Chapter 9: Ashes Turned into Fertile Fields
The army of 3,000 from Aegis City, led by Gallaher, came to the north of the port of Huomen, only fifty kilometers away from Anding City, and deliberately marched with great fanfare, blowing trombone along the way, for fear that others would not know. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The goddesses Tessis and Brian flew in the air, looking down on the earth, and beneath their feet was a gray fiefdom of clay pottery. Thick layers of ash covered hundreds of kilometers of the ground, leaving the surrounding area lifeless and not a single tree visible.
"Thank you very much, blessings to my parents. Brian said heartily.
"For me, it's just a gesture, you're welcome. The goddess said, "But I'm about to leave, and I want to go around other planes, I'm in charge of three thousand planes, and there are some things in other places." ”
"Before I go, can I ask you for one more thing, which is to get rid of this volcanic ash and restore the original appearance of the clay city. Brian said, "You see, the clay city is right at the junction of the two countries, the northeast is Anding City, and the northwest is the Duchy of Seneh, if I have a garrison here, can I help Cumberland and keep the border stable and balanced?"
"Sounds like a good idea, but it takes a lot of energy to remove such a large piece of ash. The goddess laughed.
"You can recover slowly after consumption, and now you are not in any danger, as a god, don't you do something good for your people?"
"So, where does all this ash go, spill into the sea?"
"No, no, no, it's all going to the south, near my new seaport, and I'm going to use them as materials to build seawalls and deep-water ports. Brian said.
"You're really calculating, Brian, just do what you say. The goddess of wisdom said, "I will take this volcanic ash away, and I will not say goodbye to you after I go to the port, my doppelganger is in your hands anyway, and talking to her is like seeing my body, although it is only one percent of my strength, it is equivalent to an eighth-level archmage or warrior." ”
"That's strong enough, too. Brian sighed.
"I'll leave this plane to you, Brian, find a way to be strong as soon as possible, handle things carefully, be wary of the Church of the Stars, which is about to go to extremes, and in two months, I will come again, and we will meet again then. After Tessis finished speaking, her body flashed, and when she reached an extremely high sky, she opened her arms and released a pale silver circle of light with a size of 100 meters, and the inside of the aperture produced a strong adsorption force, sucking up the volcanic ash on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, all the volcanic ash within a few kilometers disappeared, and the earth exposed reddish-brown soil.
"It's amazing, when can I be so bullish!" Brian sighed as he watched the aperture fade away.
In just half a day, all the volcanic ash on the ground was sucked away, and the clay city returned to its original appearance, with fields, roads and cities in front of you, although there was no vegetation yet, but the convoy sent by Adela had arrived as planned to re-inject green into the land.
The logistics chief of the Patriotic Army, Karadi, led a hundred transport trucks to the clay pottery city, and in addition to food, there were also a large number of saplings and rapeseeds. The dwarven engineers and the giants of the plains were leveling the road ahead, a wide new avenue that reconnected the clay city with the port of Homen, and four rows of small poplars were planted on both sides of the road.
"Let's work hard, keep up the speed, we will meet up with the army in Clay City in three days and bring them food. Karadi was cheering up in the car, but he was thinking more about how he could deliver supplies faster and in larger quantities, and although the Devil Lizard was fast and had a good load capacity, the long-distance supply army was still not satisfactory, if only there were a hundred pamps.
Both the scouts of Stable City and Kellogg had already detected the movements of the Mist King's army, and of course, their reactions were completely different.
Commander Gallaher, commanding the entire army to march at the fastest pace, fifty kilometers south of Anding City, and then plunged headlong into the former fiefdom of Clay City, where he temporarily camped and stood still, which really surprised Kellogg. At first, Kellogg even thought that this powerful army was coming directly at him and was preparing for an ambush, but who knew that the White Feather Guard Legion suddenly changed direction and entered a no-man's land.
"What is this going to do, to enter the volcanic area, isn't it not even to drink water, to die of thirst?" Kellogg was puzzled.
"Report to the General, I don't know why, the ashes of the volcanic ash no man's land have all disappeared today, and the fiefdom of the clay pottery city has been restored to its original appearance, although there is no water source yet, but a logistics force of the Misty Kingdom has rushed to the outskirts of the city, and is digging a well and digging groundwater there, presumably it will solve the problem soon. The scout told Kellogg about his observations.
"Clay City is back to its original appearance!" Kellogg was taken aback, "So Gallah knew in advance and deliberately rushed over to scare us, in fact, he wanted to occupy Clay City as soon as possible?"
Kellogg fell into deep thought, the clay city is more than two hundred kilometers away from Anding City, not far and not close, and he can rush to the aid in more than a day, this distance is really cunning, if he fights with Anding City, when Gallach arrives, it is just when Anding City is broken, and Seneh's army is greatly damaged, he can take advantage of it. This battle can't be done easily, and it will be the way of the Misty Kingdom, and the people of this country, from the king to the small soldiers, like to fish in troubled waters.
The minds in the city were quite happy that the Misty Kingdom had already accepted their refugees and sent a large number of troops in time to form a confrontation between the three armies on their flanks, which was the result they most hoped for.
Moses said: "If there is a stalemate, Kellogg is the most passive side, he has no place to garrison for a long time, no matter where he stays in that noble fiefdom, the nobles can't afford to entertain, there is not enough supplies, he must be the first to retreat." ”
"But before he retreats, he will inevitably have a round of negotiations with us, to give those nobles a place to vent, and to make us bear the consequences. Cumberland analyzed.
"How are you going to bear the consequences, Bishop?" asked City Lord Valentine.
"I'm alone, I'm going to Sacred Heart City, and I'm at their disposal. "Cumberland Drive.
"Nonsense! You are our spiritual pillar, this matter must not be done in this way, promise to pay compensation, and use money to solve it. Moses said, "Even if they open their mouths, we promise to come down, we can't afford to pay, let the church figure it out, they still don't care about giving some money." ”
"Just do what the teacher said, in fact, I really want to go to the Clay City now to see, what is the power that makes the ashes become fertile fields?" Cumberland said.
"I'm afraid, what you want to see is not a city, but a person. Moses laughed.
