There were only about 400 soldiers who came to the aid of Scalley from the research base, and they almost formed a battalion.

But only 400 people... It took less than a day to almost clean up the entire Blood Crystal Beast that Scarray had destroyed.

Until the next morning, only a few lone Blood Crystal beasts wandered around the outer city of Scarre.

Relief work in the outer city also began in the morning and continued until noon, and several tents marked 'Earthquake Relief' had been erected in the open space outside the castle.

In addition to directing the team to carry out rescue work, Lu Cheng also had to communicate with the personnel on Scarley's side.

The envoy sent by Scarley was a bird.

"Attention to everyone, the location of the red light on the ground is the survivor who still has a life reaction, but this is limited to the population of this country, and considering the existence of survivors from other countries, it is necessary to search for them in the traditional way."

Lu Cheng put down the radio after communicating with the search team, and looked at the birds that had been standing on the table in front of him for a long time.

It's beautiful... Lu Cheng can only describe it this way, from the head to the neck is a fiery red hair, and then extends to the abdomen to begin to appear colorful colors.

The tail feathers are like the appearance of a male peacock when he is not spreading his wings, and this bird can only think of one word in Lu Cheng's mind... That's Phoenix.

"Visitor from another world, do you finally have time to listen to me?"

The bird had been standing on Lu Cheng's table for almost a morning.

Lu Cheng couldn't be so busy this morning that Lu Cheng didn't get a good night's sleep last night.

At night, it is to command the army and clean up the Blood Crystal Beasts, and during the day it is even busier, the arrangement of rescue work, the deployment of resources, etc... It wasn't until now that Lucheng had time to calm down and take a sip of hot tea.

"Tell me... Do you have any tasks to post to me? ”

Lu Cheng put down the cup in his hand and looked at the colorful bird in front of him.

As its gaze followed Lu Cheng's movements, Lu Cheng always felt that the bird had a big exclamation mark on its head.

"I have a group of kids who seem to want to get out of the city." It says.

"Your child? The people of Scarley? ”

Lu Cheng knew that this bird was the core of Scarley's leyline crystal, and in this world where groundhogs can talk, the crystals will become birds and talk, and Lu Cheng has been able to accept it.

"Yes, those children are the inhabitants of the inner city that you rescued last night, and they are preparing to escape from the rear of the city through a secret passage inside the castle."

There was not a trace of emotion in its voice, and Lu Cheng didn't understand whether it was trying to persuade Lu Cheng to stop those people, or if he was begging Lu Cheng to let those people go.

"What does it matter to us if your bear kid wants to run away?" Lu Cheng took a sip of green tea, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, just a little bit of wanting to laugh.

One of the things that anyone would choose to flee could foresee was that the throne inherited by Elena was not at all orthodox in the eyes of the other nobles of Scarre, and could already be included in the category of 'monarchicide'.

Therefore, after snatching the throne, this monarch slayer also brought a powerful foreign army, even if this army helped them solve the threat of the Blood Crystal Beast.

But in the eyes of many nobles and even commoners, they may be reduced to the status of slaves.

In this case, as long as there is a nobleman who takes the lead in escaping, most people will basically second...

"The people of Scalare are the source of my strength, and they may have left this time to seek refuge in other countries." It stared at Lu Cheng and said, "Aren't you worried? ”

"Worried? Why worry? We will try our best to save the people of your country as much as we have agreed, but we can't control those who don't want us to save them, and we have a principle that your country's internal affairs will not interfere. Lu Cheng said.

"I have made an alliance with you, and half of the power I draw will be given to you."

There was still not a trace of emotion in its voice, but it raised its wings and pointed at the crystallization on the back of Lu Cheng's hand.

"Alliance?"

Lu Cheng glanced at the back of his left hand, and because he had been busy for a day, Lu Cheng found that he had an inverted triangle mark under the crystal.

This is the mark that represents Scalley, and otherwise Lujo can feel the crystalline energy on the back of his hand recovering.

The amount of recovery is very small, maybe only about 0.1 milligram of energy per minute, but it is indeed gradually recovering.

"Can I continue to draw on the power of your leyline core?"

Lu Cheng waited quietly for three minutes, and the energy in it had almost recovered to about 0.5 milligrams, which was very little... But it's better than nothing.

"Yes, as long as my children are in a state of joy, happiness, surprise, etc., they will produce this magic, and as long as they are under the protection of my realm, I can absorb it."

Once again, it told Lucheng a very important thing.

"Is this the happiness index of residents?"

Listening to its description, Lu Cheng quickly thought of the data of residents' happiness index, which in some games is even linked to productivity.

"I can already guess that magic is a biological energy, but what about being happy and producing magic? Is that thing dopamine? ”

Lu Cheng thought the world was strange, but Lu Cheng listened to the groundhog say... They regain their magic by entering a meditative state, communicating with the heavens, leylines, and stars to draw on their magic.

Lu Cheng also tried it when he was in the car before, and he really absorbed it, but the amount was very small, so little that he could only absorb one microgram a second.

To put it simply, the mana stored by the Holy Crystal is a highly condensed energy, which is still a little different from the mana used by the caster.

"So how many people are there in Scarley now?" Lu Cheng put down the cup and looked at the bird and asked.

"There are 34,000 children alive today, scattered all over the world, and only 4,000 and 472 people are alive near the city... And those bear children in your mouth are leaving the city with almost half of them. It said.

"Did only a tenth of the population survive? What a terrible disaster. ”

In the past, Lucheng heard General Hubert say that the population of Scarley was about 300,000 in its heyday, which is a very small number from a modern point of view, but it is already a fairly good kingdom in this world.

"Do you want to stop those bear kids?" The bird asked Lu Cheng again.

"There's no need, they can go if they want... Can't we grab their arms and say, 'Let me feed you?'" ”

There is no shortage of manpower on Lucheng's side, and Lucheng is now equivalent to lying down to absorb energy, although the number is very small... There are countless ways to increase it.

"But I'm going to talk to Elena anyway." When Lu Cheng thought of this, he happened to see Elena returning from the outer city outside.
