After the explosion, the house was in a mess. The doors and windows on the front were shattered, leaving only dilapidated debris on the floor.
The wall of the door was dotted with cracks like spider webs, and dust was falling to the ground. It looked extremely shocking.
The militants near the door, the guards who were fighting with them just now, and the spies of the venture capital company who just rushed in were all knocked to the ground by the huge shock wave.
Several people near the door were all lying down or lying motionless on the ground. It looked like they had either fainted or died.
After a while, the people on the periphery groaned and groaned, using their hands and feet together, and slowly got up from the ground.
Due to the violent explosion, these people are still dizzy from the shock, their ears are filled with a sharp buzzing, their eyes have lost focus, and they can only see a confused scene. The walking people
At times, it was a little unstable.
Leo poked his head out from behind Hilmeria and saw the chaos in the hall. He immediately opened his big black eyes, and then he couldn't help but let out a "Wow" in surprise.
Hearing Leo's voice, Hilmeria's eyelids trembled slightly as she had been standing still, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the people and debris lying on the ground in front of her, Hilmeria quickly lowered her head to look at herself, only to see that her white robe was still spotless.
Then she suddenly thought of something, turned around quickly, and then nervously pulled Leo and Melina who were hiding behind her, carefully checking their appearance up and down.
Seeing that Leo and Melina were also safe and sound, Hilmeria breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, she suddenly felt a sense of weakness coming over her head, her feet went weak, and she sat on the ground involuntarily. At the same time, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice: If she persisted for a little longer, maybe she would really be exhausted.
That dark mage, and then everyone became prisoners together.
Milena was also frightened by the explosion just now, with a frightened look on her pretty little face. She tightly hugged Leo's arm with her two little hands, her eyes widened, and her mouth was pursed tightly.
Leo looked as usual, his eyes widened, and he even looked at the black pieces of clothing left at the door with a little excitement.
I have to say that in terms of magnanimity, this little ruffian is indeed very talented. Whether he is facing a giant dragon or an explosion occurs right in front of his eyes, he is not frightened at all. No child should be frightened.
arrival expression.
To put it nicely, this is called calmness and general demeanor, but to put it badly, it is called being heartless and heartless.
Afterwards, when Hilmeria kept praising Leo, Lord Lorraine jumped out and proudly said that it was because of his good teaching.
Several women hesitated, but had to nod in agreement, because Lorraine is also a heartless guy, and Leo's bad habit of always jumping out to complain immediately is exactly the same as Lorraine
.
At this time, Leo shook Hilmeria's arm vigorously, pointed at the door, and said loudly: "That guy exploded with a bang. How did he do it? It's really amazing."
Seeing that Leo and Melina were fine, and she didn't feel hurt, Hilmeria couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The dark mage burned up his mana and used this same-death trick. It is said to be quite powerful. It can be seen from the door of the Governor's Mansion. Moreover, right behind Hilmeria, the person hiding in the hall was exploded.
The spread spread and a large area fell.
On the contrary, I was the first to bear the brunt of it.
Belen was knocked down by the explosion just now. He covered his head and fainted on the ground for a while. Then he struggled to stand up and staggered towards the hall.
After climbing up a few steps and looking at Hilmeria, Leo and Melina standing just inside the door, Belen breathed a sigh of relief and fell down at the door of the hall. He wiped his hands and didn't know why.
Fearful, but still grateful for the tears she shed, she murmured to herself: "It's okay, it's okay, that's good."
Turning his head, he saw that the Imperial Guard had recovered at this moment.
Amid the officers' roars, they struggled to surround the last dozen or so armed men.
Next to it, spies from the venture capital company were carrying knives and inspecting the armed men lying on the ground one by one.
Because everyone is extremely angry at these guys who shamelessly attacked the Governor's Palace-not to mention that Leo is the next chairman and general manager of Ruman Company. Once he dies, everyone will have no choice but to be laid off and re-employed. Only Catherine usually
He treated everyone very well, and if anything happened to Leo, everyone would have no choice but to die as an apology.
Therefore, everyone was merciless when attacking. When they saw someone still breathing, they went up and stabbed someone cleanly. Even if the person was dead, they had to stab him again to prevent the other party from pretending to be dead.
When Beren saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Keep alive, keep alive, they are still useful."
Even so, he shouted a little too late, as most of the terrorists had been hacked to death by everyone.
As a generation of saints, Hilmeria was compassionate to the world and the spokesperson of the gods in the world. When she heard the screams of those guys dying, she didn't even blink an eyelid and just comforted them by the side.
Leo and Melina then went to treat the injured people in the hall.
Under the attack of the Imperial Guards and spies, the battle ended quickly.
They tied up the captured armed men very roughly, and then sent out men to search the Governor's Mansion thoroughly to prevent any hidden enemies.
Cleaning up the corpses scattered everywhere and treating the wounded, under the command of Belen, everyone unfolded one by one in an orderly manner.
At this time, there was another roaring sound outside the Governor's Mansion. A large group of people roared and rushed towards the house in the backyard. A group of mages appeared above their heads.
Catherine and Adele were worried about the safety of the Governor's Palace, so they galloped over.
In order to create chaos and shake the morale of the army, those bandits set fire to, looted and killed wherever they went. They also killed all the civilians who blocked the road.
The road leading to the Governor's Palace looked extremely miserable, and the two of them were even more anxious when they saw this.
They rushed straight to the Governor's Mansion. From a distance, they saw the door of the palace wide open and the originally strong door broken into pieces. They no longer hesitated and rode directly through.
They rushed into the backyard, and when they were drawing out their weapons and planning to start a battle, they saw the busy figures of everyone. They couldn't help but be startled, and then, a burst of ecstasy surged in their hearts.
Leo stood at the door of the hall with his arms folded, looking thoughtful. Melina, in a rare clinging look, clung to Leo, never leaving.
Catherine and Adele jumped off their horses and rushed to Leo and Melina, holding them with four hands and checking them up and down.
Leo screamed when they pinched him, and he became impatient. He stretched out his chubby hand and slapped Catherine and Adele's hands away, and said angrily: "What are you doing, what are you doing~! Touch me again, or I will call you molestation."
Ah~! Wow, you are still pinching me, I screamed, I really want to scream..."
Catherine looked at the angry light in his big dark eyes, and couldn't help but startled for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears. She opened her arms and hugged Leo and Melina tightly, and said with choked sobs: "It's great that you are okay.
.”
Leo was about to open his mouth and shout "indecent" when he was suddenly hugged by Catherine. He was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything offensive.
Adele also wiped away the sparkling tears from the corner of her eyes, and suddenly said with a smile and a hateful voice: "That damn ghost Lorraine can't even deal with some orcs, yet he still wants us to suffer such a heavy punishment. I'll make him look good when he comes back.
"
Leo was used to being beaten by Catherine. He was not used to being treated like this all of a sudden. He twisted his body and wanted to struggle out of Catherine's arms, but found that it seemed impossible. In the end, he could only force himself.
He took out his arm, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Okay, okay, sister, aren't we doing well? With so many people watching, everyone thinks I am bullying you, how wronged I must be."
"I'm wronging you, you big-headed devil~!" Catherine was furious at that moment. In an instant, she returned to her old queen style. She raised her hand and knocked Leo on the head. Tianyin scolded, "Why did you leave when there is a way?"
I'm trying to be a hero here, but I have to teach Lorraine a lesson when I come back."
Leo rubbed his forehead. Instead of jumping around as usual, he tilted his head and looked at Catherine carefully. Finally he laughed, nodded his head and said, "I'm more used to this Nicole."
At the same time, he was wondering, what does this matter have to do with the boss? They are all shouting to show Lorraine a good look?
Catherine was crying so hard that her eyes were red. After hearing what Leo said, she was filled with hatred and anger. She wanted to hit Leo hard again, but when she saw that Leo was blackened by gunpowder smoke, his white eyes turned red.
With a small face, he burst into laughter and said: "You have a lot to do~! Don't move, look at how dirty your face is."
As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his face vigorously.
Leo's little face was white and tender, and he screamed in pain again, shouting angrily: "Are you wiping your face? You might as well have just pinched me."
Catherine raised her hand very skillfully, struck it with another violent blow, and said: "Don't move~! Is your skin itchy again?"
Leo then calmed down.
The two of them were making a fuss here. At this time, Hilmeria had already checked the wounded, came to Catherine and Adele with a tired look, and softly introduced the situation to them. Finally, she thought
After thinking about it, he added: "By the way, the other party has a dark mage named Pula, but luckily someone came back to rescue him in time, and finally nothing happened."
Catherine's face turned cold, she crumpled the silk handkerchief into a ball, and said sternly: "Whether it's the demon clan or the dark parliament, I've written down this account, and let's settle the matter with them slowly~!"
Although the water has been released, Catherine still doesn't know the consequences of the release. Moreover, many places in Nidel City are still burning. It is not known whether there are still armed men who caused trouble in the city. After seeing Leo safe and sound,
Catherine's mind immediately returned to the battle situation, and she hurried back to the city wall.
And out of concern for the safety of Leo and everyone else, she was not afraid of trouble this time and took them all with her.
As soon as everyone left the Governor's Palace, they met Ignatz who came with people to report.
After learning that the flood had washed away all the orcs in the city, the three girls were relieved.
Catherine immediately ordered Ignatz to command the soldiers to start putting out the fire and search for all suspicious persons in the city.
Then the three of them took Leo and Melina back to the city wall and looked at the flood-ravaged plain in front of them.
It turned out that the accumulated flood water had flowed down and all the energy had been released. At this time, the Mamos River had gradually returned to its former tameness. Like a giant snake, the water returned to its original river channel.
Outside the city, apart from ruins and debris everywhere, there was no trace of an orc.
Only a few giant war beasts brought by the orcs lay scattered in the mud outside the city.
Relying on their innate instincts and heavy weight, they managed to escape the catastrophe, but they were already dying. They raised their long noses with difficulty and said "Hmm, huh" from time to time.
"Hmm" miserable cry.
Catherine held her hand on the city wall and looked into the distance for a long time, only to see that the distant horizon was empty for a long time without any human beings. And the Mamos river was also rolling in waves and never looked back.
She gave a final long sigh and murmured: "It's over. Everything is over~!"
"Well," Adele nodded vigorously and said, "We won."
Catherine turned to the officer behind her and said: "Tell the people in the city that we have won and there are no more orcs. Send scouts to contact Lorraine. Then organize the legion and divide it into small teams to search for the remaining orcs within a radius of fifty miles."
There will be a reward if caught.”
She thought of the corpses in front of the Governor's Palace, and she felt furious again. She added: "Compared with military achievements, life or death~!"
The officer straightened his body, saluted with a bang, and then ran down the city wall excitedly, shouting all the way: "Victory~! We are victorious."
Judging from his agile speed, he was obviously more interested in the latter order.
Catherine looked at it and had to admire a little: under the words and deeds of that bastard Lorraine, the officers under him became more cunning and vicious than the others - that scumbag actually didn't shout his orders loudly.
By announcing it, he obviously planned to take a step ahead of others and gain more useful information.
When the people in Nedel City just learned that the flood had washed away the orcs and didn't know what happened, they shouted "Victory" and "The siege is relieved" outside, and the whole city immediately boiled.
Catherine stretched tiredly and said, "Go back, you can have a good sleep."
But she didn't realize that Leo was looking at the giant war beast under the city, with countless stars shining out of his two big black eyes.
As the person who knows Leo best, she would definitely be wary if she saw Leo acting like that. Because that was a sign that the little ruffian was going to get into trouble. Just like...just like when she saw Archmage Lester who knew how to do it.
Like a kettle for pouring water.
The war under Nidel City ended so quickly that no one had time to think.
That night, the people of Nadel City caroused all night long to celebrate that they had survived the biggest crisis in Nadel City in more than a hundred years.
But not everyone was happy. The armed men who launched an attack in the city burned down more than 100 houses and shops in Naider City and killed more than 200 ordinary citizens. At a time when the whole city was celebrating, the condolences of the families of the victims became even more apparent.
miserable.
After a good sleep, Catherine, Adele, Hilmeria, and Lorena, who had waded through muddy water in the middle of the night before returning to Nadel City, got up from bed early to discuss what they would face next.
Things happened, the battle under the city was won, but they found that they had more things to deal with next.
The war is not over yet. Lorraine is still fighting with orcs that are several times his own, and his is a tough battle with swords and guns, which makes the four people very worried. But so far, the good thing is that Vera has not
Bringing back bad news means everything is normal in Lorraine.
Then there is the destruction caused by this war. The injured need treatment and those who died need compensation. This is still the simplest thing.
The trouble is, the consequences of that triumphant flood were too severe.
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion on the second day after the victory, facing the two proprietresses, Angus held a stack of documents in his hand, reading over and over again, twisting his body uneasily in his chair.
"Preliminary statistics show that there are 51 villages and towns within the flood range, with a total of 6,000 houses. We don't know the specific losses yet, but it seems that not many can be left. More importantly..."
Angus swallowed his saliva and said with a grimace: "Within the scope of the flood, more than 100,000 acres of fertile land were washed away. A layer of the ground was dug out, and none of the newly grown wheat was left.
This involves more than 40,000 civilians, and they are still in Naider City. The people below have already said that these people are very emotional now. If we can't come up with a solution, it may cause a big problem."
After celebrating their victory, the Nedel people who lived outside the city found that their homes had been washed away by floods. Some houses collapsed, some houses had only two or three walls left, and some even had no shadows left.
The winters in Nidel are not cold, but compared to Ruman City, these winters are by no means warm. It would be okay if they just lost their houses and could endure the rebuilding for a while, but if they lost all their food, the lives of these people would be ruined.
I can't survive anymore.
Seeing that they had lost their homes, these civilians excitedly went to find local officials and asked them to come up with a solution. In the end, the problem was handed over to Catherine's desk.
Catherine said directly: "Since these people made sacrifices for Nidel, the people of Nidel City who have enjoyed victory and security cannot ignore them. So, you go and tell them that our war is not over yet, and there is no
We will immediately rebuild their homes for them.
After the orcs are completely driven away, the government will pay to rebuild their houses and farmland. Before that, let them stay in the tents for a while. Before that, the food, clothing and housing of these people are all provided by the government.
Allotment.”
Angus nodded and said: "It should be like this, but, but..."
After saying "but" for a long time, Angus said with a sad face: "Our government has no money~!"
