Five magic scholars from the Astrologer's Guild came out of the heavy armored infantry regiment.
They lowered their heads, holding crystal balls and standing in five directions of the portal. The crystal balls in their hands released a trace of magic power. These magic powers formed magic lines, forming a five-pointed star-shaped magic pattern on the ground of the portal.
Here comes the magic circle.
Surdak couldn't understand what they were doing, and the magician Avid didn't explain.
Avide sat on the boulder in the ruins, waiting for Surdak to come up, and said with an ugly face:
"I thought they just destroyed the magic hub, but I didn't expect that they demolished the main structure of the portal. Now it's troublesome. The repair project is not only repairing the magic pattern array of the space system, but also involves some civil engineering.
…”
Aved pulled his hair in distress. Although five magic scholars helped, the person who repaired the portal was still the magician Aved.
"How long will it take to repair it?" Surdak asked.
He cared more about this than anything else.
The magician Avid looked at the magic scholars who were setting up the magic circle and whispered:
"I'm not sure. We need to clean up the ruins first before we can more carefully calculate the extent of the damage."
Surdak looked around and then at the night sky. It happened to be early in the morning, so he asked the magician Avid: "Will we start work now?"
Magician Avid said quickly: "Of course, leave some manpower for me. I need to move the rubble from these ruins. I will also find some craftsmen for me tomorrow."
Surdak waved to the commander of the heavy armored infantry regiment behind him and asked him to come over here, while promising:
"If you have any needs, just ask me and I will take care of it. All resources will be given to you first!"
Magician Avid nodded quickly to express his gratitude.
…
Surdak left the 1,500 infantry soldiers of the 13th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment in the central square, and continued to lead the heavy armored infantry regiment towards the city hall in Mukuso.
When Adler McDonnell left Mukuso City, it became unmanaged.
If Surdak wants to take over Mukuso, he must occupy the city hall as soon as possible and let the city continue to operate.
On the way to the city hall, Suldak had no illusions about the treasury of the tax department of the city hall.
Adler McDonnell has been gone for so long, and it is estimated that the tax department's treasury has almost been emptied by now.
He hopes that there are still some supplies left in the supply warehouses distributed in the city by the City Hall Logistics Office. At least at this time, nothing can be transported out of the city. In addition, he hopes that the backup of the Land Bureau's files on the nobles will be intact.
Although it has been preserved, the land around Mukuso City is still relatively valuable.
The heavy armored infantry regiment entered the inner courtyard of the city hall. Surdak found that there were guard knights guarding the gate. However, these guard camp knights did not stop Surdak and his heavy armored infantry regiment. Surdak
When Dak rode into the inner courtyard of the city hall, the knights from the guard camp at the door actually saluted Suldak as a knight.
It's as if Surdak is the governor of this city and tonight is his first day in office.
Dozens of torches were lit in the inner courtyard of the city hall, illuminating the entire courtyard brightly. A group of nobles were waiting anxiously in front of the steps.
Everyone saw Surdak riding a blue-scaled horse and leading an army into the inner courtyard, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Some nobles even secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads, which made Surdak a little confused.
A middle-aged earl wearing a noble dress walked to the front to welcome Surdak. According to the noble title, he was at least three levels higher than Surdak, but now he could not use his title to overwhelm others, nor could he take off his hat. Feeling embarrassed, he put on a smile and said to Suldak: "Good evening, Commander, we have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
"My name is Suldak, commander of the Luther Legion Independent Cavalry Regiment. I will temporarily take over Mukuso City. Your Excellency, who is...?"
"I am Basil, member of the House of Representatives in Mukuso City.\nHuton, I am also in charge of the specific affairs of the Finance Department in Mukuso." The middle-aged earl said respectfully to Suldak.
It turned out to be Mukuso’s finance minister…
At this time, a noble who can take the initiative to stand in front of Surdak not only has sufficient status and prestige, but also has a bunch of affairs under his charge that will not let Surdak find any fault.
Thinking of this, Suldak felt more hopeful.
He listened patiently to Count Hutton introducing the other nobles next to Suldak.
Only then did Surdak realize that the nobles in front of him included almost all the top officials in the city hall. Almost all the officials in the city hall were present, including the commander of the city defense brigade and the chief of security.
After a while of greetings, Suldak led the heavy armored infantry regiment into the city hall.
After listening to the Finance Minister's introduction, Suldak realized that the situation at the city hall was much better than imagined.
Adler McDonnell has just been in charge of the McDonnell family for more than a month and has no time to install his own people in the city hall. Mukuso City Hall is not under the control of Adler McDonnell.
Adler McDonnell left Mukuso and failed to take away a single gold coin from the city hall vault.
All the supplies in the munitions department have actually been preserved, but there are not too many of them anymore.
Lord MacDonnell has been fighting against the Bena coalition forces in Tarapagan for so long, and most of the supplies he stocked have been consumed. Recently, the Lord MacDonnell family's army has frequently made big moves, and successive defeats have also intensified the loss of supplies.
Suldak summoned these officials to the conference hall of the city hall and held an emergency meeting overnight.
The current task is to stabilize the situation in Mukusuo and resist the invasion of the hell demons.
Suldak sat on the rostrum of the conference room as his duty, and when all the officials were seated, he tapped the table with his fingers.
The scene fell silent instantly, after all, no one knew about Suldak's temper.
"Let me talk about the urgent problems that must be solved in Mukusuo City."
"The first is the defense issue of Mukuso. I hope that the city defense team will do a good job in city defense. Of course, in extraordinary times, I will mobilize the heavy armored infantry regiment to participate in the city defense. It is necessary to ensure that the city wall is not lost. In addition, I am afraid that during the city defense,
The war will continue for a while, and during this period we must coordinate the rotation of guard soldiers."
"The second is to ensure the logistics of city wall defense. All kinds of materials must be deployed adequately and delivered to the city wall in a timely manner."
"Third, make good city defense reserves and actively form militiamen to participate in defending the city. This battle will probably become more difficult later on, so the reserves must prepare as early as possible."
"Every noble in the fourth city must contribute to the defense of the city. Since you are nobles, you are obliged to maintain the current order of Mukusuo. Only when the city is stabilized can the city defenders concentrate on defending the city."
"The Fifth Guard Battalion needs to immediately start cleaning up the low-level demons that have sneaked into the city. Note, I didn't say in the morning, but immediately."
"Finally, I hope to see you all here again after the city defense is over, rather than in prison, execution ground or on the way to escape."
After Suldak finished speaking, he arranged the parchment on the table, stood up from the rostrum, and walked out of the conference hall.
The meeting was very short, and after Suldak finished speaking, he did not give everyone a chance to discuss it. He was more like issuing a notice and the officials just followed it.
Seeing Suldak leaving in a hurry, Finance Minister Basil.\nHuton, the City Hall Logistics Director, the City Defense Brigade Commander, and the Chief of Guards immediately stood up and followed them out of the conference hall.
Suldak stopped in the corridor, stood in front of the pillars and said to the logistics minister: "Find five hundred masons and carpenters before dawn and assemble in the central square. This is your first task."
"In addition, tomorrow morning, breakfast must be prepared for the soldiers guarding the city wall. The principle of living nearby is adopted. All residential buildings under the city wall must be requisitioned for military use to provide rest rooms for the city defense guards. Those families whose houses have been requisitioned must also be resettled.
"
"If you do these two things well, I won't fire you as the logistics director!"
The logistics minister's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Commander Surdak, I will do these two things well!"
The logistics minister was just about to leave...
"Wait, there's more..." Suldak stopped him again and said: "Transport all the wounded soldiers to the city hall, and build a temporary medical tent in the inner courtyard of the city hall."
"Yes, Commander." The logistics director said energetically.
Then Suldak turned to look at the Minister of Finance and said to him: "I haven't had time to check the treasury accounts recently. Count Basil, you just need to prepare the account books."
Without waiting for Basil Hooton to agree, he said to the commander of the city defense brigade and the chief of guards who were waiting aside: "Let's go to the city defense brigade to have a look and discuss the rotation. The heavy armored infantry regiment
I will coordinate the dispatch here!"
He turned to the chief of security and said, "The top priority of the security battalion now is to clean up the people who broke into the caves in the city and try to reduce the casualties in the city."
Suldak's horse stopped at the bottom of the steps, and a group of heavy armored infantry was waiting in the yard. The group left the city hall in a mighty manner...
A group of nobles, including Basil Hooton, did not expect that when Surdak occupied Mukuso City, he did not hold the money and food in his hands, but also retained the original group of noble officials in Mukuso City.
