In the main building of the Hellis House, Mei Lu, who had collapsed in the
cabinet, was finally found by the guards. At this time, the artillery outside
the city had stopped, and the two parties in the city had gradually closed
their hands and returned to their own headquarters.
In the distance of the sky, a piece of white gradually appeared, and then
gradually turned into a light blue. Occasionally, birds flew from the cliffs
and forests outside the city, and from time to time the chirping of birds
could be heard.
The streets of Hopelander were full of stalemates, scattered sawdust, debris,
blood, broken gun barrels, broken sword hilts, and some braziers still left a
little charcoal fire, burning quietly, but there was no one around to take
care of it. Up.
A small number of logistics personnel began to drag the dead bodies, and the
two sides silently took away their own personnel without saying a word.
After the fierce battle at night, once the nerves relax, a kind of intense
exhaustion begins to surge. Walking in the open space in the chamber of
commerce, you can see many people leaning directly on the debris, or in the
corner of the wall, falling asleep, snoring one after another.
Large iron pots were put up one by one, and wood fires were burning
underneath. Someone kept fanning the wind to make the smoke roll to the other
side, then poured clean water, cooked some food, meat and vegetables, and the
other pot next to it. While the oatmeal was being cooked, the attendants kept
stirring to prevent the bottom of the pot from sticking and becoming mushy.
The scent of food filled the square with firewood smoke, which made people
especially appetite after a night of exercise.
After the outside movement gradually disappeared, some people slowly appeared
on the street, but today's Hoplander's morning was much quieter than before.
Even if scattered acquaintances met on the road, they just nodded and did not
dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the rare peace.
The streets are full of burnt ashes and scattered debris. Many shops are not
open. Only a few hotels and restaurants are open, revealing a little smoke. It
is hard to imagine that before the night yesterday, it was still a lively
festival. The city is prosperous, and tourists and residents are looking
forward to a beautiful festival.
But after only one night, everything changed. On the cold streets, some people
never came back, walked through some houses, and even heard some slight sobs.
At the Hellis house, Mei Lu squatted before a white cloth, and tears slowly
ran across her cheeks, dripping onto the ground, moistening a little dust.
There was a body lying under the white cloth, whose face had been hidden, and
he couldn't really see it.
Mei Lu naturally knew that lying here was the maid who had taken care of her
since she was a child. If it weren't for this mother-like existence who had
sacrificed her life to protect her, she would have been lying under this white
cloth herself.
Gerd stood behind Meilu, looking at his cousin. He wanted to comfort him, but
he felt that his identity was not suitable, and he didn't know what to say. He
could only sigh and stand quietly. .
And in the square where the two of them were, when they looked up, it was
white, covered with cold bodies. The Hollis family lost a lot of lives in this
battle, and so did other families. .
Lorrain Hill walked on the square in the Chamber of Commerce, and many people
paid tribute to her. Thanks to the medicine she prepared before, although many
people in the Calites Chamber of Commerce were seriously injured, as long as
they did not die on the spot, most of them were still injured. After the
rescue came back, and they were fighting defensively, it was convenient for
the injured to be placed nearby.
But even so, she still felt a little guilty in her heart. If she could get
promoted earlier, she could stop it in time without causing such a big
casualty.
But who could predict this kind of thing, the Tisifone family made a temporary
volition, and suddenly attacked. Because they failed to save the lives of
these people, and took the crime of killing on themselves, this is not a kind
of self-moral kidnapping.
As she walked into the chamber of the Chamber of Commerce, the current senior
executives of Calites, the captain and the captain of the guard, have gathered
here.
After listening to the casualty report, Lorrain Hill felt a little heavy. In
her previous life, she lived in a stable and stable society, and the country
where she lived can also be said to be the safest country in the world. The
loss of any one or two lives will arouse social attention, but in this world
it seems to be just an ordinary Number.
The following stewards are still admiring the alchemy potions given by the
Patriarch, only this number of casualties seems to be something very
remarkable.
But she couldn't be happy, perhaps because the values of the two worlds are
different. The world of Ivar is as old as it used to be. Most people are still
struggling with food and clothing. Starvation, illness, injury, natural
disasters, and the invasion of monsters can cause death. Even if churches in
the order of angels were established in various parts of the mainland
thousands of years ago, they are only worth the average per capita. Life
expectancy has increased to between 40-50 years old. This is the data obtained
after excluding children who died before their age.
Newborn babies are even more miserable. On average, one of three children will
die. It’s no wonder that the Helis family is luxuriant. There are only two
direct descendants of the main family, and there is only one in the Anemi
family. It is said that Feng Nai also had an older brother in his early years,
but he disappeared when he was 5 years old. This is why Nuo Nuo Is the reason
why he spoils the wind so much.
"Master Lacey, a messenger came to report that it was Tissifone who invited
you and other big chamber of commerce patrons for peace talks."
An attendant came in to report. After listening, everyone in the hall quietly
waited for Lexi's instructions.
"I know, but the peace talks will be scheduled for three days. We Calites will
now arrange the wounded and deal with other affairs."
"Yes, Miss." The two stewards followed the attendants out and talked to the
messenger outside.
After the messenger went out, Lorrain Hill seemed to think of something and
asked.
"How is the cargo on the fleet~www.mtlnovel.com~ unloaded?"
The following captains and fleet leaders were a little surprised, why they
suddenly cared about this, but they still replied.
"Currently there is not enough manpower, not yet."
"Well, let everyone rest first, and then send someone to unload the goods in
the afternoon."
Lorraine Hill blinked his blue eye pupils, looking at the progress bar on the
system that was gradually full, he also made a decision in his heart, and a
faint brilliance began to flow in his eyes.
As dusk approached, on the hills outside Hopland, a horse-drawn convoy of
hundreds of people slowly approached. Some of the horse-drawn carriages were
loaded with various goods, and some of the horse-drawn carriages were
beautifully decorated, and you could see the faint figures inside.
Looking at the city full of ruins and wreckage on the hillside, the rider in
front was very surprised. After quickly reporting to the principal in the
carriage, several riders began to ride their horses to approach the city,
wanting to go first to investigate the situation, but the rest of the
personnel Then quietly stopped at the same place.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the carriage, with
olives and shells on it.
