Chapter 405: The rewards for warriors are not just trophies, but also applause and flowers
The bridge of the Iron Heart.
Papers littered next to the crooked chair that didn't have time to burn, and the console connected to the radar had smashed the screen, but the case was still intact and not too difficult to repair.
It can be seen that those people fled in a very bad way, and they were in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to completely destroy the things here.
And thanks to that.
The Iron Heart was able to fall into the hands of the Alliance almost entirely.
"A thousand-strong team has appeared on the north side of Dawn City, suspected to be a mercenary organization...... But they have been solved by Xiaoqi! ”
"You can rest assured, host!"
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window at the very front of the bridge, Chu Guang quietly listened to Xiao Qi's report on the situation in the north of the alliance, and a relieved smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Good job."
After the battle, the communication between the Ruigu City area and Dawning City has been restored, and the signal in the air is especially good, and he can finally talk directly with Xiaoqi like this for the first time in a long time, and he doesn't have to worry about disconnecting from the Internet all the time.
A long time ago, probably just after the end of the Northern Expedition, Chu Guang was on guard against the threat from the north.
Both the investigation into the source of the Chewy Bone Tribe's munitions and the contact with the emissaries of the "Flint" group have shown that the Legion has its own intelligence network in the Bugerra Free State and has unclear interests with the local area.
According to the confession of the surrendered officers under Dilllon, the 140,000-man captain Condra was in the Free State of Bugra.
Chu Guang could even assert that the Chewing Bone tribe that swept through the River Valley Province was one of the handicrafts of the intelligence network. The purpose was presumably to establish a vassal similar to the Falcon Kingdom in the province of the River Valley.
Obviously, the Legion did not die because of the failure of an expedition, including their military operations in Luoxia Province, which was a bit of a foreshadowing for the next expedition.
The Coalition's forces were pinned down on the Western Front by the Iron Heart, and he would be surprised if the Legion's intelligence network in the Bugerra Free State did nothing.
And after listening to Xiao Qi's report, the stone hanging in Chu Guang's heart finally fell to the ground.
The rainstorm outside the floor-to-ceiling windows has stopped.
Looking at the crumbling dusk and the earth that was about to fall into the night, Chu Guang's thoughts couldn't help but fly to a hundred kilometers away with the dusk, looking at the land illuminated by the glow.
Although he could only see a vague outline, he could feel the storm brewing there.
However, in any case, he had finished the battle at his doorstep, and the Iron Heart had been left in the River Valley Province forever, and the Legion could no longer covet the land beneath his feet for a short time.
With the help of Yun Song and his 26th Commando Team, the coalition of the Four Kingdoms should be able to withstand for a while.
And before the army left for Luoxia Province, he could also take a breath and stop for a moment to enjoy the rainbow after the rain and the sunny sky......
At this time, the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door interrupted Chu Guang's thoughts.
Lu Bei, who was wearing a five-style "light cavalry" exoskeleton, stood at the door, his right fist pressed against the cuirass crawling with bullet marks and cracks, and said in a respectful tone.
"My lord, I brought the person you wanted!"
When he made the report, the young man's eyes flashed not only with respect, but also with obvious adoration.
As Chu Guang's personal guard, the Guards Regiment also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the 1,000-man Air Marine Corps in previous battles.
The figure riding on the back of the Claw of Death, charging with a warhammer held high, was etched into his mind.
Although whether or not he stood on the front line did not affect the greatness of that adult, at that moment, the back of the majestic shore bathed in holy light seemed to be sublimated.
He was convinced that he was not alone in that feeling.
Retracting his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Guang turned to look at the door.
I saw that next to Lu Bei, there was a man with a pale face and a bulging nose.
Physically, he was a far cry from the tall Marine officers, more like a civilian or technical officer.
And that's exactly what happened.
According to the information provided by the Warfielders and the confessions of the captives, the man's name was Finnod, and he was the logistics chief of the Iron Heart, with the rank of commander of the army.
Although he did not bring soldiers, he had two more stars on his epaulettes than Vanus.
He happened to be at the station of the Aviation Marines when the previous fight began, but the camp was attacked by the Jungle Corps and was forced to retreat to the Fallen Leaf Camp a kilometer away.
Missed General McClen's escape pod, missed the last train to Corway, and finally collided with the armored formation of the Skeleton Corps.
It is not easy to surrender alive in a sense.
Seeing Chu Guang looking at him, Finod swallowed with difficulty, tried to squeeze a reluctant smile from his face, and took the initiative to speak.
"I ...... A ransom can be paid. ”
Hearing this, Chu Guang smiled faintly.
"5 million dinars."
Hearing this astronomical figure, Finnod's already pale face turned even paler, and his voice trembled as he tried to bargain.
"I, I'm just a thousand-legg...... Will five million be too much? ”
Chu Guang said casually.
"That's 6 million dinars."
Hearing the figure of six million, Finnod immediately shut up and stopped talking.
He had already guessed that the person in front of him had no intention of letting him go at all, and the amount of the ransom was completely casually reported.
6 million dinars......
This money is enough to arm three thousand-man teams!
Although the position of logistics chief did bring him some convenience in his position, even if he borrowed 10,000 guts, he would not dare to make such a profit.
Finod swallowed, a hint of fear writing in his eyes.
This guy didn't catch any other big fish, so he plans to sacrifice himself to the flag?
Thinking wildly, Finnod felt his legs and stomach go limp.
It's not that I'm afraid of death.
It's just that he is not yet mentally prepared to be loyal to the marshal......
Chu Guang glanced at this guy and asked with interest.
"You've become a logistics officer, and you can't get any money?"
Finod said bitterly.
"My lord, do you know what five million dinars are?"
"I don't know, I'm not interested, and your ransom is six million. If you can't get the money, you will work honestly and strive for leniency," Seeing that a glimmer of hope was rekindled on that face full of despair, Chu Guang smiled faintly, and then asked, "Will you drive an airship?" ”
Finnod nodded nervously.
"A little bit...... I kind of know how to make it move. ”
"That's enough," Chu Guang nodded, and continued, "I'm watching here, you come and drive, target Qingquan City." If it deviates, I don't need to say much about the consequences. ”
Hearing this, Finod's face instantly twisted into a bitter melon, and he trembled resignedly.
"Big, sir......"
"What's wrong?"
"The wing on the left side of the airship has been dismantled by you...... Now there's only tail power left," Finnod said with a bitter face, "Don't talk about driving to Qingquan City, now put away the anchor chain, there is a risk of drifting away......"
Oh yes.
The wings seem to be broken.
Chu Guang admitted that he was indeed a little overexcited, after all, it was difficult not to be excited after such a big guy was captured.
Just counting the loot will take a few days.
Chu Guang believes that it is not only himself, but he has defeated the first world-class boss of "Wasteland OL", and the players will definitely not be able to do it at this time.
When the loot is counted and the campaign settlement list is released, he will share the joy of victory with his cute little players.
Coughing lightly, Chu Guang looked at Finod with an embarrassed face and said.
"Well, of course I know I can't open it, just to see if you have any crooked brains...... I'm very happy with your performance. The ransom can be reduced by 100,000 dinars, which is now 5.9 million. ”
Finod smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Chu Guang straightened the look on his face and continued.
"Show me around here."
Finnod breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes."
……
After the Jungle Corps and the Burning Corps took control of the airship, they forced the remaining crew to descend the airship.
Now the Iron Heart is only a hundred meters from the ground.
With the exception of those who had a mission on their side, most of the players gathered under the Iron Heart and stood next to the anchor chain to take a commemorative photo.
After all, it is the first world-class boss of "Wasteland OL".
And it's the server's first 10,000-person campaign.
Don't you want to commemorate it!
Especially looking at the Alliance flag flying on the Iron Heart, I wonder if this airship may become the Alliance's new resurrection point.
Take a group photo now, and brag to the newcomers in the future - "Look, your novice village is still beaten by Lao Tzu!" ”
While the players were busy preparing the bragging materials after going offline for a while, Chu Guangzheng took over the various areas of the airship from the hands of the Jungle Corps with the Guards Corps.
The captive crew numbered probably more than 500 people.
Most of these crews are non-combatants, mainly technicians who correct firepower, operate radars, map routes, and operate and repair ships.
In order to figure out how the airship was piloted and how the logistics system worked, the help of these people was indispensable.
For the captives who were willing to cooperate, Chu Guang would not treat them harshly, handed them all over to the logistics department, and arranged for people to learn the piloting of airships with these people.
If you behave well, you can have your sentence commuted.
To be honest, with the current size of the Alliance, it is still difficult to fully digest a behemoth like the Iron Heart.
Although the Iron Heart is an air unit, its combat mode is more like a navy than the air force.
And what is helpless is that there are only two lakes in the territory of the alliance, and there is no such thing as a navy at all.
A range of personnel, including the captain of the ship, can only be temporarily promoted from the reserve officers under the army and air force systems.
Under the leadership of Finod, Chu Guang arrived at the ammunition depot of the Iron Heart.
A steel arch full twenty millimeters thick stretches across the hallway, requiring both a code and a key to enter.
"The password is 4731."
Entering the password, Finod took out the key and opened the door, and then returned the key in his hand to Chu Guang with a respectful face.
Chu Guang took the key and put it away casually, glanced towards the door, and was quickly surprised by the amazing scene.
I saw shells thicker than legs, stuffed with ammunition racks several meters high, folding mechanical arms standing next to the ammunition racks, and the base was fixed on the T-shaped track.
Chu Guang glanced at the warehouse stuffed with ammunition, and suddenly asked on a whim.
"Are all airship ammunition depots in the same location?"
Finod replied respectfully.
"Of course not, sir. Each nuclear-powered airship of the Legion is individually designed for the 'Shield Core', and each 'Shield Core' is preserved differently...... And, this is one of the top secrets of the corps. ”
"Even after I took up my post, I learned the specific location of the various cabins of the Iron Heart. And many junior officers, until they leave the airship at the end of their service, do not necessarily know where the specific location of the ammunition compartment and power compartment is. ”
The so-called shield core probably refers to the wreckage of the frigate in the era of the People's Union.
Chu Guang nodded, indicating understanding, and did not continue to ask this fruitless question, but instead cared about the remaining stocks of ammunition.
With the help of the former logistics officer of the Iron Heart, Chu Guang carried out a rough inventory.
The harvest was also quite gratifying.
There are a total of 50 rounds of 400mm rocket range extender bombs in the ammunition depot, with a single round weighing nearly 1.5 tons, which are divided into two types of warheads: cloudburst bombs and conventional bombs.
These "sub-nuclear weapons" that General McLaan had not yet had time to use are now all trophies of the Alliance.
Not only the ammunition for the main gun, but also nearly 10,000 100mm shells, as well as millions of rounds of bullets of various models and calibers, were stored in different compartments.
In battle, these munitions are delivered to various combat positions through robotic arms and fixed tracks, and depending on the type of munitions, some are manually reloaded, and some are automatically reloaded by machinery.
In addition, Chu Guang also found 500 500-kilogram medium-sized aerial bombs and 70 100-kilogram large aerial bombs in the ammunition depot!
This thing might be more powerful than that 400mm gun!
After all, a large part of the weight of the 400-mm rocket extended-range bomb is allocated to the propellant, and most of the weight of the 900-kilogram bomb is in the warhead!
Generally, the yield of a cloudburst bomb is more than 8 tons, and if you compare it horizontally, the yield of this thing can not be up to 20 tons.
According to Logistics Chief Finod, these bombs are mainly used against strong fixed fortifications and underground bunkers.
Looking at the array full of ammunition racks, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a faint fear in his heart.
Thanks to the airship, it was able to be towed.
If it were to fly in the face with its shield, I am afraid that few people on the surface would be alive except for the people in the shelter......
The captured trophies were not only the ammunition on the airship, but also the military supplies stored in the warehouse, including 500 tons of canned beef and nearly 1,700 tons of compressed biscuits, pickled vegetables and other materials, enough for a whole year of consumption by a force of 10,000 people.
Even in a small cold storage, Chu Guang found milk ice cream and ice cream kept in the freezer.
Looking at the desserts in the freezer, Chu Guang's eyes showed a hint of surprise and teased.
"You've had a pretty good day."
Finnod smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
Chu Guang looked at Lu Bei on the side and said with a smile.
"After a while, you call a few brothers to come over, bring down all the popsicles and ice cream here, and share them with the soldiers at dinner time."
"Look at the centurion special offering written on it, it should taste good, let everyone taste it and see what it tastes like."
In the end, he is a child, and he can't escape his greed.
As soon as he heard what he was eating, Lu Bei couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
However, he soon realized his gaffe and quickly stood up straight and gave a military salute.
"Yes! My lord! ”
Looking at Lu Bei with an excited face, Chu Guang smiled and didn't say anything.
Ice cream isn't a particularly rare thing in Dawning City, but it's the front line, and it's not easy to get a bite of ice.
It's the hottest time of summer, and a big war has just been experienced, and both the players and the natives are approaching the limit of their physical strength at this time.
At this time, you can have an ice cream to relieve the heat, not to mention how beautiful it is.
Although there is not as much ice cream here as there is canned beef, there are several freezers crammed into it, and it is no problem to divide one for each person.
Hearing Chu Guang's sentence of "divided", all the guards of the Guards Regiment were happy, and only Finod had a regretful expression.
No one knows better than him, as a logistics officer, how expensive these white ice creams are and how expensive they are.
If nothing else, the milk used to make these ice creams alone is not an ordinary bargain, but is produced in the high mountain pastures of the legion on the banks of the Sorat, and each barrel is worth tens of thousands of dinars, and ordinary civilians have no qualifications or channels to buy it.
Although the freezer was written on the centurion's offer, it was too far away from the core territory of the legion, and a long time ago it was only supplied to officers above the commander commander.
I actually took it and distributed it to my subordinates, it was a terrible thing!
Finod didn't say anything, though.
After all, what to do with the spoils of war is the power of the man in front of him, and he is just a captive......
……
In addition to ammunition and military supplies, the airship carried a number of engineering vehicles and production equipment that had not yet been deployed.
These Chu Guang planned to hand them over to the logistics department for arrangement.
And in addition to these immovable cargo, in the lower cabin of the airship, there are also slaves of the legion.
Unlike Chu Guang's imagination, although the living conditions of these slaves were not very good, they were unexpectedly not too bad.
In the Chase bunk, which is close to two or three hundred square meters, there are about 100 three-layer beds, and the beds are very close to each other, barely enough to accommodate two feet.
One side of the Chase Shop is connected to the collective bathroom, which is not partitioned, and rows of showers hang in the empty room.
There were a few bars of soap in the corner of the room.
Compared to the physically uncomfortable dungeons of the Marauders, the environment here is relatively civilized, barely reaching the level of a prison.
However, what happened here is not civilized.
Looking at Chu Guang and Finod who walked into the room, the faces of the slaves in the room were full of confusion and panic.
Although it had not become a battlefield, and they had long been accustomed to the deafening sound of artillery fire and gunfire outside, they still had a vague sense of something unusual from the expressions on Finod's face and the attire of the people beside him.
Chu Guang noticed that when they made eye contact with him, although there was fear in their eyes, they did not shyly look away.
Even most of them wore a single garment made of fabric so thin that it was too thin to cover their bodies.
Standing next to Chu Guang, Finnod coughed lightly and said in a flattering voice.
"My lord, most of these slaves are low-born, and some are even wastelanders taken from the wasteland by rough people, I am sure you will not be interested......"
In his view, these are the spoils that should be rewarded to his subordinates rather than the priceless ice cream in the freezer.
Chu Guang glanced at him with a little surprise.
"You even have a hierarchy of slaves?"
Finnod: "Well, it's not a rank, it's just that officers above the centurion usually have separate rooms, and officers above the commander even have extra cabins, not only to store trophies, but also to use them as servants' quarters......"
"Including you?"
Seeing Chu Guang's smiling expression, Finod's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said stubbornly.
"Of course...... I can't deny it, but I'm sure you'll be interested in General McLaan's collection more than my taste. ”
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Take me there."
Finnod immediately said respectfully.
"Yes, sir."
General McClairn's cabin was at the very end of the airship, and not far from the entrance to the escape pod, where several soldiers of the Guards Regiment were cleaning up the blood and corpses on the ground.
There had been a fierce exchange of fire before, and the walls of the corridor were covered with bullet marks, which showed its brutality.
Seeing Chu Guang and his party coming, the two people standing at the door immediately gave a military salute.
"Administrator!"
Chu Guang nodded to them, motioned for them to continue, and then casually let the pale-faced Finod continue to lead the way.
The group arrived and soon arrived at General McLene's room.
It's quite spacious, and it's completely different from the enclosed crew quarters.
Interestingly, Chu Guang actually saw Yong's head here.
The ugly skull, the size of a two-headed cow, presumably painted with formalin or something similar, had been made into a taxidermied version.
It's just that General McLaan probably didn't have a chance to hang this thing on the bow of the Iron Heart.
In addition to Yong's head, there are also some beautiful stones, gold and silver vessels studded with diamonds, and some things that look like they are not low in technology, but they have no idea what they are used for.
According to Finod, every time General McLaan conquered a survivor colony, he would select a few of the most valuable trophies from that time and collect them in his treasury.
Some of them were made by the local natives themselves, while others were picked up from pre-war relics.
Chu Guang wasn't very interested in these treasures, and he didn't know much about them, but the nobles in the inner city of Boulder City would probably be interested in these things.
He planned to wait for the shipment back, let Yin Fang pick out some valuable things from it, and find a few familiar merchants to help sell the rest.
General Mackellen's private collection.
If you get it at the auction in Boulder City, you should be able to exchange a lot of chips.
Next to the room where the collection was stored was a bedroom, and after Chu Guang pushed the door open and entered, he found a woman standing in the room.
She was about to be in her early twenties, wearing a luxurious long dress, and her posture and temperament between her eyebrows were obviously different from those slaves that Chu Guang had seen in the lower cabin before.
But......
The panic and confusion written in his eyes were the same.
Standing next to Chu Guang, Finod respectfully introduced.
"This person's identity is not ordinary, she is the princess of the Falcon Kingdom...... One of them, whose name was Teresa, was the daughter of a powerful minister. ”
Chu Guang looked at him in surprise.
"You robbed all the princesses?"
Finnod explained in a low voice: "This should not be considered a robbery, it was the king of the Falcon Kingdom who took the initiative to give it to General McClan. ”
Teresa's face was pale, she bit her lip and didn't speak, her eyes moving back and forth on Chu Guang and Finod's faces, trying to figure out what was going on in front of her.
Chu Guang stared at her for a while, thinking about what to do.
At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he spoke.
"Hello, Ms. Teresa."
Seeing the man in the azure power armor talking to her, Teresa said nervously.
"You, hello...... Who are you? ”
Chu Guang continued.
"Administrators of the Alliance."
"Joint ...... Coalition? ”
Theresa's face showed a subconscious dazedness.
However, she soon realized that her ignorance could become an offense, and she quickly lowered her head in fear.
"I'm sorry, I'm ...... I don't mean to be offended, it's just that I've never been this far away and have no idea what's going on here......"
"Don't be nervous, our hearts are not so small," Chu Guang smiled faintly and continued, "And you are also a victim of war, we will not embarrass you." ”
Teresa looked at him blankly, then at Finnod.
Finod didn't know what Chu Guang was going to do, but he was a smart person, so he consciously closed his mouth and silently pretended that he didn't exist.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Guang guessed that she might still be confused about the current situation, so he spoke.
"You may not have figured out the situation yet, but in short, we defeated the Legion, and now this airship has been captured by the Alliance."
Confirming from the look on Finnod's face that it wasn't a joke, Teresa looked nervously at the man in front of her and asked in a trembling voice.
"So, what about me......"
"You're free."
Without waiting for her to be happy, Chu Guang continued.
"However, your status is special, and we may be about to go to war with your country, so we can't release you directly. After all, you don't want to travel thousands of kilometers home alone and then be captured by us as an enemy, do you? ”
Teresa pursed her lips slightly, many thoughts flashed in her eyes for a moment, and finally nodded slowly and said obediently.
"You...... What do I need to do? ”
That faint whiteness shook the seductive temptation of the demagoguery.
But she was obviously wrong.
Joke.
Flooding the forum with a group of handsome guys and beauties every day, Chu Guang has never seen any wind and waves?
Didn't care about her little caution at all, Chu Guang said bluntly.
"Do you have children?"
Teresa blushed slightly and shook her head slightly.
"No ......"
Chu Guang's expression was slightly disappointed.
Seeing that this princess is so young, he was originally expecting this guy to have a son who is one or two years old, but now it seems that he is too young.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang continued.
"Are you literate?"
Teresa nodded immediately.
"I can read and write...... Including writing poetry and composing music. ”
"As long as you can read and write."
Chu Guang nodded and continued.
"The Legion's military operations in the city of Shwegok have resulted in the displacement of a large number of local survivors. The Alliance's homeless home needs manpower, and I'll arrange for you to work there. ”
Theresa's face was full of confusion, and she was stunned for a moment before asking in a low voice.
"Excuse me, exactly...... What do I need to do? ”
"You'll be taught that what you're going to do is help people here rebuild their homes and learn how to rebuild."
Speaking of this, Chu Guang smiled faintly.
"You'll use this knowledge."
……
The administrative division of the People's Union era was outrageously large, and the area of the river valley province alone was large enough, and the area of Luoxia province was several times that of the river valley province.
The Falcon Kingdom is separated by thousands of kilometers from the core territory of the Alliance, and even if there is one person at each kilometer, a thousand-person team must be filled.
It is not very realistic to occupy the Falcon Kingdom directly.
The coalition, with a total population of less than 100,000, simply does not have the capacity to control an enclave 1,000 kilometers away, which is a burden for both sides.
Not to mention, the cultural philosophies of the two sides are completely different.
The best way to do this is to foster a puppet to ensure a smooth transition of power, and then gradually increase the economic and cultural influence of the alliance in the region, and incorporate it into the alliance when appropriate...... If it is necessary to do so.
It's a bit of a pity that I didn't get the "legitimacy".
But......
It doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway, it was a bad idea that came up on the spur of the moment, and Chu Guang didn't expect it to really come in handy in the end.
He prefers that, after the victory, the United Enterprise cleanses the royal family of the Falcon Kingdom, disarms it there, and then throws it to the Lion Kingdom for trusteeship.
Indirect vassalization is also one of the options.
It's just that this method also has its hidden dangers and uncertainties......
……
The northern part of Dawning City.
With the full return of the Goblin Legion's flying formation, the news of the victory was brought back from the front line.
Outside the barbed wire fence of the airport, residents of Dawning City are standing.
The flowers scattered into the air floated from the outside of the airport to the runway with the applause and cheers of the people.
Although it was already night, the enthusiasm of the people was not diminished in the slightest.
Amid the cheers of the residents of Dawning City, the Goblin Corps players landed on the runway of the airport one after another.
The triumph of the great forces will be in a few days.
The joy of victory can only be tasted by them in advance.
The plane slowly drove into the brightly lit hangar, and the wind that got off the plane was clear, looking at the two lines of poetry engraved under the hatch, and sighed with a little regret.
"It's a pity ......"
She is ready to be heroic, and even writes poems.
But I didn't expect to come back alive.
At this moment, a head poked curiously from the side, looked at the two lines of poetry on the side of the hatch, and muttered a mutter.
"In the autumn field of Shura, Qiji gallops and helps the kamikaze, chasing the arrow like a flying locust...... Cow, did you write it? ”
Her ID is called Ghost.,It's also an agility player.,It's almost the same game as Fengqing and Luoyu.,Participated in the air raid of Qingshi Town and the battle of Songlinyu before.。
Her piloting skills are not very outstanding, and she can fly the plane back to the extent that she is just that.
However, being able to get mosquitoes to crash the plane back is quite good in a sense.
Hearing that voice, Feng Qing's face turned red into pork liver, and he hurriedly pounced, pulled the player away, and said incoherently.
"No, I didn't write it...... You don't want to read it! ”
At the same time, the sky beyond the hangar.
The ostentatious mosquito was reluctant to land, and a flight show came to the sky, but it overestimated the quality of its own products, and almost pouted the wings, so it fell honestly.
The residents of Dawn City, who were waiting at the edge of the airport, laid flowers for these triumphant warriors.
All night today, until the sun rises tomorrow, the entire restaurants and taverns of Dawn City will be free of charge for these warriors who have returned safely.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Highway Town Hotel, the sound of staggering is coming and going, and people are holding wine glasses high to celebrate the hard-won victory.
Not all of them were residents of Dawnlight, but there were also merchants who had come here from Boulder, the Red River Alliance, Junk City, or further afield.
Because of the war, they have been here for days.
Now it's finally over.
"Long live the Alliance!"
"Cheers to victory!"
"I wish the manager a long life!"
At this time, someone shouted with a smile.
"Hahaha, our manager is still young, you wish him a long life, it is better to wish him more children and more blessings!"
Cheerful laughter erupted from the lobby of the hotel.
Old Hook, who was sitting behind the bar, laughed too.
At this time, the guy standing on the side sighed.
"The war is going to end...... In a few days, I'm afraid we won't be so lively here. ”
Due to the fighting in the west, a large number of caravans heading west from the eastern provinces have recently been stranded in Dawning City.
Despite the fierce fighting on the front line and the consumption of resources by the war, the major hotels in Dawning City are doing brisk business.
Perhaps in order to use alcohol to drown sorrows, beer is especially popular.
But now that the war is over, those caravans are probably going to pack up and go on their way.
"How so?"
Old Hook smiled faintly, squinted at the lively hotel lobby, and said casually in a casual tone.
"The ceremonies and celebrations of triumph are only a few days old, and many people are waiting to witness the honor of that lord, so why don't you have to stay for a few more days."
Anyway, it's good to win.
By the time the celebration is over, business may not be as hot as it is now, but it will only be temporary.
Wait for the caravans and merchants who have traveled far and wide to bring the heroic deeds and legends of courage to the distant world......
In the future, it will only be more lively than it is now.
……
At the same time, more than ten kilometers away in the city of Boulder.
Unlike the residents of Dawn, the people here are still living in yesterday's news, and they don't know what is going on on the front lines.
The first to receive good news from the front was the Daily Survivor newspaper.
Due to the financial support of the alliance behind him, Hal not only got the first-hand battle report, but even got the casualty list.
“…… Casualty list?! Show me! ”
Looking at the whining fax machine, Dolly, who heard that the casualty list had been sent, immediately leaned in, her face full of anxiety.
"He seems to be burning the Corps!"
Hal stood next to the fax machine, moving one step ahead of her, and first took the still hot first-hand document in his hand.
"Don't worry...... I'll help you find it, Burning Corps, right? There seems to be news of this corps...... Hiss ......"
Hal stared at the paper for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing the micro-expression on his face, Dolly became even more anxious and hurriedly asked.
"What's wrong?"
Hal's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he hid the fax behind him.
"Uh, it's better not to look at-"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly received a punch in the stomach.
Metal & Meat. The collision of bodies made Hal gasp in pain, and squatted on the ground with his teeth grinning.
"You guy...... Is it a barbarian?! ”
Unexpectedly, dare to beat the boss!
