1639 candlelight dinner

Within one day, the Tang army bombed Shengluo, Rewind Port, and Ironforge, as if the invincible Air Force of the Tang Empire had woken up overnight.

This terrifying existence seemed to have finally completed its warm-up exercise and began to use its fists and kicks to beat its enemies. All the targets under attack were trembling under the iron wings of the Tang Air Force. They finally knew those flying in the sky.

How powerful and repressive the terrifying existence in the world is.

No one pays much attention to the bombing of Saint Lo. After all, it is already a nominal frontline city, and it is normal to be attacked. But the other two places are different. Ironforge is the capital of the dwarves, and Rewind Port is

It is a city of elves.

Being attacked by their former allies for the first time, and on their own land, the reaction of the elves was greater than expected. Many elves clamored to make the Tang people pay with blood, and many people privately criticized the emperor's decision to participate in the war.

Is it correct.

But no matter what, Refeng Port was bombed, the whole city was in chaos, the telegraph office was blown up, the airport was paralyzed, and the radar station and power plant were hit by missiles.

In the evening, most urban areas were still dark, and for the first time the elves felt that they could not live without many things.

Without electricity, there is no way to pump water to the water tower, so the tap water in most of the city has stopped. Without lighting and no water, the city is close to paralysis.

Not daring to stay at home alone, Fran and Aunt Shireen gathered in front of the candle, waiting for Fran's husband Charlie to come back. They were lucky, at least there was a pot of cold porridge to eat.

Such darkness really made the elves feel uneasy, and many could only comfort themselves by looking at the lights of the harbor in the distance, convincing themselves that the power would be restored soon.

In fact, the Elf staff are indeed trying to find ways to restore power to Rewind Port, but the power plant was indeed hit by a missile, and it will take several days to restore power.

The elves are not as wealthy as the Tang Empire, which can provide sufficient power supply for the entire city, with a large amount of surplus power. Their power is usually not sufficient, and there will be power outages from time to time. Now it is impossible to allocate power to restore power immediately.

.

A large number of troops have moved into the city, and sandbags have been piled on the roofs of many buildings to set up machine guns. Although professional officers know that this has almost no effect, they can only do this in order to appease the civilians.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is to appease the people. The more purpose of doing this is to shock the civilians and prevent the lawbreakers from causing greater trouble.

Checkpoints have been set up at many important street intersections, and soldiers with loaded ammunition stand next to the parked military trucks. Passers-by will be randomly checked and questioned, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense.

There was a knock on the door, and Aunt Shireen walked to the door, opened the door and saw Charlie's tired face. When the other party saw Shireen, she nervously asked: "Is Fran here? She's not at home...

…I……"

"Dear! You are finally back!" Shireen opened the door, and an excited Fran rushed into Charlie's arms. She had been worried for a day, worrying whether her husband would be injured in the bombing.

"Aunt Shireen, thank you." Charlie hugged Fran and thanked with a sigh of relief: "Thank you for taking care of my wife."

"Come in and have some hot porridge." Shireen let Charlie into the house. Many families in this building use gas tanks, so there is no need to worry about the gas supply. But this is not a good thing, because if

It was bombed here, and the countless gas tanks might not be that safe.

"Save some food. Starting tomorrow, all food will be classified as strategic supplies. It will not be easy to buy bread again." Charlie kindly reminded Shireen, and then comforted: "But our family has a quota.

, your sons also get preferential treatment on the front line, the situation is not that bad."

Aunt Shilin's eyes darkened a bit when she heard someone mention her son. However, there was only one candle in the room, so no one noticed her sadness.

"The third round of recruitment has also started, Aunt Shireen...I'm sorry to say this, but you still want to start some. Even if your sons are at home, they have to report to the recruitment office now. The thing is the same

, there is no way." After letting Fran sit back at the table, Charlie comforted Aunt Shireen with some embarrassment.

After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was not appropriate, so he added a few more words: "But today I heard a statement. I just heard that it may be good news for you."

"I heard that the 3rd Army was surrounded, and most of the soldiers were surrendered and captured. Not many died in the battle." Charlie told what he had heard in the unit during the day, which seemed to Aunt Shireen.

A good news.

"Really?" Sure enough, after hearing the news, Shirin suddenly became hopeful: even if it was just news, it would be much better than no news at all.

"Well, in addition, the officers also said that the 2nd Army was defeated by the Tang Army. They retreated to Saint-Lo. Not many people died. They were all separated and some were captured." Charlie

continued.

"Really? That's really good news." Fran became happy when she heard the news.

Shireen placed the bowl of porridge in front of Charlie, and she felt much better. She squeezed out a forced smile and thanked Charlie: "Thank you, Charlie. I really don't know how I would be able to survive without you."

what to do."

"It's a pity that I can't ask anything useful. Those two officers are just here to do business, and they don't know much about the front line." Charlie explained to Shireen embarrassedly: "However, I think Marvin and Frank

It should be fine."

"I really hope they are okay." Shireen could only comfort herself. The candle swayed, reflecting the faces of the three people. It seemed that the power was unlikely to be restored, and they were going to spend such a night in the dark.

When her husband arrived, Fran's condition improved significantly. She regarded the meal as a romantic candlelight dinner and enjoyed it very much.

The porridge made by Shireen was indeed delicious. Charlie even ate some more. In order to thank him for the good news, Shireen made another green vegetable to celebrate that they had not lost anything in the bombing.

After finishing the meal, Charlie told the two women the location of the nearest air raid shelter and told them to take refuge there if they heard the air raid siren again - the air defense facilities at the telegraph office were unusable, so they just

Can go to the air raid shelter on the other side.
