Chapter 491: Seize power in the name of disaster relief

As far as the eye could see, there was blood-red grass everywhere.

The breeze is blowing slowly, and the grass is swaying with the wind, which makes people feel a little charming.

And Hobert wiped the red moss off his clothes, and after wiping the moss off, the clothes returned to their original color.

This made Hobert exclaim, "This is the power of angels!" ”

At this time, on the battlefield of the two angels just now, the huge pool of blood was still boiling "gurgling", and around the pool of blood, there was a black viscous liquid full of "depravity" and "dirt".

In a low-lying place, there is also a small lake of blood.

Suddenly, small black, gray, and red grasses began to grow in these places, and these grasses not only grew extremely fast, but also quickly became dense.

This process is about the same as the speed at which a layer of water is poured out of the land, and when this layer of "water" is splashed on the ground, it seems that a fountain immediately appears on the ground!

That's how fast it grows!

Soon the grass covered the entire land at a speed visible to the naked eye, and pools of blood and blood-colored lakes were quickly sucked dry by the grass, revealing the hard rocks at the bottom.

However, on the rocks, the grass still grew effortlessly and lushly, and the pool of blood was soon replaced by "red grass".

The grass is still like a liquid, rippling in the wind, but the essence has changed.

The plants that had been on the ground were quickly drained of all their water by these knee-high colored grasses, and they withered at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In the end, there was only one kind of grass left on the land, and the only difference was that they were different in color.

After a few minutes, the land was desolate as the grass withered rapidly, and no plants would grow here for ten years.

Outside the Teutonic town, Hobert also reverently thanked Mother Earth and the Pope, he was still worried just now, what to do with that pool of blood? The result was solved by the pope.

Feeling that after the Pope left, Bishop Simpson and other members of the Mother Earth God Church raised their heads excitedly.

The arrival of the Pope just now means that the Pope knows what they have just done, and there is no better reward!

Bishop Simpson rose from the ground and immediately ordered everyone to mobilize everyone to pull out the grass and hand it over to Mother Earth God Church.

Because these grasses contain a lot of toxins, ordinary people can get sick after a long time of exposure, and become crazy at worst.

After the church collects it, it can be processed and made into ingredients for concoction of poison.

Hobert asked Furth to go back and convey the order: "Let Hill bring someone over at once, and another three hundred young men from the other side, together with the public servants who have been prepared for a long time, to come over to the disaster relief." ”

Of course, Hobert will not just defeat the "demon", he asked Colwin to start transferring a group from the government more than half a month ago, and then train a group of grassroots civil servants and skilled cadres.

Driving the demon away, Hobert came over to accept the power here.

It's just that in the previous plan, I didn't expect an angel-level battle, but this also provided a good reason to take over the power: disaster relief!

That's right, the battle of angels just now was a natural disaster for the South Coulson area on the west side of Full Moon Lake.

Hobart was on the edge of the battlefield at the time, and in his concept, the moment the "Grand Duke of Blood" turned a small volcano into a neutral volcano, there was definitely an earthquake of nearly 7 magnitude.

However, the scope of the earthquake spread was limited, and there were no aftershocks.

But for ordinary people, this is still a huge disaster.

While Hobert asked Furth to convey the order, he also returned with the remains of the wounded and the fallen members, and the aftermath would be notified by tomorrow at the latest.

He said to Angus and the others: "The members of the first and second squads, who are in good condition, will also participate in the next disaster relief operations. ”

Seeing Forth and the others leave, while waiting for Sill, Archibald said to Hobert: "Sir, I suggest that the corpses of these demons be hoisted in all villages and towns, so that everyone knows that the demons have been driven away by us. ”

Hobert was slightly stunned and glanced at Archibald.

Angus, who was resting on the side, said: "'Demons' also like to hang corpses from trees, and if we do the same, won't we be like them?" ”

As he pondered this question, Hobert glanced at the numb faces of the people of Teutonic Town, who were driven by the "Druid Squad" to pull weeds, and he adopted Archibald's advice: "The most important issue at the moment is to establish effective rule!" ”

He suddenly realized that the people here had been enslaved by demons for decades, and there was no point in reasoning with them for the time being.

Before Schill and the others arrived, Grove came with a team of men first, and he greeted Hobert and Simpson warmly, and brought food and wine.

The Grove then read out the king's decree that the nearby territory had been given to the Teutonic Viscount long ago, clarifying the Teutonic Viscount's legitimate right to rule over the region.

He also claimed that the Teutonic Territory had already begun to organize a manpower disaster relief and did not need the help of any force.

Hobert sneered, turned his face with Grove in front of everyone, and argued a few words.

However, he obviously did not dare to disobey the king's will now, and after scolding a few words, he asked Ciel and the others, who had just arrived, to come to the dock with all the corpses of the enemy.

After getting on the ship led by Jeffrey, Angus whispered, "Sir, I can come back after the night and kill that Grove......

Hobert was about to interrupt Argus, but Archibald smiled and said, "Captain Angus, with the mind of a lord, how can you be angry with such a person?" ”

Angus said in his heart: This manservant can't be blind, right? The lord was obviously angry like that just now!

He'd been staring at Hobart just now, and as long as the lord gave him a look, he would immediately rush up and kill that brazen knight!

But Hobert once again looked deeply at Archibald: This "dog" is very smart, could it be that I helped it turn a "desire apostle" into a secret couple, and it immediately became active?

Archibald gave Hobert's gaze a smile in return, of course the secret couple did not have such a great effect, Archibald felt the angel-level battle that happened just now, and realized that the "founder" could provide angel-level combat support to his dependents at any time.

For Archibald, this was an opportunity, a chance to go from being a beast to a backdrop for such a powerful evil god.

Now for it, Hobart is the key to this opportunity, so it is suddenly so positive.

Leaving the docks of the Teutonic town, Jeffrey's fleet landed from the harbor of Barony Felix's territory upstream.

Baron Felix's reaction was obviously not as quick as that of Viscount Teuton, and when he learned that Hobart had come to the disaster with manpower and supplies, he did not think of immediately refusing.

So Hobart honestly and unceremoniously turned his Baron's Mansion into a "disaster relief command", and Baron Felix realized that when the "demons" had just left, he had finally become the de facto ruler of the territory, and now he was not.

When the first batch of supplies arrived, 300 young adults gathered directly from the construction site, as well as more than 50 civil servants, Mayor Conrad and Human Resources Knight Colwin came to direct the rescue work.

Hobert asked Hill and Corwin to take over the two surrounding realms.

Previously, the "demon" ruled a total of five noble territories, and now the richest Teutonic viscounty territory could no longer be taken over, so the other territories, of course, had to be taken over immediately.

One of the barons' domains was not affected, and Hobert's reason for disaster relief did not apply to that domain, but fortunately, the baron had never been to his fiefdom, and there was no pressure to receive it.

Hobert took Angus, Helen and other extraordinary people to the territory of Baron Eugene, the most "disaster-affected".

Along the way, they saw many of the refugees, scrawny, in tattered clothes, some with wounds.

Hobart has a deeper understanding of the previous demonic domination, and those demons have no effective rule at all.

Under their thirst for murder and violence, ordinary people have no way to resist, so the people here have no hope, and they only know how to bow down and pray to the devil, and no one is actively engaged in agricultural production and no one is active in labor.

The harvest is always bad, of course, you have to eat less, and over time, you will lose weight like this.

Conrad's men, who will arrive shortly, will resettle the refugees before sending them back to rebuild their homes.

Hobart and the others rode forward on horseback, while asking about the situation of Barony Eugene's territory along the way, and after many more inquiries, Hobart got a general information: Baron Eugene was dead, and almost no one there escaped.

When he first entered Eugene's territory, he could still see some refugees, but further along, all that remained was the traces of the fire, and the huge cracks in the ground, the traces of magma that had once erupted.

Angus and Helen gradually realized that something was wrong, and it seemed that a demigod war should not have such great power!

After walking a little further, everyone saw the colorful, endless wilderness.

Even though the ground is covered with thick dead grass, it still can't hide the barren feeling here.

Hobart and the others had never farmed, but their spirituality made them very clear that this wilderness was not suitable for cultivation for a short time, and it was not suitable for any human habitation.

Hobart jumped off his horse, and everyone dismounted and followed in Hobert's footsteps.

I saw Hobert use his cane to push through the grass, and inside were two black figures of one large and one small, who were still worshipping in the direction of the pool of blood when they were burned to death.

The surrounding grass absorbed the remaining nutrients from the two men, and eventually the two men turned into fragile dried corpses, as if they could be shattered at the touch of a touch.

Hobert noticed that the small figure was only seven or eight years old.

For some reason, Hobert didn't feel guilty at all this time.

If it was before, he would have felt guilty for his poor planning and accidentally triggering an angel-level battle, and so many people had died.

The reason why he has such an idea is because he has received a "people-oriented" education since he was a child, and no matter what time it is, life is the most precious!

But now it's different, and he's figured out a problem in the Great Smog of Beckland: In this world of madness and extraordinary, ordinary people's lives are so fragile, and so is he, Hobert.

A fragile extraordinaire is not entitled to self-blame, and it is only after he has become strong enough that his self-blame does not look so ridiculous and humble.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Hobert suddenly spoke: "Eugene collar was destroyed, and I am partly responsible." ”

At this time, he said this, of course, not really self-blame, just a means.

He continued, "I didn't think it through, and the enemy summoned an angel! ”

Angus, Helen and the others in the back all showed surprised expressions, they had felt the huge pressure from this direction before, but at that time they didn't realize at all that there had been an angel-level battle here.

The two of them had similar thoughts in their hearts at this time: I'll just say, how could a battle at the level of a saint cause such a big disaster?

Then the Extraordinary Beings present realized another question: how were the enemy angels repulsed?

Just when everyone had this question, Archibald was already very cooperative and asked, "Sir, how did you solve this catastrophe in the South Coulson area?" ”

Hobert nodded with satisfaction, this "dog" is quite good at talking: "Of course, I also summoned an angel." ”

Angus and Helen in the back immediately felt that their brains could not be used.

Angus first thought: I haven't heard that the extraordinary person of the "lawyer" path is good at summoning!

He immediately realized that he was thinking wrong: could it be that Hobart had a close connection with some angel? I've heard that one of the family angels has survived, so could it be that the Hoberts and their sons have made contact with the rest of the Tudor family?

Then he realized again that this was not the right idea, because if that was the case, Hobart could have said it generously, but Hobart said it very vaguely.

And having a close connection with an angel and being able to summon them to fight for them when they follow them are two different things.

Finally, Angus realized: Maybe the angel was sent by some mysterious being?

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Angus was even more shocked, and when he looked at Hobert's back, it seemed to be tall and mysterious!

Helen realized: "I underestimated Hobert too much, and I always thought that he had to have a good father to become a baron at such a young age.

"The more I get in touch, the more I realize that his strength and means far surpass my image, and he is not as useless as those nobles in Fenerport City.

"Ms. Monica's conjecture is right, there is an organization behind Hobert, and there is at least one angel in this organization!

"Those ten masked reinforcements should be from the organization behind Hobart."

As Hobart expected, no one cared about their own self-blame, they would only focus all their attention on angel-level combat power.

Hobert added, "Let's take a look around and see if there's any chance of finding survivors!" ”

This sentence woke everyone up, and they all followed Hobert's order to look around.

But everyone knows that there can't be survivors, it's an angel-level battle.

But they felt that something needed to be done now to alleviate the shock they had just had.

The reason why Hobart brought this group of extraordinary people here was to shock them, and also to make them feel the strength of Baron Hobart, so as to pave the way for some feasible operations later.

"Angus!" Hobert called out to the captain of the first team.

Angus, who had just taken two steps, immediately returned, waiting for Hobart's orders.

Hobert, however, walked through the thick withered grass to a small hill.

Angus followed closely behind, and he realized that the lord had something to say to himself.

"What do you think?" Arriving at the top of the hill, Hobert asked, looking at the wilderness in front of him.

Angus also looked at the wilderness in front of him and said, "It's like a miracle." ”

Hobert smiled: "In ancient times, angels were also called slaves to God. ”

Then he changed his words: "I asked you how you felt when you saw two corpses in the grass.

Without waiting for Angus to answer, Hobart asked himself again: "Just now I suddenly realized that life is so fragile and humble. ”

"yes." Angus followed Hobert's words and said, "Under the majesty of the gods, all life is fragile. ”

Hobert glanced at Angus, then continued to look at the wilderness: "There are some things that you should make a choice.

"Believe me not to repeat why my father left the Tudor family, through this battle, I saw your talent, that family whose atmosphere has long been rotten to the roots, will bury you for the rest of your life!"

In fact, Angus's performance can only be said to be good, far from reaching an excellent level.

However, this is a good breakthrough to pry open the Tudor family, so he is easily highly regarded by Hobert at the moment.

Hobert's words made Angus happy and then worried, and he also knew that with his origin, he had no hope of becoming a demigod in his life.

So he behaved very aggressively in the face of the assignment of the family to spy on Christine, who was not interested in it.

After learning that Hobert could summon the help of an angel, Angus did have some other thoughts.

Hobart continued, "Did you notice the last ten reinforcements to appear? ”

"Noticed!" Angus was also curious, where did Hobert get those reinforcements?

"Many of them were once marginalized members of the family," Hobert said, pointedly, "and in less than half a year, one of them has been promoted from Sequence 8 to Sequence 6."

"I think at his current pace, he should have a chance to be promoted to Sequence 5 by next year at the latest.

"He was far from getting such a good opportunity from you at that time, and he was promoted so quickly, just because he made a very right choice."

This is true, Elliott's choice at that time was more straightforward than Angus's, of course, it also had a lot to do with Hobert's use of the identity of "founder" to face Elliott at that time.

Hobert pointed ahead and said, "Look at this wilderness, I have the opportunity to become a person with this level of power, because I have also made the right choice at the most critical juncture in my life." ”

Angus no longer hesitated, and knelt down behind Hobart: "Sir, please accept my allegiance!" ”

Hobert hurriedly turned around and helped Angus up: "Being able to get your sincere help has also added a big boost to me!" ”

Archibald and his secret puppets watched the whole scene of Hobert's subordinates, and he couldn't help but marvel at Hobert's skill and use of language.

After helping Angus up, Hobart said, "I already have some ideas on how to deal with the aftermath of the four members who died in the line of duty, and I will leave it to you next."

"First of all, give them a share of the loot from the first squad, and secondly, of course, return their extraordinary characteristics.

"I can make a promise that in addition to giving them back the extraordinary characteristics of the person themselves, I will also give them the extraordinary characteristics of the lower sequence!

"For example, if a 'sheriff' dies in the line of duty, in addition to the extraordinary characteristics of the 'sheriff' given to his family, he will also be given another extraordinary characteristic of an 'arbiter'."

Angus was very surprised at first, and then happy: "Their family will definitely be grateful to Dade." ”

In this way, Angus will be able to give an account to the families of the deceased, and when he returns to the family recruitment, it is estimated that there will be more people who want to join the Special Operations Department than before!

"But there are two conditions that need to be met." Hobert said, "Give his extraordinary characteristics to their family, not the family, you have to verify that."

"The second condition is that the extraordinary properties are kept with me before they are handed over to their families.

"This is to protect you from being targeted by the family, and if they have any anger, they can push it all to me."

Angus said gratefully, "Thank you, sir, for thinking so much about me." ”

Archibald on the side felt that there must be a problem here, but it was not clear what the specific problem was.

"The last point is the issue of compensation for them." Hobert said, "You have been in the territory for a while, and you know what my difficulties are now.

"In terms of compensation, I can't benchmark the official extraordinaries for the time being, and the martyrs of Sequence 9 can only be given 1,300 pounds, or 1,500 gold liso.

"Sequence 8 doubled, sequence 7 doubled again."

Angus smiled: "It's nice to have compensation." ”

This is true, for the wild extraordinary, the question of martyrdom and compensation has never been considered.

That's why Hobert proposed this standard of compensation, which is less than half of the Orthodox Church, and will continue to use this standard for some time.

Huo Bo nodded and said, "I plan to expand the size of the first team, and after dealing with the aftermath, it will be expanded to at least eighteen members." ”

"You gave such a good compensation offer, I don't think there should be any problem." Angus smiled.

Hobert smiled with satisfaction: "This is your next focus. ”

"Yes!"

By the end of this conversation, Hobert's main purpose of "personally relieving the disaster" had been accomplished, and that he would be able to dig into the corners of the Tudor family more happily in the future.

When the group returned to Baron Felix's lord's palace, it was already dusk.

The initial resettlement of the refugees has been completed, and Conrad is ready to rebuild their homes in cash-for-work as instructed by Hobert.

Moreover, Conrad found that the spring planting on the western shore of the entire Full Moon Lake was very sloppy, and he was going to organize people to re-plant the spring first to ensure this year's harvest, and then take time to redivide the land.

It is foreseeable that for some time to come, Conrad will be very busy, and he will not have time to stay in Baron Felix's lord's mansion to dispatch resources from all sides.

Hobert had no choice but to stay and take charge of the "new territory" on the west shore of Full Moon Lake himself.

After dinner and work problems, Hobert returned to his room and asked no one to disturb his rest, and he went to the "Land of Disorder" to look at the loot he had received again.
