Chapter 209: The question is the ancestral medicine
"You mean to say that holy water will work?"
In the command room in the camp, Lowry slammed the table and stood up.
Because White said there was something important to report, only Laurie White and Isa were in the command room now.
"Yes, I have tried it several times and almost threw away all the holy water I had. The holy water can indeed stop the monsters from moving."
Although White looked very tired, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Not only that, if we are caught by those mud monsters that are corroded by black blood, the holy water can directly remove the mud. I guess if there is enough holy water, we can even save a person who is corroded by black blood mud."
"That's great, Lao Huai, you've done a great job this time!"
Lowry was also pacing excitedly in the command room. Originally, Lowry seemed a little desperate, but now he couldn't help but smile.
"It was not me who did the merit, but the knight who was eaten."
After White finished speaking, he sighed again and said that Bowen would never come back.
"I'll give him credit."
Lowry also wanted to reminisce with White, but now he didn't have so much time to be sad.
"There is still a lot of holy water in the army. What we need to do now is to draw a bottom line, shrink the defense range, use the limited holy water to block these monsters of the demon clan here, and then ask the governor for support."
When those monsters just appeared, Lowry had already sent a message to Lind. The situation was urgent, and Lowry had to use the emergency contact method to ask for help again.
As mentioned before, if these demon monsters are allowed to enter the northern border, the consequences will be disastrous. Fortunately, these demons do not seem to have any thoughts of going elsewhere for the time being, but plan to bury the gray-collar army here first.
Laurie's point of view is still the same as before, the largest monster that is as big as a hill is the brain of the other monsters. As long as that monster does not move, the other monsters should not be able to go anywhere else.
"About holy water."
At this time, Isa also said: "Actually, I still have a lot here."
Isa's quota is actually more than Laurie's. After all, how can a saint be without holy water? Maybe this is Isa's skill, so Linde gave Isa more.
When Laurie saw Isa's holy water quota, he swallowed his saliva. The Governor was really partial. He actually gave so much holy water to the Saint. Although it was reasonable for the Saint to have holy water, the Governor was not worried at all that the resistance army would leak the holy water.
Linde was indeed not worried. After all, this was the army led by Isa. With Isa's good luck, this kind of problem could almost be ignored. Even if it was really leaked, there must be a reason for it to be leaked.
The only problem now was how to explain the holy water to the soldiers. Should he say that the medicine passed down from the Governor's family had a restraining effect on these monsters? Moreover, since it was being used on such a large scale, Lowry was not sure that he could continue to conceal the truth about the holy water.
Although he was only a shallow believer, the experienced Lowry could guess what would happen if the fact that Gray Collar possessed a large amount of holy water was leaked. The church would definitely launch an almost crazy investigation into Gray Collar.
Laurie was not worried about what would happen to the church. After all, the church in the North had already cut ties with the Central Holy See. But once this information was leaked, it would surely cause all kinds of trouble. Such major events usually had to be decided by Lind himself, and Laurie was not sure if he could take the blame.
Holy water has always been one of the core secrets of Gray and White Collar. Lowry was able to handle all the previous command operations on his own. This is one of the reasons why Lind gave Lowry a higher command authority than White. Lowry can be said to be one of the most experienced people in Gray and White Collar. Except for principled mistakes, he is basically not afraid of taking the blame.
But now it seems to be a matter of principle. Laurie is a little hesitant. After all, according to Laurie's experience, facing this situation, even if he is defeated, Linde will only pat him on the shoulder to comfort him. But if the secret of the holy water is leaked, Laurie will not know about it. Can he really bear this responsibility?
Seeing Lowry's hesitation, Isa, who had led the resistance army in the North, guessed what Lowry was thinking and said, "Just say it's the Governor's ancestral potion. I'll take care of any problems. No matter what, we can't let these monsters defeat us and enter the North!"
After hearing what Isa said, Laurie finally came to his senses. When did he become so cautious and develop the bureaucratic habits that he hated the most when he was in the army? Did he only want to keep his position?
"No, I also had a part in this decision. I can't let the Saint Lady take all the credit."
Lowry laughed again and calmed down to prepare the final defensive plan.
"I was the first to discover the efficacy of holy water, so count me in!"
White also stood up.
"Okay, then the three of us will shoulder the responsibility together. I will explain this to the Governor through various channels."
Soon, the news spread that the Governor's ancestral magic potion was very effective against demon monsters, and Isa had begun to distribute the potion among various troops with the resistance forces. These potions can be used as grenades, or they can be sprinkled on the ground to temporarily block the demons, and of course they also have a healing effect.
Lowry and White also marked out the final defense area. All the soldiers began to retreat and used limited holy water to defend this last line of defense.
When they saw that the potion was really effective against the demon monsters, the soldiers who had been in despair for too long burst into loud cheers, as if their hope had been rekindled.
"The Governor's potion actually has a special effect on the monsters of the demon clan. It must be God's blessing on the gray-collar worker!"
"Lady Saint is right. We can't let these monsters look down on us humans. Brothers, hold on!"
"Brothers, behind us is the last line of defense. We must not let these monsters set foot into our home!"
"Revenge! Revenge for our dead brothers!"
It was not known whether it was because of the obvious effect of the holy water, or because the strategy of shrinking the defense line and concentrating forces had worked, but the demon monsters could not advance any further.
The knights who were at the front and in charge of the harvest each carried a bottle of the last holy water. Even if they died unfortunately, as long as the monsters came up to eat their corpses, they would eat the holy water along with them.
In the end, the monster that ate the corpse not only did not become stronger, but instead showed signs of weakening.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the front line became fearless again, and some were even bold enough to stab their weapons directly into the monsters' mouths and start a suicidal attack.
Those soldiers fighting on the front line became even more crazy after being injured. They knew that the "Governor's ancestral potion" had a panacea-like effect, but no one was willing to use it to heal themselves and relieve pain. Or it was no longer necessary as the powerful adrenaline had achieved a similar effect. Those soldiers would rather throw the ancestral potion, which was originally used to heal themselves and save their lives, onto the monster in order to get one more.
In front of the last line of defense, it seemed that it was no longer humans fighting monsters, but two groups of monsters fighting each other.
Noam hasn't spoken for a long time, because he has felt that the whispering mental attack is no longer effective. The whispers that previously only brought fear to those humans now seem to only have a mocking effect, making those humans even crazier.
In Noam's eyes, these humans were no different from monsters, and in the end he couldn't even tell which side was the monster.
For some reason, Noam, who used to make people feel scared, now felt an emotion called fear in his heart. Humans are really a group of lunatics.
Looking at the battle line that was filled with countless monsters but remained motionless, Noam sent a one-on-one message to the demon on his back: "Go ask His Majesty the Demon King for more support. We must completely eliminate these humans before the enemy's reinforcements arrive!"
