Chapter 55: Stay
The battle continued until dawn the next day, when the goblins that dotted the town were finally wiped out.
Standing on a high place, you can see from afar that the fallen goblins have covered the earth with a red and green carpet, and after dawn, you can see many scavenging birds hovering overhead.
The Goblins in Mine Town were reduced by a quarter at once, and many people died.
Many relatives of the town guards, they were unarmed and had no time to retreat, so they lay down forever.
The sky was a little overcast, and it felt like fine rain would soon fall, and many guards were crying bitterly while hugging the stumps of their relatives, and many of them were slashing at the corpses of those goblins.
But what if you cry bitterly, tears run dry, and you mend the goblin's body to minced flesh, what about it? The dead are dead, and the living can only express their own emotions.
War is like that, just in a small corner it has torn apart the entire lives of many people.
With a sad face, Chopper commanded the people in the town to clean up the battlefield, bury relatives, and bury comrades. As the mayor of the town, his losses in this rebellion were really not small, not to mention the sharp reduction of labor, and he had to spend a lot of money to pacify the guards.
"These damn darkbloods, that damn vampire count. He snorted, and also took a hand to clean up the battlefield.
Towards noon, the train arrived as scheduled, steaming a dense energy vapor and slowly stopping at the platform of the town.
In the middle of the night, the iron gates of the arena were broken through.
The students could only fight hard, but fortunately, with the protection of two mentors, the casualties of the students were only in the single digits.
When they boarded the train back, they didn't laugh as much as they came. I didn't sleep all night, fought all night, and changed a lot in one night.
Many students lie on their seats and fall asleep after getting on the bus, and they will lose a lot of negative emotions after sleeping. The train will arrive in Yangxi City in one day, and they may have already arrived home when they wake up, and all this may be forgotten like a bad dream.
Lan Luo used a pen to write Du Yueming's name on the list of the dead, and he stared at the list for a long time, and finally signed his name and stamped it with the seal of the Babylon Academy.
Every time there is such a trial, some students will die, but such a trial is necessary, because the history is still vivid, and the parents have also signed an agreement with the academy, and the two mentors who lead the team will not be held accountable. It's just that every time I comfort those parents who have lost their flesh and bones, that expression has obviously been seen many times, but Lan Lock's heart is still very melancholy.
When the train departed, a light rain finally drifted in the hazy sky, like the pity of the sky, in this world, after all, only those who have power can live.
Liz and her entourage searched the entire mining town, but found no trace of the vampire count.
However, she still did not give up, and even asked Chopper to help her.
Chopper, who just lost a lot of money and the goddess is gone, has the mood to pay attention to this. There was even some anger on her, although to be honest she didn't blame Liz for this, and finding the vampire count was helping him eliminate the hidden dangers in the mining town. This is a very simple truth, but people who are in a bad mood are only angry and irrational. So Chopper is not much of a bird at all, Liss pointed to Chopper's nose, scolding and reasoning, which can be regarded as knowing and reasoning, but Chopper is like a puddle of mud, when he wants to pay attention to her, he will fight with her, and when he doesn't want to pay attention, the birds are not birds.
Liz gave up and began to lead a search on her own.
Finally, two days later, the vampire count appeared, nothing more than a corpse.
The body was hung at the entrance to Mine Town, and no one noticed when it appeared.
The corpse is well preserved, but the location of the dark core has been pierced.
Chopper was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly drove Lis's gang away.
After confirming the Count's death, Liz's mission is complete, and although she has the intention of continuing to investigate the Darkcore, Chopper is really annoying. In desperation, Liz gave up, so the group took the earl's body back to Black Iron City and handed over.

Du Yueming woke up.
Feeling a little drowsy, he raised his hand to see that the original crystal was intact, and carefully put it back into the Ring of Sinjid.
"Awake?" asked the bronze smelter sitting at the table without raising his head.
"Hmm. How long have I been asleep?" Du Yueming stretched and got up to ask.
"Not much, three days. Tong Lian said lightly.
Du Yueming was shocked when he heard this, what kind of sleep is this, it's almost like being in a coma.
But maybe it's really because I'm too tired that I slept for so long.
"That's what I'm going to do next. "The copper smelter is compared to the liquid in the test tube, and he still doesn't raise his head.
Du Yueming thought for a while when she heard this, and said, "I'm going to go back." ”
"A few days ago, the last armored iron city in the town has carried your classmates back, do you want to cross the wasteland alone? ”
There are a large number of demonic beasts, wanderers, and even dark blood species that have slipped through the net in the wasteland on the border, and with Du Yueming's strength, it is really unrealistic to go back if he does not take a steam engine.
"What is Iron City?"
"Oh, you humans have to call it. It's a steam train. ”
"Okay. But isn't there another one after the car is gone?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get off work. ”
"What does that mean?"
Tong Lian finally raised his head, took out a rolled newspaper from the basket and handed it to Du Yueming.
"The Wind Pigeon organization sends me a newspaper every week, of course, but only in the prescribed location, and they don't know my exact coordinates. This is the new arrival today, and it's big news. Copper smelter explained.
Du Yueming took the newspaper and flipped through it.
The last date marked on the newspaper was yesterday, and the main content was probably that the supreme organization on the dark camp, the Darkest Association, dispatched a big man, the Marster Line was tight, the 23rd and 21st war zones were broken, and a large number of dark blood species poured into the interior, but fortunately it was suppressed in time.
"The Association of the Darkest is finally unable to bear it, and now the railway defense lines on the periphery of the Western Continent are all in an emergency, and they are urgently transporting troops to the frontline theater. If you want to go back, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the war to stabilize. Tonglian poured himself a glass of wine, "Would you like a glass?"
"Thanks, no need. Listen to what you mean, it seems like I can't go anywhere now, right?" Du Yueming folded the newspaper.
"That's right. Tong Lian laughed.
"Then I don't know if the seniors have any good suggestions?" Du Yueming said along his train of thought.
"Nothing to suggest. You can stay with me and do some research, so I can train you by the way. I don't know how long this war will last, but I have a hunch that the pattern of the continent is definitely going to change this time. And in troubled times, a little more strength will give you more capital to survive. Tonglian took a sip of wine and said leisurely.
"Your Excellency seems to want me to stay. Du Yueming remained silent. As a thoughtful person, he is not easily fooled.
"Well, that's right. I think you're a smart boy, and if you stay, you can help me, and I can help you. In a sense, we're a win-win. "The copper smelting did not hide it.
"Okay, then I'll stay. Du Yueming agreed.
Judging from the current situation, staying is indeed his best choice, and there is no concealment between Tong Lian's words, which must be accurate.
"Would you like a drink now?" said Bronze Refining with a toast.
"Can be considered. Du Yueming smiled.
