Chapter 70: Prayer in the Snow

"To the west of the city, it is a slum, it is a dilapidated city, even if there is a loss, we can bear it, send a few gentlemen to inform them at once, let everyone evacuate temporarily, and be sure to empty it before nightfall. ”

In the city hall's office, the mayor of Komul City listened to his assistant's report, and after a little thought, he determined a city area as a location to destroy the dragon, and then said,

"What help do they want, cooperate as much as possible, and definitely not let the dragon continue to destroy Komur City!"

Although he had a little trouble with the fact that the Silvermoon Sect failed to kill the dragon on the spot, and the relaxed appearance of the dragon flapping its wings and leaving even caused the mayor to kick over a decorative vase on the spot, now the Komur City Government still has to pinch its nose and fully cooperate with the Silvermoon Sect.

There is no way, who let only the Silver Moon Sect in the city now have enough manpower to deal with the dragon, it is impossible for the imperial government's support team to arrive in a short time, and can only hope that they will deal with this dragon.

Under the premise of the government's notice and full cooperation, this dragon slaying operation that has not been covered up from the beginning has begun.

This is of course a good thing for the citizens of Komul, after all, no one wants to worry all day if a dragon will suddenly fly over their heads, followed by a burst of unbridled destruction, the loss of money is one thing, their own life is the most important thing.

The situation inside the Komul train station had already been photographed and distributed throughout the city by some news agencies that wanted to gain attention, and the danger of the dragon was naturally known throughout the city.

But for the people in the west of the city, it's not that simple.

It's true that this is a slum, but the question is, does the slum deserve to be destroyed?

The government's announcement made it clear that for the safety of the entire city of Komur, it was hoped that the residents of the western part of the city would be able to leave their homes for the time being, as it was about to become a battlefield for the battle against the dragons

Isn't that bullying?

Because they don't have money, they're going to be sacrificed?

If the government is willing to spend money to help them renovate their houses later, of course, this is fine, but the Komur government did not mention this in the whole notice, just let them leave as soon as possible, otherwise they will bear the consequences!

At the end of the day, these people in the slums are inevitably less important to the government than their counterparts in other urban areas.

Of course, this is not to say that the government does not treat them as human beings, in fact, if it were a normal situation, the Komur government would be more than happy to pay a repair fee as compensation, but the current situation is that there are dozens of affected places in the entire city of Komur, and even a few places where the fire is larger are still being extinguished.

And in these damaged areas, there are a lot of public facilities, including streets, street lights, flower beds along the streets, and green plants, which are all money!

Komur is not an industrial city like Corta, its economy is only mediocre, and they are stretched to the limit by spending the cost of repairs, so how can they afford to take care of these people's houses.

Not to mention that the government's focus is now on disaster relief.

In this case, the swearing and resentment of the people in the slums naturally appeared.

Donald and his party stood on the side of the street, watching as a large number of people dragged their families out of the block in front of them.

"I've inquired and the Komur government wants to treat the western part of the city as a battlefield, so let these people leave in advance. ”

Stephanie came back and said after asking a few people on the side.

"It should be said that it is a good opportunity for the people of the Silvermoon Sect to do this, and they have taken the initiative to help us determine the location where the dragon will stay in the future, and we will rush to the scene when the time comes, Stephanie, the map of Komur City. ”

"Here you go. ”

"The train station should not be open in the next few days, and the new line will enter East Germany from here, so all you have to do next is to go and buy a horse-drawn carriage and some necessary supplies as soon as possible, and wait for me here. ”

The map had just been bought, and Donald's gaze wandered over it, pointing to somewhere to the east and saying,

They needed a place to meet.

"Donald, don't you really need us to help? at least I or Lilo will leave one as insurance in case of an emergency. ”

Anthony frowned slightly, he agreed with Donald's plan, but he was also a little worried.

After all, this time the opponent is different from the past, the dragon or the Silver Moon Sect, no matter which side it is, Donald is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

Donald, on the other hand, wanted to face it alone.

"No, this time it's not to fight, it's to try, I can't guarantee the success of the plan myself, once it fails, what I'm going to think about is not how to fight, but how to escape, I have dimensional strides and horse calls, as long as I want to run, there should be no problem, if you and Lilo follow me, I still have to pay attention to you at that time, but it is easy to be distracted. ”

Folding the map back into Anthony's arms, Donald turned sideways to avoid a group of warriors on horseback and in silver armor, and said in a deep voice.

"Alright then, be careful yourself, don't take too many risks, you have to remember that this plan is not something that must be completed, if you really encounter difficulties, give up as soon as possible!"

Anthony knew he couldn't change Donald's mind, so he could only remind him again.

"Well, you guys go first, a few of us standing here are easy to attract the attention of others. ”

Raising his hand to press the silk top hat on his head, Donald walked in the opposite direction along the crowd.

As twilight fell, several large fires in Komul were finally extinguished, leaving only wisps of black smoke floating into the sky.

The night in the otherwise bustling city of Komul is completely deserted, and the streets are left with only a few people with large bags and small bags wandering around, who have no money to stay in hotels, and can only look for some abandoned houses or sheds for a night.

I don't know when it began, there were snowflakes falling in the night sky, and the momentum was not large, but the momentum had a continuous meaning.

Heavy artillery wagons ran through the streets dragged by horses, wheels crunching against masonry.

"How many shells were made?"

Infinita stood on the edge of a flower bed in the west of the city, looking at the passing gun carriages and asking the government officials next to her.

"It's not much, it's too short, even if you launch all the workshops, you only rush to make three boxes, a total of twenty bombs, can I take the liberty of asking what the powder you asked to fill the shells for?"

The munitions depot in the city of Komur did not store too many heavy munitions, after all, the Ryan Empire had not fought a war for many years, and now these three artillery trucks were considered "antiques", and even the shells were made improvised in a hurry.

"Those were psychedelic powders, and they were used in the maximum dose, so that the dragon would be incapacitated for a short period of time, so that we could do it. ”

For this ambush, the Silver Moon Sect can be said to have taken out all the things that could be used in the warehouse, and psychedelic powder is just one of them.

Like the rifle she had in her hand now, the steam-powered machine gun was engraved with an intricate circle of magic, and each bullet carried a powerful armor-piercing and scorching effect when it burst out of the chamber.

This will serve as a weapon they will use in the first phase of their fight against the dragons.

There is also a second stage, a third stage

After nearly two hours of discussion at noon, gathering the wisdom of the entire Silver Moon Guardian's high-level leaders, there was still some content after all.

So when exactly will the dragon come?

With a steam spear in one hand and the hilt of the sword at her waist in the other, Infinita was actually looking forward to the dragon's arrival.

Because only when there is an enemy, she can go to battle and get promoted through fighting.

"Great Lady Silvermoon, I would like to dedicate everything to you, and ask you to guide me in the path of revenge. ”

Snowflakes fell on the spear, and the hand that had been on the hilt of the sword drew an arc like a crescent moon on her chest, and Infinita prayed softly.

At this moment, perhaps the gods heard her prayers.

When she opened her eyes again, a familiar figure flashed in the falling snow in front of her.
