Chapter 138: People in War
Boom! Boom!
In the building at 17 Minsk Street, Jowood District, the hostess Starling Summer and the maids hid in the corner of the room in horror amid the explosions coming from afar, feeling the ground under their feet tremble gently.
Only after the continuous terrifying movements became farther and farther away, Starling straightened up and looked around in an extremely tense manner:
"What the hell happened?"
The two maids shook their heads at the same time, both confused and scared.
Starling left the corner and instinctively wanted to walk out of the room, talk to the neighbors, and figure out what had just happened, but was worried that the accident would come again, so she had to spin in the living room.
After several minutes, she suddenly heard the sound of opening the door. She quickly turned her head and found that it was her husband Luke Summer who was back with the servant.
"Aren't you working?" Starling asked subconsciously.
The burly Luke replied with a serious expression:
“I happened to pass by nearby areas and came back directly.
"Quick, put on your coat, let's go to church now!"
"What happened?" Starling asked the question again.
Luke takes two steps ahead:
"Fosak's airship is bombing Beckland!"
"What, why?" Starling opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe it.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. In short, things have happened and we must go to church immediately!" Luke gave his wife a hug, "Don't worry too much, I saw that those airships didn't come here.
"Okay, OK!" Starling responded in a little panic.
She instinctively worried while wearing the coat brought by the maid:
"What should the kids do?"
"They are in the church school, and there will be someone who will organize them to hide, and we can't get through now." Luke said calmly.
"Okay." Starling made a prayer gesture, hoping that the gods she believed in could provide protection.
The two of them, together with the male servant, quickly left their home gate and walked towards the other end of the street.
When passing by the house No. 58, Starling glanced and whispered:
"I used to laugh at Lawyer Jurgen, saying that he had moved to the south for Mrs. Doris' illness and gave up many opportunities from Beckland. Now, I am a little envious of him..."
Luke then glanced:
"Don't worry too much, it will be fine."
Starling couldn't help asking as she walked forward quickly:
"Luke, are we going to escape from Beckland?"
"No, no!" Luke Summer replied very firmly, "It was just an accident."
Seeing that his wife was obviously puzzled, he added:
"Bacland is the capital of the kingdom and must be the area with the highest defense level. This time, it was just that everyone did not expect that there would be negligence. This will happen. Next time, the Fsaks will not have another chance!
"The Kingdom is the country with the strongest military strength in the North and South Continents. The Fsaks will definitely be taught a lesson and it is impossible to invade Beckland again. After this time, Beckland is the safest place!"
"That's it..." Starling felt that her husband made sense and was willing to believe him.
After the explanation was finished, Luke silently said for a few seconds:
"However, we still have to make some preparations. When the church announces that we can move freely, we will immediately take the children back, buy more food, and try our best to buy as much as possible!"
…………
Beckland Bridge area, within public schools.
Because the distance was too far, Daisy and her classmates did not notice the experience of the North and West, nor did they feel the chaos that spread to the Hillston and Joewood.
However, there were still teachers who came to their classroom and organized them to line up to the nearest church.
This reminded Daisy of the great Bakerland smog in last year, when they were also asked to hide in the church next to the school.
Again, is something similar happening again? The shadow in my heart made Daisy's body tremble slightly, and strong sadness and anger emerged.
When she passed by the door, she couldn't help but turn her head, looked at the responsible teacher, and asked:
“Is it another disaster?”
"Maybe..." The teacher was not sure about the specific situation, only knew how to do it according to the telegram's requirements.
"Is there such a disaster like this every year, even more than once?" Daisy asked in a slightly vague voice, with a bit of innocence.
The teacher looked at her with pity, shook his head and said:
"All difficulties will pass, and God will protect everyone."
Daisy did not waste other people's time, obeyed the order, and followed everyone to the nearest church in a bit.
…………
22 Pestfield Street, North District.
After hearing the explosion, Audrey, who was in the "Ruen Charity Scholarship Fund", heard the explosion and immediately made the dragon scales hidden in her skin and rushed to the window.
Seeing the fleet of airships with the flag of Fsak appearing in the air, and witnessing bombs being led by a hurricane, thrown into the distance, either landing and exploding, or disappearing directly, as if entering the spiritual world, Audrey's heart flashed through the words and missions of the "world" Mr. German Sparrow, and thus a clarification was created:
The war really broke out!
She immediately turned her head and said to the golden retriever Susie, the close maid Anne and others:
"Hurry, hide from St. Samuel's Church!"
Although Audrey didn't know how to deal with the air raid, her education since childhood told her to go to church as soon as possible when she was in danger.
In fact, her instinctive idea was to rush back to Queens immediately to protect her mother, but considering that Anne and other servants and the staff here were ordinary people, and they had no experience and lacked the ability to deal with this crisis, she had to take care of them first and accompany them to St. Samuel's Church.
In order to solve the dangers that may be encountered on the way, Audrey intends to wear the "Hand of Fear" and "Lie" at the same time, distorting the trajectory of the bullet, and manipulating the flames to detonate the bomb in advance.
In the face of ranged attacks, the extraordinary abilities of the "spectator" pathways are indeed difficult to play.
"Secretly" protecting her servants and foundation staff, Audrey successfully entered St. Samuel's Church and saw several bishops and pastors greeting him.
"Miss Audrey, don't worry about the Count, the Countess and Lord Hibert, who are protected by special people. This degree of air strike cannot harm them. Moreover, you also know how big and strong the basement of your house is." A bishop quickly brought Audrey aside and comforted her.
Audrey took off her gloves, nodded, agreed with the bishop's statement, no longer rushing to go home, and asked instead:
"How is the situation now?"
"The Fsaks lost two airships and turned to the West End. Don't worry, all the defense has been awakened and they will not cause any damage in the future." The bishop mentioned a few simple words, leading Audrey and others to the underground area of the church to hide, and the next floor is where the "Night-Watchers" are active.
…………
At 160 Berklund Street, the housekeeper Walter and a group of servants hid in the underground area where they doubled as wine cellars.
This was the order of Dawn Dontes, and the gentleman took his personal servant to find Bishop Elektra.
I don’t know how long it took, Walter and the others heard the knock on the door and confirmed through the hole in the door that the employer was back.
"There is no attack now, but I'd better go to St. Samuel's Church to hide for a while." Klein looked around and said.
"Yes, sir." Walter responded on behalf of the servants and asked, "What after?"
As a qualified steward, he often reads newspapers and understands that the situation itself is tense, and 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 own family.
"Anyway, 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 has no value. Well, there is plenty of 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 started a family immediately showed joy, and swept away the paleness and fear just now, Walter directly expressed his gratitude.
Then, he said carefully:
"The food can be purchased, and in this case, no one will think it is too much.
"Also, there may not be any further attacks near Beckland, but security may be chaotic, and the manor outside the city must be guarded against this."
Klein nodded:
"I have also considered this. I will ask the Macht MP and the military to discuss purchasing a batch of 'scrapped' weapons and bullets. You should practice more.
"Anyway, during this period, Enyuni and I will go back to Beckland to do business depending on the situation. If there is anything that has not been taken into consideration, we will make up for it later."
As for food, Klein did not forbid the butler Walter from buying it. In this way, if there was a famine, he would be able to provide relief.
After discussing the follow-up, everyone in the Dawn Dontes mansion simply packed their luggage, took valuables, followed the employer into St. Samuel's Church and came underground.
Klein saw Audrey walking among the crowd and comforting their emotions at first sight, smiled slightly, and nodded at the noble lady.
After seeing Dawn Dontes, Audrey smiled back and confirmed from the other party's attitude that nothing big happened.
…………
Forth and Hug moved again, but are still on the edge of the East Side and closer to the Beckland Bridge area.
After waking up naturally, Fors rubbed his hair and walked out of the bedroom, planning to prepare lunch.
After scanning her eyes, she saw Xiu, who had already left the house, sitting on a chair, quickly flipping through the newspaper.
"What's wrong?" Fors asked in a daze.
Hugh frowned and said:
"The Fsaks attacked the North and West squads..."
"What?" Fors blurted out first, and then remembered the corresponding things discussed at the Tarot Conference.
Just then, the voice of a newspaper boy came from outside:
"Extra! Extra! The Kingdom declares war on Fsak!"
"Extra! Extra! The Kingdom declares war on Fsak!"
Chapter completed!
