When daytime fell in Seine City again, most of the noise that echoed throughout the night gradually subsided and became silent; only the sounds of sporadic fighting in some parts of the city and the wails of alien beings being killed were left.
Screams were occasionally mixed with rumbling roars.
It was the artillery and engineering troops of the Free Army, which were besieging and bombarding a stronghold that was stubbornly resisting, or demolishing a building occupied by multiple aliens; but a drizzle of rain fell in the sky, as if it was feebly washing away everything that had happened that night.
Bringing blood and filth.
For the vast majority of the frightened citizens in Seine City, this tormenting, long and desperate night was finally over. With the aliens who broke in or the deformed family members; they escaped and escaped under the sky.
Hiding; they can finally come out.
Holding the mutilated corpses of their family members and crying loudly, or rushing to the streets like crazy, bathing in the sky and rain, crying and cursing loudly; and when the tallest tower in Ganquan Palace also smiled.
The military flag of the golden sun and the royal flag of black tulips.
From far to near, waves of cheers and cheers erupted one after another in the city of Seine; and under the reverberation of these waves, the morale of several other palace buildings in the city that were under siege and still had people fighting stubbornly collapsed.
And changed hands one after another.
As the military flag of the Free Army and the royal flag of the new dynasty were raised over the Ganquan Palace one after another, the light rain that originally shrouded the city of Seine slowly stopped. The thick and gloomy gray clouds also opened a gap.
, revealing streaks of bright golden light pillars.
It concentrated on the white spire tower of Ganquan Palace, and dyed the two flags that had just been raised into a brilliant golden color; it was as if God was using the will of God to consecrate and crown the new owner of Seine City.
, full of sacred and sublime meaning and atmosphere.
However, in Ganquan Palace, the largest and most magnificent building, a small part of the area was reduced to ruins. The exquisite and gorgeous palaces, gardens, cloisters and flower gardens in the past collapsed to the ground, or were covered by the ubiquitous corpses and splattered dirt.
The blood was stained with a tragic and ghastly color.
And among these ruins, you can still see those inhuman existences: from the wolf head with thick fur, to the lizard-shaped man with smooth scales, to the bat beast with two feet and fleshy wings; the corpses and giant monsters with no exposed skin and muscles.
Dog beasts, and even a large number of blood demons who are good at using weapons.
Therefore, there are several armed monks among the groups of soldiers, holding various rare objects and sacred objects from the church, taking turns to inspect and search these ruins; to ensure that these aliens are completely dead and not lingering in suspended animation. This is
It is also a harvest from the city of Reims.
In the underground secret room where ancient records and documents are stored, there are also many rare objects and sacred objects collected from past dynasties; however, most of them have lost their effectiveness and have been completely forgotten by the senior leaders of the secular church. However, this time, another
It gradually recovered with the changes in the celestial sphere.
Therefore, it was easily sensed and discovered by Jiang Tian's vision panel by accident, and was excavated and brought to light again. Most of these things are aimed at strange special effects, so there is no risk of losing control. Therefore, they have become special equipment for the Pious Company and the Special Service Company.
.
And Jiang Tian was sitting outside the balcony fence above the audience hall, watching the sergeants filing in below, dragging or carrying out the grotesque corpses one after another. In addition to some of the strange ones, there were also
Some body parts that cannot be put back together.
Judging from the broken clothes and accessories, these seemed to be officials and courtiers seeking refuge here; in a sense, they were also the last group of loyalists and supporters of the Burgundian dynasty. However, some accident happened, and they actually
It was reduced to hiding these strange rations in the Ganquan Palace.
Apart from this, the "Fearless" King John and his members of the Burgundian royal family were no longer found; it was as if they had completely disappeared in this vast palace area after the main entrance was breached.
.Therefore, the search for the palace ruins continues.
After all, Seine City is a metropolis with hundreds of thousands of people gathered all year round. It is also the capital of the Western Continent, and together with Rome, Constantine and Madrid, it is also known as a giant city at that time. Therefore, even if it is an inner ring area, it is
Searching with the existing troops will also take a lot of time.
During this period, under the command of Duval from the Redemption Knights, Priest Lacha from the Pious Company, and the Grand Mentor/Old Hunter Ajax of the Special Service Company; the discoveries and results of battles that occurred in the city were also constantly gathered in Jiang.
In front of him, it turned into instructions one after another.
For example, in the back garden of another royal palace, Wangyou Palace, there are no longer any living people, and it has become a beast's den made of flesh and blood; various corpses are being given birth to from the piles of corpses.
Ghosts and dogs and beasts come, so they can only be given the purification of flames.
And in the Amadou Palace, which is dotted with more than a dozen exclusive churches, large and small, as well as the cemeteries/cemeteries of past dynasties, where members of the royal family hold major religious ceremonies and sacrifices; it has turned into various skeletal monsters, walking corpses, and withered bones.
In the raging hell on earth, the clergy have become sacrifices.
Another example is that Rosewood Gardens, the most beautiful royal garden in the city, was turned into a death place full of traps and strange snakes and insects by the dying enemy troops inside. Unfortunately, these traditional methods cannot stop it.
The bombardment of cannon and the burning of fire.
In comparison, the various deformed people that suddenly appear in the homes of citizens and poor people in urban areas are not worth mentioning at all. In addition to being scary, these grotesque existences are also limited by their own
The basics are not much enhanced in terms of strength, speed, and reaction.
In addition, they only have beast-like instincts. Therefore, a well-trained soldier can defeat them with bare hands. After the initial fright and brief confusion, most soldiers can easily suppress and disperse them by relying on formations and fortifications.
These suddenly deformed citizens.
On the contrary, it is those aliens that emerge from the underground; because of their strange and changeable abilities and strange attack methods, they are difficult to guard against. In addition, those enemy forces that attack in the dark are very difficult to deal with at the beginning of the battle.
Focusing on one thing but not the other, more than a dozen street strongholds were destroyed.
The preliminary results and casualties have also been summarized; the enemy's surprise attack and counterattack on this night at least caused varying degrees of losses to various Free Army positions in the city. At least five companies among them suffered losses due to collapse or
As a result, the organization was disrupted and suffered heavy casualties.
At least four regiment-level organizations lost the ability to continue the offensive. They could only rest on the spot and turn into garrison troops, waiting for subsequent replenishment and recovery. The accumulation and accumulation of these forces ultimately caused the casualties of nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Free Army;
There was also a large amount of equipment and materials damaged.
Even the total casualties paid during the previous attack on Seine City were higher. Despite this, despite the remaining enemies who hurriedly fled into the underground network before dawn, after this night of fierce fighting, the Free Army also achieved its initial goal beyond expectations.
, occupy the city of Seine under the sun.
Then, Jiang Tian looked at a figure approaching in the distance, escorted by soldiers. He couldn't help but reveal a smile on his lips. He immediately jumped down and landed in front of the other person, greeting him warmly: "Long time no see."
, Senior Rafaro. I have really worked hard on you these past years."
"In the name of God, may my king's martial arts flourish, and his authority and virtue last forever." Rafaello, who was dressed gorgeously and decently, stepped forward, respectfully put his hands on his chest, half-kneeled and bowed.
: "I am in the company of jackals, and my long-awaited hope has finally come true..."
"Senior, in fact, there is no need to be so angry in private." Jiang Tian laughed and pulled him up: "I am planning to appoint you as the acting mayor of Seine City and concurrently as a member of the Capital Region Control Committee, and then
Rebuild the police station and city hall."
"Thank you for your majesty's trust and importance. I will do my best to live up to your expectations." However, Rafaello was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hesitated and said with an expression on his face: "It's just that I want to ask for a favor from your majesty;
It’s about pardoning some people who have helped me.”
"This is a small matter. Then you can report the specific list and reasons and let me take a look." Jiang Tian waved his hands indifferently and said: "However, the middle and high-level personnel in the old City Hall and the Police Department,
Without special circumstances and reasons, no one is allowed to stay."
"As for the lower-level inspector generals, security officers, security officers, or department directors of various branches of the city hall, it is up to you to decide which ones should be retained, which ones can be promoted or dismissed, which ones need to be laid off and dismissed, and which ones can still be retained.
It needs to be reviewed and liquidated."
"Of course, if you have special expertise and skills, or have extremely rich professional experience, and are indispensable in a short period of time, you can also be exempted from some unimportant culpability at your discretion; strive to turn this place into a new one in the shortest possible time.
The city's operations will resume as soon as possible."
"I will follow your instructions." After hearing this, Rafaro breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously for this key position and important responsibility, the clearer the instructions from the superior, the easier it will be for him to do things: "In this way,
I can finally be free and return to my original identity."
"Actually, I have another idea." However, Jiang Tian smiled slightly at him and said: "Senior, over the years, you have cultivated a lot of contacts and connections in the Internet cafe in the capital? I don't think it should be abandoned; it is completely possible to use it as
He overstepped his status as a ceremonial official of the dynasty and surrendered."
"In this way, you can also have a relatively decent explanation for your new wife and those who have gathered behind you. It will also be convenient for you to take the opportunity to ask for help and save some people's homes; perhaps, in the not-too-distant future
, can it also play an unexpected role?"
"I understand!" Rafaro took a deep breath after hearing this: Apparently this scheming king wanted to use his cover to continue to fish out the hidden old aristocratic forces in the city. Then he said in an exaggerated manner:
"Please also ask the great knight king to accept the surrender of the tyrant and criminal!"
At the same time, the ranger posts posted on the outskirts of the city also galloped back with news about a large group of enemy troops approaching from the south.
