The current situation in Epsom City is very special. Even though the streets and alleys in Epsom City are crowded with refugees who have fled from the other four counties, at least half of the houses in the aristocratic neighborhoods of the city are currently empty.
There were so many people in the city all of a sudden, but the actual defense force was pitifully small.
Surdak and his party passed through most of the aristocratic neighborhoods, but unexpectedly encountered only one knight from the guard camp. This situation is very rare even in the city of Hiranza, which has a good public security situation.
Generally speaking, the aristocratic neighborhood is a neighborhood that the guard camp focuses on taking care of, and now there are a large number of refugees gathered in Epsom City. If patrol routes are arranged according to normal thinking, the aristocratic neighborhood will also be a top priority, but now Surdak is walking On the streets, there were no knights guarding the camp at all.
After thinking about it, it 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...
Seeing the current situation in the Warsaw plane, the lords of Ivorson Province may not continue to send more troops in order to avoid greater losses, or may even withdraw their lords' troops from the battlefield. But those knights who have lived in the plane of Warsaw for several generations and have really made their homes here have no way to retreat. If the frontline is short of troops, they will not hesitate to add more to the battlefield.
For them, this battle is not a plane war, but a battle to defend their home. Once the war fails, their home may be lost.
Many times, Surdak has a deeper understanding of the battlefield than others, because he is the one who has truly climbed out of the dead and understands the cruelty of the battlefield better. He knows very well what the weaknesses of the evil ghost warriors are.
Suldak did not expect that the current situation in the Warsaw plane would turn out to be like this. He also did not expect that the Lord's Army in Ivorson Province had begun to collapse across the board. Even the last two counties were unable to garrison, and Duke Newman actually Still holding back and looking for the final chance to make a comeback.
...can make him resolutely give up so much fat on the Bailin plane, and then move to the battlefield of Warsaw plane thousands of miles away, and still be reluctant to quit here after eight years of hard work, Suer Duck couldn't guess what was so attractive to him here.
Suldak rushed to the gate of House No. 57 and saw that the gate of the house was completely open. Some refugees stood timidly in front of the gate and peeked inside, while some carried their luggage into the yard. Walk.
The front courtyard of the house was actually full of tents at this time. It was so late, and Xigna and Nika were not sleeping. These tenants were not poor in the true sense, so no one had any need to pay. They have to build a porridge pot or something, and they have to provide for their food and clothing. These refugees just can't find a place to stay in this city for the time being.
The two-headed ogre Gulitum is sitting on the steps of the main house, looking at a statue of a knight behind him. Now Gulitum is sleeping soundly, and the good brother Brainflower's eyes are as wide as bells, observing Look at the situation in the front yard.
Seeing Suldak, Samira, and Gary Decker return to the house, Signa ran up first and took advantage of Suldak to lead the horse to the stable.
She told him about the situation. In short, 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.
Surdak led the horses to the stable, and a cavalryman took over the horses of Surdak, Samira and Gary Decker.
"We will leave Epsom City the day after tomorrow. How are you going to deal with these people then? Will you invite them out, or let them live in this courtyard?" Suldak turned and looked at Xigna who was following him.
, reached out and touched her head.
Signa blinked her big black grape-like eyes, tilted her head and said to Suldak:
"If no one drives them away, then they can stay there."
Suldak held Xigna's weak shoulders and asked Nika to follow him. Then he walked towards the main house and said as he walked:
"But if no one takes care of this place, they may turn the entire yard into a garbage dump, and may remove all the valuable things from the house. I am not questioning that all of them are thieves, but it is inevitable that there will be problems if there are too many people.
There are some people with bad behavior. I can't leave guards here. What are you going to do? How are you going to protect my property?"
Xigna looked embarrassed when she heard what Suldak said. When she invited these people in, she didn't think so much at all.
Nika followed, also stunned, not knowing how to answer Surdak's question.
The two of them obviously wanted to help the people on the street as much as they could, but in fact, this harmed Surdak's interests.
At this time, Selena was seen walking out of the shadows. She was wearing a black robe and a hood on her head, which almost perfectly blended herself into the darkness.
She said to Suldak:
"They are not refugees themselves, they are just temporarily staying in Epsom City. Many of these people are even nobles and belong to the down-and-out nobles. But I believe they can maintain the hygiene here, and they will not
Someone goes to move the furniture in the house, but in fact all the things that can be moved in this house have been moved, and the remaining items are not worth moving."
Suldak stretched out his other hand and put his arm around Selena's soft waist, and the group walked into the house through the side door.
"So your next step is to develop these people to become believers of the goddess of the night?" Surdak asked Selina in a low voice.
Selena took a deep look at Suldak, her eyes were gentle, and she met his gaze and said: "At least plant a seed in their hearts..."
Surdak pinched Selina's cheek and said casually: "You, the divine envoy, really do your duty. I hope the goddess of the night can feel your piety."
Selena turned her face away, took Xigna's little hand, and waved to Nika, saying: "Of course she can feel it. In fact, she knows more than you think, Xigna
, Nika, you sleep with me tonight, and your master bedroom is at the end of the corridor on the second floor."
After saying that, he walked to the bedroom on the first floor without looking back, leaving only Suldak, Samira and Gary Decker in the hall on the first floor.
Gary Decker immediately looked at Samira alertly, and said immediately the next second: "Well... I'm really a little tired today, I'm going to rest first."
After saying that, he took three steps and two steps up the stairs with his long legs, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Only Surdak and Samira were left in the hall on the first floor.
(Sorry, something happened today, so I can only update according to the minimum word limit. Some people said that there are only the last few dozen chapters left. After the supplementary chapters are repaid, can this volume be finished? If the plot is not finished, I will continue to finish it.
But this book no longer supports tipping for additional updates. We will continue with the next book, giving me so many monthly votes and recommendations every day. Thank you to all my relatives for their support)
