Chapter 138 People in War

Boom! Boom!

In the building at No. 17 Minsk Street, Jorwood District, the hostess Starling Summer and the maids hid in the corner of the room in horror amidst the sound of explosions in the distance, feeling the ground beneath their feet. All trembling slightly.

It wasn't until the continuous terrifying movement got farther and farther away that Starling straightened her body and glanced left and right nervously:

"What happened?"

The two maids shook their heads at the same time, both dazed and frightened.

Starling left the corner, instinctively wanted to get out of the room, talk to the neighbors, and figure out what happened just now, but she was worried that the accident would strike again, so she had to circle around in the living room.

After a few minutes, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and quickly turned her head to look, only to find that her husband, Luke Summer, had returned with the servant.

"Aren't you working?" Starling asked subconsciously.

The burly Luke replied with a serious expression:

"Just passed by nearby, and came back directly.

"Quick, put on your coat, we're going to church now!"

"What happened, what happened?" Starling asked the question again.

Luke took two steps forward:

"Fusac's airship is bombing Backlund!"

"Why, how could it be?" Starling opened her eyes wide, unable to believe it.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. In short, things have happened, we must go to church immediately!" Luke gave his wife a hug, "Don't worry too much, I don't think those airships are coming this way.

"Okay, okay!" Starling still responded a little flustered.

While wearing the coat brought by the maid, she instinctively worried:

"What about the children?"

"They are in a church school, and someone will organize them to hide. We can't catch up now." Luke said quite calmly.

"Okay." Starling made a prayer gesture, hoping that the gods she believed in would provide protection.

The two of them, together with the servant and maid, quickly left the gate of their house and walked towards the other end of the street.

When passing by the house at No. 58, Starling glanced at it and whispered:

"I laughed at Lawyer Jurgen before, saying that he actually moved to the south because of Mrs. Doris's illness, and gave up a lot of opportunities in Backlund. Now, I'm a little envious of him..."

Luke took a look and said:

"Don't worry too much, you'll be fine."

Starling walked forward quickly, and couldn't help asking:

"Luke,

Are we going to escape Backlund? "

"No, no need!" Luke Summer replied very firmly, "This was just an accident."

Seeing that his wife was obviously puzzled, he added:

"Backlund is the capital of the kingdom, so it must be the area with the highest defense level. This time, it's just that everyone didn't expect it and there was negligence. This is what happened. Next time, the Feysacs won't have another chance!

"The Kingdom is the country with the strongest military strength in the North and South Continents. The Feysacs will definitely be taught a lesson. It is impossible to invade Backlund again. After this time, Backlund will be the safest place!"

"That's it..." Starling felt that what her husband said made sense, and she was willing to believe him.

After the explanation, Luke was silent for a few seconds and said:

"However, we still have to make some preparations. When the church announces that we can move freely, we will immediately pick up the children and buy more food, as much as we can!"

Backlund Bridge area, inside the public school.

Due to the distance, Daisy and her classmates did not notice what happened in the North and West districts, nor did they feel the chaos spreading to Hillston and Jowood districts.

However, some teachers still came to their classrooms and organized them to line up to the nearest church.

This reminded Daisy of the great smog in Backlund last year. At that time, they were also required to hide in the church next to the school.

Again, did something similar happen again... The shadow in her heart made Daisy's body tremble slightly, and strong sadness and anger emerged.

When she passed the door, she couldn't help turning her head, looked at the teacher in charge, and asked:

"Another disaster?"

"Maybe..." The teacher didn't know the specific situation, but only knew to follow the telegram's request.

"Is there such a disaster every year, or even more than once?" Daisy asked in a slightly erratic voice, with a bit of innocence.

The teacher gave her a sympathetic look, shook his head and said:

"All difficulties will pass, and God will bless everyone."

Daisy didn't waste other people's time, obeyed the order, and followed the crowd to the nearest church with some numbness.

…………

North End, 22 Pacefield Street.

After hearing the explosion, Audrey who was in the "Luen Charity and Student Fund" immediately covered her skin with dragon scales, and then rushed to the window.

Seeing the formation of airships with the Feysac flag appearing in the air, witnessing bombs being deflected by the hurricane, thrown into the distance, or exploding on the ground, or disappearing directly, it seems to have entered the spirit world, Audrey The words of Mr. "The World" Gehrman Sparrow and the task of the Psychological Alchemists flashed through his mind, and a clear realization came from this:

The war really broke out!

She turned her head immediately, and said to Susie, the golden retriever dog, and Anne, the personal maid:

"Quick, hide in St. Samuel's Church!"

Although Audrey didn't know how to deal with air raids, the education she received since childhood told her to go to church as soon as possible in case of danger.

In fact, her instinct was to rush back to Queens immediately to protect her mother, but considering that Annie and other servants and the staff here are ordinary people with neither experience nor ability to deal with such a crisis, she had no choice but to go first Take care of them and accompany them to St. Samuel's Church.

In order to solve the dangers that may be encountered on the way, Audrey plans to wear the "Hand of Fear" and "Lie" at the same time. On the one hand, it can distort the trajectory of the bullet, and on the other hand, it can manipulate the flame to detonate the bomb in advance.

——In the face of long-range attacks, it is indeed difficult for the extraordinary ability of the "spectator" path to play a role.

"Secretly" protecting her own servants and Foundation staff, Audrey successfully entered St. Samuel's Church, and saw several bishops and priests coming up to her.

"Miss Audrey, don't worry about the Earl, Countess, and Lord Hibbert. They all have special people to protect them. An air raid of this level can't hurt them. Moreover, you also know how big your basement is. , How solid." A bishop quickly took Audrey aside to express his relief.

Audrey took off the tulle gloves, nodded, and agreed with the bishop's statement, no longer in a hurry to go home, but instead asked:

"How is the situation now?"

"The Feysacs lost two airships and transferred to the West Region. Don't worry, all the defense forces have been awakened, and they won't cause any more damage." The bishop simply mentioned a few words, citing Follow Audrey and others to the underground area of ​​the church to hide, and the next floor is where the "Nighthawks" are active.

…………

At 160 Boklund Street, the butler Walter and a group of servants hid in the underground area that doubles as a wine cellar.

This was Dwayne Dantès' order, and this gentleman took his personal servant to find Bishop Elektra.

After an unknown amount of time, Walter and the others heard a knock on the door, and confirmed through the hole in the door that the employer had returned.

"There are no attacks now, but let's hide in St. Samuel's Church for a while." Klein looked around.

"Yes, sir." Walter responded on behalf of the servants, and then asked, "After that?"

As a qualified housekeeper, he often reads the newspaper and understands that the situation itself is tense. It is not difficult to guess that a certain degree of war will break out after the bombing.

Klein pondered for a moment and said:

"When the church confirms the situation, we will go to Meige Manor, and you can bring your family with you.

"No matter what, the capital of the kingdom must be a relatively safe place, and the manor on the edge of the capital will not be the target of air strikes. It is not of that value. Well, there is sufficient food and a lot of wine in the Meige Manor. Even if the war lasts For a long time, we don't have to worry about starving to death."

Hearing the employer's words, the servants who had already married immediately showed joy on their faces, sweeping away the paleness and panic just now, and Walter directly expressed his gratitude.

Then, he thought about it and said:

"Food can be purchased a little more, in which case no one ever thinks it's too much.

"Also, there may be no more attacks near Backlund, but the law and order may be chaotic, and the manor outside the city must guard against this."

Klein nodded:

"I have also considered this point. I will talk to Congressman Macht and the military to discuss the purchase of a batch of 'scrap' weapons and bullets. You need to practice more.

"In short, during this period of time, Enuni and I will go back to Backlund to handle matters according to the situation. If there is anything we haven't considered, we will make up for it later."

As for food, Klein didn't forbid the housekeeper Walter to buy it, so that if there is a famine, he will be able to provide relief.

After discussing the follow-up, the owner of Dawn Dantès' mansion simply packed up their luggage, took their valuables, followed their employer into the Church of Saint-Samuel, and went underground.

Klein saw Audrey walking among the crowd and comforting their emotions at a glance. He smiled slightly and nodded to the noble lady.

After seeing Dwayne Dantès, Audrey smiled back, confirming from the attitude of the other party that nothing serious happened.

…………

Forsi and Xio moved again, but they were still on the edge of the Eastern District, and closer to the Backlund Bridge area.

After sleeping until she woke up naturally, Forsi rubbed her hair, walked out of the bedroom, and planned to prepare lunch.

With a glance, she saw that Xio who had already left the house was sitting on a chair, quickly flipping through the newspaper.

"What's wrong?" Forsi asked blankly.

Xio frowned and said:

"The Feysacs attacked the North and West districts..."

"What?" Forsi blurted out first, and immediately remembered the corresponding matter discussed in the Tarot meeting.

At this moment, the newsboy's voice came from outside:

"Extra! Extra! The kingdom declares war on Feysac!"

"Extra! Extra! The kingdom declares war on Feysac!"
