Chapter 268 268. Arrival
After a crazy battle.
The battlefield was littered with the remains of enemy broken swords.
“We won!”
The Principality's troops cheered.
Duke Dafen took a quick glance and there was no excitement on his face.
Nearly half were killed or injured!
Many people were permanently injured. Losing an arm or a leg was normal. The wailing of those lying on the ground gradually suppressed the cheers.
The enemies were all elite troops, and they suffered heavy casualties after their desperate resistance.
"Withdraw the troops and return to the city!" Duke Dafen shouted in a low voice. He suddenly realized that the warrior captain had died in the battle and sighed helplessly.
Arrange people to lift the injured companions. If the injuries are too serious and there is no way to save them, you can only kill them quickly.
Of course, the decision lies with the parties involved.
Using alcohol for disinfection and avoiding tetanus infection can reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers. Evelyn once mentioned this.
Duke Dafen was not stingy and ordered people to take out the stock from Ebon Blade Keep and use it on the wounded soldiers as soon as possible.
In addition, people must be arranged to deal with the corpses on the battlefield. They must be burned as quickly as possible to prevent them from resurrecting as undead spirits.
night!
Outside the city, flames rose to the sky.
Evelyn drove the dragon chariot and circled over Morninglight City, covering it with her mental power. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that the city had not fallen.
"No wonder the old stubborn man decided to pass the magic warehouse to me."
She muttered to herself as she drove her dragon chariot to land in front of the gate of Black Blade Keep.
"Miss, we're here!"
The guard at the door recognized Evelyn and called out.
Evelyn had just put the dragon cart away when Dafen appeared in front of her: "It's much earlier than I expected. You should have been earlier so that I wouldn't have had to fight so hard in the morning."
"Okay, mother, I'm not here to help you. Please hand over all these precious magic equipment to me quickly." Evelyn urged impatiently.
Duke Dafen folded his arms and spat softly, "This is not for you. I just asked you to come and get it! The ownership of the magic warehouse belongs only to the next Duke heir."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Evelin thought to herself, how could I hand it over to you if it’s in my hands? Don’t be kidding . The magic warehouse is not very big, so I put it into the space ring after tidying it up.
The top-quality space ring is very useful. It has thousands of square meters of space, enough to store anything.
After a big sweep, Evelin didn't even let go of the wooden shelves: "I say, mother, you are so kind, can't you hold on? I tell you, don't hold on! You have to leave when you have to leave."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving. If the border is lost, it's not just a matter of losing a city! We are still two months away from the severe winter, and the enemy can easily fight all the way to the seaside!" Duke Dafen punched the wall in hatred.
“It’s not that easy. We can just take it back next year.” Evelin said nonchalantly.
"Get me a batch of ammunition and rifles as soon as possible. I need them to defend the city." Duke Dafen said directly.
"We can't defend it." Evelyn said helplessly, "Rifles can't handle high-end forces. You can't do it alone. Do you know what's going on with Dana?"
"My scouts said that her territory has become a paradise for the undead. There are many powerful undead creatures. Dana should not be dead." Dafen was silent for a moment, and said with mixed emotions: "In order to resist the attack of the coalition forces, Dana chose to open the passage from the undead to the mortal world. She actually made such a decision. This means that in order to control the undead, she may choose to turn herself into an undead. I can't blame her obsession."
Dafen was a little incoherent.
"I've met Dana. Don't count on her support anymore. It's useless. Her thinking is different from that of a living person now. She will only stay in that place. You don't want to pin your hopes on the undead, do you?" Evelyn asked back.
"Why not?" Dafen asked himself.
Evelin turned around and left without looking back: "Since we are going to fight, I will go back and prepare, and come back in a few days. That's it, you have to hold on."
"Stop!" Dafen yelled.
Evelin paused and turned slightly: “Do you have anything else to say?”
"I choose Yue as the next heir to the principality! You must assist her until she becomes independent. Lodel can get involved in politics. If Morninglight City falls, Eastport City will be the capital. Remember this." Duke Dafen shouted.
“Why don’t you survive on your own?” Evelyn rolled her eyes: “Don’t count on me. I won’t make any promises to you. I don’t want to be bound like Dana.”
"Try your best," Dana said with a hint of pleading in her voice.
Evelin did not respond, and her figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
The train was running fast on the tracks.
The fifty-kilometer journey took less than forty minutes.
Seven kilometers away from Adventure City, the steam boiler was shut down and the train gradually slowed down.
It slid for several hundred meters before it came to a complete stop.
One thousand fully armed soldiers got off the vehicles and, led by their respective captains, lined up for head count.
"Okay! Let's go!" Georgia shouted loudly and took the lead.
The train is really fast. A journey that used to take a whole day now only takes less than an hour.
Georgia led his men towards the hills.
Along the way, we saw many railway workers and earth element guards leveling the road.
"Be careful, a war is about to break out!"
"Oh, thanks for the reminder."
The workers were not panicked at all while working in such a dangerous place.
They have soldiers with guns as security, spellcasters, elemental guards, and their own numbers.
Along the way, Georgia saw at least 5,000 people! It took about an hour to walk seven kilometers.
After enjoying the convenience of the train, everyone realized how slow walking was.
Finally arrived at Adventure Town!
Georgia saw the people coming towards her.
"Great! You arrived just in time!" Scholar Yi Si thought that he had only sent out the messenger at ten o'clock in the morning, and now it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the person had already arrived.
This speed makes people feel that they were well prepared.
"Did you come here by train?"
"Yes!" Georgia scratched the back of his head innocently: "Where is the enemy?"
"You came too quickly. The enemy hasn't attacked yet." Yi Si put his hands behind his back and led the reinforcements into the town: "Where are your supplies?"
"Please send someone to help pick up the supplies. The supplies are still on the train. I was worried about something going wrong, so I brought people here first." Georgia pretended to be calm. He actually forgot about the supplies and no one reminded him.
"No problem." Yi Si agreed readily.
With the intervention of a thousand fully armed modern troops, the citizens' sense of uneasiness immediately dissipated and they lined the streets to welcome the army.
The lethality of firearms is obvious to all.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of most people, a thousand gun troops are equivalent to tens of thousands of troops.
