Chapter 181: Evening Beach
Yubere's battle is over.
The once prosperous city has turned into ruins, with collapsed walls, charred masonry, rigid corpses, dark red and dried blood everywhere.
A soldier with a white cloth on his arm searched and rescued in the dilapidated city, looking for possible surviving figures, and at the same time moved the dead bodies to a centralized ignition to avoid plague and decay.
The smell of scorching permeated the air, and the silver-haired figure walking in it covered his mouth and nose. Wearing a silver-rimmed hooded robe that obscures his face and body, Loren Hill walked the streets full of dust and blood, with cracked stone bricks and debris beneath his feet.
Behind her were several high priests of the church and Crancia's entourage.
"How is the search and rescue of the residents in the city going?" She looked at a corpse lying in a corner not far away, and gradually stopped.
"His Royal Highness Roland Hill, please rest assured that with the help of many necromancers in the church, we can easily find those living beings with the help of the soul's perception, and now they have almost finished the investigation of the entire city. ." This high priest has beautiful hair like the sunset, and his face is extraordinarily beautiful. He is an old acquaintance of Roland Hill, Archbishop Zhu Ya.
Subsequently, a Crancia military officer also reported the general statistics.
"The main city of Yubelei and surrounding villages originally had about 1.2 million people, and it was the largest city in Verga in the past. When our army attacked the city last year, many wealthy residents began to transfer their property and members, and this year we Before the attack again, there were less than 900,000 residents in the city."
"In addition, the bombing in the early stage of the war greatly deterred the residents in the city, causing them to flee in large numbers. This time, many ordinary people also started to act. By the time we officially attacked the city, there were less than 500,000 residents in the city."
"Except for some residents who disappeared during the siege and fled, about 100,000 people unfortunately died during the war."
"Many of them died from falling airships, burning, suffocating smoke, collapsed houses, artillery fire, bullets, magic, and other aftermath. Many were also caused by crimes, stampedes, crowding, etc. in the chaos."
The official spoke carefully, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. As a follower of Lord Sage, he knew very well how this young girl hated this kind of scene. But that's what war is, it's not a dinner party, it's an act of downright violence.
Fortunately, Lorraine Hill is not the kind of pure and innocent person, she knows that all this is impossible, but the emotion will not dissipate because of rational cognition, it still emerges in her heart, and finally turns into a sigh.
"After cleaning up the battlefield and the city, I have to trouble everyone in the church to carry out follow-up work such as disinfection and treatment."
"This is the responsibility of our church." The priests at the back replied, then looked up at the slender girl. Even after hearing many rumors, they were still amazed at the pure aura on this sage, which was so similar to the angels of the upper realm.
After inspecting the city, Roland Hill also returned to the camp outside the city.
In the tall tent, Roland Hill and a few people sat around the central round table and talked briefly.
"Thank you for the support of the Young Moon Council. I don't know how the casualties are on your side. Do you need rescue?" Roland Hill turned his eyes to Tug, the rising star in the war.
"Thank you Lord Sage Roland Hill for your concern." Tuger thanked him first, and then slowly talked about yesterday's battle.
At that time, there were about 10 magic masters in Yubelei City, and 12 were dispatched from the Young Moon Council. In the middle of the war, the Young Moon Council lost 4, and the Frost Union lost 3, and there In the swooping of the field union, the Hinamatsuki Council lost 2 more, and in the end only 6 survived.
"On the other side of the Frost and Frost Union, of its 10 magic masters, only 2 escaped the city and left alive." He said so.
About 14 Transcendent Sequence Eights from both sides died in the city of Yubere. These people can be said to be the pillars of the dual mage, each of them is the leader of one side's field, the essence of the essence. And their passing also means that many technologies and fields will fall into temporary stagnation or regression.
After expressing their thanks again, the representatives of several parties discussed the follow-up plan and the schedule before leaving the meeting.
Returning to the place where he lived, this is a tall blue tent with golden lace and a little pattern on the corners, and the style is also imitating the house where the Red Thorn Palace lives.
Roland Hill opened the curtain and heard a happy voice.
"Lorraine is back."
Keti got up from the sofa in the tent hall and rubbed his eyes, as if he had been waiting for Loren Hill for a long time.
"Keti is hungry." The flame witch looked at Roland Hill a little bit, as if to say, take me to eat something delicious.
Even though the fight was hot outside and the scene was chaotic and intense last night, the witch still slept soundly and didn't care at all. It seemed that in her eyes, those were just petty troubles, not worthy of attention, so I'd better listen to Lorraine. It's the most important thing to tell you to sleep well.
"Got it, Keti." Roland Hill hugged the approaching girl, and then the two left the tent and walked towards the beach outside the camp.
The beach that used to be crowded with tourists is now extremely quiet, and without the hustle and bustle of the past, the sea slowly beats the fine white sand, bringing a little foam, and then falls back into the sea.
"Can Keti remember the past?"
Lorraine found a rock by the sea and sat on it back to back with Keti, looking at the sea in the distance, looking at the sea in the sun
Sparkling sunset red sea.
"Can't remember." Keti shook his head behind him.
"Why was Katie called Keti in the first place, did Chris tell you?"
Roland Hill recalled the memory in the distant dust, which was once an experimental product of the 'primordial heart' faction. The four primordial pillars, among them, Kroyati, which represents the flame, has a very similar pronunciation to Keti. It seems that. is its abbreviation. This also made her have to guess whether Keti's origin was the same as her own.
"Chris didn't say this, she just said that since it's a new beginning, don't continue to carry the things of the past." Keti said this, and her back conveyed a slightly warm feeling to Roland Hill.
"Is that so..."
Roland Hill looked up at the faintly emerging stars in the sky, and closed his eyes slightly, feeling the slight sea breeze blowing across his skin.
"The past is irresistible, only the present is so real and precious." She sighed softly, self-enlightening.
After a few minutes, Roland Hill opened his eyes again, looked at the beach and the sea not far away, and jumped off the stone gently.
"Keti, let's go catch crabs," she said suddenly.
"Crab, what is that? Is it delicious?" Keti turned around and looked at Loren Hill curiously, with a sudden expectation in his eyes.
"I don't know if it's good or not, but it's definitely fun."
Loren Hill took Keti's hand and came to the edge of the beach, watching the tide below continue to rise and fall.
"Let's take off our shoes first to avoid getting wet."
Roland Hill turned around and said so to Keti, and then the two took off their shoes, revealing their clean feet.
After putting the shoes into the ring, Lorraine Hill carried her skirt and walked with Keti in the fine sand holding hands. Occasionally, the sea water submerged her ankles, bringing a cool feeling.
"Where are the crabs, Lorraine." Keti asked the silver-haired girl in front of her curiously, and the two stepped on shallow footprints on the beach.
"right here."
Holding the skirt, he took a few steps forward, and Roland Hill stopped and squatted down slowly.
"Ketti light a light."
"OK."
Three orange-sized, chubby fireballs slowly revolved around the two of them, emitting a small amount of light.
After living with Roland Hill for a long time, Keti gradually understood that Roland usually said how much flame was needed to light a lamp, instead of creating a seemingly small, but burning lake like the beginning. flame.
Loren Hill squatted on the beach, tucked his skirt around his waist, then freed up his hands and slowly opened the sand below, and Keti walked over slowly, placing a chubby little fireball on the two of them. In between, illuminate the gradually dim sand.
As the grains of sand separated, a cyan crab was also revealed, its head was about the size of a palm, the color of the abdomen was very white, and the edges were light blue.
As if awakened by the sudden fire, the crab held up two pincers and slowly crawled up, and the wet sand grains remaining on its body also slid off part of it.
"This is the crab."
Roland Hill stretched out his fingers, touched the crab carefully, watched, and retracted his hand when it tried to clamp itself.
Looking at this crab walking across the shoal, ready to escape, Roland Hill suddenly remembered an interesting thing.
"Keti, do you know that many people will subconsciously think that crabs are all red, and the crabs in various paintings and introductions are mostly red."
"But in fact only the cooked crabs are red, the live ones are blue-black."
It's a pity that Keti didn't care about such little knowledge at the moment. She also began to learn Loren to touch this guy with fangs and claws, and then stretched out his hand to stop the guy who was running away.
"pain."
The crab's claws caught Keti's fingers, and the latter tried to shake it off, but the crab refused to let go of the claws.
"Cuckoo~"
Seeing the splash of water droplets and Keti's frantic appearance, Roland Hill couldn't help laughing, and then helped Keti hold down the crab and put it back into the water, only to see the crab loosen its claws.
Fortunately, this crab is not big. As a witch, Keti's physical fitness is not bad.
After all, in the eyes of others who have never been in contact with it, the crab is so small, and the strength should not be large, how can it be so tightly clamped.
"Okay, don't worry."
Roland Hill touched Keti's finger, checked it carefully, and then used his healing ability to put it down after a while, and then touched Keti's warm hair, comforting softly.
"Let's try grilled crab tonight."
"Mmmm." Keti quickly forgot the pain, and looked forward to Roland's grilled crabs for her.
I don't know if it will be better than mushroom soup, she thought as she followed behind Roland Hill.
Facing the evening glow and the comfortable sea breeze, the two slowly walked on the beach.
