Chapter 899
On this day, the sun and rain sprinkle on the earth alternately.
Located on the edge of the city, the Edgar Mansion - like the manor of many prominent and rich people, this mansion cannot be built in the central area of the city because of its large size - the blue flint tiles on the houses and walls shine in the sun with a sapphire blue gloss like a starling egg.
Edgar's mansion is the largest building complex nearby. Other small households are far from comparable. The streets where ordinary urban residents live smelled stables, people without bathing, and cooking food in the kitchen; dog barking, children's screams, men's shouts, and women's giggles; blacksmiths hit horseshoes with hammers, carpenters breaking the trunks with axes; the west wind blows dark clouds through the sky, and cloud shadows chase each other on their roofs.
What broke this urban atmosphere was a group of soldiers wearing maroon uniforms. The clothes they wore, the flags they wore, and the swords and weapons they held in their hands all symbolized their identity: the Spart City Guards. In the American Empire, the guards of various cities were all owned by the Pharaoh who was far away in the Beth. The consuls of each city actually had the temporary command and dispatch rights of the guards of the city. Of course, this rule was an exception in the territory of the Dragon Pasha, and the Nom Special Province.
The garrisons in Spat City symbolize Quis's dominance over the city. Although they served the various consuls, the consuls in this city have never been outside Santos and Glou for decades. It was not until the Glou family had a change a while ago, and the term of Santos's term had reached the deadline, and the nominal command of this garrison was handed over to Edgar, who was appointed by Pharaoh Mako, who served as the consul of Spat City. Of course, this was only "nominal".
When this army appeared, the sounds in the streets and alleys were cleared: the men stopped shouting, and the naughty child was driven home by women. The blacksmith shop and carpenter shop quickly closed the door and boarded to suspend business. Soon, only the sound of the army walking by, and the sound of wheels crushing the wheels were left on the road.
This solemn atmosphere comes from tradition, and the development of tradition comes from the sense of rituals of the guards for many years. Obtaining power is easier than retaining power. Conquest is just a matter of killing and attacking fortresses, but retaining power is never that simple. And the external image is very important. People hope that their protectors are brave, strong, serious and decent. For fifty years, the Santos and Glou families who managed the guards in Spat City have been well aware of this, and they are also happy to let the guards show the masses what they want to see, thereby consolidating their authority.
As the pace of progress, the garrison troops finally stopped in front of Edgar's mansion. Thirty centurions were responsible for commanding the troops on the spot. They received the order from the head of the Santos family early. That's right, it was Santos instead of the Namen disguised as Santos. After the riots at the trade pier ended last night, the contract demon followed the clues to find the workshop of the Duobao Pavilion and rescued Santos who had been imprisoned for many days. After being released from the Iron Prisoner, Santos was entrusted with a task that he was very happy to accept: to lead the garrison troops to clear the turmoil caused by the "evil" in Spart City.
"Enclose this fallen place," Santos rode an adult samurai beast wrapped in plate armor. He himself served as the driver of this giant beast this time. Being defeated by the Altoros demon would not frustrate him. What really made him intolerable was the torture of being locked in the iron prison statue in the next few days - helplessness, despair, frustration, powerlessness... But now these emotions have long been wiped out. After being rescued, the Eternal Scale Chamber of Commerce immediately provided him with the opportunity to revenge.
"I'm going to take that guy's dog head with my own hands!"
Santos roared at the top of his lungs. However, he had not shown it on the surface. Of course, this may be related to his full set of heavy mad armor, whose face was completely blocked by the facial armor. And now, he must do it step by step. After all, Spat City is a city that Lord Quis gave him to govern, and even for revenge, it cannot ruin the entire city.
"Every fifteen yards, insert a totem pole into the land. I will only give you half an hourglass to do this." Through the radio command machine, Santos' orders quickly reached every centurion's ears. They immediately acted, racing against time to let the guards unload the totem poles of bowls and obsidian from the cart he pulled out from the cart he brought.
These totem poles are all the latest products provided by the Eternal Scale Chamber of Commerce. Although the core mechanism of operation is the spells of the Island World Element Shaman, the materials used to make the totem poles are no longer ordinary hardwoods. The researchers of Eternal Scale have improved the localization of the Ashes World, and used spells to directly shape obsidian in the spell factory, and then created this new product.
Since there are no gods in the Ashes, the souls of mortals cannot ascend to the Kingdom of God after death. These obsidian totem poles have been fostered in various places for more than ten years and have absorbed enough soul power. They are like super-large obsidian magic beads, each of which is enough to provide the caster with dozens or even hundreds of low-level spells. According to the Chamber of Commerce, the total energy contained in these totem poles transported by Santos is even enough to provide a large floating city with normal operation for a month.
Now, it is only for the Altoros demon to trap the energy contained in these totem poles for a day, so there is no problem with the energy contained in these totem poles. In particular, Santos has received the exact news from Lord Namen that the Altoros demon named "Golleik" is temporarily unable to Edgar's mansion due to the order issued by his ghost lady master. These totem poles are an insurance measure.
"Set Hellscream and target Edgar's Mansion and shoot freely!" After the totem pole was arranged, Santos immediately issued a real offensive order. Hundreds of artillery that had been adjusted to the magnitude of the government began to bombard Edgar's mansion building complex. Like fists-sized shells, they were splashed at every inch of the mansion, as if they were not worth it.
The obsidian totem poles were also activated, and a light green light rippled from above, covering the entire Edgar Mansion. The explosion caused by the rain of bullets from the garrison troops did not emit any of this barrier. After half an hourglass, when the gun barrel was overheated and the shelling was forced to stop, Santos looked at the battlefield that was about to be razed to the ground with satisfaction. Although he knew very well that the Altoros Mogolelik was not dead yet, wasn't this just the beginning?
"The gift of the meeting is over, and there is still a great heart waiting for you." Santos waved his hand, and a group of spell casters in black robes escorted many ragged yellow robes and walked over.
