The night was dark, and the thick ink-like dark clouds stacked up thickly, like an upside-down sea, and the heavy water vapor contained in it was about to fall.
A heavy and depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire Tireme Plain.
Katcha!
I don't know how long it took, but a dazzling tree-shaped lightning suddenly tore open the calm night sky.
Rumble——!
Immediately afterwards, thunder rolled from the sky, like some kind of command, and the heavy rain suddenly poured down!
It rained heavily for a while, everything was silent, and the only sound left in my ears was the patter of rain.
There is a river named Names in Tilaime, which is a tributary of the largest Arigha river in Neustadt.
This river runs through the entire Tireme Plain from north to south, like spreading tree branches, providing abundant water resources for agriculture here.
However, when heavy rain falls, these normally friendly rivers turn into the coldest killers.
"Quick! Pile sandbags here!" The knight, wearing a raincoat, stood beside a tributary of the Namos River outside Golden Wheat Sui City, loudly commanding the temporarily recruited serfs and young men.
Crash--
In the past, the gentle river changed its tame appearance and became turbulent and rapid during the heavy rain.
The heavy rain was so heavy that the water in the river had risen visibly to the naked eye!
"drink!"
Everyone on the riverside knew the seriousness of the situation at hand. Without the knight's deliberate urging, they all used their strength to strengthen the embankment with sandbags.
It's a pity, how can manpower resist the power of God?
Even though they worked hard to pile up sandbags, the situation on the shore was getting worse and worse. The raging river kept lapping at the embankment. Many sandbags that had just been piled up were washed away in the blink of an eye. What was even more critical was that the river level had already fallen. Starting to gradually approach the top of the embankment!
The serfs began to retreat a little, not everyone was willing to continue risking their lives to strengthen the river banks.
"Hurry up! Behind you is your home. If the flood overflows the river bank, everything will be over!" The knight shouted loudly, but when he saw that the effect was not good, he looked hard and pulled out the sharp sword from his waist with a clang: " No one is allowed to retreat until the river embankment completely collapses!"
Under his decisive action, the serfs' retreating mood was suddenly reduced, and they gritted their teeth and continued to strengthen the river bank.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the situation suddenly became better.
"Try harder and build it higher and the river will no longer be able to overflow!" the knight continued shouting, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Why!"
With a bang, an exhausted serf suddenly slipped and fell heavily!
The sandbag carried on his shoulders drew a slanted arc and fell into the rolling river with a splash, and his body involuntarily fell towards the river in front of him.
"Ralph!" the companion next to him exclaimed!
"Ah!" Ralph gasped violently and threw himself on the top of the temporary pile of sand, his head almost touching the water.
He didn't wait for a second to rejoice.
rustle--
A slight sound suddenly came from the sandbag below, and he felt his body begin to sink. There was deep fear in Ralph's eyes, and he screamed in horror!
"No!" The knight on the side reacted first, his complexion changed drastically, he quickly threw away his sword, reached out and strode forward carrying several heavy sandbags!
However it was still too late.
thump!
Ralph dove into the river and was swallowed up in the blink of an eye. The sandbags at the top fell into the river with him.
A half-meter-sized gap suddenly appeared. The raging river seemed to have found an outlet and rushed towards the gap. In the blink of an eye, the small gap expanded several times!
The embankment, which was still able to hold up, almost collapsed after only supporting it for a moment, and the turbid river water rushed towards the knights and serfs!
The knight sighed, dropped the sandbag in his hand, and ran behind him without hesitation!
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, a figure in white robe suddenly came through the rain curtain!
Whoosh!
The brilliance of witchcraft shone, and the turbid river water rushing towards the river bank suddenly stopped, and then rolled back into the river step by step under the powerful force field.
Then, a faint white light flashed through, and the land on the river bank spontaneously moved, forming a raised slope in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still traces of the raging torrent on the ground, the knight would almost feel that the scene of the river bank collapse just now seemed to be just an illusion.
"It's the Lord of Tireme!" a serf exclaimed!
Only then did the knight react and quickly raised his head.
But there was only a pale back in the field of vision.
"Huh? What?"
Peng!
A black shadow suddenly fell. The knight was startled and subconsciously took a small step back.
By the light of the bright crystals distributed by the wizard behind him, he saw clearly the face of the black shadow, which was none other than Ralph who had fallen into the river earlier.
"You're alive, Ralph!"
"Cough-cough!" Ralph coughed violently, but there was still a trace of warmth in his chest.
'The Lord of Tireme...saved me?'
…
Colin shuttled through the heavy rain at high speed. Due to the influence of the rain, his flying speed more than doubled.
After a while, he came to another low place on the river bank near Golden Wheat Ear.
The situation here is slightly better than the previous river bank. It has not collapsed yet, and the serfs are still working hard to raise the river bank.
Whoosh!
When he came closer, Colin waved his hand with a familiarity, and the low river bank suddenly surged up like bamboo shoots, forming a high slope that isolated the river.
Without a moment's delay, after doing this, he continued on to the next location without stopping.
Not only him, but the wizards in the entire Tireme Plain, in addition to some necessary defense forces, are currently supporting various river banks and warehouses storing food.
The spring harvest was indeed completed without any danger, but the heavy rains that followed were not so easy to deal with. Reinforcing these river banks was only the first step.
As the Lord of Ti Lai Mei, he has more issues to consider. How to control the flooding in the city? How to resettle those whose houses were destroyed by heavy rains and made homeless? If it keeps raining, how to ensure Ti Lai Mei in the future?
Is America Plain operating normally?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking like this, before he knew it, Colin had patrolled the entire Tireme Plain.
"All the weak points on the river bank have basically been reinforced, and there is no need to worry about flooding in a short period of time." Colin was slightly relieved, but soon he looked up at the still thick dark clouds and added, "It's just
In the short term...reinforcement will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.'
'How to cure the root cause...'
After thinking for a moment, Colin suddenly had a thought in his mind and had a preliminary idea. He identified the direction and flew to a warehouse where grain was stored.
In the granary, Claire is drying wheat.
"Sir Claire." Colin stepped forward quickly, "The wheat will go bad in a while. There is no need to dry it in such a hurry. I have more important things to ask for your help."
"More important things... you say." Claire put away her magic power and turned her head in confusion.
…
In Golden Maisui City, no one could be seen on the streets. People were huddled at home, looking at the pouring rain outside the window and worrying secretly.
The rain has accumulated to the ankles, and in some low places it has even accumulated to the calves. If this continues, the entire Golden Wheat Ear will be submerged by the rain.
The drainage system in the city is operating at full power, but the effect is not satisfactory. These sewers, which are usually connected to rivers, due to the sudden increase in water levels in the rivers, some have no drainage, and are even pouring into the city!
This is just the situation in Golden Wheat Sui. In some small towns with poor drainage capacity, many people have climbed onto the roof beams.
The cries and curses were drowned out by the sound of rain, and the whole world was just silent, a despairing silence.
"It is better to clear the river than to block it. As long as the heavy rain continues, those reinforced river channels will be broken sooner or later."
In mid-air, Colin looked at the current situation of the city below him, and said quickly to Claire in front of him with a heavy face: "So I would like to ask you to work with me to clear the flood!"
"To dredge the flood, do you mean to widen the river? But even if I am a fourth-level wizard, I want to..." Claire frowned slightly.
"It's not about widening the river." Colin shook his head, "It's too late to widen the river. I want to ask you to work with me to change the river's course!"
"Diversion?"
"Yes, change the route and let the flood flow to the cave!" Colin said solemnly.
"That's it, I understand!" Claire suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
Aren’t the caves that exist in Tireme the best flood discharge areas?
Next, the two of them went to the Golden Wheat Wizard Tower and looked at the map together to formulate a preliminary diversion plan.
After doing this, Colin told Xue Lai who was stationed here to be careful, and he and Claire rushed to the first location without stopping!
Boom!
The status of wizards gives them great power to resist the power of God.
In this way, after half a day of hard work, the flooding in Tilaimei was significantly improved, and the water level of the Namos River slowly dropped, finally remaining at a position only a dozen centimeters higher than before.
If you look at it from the sky, you can see that dozens of winding waterways suddenly appeared in the Tireme Plain in just half a day.
It has to be said that the sinkhole that Colin blasted at the original location of the cave also helped a lot during this flood, greatly reducing their workload.
In this way, the hidden dangers in the river can be considered completely eliminated.
It's just that the crisis has not been completely resolved in the cities of Tireme, and their situations are more complicated than those of the rivers.
But at least after the river water level dropped, Colin didn't have to worry about a major crisis for the time being, and the stagnant water in the city could be slowly cleared.
'It's just... I don't know when this rain will stop.'
Colin landed in front of the Wizard Tower with a tired look on his face, looked up at the sky, and walked in expressionlessly.
Rumble~
'What's this?'
At this moment, Colin suddenly became excited, turned around quickly, and looked into the distance!
The heavy rain curtain obscured everything, and even if his eyesight was as strong as his, he couldn't see anything.
However, outside the field of vision, Colin's soul could feel a shuddering wave coming faintly.
"You feel it too?"
Whoosh, Claire walked through the rain curtain and landed next to him, asking slightly in surprise.
"Yeah." Colin nodded, looked back into the distance, and asked, "What is that?"
"I'm afraid the Supreme Councilor took action." Claire speculated uncertainly. She looked at Colin, still a little surprised in her heart, "Did you really feel it?"
"It has some very simulated feelings." Colin explained simply.
"Noyins said that you are gifted... It seems that he is right." Claire sighed, "At least in terms of soul acuity, you are not inferior to the genius wizards at the peak of the third level and some ordinary people.
Fourth-level junior wizard."
"Generally speaking, only fourth-level wizards who have completed soul sublimation can feel the fluctuation just now."
Colin was slightly startled and a little surprised.
'Are they no longer inferior to third-level peak genius wizards and some ordinary fourth-level junior wizards?'
After the fusion of will and spirit that day, Colin's soul, body, and magic and blood have been in a state of rapid improvement. To this day, he actually does not have a clear understanding of how strong he is.
Seeing that he was silent, Claire did not go into details, but continued: "I feel it more clearly than you. It is obviously the unique world fluctuation caused by the supreme councilor's movements, as if the world will cooperate with his actions...
…This is definitely something the Supreme Councilor took action, and it was not done in the star realm, but in the world of Yanam.”
"The Supreme Councilor takes action..." Colin looked to the south, as if he saw the astonishing power of the Supreme Councilor's action in his eyes.
It's just... Even the Supreme Councilor has taken action. What is the situation on the front line?
Claire was also a little worried, but still smiled and said: "This is most likely good news. If the gods have the power to resist, this fluctuation will never last for such a short period of time."
"Yeah." Colin nodded, knowing in his heart that this was just an optimistic thought.
He looked up at the dark sky. The heavy rain was still pouring down. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that after the fluctuation, the heavy rain seemed to have weakened...
But no matter what, the Supreme Councilor's action is probably inseparable from the extreme weather that has appeared in various parts of the Asian continent.
"The river crisis has been touched for the time being. Sir Claire, please take a rest for a while... I also plan to meditate to restore my magic power."
The two stood silently for a moment, then Colin turned to Claire and said.
"Yeah." Claire nodded and walked into the wizard tower.
Colin followed, and before entering the door, he turned his head one last time to look at the dark rain curtain, and his thoughts gradually fell on himself.
'Claire said that the acuity of my soul is no less than that of genius wizards at the peak of the third level and some ordinary fourth-level junior wizards, but my soul has never been particularly outstanding in terms of perception...'
'That is to say... my current soul strength has actually reached the peak of the third level, and even touched the threshold of the fourth level wizard?'
Colin walked straight into the meditation room, intending to restore his magic power and also examine himself.
Most of the day later.
The heavy rain in the Tireme Plains quietly stopped.
At the same time, another explosive news came from the front line——
'The seventh supreme councilor took action, and the gods suffered heavy losses. Three popes fell, and three gray towers collapsed on the spot!'
