Chapter 269: There Is No Winter Movement

Neverwinter in October is exceptionally deserted.

After suffering from plagues, saint-killings, and military plagues, Neverwinter seemed to have been stripped of its spirits, leaving only a scrawny handful.

Surprisingly, the patient is now in a calm mood. Even though the plague and the plague had reduced Neverwinter by a quarter, the city did not become resentful - the tens of thousands of lizards and Luskans who died outside the city washed away the resentment in the chests of the Neverwinters.

It's so painful, it's so painful—all enemies are punished!

This revenge is really clean!

Speaking of which, on the day the city was broken, the men on the city walls were almost dead, and although the temple was all transformed into a sacred sanctuary, it could accommodate everyone for a while. The roads outside are cut off, and the reptiles are about to rush into the city, burn and plunder, and lead the beasts to eat people (whether it is the captured survivors or the citizens who escaped the catastrophe, they all agree to prove that the reptiles are cannibal)!

However, at this time, the shop under the name of Shen Yan, who now almost everyone knows, is the younger brother of the commander, suddenly erupted into the sky with a glass fountain!

No one could hide this thing, because the fountain was hundreds of meters high, and its range encompassed the entire territory of Neverwinter. Almost all the people of Neverwinter were drawn to that moment, they all knew what was going on, and the gods couldn't stop their eyes.

Nowadays, many people say that it is the second most beautiful scenery they have ever seen in their lives.

The first beauty is, of course, the white pillars that lead to heaven when the temple opens its divine protection......

The reptilian is out of luck!

Due to the silent disappearance of Prescott, the front-line commander of the reptile, the reptile queen Morag disappeared with all the areas on the side of the temple. Then the disease spread into the subplane of the reptile, and the entire reptile empire collapsed in an instant.

They shut down the plane passage and start killing each other!

Generally speaking, human beings are a hierarchical and ladder society, and after suffering from the plague, the vast majority of people are left with compassion for things and things. And the reptile is a beehive society, and the queen has supreme authority and wisdom. But as soon as the queen disappears, what remains fades into a beast - that's not an adjective!

The virus first attacks the most vulnerable perceptual spectacle of the reptile, the tentacles and eyes, whether compound eyes or eye columns. After "blindness", fear takes over their consciousness, and they begin to run around, then bite and eat anything they touch...... This is what happens within the subplane, where the so-called civilization ornaments are torn off.

And beyond the plane, the invading armies of Neverwinter. They first left Neverwinter in a hurry, and then they were also blinded. These reptiles roam the wilderness, killing each other when they come across, or slowly rotting through hunger and disease—and yet in reality, they are right under the noses of the Neverwinters!

Everyone knows that it was the commander's younger brother who did it, and he released a plague on the reptilian people!

But no one thinks it's wrong, and when it comes to it, the commander's brother has done a great job of relieving his hatred!

For a whole month, the Neverwinter closed the three gates to keep the blind reptiles out of the city, and only entered and exited the city by water. Yet thousands of people still stand on the city walls every day, just to watch the reptiles slowly die!

Then I cried bitterly, left all my sorrows and pains behind, and began to move on to a new life.

*****

After the war, there were many people who were originally thought to be "sacrificed" and returned to the world.

For example, the owner of the moonstone mask reopened the door and hung a pink curtain, and colorful women filled the hall to comfort the traumatized guests with their tenderness and affection. The only thing that has changed is that the Star Shield (one of the symbols of the Nine Guards of Winterlessness) that had been hung on the front wall was removed and thrown into the toilet as an ornament.

There was also the commander of the City Guard, Bivis, who was still alive and was found while the body was being collected. Bevis had a broken arm, but was still promoted as the temporary commander of the city guard - despite his lack of talent, he never took down the walls during the war, gaining the respect of all!

Besides, the city guards are also a group of soldiers with missing arms and legs, and it is only fitting for him to command them.

There was also the lord's chief staff, Jarvis, who had been seen standing behind Nasher forever, but now known to have been left behind by Nasher when he fled.

Now Jarvis has opened the door of the Blue Palace with his own hands, and he carries a table in front of the door, like a recorder. He allowed each citizen to take one thing from the Blue Palace as compensation for Nasher's escape - two for those who proved to be members of the city guards!

This move nailed Nasher to the pillar of shame with his own hands!

Half a month after the battle, Lord Nasher appeared with a small team not far from the city gates. He cleared the surrounding reptiles as he loudly declared his power and plea for help to Neverwinter—only to receive a cold stare from the walls.

He eventually fled south before being surrounded by a surging stream of reptilian people.

Arthur and the others became the heroes of Neverwinter once again, and when countless pieces of information were gathered after the war, people got to know them again. Team Arthur wasn't perfect, but they kept working hard and never gave up.

War makes people completely let go of the barriers in their hearts, you know? The last time Arthur's team returned triumphantly, they were like the conquerors of Neverwinter, they were dressed in gold and swaggering, and they only talked to the nobles! And this time, the Neverwinter people really accepted them, and from then on they were regarded as a member of Neverwinter.

The Neverwinter waited, waiting for the man in armor to return.

By the way, there's one more little thing.

Luskan's 10,000-strong expeditionary force was scattered......

On their way back to Luskan, they are toyed with by the Crossroads Fortress!

The Crossroads Fortress has changed drastically from the last time they saw it, from an inn to a real fortress with deep walls! If that's all it takes, forget it, it's a big deal to get around. But if a fortress can jump up and down in front of you, saying, "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave the road to buy money", so that you can't walk away if you want to...... That's pretty scary!

Coupled with the dwarven steam heavy machine guns, reinforcements from Silvermoon City and Milkan, the invincible elven archers of the fortress itself, and the unbribed purchase of his own family, the 10,000 men finally fell into a split.

More than half of the men were co-opted by the Kugalus, and the rest were scattered.

The Seven Towers of Luskan are finally a thing of the past, and the era of the city lord has officially arrived.

*****

In November, a white-gold dragon carrying two ladies landed in the square in front of the Blue Palace.

They rode across the void on the back of a dragon, and now they looked dusty, but they didn't lose their grace.

Erebeth's scarred armor made her look like a perfect match for Neverwinter. Wearing a mage's robes and a touching temperament, Erastro was quickly recognized.

The whole combination is like a knight wrapped in holy light, a lady with an elegant temperament...... and their mounts.

"The evil queen of the reptilian empire, the demigod Morag has been slain by me!" Erebeth raised his knight's sword and announced loudly to the Neverwinters.

"I, Erebeth de Timarand, will succeed as Lord of Neverwinter!"
