With the destruction of the demons entrenched in the city of Harudal, its leader, the succubus Basil Lei, is completely gone. Kasha's plan for the reconquest of Harudel can be said to have been a complete success.

Although the battle is over, there is still a lot to be done.

First of all, although the demons have been destroyed, there are still tens of thousands of undead spirits active outside the city. If they are not eradicated, this land will not be able to provide a safe place for humanity. But fortunately, with the elimination of demons, these undead have also lost their unified command, and there is no need to fear them at all. With patience and continuous cleaning for a few days, they can be completely removed. In the same way, those humanoids who have surrendered to the demons will be wiped out. The other lone demons that remain in the county can't be spared.

Secondly, after the Rog Knights recovered the city of Harudal, they were also responsible for the preliminary clean-up of the county, repairing the infrastructure and buildings in the city, and finding a place where people could live. At the same time, send someone to send a message to the kingdom and wait for the royal family's messenger, after the envoy arrives, the results will be counted, Kasha only needs to hand in the soul mark stone obtained from the demon altar, then she will officially complete the kingdom's mission of 'recovering Harudel County', and receive the royal family's commendation and various mission rewards.

As for the post-Harudal reconquest, this is not something that Kasha needs to focus on. When the time comes, the Gaia Church, which believes in the doctrine of nature, will naturally have a large number of priests here, who will use magic to repair the wounds caused by the demon contamination of the land of Harudale County, and plant plants on the barren land to awaken the vitality of the land again. When the land is restored, the kingdom will mobilize more immigrants and appoint officials to manage it. Re-establish this place as a livable city for humans.

……

Li Xiang and the others were responsible for finding suitable areas for the human army entering the city to live temporarily. After looking around the city, I found some pretty good things.

Although the city of Harudel has been ruined, it still maintains more than sixty percent of the city's layout undamaged, and many of the walls have not collapsed, as long as they are properly repaired, they can still be used. And there are some good houses in the upper part of the city, which are covered with dust and cobwebs, but can be inhabited with a little cleaning.

The only trouble is that there is no water nearby, and there are many deep wells in the city that provide water sources, but they are dry and there are dense bones.

As a last resort, everyone had no choice but to fill in these abandoned wells completely, and then find new water veins to dig new wells.

The well-preserved houses of the nobles of the original upper city are the only ones that can survive for such a long time. In particular, the Governor's Mansion, which originally managed the county town, was built with marble for most of the materials, which made everyone have to sigh at its luxury!

In addition to the governor's palace, another place with complete architecture is the chapel of the god Helus in the city. Because the priesthood of the god Helus among the gods worshiped by the natives of the Iber world is 'holy' and 'light', the temple dedicated to the god Helus is also called the 'Temple of Light'.

However, the inside had turned a dark red, and the walls were covered with demonic patterns depicted by blood stains that had long since dried up, and the ground was covered with thick flesh foam. It's impossible to estimate how many evil sacrifices the demons have performed here!

The entire Temple of Light was filled with a pungent smell of blood, as well as an unsettling aura of evil.

Obviously, this place is no longer suitable for human presence, and there is no other way to remove this gore than to destroy it completely. Therefore, the companion with fire-based skills did not hesitate to shoot directly, and cast a fire-based spell to burn the entire hall clean!

The scorching flames surged through the hall, and the dried blood stains that had congealed on the ground and walls burned like grease, making a crackling sound.

The burning flame is getting bigger!

The thick smell of blood in the air gradually dimmed, and the walls of the hall were covered with strange symbols painted with blood. These black gases turned into distorted faces under the flames, pain, despair, and struggle, and these faces converged in the flames, and finally turned into a white light, and then disappeared in the flames.

Thundered!

The walls of the temple began to crumble, the stone pillars made of marble broke into pieces, and after the entire hall completely collapsed, a mass grave hidden in the ground and hollowed out by the demons appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Faintly, everyone seemed to hear a cry of despair, and it was clear that this was the place where the demons performed evil sacrifices and then made soul sigil stones. The demons first polluted the entire temple and then brought the captive humans here for an evil flesh sacrifice, not only by piling up human flesh and blood into altars, but also by extracting the souls of the poor and turning them into soul sigil stones that would provide energy to open the altars.

Now that the altar has been destroyed, and the sacrificial corpses have been returned to dust, it is believed that it will be enough to bring the evil spirits to rest.

After returning to their temporary residence, Li Xiang and others welcomed a group of visitors.

"Mr. Li Xiang! We don't have much food to bring, I'm afraid it's only enough to eat for five days, and it will be difficult to support the arrival of the messengers. See if you can ask your group to help......" Ma Weis, the leader of the Iron Fist Mercenary Regiment, came to Li Xiang and asked cautiously.

This time, the losses of the Iron Fist mercenary group were not small, nearly half of the members of the mercenary group of more than 100 people were killed or wounded, and almost all the supplies they carried were destroyed. The mercenaries were originally lightly armed, and even those large-scale mercenary groups mostly brought rations for about a week, and the rest were made from local materials. In previous missions, most of the mercenaries had to try to find food to feed themselves during the mission. After all, these mercenary groups perform missions in order to get good rewards, and the funds for supply have been converted into rewards in advance, so there is hardly much supply during the mission.

Therefore, in wartime, these mercenary groups will find their own way to first raise a batch of materials that are enough for the team to support the mission. Generally speaking, each mercenary group has a supply team. The logistics of the half-experienced, half-play adventure team are even more limited. Like the Xuanyuan Adventure Order, there are very few mercenaries who are actively supplied by the Rogge Knights as the employer.

Mavis was also helpless, his team was besieged because of carelessness, although he was lucky to escape, but the logistics materials were lost, and he had to ask Li Xiang and their Xuanyuan adventure group for help. In the face of such an elusive team, Mavis is inevitably lacking in confidence.

"Do you want us to help with some logistical supplies? It's not a problem, we're prepared to be a little rich. As long as the price offered by the head of the Marvis regiment is right, it can be negotiated. But before that, let's ask Captain Mavis to provide us with some manpower, and we need to sort out a place for more than 1,000 people to rest and recuperate, which is a very heavy task. Li Xiang naturally waved his hand to signal Mavis not to worry about these trivial matters, and then proposed.

"Okay! Mr. Li Xiang! Mavis nodded respectfully.

Now, he is discovering more and more how mysterious the people of the Xuanyuan Adventure Group in front of him are, with excellent and enviable equipment, strange and powerful combat skills and spells. What kind of powerful support is there behind these people?

……

Seven days later, the city of Harudal.

A team of flying demonic beasts descended from the sky to shatter the tranquility of the newly recovered city. It was a team of uniformly armed knights riding griffins and three officers riding pegasus. Flying mounts are very rare on the mainland, so their appearance naturally attracted onlookers from various teams in the city. The clothes and insignia on the armor of these visitors clearly indicate their identity.

The kingdom of the southern city-state of Tristram is a messenger of the royal family 'Leorik'.
