Chapter 20: Heavy Casualties

Ping An looked at Wu Zixuan's distant back, and was a little stunned for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Boy, what's the matter?" Ping Lei laughed when he saw Ping'an's appearance at the moment.

"No... No, I just think this girl is a little different from other girls. ā€

"People are Her Royal Highness the Princess, you really treat people as ordinary people!"

"Isn't Her Royal Highness a girl different?

"Yes, yes, but you still don't have too many thoughts about Her Royal Highness the Princess, if she is an ordinary girl, I would agree with you to pursue it!"

"What's wrong with Her Royal Highness Princess? As long as I want to soak, there is nothing I can't soak!"

Originally, it was just a simple appreciation, but he was ridiculed by his father so much, and he was suddenly dissatisfied, what did he need for the task when he carried out the infiltration mission in his previous life, and the woman who had not hooked up?

"What do you mean by 'bubble'?" Pinglei thought about it for a long time and didn't understand.

"That's what it means to win!" Ping An only then did he sound that there seemed to be no such avant-garde words in the world, so he changed to a more domineering expression.

"Take it, this breath is really not small, you can blow it!" Ping Lei was immediately amused when he saw Ping'an's face of death, as if he was going to go to battle.

"Don't believe it!"

"Ahem... Cough... Water..."Feng You woke up again and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Ping'an, go and find some water for your Uncle Feng You, and by the way, call Master Kane, and the surviving villagers will all gather together and bring them over!" Ping Lei saw that Feng You woke up and stopped teasing, and hurriedly ordered.

"Okay, I'll go!"

After saying that, he pulled his legs safely, and there was no one.

......

In the evening, it was already dark, and the city of Kolos, which should have been noisy at this time, was now a little quiet. Ping'an carried a deceased who was last found in the city to gather in front of the city lord's mansion.

"Have you finished looking for the dead people in the city?" Wu Zixuan felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw so many corpses for the first time, and asked Zhao Wu, who was standing aside.

"Almost, Your Highness Princess! My sergeants are all dead, and now they are all relying on voluntary citizens to search for corpses, but there are not many of them, and the progress is very slow. Fortunately, there is the boy Ping'an, and he alone has found more than 300 people in two hours, otherwise it would be difficult to find it today. If you are a little uncomfortable when you see so many corpses, just avoid it, you don't have to see these at all!" Zhao Wu saw that Wu Zixuan's face was a little ugly, so he persuaded.

"Don't! The insect is so hateful, I only saw it in the book before, but now I saw it with my own eyes and realized that the truth is far more cruel than what is written in the book!" Wu Zixuan endured the discomfort in her heart, and now she came out to travel to increase her knowledge, so she naturally did not want to avoid it, and at the same time hated the insect even more.

"This is the last one, I didn't find it with me!" said a peaceful voice as the two spoke.

Ping'an carried a corpse back to the front of the house again, and stacked the last corpse.

"It's really hard for you!" Zhao Wu said comfortingly when he saw that Ping'an was dyed red by the blood of the deceased at this moment, as if he had jumped into a pool of blood and taken a bath.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, uh... No, Miss Zixuan, why are you here? Ping An wiped a handful of blood on his face, and was surprised when he found that Wu Zixuan was also standing here at the moment.

"Why can't I stand here? The dead here are all citizens of the Empire, and of course I should stand here and pray for them!"

"You're a girl after all, it's not good to see too much of this!" Seeing that Wu Zixuan's face was not very good, Ping An couldn't bear to persuade her.

"Aren't you a kid too? You're all right like this, what can I do?"

"Yes, yes, yes! When I didn't say it!" Ping An thought that he was also a child now, and he really didn't have the power to persuade so he had to give up.

"Lord of the City, it's been counted here!" At this time, the voice of Master Yuan Zheng came from not far away.

"Well, what is the number of people you have calculated over there?" Zhao Wu hurriedly asked the Yuan Zheng Scholar who rushed over when he heard this.

"One thousand two hundred and fifty-eight people, of whom six hundred can find the whole corpse, the rest are either missing arms or legs, and perhaps some have been eaten by ants and insects. ā€

"Ping'an, how many people have you found here?" Zhao Wu asked again.

"Including the last one of the three hundred and twenty-nine people that I just found, of which seventy-two people were killed in the battle in our village of Belka, and only more than one hundred and fifty people are still corpses. ā€

Ping'an mainly searched for the villagers of his own village, and by the way, found other dead people who died in the vicinity.

"In this way, nearly 1,600 people were killed in the city, of which 100 were troops sent by me, plus the 2,900 garrison troops guarding the city walls, nearly 400 temporarily recruited mercenaries, and the 100-man Templar squad that was besieged outside the city, making a total of 5,000 people. Fortunately, His Holiness arrived in time, otherwise the nearly 50,000 inhabitants of the city would not have survived. After summarizing the statistics, Zhao Wu couldn't help but sigh.

"Not only that, only our Belka village in the nearby villages took refuge in the city in time, maybe the other villages will not have time to escape, and there will definitely be more dead. At this time, Ping An added.

There are no less than 500 villages in Qiushui County, and there are as few as 100 people in a village, and as many as hundreds of people. If you continue to count like this, I am afraid that the number of people who died tragically outside the city will be even more, and it should be no less than tens of thousands!" said with emotion after reminding Zhao Wu of Ping'an's remind.

"Woo... Woo..."

Wu Zixuan, who was on the side, heard that so many people had died together, and she couldn't bear to cry for a while.

"My good granddaughter, who bullied you, made you cry so sadly!" At this time, Wu Yuan's majestic voice came from the sky, and then in the blink of an eye, he saw a huge griffin landing in front of the City Lord's Mansion with Wu Yuan.

"Grandpa, it's a strange insect! you must kill all the strange insects to avenge the people!"

"Of course, it's just that my ability is limited and I can only try to kill as much as possible. As for killing them all, even the Holy See can't do it, and the old man naturally doesn't have that ability!" Wu Yuan knew that his great-granddaughter was careful to be kind and worried about the country and the people, and the scene she saw today must have stimulated her, and she could only be comforted.

"Your Excellency, has the wormhole been destroyed?" Seeing Wu Yuan coming back, Zhao Wu interjected.

"Well, it's not a big deal, but fortunately only ants and insects invaded, and I bombarded all the way through and finally destroyed the wormhole. It's just that there are still many ants and insects scattered and escaped, and many of them have hid in the depths of the mountains, and the range is too wide to chase and kill. When the Imperial Army arrives in the future, they will be able to sweep the entire territory of Qiushui County and clear the remnants of the ants. ā€

"By the way, how many people died together?" Wu Yuan asked back when he saw the corpses piled up in front of him.

Zhao Wu then told the truth about the statistics just now.

"Well, you've done a good job! As for the Holy See's side to ask questions, I'll ask someone to deal with it, so don't worry! And you go quickly, this bloody boy will find someone to wash it and take it to the city lord's mansion to meet me. Wu Yuan glanced at Ping'an, who was covered in blood on the side, and ordered by the way.

"Yes, Lord Fawang!" Zhao Wu didn't dare to delay after the order, and quickly pulled up Ping Lei, who looked confused, and left.
