Chapter 485: Burn It All

Kells's idea coincided with Sesti's, and the two immediately came up with a plan for the soldiers to lead a part of the population to tear down uninhabited houses and transport timber to the city walls to start a fire. The rest of the soldiers piled up fuel on the city, and the rest were responsible for maintaining order in the city.

With the help of Correa's army, the city of Marel finally became orderly, the people were no longer panicked, everyone came to their senses, it was impossible to transfer so many people overnight, and it was necessary to find a way to defend the city first. With the joint efforts of the people and the army, many houses were soon torn down, and the timber used to build houses was sent to the city walls, and many firewood stacks were piled up on the city.

Sesti apparently knew more about the city's defenses, and seeing that it was enough for him to command the city, Kells offered to command the troops to maintain law and order in the city. The two worked together to get the whole city up and running, and at this point, only everyone could work together to get through it.

Kells' biggest fear was that there would be unrest in the city, and if someone took advantage of the situation, the whole transfer plan would be completely ruined. He led a part of the cavalry to patrol around the city, and once the existing hidden dangers of insecurity were immediately eliminated, any suspicious people were immediately controlled, and when these were done, it was already dark.

Suddenly, a shout was heard from the top of the city, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the city wall began to clamor one after another.

"What's going on?" Kells asked the people around him.

"My lord, it seems that the Dark Devils have arrived. A soldier reported.

Kells looked up at the city walls and saw piles of firewood lit, and the light of the fire illuminated the city as if it were day. The fires on the city walls were next to each other, like a long snake of flames, surrounding the entire city, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky.

Kells wanted to go up to the city to take a look, but he was more worried about the safety of the teleportation shaft, and if something went wrong there, the whole city would be in a desperate situation.

"Let's go to the teleportation shaft first. Under the leadership of Kells, everyone rode towards the original city lord's mansion.

When I came to the City Lord's Mansion, I saw that the people outside the wall were crowded, and they looked at the surrounding city walls with nervous eyes, for fear that the Dark Devil Army would enter over the wall. Kells led the people into the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the place where the teleportation well was, originally he thought that the teleportation well was not very big, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that he was wrong.

On the horse farm in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, a huge teleportation shaft was running non-stop, and with the dazzling white light, groups of people were teleported away. Now the teleportation well of the Magic Guild has been greatly improved compared to the past, and it can send hundreds of people away at a time, and it can be operated without the need for a magician, with a little training.

Kells pulled over one of the Holy Cult soldiers who was in charge of the teleportation shaft and asked, "How many people can be teleported at a time now?"

Although the Holy Cult soldiers didn't know Kells, he knew that he was a big official, so he said honestly: "You can teleport about four or five hundred people at a time. ”

"How long does it take to teleport once?" Kells asked again.

"About ten minutes. The soldier said.

Kells calculated slightly, according to this degree, about 3,000 people can be sent away in an hour, and there are about 40,000 or 50,000 people in the city at present, so it will take sixteen or seventeen hours to send them away. Actually, it may be more than that, after all, this is the ideal state, and it will take at least a whole day.

Kells was worried that the fuel in the city would last that long, and although there were a lot of houses, the city was already small, and there was only a limit to what could be burned after all.

"Can you speed it up a little faster?" asked Kyles anxiously.

"Let's try as much as we can, but the teleportation shaft is only that big, and it can't fit in too many people. The soldier said helplessly.

"Okay, I see. Kells said: "In short, we can speed up as much as we can, and it will be very bad for us if it drags on for a long time." ”

After leaving the Lord's Palace, Kells went to inspect the city again, and saw a black army in the wasteland outside the city, staring at the small city, like a hungry beast ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

It just so happened that Sesti also arrived, and he said to Kells, "The Dark Devils haven't moved yet, I think they're probably waiting." Once we run out of fuel, then they will attack. ”

"Can Lord Sesti be sure that the Dark Devils are afraid of fire?" Kells didn't know much about the Dark Devils, and he still had some difficulty at ease about using fire to stop the Dark Devils.

"That's for sure, the Holy Cult Army has fought against the Dark Devil Army several times before, and this is the experience we have summed up. Sesti said.

"In this way, how long the fire can burn is the key. Kells said.

"That's right, the only thing we can hope for is to get everyone away before the fuel runs out, or we'll be doomed with these monsters. Sesti said, glancing out of the city.

As soon as Kells came down from the city walls, he ordered his soldiers to continue demolishing more houses and carrying everything that could be burned to the walls, including all kinds of clothing and fabrics, and even oil from ordinary people's homes, to be used as fuel in case of emergency.

After the Correa army had been busy all night, many of the soldiers were already too tired to lie down on the street and fall asleep, and Kells came to the city lord's palace again, and saw that there were many fewer people outside, and he asked the soldiers about the situation, and it turned out that almost half of them had been sent away.

It was better than Kells had expected, hoping to get everyone away before everything burned down, and almost all the houses in the city had been demolished, and some of the remaining buildings were mostly stone.

After daybreak, when the situation outside the city could finally be seen clearly, Sesti sent someone to ask for Kells. He climbed to the top of the city again, looked out of the city, and almost sat on the ground in fright. I saw that there were more black devil troops outside the city than when he encountered them, and the entire small city was surrounded by the black army.

What is even more frightening is that such a person can stand in the wilderness without making a sound at all, everyone including the horses is extremely silent, only the wind in the wilderness is whirring.

"Your Excellency, see it, if you don't transfer the people, the number of the Black Devils will increase. Sesti said, pointing to the crowd outside the city.

In fact, it goes without saying that Kells also understands this fact, and he sighs: "Fortunately, the people have already moved a lot, and we should have time to transfer all of them according to this degree." ”

At this moment, one of his staff members whispered into Kells's ear and said, "My lord, there are war horses. ”

This whispered reminder suddenly shocked Kells into a cold sweat, and he almost jumped to his feet.

"Damn! how could I forget!" he cried out.

"What's the matter, Lord Kells?" asked Sesti, puzzled.

"War horses! we missed them!" said Kells, anxious.

Sesti's face changed when he heard the war horse, the war horse of the Correa army is an extremely valuable resource, and the war horse can even be said to be the second life of the cavalry, they actually missed these war horses. This is an unforgivable mistake!

Sesti and Kells urgently discussed countermeasures, and now there is no other way but to speed up the teleportation as much as possible, and at the same time have to find more combustible materials, otherwise it will definitely not be enough for everyone to complete the teleportation.

Kells gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Pick up your clothes!" All the soldiers except for their close-fitting clothes have been picked up for me, and all the clothes are gathered together for fuel. ”

Now there is no way to do it, and Sesti also said: "Tell the people to hand over their clothes as well, and those who do not hand over their clothes are not allowed to be sent away, except for intimate clothes." ”

So a stripping operation immediately began, which was probably the first time such a situation had occurred on the Big 6, and soon amid the cursing and crying of the people, large piles of clothes were transported to the city wall, ready to be burned.
