Chapter 190: Hometown
In the dark night, with a solitary moon hanging high in the sky, the cool evening breeze blows over the vast yellow sand wasteland. Under the dark night sky, a vast expanse of desolation is revealed. In this boundless darkness and desolation, there are only a few points of light and fire dotted on the earth, showing signs of life.
This is Monte, one of the big cities in northern Uados. Monte is the most important transportation hub in the northern part of Ados. Almost all the railways in the entire northern region of Ados intersect here. The railway from Kankedal to Ados must also lead here. Therefore, this has become a place that the church delegation must come to after entering Ados.
At night, when the whole of Mont was gradually falling into silence, the train station in Mont was bustling with people. Soldiers in standard uniforms lined up, and people in different clothes celebrated. Amid the anticipation of countless people, the huge steel train slowed down and slowly stopped in front of the platform.
As the door of the carriage opened, the guards in line saluted in unison with their guns in their numbers. Amid cheers, Sister Vanya, who was dressed in a ceremonial robe, walked out of the carriage, escorted by her attendants. She stepped onto the pre-laid carpet and moved forward slowly step by step amid the steam rising from the ground.
Maintaining her customary smile, Vanya walked forward while responding to the welcoming crowds on both sides. During this time, she also looked at this station that she had visited more than half a year ago. Compared with the scene in her memory, this place seemed to have been completely renewed. The broken floor had been replaced, the bullet holes that could be seen everywhere had disappeared, and all kinds of damage caused by the war had been almost repaired. A lot of ordinary people who were originally invisible on the platform appeared in front of them, and even the revolutionary soldiers who were originally dressed in tattered clothes had become handsome and upright, and dressed neatly.
Amid the etiquette of two rows of guards beside her, Vanya stepped between the steam and cheers and walked all the way to the end of the carpet. At this time, she saw a familiar figure there. The young man in the uniform of a senior officer waited for Vanya to come to him with a smile on his face, then stretched out his hand and said.
"Long time no see, Sister Vanya, welcome back to Adus."
"Thank you for your personal welcome, Mr. Shadi." Vanya said this, and then under the illumination of flash lights, she stretched out her hand and shook hands with Shadi.
…
After the delegation represented by Vanya arrived in Ment again, they were personally welcomed by Shadi, the current actual ruler of Addis and the general of the Addis Revolutionary Army. After learning about the itinerary of the church delegation, he arranged the reception plan early and personally rushed from Addis to Ment to welcome the church delegation again with the highest level of attention.
After the Rebellion of Lei Pan, after several months of rebellion, Shadi almost completely controlled the entire country of Addus, bringing long-awaited peace to this war-torn country. In the past six months of stability, Addus has finally begun the road to stable reconstruction and has achieved significant results that are visible to the naked eye.
During the period of time when Adus was stabilized and rebuilt, other countries have begun to contact the current Adus government and try to restore diplomatic relations with it. Some countries have sent special envoys, but their levels are not high and their efforts are not strong. Vanya's visit this time can be regarded as the highest-level diplomatic visit since the situation in Adus stabilized.
After all, her status was not as high as it is now when she came last time. Although Vanya has not yet been fully promoted to the Red Master, her etiquette standards within the church are already close to the level of a major church, so Shadi did not dare to neglect and came to Mont to greet her in person.
After welcoming Vanya at the station, Shadi led the key members of the delegation to the hotel where a banquet had been prepared for dinner. At the end of this brief and solemn banquet, after the two sides finished their greetings, they finally began to talk about some practical matters.
"So, Sister Vanya, you don't plan to stay in Aldus for long this time?"
In the solemn and spacious hall, Shadi sat on an exquisite chair and asked Vanya curiously who was sitting across a small table beside him. Vanya, who was sitting upright, nodded slightly in response.
"Yes, although we also have plans to go on a pilgrimage to Addis, we have to wait until we return from Busaimit. So after we rest a little in Mente, we will go directly to Busaimit. After returning from Busaimit, we will go to Addis. It is said that there is no usable railway in Busaimit, so please prepare transportation supplies for us, General."
"Well, I'm happy. I'll make the arrangements." Listening to Vanya's words, Shadi nodded in response, then he paused slightly and spoke to Vanya again.
"I am really happy to see that there are kind people like Sister Vanya in this world who care about the people of Northern Ukraine. Last year, your deeds of Adus brought peace to this war-torn country. This year, you will bring relief to Busaimit, which has suffered from chaos for a long time. For a long time, we, the marginal countries outside the continent, have not received enough attention from the international community. You are one of the few people who can think about us and take action. On behalf of the people of Northern Ukraine, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"Your Excellency, you are too kind... I am honored to do this. This is what I should do. The gratitude should belong to 'you', and I am merely the executor of your will. I have come all the way here and seen that Adus is actively rebuilding everywhere. I believe you will also be pleased with the vitality of this country's revival..." Vanya put her hand on her chest and said in a pious and polite tone, and Shadi nodded in response.
"We will certainly not let you down and will continue to work hard to revive the country..." Shadi said this, and then he changed the subject and spoke again.
"Sister Vanya, it is a good thing that you want to provide relief in Busaimit. But I would like to remind you that Busaimit is not a safe place. It has been in chaos all year round and is full of dangers. In recent times, the chaos and danger have become even more serious due to the plague. You must be careful when you get there." Shadi warned in a serious tone. After listening to Shadi's words, Vanya turned around and said curiously.
"I have also heard about the plague in Busaimit recently, but I don't know the details. Busaimit is very close to Adus, so I believe you should know more about the relevant situation. Can you give me a detailed introduction?"
Vanya asked Shadi. After listening to her words, Shadi pondered for a while and then spoke with a serious expression.

"Due to the chaotic situation in Busaimit, many bandit groups have Busaimit as their base camp and have gone out to plunder other surrounding northern Ukrainian countries. Adus has long been harassed by bandits from Busaimit, especially during the civil war. After I initially stabilized the domestic situation, I immediately started to deal with the bandit problem from Busaimit, and specially organized patrols to guard the border areas to prevent the invasion of bandits.
"In the beginning, my patrol team often exchanged fire with the bandits who infiltrated from Busaimit. The combat effectiveness of those fierce bandits was not weak. It was difficult for the patrol team I sent out before to completely suppress them, so I prepared to send more people for support. However, who would have thought that before these people were sent, the bandit problem over there suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by countless refugees rushing towards us.
"I heard from them that a very serious plague is raging in Busaimit. People in many tribes and settlements have been infected and fallen ill. Even those bandits who were rampant in daily life are too sick to lift their guns. I didn't expect that those border bandits would be wiped out by a plague." Shadi earnestly told Vanya about what he had seen and heard, and after hearing what Shadi said, Vanya couldn't help but frowned slightly and spoke.
