Chapter 262: Beast Tide
Why can't you live there?
It is also related to the huge rainforest around it, and the strange beasts in the rainforest will gather and attack the walled city built by humans in turn.
It is said that the first counterattack of the alien beasts almost destroyed Zipewa, but those who survived harvested countless corpses of the alien beasts.
Residents of several nearby towns withdrew into Cipeva one after another, and legionnaires from the military towns also came to the city with their families.
In the afternoon of the same day, a piece of news spread that the beast tide was coming!
The beast tide is coming again!
It's been 10 years since he came to Cipewa, and he naturally knows what the lockdown means, it's a catastrophe and an opportunity.
The head of the Investigation Bureau in Cipewa also received the news in the morning that Cipeva was locked down!
However, the dock was blocked by the city guard for no reason, and all ships were allowed to enter the port but not to leave the port.
Second, sensitive people noticed that the number of city guards patrolling the city walls had increased a lot, but this was not a big deal, and it did not affect the lives of the people in the city.
Owen immediately jumped up, didn't bother to change his clothes, and ran out of the house in his pajamas.
The mayor of Cipewa, Owen, was woken up from his sleep by the secretary, and his face was full of anger and was about to attack, but the secretary saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly walked two steps to Mayor Owen and whispered a few words.
"Token...... , I don't, but I'm the ...... of the Observatory" The legionnaires fainted at the gates.
"Do you have a token? If not, I can't let you into the city. ”
The wounded man who knocked on the door replied weakly: "Quick! help me...... Open the door, I want to see ...... Mayor! Yes...... Emergency Army!"
"Don't knock! don't you know that the gates of the city are not to be opened after twelve?" shouted the guard.
At night, a bruised legionnaire staggered to the gate of Chipewa, and the guards looked down from the city wall, leaning on the source stone lamp in front of the door, and barely recognized that it was a person who was knocking.
......
After five days of such a quiet event, an incident happened quietly, but unfortunately the young people living on the fourth floor of the West Comptoir did not know anything about it.
Except for Claudia and Francois, who were hiding in the house, everyone else was happily shopping, and they really came to visit.
Marianne naturally said that it didn't matter, and Jacques also said that we are not in a hurry to leave anyway, and when you leave, we will arrange our own journey.
I can't help it, I still need to bother at Marian's house for ten days.
François did not dare to expose himself easily, although he knew that if he did his job well, he would be able to sail in three days at most, but he could not deal with this old slippery head with a smile on his face.
Consider the reality of the situation, young man.
Don't you need time to bring back the personnel of the Investigation Bureau, which are scattered throughout the Tsipewa region?
Don't you need time to prepare a ship?
He didn't dare to go against this young man with the highest password, and while agreeing to the other party's request, he found a bunch of difficult reasons and forcibly pushed the departure date to after ten.
An old bureaucrat may not be good at doing things, but if he wants something bad, he is too good at it.
Of course, the main persons in charge of the arrangements of the Investigation Bureau in various places are not ordinary people, and they have one thing in common, they are all old bureaucrats who have been honed in the imperial capital for many years.
As soon as you toss like this, I will become a bare pole, why?
The person in charge of the Investigation Bureau in Cipewa also frowned when he heard this request, and anyone who saw such a guy who suddenly appeared would have to transfer all his subordinates when he came, and he would not feel comfortable.
François asked the Bureau of Investigation to arrange for them to return to the Empire, and to mobilize all of the Bureau's good fellow men in Zipewa for protection.
This time François was much more careful, met with the head of the Investigation Bureau in Zipewa, and did not ask the Investigation Bureau to arrange a residence for himself and Claudia, Claudia was still in danger of being exposed when seen by others, and it was not like he had always maintained a disguise, except for people who knew him very well, it was difficult to recognize this guy who called himself Fran as the second prince.
Second, François contacted the personnel of the Investigation Bureau stationed in Zipewa, so he naturally hid his share, but he had the highest level of contact and could allocate all the resources of the Zipewa Investigation Bureau.
A night dinner for nine people to celebrate the successful arrival.
Now everyone understands why the city of Cippewa is called a lot of land, and the West family on the rich side doesn't even have a small courtyard.
It wasn't until everyone came to the four-story brick building facing the street that the owner Marianne knew that her family's property was actually the office building of the West Comptoir, with the reception hall on the first floor, the office on the second floor, the staff dormitory on the third floor, and the residence on the fourth floor reserved for the West family.
"We have so many properties, how can I live there! It's nice to remember where it is. Marianne argued.
The nine of them entered the city together, and then everyone learned that Marianne, who claimed to have a house in the city, had never been to Zipewa.
Seeing that Claudia had spoken, François had no choice but to agree.
When Claudia heard Jacques say this, she quickly interjected and said, "Let's go to Marianne's house first, Fran, it's not safe for me to wander around outside." ”
"Let's go in together, if there is no place to stay, you can also come with us first, Marian's family has a property here, you can settle down before arranging how to return to the Empire. ”
Although Jacques said that when they got outside the city, they would go their separate ways, but it was also a momentary anger, they had already arrived here, so did they still go into the city separately?
"Monsieur Jacques, are we parting here?, or are we ......?" asked François, who came to Jacques.
was about to enter the city, Claudia naturally had to hide her face, and François was secretly relieved, as long as they contacted the secret line of the Investigation Bureau after entering the city, they would be safe.
It was also because of the beast tide that no one in Zipewa dared to live outside the city walls, and all of them cowered in the city, forming the smallest large regional main city in the New World, and the most expensive housing prices.
Later, people called the form of the beast tide of the beast counterattack, and the beast tide was a war and a harvest carnival for the city of Chippewa.
Since then, every few years, the beasts of the rainforest have launched a counterattack on the city of Zipewa, but the humans have been prepared, and a tragedy like the first one has never happened again.
There was danger, but there was also a huge gain, and it was enough, and more people with dreams of making a fortune poured in from the empire and even rebuilt the city of Cipewa.
Most of the residents of Zipewa are living as usual, although some are frightened and want to leave the crisis.
Naturally, the city gate can still enter and exit at will, but who dares to leave through the city gate? Before they reach the safe area, they will encounter strange beasts besieging the city.
So those who want to leave can only choose to take the sea route, and then they find that the port has been blocked, and they can't go, so let's defend the city together honestly.
