Chapter 318: The Situation in the South

It's similar to what you would have felt when you arrived at the sea. Shushu.com is the fastest updated

The refugees are the fishermen at sea, and the mountains are the reefs.

It is even more serious than before, which has already submerged an entire area...... The soldiers behind him also followed curiously, perhaps they had never seen such a phenomenon.

For a moment, the whole team often became unusually quiet.

Most of the people in the team lived in the imperial capital, that is, northerners, while Lias was from the west, and both regions were high mountains or arid areas, and had never seen such a severe flood.

Perhaps a lot of the news that the empire received was also untrue, and it wasn't until she saw it with her own eyes that Lias felt that the situation was far more serious than she thought, and it was much more serious.

"Let's go down and have a look. Lias said, seeing a group of refugees below rowing over.

There is a big road down the edge of the cliff mountain, maybe this is the road that ordinary people walk, but there is always the possibility of landslides on heavy rainy days.

The whole troop of nearly 10,000 people marched forward, and no matter where they walked on, it was noticeable, and a dozen refugees who had just landed on the shore quickly noticed this side.

They saluted Lias from afar.

After walking in a little, Wang Chu saw their appearance clearly, the greasy dirt on their faces, even if it rained, could not be completely washed away, and the hair was scattered behind him and had already twisted into a strip, which made people want to pull it away.

The clothes are also dirty, mainly gray and black, maybe not this color before.

There are men and women, as well as many elderly people and children, almost all dressed in the same way, and most of their hair is mainly brown and gray-black, which is probably the unique hair color of people in this area.

After seeing Lias's army coming down from the cliff mountain, more than a dozen people didn't dare to move again, and watched the team slowly come over.

"Lucia brought some food. Lias said to the people around her.

The food provided by the Erica family before arriving in the south was very useful, and it was not as good as giving food directly to these refugees.

A large piece of burnt dried lamb is thrown in front of you.

A few children couldn't help but go up and take a look.

"It's meat!" exclaimed happily.

Wang Chu's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at all of them.

"Thank you, thank you, General. A middle-aged man stood up and bowed to the team in thanks.

With a dark and thin face and muscles on his arms, he could see that he was supposed to be a strong man, but he looked weak after being hungry for too long.

"Where is the Emperor ** team in the south? And the city here, where did you come from? Lias asked, riding her horse.

"We were all residents of Sunrise City, General. But the heavy rains over the past month have caused banks to burst in all rivers, and floods have engulfed our city, you see the ......," he said, pointing to a place opposite.

It's all big water, and I can't really recognize where he is referring to.

"It used to be a village, but now it's gone, and there used to be a sentinel tower on the hill over there, but now it's almost gone. ”

Wang Chu looked at the place where the other party said, and there was indeed a little bit of roof left.

"My gods, nothing like this has ever happened, most of the inhabitants of Sunrise City were killed, and only some escaped by boat. A man began to cry as he spoke.

Lias frowned, seeing that he was so hungry that it would take him many days to escape.

The girls glanced at each other, and they probably thought the same thing in their hearts.

"And what about the military headquarters of the Sun-Chasing City, the Wizards' Guild and the Cathedral, where did they go? Lias asked.

The city of the sun is the southernmost big city of the Asta Empire, the status is equivalent to the city of Hajar in the west, it used to belong to another small principality, and after being conquered by the imperial capital, it became a city in the south, that is, the extra small part on the map, so the name also has the characteristics of the eastern country.

"No one can stop such a serious flood, at the beginning, the mentors of the Magicians Association also used magic to forcibly block the flood at the edge of the mountain, thinking that it would recede when the rain was small, and the terrain in the south was very low, and the city was surrounded by rivers on all sides, and there were often times when there was a big flood, and it passed like this every time, but this time it was different, the flood still did not recede and became bigger and bigger, until the Magicians Association had no way to intercept it, and a large amount of water was hoarded and washed down, and the whole city ...... The entire city was flooded in an instant. The man said with a mournful cry.

Typical play is out of control.

No wonder I didn't hear the news from the south in the imperial capital before, and I wanted to survive for a while in this old-fashioned way at the beginning, but who knew that I couldn't hold it in the end, and as soon as the flood came, it was an instantaneous process, and the whole city was gone.

Saying this, the man seemed to remember something.

"Oh, yes. Checkmate...... You must have come from the north. "Aboriginal people can distinguish people from different regions by their accents.

"The military headquarters of Sunchase City used to have a fortress on high ground, and it seems that a group of troops came from the north to move most of the camp to higher ground when the Magicians Guild held back the flood. The man recalled.

It was probably Henry's party from a month ago.

"So where are they? Lias asked hurriedly.

"We went all the way here, and there was no water in the higher part of the front, and there was also a watchtower high and low, and the military headquarters had set up bases in many places, and we were going to go there for a while, but we heard that there were a lot of refugees who had escaped, so we were going to go to the nearest city of Surma to join a relative. ”

Sulma City is the closest city I came across, about a day's journey away.

At this time, several children had already cut the mutton jerky into small pieces with knives and divided them into everyone's hands, there were more elderly people and children, these were salted and roasted, even if they were damp for a short time, they could be eaten, which was the most practical ration given by Erica's family.

Lias looked at Lucia walking beside her, and the two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Your boat is left for us, and there is still a little food here, so take it and go. ”

More than a dozen refugees stepped forward with a thousand thanks, and in front of the army, their ordinary civilians did not dare to take anything, and they really felt that they would be hungry on the road, so they took a piece of jerky and hugged it under their clothes, and it was raining, and their clothes were all soaked.

"General, you should also be careful, if the heavy rain continues like this, it may rise heavily. Before leaving, a few old people kindly reminded.

There are only five small boats, and there is no way to send so many soldiers over, so they can only send people to report the news first, and then let the people from the military department line up more boats to come over.
