It is not an exaggeration to describe the aftermath of Spartacus as a ruin.

Surprisingly, the most severely damaged was not the East Gate, where the fighting was fierce, but the Ryujin Square, where Lear and the thirty-headed sea dragons fought.

The ravaging sea dragons and the terrifying magical power destroyed a large number of houses and buildings, but fortunately that area belonged to the sacred land of Spartacus, except for the priests of the Blind Brotherhood and the nuns of the Sisters of Silence, there were not many people living there, and they happened to be at the gates of the city at the time of the battle, so there were not too many casualties.

But the central area was largely destroyed, with the exception of the statue of Asha, which was littered with ruins, and the craftsmen responsible for the reconstruction had been standing outside the ruins for a long time, and the non-combatants had taken refuge in their dwellings during the war, not knowing the devastating power.

At this time, they also couldn't understand what kind of power could cause such horrific damage, and it was not until the captain of the guard behind them urged loudly that the craftsmen began to clean up the wreckage of the houses on the ruins.

Except for Lear himself, all the cadres were ordered to retreat by him, and everyone had accumulated a lot of experience and understanding after this war, and they needed time to digest it, but the heavy post-war reconstruction work had to be presided over by someone, and Lear could only forcibly suppress the restless magic elements in his body and deal with those tedious things first.

Fortunately, there is also the help of Valenque and Sister Merlan before and after, Mr. Drag Oil Bottle to fight, and he is only a second-level magician now, but he is really a good hand at handling these administrative affairs, thanks to him, Lear has not been squeezed by those trivial chores.

Regarding the war reparations, Lear needs to wait until Adela is out of the customs, and this kind of foreign affairs is now basically handled by the female mage, and the affairs handled by her are better than Lear herself, and Lear can relinquish power at this point.

The emancipation of the slaves had been left to Peterley and Rinis, two great pirates who had been roaming the waters around Misty Isle with the Hades and several warships, ready to wait for the Fish-Folk to strike them a fatal blow from behind, but the appearance of the Sirens completely deprived them of the opportunity to participate in the war.

For this reason, Rinis has been haunted until now, and every time he sees Lear, he blows his beard and glares, but it is undeniable that their efficiency is indeed very high, and by contacting some old forces and acquaintances in the sea in the past, the islands in the waters around Misty Island are soon filled with dragon flags.

There was no need to conquer at all, and when the forces of the Fish-People withdrew from the sea, as soon as the fleet led by the Hades approached the shores of those islands, the leaders of the indigenous or half-blood tribes would run out shouting to show their submission, and those who were a little more powerful also expressed their willingness to ally with Spartacus.

Originally, Lear meant that the alliance trade would be fine, and at most the islands would provide him with troops in the form of mercenary services, but since these weak races chose to accept protection under his wing, then he had nothing to do.

Under the lure of Peterley and Rinis, the dozens of islands in the surrounding seas provided Spartacus with a large number of craftsmen, except for those who participated in the reconstruction of the city, and the rest were concentrated by the old Kirk to repair the dockyard and expand the port.

And because of the high allowance offered by Spartacus, more shipwrights and workers poured in, and even attracted human maritime merchants in Erry, and Spartacus was overcrowded for a while.

As a last resort, Valenque had no choice but to carve out a temporary settlement in the east of the city, but in only two or three months, the temporary settlement had grown into a small market town, and he had to transfer a few men and send a team of guards to temporarily act as the sheriff and mayor there.

After nearly two years, Spartacus finally had a tax income for the first time.

The sprawling monastery was built around the Ryujin Square, divided by a central cross street, with the Brotherhood of the Blind on the left and the Sisters of Silence on the right.

At this time, there are pious priests or nuns to answer their questions, and because of this, both churches have gained a large number of shallow believers in a short period of time.

Lear issued a decree that no one could become a citizen of Spartacus if he wished, regardless of time or place, and he was not worried about whether there would be any enemies among them.

Not to mention that ordinary people can't access the core secrets of the statue of Asha, Spartacus, who is condensed in the hearts of the people, as long as he shows a little dissent, I am afraid that he will soon fall into the vast sea of people's war.

After repairing the dockyard that had been damaged during the war, Kirk Sr. proposed a grand plan to Lear, because of the huge number of craftsmen in surplus, he planned to build five Hades-class warships at the same time, and if Lear could entrust the priest of the Blind Brotherhood with magical support and sufficient materials, then within a year Spartacus would have a terrifying fleet enough to sweep the seas.

Lear ordered him to do it with all his might.

Half a month later, Adela was the first to go out.

"Level eight. Lear smiled and looked at the white-robed female mage in front of him, once upon a time, the eighth level magician was as distant as the stars in the sky to them, and the defeat and humiliation they endured because of their weakness seemed to be vivid, but now, everything has become a thing of the past.

They have finally come to the point where they can control their own destiny.

He could clearly feel the strong water elemental fluctuations on Adela's body, in addition, there was also a thick earth elemental aura, and what was even more different from the past was that after Adela came out of the customs this time, the confident light in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Advanced water magic?" he asked, smiling, handing a peeled orange to Adela.

"Hmm. Adela took the orange from Lear's hand and said lightly, not feeling complacent about it.

Even her comprehension of earth-based magic was on the verge of breaking through, but she also knew deep down that she still had a long way to go compared to the person in front of her, although Lear was only level eight now.

"When am I leaving?" After the war with the Fish-People, even if Lear didn't say anything, Adela knew what he was going to do next, When there were no more enemies on this sea, and they had accumulated enough strength to fight for hegemony, on the continent of Antaglisi, there were still Lear's enemies of life and death.

Travel to Fish-Man Island, bring war reparations back, and then build the city armed army with those resources, it's time to go home.

But it won't be an easy journey, and while the promise of the sirens won't be as life-threatening as last time, it may be a difficult negotiation to reach an agreement with the Fish-People on the amount of compensation, so the sooner you go, the better.

"Wait for Peterley to come back, and let him accompany you to Fish-Man Island, this time you are alone, be careful. "Guina is still in retreat, so there won't be any attendants in Adela this time.

"yes, I see. Adela gently sipped the orange clove in her mouth, her soft red lips moving lightly, but in the end she said nothing.

"I'm going to see Tariq. As if feeling a little awkward for a moment, Lear stood up and walked out the door, patting Adela lightly on the shoulder as he passed by.

If there is anyone who is the most seriously injured in this war, it must be Tariq, his arm and his entire right shoulder were swallowed by the sea dragon, such an injury even Mo Lan has no choice but to stop the bleeding and expel the poison so that he can rest in peace.

But for the barbarians, the loss of the right hand that holds the weapon is almost the same as the loss of life, and even more painful, so after the war Tariq shut himself up in his room and drank heavily, and no one came.

And because of the complicated affairs after the war, Lear has not been able to find time to comfort him, and at this time, seeing the broken wine bottles in the courtyard, of course, the self-blame in his heart is inevitable.

"Tariq. ”

He called out the barbarian's name outside the door.
