The tragic situation of the port was like the end of the world, and the hearts of everyone present were cold.

The people of Edin Island were frightened at first, and then they were all happy to think: Thank God, it wasn't me who died.

Seeing the tragedy of death, people will cherish the beauty of being alive even more.

Lord Rutherford's face was particularly pale, and it wasn't until he saw the corpses strewn across the ground that he understood what a terrible foe the lich they were facing.

Think about it two days ago, he also led his soldiers to personally besiege this lich, and even saw the shadow of this lich several times.

Closely, he was only a hundred feet away from the Lich, and if the Lich had looked at him at that time, he could have killed him with a single spell.

Thinking of this, the city lord of Rutherford couldn't help but touch his neck Chapter 1081 to force a confession (ask for a monthly pass), his back was cold, and he was afraid for a while.

Then I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that I was still alive, living well, and there were no missing arms or legs.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, and then looked at the people of Lorraine standing in front of him with a little pride.

Rutherford also knew in his heart that he himself had a very good appearance in the past few days, and had been on the front line since the beginning of his work, personally besieging the lich with illness and allowing the people to move safely.

After destroying the port, the lich began to vent his anger on the entire residential area of the island, and if it wasn't for the timely transfer, the casualties would have increased more than ten times.

If that really happens, no matter how good he does his work in the future, the bigwigs of the Ruman Empire will still not hesitate to pluck his head and make people angry, even if he does his best.

As a middle-level official, Lord Rutherford has a deep understanding of the ruthlessness and terror of politics.

Those bigwigs don't have a good thing, they usually have to sell themselves to provide good food, good wine, and good meat, and they have to pay filial piety from time to time.

Once something happens, they all stand with their arms crossed and watch the jokes, don't expect those grandchildren to force confessions (ask for monthly tickets) to say a good word for themselves.

Maybe you have to find an opportunity to fall into the well and step on it again. Even in order to get rid of the involvement, they kill people and kill people.

So all along, he clearly knew that those grandsons would never be able to point to them, and in the end they would have to rely on themselves.

Therefore, at the first moment of the crisis, the city lord of Rutherford did not think of using the government-specific clipper hidden in the cave - the existence of this ship was only known to a very small number of officials such as the city lord.

However, he knew how harsh the Ruman Empire's punishment of the officials who escaped from the battle was, and the consequences were even harsher than if he died here.

And for the officials who died in the line of duty, the praise of the Ruman Empire was not stingy.

At that time, he was ready to die in the line of duty.

Fortunately, in the midst of that crisis, he finally survived. And even more fortunate is that all his efforts are just in the eyes of the big guys.

With only cold telegrams and official letters, listing the events and casualties, the big guy above will only think that he has done a good job in dealing with the crisis faithfully, but it is only good, and he may be given a commendation order.

But don't think about it more.

But now his every effort was clearly in the eyes of Catherine and Leo.

Lord Rutherford knew in his heart that this was a great opportunity for him.

You know, the Lord of Rutherford is also a child who is very hard to be sent to garrison the island, far away from the prosperous world, which in itself shows how hard the Lord of Rutherford is.

But after Catherine and Leo met in person, he was labeled a royal confidant from now on. When you think about it, these two royals will know: Oh, it's who.

In their memory, there is such a number one character as themselves, so it is natural to pay more attention.

And without this kind of luck, no matter how honest and honest he, the city lord, is fair and selfless, he will never have a chance to get ahead in his life.

With this kind of luck, even if he just bought a pack of cigarettes for the leader's errand, in the eyes of the leader, it is this young man's diligence and willingness to work hard that is worthy of vigorous cultivation.

Lord Rutherford felt that he should really kneel down and thank some of the gods of light before going to bed at night.

The catastrophe on Edin Island actually attracted half of the members of the royal family of Ruman and His Majesty the Pope, who did not even dare to think about it.

Rutherford was rewarded directly from the top.

Even when she was visiting the refugees, Catherine gave a pair of jewelry on her body to the lady of the city lord, who was serving the refugees.

This has determined that the bureaucracy at the top will not dare to peel off the skin layer by layer, exploit the original credit, and stuff a large group of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law to come in and steal the credit -- they often do this kind of thing, and they will continue to do it.

This alone is enough to make the city lord of Rutherford, who has been watching his boss's face and live his life, raise his eyebrows and be happy for three days and three nights.

And the most important point is that Lord Rutherford himself is still alive, which is the premise of everything.

If he was a little unlucky and died on the front line, the empire would naturally not be stingy with praise. He would even posthumously confer a real title of nobility, but it had nothing to do with him as Lord Rutherford.

Just like the unlucky bishop who died, the propaganda department might sing his praises vigorously, and then do something to learn from the Lord of Rutherford, calling on everyone to follow the example of Lord Rutherford, and then ・・・・・・

There was no more then.

He will be forgotten for a short time, and only his wife and children will remember to go to church on the day of his death.

Fortunately, he is still alive and well, and Lord Rutherford knows that a bright future awaits him. This misfortune for the people of Edin Island was a great blessing for him.

In order to compensate for the huge negative impact of the Ettin incident, reduce the fear of the people of the whole empire about this incident, and boost the morale of the people of Ruman, according to the principle of government, the high-level bigwigs will definitely vigorously promote the victory of Edin Island.

Yes, it's a victory~!

Under the leadership of Rutherford, the Administrator of the Imperial Government, and under the wise command, the people of Edin Island were resourceful and brave in their victory over the evil and terrible Lich.

In this way, I would like to tell the people of Sù that there is nothing to be afraid of evil undead creatures, and that under the leadership of the great Emperor His Majesty, we Ruman people will surely overcome any difficulties, defeat any enemy, and achieve victory after victory.

To this end, the propaganda department will set up a few typical figures and promote them as heroes, as well as the glorious deeds of the people of Edin Island who fought fearlessly.

As for civilian casualties, that's only secondary.

As a veteran politician who has been in politics for more than 20 years, Lord Rutherford is very familiar with these things.

Lord Rutherford sincerely thanked the bishop for the dead fat man, if it wasn't for his reminder before he died, he might not have been able to do this job.

"Go in peace, I'll take credit for you. I didn't find out that this fat man was actually a good person. Rutherford said to himself, then glanced at his lieutenant behind him, "If I die, this bastard will probably say the same thing in his heart, right? Maybe he will write a gorgeous memorial message." ”

At this time, the city lord of Rutherford suddenly felt the urge to laugh in his heart.

Unaware of the complex and violent battle of thought going on in the castle keeper's mind, Lorraine had been frowning at the corpses in the harbor: after all these days, and the influence of the Lich's black magic, many of them had begun to emit a foul smell.

He turned his head to look at Rutherford and said, "This place must be cleaned up as much as possible, and there may be a plague if it is too late." ”

At this time, the city lord of Rutherford hurriedly stood up straight and said solemnly: "Yes, my lord, please rest assured. ”

Lord Rutherford knew that a credit was about to fall on his head, but the more times like this, the better he was to show his caution, and the more sad the expression appeared on his face.

Rutherford had seen too much of the rampant aftermath of the young man's ambition and finally fell before the finish line.

If you show a little bit of a blessing in disguise, it is equivalent to losing all your efforts.

And Rutherford had already thought about how to write this report to the higher-ups.

Of course, the greatest credit for this is the arrival of the eldest princess Leo and the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine, and the Forbidden Spell Magister Dean Rest, and the arrival of the eldest princess Catherine and the Pope Xià played a decisive role, and the loyalty to the emperor Xià inspired all the defenders to fight to the end.

To be sure, Lord Rutherford was not a political opportunist, nor was he a careerist who climbed through the bones of others.

He is just an ordinary person, and he can't help but be tempted when he sees the benefits.

Lorraine had a good impression of the city lord, at least in the most dangerous times, he led people to the front line, which is already a very valuable quality among officials.

Sylmeria was also stunned by the tragic situation that she had never seen before.

She remembered what her father, St. Paul, had said before her accession to the throne: "You will see too many thorns and sufferings on this path."

Shilmelia endured the extreme discomfort in her heart, her expression was solemn and kind, and she said softly: "Leave it to me." The Holy See is still experienced in doing this kind of thing. The victims need a funeral. The bodies of the deceased must also be decontaminated, otherwise there may be unpredictable dangers. ”

Catherine agreed, and said, "That's the best." ”

Shilmelia said calmly: "Not only that, but also a thorough search of the entire island to prevent hidden dangers from being left." ”

Rutherford hurriedly bowed down and said respectfully, "Obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

The lich has been on the island for several days, and no one is sure if he has laid down any back-ups, and it is not sure whether the corpse demon is dead or not, but it is a terrifying undead with the ability to devour, if it still has a breath, the slightest negligence will be spared, and when it comes back to life on the island, then everyone's sin will be great.

Lord Rutherford said, "I will at once go and mobilize the labor force of the whole island." ”

On the same day, the whole of Edin Island was operated to clean up the bodies of those killed in the harbor.

The broken bodies of thousands of victims were piled up with dozens of pyres.

The remaining priests of the Etin Island Temple followed behind His Majesty the Supreme Pope in fear, purifying the bodies of the victims one by one.

In the end, Hilmelia personally presided over the ceremony, holding a requiem funeral for the victims of the island, and Leo represented the royal family of Jouman, placing the lighted torches on the pyre.

For those who have died of necromancy, burial or sea burial may leave risks, and only cremation is the safest way.

In the evening, the island of Edin regained its tranquility, and while the whole of Edin was still mourning in silence among the dead villagers, in the fortress of war, Lorraine kicked the lich box on the ground and watched it hit the wall and bounce to the ground, and said coldly, "Now it's time to discuss the problem of this terrorist." ”

The black, shiny Lich Crate was as cold as ice, and the brightly lit hall was a little gloomy as a result.

Leo crouched down with a short gun in his hand and poked the Lich's lifebox with the barrel of it, the intricately carved metal box not moving at all. Leo glanced at Leo and said, "Hey, boy, don't move, this souvenir is mine." ”

"What's yours and mine," Leo said with a smile on his face, "You and I can still be so clearly separated, aren't yours mine?" ”

Leo smiled narrowly and said, "You want it?"

Leo nodded and said, "I'm going to arrest the guy and judge him in public, and then parade through the streets." ”

"It's not impossible to discuss. The old god of Lester said, "Look at your sincerity." ”

Lorraine pouted, this old man wants to knock people again, these guys, slaughtering big families are addicted, this unhealthy trend must be stopped.

Lorraine coughed, turned her head to look at Lorina, and said, "I heard that the wind in front of the Maple Leaf Danlin Girls' Dormitory is always very strong, especially in summer, why is this wind also traditional?"

Luo Lina suddenly thought of her previous experience, sneered, pinched her fingers, and said, "Every time a strong wind passes, the thunder in front of the men's dormitory of the Maple Leaf Danlin Master Academy is also very strong. ”

Lorraine smiled and shook her head, it seems that the female mages of Maple Leaf Danlin have a tradition, and they are not the only ones who have tasted it, and then said: "I heard that this wind has been blowing for many years." ”

Then he looked at Lester with a teasing smile in his eyes.

Leist's old face turned red, he was also a person of status and status now, and if he was promoted by Lorraine about the absurdity of his youth, his old face would be lost.

Lester said happily: "Leo, seeing that you are so sincere, this is for you." ”

"Since you sent me so sincerely, then I reluctantly accepted it. Well, you gave it to me. Leo looked at Lester with wide eyes.

Lester smiled wryly and nodded, this little rascal always took advantage of him.

Leo smashed the lich's life box with the butt of his gun, turned his head and looked at Lester with a curious expression, and said, "Grandpa, is this guy still alive?

Lester blew his beard and glared: "How is it possible, I already controlled the power when I cast the spell, and I only used fifty percent of my strength, and when I caught this guy, I obviously felt that he still had a breath."

Could it be that the hand is really heavy, and this guy didn't catch his breath?"

Leo pointed his pistol at the lich's life box and said loudly: "The lich inside listen to me, you have been surrounded by me and Xiaobai, put down your weapons and come out to surrender with your hands raised, resistance is fruitless." ”

Xiao Bai, as a competent dogleg, howled beside him, staring at the life box of the lich on the ground with a fierce expression.

For five minutes, there was no movement.

Leo turned to Lorraine and said, "This guy should have been played to death by Grandpa Lester." ”

"No~!" Lester exclaimed angrily.

Lorraine looked at Sylmeria, in terms of understanding of dark creatures, there are still so many people who still count Sylmeria, and the Holy See is a professional in doing this.

Sylmeria smiled slightly, watching the old and the young arguing there, with Leo as a troublemaker, it would not be boring anywhere.

Shirmel nodded and said, "I can still feel the breath of the undead." ”

Lorraine sneered, stood up and totoed, kicked the lich's life box to Xiaobai's feet, and said, "Xiaobai, stomp on it for me." ”

"Whew~!" the little white nose howled, raised his eighty-yard big foot, and stepped towards the iron box.

"Don't~!" A hollow voice suddenly sounded, and the person who spoke seemed to be weak, and the voice was weak.

Lorraine snapped his fingers, told Xiaobai to step back, and said, "Don't pretend to be dead if it's okay." ”

Lester clapped his hands and said, "I'll just say, the lich is actually the most afraid of death." The lightning arrows I used couldn't blow his life box open. ”

Once a faint transparent figure slowly emerged from the lich's life box, through his figure, even the murals on the back wall could be seen.

Lorraine frowned and made a closer look to see that it was a thin, bald old man, with a hunched goatee on his chin and a messy goatee on his chin, in keeping with the traditional image of a mage's raunchy.

The phantom was silent for a moment, and said slowly in a weak and empty voice: "My remaining strength can only maintain my image for a few minutes, and it is better to say it quickly if I have something to say." ”

Lorraine leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, laughed, and said, "Xiaobai, step on him." ”

Little White grinned, faithfully ready to carry out Lorraine's orders, and stepped on the lich's lifebox with his big feet.

In fact, it is unlikely that Xiaobai's strength will step through this metal box, but the lich will not dare to bet on it.

"Slow ・・・・・・down," cried the Lich's apparition in panic, "let me say anything, I'll listen to you, please don't do it." ”

Lorraine waved his hand to let Xiaobai back away, and said, "Ussie Peter, I see that you already understand your current situation.

Don't talk to us about the conditions, you don't have the qualifications anymore, the only thing you can do now is to please me, and if I am happy, I may spare your life. ”

As Lester said, the lichs are extremely afraid of death.

They are not afraid of death, the body is just a tool for them, and if it is destroyed, it will be replaced with a new one.

What they fear is real death, being broken open and their souls dissipated.

The phantom of Urthy Peter glared at Lorraine, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Well, you won." What do you want to know?"!!
