Chapter 620: Gradually quiet city
11 min read2,676 words
After losing the barrier and protection of the city wall, the defenders in the
city became precarious.
The early flintlocks were not fast loaded, and if there was no good discipline
to maintain the front line, the sporadic firing deterrence was not great. In
the subsequent street battles, Crancia's army marched all the way, like a
broken bamboo, first rushing up the wall, occupying all the main points on the
wall, and then overlooking the inside of the city, advancing step by step
towards the center.
"Go! Stupid."
A defender dropped the musket in his hand and pulled his comrades around him,
hoping that the other comrades could leave with him, but this former comrade
seemed to have lost his hearing in the artillery fire, and he kept repeating
the action of filling and shooting in a dazed manner. Fired bullets one after
another to an unknown place.
Just as the two struggled, a group of fighters holding steel shields had
already rushed up the city wall. The bullets made a tinkling sound on the
shield, but they still moved forward.
Many defenders saw that the tide of the army was finally unable to bear the
morale collapse, and when there was nowhere to escape, they dropped their
muskets and weapons and surrendered.
On the clock tower and tall buildings in the city, many mages threw in the
resistance. They manipulated golems and bursting flames to attack all the
enemies close to them.
"Don't worry about the golem, aim at the mage."
The officer below commanded, and then a black magic crystal spear was held
high and aimed at it.
"Fire!" A short fire light lit up, and then bursts of blood sprouts from the
mage, who fell from the tall building and fell to the ground, forming a puddle
of dark red blood.
Since defeating the Frost Alliance several times, Crancia has also seized many
intact magic crystal guns. After two months of training, these soldiers can
also use them well.
War is a process of rapid learning, and after several joint battles with
Frost, Crancia gradually has a lot of musketeers. They are even more efficient
than the enemy, and they have better discipline and stronger will.
The muskets of both sides fired on the streets, and the city was filled with
diffuse smoke, shattered glass, wood, walls, etc. everywhere, and almost dust
and gravel on the ground.
After a flurry of firefights, soldiers wearing neat boots stepped across the
stone brick ground and moved towards the clock tower in the middle, which was
the center of Mozwa.
The whole city is shaped like a dial, with twelve high towers in the direction
of twelve hours. They are the twelve universities of Ruhrna in the early days.
Although some declined and merged later, only eight are left, but these eight
universities It also represents the eight largest factions and domains of its
domestic masters.
The inscribed tower in the center is located in the center of the ‘dial’,
where offices and meetings are held on weekdays.
————————
After the front army entered the interior of the city, Lorrainhill also slowly
approached this magnificent city on horseback. Gray stone bricks can be seen
on the mottled walls, as well as a little moss and water marks in the cracks.
Rulna was not strong in the distant past, but a small kingdom by the sea.
After the destruction of Oz, many mages moved west and stopped here. They
built their own mage towers, alchemy workshops, etc., began to recruit
apprentices or students, and then slowly became stronger.
Until a few hundred years ago, the twelve factions with the largest number and
strongest strength united together to restructure the power order of this
country and chose Mozwa as its capital.
For this reason, the capital of this country is designed to be very cutting-
edge and has a sense of beauty appreciated by mages. It is regular and tidy.
The outer wall can also be regarded as a 36-sided circle. There are also
several intersecting walls inside. The city is neatly divided into regions,
which is convenient for management and planning. Surrounding the inscribed
tower in the center are twelve magnificent universities.
"His Royal Highness, there is a situation ahead to report to you."
After entering the city, Lorrain Hill was about to wait for the city wall, and
a soldier rushed over on horseback.
"What's the matter?" She looked up at the panting soldier.
"Hanshuang United expressed its willingness to surrender unconditionally,
hoping that we can suspend firing and reduce unnecessary casualties."
Is it so fast? The girl thought to herself, listening to the gradually sparse
gunshots in front of her, it is estimated that there are indeed not many
enemies with will to fight.
"Acceptable, but if you want to surrender, you need to shout in advance, put
down all weapons and armor, and then walk out of the bunker with your hands
high."
"After that, we will send people to tie them up one by one and let the follow-
up troops take care of them."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." The soldier saluted loudly, and then continued to
rush forward.
————
Following the joint orders of the senior generals of the Frost Union, the
soldiers in the city finally accepted the reality and walked out of the towers
and fortresses one by one. Under the surveillance of the muskets, they raised
their hands high and accepted the binding and imprisonment of the other side.
Lorrain Hill gave up riding horses and walked in this ruined city, surrounded
by broken and messy shops, and many corpses that fell on the ground gradually
stiffening.
Wearing gray boots, she lightly jumped over a pillar across the street and
continued forward, revealing a little silver hair under her light gray hood.
Some Crancia soldiers were searching and cleaning the buildings beside the
street, and occasionally scattered residents walked out of them, looking at
the group of foreign soldiers in panic.
Fortunately, Crancia's current military discipline is very strict, but no one
has done anything excessive. They first asked briefly what kind of work this
resident did in the city and why he was here.
If there are no problems, they will be taken to a place for centralized
management, where there are special soldiers guarded, as well as food, water,
and medical personnel.
Suddenly a slight noise came from a piece of rubble, and with the sound of
falling rocks, a buried figure slowly crawled out.
Looking at the dusty uniform and the remaining blood stains on it, it should
be the Frost Union soldiers who were affected by artillery fire and battle
when the city was broken.
Before he was struggling to stand up, ten or so Crancia warriors had
surrounded him.
"Let down your weapon, then raise your hand."
"Don't try to resist, it will only make you die in vain."
"The Frost Union surrendered, and the war is over."
Each and every voice blasted into the soldier's mind like a blockbuster. With
his unconscious eyes, he looked at the surrounding group of enemies in
confusion and helplessly.
Fortunately, the sharp tip of the gun and the blade finally awakened his
consciousness, and he raised his hand tremblingly.
"Please... don't... don't kill me..." His voice was nervous and uneasy. It was
the fear of losing control of everything in life.
"Relax a little, then step back and stay away from the weapon at hand. This is
good for you and me." A Croatian soldier patiently guided. Although he has an
absolute advantage, he does not want to injure a member because of this
carelessness.
"I...I can't move...I, my legs are gone..."
There was a moist choking and panic in the soldier's voice. He didn't know if
he would die here today, if he would be abandoned by others, or how he would
spend the rest of his life without legs.
Several Crancia soldiers looked at the dark red blood under the gravel dust
and the twisted limbs, and sighed silently, but they couldn't.
The last captain came out, let the other two soldiers approach carefully, took
away the weapon in his hand, and then surrounded him, digging out his lower
body from the gravel.
"Send him to the resettlement site, clean up the wounds and amputee his limbs,
it is estimated that he can save his life." The captain said to the soldiers
who lifted the stretcher, and they can only help here.
At this time, a clear voice sounded.
"Stop for a while." Lorrain Hill, wearing a light gray hooded robe, walked
over.
Looking at the slender girl who suddenly appeared, the soldiers were a little
surprised. Fortunately, the small badge on the chest indicated that it was
from Crancia, so they were not overly nervous.
"I can treat him first." Lorraine Hill didn't want to reveal his identity for
the time being.
"But it's a bit discordant, you have to prove that you have enough ability,
otherwise random attempts will only make the patient more..." Before the
captain finished speaking, Lorrain Hill took it from his sleeve. There was a
small bronze medal with a small red string on it.
"Are you a graduate of Sage Academy?" The captain looked at the small bronze
medal, which had embossed patterns on it, and the faint small petals and
leaves were exactly the pattern of sage.
Sage petals are mostly blue and purple, and its growth is very resistant to
pests and diseases. In the past, it was regarded as a universal panacea.
Although this is an exaggeration, it is indeed a medicinal material with
various functions such as sterilization, disinfection and antiseptic. .
After Lorland Hill established the first extraordinary medical college in
Solander, it was named after it. Each graduate will be issued a bronze medal
symbolizing identity. They walk in the mountains and fields for those remote
and barren areas. Of the people provide the most basic and most urgently
needed medical support.
After seeing the bronze medal, the captain seemed to be relieved, and asked
the two team members to temporarily put down the wounded enemy soldier and let
the mysterious girl whose face was half hidden in the hood look at it.
Lorrain Hill stepped forward, stretched out his white palm, and covered the
soldier's sky far away, with a faint brilliance in his eyes, checking his
physical injuries.
Although one of her calves has been twisted, but fortunately, the time has not
been too long, and it has not been completely necrotic. With her current
strength, it is not difficult to treat it.
A faint white light emerged from the palm of the palm, and then the wisps of
white flame gently outlined and wrapped around his calf, first to remove
blood, dust, sterilization, etc., and then turn the wrist slightly, and the
lower leg bones were also manipulated. Righting in the air, made a slight
noise.
"Ah—" the soldier lying on the stretcher yelled in pain.
"Just bear with me a little bit, just wait a while." The girl's clear voice,
like a mountain breeze and running water, made her mind slow and calm down.
The originally dark red wound slowly returned to its normal color with strands
of white light infiltrating, while the internal nerves and muscles were
restored to their original state under the extremely precise treatment.
The soldier lying on the ground only felt a cool sensation in his calf, and
then slowly felt sensation in his ankle. A real and unbearable joy rose in his
heart, and he gratefully looked at the girl.
Although only the exquisite chin can be seen because of the angle, in his
heart, this mysterious girl who has never known each other is more beautiful
and kind than any angel in the church.
"That's it."
After checking it again, Lorrain Hill put down his hand, blinked, and said so.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." the soldier said incoherently. His poor
knowledge could not find any elegant and better words, so he could only repeat
them repeatedly to express his gratitude.
"Let me repay you whatever you want."
"Nothing." Lorrain Hill shook his head slightly.
"If you see those who are in trouble and really need help in the future, it
would be nice to help. Then, goodbye, this gentleman."
The silver-haired and gray-robed girl crossed the street lightly, leaving
lightly in the grateful and probing eyes of the people behind her.
Walking on the streets full of rubble, she was a little depressed because of
the war, and she suddenly felt better at this moment.
What she has done is not worthless. After the war, this country will usher in
a new beginning, she imagined.
As the sky became darker, Mozwane finally recovered quietly.
There are burning braziers or torches on the streets, most areas return to
silence and quiet, but the places where a small number of people are
concentrated are still very noisy.
"Everyone line up, one by one."
In a camp for refugees, an aunt in charge of a chef took a spoon and arranged
the crowd to line up, and then distributed the cooked porridge one by one to
replenish water and food. The people after the catastrophe were talking
quietly in the night.
Some of them are glad that they survived the war, some missed not seeing other
family members, and some were thinking about how to live in the future.
Inside the engraved tower in the other side of the city.
The candlelights in the high tower were lit one by one, illuminating the
meeting hall on the top of the tower. The windows below overlook the entire
night-shrouded city. It is immersed in the cold tones, and only a few lights
can be seen.
"Don't the generals of the Hanshuang Alliance know the whereabouts of those
people?"
Lorrain Hill and several representatives from the Star Alliance sat around the
table and asked several intelligence officers in the army.
"Yes, we asked the soldiers in the city and the officers from all sides, but
we didn't know where the core mages went."
"Did you escape? But the ships and monsters we patrolled at sea did not find
its trace." A mage from the Young Moon Council frowned slightly.
"Not sure, if they flee, they should have brought some important things and
personnel, but in fact they didn't. We even found many valuable alchemy
creations in the central hall, although many of them were experimental
objects. But it is also a very precious thing."
"And their family doesn't know where these wizards have gone, as if they
disappeared out of thin air."
"Disappear out of thin air? Could it be the ability to use some space
shuttle." A general guessed so.
"This shouldn't be ~www.mtlnovel.com~ According to those Highnesses of
Sequence 9, they did not find large-scale spatial fluctuations."
"In other words, they are still hidden in the city." A veteran said so surely.
"Maybe there are some underground facilities or passages below. When we were
fighting with the nobles of the West Wind, we could often find cellars or
escape passages in the castle. And this group of wizards are so cunning, they
will definitely leave themselves with retreat and back hands ."
"It seems that the search has to continue. But this time I have to apply for a
group of supernatural people from the church to come over, whether it is the
ghost of the shuttle entity or the induction of the soul fire, they are more
suitable for this job. "
"Then trouble Beines." Although Beines was not here, Lorrain Hill still said
so, as if he believed that the other party would hear this sentence.
And as the sage's voice fell, a golden crescent moon appeared on the desktop,
and then slowly dissipated, and the communication of information was also
achieved here.
