Chapter 67: The Fish-Man Retreats
Without the slightest warning, the blood in the eyes of the fishmen outside the bay city suddenly faded, and then the fishmen were stunned for a long time, shouting and running towards the ocean.
The soldiers on the city wall were silent for a long time, and suddenly cheered loudly, but the mercenaries outside the city were quite stunned.
There are also mercenaries who did not miss this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and they took up weapons and chased after the fish-man's ass.
It seems that the courage is really not small, but the fishmen may be frightened by the situation outside Bay City, and there is no fishman to turn around and fight back!
At this time, outside the bay city, the corpses of countless fishmen were piled up around, and arrows were inserted into these corpses at all angles, and at a glance, it was like a jungle of arrows!
The appearance of the fish's death was very miserable, not only were they injured by bows and arrows, but most of their bodies were trampled into a flat paste by their own kind.
Without the danger of the fish-man siege, the soldiers suddenly found that the smell around them was so unpleasant, and some of the immature soldiers suddenly bent down and vomited, causing the other soldiers to also churn in their stomachs.
After a month, they shot more than 10,000 fishmen, because of the existence of a large number of fishmen before, these corpses could not be cleaned up or moved, so they have been left in the place where they were shot, at this time, the corpses have decomposed and become stinky, tens of thousands of corpses accumulated into the stench, not to mention the soldiers on the city wall, even the residents of the city can smell it, the smell is unpleasant, it can be called stinking.
Not only that, but if a good-eyed soldier looked closely from the city walls, he could even spot maggots covered in corpses!
Maggots crawl all over the corpse, or crawl into the fish-man along the wound, how disgusting and disgusting the scene is.
Alan also came to the city wall at this time because of the retreat of the fish-man, his eyes are very good, he can clearly see the existence of these maggots, and similarly, his sense of smell is also good, and he can't escape the fate of being entangled by the stench.
Added in pairs, even if the psychological quality is much stronger than that of the soldiers, I can't help but feel a little like vomiting.
"Send someone down to clean up the body, but in this case, they can't be disgusted and busy, and each person will be subsidized with a silver coin. ”
Leaving this sentence in front of Barry, Alan didn't dare to look at it more, and ran down the city wall with his nose covered.
Then he found that many of the residents of Bay City had run around the city walls, and it seemed that they couldn't wait to see what was going on outside the city, but they were stopped by the soldiers, and no one could go up.
In this regard, Alan did not have the idea of hindering, he immediately ordered the soldiers to let them go, but because of the state of the city wall at this time, only the leaders of the neighborhood committees were allowed to go up, not everyone.
In this regard, the team leaders naturally smiled, while the ordinary citizens were quite resentful, and at the same time, they once again felt the difference between the group leader and ordinary citizens.
Not only can you receive a special allowance every month, but there are also privileges right now!
Looking at the small group leader above his house happily running on the city wall, a little boy with a tiger head blinked his eyes and said, "I also want to be the team leader in the future!"
"Smack!"
The mother next to her widened her eyes when she heard this, and suddenly slapped him.
"Be a team leader, something that doesn't make a profit! If you want to be a bounty hunter like Cory Jr., the team leader can make a few bucks!"
The little boy pursed his mouth: "But they are so majestic!"
"Smack!"
Another slap was slapped, and the woman raised her eyebrows and said, "What is the majesty? Aren't the soldiers around you more majestic than them?"
"But I don't know them. ”
The child said aggrievedly.
Most of the children's ideas are strange, and what he said at this time made his mother a little incomprehensible, but it doesn't matter if you don't understand, a slap can solve all problems.
....
As the news of the retreat of the fish-man gradually spread throughout the city, countless cheers resounded in the bay continuously, not only the bay, but at this time, all the cities that still existed in the territory of the stars let out bursts of exciting cheers!
In Reef City, countless naga circled and held up their tails to return to the deep sea, and countless soldiers cheered.
In Samuel City, the terrifying scorpion with two wings and a barbed tail let out a howl and flew back into the wilderness, and countless soldiers cheered.
In the starry capital, the mountain giants who covered the sky roared angrily, bent their waists that were once as straight as mountains, and crawled, turning into mountains again and gradually static, and countless soldiers cheered.
But at the same time, many of the cities of the stars could no longer give that exhilarating cheer, the ruins replaced the former prosperous cities, and countless corpses were piled up in the ruins of the city, and their eyes were still full of emotion, and their lifeless eyes reflected the sky overhead, unwilling to resent, or nostalgic? Their eyes were blank and lonely, as if they were questioning why they were in such a situation.
The annual Stars Shine for a month ends on September 28, 137 years of the Star Calendar, when the cheers of the Star Empire resound, but in fact, their compatriots suffered heavy casualties.
After the end of the starry light, each city needs to send ravens like the starry capital to report the situation of the city after the disaster, if the ravens are not received, it means that the city no longer exists, and then the capital will assign people to clean up the mess.
But that's for later, and Baytown, where Allen is located, is basically unharmed, and there will be no people appointed by the capital to come here.
At this time, he had just sent Raven to report the situation, but not only the capital, but also Reef City.
For Allen, it doesn't matter if he doesn't report the capital, but the family must notify him as soon as possible, so as not to provoke a reprimand if he is too late.
Although he is a human being, the memories of Allen's previous life are not born after birth, but gradually awaken over time, during which he is no different from other children, and his mind is not very mature.
By the time he fully awakened, his awe for his father Taryn had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he couldn't change it for a while.
In this regard, Alan sighed: "It can only be said that single-parent families do affect the growth of children, look at my brother, alas..."
In fact, his brother is quite normal on the whole, but his hobbies are a bit unacceptable, actually...
Shaking his head, Alan put aside the thought and began to deal with the official business of Bay City.
The starry spark is over, and the city is now in full swing cleaning up the fish-man corpses, and there are many people who want to dig up the complete fish-man corpses to transport back to sell to Allen, but they are doomed to disappointment.
Alan had already chosen to stop the acquisition before, not because he disliked the corpses he picked up was irregular or smelly, but because he had almost consumed his gold coins.
Aside from the last contingency payment, he has become a pauper!
The bay was now very short of money, and the port area outside the western city wall, although largely preserved because of the little destructive power of the fish-men, was in urgent need of repair.
The shipyards left behind by the pirates around the port area were all owned by Allen at this time, but because of this, he had to pay to repair the shipyard that had been damaged by the arrival of the fishmen, which was also a lot of money.
There is also the repair of the city wall, the east wall is not counted, this time the fish-man invasion did not affect that side, the other three city walls have reached the verge of collapse, and must be repaired immediately.
There are other odds and balances, and there are a lot of gold coins needed to get them all down.
Looking at the few lines of tasks written in his notebook, Alan sighed, "I hope Ball will be on the road as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to do anything else." ”
"By the way, there is also the mercenary union, we have to think of a way to keep these mercenaries in Bay City for the time being, otherwise we will have trouble later. ”
