you fail to utilize every point in time in the early stage and fail to accumulate strength in time, a vicious circle will be formed later and the tasks you encounter will become more and more difficult.
