Chapter 585: Munda's Arrival
After a few days of flying, Duan Lie finally rushed back to the territory of the Los Empire, he entered from the west of the northern outer city, and there were several small villages in that dense wooded area, most of which were inhabited by some civilians, and the smoke of steaming in the early mornings on weekdays, and the laughter of children and the sound of felling by the toiling people could be heard from time to time on the mountain roads and woods.
But today was completely different, when he flew back from the woods, he found that the nearby villages were calm like inaccessible ruins, and several thatched huts and wooden planks showed signs of damage.
There were obvious signs of burning in the villages, and in many places there were still fires burning in the stars, and some houses had been destroyed to varying degrees, and the black lacquered wood ash swept into the sky in the gentle breeze, filling the entire forest with an unpleasant smell of burning.
"This is what the Red Dragon did?"
Duan Lie frowned, walked over on foot and found an old man in the village and asked, "Uncle, what's going on here?"
The old man was on crutches in one hand and an iron hook in the other, and when he heard Duan Lie's inquiry, he raised his head blankly, and then said with sadness in his eyes: "The gods have given up on the people, a few days ago, a dragon came to Los City, which destroyed several nearby villages, the most serious is Los City, everyone went to flee." ”
"Sure enough, it was the red dragon who did it. ”
Duan Lie, who understood the whole story, clenched his fist angrily, and finally left a few gold coins for the old man, and hurried back to the Los branch with Jace.
Sure enough, Los City and the North Outtown were the places that suffered the most......
In the past, the completion of the Los Angeles branch has invigorated the economy of the northern outer city, and in just one year, countless houses and small buildings have been built on a barren land, and various forces have also taken root in the northern outer city and set up one stronghold after another, but now look at it......
Most of the clay and slate houses have been turned into piles of rubble, thousands of meters of hilly farmland have been destroyed, and there are even charred and incomplete corpses on the ground that have not been cleaned up, and the thick smell of gunsmoke in the air stimulates the nerves of the nose.
Seeing this scene, it was difficult for Duan Lie not to get angry, this was more than ten times more serious than the destruction of the Devil Mercenary Group.
Almost no one was spared by this catastrophe, and the entire northern outer city was abandoned by the earth and the gods like a lost land.
Hoarse cries and angry complaints continued to reach the ears, and the civilians who had worked so hard to have their own homes could not bear such blows, and wandered through the ruins like wandering spirits, without purpose.
Duan Lie's gaze immediately turned to the tall appraisal tower, fortunately, nothing happened to the appraisal tower, this was not because the Los Branch was lucky enough not to be "favored" by the red dragon, but because the cold winter realm played a role.
The red dragon is a fire-attribute demonic beast, and the cold winter domain is a water-attribute ice inscription array, it is conceivable that if there is no cold winter field, the Los branch will definitely become a pile of ruins like the houses inhabited by those civilians.
In order not to cause more panic, Duan Lie found a place where no one was paying attention and jumped off Jace's back, and then rushed back to the Los Angeles branch without stopping.
When he returned to the branch headquarters, Duan Lie saw that Bills and Zach were organizing the members of the mercenary group to clean up the mess on the ground.
It may be because of the sudden arrival of the red dragon, there are signs of burning in the branch station, many brick houses have collapsed, and some mercenary group members are wrapped in bandages, and they still join the ranks of cleaning up the battlefield, and everyone's faces have different degrees of resentment and sadness, as if they have palpitations after the disaster.
"Clean up the East Side, get back to work as soon as possible, and throw all the burnt stuff out and pile it up on the dump. ”
Bills was constantly directing the mercenary group members to do this and that, while Nick was counting casualties and losses.
"Bills, this time we have killed more than a dozen people, more than thirty people have serious burns, do you want to contact Captain Lawrence and the Brilliant Apothecary to buy a batch of potions, ordinary ones definitely can't work, we need medium-quality potions or above. ”
"Then I'll get in touch, even if Captain Lawrence contacts the brilliant apothecary, it will take a while, you go to the city to see if those apothecaries are in stock, and we'll buy them at a high price." ”
"Okay, I'll contact you, I'll leave it to you here, by the way, Master Yan Mo has counted the number of unidentified equipment losses, we were swept away by the red dragon at one time, more than 1,600 pieces of unidentified equipment were swept away by the red dragon at one time, Adam has already contacted the major forces to explain, but we have to make a decision as soon as possible, if the identified equipment required by several forces cannot be recovered, we need to talk to them about the issue of compensation, and then you can go with me." ”
"Well, well, when the president is gone, that's all there is to it. ”
"Bills, Nick, Zach, I'm back. ”
Just as the two were talking, Duan Lie strode into the branch station, and seeing this savior-like figure, Bills, Nick, and Zack were all a little distracted, and immediately, Nick cried.
"President, you're finally back. ”
Duan Lie walked over and patted Nick on the shoulder, with unimaginable resentment in his eyes, but he still comforted him with words: "Don't cry, I have heard what you just said, the problem of compensation is easy to solve, you give me the clearest statistics first, Bills, I will go to Lawrence to discuss the matter of the potion, you arrange for someone to clean up here, by the way, how much energy is left in the cold winter realm?"
Zach replied, "It's not enough to activate it once, when that red dragon came, it ignited the entire station almost instantly, and if it hadn't been for the Winter Realm driving it away, it is estimated that our losses would have been even greater." ”
"Do you know where the Red Dragon came from, and why did you come to the Los Empire?"
The three of them shook their heads, and at this time, a group of people appeared in front of the door of the branch station, this group of people was not strangers, the most familiar one was Lawrence whom Duan Lie knew, the leader of the Tomorrow War Group, but Duan Lie looked at Lawrence again, and immediately became calm.
It was an old man, an old man who had studied the Emperor's Formation with him for a month.
"Master Munda, why are you here?"
