Chapter 32: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow

To my surprise, he called the thunderous "Night of the Devil" in history "a rebellion"

Olle is known in history as the "Emperor of Wine", and even hung the title of "the most incompetent emperor", and according to historical records, the disaster of Canossa contributed to the establishment of the Orr Empire, and also made the wise and talented Odd I immortal.

In fact, there has been no evidence that this was a deliberate action, and the term "rebellion" is still up for debate, although there are some doubts in the historical record, and it is undeniable that most of them have been ignored and perhaps there is no need to pursue them - the days of war are long gone, and the unwavering alliance between the Silva and Orr empires now makes us willing to let go of the past.

- Excerpt from the Codex of the Scholar Schefeller

The light of that night illuminated many places.

Amazingly, after the demon disappeared, many people heard the sound of fierce fighting, but no one knew what was really happening.

The boy who had impressed some was gone.

Shui Lian'er withdrew from the Red Forest Mercenary Group, and Jade Forest immediately announced the official dissolution of the Mercenary Group.

Then, Emerald Grove made good on her promise, and since then she has had the same skin around her waist as the dwarf Grimes.

Grimes decided to continue looking north for the right mercenary group, he loves the adventurous life and the sour rye beer, and as he did more than a decade ago, he still believes that combat is the way dwarves should live.

It rained for several days.

It was only after three days that calm was restored to the city of Merry.

The original Governor's Palace planned to build a memorial square to commemorate the soldiers and civilians who died in the devil's night, the black monument about 5 meters high and 2 meters wide is engraved with names, and there is only a finger-wide space between the names, this black stone tablet will be placed in the center after the square is completed, and the lower right corner of the stone tablet records the number of deaths, a total of 13,564 people.

The dead mercenaries had no names.

The ruins were bustling with laborers busy repairing their post-war repairs, the lavish Doge's Palace was flattened, and there was a huge crater in which countless bones and even keels were found.

However, no one said anything, and many people saw the devil's figure, and they would only think that it was the devil's work.

Two foreign troops were stationed in Meili City, one by one they were heavily guarded and their expressions were cold, but careful people could always find that the fatigue between the eyebrows of these soldiers could not be concealed, and they not only undertook the task of patrolling and maintaining law and order, but almost half of them participated in the post-disaster reconstruction of Meili City.

With the Governor's Palace of Andrei as the center, the building collapsed completely within 5,000 meters, and the resettlement of refugees and the aftermath of the work made the entire Civil Affairs Department busy, and priests can be seen everywhere in the city, most of them came from neighboring provinces, bringing some emergency supplies to participate in the rescue work.

On the fourth day, twelve Komodo Behemoths were selected from the Legion to join the demolition of the building, and this war behemoth from the Kingdom of Bimon brought great convenience to the search and rescue and the destruction of the building.

On the fifth day, it was confirmed that the drinking water source in the city was contaminated by death magic, and the Urban Construction Department quickly organized the dispatch of emergency water supply, began to fill in the polluted canal, and the new canal began to be excavated, and the priests of the Temple of Life in Meili City urgently sought the help of more Temple of Life.

On the sixth day, the Alliance merchants provided a large number of tents and food for the victims of Meri City, accompanied by three high priests, who made an important contribution to preventing the outbreak of the plague.

On the seventh day, Duke André held a mobilization speech in the central square, and announced the establishment of the Municipal Reconstruction Department, and increased investment in the restoration and reconstruction, while thanking the alliance for the selfless rescue of commerce and trade, strongly condemned the behavior of His Royal Highness Ole commanding the army to attack the city of Merry, accusing him of ambition and suspicion, incurring the revenge of the devil, and bringing great disasters to the people of the city.

On the same day, the Urban Development Department announced that the new water source was also contaminated, and 10 nearby towns, including Egdal, Starcom and Osri, were also polluted to varying degrees.

On the eighth day, 20 sacrificial high priests participated in the water purification operation, and 485 people in the city of Meri died of sewage infection, and several low-level necromancers became scapegoats, they were mutilated by angry people, and their bodies hung on the city walls.

......

As normal order was restored, the people began to regain their livelihood and began to soak in taverns in their spare time, where business was getting better day by day, and the night of the demons was soon spread throughout the continent by troubadours, many of whom had witnessed the bloody scene and told of the dangers, but most of the people who talked about it did not experience real pain.

Duke André was praised for his efforts to revitalize the town, and wise rulers always understood a few common truths, one of which was that the tongue of the masses would never be silent.

At the beginning of May, the heat and dryness that had been dissipated by the rain returned.

The weather has been exceptionally good these days, the summer sky is sky, the sun is shining, the dilapidated central street is particularly lively, the spacious pavement is paved with gravel, the roadbed surface is controlled at a reasonable thickness, and the remaining days will be carried out to pour the clay layer, at the same time, the shops on both sides of the road are also being built intensively, the arrival of the alliance business has injected strong vitality into the economy of Merry City, people cheer and look forward to the future, the newly appointed executive has issued a long-term redevelopment plan, but the previous executive who unfortunately died on the devil's night is rarely remembered, this poor guy didn't even have a cemetery, and his family also died in the devil's night。

In short, everything is thriving and thriving.

The disaster tested people's tenacity and optimism.

The people of Canossa, however, were gloomy and clouded by the dark clouds of war.

His highness Oriel's 50,000 troops were stationed in the Gombo Gorge, blocking the main road to Meri City, and it was logical that Orel should do something at this time, but he chose to remain silent and stationed in the Gombo Gorge as if he had taken root.

It is only 10 km from the city of Canossa.

However, few people know that on the third morning of the Demon Night, Ory received a secret letter from the imperial capital, and after reading it, he waved everyone away with a blank face, and from that moment on, he never stepped out of the tent.

Watching the steady stream of fine wine delivered to the tent, Laurie thought about the firm feeling of His Royal Highness Ole before the banquet, he couldn't help but be curious about the content of the sealed letter, and the moment before he carefully studied the battle map of His Royal Highness Ole, after reading the secret letter, he never issued any orders.

However, he was also duty-bound, and today he was ordered to return to the headquarters of the Temple of Life, the city of San Arnold, the capital of life, when the sacred farewell ceremony was canceled due to Orye's hangover.

Laurie's chin was full of stubble, he hadn't trimmed it in days, his eyes were red from staying up late, his left shoulder was wrapped in gauze, and his blood showed a small patch of red, his gaze lingered on the tent for a moment, and the hand at his waist clenched the hilt of his sword hard, and then climbed up to the griffon's tall, sturdy body with a disappointed expression.

The incandescent sun shines brightly, and behind him are two huge stone walls, which are facing each other in a corner shape, and under the majestic painting style, the stone city in the distance is faintly visible.

Laurie blinked vigorously, the griffin's broad back was covered with soft velvet, and on top of it lay a girl, curled up like a baby in swaddling clothes, his eyes were thick with tenderness, and his slightly hoarse voice was still apologetic: "Ada, you can eat something, it's been many days, hey, your mother will be very distressed to see you so haggard." ”

Silent as water.

"Dear Chief Laurie, may the God of War bless you, praise the Goddess of Life, and may you have the best of luck. At this moment, a silver-armored warrior stepped forward and gave a standard Silva Imperial military salute.

"Thank you, Kane, the glory of the God of War is with you. Laurie bowed his head slightly, looking at the figure of the warrior, or rather, he tilted his head slightly.

The sky is clean like a mirror, there are no clouds.

Laurie always felt that his eyes were unusually dry, and he could only be more comfortable if he squinted hard.

It was too bright, even more dazzling than the divine light of the dome of the Temple of Light.

The wound left by the arrow of the Emerald Forest is still painful, and the burst effect makes it impossible for the priest to completely heal, and the muscles that grow will refill the hole in the shoulder, leaving a scar, but it is nothing, he has long said to the Emerald Forest that the relationship without an ending will end after all.

He thought it was over, this arrow could have killed him, but no, all the resentment of the Jade Forest was focused on this cloud-piercing arrow, but he never gave up his heart, even as an enemy fighting for life and death.

"Hey, there is nothing that you can't let go, people who can't have it, you will always forget it slowly, give up appropriately, it's an elegant turn in life, and when you think back many years later, you will find that the sadness at this time is not worth it at all. ”

Laurie was just muttering to himself, he didn't expect Ada to understand, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Ada's childish voice: "I'm really... Would love to... Noah... I... Don't want him dead. ”

Her voice was obviously very childish, but it was very sad and sad to listen to.

Laurie shaved Ada's crying little nose and half-jokingly, "I know you like him a lot, but don't you notice that he always wants to dump you?"

"Hmph. Ida pursed her mouth, hugged her knees, and lowered her head.

The griffons rose into the air, and the wind whistled through the mouth of the canyon to the place.

There were two voices, a man and a woman.

The female voice is childish but stubborn and crisp, and there is a trace of anger in her tone, even with some crying, but it is very crisp and neat, and her voice is loud.

The male voice is lazy and hoarse, with a little banter.

"If Noah survives, I swear to the goddess of life that I will never pester him again!"

"Haha, he's going to survive. ”
