Chapter 428: Purging and Sailing
The night was not destined to be peaceful.
The sound of battle with the clashing of swords resounded in many parts of the city, and even explosions were heard, and fires broke out in some places, and the originally wealthy and relatively orderly city of Freiris suddenly became a place of chaos.
None of the underground organizations that are inclined to the evil camp are simple goods, they are all violent guys, and their equipment strength may not be comparable to that of the City Guard, but desperately resisting can definitely cause chaos.
It is impossible for these people who lick the blood on the knife to be caught obediently, and it is impossible to do so without a fight during the cleaning process.
Curfews were imposed on the streets, and the city legions lit torches to form a line of defense to prevent the chaos from spreading to civilians.
But it is clear that these measures will not stop the spread of chaos.
Many wanderers weave through the darkness, leaving traces in every shadow, they have always been the backbone of the gray area, and from time to time they can still hear the screams of the city guards, and it is impossible for them to easily deal with the wanderers who are touching away in the dark.
There was a lot of shouting and wailing everywhere.
The relatively peaceful lives of civilians in the city of Freiris were shattered, and many of them hid in their homes and then rigidly secured their doors and windows to prevent the chaos outside from spreading to themselves and their families.
In just the middle of the night, this originally bustling city revealed a depressed atmosphere.
There is a fire in the warehouse in the docklands, the city guard is controlling the spread of the fire, scattered battles are taking place everywhere, and some people are breaking out to escape from here.
The fire seems to have spread somewhat, and there are weeping and howling voices coming from the direction of the ghetto, and it seems that some holy warriors can't bear it anymore and join the battle, but the southwest corner of the ghetto has also been lit up, I don't know if it was because of the chaos or the deliberate revenge of the people of the underground organization.
The night full of chaos felt so long in the hearts of many.
The noise outside the window gradually subsided, replaced by the footsteps of the City Guard and the City Legion.
When they saw the first rays of the next day's sun shining from the scorching sun rising in the sky, tears of joy and excitement welled up in their eyes.
Tentatively opening windows began, and then to the delight of the terrible chaos had gone, squads of the City Guard and City Legion patrolling the streets, maintaining order.
Ecstatic civilians walked out of their homes and hugged each other to celebrate their survival.
Everything seems to be back in order.
It's just that the behavior of the nobles today will undoubtedly make many people hold grudges!
The city of Fryjus is a very prosperous commercial city, but these prosperity also contains evil prosperity, and now that some people have been purged, they cannot rest on their laurels.
After the purge, some of the vacated land and interests will inevitably lead to competition in the following time.
In the coming period, the trade of the entire city of Freiris will be affected, and the smuggling trade and black market trade will be reduced, and at least nearly 30% of the dock workers will lose their jobs during this period.
Perhaps after the purge, the underground organization of Freiris City will be much more subdued in the future, but it is certain that now and for some time to come, many people's lives will become difficult......
The predicament facing the city of Freiris is temporarily resolved, but the seeds of chaos are planted.
In the foreseeable future, the hatred of the underground organization and the discontent of the civilian population will brew in the dark, and if this brewing mood is channeled by some people with ulterior motives, it will grow into a blooming flower of evil in the near future.
Especially when the City Guard and the City Legion have not made any substantial progress in the crucial matter of searching for the cult......
Mage Federation, Vitas City, Port District.
Surrounded by more than a dozen guards dressed in brass-colored armor, wearing a goose feather helmet, a sword at his waist, and a symbol of an immortal bird reborn in the flames on his chest, a very delicate face appeared here in a fiery red robe, stepping on long boots, and slowly appeared here.
As the burly guards scanned with scrutinizing eyes, the ordinary people who were looking for work in the port area were very amuseful to get out of the way, even hiding far away to let them pass.
And Gilly and the guards also seemed to have a clear purpose, and walked straight towards a certain berth.
Soon, a huge four-masted galleon appeared in front of them.
It was a four-masted galleon with gilt masts, bowed like a dignified woman, whose sails had not yet been raised, and the number of sailors walking on the deck was not numbered, about twenty or thirty, and their gilded weapons glistened in their waists.
When the guards gathered around Gilly to the side of the four-masted galleon, a dignified-looking, well-dressed man naturally greeted him, as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Greetings, Your Royal Highness, Dear Princess. ”
He wore a wide-brimmed hat with feathers, a beautifully trimmed brown mustache with a slightly upturned tail, and a silk shirt with gold-rimmed shell buttons.
"I'm Captain Drake of the Golden Lady. Straightening up, he introduced himself first, flexed his index and middle fingers with the jewel ring and gently lifted the brim of his hat, and continued, "Thanks to the trust of the Phoenix family, I am honored to be entrusted with the mission of coming to meet you in the Mage Federation. ”
"I've arranged the cabin you need. ”
"Single room with window, neat and fluffy bed, everything is brand new, plenty of hot water, good wine and fresh fruit every day. ”
"We'll set off with a little preparation, and in half a day we'll be at Hosomi Bay, then we'll head west into the Tunguska River, and on the third day we'll be in Freijis City, on the border between the Kingdom of Phoenix and the Mage Federation. ”
Drake's light blue eyes swept to the sides, adding a moderate amount of concern to his voice,
"Also, Your Royal Highness Princess, there is still a little time to prepare for departure, if you wish, please go to my ship and rest, there are too many troublesome bastards in the harbor area, and I don't want those stupid fellows to disturb my guests. ”
Gilly nodded slowly, and then took the guards beside her, followed the pedals of the ship, and walked onto the huge four-masted galleon.
About half an hour later, the Golden Lady slowly departed harbor with a long horn sound, leaving a long frothing mark behind it.
