Chapter 109: Life and Death
Letifa did not hesitate: "Immediately evacuate the people of the whole city, and the Alibaba group will be broken." β
Ralbin objected: "It's too late. With less than two hours left, we can only evacuate some of the people, or evacuate the Ali Baba regiment unharmedβand that would have to be done with the Doge's Palace and the Hassani and Shiriya factions. β
Sahil said: "The question is, how do we inform the people of this news, once the news of the sandworm siege spreads, there will be chaos, and it will be a question of whether we can leave at that time." β
Letifa said angrily: "That means leaving the people alone?"
Ralbin said: "Looking at the location of the drill pipes, the sandworms will attack from the northwest of the city, and it should be safe to retreat to the southeast." The city has a relatively mature large-scale magic circle imaging technology, and since it can mark the Julia logo, it is not difficult to mark a few notices. Let the people go out of the city on their own to hide. β
"No, the city has nearly 200,000 inhabitants, and once we start to move, we can't control the situation at all, and we haven't stood on our heels, and it's hard to say what we're saying," Calafate said. Not to mention the more than 20,000 Julians who are imprisoned, they must think that we will trick them out of the city to kill them, and move even slower!"
Letifa was anxious: "What then? What then?"
Duck suddenly asked, "How many poor people are there in Dorihachi City?"
Everyone was stunned, why did they suddenly care about this?
Calafate hurriedly said: "It is estimated that it accounts for more than half of the number of people, and works as a helper for the Holy Mosque, carriage and horse shops, and shops." Most of the rest are small shopkeepers and craftsmen, a small number of herdsmen and farmers, and then there are the old men with a lot of money. β
"Camels will run to their deaths for a puddle of water, and it is better to lure people out of the city than to force them to flee with their swords. Duck said: "Inform immediately, Hassan is not dead, and his injuries are under control." In order to thank the people of Dorihachi City for their rescue, subsidies will be distributed to the former Alibaba Group camp in Wuhoude Village, 10 kilometers southeast of the city. β
Ralbinch said, "Subsidies? Give them money, but where do we get the money?"
Calafate said proudly: "What we have is money, the Sun Magic Energy Collector has not stopped working, and now the magic energy spar fragments have been piled up into a mountain, right?"
Ralbin was dumbfounded.
Duck coughed lightly and said, "So, everyone, notify me immediately." To celebrate, anyone under the age of fifteen and over fifty, both men and women, Arabis and Julias, can go to the camp, each holding a handful of Magic Hedron shards in each hand. β
Letifa immediately said, "What if we don't have enough magic crystals?"
"If it's not enough, write an IOU. As long as the Sun Magic Energy Collector is still functioning, this hole can be filled sooner or later," Duck smiled slightly, "Besides, there is still a question of whether it is enough to think about, as long as they get out of the city, it will be victory!"
"Isn't it only the old people and children who have fled?"
"Wrong, think about it, in order to ensure the rapid arrival of the elderly and children, the strong laborers of the family must be escorted with all their might. In this way, isn't it equivalent to walking all away?"
"What about the rich?"
Duck smiled: "A handful of magic energy spar fragments in each hand, based on a hand of my size, one handful, about eight thousand dinards, two handfuls of sixteen thousand." It can make the destitute home live comfortably for two years. But for the rich, it's just two days' worth of food, and they can't afford it - let them live and die with the city. β
Ralbin and Sahir clapped their hands and laughed.
In this way, the lives of most of the people in the city were saved.
Now, time is of the essence.
Letifa made a decision and divided the troops into three ways.
On the first route, the elite detachment of the Alibaba Regiment led by Calafate used air raids to destroy as many insect traps as possible near Dorihachi City and reduce the number of sandworms besieging the city.
On the second road, Sahil is responsible for adjusting the defense deployment of the Alibaba regiment and preparing to fight a tough battle with the sandworms.
On the third route, Letifa intervened and approached the Lasani and Shriyya factions in Dorihachi to immediately stop the persecution of the Julia and try to reintegrate them into the city's defenses.
Eventually, Isabella and the newly surrendered Assasin faction stayed behind to produce the powder that the Menzaro people used to repel sandworms and stabilize the situation.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food. That's true.
Within a quarter of an hour of the announcement, people were already moving towards the city gates. The soldiers guarding the gate were all soldiers of the Ali Baba Regiment and were immediately released.
Half an hour later, the streets were full of people, carrying dry food, water and clothes, and flocking to the city gates. Then, with a dream, he left the place of death and embarked on the road to survival.
The Alibaba group and the Assasin faction did their best to maintain order. For those young children who have lost their fathers and the elderly who have lost their children, the Alibaba League directly dispatched Ifrit chariots and heavy flying carpets to assist in the evacuation.
The whole city is shrouded in excitement and tension.
Countless well-intentioned people are running around to inquire and want to know the inside story. However, the Alibaba group's secrecy work was very good, and they had to suffer in anxiety.
An hour and a half had passed, and the streets were becoming less crowded.
"Report, seismic wave activity has been detected at the observation point twenty kilometers northwest of the city!"
Darker is very calm, it's time to come, it's finally here!
"How long do you have to get here?"
"About forty minutes. β
"It was slower than I thought it would be, and it seemed that the strikers were playing pretty well. So," he slammed a piece of paper on the table, "Master Malim!"
The leader of Assasin bowed: "The subordinates are here." β
"I can't let go of any of the people on this, and within twenty minutes, I'll arrest them all!"
When Malim saw that the list actually contained the names of the Governor of Dorihachi City and the leaders of the two factions of Lasani and Shiliyah, as well as the names of twenty or thirty officials of the key departments, he was immediately startled: "Lord Hassan, you areβ"
"The war between humans and xenomorphs is about to start, and in order to commemorate this great moment, I want to sacrifice the flag with the heads of these scheming and ill-intentioned bastards!"
It was really easy to arrest people, these guys were gathering in the governor's palace to discuss why Hassan sent all the poor ghosts, and when they heard that Hassan and Najmuddin Daberka had been invited, they did not suspect it, and they came to the barracks one after another.
As soon as the car entered the door, the prepared guards immediately greeted them warmly, welcomed the adults and men in the car down, and then escorted them down one by one like lost dogs. The most severe punishment awaits these scoundrels who exploit the people and stir up contradictions between the people for their own selfish interests.
What we Assasin have not been able to do for nearly a thousand years, Hassan has cleaned it up in less than forty minutes. β
Watching the leader of the Shiriyas, al-Buha'i, be pushed to the ground, Malim sighed.
"Saving the lives of the whole city, getting rid of the source of chaos in Alaba, as long as you win the war against the xenomorphs, Hassan, your prestige and strength will no longer be unmatched, and it is only one step away from marching into Paghdad and establishing the secular country of your dreams!"
