Chapter 32: The Rainstorm Arrives

"God will help us?" it is ridiculous to say that from the mouth of a witch!" "Everybody knows that magicians are the furthest outcasts from God, and you have never had a firm believer - not in the past, not now, and never in the future!"

"I think you misunderstood what I meant, Miss Corion. Christina snorted, and did not use the title of "Your Highness" any more, "Have you heard of the art of war of Seris in the Far East? In the eyes of those people in the Far East, war is not just a collection of strategies and tactics between the two sides, but the result of the combination of the right time and place. ”

"The right time, the right place, the right people?" said Ivina, subconsciously repeating these three words that seemed to her to be extremely difficult to speak.

"That's right, since the Pali people occupy the territory, then we only need to occupy the people and the time. Christina said casually, "Now, we have the support of our allies in Boulogne, at least until we take the city of Pali, they will not turn against us, and our soldiers are good at command, so we occupy it, and how to use the rest of the day, your brother has already prepared under my construction." ”

"So let's talk about it. Evina snatched her brother's glass of wine and drank the red wine from it, causing Edward to shrug his shoulders and laugh helplessly.

"Didn't you pay attention to the weather when you came?" Christina's mouth curled slightly, "Although it hasn't rained for a long time, the air is full of irritating moisture, and it is uncomfortable. Don't you think a startling downpour is coming?"

"Why are you so arbitrary?" snorted Ivina.

Christina smiled and pointed to her head: "Fighting a war never relies on more than just muscles. ”

"I understand what you want to do, it's really a wizard, hmph, you have to rely on such despicable means to even fight. Brother, I'm leaving, you can stay here and stay with this femme fatale!" Evina left with an ugly face and didn't say a word more.

"As long as you can win, where does it come from anything noble or despicable, and the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, it is not necessarily how civilized it is. Christina took a big sip of her glass and poured it into her mouth, but for some reason, she choked, fell on the table and coughed violently, spitting a glass of fine red wine onto her plate.

Edward stood up, looking like he was going to wipe Christina, but she coldly refused: "Go away!"

"Oh, are you still haunted by what happened last time?" said Edward.

"Hmph, what kind of character you are, you naturally know in your heart. Cristina took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the corners of her mouth, "The more so-called Ming Lord, the more unreassuring the goods, you and the middle-aged fat man in Boulogne, and the ...... in the city of Pali The guys who claim to be knights and kings are all raccoon dogs!"

"That's a compliment. Edward was not at all offended, but laughed happily.

"But do you really trust my judgment that much?" Christina wiped her mouth and put her handkerchief back in her arms.

"Of course, to paraphrase what you said to me, that is, there is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is needed. And your words are about to be fulfilled......" Before Edward could finish speaking, thunder roared, and the rain poured down in just a few breaths.

"Looks like the time has come. Christina shook her head with a complicated expression.

"Well, the time has come. As he spoke, Edward clapped his hands and called the herald, "The order is to go down, stop the assault, all the troops are on standby, and in addition, prepare to transfer the work." By the way, the wooden boat we built in advance can also be taken out and used......"

That night, lightning and thunder, the wind howled, and the temperature dropped sharply, Theresa and Cillelia, who were sleeping peacefully in their bedrooms, couldn't help but hug each other, the king, who was thinking about countermeasures in his study, stayed up all night, Hugues, Flesovis and Count Trian, who were holding out at the head of the city, were at last able to take off their armor and take a sip of hot water, while Aruet and Clément and others were quietly looking at the sky, their eyes were cloudy but unusually bright.

And our protagonist Sinampei had a nightmare, all kinds of sad things on the earth, and all the bad things here, intertwined, appeared in his mind, stirring him up in a cold sweat, tossing and turning...... Until the next morning.

Then, the question arises.

The sky outside was still dark, the heavy rain had not stopped, the bed had already been drenched with sweat, and a biting cold had penetrated into Sinampei's bone marrow.

He was tempted to take a hot shower, but was told ......

"Mr. Si, the first floor has been completely flooded. Moreover, the royal palace has been completely turned into an island. Carla was expressionless.

"What, what?" Si Nanpei grew his mouth in surprise, and he nervously ran to the window, looking out, but was surprised to find that the Siti River, which had long been dried up because of the cut off of the water source, had risen enough overnight to cause flooding! Many had to climb onto rooftops and wait for others to come to the rescue.

"Isn't the drainage system in Pali City quite perfect?How can it be like this!" Sinan Pei was about to go crazy, "Are so many scholars at Pali University eating dry food?!"

"Actually, the sewers, as well as the rivers and canals that communicate between the city and the outside world, were blocked long before the war, this is common sense, Mr. Si. Kara said calmly.

"Okay, I know this is common sense, but aren't you prepared to deal with this kind of emergency, such as digging again, or minimizing the impact of these stagnant water?" Si Nanpei scratched his head. He only now realizes that he is overestimating the wisdom of the people of the Middle Ages......

"It's useless, the rain is still falling, it doesn't look like it will stop for a while......" Shirmel Melia walked over, a little worried and helpless, "Actually, the king and the chamberlains have been transferred, and it is no longer possible to work here." It's just me and Theresa who are still here waiting for you. ”

"I'm really flattered. Sinan Pei smiled bitterly, "So, how do we leave?"

"Of course I flew out with a broomstick. But rest assured, such heavy rain, while it will bother us, will also hinder the siege of the Caledonians......" Schillelia reassured.

But Sinampe was never reassured: "But the problem is, if the Galedonians outside are smarter than you think......"
