Verse 208, the true people
Successfully taking out the undead flesh beast, Dante hurried back to Cogwheel on the black wind. On the way, he used the magic raven to communicate with Gad: "Gad, are there any undead zombies on the castle and farm?" ”
Gade immediately replied, "Master, I have arranged for Gollum to patrol around with the little monsters. No undead monsters appear near castles and farms. Rest assured! ”
"That's good. Don't relax and wait until I get back. Dante gave the order to Gade and ended the call.
When he rode to the gate of Coggytown, he found that Ash had carried Lisa to the hospital in the town, and the ground guards were still nervously ringing. It seems that there are no new undead zombies coming. The zombie monsters that the previous refugees turned into have all been killed by the guards.
Dante saw that the refugees who were still normal were still standing in a crowd at the corner of the wall by the gate, at a loss. They have no leader at all, they are just a mess. If it weren't for the Jijīng guards who helped them stop the zombies, they would all have died here.
Dante jumped off his horse, walked over to the captain of the ground guard, pointed to the refugees, and said, "The monsters have been destroyed." Well, let these innocent people in. Even if they sit on the side of the road. ”
Still reluctant, Captain Dijīng said, "Mr. Dante, please don't embarrass me. I really couldn't be the master without Mr. Grandet's authorization. ”
"Boom"
At this moment, thunder began to roar in the sky, accompanied by lightning from time to time, and it seemed as if it was going to rain. It's late at night, and if it rains, the refugees standing outside will definitely not be able to shelter from the rain, and many of them will get sick from getting wet, which will be even more troublesome.
In addition to adult men and women, there were also many elderly people and children. They fled in a panic just now, and they didn't bring out their belongings at all, and now they are empty-handed. There are many children who are crying, probably hungry.
Dante looked at the refugees and felt that he could do something. Although the refugees can't do anything for the Demon King Army right now, they are still a population. If the Demon King Army wants to expand its power in the future, it is essential to attract new people to join.
Dante roughly counted the group of refugees, men, women, and children combined, about 500 people, and I don't know how many of their families were broken up because of the undead zombie attack. Don't worry about it for now!
Thinking of this, Dante summons a magic raven to contact Grande, who is far away in Gem Harbor. The magic crow flew out and quickly contacted Grande. Dante also seemed anxious when he heard Grandet's tone! Grandet was anxious and said, "Dante, thank goodness that you have finally found me!" How's going on over there in Cogger? ”
Dante replied, "Wait, is there something wrong with Gem Harbor?" Cogwheel has just been attacked by undead monsters. Those undead monsters were all refugees. ”
Grandet said, "Oh my God! It's all a mess! The Gem Harbor side was also attacked by undead monsters just now. There are a lot of scary guys popping up. Thankfully, though, there were guards and mercenaries to defend it. Now the situation is under control. I'm really scared to death! ”
When Dante heard his words, he thought to himself, it turned out that there were undead monsters in such a distant place. Who is putting this disgusting thing out there?
"Didi" "Didi"
Just as Dante was thinking about it, it began to rain. It looks like it's going to get bigger and bigger. He hurriedly said to Grande, "Grande, there are still some normal refugees here who need a place to hide. I want these people, and now I need to let them through the door. Say it to your guards. ”
"Huh?" Before Grandet could react, he asked, "Do you mean that you are going to take them to live in the castle?" ”
"Yes." Dante said, "Even if I beg you." Do me a favor. It's going to rain here, so I'm going to have to find a place for them to hide. ”
"Okay." Grandet agreed to Dante's request.
So, Dante walks up to Captain Jīng with a magic crow and asks Grande to speak to the captain. Captain Jīng received an order from Grande and agreed to let the refugees into the city of Cogwheel and take shelter from the rain in an empty warehouse. When the refugees saw that Dante was thinking of them, they paid their respects to him. Soon, Dante established some prestige among the refugees.
The rain became heavier and heavier in the middle of the night, and soon the fires in the residential areas outside the city were extinguished. Most of the blood stains on the ground were washed away by the rain. Only the corpses of the undead zombies who had been killed were piled up on the ground, and after being soaked by the rain, they looked even more disgusting.
It will take a lot of effort to get rid of these things.
After Dante settles the refugees, he quickly runs to the Cogwheel Hospital to see Ash and Lisa. Lisa had woken up, her eyes were black, she seemed to have been crying for a long time, she was tired of crying, and she curled up motionless and silent. Ash sat and watched her, in case something was going to happen to her.
Dante asks Ash, "How's it going?" She's okay now, right? ”
Ash shook her head and said worriedly, "Ah, I haven't said a word since I woke up." I don't know what she thinks. Seeing her like this, I didn't dare to speak. ”
"Lisa? Lisa? Dante walked to the side, shook his hand in front of Lisa, and whispered to her, "Can you see my hand numb?" Lisa? ”
Lisa seemed to react, looking up and looking at Dante and Ash with a little dementia, although their eyes were not bright, they seemed to have returned to normal. It's just that she was hit hard by the loss of her mother, so she won't be able to come back to her senses for a while.
Dante tells Ash his plan to bring the surviving refugees back to the castle and become his true subjects. It would be better for Lisa to take her to the castle to rest. Looking at Lisa's appearance, there shouldn't be any big problems. There are no nightmare beasts here in Gear Town, so you can rest assured. Wait for dawn and go. Ash agreed.
……
The next day, June 3rd, morning, the heavy rain that had been falling all night finally stopped. Dante and Ash take Lisa and about 500 refugees to the fairy farm. He originally wanted to take the refugees directly back to the Demon King's Castle, but he was afraid that they would be frightened by monster guards like Fenrir, so it was better to take them to the fairy farm.
The little monsters have set up several large sheds in the fairy farm for the refugees to settle down temporarily. Gade had been informed by Dante in advance, changed into a chéngrén-like form, and waited early at the fairy farm. He only left a few little monsters on the farm, and all the others went out on patrol.
By the time the refugees arrived at the fairy farm, they were already hungry and sleepy, and they really didn't have the strength to move forward. Many people don't care about the wet ground and sit in the greenhouse to rest. The child kept suffering, suffering all the way, and it seemed that he was hungry. Some children are cold and hungry, and are already in a coma, so they can only be carried by adults.
Gade was cautious, prepared a lot of boiled potatoes in advance, and filled many large kettles with drinking water, and let a few little monsters carry them over. As long as you eat and drink enough, the refugees should not be afraid of those little monsters.
"Master, I've brought all the food and drink." Gade walked up to Dante, pointed to a few little monsters behind him, and said, "Eat and drink and be full." Send it to them now, right? ”
"Send it." Dante nodded and said to Ash, "Ash, you ride the Black Wind and take Lisa back to the castle first." You're in the castle guarding her. After the black wind sends you off, you will come to the farm by yourself. Ash nodded, and rode the black wind to take Lisa to the castle.
Seeing Ash and Lisa go away, Dante took a bag full of boiled potatoes, took out one, and shouted to the refugees, "Civilians, come, this is the boiled potato I invite you to eat." Come and eat. Everyone's starving, right? Don't be afraid, there is still drinking water here, enough to eat and drink! ”
The refugees were starving, and when they saw the boiled potatoes in the hands of the Great Demon King, they all stood up and came over to grab food. The children grabbed a potato in one hand and ate it deliciously, laughing one after another. Sure enough, the refugees' attention was focused on the food, and the little monster standing aside didn't pay their attention at all.
"Master......" said Gade in a whisper to Dante, "I sent a few little monster scouting troops to the north last night. I guess I'll be back tomorrow. Let's see what news will happen. ”
Dante nodded and said, "This accident seems to be related to the griffon kingdom, let's see what progress can be made in the investigation?" (To be continued.) )
