1378. Night
The current situation in Epson City is very special, although the streets and alleys of Epson City are crowded with refugees fleeing from the other four counties, but at least half of the houses in the city's aristocratic neighborhoods are currently empty.
There were so many people in the city at once, but the real garrison was pitiful.
Surdak and his party passed through most of the aristocratic neighborhoods, and they only encountered a knight from the guard battalion, which was very rare even in the city of Highlandza, which was in a safe and secure situation.
The aristocratic neighborhood is usually the neighborhood that the guard battalion focuses on, and now there are a large number of refugees in Epson City, and if the patrol route is arranged according to normal thinking, the noble neighborhood will also be the top priority, but now Surdak walks on the street, and there is no guard battalion knight at all.
If you think about it, it can only be a situation, and the garrison in the city is extremely weak.
In other words, most of the soldiers in Epson City are probably on the front lines......
Seeing the current situation of the Warsaw plane, the lords of the province of Ewalsen may not continue to send more troops in order to avoid greater losses, or even withdraw their lord army from the battlefield, but those knights who have lived in the Warsaw plane for several generations and have really made their home here have no way to retreat, and if the frontline troops are in short supply, they will also replenish the battlefield without hesitation.
For them, this battle is not a plane war, but a battle to defend their homeland, and once the war is lost, it is likely that their home will be gone.
In many cases, Surdak has a deeper understanding of the battlefield than others, because he is the one who really crawls out of the pile of dead people, understands the cruelty of the battlefield better, and knows very well what the weaknesses of the demon warriors are.
Surdak didn't expect that the current situation in Warsaw would actually erode like this, nor did he expect that the lord army of Ivorson Province had begun to rout on all fronts, and even the last two counties could not be garrisoned, and Duke Newman was still looking for a chance to turn the tables back.
…… For him to resolutely give up so much fat on the White Forest Plane, and then turn to the Warsaw Plane battlefield thousands of miles away, and he was reluctant to quit after eight years of hard support here, Surdak couldn't guess what could attract him so much here.
When Surdak arrived at the gate of House 57, he saw that the gate of the house was completely open, and some of the refugees actually stood in front of the gate with a cower and peeked inside, while others carried their luggage into the courtyard.
And the front courtyard of the house is actually full of tents at this moment, it is so late, and Signa and Nika are not sleeping, these borrowers are not really poor, so there is no need to put up a porridge pot or anything, and to solve their food and clothing, these refugees just can't find a place to live in this city for the time being.
The two-headed ogre Gullitham sat on the steps of the main house, looking behind him at a statue of a knight, and now Gullitham was sleeping soundly, while his good brother Brainflower's eyes widened like bells, observing the situation in the front yard.
See Surdak and Samira, Garry. When the three Deckers returned to the house, Signa ran up first, and while Surdak had led the horses to the stable, she told him what was going on, and in a word, she and Nika took pity on the children sleeping in the streets, and persuaded Selena, who was soft-hearted, to allow them to set up tents in the yard.
Surdak led the horses to the stables, and a cavalryman led Surdak, Samira, and Jiali. Decker's horse took it.
"We'll leave Epson City the next morning, what are you going to do with these people, get them out, or let them stay in this courtyard?" Surdak turned to look at Signa who was following her, and reached out and touched her head.
Signa blinked her big black grape-like eyes, tilted her head and said to Surdak:
"If no one drives them out, then it's better to stay."
Surdak took Signa's weak shoulders around him, beckoned Nika behind him to follow, and then walked towards the main house, saying as he went:
"But if no one takes care of this place, they may turn the whole yard into a garbage dump, and they may empty all the valuable things in the house, I don't question that all of them are thieves, but there will inevitably be some misconduct when there are too many people, I can't leave guards here, what are you going to do?" How do I maintain my property? ”
When Signa heard Surdak say this, she was embarrassed, she hadn't thought so much about these people when she invited them in.
Nika followed, also dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer Surdak's question.
The two of them obviously wanted to help those people on the street as much as they could, but in fact, this was harming Surdak's interests.
That's when Selena came out of the shadows, wearing a black robe with a hood on her head, almost able to blend herself into the darkness perfectly.
She said to Surdak:
"They are not refugees themselves, they are just temporarily stranded in Epson City, and many of these people are even nobles, belonging to the kind of down-and-out aristocracy, but I believe that they can keep the hygiene of this place, and no one will move the furniture in the house, in fact, everything that can be removed in this house has been moved, and the remaining items are not worth moving."
Surdak stretched out his other hand and wrapped his arms around Selena's soft waist, and the group entered the house through the side door.
"So your next step is to develop these people to become followers of the Goddess of the Night?" Surdak asked Selena in a low voice.
Selena glanced at Surdak deeply, her eyes gentle, and she met his gaze and said, "Plant at least a seed in their hearts......"
Surdak pinched Selena's cheek and said casually, "This oracle is really dutiful, I hope the goddess of the night can feel your piety." ”
Selena twisted her face away, took Signa's little hand, beckoned to Nika again, and said, "Of course she can feel it, in fact, she knows more than you think, Signa, Nika, you sleep with me tonight, and your master bedroom is at the end of the corridor on the second floor." ”
With that, he walked to the bedroom on the first floor without looking back, leaving only Surdak, Samira, and Jiali. The three of Decker were in the hall on the first floor.
Jiali. Decker immediately looked at Samira vigilantly, and the next second immediately said, "That...... I'm really a little tired today, so I'll go and rest first. ”
After speaking, he took three steps and two steps up the stairs with his long legs, and his figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, leaving only Surdak and Samira in the hall on the first floor.
