Chapter 1,497 Aftermath

"Fan, didn't you say you are not allowed to apologize?"

Arturia waved her flawless white jade index finger in front of me, as if she had no idea how cute and feminine this action was. ""

"We are husband and wife. Isn't it natural for a wife to worry about her husband?"

"Yes...yes, this...ahem, by the way, how is the situation now?"

In front of everyone, I almost put on my cloak and hat and pulled it down to cover my face. I really don’t know what to say to Artoria. Please take a look at the atmosphere. In front of so many people... Look at the people behind you.

Caroline blushed.

While I felt warm in my heart, I also endured countless glares filled with blood and tears. I'm sorry, everyone, I really didn't mean to show off my feelings for Her Majesty the Queen, who you admire, in front of you.

"As you can see, I can only say that there were no casualties, which is a great blessing among misfortunes." As soon as she mentioned the business, Artoria's expression suddenly became solemn, she looked around and sighed softly.

Although we have been working hard to restore it in the past few days, there is still a lot of work to be done. It is not an easy task to completely restore the town of Lalula.

"Besides the small town of Lalula, are there any other places affected?" I asked as I walked and looked.

"There are a total of twenty-three small towns and thirty-one villages affected." Arturia gave me shocking statistics.

"What are the casualties?" I asked quickly and worriedly.

At that time, I was only worried about whether the small town of Lalula would be affected by Elias's escape from the seal, but I did not expect that the battle would be so fierce and the impact would be so large, and other small towns were not included in the calculation.

"Don't worry, Amrudina has ordered evacuation orders for all towns within a hundred miles."

Seeing my worried look, Artoria seemed a little happy. Finally, she was no longer frowning slightly because she was worried about my physical condition like before.

Those bright green and majestic pupils seemed to reveal the joy of "being able to worry so much about my people of the elves, Fan indeed has the ambition to become an excellent king".

This... as long as you are a normal person, you will be concerned and worried, after all, so many lives are involved. ("")

Seeing Artoria's idea of ​​loving Wujiwu, I scratched my head and smiled bitterly.

"Can all the small towns with a radius of hundreds of miles... be evacuated in time?" After thinking about it, I was still a little worried.

"Generally speaking, this is impossible, especially in villages without teleportation arrays." Arturia seemed to be telling something bad, but her expression was extremely calm and not worried at all. This made me

The hanging heart was relieved again.

"That's why I just said [evacuate], not evacuate."

"What on earth is going on?" Seeing that even Artoria was asking a riddle, I couldn't help but feel helpless.

Who, exactly who, stood up for this Druid? Who taught the upright and unsmiling king to bad things?

"For small towns that have the conditions for teleportation, it is of course best to evacuate them in time. As for the villages that do not have the conditions for evacuation, the first principle is to save everyone's lives, and different protection work is carried out according to the geographical conditions." Artoria did not.

Continuing to whet my appetite, he spoke slowly in a pleasant and clear voice.

"For example, dig a deep enough hole for everyone to hide in. Compared with the small town of Lalula, other places are not affected much by the fighting, and the number of people in a village is not very large. There are two or three kings.

The members of the escort team will soon be able to create a cave that can protect everyone."

"So that's it, it's indeed a good idea."

I kept nodding. Indeed, if they are members of the Royal City Guards, they have at least the strength of the First World Harrogas level, so it is not difficult to achieve this level.

It's just that it's not difficult to dig a huge cave that can accommodate thousands of people, but it's a bit more difficult to keep it from collapsing during the shock of fighting.

As if she could see what I was thinking, Arturia smiled and added: "This is all the vision of Arlandland. Starting a long time ago, all regular warriors of our elven clan must accept it."

There is a certain amount of training in protecting villages and towns, and one of them is digging holes for shelter.”

"As expected of Grandma Yalandan. It seems that after I return, I will have to give Grandma Akara some advice." Regarding Yalandan's true knowledge and foresight, I have no other thoughts except a thumbs up.

"The environment of the Alliance is different from that of our elves, so the same method may not necessarily be applicable. I think Akara has made relevant preparations for Xian Ming and Ed."

Arturia glanced at me, as if to say, Fan, you really don’t know anything. (《》)

"Yes...really? That's it, I'll just say..."

I kept giggling. This is the sorrow of the handyman elder. Of course, even if Akara discussed this kind of thing with me, it would be useless. If one day I really have to become the king of the world, then the only

The advantage that can be remembered for generations to come is probably "Although you are not a talent yourself, you make good use of your talent."

"Thanks to Amrudina, otherwise, I might have become a sinner for the ages." As they walked, Arturia suddenly sighed like this.

I cast a puzzled look.

"At the beginning, I was only thinking about the town of Lalula in front of me and didn't think about anything else. It was Amrudina's order to evacuate towns and villages within a hundred miles."

I recalled that, indeed, when Artoria and I followed little King Arthur, we just ordered everyone to evacuate the people of Lalula Town and the soldiers here.

"There was such a fatal negligence. If it weren't for Amrudina, how many elves would have been affected by this battle. It's really unimaginable. It seems that I am far from qualified to be a qualified king.

.”

"There's no need to blame yourself too much. Who can say that their whole life is perfect and that they didn't make any mistakes? Even Grandma Yalandlan didn't do it in order to practice prophecy...ahem."

I almost blurted out, revealing the dark history that Yalandlan told me about her study of prophecy, but after thinking about it, I stopped.

"In short, isn't everyone already in peace? If you keep blaming yourself for this, it's not like your style. If you want to become an excellent king, shouldn't you learn a lesson and take a warning at this time?

Isn’t it right to push yourself harder?”

"What Fan said is right." Artoria nodded vigorously. After a moment of silence, she suddenly seemed to have brought up a completely unrelated topic.

"As a king, even if you do something wrong, no one will stand up to blame and punish you. Because of this, you must be more cautious about every decision and every mistake you make. However, people understand the least, and the most

What you can't see may often be you. To be honest, I have been worried about this. I am afraid that one day I will make a mistake, but I can't see it and embark on the wrong path." He sighed from the heart,

Arturia turned her head and faced me, showing a beautiful smile.

"So, I am very lucky to have Grandma Yalandlan and Fan beside me."

"I'm very happy that you can say this, but also very ashamed. Compared to you, the excellent Artoria, I am a person who often makes reckless mistakes, so when the time comes, please be a beacon and point the way for me.

"

"Of course, even if Fan doesn't say it, I will do it without authorization. Even if one day Fan hates it, I will still do it." Artoria held my hands with slight force and cast a very serious look.

"Because there is only one person in this world that I cannot rest assured and want to take care of forever."

Oh oh oh, Artoria, what happened to you today? Are you trying to kill my heart by always making such bold and heart-warming speeches?

Looking at Arturia's sincere eyes and her beautiful and majestic delicate face, I almost couldn't help but feel the touch and love in my heart, and kissed me. At least I remembered where we were standing, and we were still looking at others.

So I couldn't bear to do it.

I looked back at Caroline, and I saw that she had already stood far away. She was indeed Artoria's maid and companion for many years.

"Then, please accompany me all the way in the future of life, okay? Artoria."

"Of course, so is Fan, but you have to hold my hand tightly and don't let me deviate from the path, okay?"

"certainly."

Our eyes intertwined with each other, and our hands held each other tightly.

This... what is going on? Why do these words and this atmosphere feel more and more like a wedding night?

Even I was a little shy. I couldn't help but touch my nose, thinking about what to say next.

Right... right, I came here just to see the situation in Lalula Town and other towns?

I patted my forehead secretly and suddenly remembered how I had completely forgotten the original purpose.

"Cough...cough cough, Artoria, can you tell me specifically about the damage?" I asked after coughing a few times.

"Yes... yes, of course it's no problem." Artoria seemed to be facing the same shy dilemma as me. When she heard the topic unfold, she nodded quickly and responded.

"As Fan can see, among the twenty-three small towns and thirty-one villages that were damaged, the small town of Lalula in front of us, which is close to the battlefield, was the most affected and was almost completely destroyed. We must start from scratch.

Replan the construction." After a pause, Artoria continued.

"Among the other twenty-three small towns, six towns were also severely damaged. The most basic structure of the town was destroyed, and the amount of repair work was huge. Eleven towns were moderately damaged, but the structure

It is still there, and the repairs should be completed within two or three months. The rest of the town is slightly damaged. Only a small part of the collapsed walls and houses need to be cleaned and rebuilt, the roads repaired, and of course, the damaged defensive magic circle.

, it will take about half a month to complete all this, and the other thirty-one villages..."

Arturia explained the situation to me in great detail. She even named the fifty or sixty small towns and villages one by one without any pause. It was obvious that in these days, she had almost all of them.

She has devoted all her energy to border reconstruction. According to Maid Huang Duanzi, she has not neglected some important elven affairs. She has to turn on a night light to deal with them every night when she goes back, and only sleeps for less than an hour on average every day.

He also said that I don’t take good care of myself, aren’t you the same?

After knowing all this, my mission when I came to the town of Lalula, in addition to understanding the situation, was to let Artoria go back and have a good rest. Although she had been without sleep for ten consecutive days and nights.

The "glorious deeds" of sleeping in handling affairs, but since I am here, I will never allow this to happen again.

"How are those residents doing now?" After learning more about the situation, I continued to ask.

"We will temporarily arrange to stay in a nearby town. Depending on the repair situation of the town, we may have to stay there for a while."

"As long as everything is safe and sound, you can take your time with everything else." I sighed with relief.

"After something like this, are they still willing to return to their original homes and continue living at the border?"

"This aspect is still under investigation." Perhaps seeing that I was as detailed as I could think of, Artoria smiled approvingly.

"However, judging from the current survey results, the vast majority of small town residents are still willing to go back if their homes can be rebuilt. Compared with small towns, the situation in villages may be more special. Many village residents said they would

Consider taking this opportunity to move to a nearby town, or merge several villages to form a new town. After all, villages without the protection of magic circles are still too fragile. This is why Yaland and I

A situation that Grandma Lan is happy to see."

"It would be best to let them know that their lives are important." I couldn't help laughing.

The elves advocate freedom. I don’t know how many times I have said this. Because of this, they do not like to be restrained by nature, so they will build villages that seriously lack security protection in places like the border. The emergence of such villages can be

It really gave Artoria and even Arlanda a headache.

Now, through this unforeseen disaster, they have truly realized the fragility of the border villages and the safety of the town. If even the defensive magic circle cannot protect them, at least the town still has a teleportation circle to escape people.

This can be considered an unexpected gain.
