Chapter 70 Prayer in the Snow
"The west of the city is a slum, which was originally a ruined city. We can bear the losses even if there is any loss. Send a few gentlemen to inform them immediately and ask everyone to evacuate temporarily. Be sure to clear the place before night falls."
In the office of the municipal government, the mayor of Koumur City listened to the assistant's report and after a little thought, he determined a city area as the location to destroy the dragon, and then said,
"What kind of help do they need, cooperate as much as possible. We must never let the dragon continue to destroy Komuer City!"
Although he had some grudges about the failure of the Silver Moon Sect to kill the giant dragon on the spot, seeing the dragon flapping its wings and leaving even the mayor kicked a decorative vase on the spot, the Koumur Municipal Government still had to pinch his nose and cooperate with the Silver Moon Sect with all his strength.
There is no way, who has made the only Silver Moon Sect in the city now have enough personnel to deal with the dragon? The support team of the imperial government is impossible to arrive in a short period of time, so they can only hope for them to solve the dragon.
Under the premise that the government issued a notice and cooperated with full force, this dragon-slaying operation, which had no cover from the beginning, began like this.
For the citizens of Koumur City, this is of course a good thing. After all, no one wants to worry all day long whether a giant dragon suddenly flies over their heads, and then there is a wave of unscrupulous destruction. Money loss is one thing, and one's life is the most important thing.
The situation inside the Komuer Railway Station has long been taken by some news agencies that want to gain attention and printed it in newspapers and distributed it to the entire city. The danger of this giant dragon is naturally known to the whole city.
But it is not that simple for the people in the west of the city.
It’s right for them to be a slum, but this is the problem. Should the slums be destroyed?
The government's notice clearly stated that for the safety of the entire city of Komuer, I hope that the residents in the west of the city can temporarily leave their residence, because this place is about to become a battlefield for fighting the dragon...
Isn't this bullying?
Because they have no money, they are treated as victims?
If the government is willing to spend money to help them renovate the house in the future, of course, it is fine, but in the entire announcement, the Komuer government did not mention this matter, just asked them to leave as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be borne by themselves!
After all, compared with the people in other urban areas, these people in slums are inevitably at a lower level in the government's view.
Of course, this does not mean that the government does not treat them as human beings. In fact, if it were normal, the Komuer government would not be willing to pay a repair fee as compensation. However, the current situation is that there are dozens of disaster-stricken places in the entire Komuer city, and even several places with large fires are still extinguishing the fire.
There are a large number of public facilities in these damaged areas, including streets, street lights, flower beds along the street, and green plants... This is all money!
Komuer is not the industrial city of Cortana. Its economic level can only be said to be of medium level. Just taking out this repair cost has made them very difficult, so they can't take care of the houses of these people.
Not to mention that the government is now focused on disaster relief.
In this case, the curse and resentment of the people in the slums naturally appeared.
Donald and his group stood by the street, watching a large number of people moving from the block ahead with their families.
"I've inquired that the Komuer government wants to treat the western area of the city as a battlefield, so let these people leave in advance."
Stephanie asked a few people aside and said.
"It should be said that the people of the Silver Moon Sect want to do this... It's a good opportunity. They took the initiative to help us determine where the dragon will stay after it, so that we can get there at that time, and the map of Stephanie and Komuer."
"for you."
"The train station should not be opened in the past few days. The new route enters Dongde County from here, so the next thing you have to do is to buy a carriage and some necessary supplies as soon as possible, and then wait for me here."
The map was just bought, Donald's eyes wandered on it, and his finger pointed at somewhere east, saying,
They need a place to meet.
"Donald, really doesn't need us to help you? At least I or Lilo left one, which can be used as insurance for emergencies."
Anthony frowned slightly. He agreed with Donald's plan, but he was also worried.
After all, this time the opponent is different from the past. The Dragon or Silver Moon Sect, no matter which side, Donald is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.
But Donald wanted to face it alone.
"No, this time it's not about fighting, but trying. I can't ensure that the plan is successful. Once it fails, what I will consider is not how to fight, but how to escape. I have a dimensional step and a horse whistle. As long as I want to run, there should be no problem. If you and Liluo follow me, I will still have to pay attention to you at that time, and it will be easy to get distracted and get into trouble."
Refolding the map and putting it in Anthony's arms, Donald turned sideways away from a group of warriors riding horses and wearing silver armor, and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, be careful yourself and don't take too much risk. You have to remember that this plan is not something that must be completed. If you really encounter difficulties, give up as soon as possible!"
Anthony knew that he could not change Donald's thoughts, so he could only remind him again.
"Well, you go first, it's easy for us to stand here to attract other people's attention."
Raising his hand to press the silk top hat on his head, Donald walked in the opposite direction along the crowd.
......
As dusk fell, several large fires in Koumur City were finally put out, leaving only wisps of black smoke floating towards the sky.
The nights in Komuer, which were originally lively, were completely deserted. There were only a few people carrying large and small bags left on the street and wandering around. They had no money to stay in hotels, so they could only find some abandoned houses or sheds for a while.
I don’t know when it started, but there were snowflakes falling in the night sky, and the momentum was not big, but the momentum was continuous.
The heavy cannon cart ran across the street under the drag of horses, and the wheels collided with the masonry and rocks, creaking.
"How many shells were made?"
Infinita stood by a flower bed in the west of the city, looking at the cannon truck passing by, and asked the government personnel next to her.
"Not much, the time is too short. Even if all the workshops were launched, I only made three boxes to gather a total of twenty bombs... Can I take the liberty to ask what the powder you asked to fill in the shells is for?"
The arms warehouse in Koumur City did not store too many heavy arms. After all, the Ryan Empire had not fought wars for many years. At present, these three artillery cars are considered "old antiques", and even the shells were temporarily made in a hurry.
"Those are psychedelic powders, which are used in the maximum dose, in order to make the dragon lose its ability to move in a short period of time, so that we can do it."
For this ambush, the Silver Moon Sect took out all the possible things in the warehouse, and psychedelic powder was just one of them.
Just like the rifle she is in her hand now, the steam-powered mechanical gun is engraved with a complex magic array, and each bullet will carry extremely strong armor-breaking and burning effects when it rushes out of the barrel.
This will be used as a weapon they use against the Dragon in the first phase.
There is also the second phase, the third phase...
After nearly two hours of discussion at noon, the wisdom of the entire Silver Moon Guardian senior management was still somewhat interesting.
So when will the dragon come?
Infinita was holding a steam spear in one hand and on the hilt of the sword around her waist. She was actually looking forward to the arrival of the dragon.
Because only when enemies appear can she fight and get promoted through battle.
"Great Ms. Silver Moon, I am willing to devote everything to you. Please guide me to the path of revenge."
The snowflakes fell on the gun, and the hand that was originally on the hilt of the sword drew a crescent arc on its chest, and Infinita prayed softly.
At this moment, perhaps the god heard her prayer.
Chapter completed!
