Chapter 373 Disaster Strikes

The morning in the City of Maple Flowers is clean and cold. After experiencing a devastating war, although the country lost everything completely, the lives of the remaining people unexpectedly improved. All the deaths that accompanied the five million hungry people in the war a week ago were resolved, and even Joni Zondas, who had been oppressing everyone, ushered in annihilation.

Although when it comes to the subjugation of the country, it is inevitable that some people will be depressed and even cry bitterly, but after the final meeting of the palace announced the decision of "merging the Maple Leaf Kingdom into the Moby Wise Kingdom", everyone is still looking forward to a new life , especially according to the rumors, the Moby Wise Kingdom is still a country with a wise monarch and a very enlightened political and financial situation. This good reputation, which may be meaningless in normal times, has reduced the worries of many people in the Maple Leaf Kingdom at this time.

"Although I feel ashamed to my ancestors after being merged into the Moby Wise Kingdom...But, since Her Majesty the Queen is willing to marry the prince of the other party, I believe that the two countries must be very friendly, and we "survivors" should be able to do so." Get a good deal."

When the news that Livaqi was about to marry the prince of the other party came out, most of the people and the little nobles thought so. In some ways, this is also the value of political marriage—maybe in a high position He knows all the twists and turns, but those at the bottom take solace in it.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere of "renewing the past and reforming the new" that the nobles who are still wrangling over the distribution of benefits, and the workers who take the pickaxe to the foot of the "Sleeping Dragon" volcano to mine ore in the early morning are still in a happy mood , For example, Wood, who was one of the absenteeism members, hummed a ditty on the road.

"Hey, Wood, have you heard? The latest news - the Moby Wise Kingdom is willing to reduce the tax on raw red stone ore by 30%"?

Walking on the road, one of Wood's good coworkers trotted over to share his latest news happily.

"Really, that would be great".

After hearing what the worker said, Wood was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile and said:

"I knew that the Moby Wise Kingdom is a very good country. Thanks to our Queen, although the Maple Leaf Kingdom has become history, our life is still guaranteed."

"Yes yes yes".

After hearing Wood's emotion, the dark-faced worker also gritted his teeth and expressed his approval:

"However, although the tax has been reduced, if I want to earn silver coins, I still need to mine more. If I can dig out three horse-drawn red diamonds before the next cold winter... I will have the capital to propose to Miss Denis "!"

"Then you have to work hard. Red Jasmine is the most valuable raw ore and the most difficult to dig. Generally, it can only be dug out from very hard stone leaf rock. If you want to get the approval of Deni's father, you have to work hard. get ready"!

Seeing his friend's happy face, Wood, who is still single, couldn't help but pour some cold water on this proud guy.

The worker who was awakened from his dream shook his hammer, looked at his not-so-strong arms, and finally looked at the sky helplessly:

"Well, to make that sharp-eyed stubborn old man look good, maybe I have to dig out a full four-horse-drawn raw ore... Really, it would be great if the sky could drop raw red-jawed stone... ..."

"Stop joking, how can there be ore falling from the sky, you should think about it, it's a rare sunny day today, we have to start working quickly..."

For the whims of the workers, Wood could only smile helplessly. Seeing that the mine at the foot of the volcano was close in sight, Wood had already begun to enter the "working state".

However, just as he was about to finish speaking, a fiery breath suddenly rushed towards his face.

"boom"! !

Before Wood could react, a huge roar exploded in the worker's ear, and the shock wave of the strong wind splashed a lot of dust and dirt on Wood's body.

And... in the mud that was spilled somewhere, there was a lingering smell of blood and sticky red that Wood couldn't ignore.

When Wood, who was completely stunned, turned his head slowly, he was extremely shocked to see that a piece of red ore as high as two people was smashed into the ground several centimeters deep at the position where his friend was standing just now. Underneath, there is only a puddle of blood mixed with mud and a crushed iron hoe to prove some horrible facts. Coincidentally, if these ores are smashed, they should be able to fill four carriages......

"This this…………"

Wood, who was completely frightened, fell to the ground, his head was blank, and he could only look at the sky subconsciously.

The next moment, Wood saw... that terrifying scene that seemed to be the end of the world!

In the blue sky, a large fiery red smoke cloud centered on the Sleeping Dragon Volcano spread rapidly. In less than a few seconds, the sky that Wood could see was all dyed red , Immediately afterwards, countless meteorites fell like raindrops from the sky that started to burn, and the precious raw ore that the workers usually dream of became the death god at this time. Wood saw it with his own eyes, not far from him , Three or four workers who shouted for help were smashed to pieces by a burning meteorite!

At this moment, the cleanliness of the Maple City of Flowers was swept away in an instant, large pieces of meteorites easily smashed houses and shops, and each boulder fell to the ground could set off a terrible panic on a street. It shook, and the fire element carried by those finely broken stones easily ignited the wooden buildings in the city. Within a few minutes, the huge city of maple flowers was plunged into a fiery sea of ​​flames.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please evacuate as soon as possible, the Sleeping Dragon Volcano has erupted, and the old man's house has a fairly deep basement, so maybe he can survive this disaster..."

In the already empty palace, the only remaining old count, Kakarote, worriedly "advised" Livaqi loudly, but the expression of "Her Majesty the Queen" he faced did not change at all.

"Evacuate? Hide in the cellar like those nobles who ran away? We are at the foot of the city of maple flowers, why can't you face death calmly?"

A cold and indifferent voice spewed out from Livaqi's mouth. Although the disaster was imminent and the terrifying roars became more and more intensive, Livaqi's eyes were only on a small handful of ashes in her white hands from the beginning to the end. among.

"Survive? What's the point? Just to marry that prince you've never seen before as a queen?"

Regarding Livaqi's calm words, the old count could only bow his head silently.

Without even looking at the old count beside her, Livaqi silently lowered her head, and on her face that she hadn't smiled for a long time, an innocent smile flashed away.

A gust of scorching breeze blows, and the ashes in Livaqi's palm are gently blown away

"Sure enough, it's different from the novel, the princess of a subjugated country can't find a hero to rely on"...

In these last moments, no one heard the little princess muttering to herself except Livaqi herself.

In the next second, a falling rock the size of a house hit the temporary palace as if erasing a mark. In the light of dawn, the flames that exploded were as dazzling as blood...
