Chapter 362: The City After the Great Flood
The flames kept burning, and the smell of barbecue began to waft through the air, mixed with the burnt paste of the fabric.
Ironically, the smell of rotten meat has become like barbecue, making people smell the root of the tongue water.
There were also whispers in the crowd...... No one spoke, and everyone watched in silence as the flames grew stronger and stronger, until all the corpses were lit with fireworks until they burned black.
The corpse oil that flowed from the ground lit up the mud and sand.
"Let's go, and when the road is cleared, a monument will be erected here, so that all those who enter the city may bow and salute in this place. It was a long time before Theron said slowly.
The setting sun shone on everyone's face, and it was all black.
"Yes, Lord Castle. A general beside him said.
He turned his head to look at Lias.
"I'm sorry, General Lias. Keeping you waiting...... We ......" his voice was a little choked and seemed to be difficult to speak.
Wang Chu looked at each other, it looked like a true outpouring of feelings, after all, this is his city, and all the citizens are also his property, and he will be sad to see it like this. But a ruler like him may have long since lost his true feelings.
If you want to survive in the empire and the border countries, you have to guard the borders of the empire at the same time, and sometimes you can say anything.
It will also be true and it will be false.
It's been a long time, so I've forgotten it a long time ago.
Lias looked at the other party for a while and didn't know how to express it, Wang Chu saw that her rosy cherry lips opened slightly a few times, but she didn't say anything...... But Lucia next to her was busy talking.
"It's all gone, Lord of Theron, we're still alive, living for them. ”
"Right...... We're alive. He looked up at the two of them, and looked at himself with an interesting look out of the corner of his eye.
Although I have returned to the city, it is not early, and although the places around the city walls have been cleared, there may still be some in the city, and there are still many places that need to be cleaned.
Therefore, the team did not stay any longer, and comforted each other under the persuasion of the people around them and left this sad place.
The city was quiet, except for the place at the door, the deeper you went down the street, the less mud and sand on the ground, Wang Chu looked back at the place of the city wall.
Oh, probably because of the wall, the sediment brought by the river was blocked, and only the city gate came in.
Streets, shops or dark alleys on both sides.
The ground is mostly drowned rats and other animals, and this creature is the most abundant in that city, whether it is in Hajar City or Imperial Capital City...... However, the flood flooded and almost no animals survived.
Now that the water has receded, even the fish have not been spared.
"Andrea, you go and let the team disband and go home, maybe they all want to go back and see. By the way, in the evening, the troops still handed out food in the central square for everyone to remember. Theron said shortly after leading the team into the city.
"Yes, Lord Castle. The beautiful priest nodded and walked towards the rear.
A faint body fragrance passed by, and Wang Chu could smell it standing on Lias's shoulder.
Hmm? Why didn't I find out before?
Is it because I want to come back, it rains heavily every day when I am in the camp, and it smells damp for a few days after the rain stops, and I haven't noticed that the other party still smells of perfume.
"Two generals, come and live in my house today. Theron said suddenly.
Normally, if the people from the military department do not arrive in a city, they will be received by the local military department, which is also to avoid some unnecessary trouble, but this city is in a special period, and Lias does not pay attention to these and is busy nodding.
"Well, then I'm going to disturb the city lord for a few days. ”
"General Lias is polite, most of the reason why this city has been able to regain its life in such a short period of time is because of the general. "Theron is also not greedy, and tries to make Lias stand out in every way.
The city lords of all parts of the Asta Empire can have a certain degree of autonomy, as long as the status of the general of the Lias Empire is not good, it is not a bad thing to make friends with some local overlords.
Wang Chu watched as the team behind him gradually dispersed, returning to his home from the streets of various places.
The architectural style of the city is not quite the same as that of many cities in the Asta Empire, from Hajar City in the west all the way to the city, including the imperial capital, most of the buildings are mainly circular, while here they are mainly regular squares, which makes Wang Chu feel more cordial.
After all, such a thought has dominated itself for decades, and the two years that I have seen in this world alone will not be able to lose it for a while.
The city is also very large, it is estimated that it is about the same as Hajar City, anyway, the largest city in a region represents the overall strength of the region, and no one wants to lag behind others, so the local cities are all about the same size.
"The architecture of the city is very special. "Lias has also discovered something special about Sunrise City.
"Oh, the general is talking about architecture, yes...... Because of the port, the city is most connected to the outside world in the eastern countries, and the buildings there are like this, so you will see two different styles of buildings inside. Theron explained as he walked.
Towns or cities that are facing the desert are built in a similar style to the desert, and this coexistence of cities is conducive to trade between the two sides.
"Although we have returned to the city, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to build the city, and tomorrow I will personally write a letter to ask the nearest city to deliver materials over, and normal business should be restored quickly. ”
"Hmm. Lias replied simply.
Wang Chu could hear this kind of reaction, which was usually the tone when she didn't know it very well.
Leading troops to fight and running the city were originally two routes, and it was no wonder she didn't know.
"But don't worry, General Lias, we will still take care of Commander Iron's affairs, this time the archbishop is coming, if the general wants to, the empire can take any part of the team of Sunchase City to the wilderness, even if it requires everyone. "Theron is much more generous this time than before.
The city is back, and half of his worries are solved, and the other half is the problem in the southern wilderness, and he also knows that as long as the things in the wilderness can't be solved, the city can't return to its normal trajectory, so from here, the two sides are the same.
All forces are not hidden, and they can be used as long as they are needed.
Lias probably didn't expect the other party to become so generous all of a sudden, but after thinking about it, she understood.
"This matter may have to wait until the archbishop arrives. "There are also some paladins who are accompanied by them, and the pressure on them as a combat force military department will be much less. 2k reading web
