Chapter 126: Let's Go Now
When she first heard that the Winged people had left Lake City, Ilea was still a little nervous, thinking that those guys were unwilling to watch her and her rebels march all the way, and finally couldn't help but make a move.
However, from the news that came back later, the female lord learned that those Wing Clan people did not march towards Rock Snow City, but went all the way to the east and left the western realm.
And unlike when they came, they retreated very simply this time, and did not even settle in the towns along the way, but kept waving their wings and hurried, and it took less than five days to fly out of the western border.
The female lord was worried that the news was not accurate enough, or that those Wing Clan people were playing some tricks, so she asked a few more local radio stations, and finally spelled out the movement trajectory of the Wing Clan troops these days, and found that it was actually a straight line, extending straight beyond the western border.
That's when they were sure they really retreated.
At this time, the news of the withdrawal of those Wing Clansmen from Lake City also began to spread in the west, accompanied by another more terrifying rumor.
…………
After the Wing-Clan were gone, Perles, the lord of Lagoon, was finally able to move out of the inn and return to his castle.
Returning home after more than a month, Pers's heart was full of mixed feelings, he felt that he, the lord of the city, was too aggrieved to be kicked out of his house on his own turf.
Moreover, the Wing Clansmen also closed the gates of the city, closed the drawbridge outside the city, and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, and Perls could not take his family to live in the manor outside the city for a while.
In addition, the city has been closed for so long, and the city's economy has long been in chaos, food and daily necessities have risen to the sky, and the Persians are more realistic, in order to survive, they handed over all their belongings to those Wing people, and they didn't secretly stay.
And there are so many people in his family that he almost can't eat in the back, but fortunately, he is the master of the city after all, and he still survives with the help of his vassals.
But others, especially civilians, are not so lucky, and Perls roughly calculates that this time the city will be closed and starved to death, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die.
In fact, there was still a lot of food in the city in the lake, but they were all held by those winged people, and they were unwilling to distribute it to the residents of the city, and Pers begged several times, but without exception they all touched the ashes of their noses, and he didn't even see Solomon's figure.
There were only more than 60,000 people in the city in the lake, and Pers didn't dare to continue counting the losses.
And the rest of the people are fleeing as soon as the city gates are opened, and many people don't even want their property.
On the way to the castle, Perls has already met more than a group of people who are fleeing from the city of Lake with their families.
Those people were stunned when they saw Perls, and then ran faster, and Perls was very heartbroken, many of these people and their ancestors chose to settle here because of the stability of the city in the lake.
As a city standing in the middle of a lake, surrounded by water, the city has kept countless powerful enemies out of it for many years.
Alessandro, the founding emperor of the empire, had to make a pact with the Marel family to allow them to continue to rule the city in the lake, which earned the Mariel family's allegiance.
However, today is different from the past, and in the face of those flying Wing Clan, the surrounding lake can no longer protect the city.
Thinking of this, Perls felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't like those rude and domineering Wing Clansmen, but when those Wing Clansmen left, he was inexplicably a little flustered.
Thinking that Perls had arrived outside the castle, he had to have someone climb the wall with a ladder to open the door in the face of the closed gate.
And the moment the door opened, Perls felt his breathing stop.
Looking at the terrifying scene inside, he involuntarily took a few steps back, and finally his legs were weak, and he actually sat on the ground with his butt.
Everywhere he looked, there were corpses, densely packed corpses, at least a thousand on sight, all with wings on their backs, some of them still maintaining strange postures.
Perls only felt that his brain was blank, and he couldn't say a word when he was frightened.
It took him a while to recover a little, and he boldly continued to walk towards the castle, and the main building was also full of corpses, estimated to be thousands.
Fortunately, Perls had become a little numb and less frightened along the way, and he recalled some rumors in the city not long ago.
Said that most of those Wing people didn't sleep in the middle of the night, carrying something out of the city.
Then contact those Wing Clansmen who suddenly turned back halfway, and did not allow the city in the lake to open the city gate again.
A ridiculous and terrifying idea crossed Perls's mind.
Could it be that the Wing-Clan people were carrying nothing else at night, but corpses? As for the corpses in the castle, it was because they left in too much hurry and had not had time to transport them out.
Perls shuddered, how many of those Wing Clansmen had died, and after more than a month of continuous removal, more than 2,000 corpses were still left in his castle.
And didn't they participate in any battles during this time, why did there be such a large attrition?
Perls couldn't figure it out, and he stood in the middle of the corpse, his body shaking uncontrollably.
It's no wonder that those Wing-Clan people quietly left the City in the Lake City last night without greeting anyone, and the city lord of Pers also woke up in the morning to find out that the Wing-Clan warriors who were responsible for guarding the city were all gone.
What happened to cause this Wing Clan army to suffer such a terrible blow?
Perls was still thinking about it, but he had already heard one of the attendants exclaim, "Saturday, it's Saturday's divine punishment!"
"Saturday's divine punishment really came upon those Wing-Clan!!" The attendant excitedly said, "Prophet Merlin is not lying, this is divine punishment!!! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and gestured to a six, and Perls frowned, "Jacques, when did you believe in that foreign god too?" ”
Jacques said, "I...... My mother converted to Saturday a year ago, and she often told us about Merlin and Shuangxiu, and my father converted six months ago, but I haven't made up my mind yet.
"No, I didn't make up my mind before, I plan to find a Hugh in two days to help me hold the initiation ceremony, Lord Perles, please come with me!"
Perls was stunned, "I, why should I be with you?" ”
"You've seen the Kamui of Saturday with your own eyes, haven't you been touched? And the Wing-Clan had fled. ”
Jacques's last words woke up Perces and made him worry again, yes, those Wing-Clan had already fled, so what should he, the lord who had just surrendered to the Wing-Clan, do.
Pers's face changed several times, and he finally patted Jacques on the shoulder and said, "Don't wait two days, we'll leave now." ”
"Huh?" This time, Jia Ke was caught off guard, "Now, let's leave now, is it so urgent?" ”
"Yes, for now," Perls had made up his mind, "I'll go with you to Merlin and Ser Elia, and go back and tell your parents and we'll go...... No, don't go by yourself, just find someone to help you run, and we can get out of the city early. ”
