Chapter 1436 - 1436 The panic of the residents of Yuanshan city (1)
1436 The panic of the residents of Yuanshan city (1)
The weather gradually turned cold. In the fields of the exiled land, golden grains were about to ripen. A bumper harvest was already set in stone.
With the help of the main control platform’s magical transformation ability and the advanced planting technology of the original world, the land of exile had now become a fertile field.
The people who looked after these crops were basically the remnants of the demon barbarian race. After experiencing the pain of war and the crisis of extinction, the remaining remnants of the demon barbarian race had long been afraid of war and avoided it like the plague.
If there were no accidents, the demon barbarian survivors would not be able to participate in the war for the next few decades.
In fact, this was also good. After all, according to the Holy Dragon city’s statistics, the number of demon barbarian survivors was less than one hundred thousand, and most of them were ordinary people. Asking them to pick up their weapons and fight was no different from sending them to their deaths in vain.
Therefore, Tang Zhen accepted the demon barbarian princess’s request and asked them to focus on farming and taking care of this land that had regained its vitality.
The demon barbarian survivors were properly settled. The immigrants from the undead world had also adapted to their current status. After Holy Dragon City defeated the flame Empire and took over a large area of land, a portion of the undead immigrants also began to move to the occupied area.
It was impossible for Tang Zhen to gather all the immigrants in one piece of land to avoid any unforeseen events in the future. Although the special social structure of loucheng was already very mature and could avoid rebellions to the greatest extent, some things still needed to be taken care of before they happened.
According to Tang Zhen’s plan, these undead immigrants would eventually be scattered to dozens of residential points on the continent. Then, they would try their best to integrate with the local Aboriginals.
In this way, it would only take a few decades for the undead immigrants to completely ignore their past identities and live peacefully on this continent.
……
After the smoke dispersed, the towns occupied by the Holy Dragon City were rejuvenated. All kinds of new things appeared in the eyes of ordinary people, causing their lives to change without them knowing.
The rich people in the city were already holding their phones and going back and forth in their cars. Items like bicycles had also gradually become part of the lives of ordinary people.
Yuanshan city was once a bustling city in the raging flame Empire. After the war began, it fell into the hands of the Holy Dragon City in less than three hours. It was also because of this that the damage to the city was not serious.
With the end of the war, the merchants on the streets reopened for business, and the number of people coming and going gradually increased. The only change was that the patrolling soldiers on the streets had all changed into the Holy Dragon city’s military uniform, looking more heroic and majestic.
In the beginning, the residents of Yuanshan city were not used to it. However, after realizing that Holy Dragon city’s management was very lax, their originally uneasy mood gradually calmed down.
However, in the past few days, the residents of Yuanshan city had discovered that something was not right. They did not know when it had started, but many outsiders had appeared on the hillside outside the city.
These people looked like walking corpses. When they first appeared, they even caused a panic, making the residents of Yuanshan city think that these monsters were created by the necromancers.
Fortunately, as soon as the rumors appeared, the officials of Yuanshan city came forward to explain that these strange-looking outsiders were actually immigrants who had moved here, so the residents did not have to panic.
With the official explanation, the hearts of the Yuanshan city’s citizens finally settled down. After a few days, no one paid any attention to these strange-looking outsiders.
However, just yesterday afternoon, the officials of Yuanshan city had announced through a broadcast that the city gate of Yuanshan city would be closed from the next morning to noon. No one was allowed to enter or leave during this period.
Especially the area near the East Gate, which was directly listed as a forbidden zone. Those who didn’t listen to the warning might even be killed directly!
The residents who heard the broadcast panicked again. They didn’t know what the Holy Dragon City was up to. Thus, rumors began to spread in private, such as a massacre and extermination of species, and the closing of the city to capture people. These rumors also came from the mouths of some suspicious people.
Some people scoffed at this, while others believed it. They even made preparations overnight. If something really happened, they could escape at the first moment.
The next morning finally arrived.
Many residents had stayed up all night, waiting for dawn to break, but nothing happened!
However, this did not mean that the danger was over, because according to the broadcast announcement, there was still half a day before the city gate could be opened.
The flow of people on the streets was obviously much smaller. Even if someone went out to the streets, they would also specially observe the surrounding environment to see if there was anything wrong.
In the end, everything was normal!
The residents of Yuanshan city were confused. What was Holy Dragon City up to? why did they suddenly close the city gates and everything was still normal in the city?
On second thought, that was not right. The notice only stated that no one was allowed to enter or leave the city gate. Since there was nothing wrong in the city, could there be something wrong outside the city?
More than one person had thought of this, especially the East Gate area mentioned in the notice. Something big might happen!
For a time, the streets were filled with residents who were heading to the East Gate area. After meeting each other on the street, they looked at each other and continued to walk with their heads down. From time to time, they would whisper a few words, looking quite mysterious.
It didn’t take long for the street where the East Gate was located to be overcrowded. The few tallest buildings nearby had long been overcrowded with people. At least a dozen faces were squeezed by the windows.
According to the rules of the flame Empire in the past, the height of the buildings near the city wall could not be higher than the city wall to avoid being disadvantageous to the guards on the city wall. However, as time passed and the form of war changed, this rule was gradually ignored. There was more than one similar building in Yuanshan city.
Because these taverns were built on higher ground, they could clearly see the situation outside the East Gate, which was why it was overcrowded and the business was extremely good!
When he finally managed to squeeze his way up the stairs, he leaned closer to the window to take a look. As expected, the problem was on the hillside at the East Gate.
It was unknown when it had started, but nearly 10000 outsiders had gathered here. Each and every one of them had a strong aura, holding rifles in their hands and carrying long swords on their backs. Even from far away, one could feel the murderous aura coming from them.
Someone was shocked, thinking that they were bandits preparing to attack the city. He couldn’t help but shout, ” “I said that those fierce-looking weirdos on the eastern Hill are not good people. Look, look, I was right!
What are you all waiting for? hurry home and pack up your gold, silver, and valuables, so that you can escape after the city is broken!”
As a result, the moment this person spoke, he immediately attracted many disdainful gazes, as if they were looking at an idiot.
“Take a closer look at the people in the sky. Don’t talk nonsense, okay?”
that’s right, that’s right. If you talk nonsense again, you might be caught by the secret agents and be charged with deluding people’s minds. They’ll throw you into the wilderness to build a railway!
The crowd sneered. The residents who had been clamoring about the bandits ‘attack turned red and craned their necks to take a closer look. Only then did they realize that there were dozens of Holy Dragon City cultivators in black armor floating in the air in the distance.
After seeing this, the man immediately realized that he had made a mistake. If these strange people were really bandits, they would have been killed by the Holy Dragon City cultivators long ago.
Having personally witnessed the battle between the Holy Dragon City and the raging flame Empire, as well as the slaughter between the cultivators from both sides, the residents of Yuanshan city had a deep understanding of the strength of the cultivators from the Holy Dragon City. Even though there were over ten thousand of these strange people, they might not be a match for them if they were to really fight.
Even now, there were still people who remembered the Holy Dragon City cultivators taking out countless bombs during the siege and blowing up the raging flame Empire’s defenders.
It sounded like a fantasy to have dozens of people take down a city, but it was the truth!
