Chapter Seventy-Eight: Post-War Matters
As soon as Fei Lian was defeated, the herd of beasts without its leadership seemed to have lost its pillars, and soon scattered and fled. At this time, the city lord of the Third Acropolis hurriedly opened the city gate and personally led a team of soldiers to meet the city lord, and Chen Yuan and the three of them were also among them.
"Sister Ting, are you okay?" Chen Yuan and his party found Yang Ting and the dying Fei Lian thousands of meters away from the city, Chen Yuan saw Yang Ting with a pale face, and hurriedly asked. Fei Lian injured Yang Ting with a wind sickle for the first time, Chen Yuan saw it really on the city wall, and after that, he experienced a war of attrition for nearly half an hour, even if he knew that Yang Ting's cultivation was profound, Chen Yuan was still a little worried about her situation.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Shi Ming, you lock up the strange beast in the pit and bring it back to the city, and let people clean up the battlefield, the bodies of these strange beasts are very valuable, bring them back to the city, ask the people in the appraisal industry to identify them one by one, so as to make up for the losses caused by this battle, and gather all the craftsmen in the city to repair the city wall tomorrow. Yang Ting responded to Chen Yuan simply, and then began to give orders to the Acropolis Lord and his subordinate soldiers.
The Acropolis Lord was a middle-aged man, named Shi Ming, with a Chinese face, a beard, and knotted muscles all over his body, and when Yang Ting and Chen Yuan had not yet arrived, it was he who quickly organized the guards and blocked the first wave of the beast tide. When Yang Ting and his entourage arrived, he was scolding and scolding some people to clean up the strange beasts that had invaded the city, and it was he who led the defenders back to the city wall in time to resolve the crisis faced by Chen Yuan. Bravely taking the lead in the battle, taking the lead, and fighting side by side on the city wall for a period of time, Chen Yuan and the three of them had a good impression of this acropolis city lord.
But it was such a rough man, when facing Yang Ting, he didn't say a word, knelt on the ground, and said: "Lord City, your subordinates have failed to live up to your expectations and failed to protect the Third Acropolis well, you can punish me." There was great self-reproach and shame in his tone, and he just bowed his head and knelt there covered in blood.
"Shi Ming, get up. Yang Ting said. "But ······" I said tell you to get up!Don't you understand!" Shi Ming was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Ting's stern voice. Yang Ting said with a pale face: "I know that the Third Acropolis has suffered huge losses this time, and this time the beast tide is extremely powerful, even I have been injured like this, and it is already very good that you can defend it." You are the Acropolis Lord I personally selected, don't embarrass me here! What is the use of a big old man feeling sorry for himself here, hurry up and go clean up the battlefield for me!"
As the city lord who was personally selected, Yang Ting certainly knew what Shi Ming was thinking. When Yang Ting chose him to be the city lord, she took a fancy to Shi Ming, who was affectionate and righteous, a little arrogant, but she knew right from wrong. Facts have proved that Yang Ting's choice was not wrong, under Shi Ming's rule, the original atmosphere of the Third Acropolis has changed a lot, and the whole city has become more humane, not as indifferent as before. Although the beast tide has passed, the third acropolis has suffered heavy losses, and the fierceness of the battle can be seen from the half-collapsed city wall on the west side, many soldiers have died, Shi Ming feels sorry for the families of these soldiers, it is because he did not protect the third acropolis well, so he came to ask himself for guilt.
But Yang Ting knew that Shi Ming had done his best to be in the current situation, so he didn't intend to blame him, and he just hoped that he could cheer up and do what an Acropolis Lord should do after the big battle.
Under Yang Ting's reprimand, Shi Ming began to command his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and dragged Fei Lian, who was embedded in the pit, out of it, tied it with iron chains, and transported it back to the city. Shi Ming sent Yang Ting back to the Acropolis City Lord's Mansion and invited the best doctor in the city to diagnose and dispense medicine for Yang Ting and help Yang Ting deal with her injuries. After the battle, Yang Ting, who was relaxed, fell asleep under the doctor's conditioning, and Chen Yuan and the three of them were also exhausted after a battle, and returned to the accommodation arranged for them by Shi Ming to rest. On this day, the Third Acropolis was lit up at night, the city was defended, and many of the people who had left returned here, after all, this was their home, and those who did not leave celebrated the victory of the city, except for the occasional cry of pain from the wounded soldiers, there was silence, and these soldiers who had fought all day were tired.
The next day, the three of Chen Yuan, who had rested all night, came to the City Lord's Mansion to visit Yang Ting. After a whole night's rest, coupled with the support of deep cultivation, Yang Ting seemed to be fine. But Zhang Ling'er and Feng Sanqi's state was very poor, because they experienced killing for the first time, saw death, those scenes of blood splashing and some people wailing and crying seemed to be imprinted in their minds, and they lingered all night, so they didn't rest well at all this night, but Chen Yuan slept well, and the whole person looked radiant.
Of course, Yang Ting knew why Zhang Ling'er's sister and brother had a very bad face, because when she first came into contact with such a scene, she didn't even perform as well as the two of them, and what made her strange was Chen Yuan, this child was too plain after experiencing a tragic fight, which made her very puzzled. "Seeing such a bloody and tragic picture, don't you feel a little uncomfortable?" Yang Ting asked Chen Yuan in surprise.
"He's a pervert!freak!cold-blooded animal!" Zhang Ling'er shouted very angrily after hearing Yang Ting's question. As a very strong girl, although Zhang Linger has suffered two losses in the hands of Chen Yuan, but the character of not admitting defeat makes her show greater courage and perseverance to make herself stronger, although she has become a friend, but Zhang Linger has always felt that she is worse than Chen Yuan, and she has always been not very convinced by Chen Yuan.
After this battle, she finally gave up the idea of competing with Chen Yuan. Because Chen Yuan seems to be familiar with these scenes, he is not only calm and wise on the battlefield, but also shows extremely strong combat effectiveness, especially the terrifying ability to continue fighting, which has completely dispelled Zhang Ling'er's idea of defeating Chen Yuan in a short time, of course, it is still okay to vent it mouthfully.
Hearing Zhang Ling'er's evaluation, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I have been crawling in the mountains and forests since I was a child, and in hunting, bloodshed, disability and even death are very common, so it's good to get used to it." ”
Zhang Ling'er turned a deaf ear to Chen Yuan's explanation, but came to Yang Ting's bed and sat down, and complained to Yang Ting: "Sister Ting, you don't know how perverted he is. Didn't Sanqi and I feel uncomfortable seeing those things that day? Speaking of this, Zhang Ling'er couldn't help blushing, but the embarrassment at that time was really seen by Yang Ting and Chen Yuan.
Then she continued: "Then didn't you just go to deal with that big guy, the beast herd attacked again, this guy alone blocked most of the strange beasts that climbed up, and when we and the defenders arrived, there were eight strange beasts besieging him, but he still looked at ease, and then he exploded the head of a strange beast, which scared off the strange beasts besieging him."
The most terrifying thing is his continuous combat effectiveness, for most of the hour, he has been fighting, I have never seen him exhausted, what do you say he is not a pervert? The terrible thing is that he has killed at least more than 50 strange beasts, either headshots or corpses, and the killing is covered in blood. Then you can eat the half-cooked and blood-streaked beast meat at dinner. That's not the point, the most excessive thing is that he also sandwiched a large piece of it in the bowl of Sanqi and me, and he said that he should replenish energy after the war! Do you say that he is a cold-blooded animal!"
Yang Ting because of her injury, although her complexion has recovered a little, it is obviously not suitable to get up and walk around, lying on the bed and listening to Zhang Ling'er's "blood and tears accusation" to Chen Yuan, Yang Ting couldn't help but smile, and at the same time secretly frightened.
Although the overall strength of this beast tide is not high, it is still based on the quenching of the body and the realm of knowing the ghost, relying on his own strength to block eight strange beasts, and can continue to fight for such a long time, is this child in front of him really only twelve years old? Yang Ting couldn't help but have such a question in her heart, you must know that she is already a type of person with good talent, but at the age of twelve, she definitely does not have such a high combat power, and she has such a mature mind.
"By the way, Sister Ting, where are you holding that Feilian, I want to meet it. After laughing for a while, Chen Yuan said the purpose of this trip.
"It should be locked in the dungeon by Shi Ming, speaking of that strange beast, I have never seen such a strange beast, it seems to have wisdom that is not weaker than humans. You can name it and tell me its stats and attacks, so you can know something. But are you sure you want to see it? I can clearly feel its irritability during the battle with it, and although it has been captured, it is still dangerous, and you may be injured. Yang Ting solemnly said to Chen Yuan, she has a deep understanding of Fei Lian's horror, not to mention the strong elemental control, and even judges the situation and uses her own advantages. If Yang Ting hadn't calmed down at the critical moment and discovered its flaws through observation, the outcome of this battle would not have been so good.
"Don't worry, Sister Ting, I am measured and will not be reckless. Chen Yuan said. "I'm going too! I also want to see what kind of strange beast Zhang can injure a big master like Sister Ting. When Zhang Ling'er heard that Chen Yuan was going to find the strange beast that caused the outbreak of the beast tide, she was also immediately interested, and shouted that she was going to go together. "Then I'll go too, and see it. Feng Sanqi also said.
"Alright then, stay safe and don't get too close. Yang Ting looked at Chen Yuan with a confident look, although she was a little worried, she still agreed to Chen Yuan's request. She called Shi Ming and asked him to take Chen Yuan and the three of them to find the Fei Lian, and told Shi Ming to protect the three of them. Chen Yuan gave Yang Ting a reassuring look, and then took Feng Sanqi and the two of them to follow Shi Ming to the dungeon where Fei Lian was imprisoned.
Under the leadership of Shi Ming, several people left the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the dungeon, and on the way, Chen Yuan saw a lot of soldiers and craftsmen busy. After the beast tide, the third acropolis is in ruins, repairing the city walls, repairing houses, treating the wounded, comforting the relatives of the dead and wounded, a lot of work is being carried out in an orderly manner, and I can't help but look at Shi Ming who led the way in front of me. I didn't expect that this five-year-old and three-coarse man in front of him would handle all the affairs in the city in an orderly manner, which is really unseemly.
