3-001 Explorers and Monuments
The sun rose the next day, but the city was already unrecognizable.
First of all, in this multiple disasters of beast tide plus tsunami plus sea beast king plus earthquake and red locust, the death toll was as high as 3,648, and nearly 10,000 people were injured to varying degrees. But compared to the previous animal tide, the number of casualties has been reduced to one-sixth of the original. Half of the casualties were among the civilians who supported the fighting, who did not want to hide in dark cellars to defend their homes and loved ones, and did not hesitate to step forward and sacrifice their lives to deliver supplies to the soldiers fighting on the front lines.
Most of the shieldfighters trained by the World Tree survived, especially Hanks and Aisha who were particularly active. The two of them parted with one-fifth of the large beasts, and played a major role in ensuring the victory of the beast tide. And most of the shield warriors who unfortunately died in battle were people who only received one or two days of training from the World Tree and then gave up.
In addition, more than 300 buildings were damaged in the catastrophe, most of which were not reinforced by Achea. However, those "tofu scum projects" have experienced the impact and earthquake of the beast tide, especially the excitedly renovated buildings in the center of the square, which are standing tall in the earthquake.
The docks also suffered heavy losses. The tsunami and the Sea Beastmaster destroyed the docks. Almost all the trestles were washed away by the tsunami, and except for a few ships such as Toronto and Fantasy, the rest of the ships were smashed by the waves. Even shipyards are not immune to their fate. In a short period of time, the route from the New World to the Northern Continent was severely affected, and there were almost no ships available.
The current Acting Lord has hardly managed anything, and he has come to the New World purely for the purpose of gilding, and in the future he can return home to arrange a better position.
The damage statistics were sent to the Pioneer Guild headquarters the next day.
The meeting room was chaired, and the trio of the captain of the guard, Chirnith, and the siblings of Achea were present. Of course, there are also the maid Taimoni who serves tea and water and the Siamese cat Little Blacktail who pretends to be stupid and cute. No, it was lying on the soft couch next to it licking its front paws.
The losses were staggering, at least a million gold coins. But the harvest is not small.
The World Tree alone can add a protective barrier to the city, not to mention that it has important economic value. Acheia suggested that the original square be transformed into an arena. Because even if the World Tree is in an independent space, its life breath can be spread through the spatial barrier. Those who fight in the arena can survive as long as they don't kill them with a single hit. The proposal was quickly adopted. It can not only train in actual combat, but also bring entertainment, and at the same time increase income.
According to incomplete statistics, there are tens of thousands of beasts slaughtered in the beast tide, and there are not a few of them with corpses and economic value. Especially after invading the city, the large beasts are even more valuable.
The shells of the Abyssal Worms are also one of the harvests, and the shells of these bugs are very hard. Through the magic pattern, it can be converted into some insect skin to make high-grade leather armor, and its performance is much higher than that of ordinary leather products.
In addition, the eight lighthouses in the harbor have also been renovated, and the light source can be adjusted at any time to change different guardian arrays. It adds another layer of protection to the port. Acea had already told the president about the effects of the magic circle formed by the transformation of several lighthouses, and the president assigned special personnel to take care of, maintain, and adjust the lighthouses around the clock.
The materials that Chiernis brought from the Northern Continent also needed to be turned into finished products as soon as possible, especially the hundreds of tons of white wood he had brought with him, which could be made into dozens of flying tools. In the future exploration of the New World, the little witch plays a more important aerial warning mission than the Eagle Knight. Secondly, it is not just the little witches, their overall numbers will not change significantly until they find a material that can replace Shiroki. It can be said that not only the material is a crucial factor, but more importantly, it is the right people to be a little witch.
Another new class, the Early Warning Engineer, has also been added to the development agenda. The characteristic of this profession is that it can perceive and avoid the surrounding terrain, creatures, and other factors that are unfavorable to the expedition in advance. Although this profession has a certain conflict with the soothsayer, it has the characteristics of a long-lasting warning time and a wide range of people who can change jobs, which the soothsayer does not have.
The revival of cities and the development of new jobs are not something that can be done in a day. To commemorate the catastrophe and to comfort those who lost their lives in the Holocaust, it was decided to build a monument to the Edria Holocaust in the public cemetery to the north.
