Chapter 1391 1378. Night
The current situation in Epsom City is very special. Although the streets and alleys in Epsom City are crowded with refugees who fled from the other four counties, at least half of the houses in the aristocratic neighborhoods in the city are currently empty.
There are so many people in the city all of a sudden, but the real defense force is pitifully small.
Suldak and his party walked through most of the aristocratic neighborhoods, but only met a guard battalion knight. This situation is very rare even in Hailansa City, which has a good law and order situation.
The aristocratic block is usually the block that the guard battalion focuses on, and now there are a large number of refugees in Epsom City. If the patrol route is arranged according to normal thinking, the aristocratic block will also be the top priority, but now Suldak walks On the street, there were no guard battalion knights to be seen at all.
After much deliberation, there can only be one situation. The defense force in the city is extremely weak.
In other words, most of the soldiers in Epsom City may be on the frontline battlefield...
The lords of Evelson Province saw the current situation of the Warsaw plane. In order to avoid greater losses, they may not continue to send more troops, and perhaps what is more, they will withdraw their lords from the battlefield. But those knights who have lived in the Warsaw plane for several generations and really made their homes here have no way out. If the frontline troops are in short supply, they will add to the battlefield without hesitation.
For them, this battle is not a war of planes, but a battle to defend their homeland. Once the war fails, the home is likely to be gone.
Many times, Suldak has a deeper understanding of the battlefield than others, because he is the one who really crawled out of the dead and understands the cruelty of the battlefield better. He is very clear about the weaknesses of the ghost warriors.
Suldak did not expect that the situation in the current Warsaw plane would be corrupted to such a state, nor did he expect that the lord army in Evelson Province had already begun to be defeated across the board, and even the last two counties were unable to garrison, and Duke Newman unexpectedly Still holding back and looking for the last chance to come back.
...can make him resolutely give up so much fat on the Bailin plane, and then move to the Warsaw plane thousands of miles away, and he has been struggling here for eight years and is reluctant to quit, Sulda K couldn't guess what it was about here that attracted him so much.
When Suldak arrived at the gate of the No. 57 house, he saw that the gate of the house had been completely opened. Some refugees stood timidly in front of the gate and peeked inside, while some carried their luggage into the yard. Walk.
And the front courtyard of the house is actually full of tents at this moment, it’s so late, and Signa and Nika haven’t slept, these borrowers are not poor in the true sense, so there is no need for anyone to support them. Setting up a porridge pot or something, and solving their food and clothing, these refugees just couldn't find a place to live in this city for the time being.
The two-headed ogre Gullitum is sitting on the steps of the main house, looking at a statue of a knight behind him. Now Gullitum is sleeping soundly, and the eyes of his good brother Naohuaer are like bells, observing Looking at the situation in the front yard.
Seeing Suldak and Samira, Carrie Decker and the others returned to the house, and Signa ran up first, and while Suldak was leading the horse to the stable, she pulled the In a word, she and Nika felt pity for the children sleeping on the street, so they persuaded the soft-hearted Selina to allow these people to set up tents in the yard.
Suldak led the horses to the stable, and a cavalryman took over the horses of Suldak, Samira, and Carrie Decker.
"We will leave Epsom City the morning after tomorrow. How are you going to deal with these people? Will you invite them out, or let them live in this yard?" Suldak turned and looked at Signa who was following up. , reached out and touched her head.
"If no one chases them away, then just stay."
Suldak embraced Signa's weak shoulders, beckoned Nika behind to follow, and then walked towards the main house, saying as he walked:
"But if no one takes care of this place, they may turn the entire yard into a garbage dump, and may evacuate all valuable things in the house. I don't question that all of them are thieves, but there will inevitably be more people. Some people with bad conduct, I can’t leave guards here, what are you going to do? How are you going to protect my property?”
Signa was embarrassed when she heard what Suldak said. When she invited these people in, she didn't think so much at all.
Nika followed, also dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer Suldak's question.
The two of them obviously wanted to help those people on the street as much as they could, but in fact, it hurt Suldak's interests.
At this time, Selena was seen coming out of the shadows. She was wearing a black robe with a hood on her head, and she could almost perfectly blend herself into the darkness.
She said to Suldak:
"They are not refugees themselves, but temporarily stranded in Epsom City. Many of these people are even nobles, belonging to the kind of down-and-out nobles, but I believe they can maintain the hygiene here, and they will not Someone went to move the furniture in the house, but in fact, all the things that can be moved in this house have already been moved, and the remaining items are not worth moving."
Suldak stretched out his other hand, wrapping around Selena's soft waist, and a group of people walked into the house through the side door.
"So your next step is to develop these people to become believers of the Evernight Goddess?" Suldak asked Selina in a low voice.
Selena took a deep look at Suldak, her eyes were gentle, and said to meet his gaze: "At least a seed must be planted in their hearts..."
Suldak pinched Selina's cheek, and said casually: "You, the envoy, really do your duty. I hope the Evernight Goddess can feel your piety."
Selena turned her face away, took Signa's little hand, waved to Nika again, and said, "Of course she can feel it, but she knows more than you think, Signa , Nika, you will sleep with me tonight, and your master bedroom is at the end of the corridor on the second floor."
After speaking, he walked to the bedroom on the first floor without looking back, leaving only Suldak, Samira, and Carrie Decker in the hall on the first floor.
Carrie Decker immediately looked at Samira vigilantly, and immediately said in the next second: "Well... I'm really a little tired today, I'm going to rest first."
After finishing speaking, he stepped up the stairs with his long legs in three steps and two steps, and his figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Only Suldak and Samira were left in the hall on the first floor.
