When daylight fell again in Seine City, most of the noise that resounded throughout the night gradually faded and became silent; only the sounds of sporadic fighting in some parts of the city, and the wails of alien beings being killed, were left. Screams were occasionally mixed with rumbling roars.
It was the artillery and engineering troops of the Free Army, besieging and bombarding a stronghold that was stubbornly resisting, or demolishing a building occupied by multiple aliens; but a drizzle of rain began to fall in the sky, as if it was feebly washing away everything that had happened that night. Bringing blood and filth.
For the vast majority of the frightened citizens in Seine City, this tormenting, long and desperate night was finally over. With those aliens breaking in or deformed family members; escaping and hiding in the light of day; they can finally come out.
Holding the mutilated corpses of their family members and crying loudly, or rushing to the streets like crazy to be bathed in the sky and rain, crying and cursing loudly; and when the tallest tower in Ganquan Palace also smiled. The military flag of the golden sun and the royal flag of black tulips.
From far to near, waves of cheers and cheers erupted one after another in the city of Seine; and under the reverberation of these waves, the morale of several other palace buildings in the city that were under siege and still had people resisting endlessly suddenly collapsed. And changed hands one after another.
As the military flag of the Free Army and the royal flag of the new dynasty were raised above Ganquan Palace one after another, the light rain that originally shrouded the city of Seine slowly stopped. The thick and gloomy gray clouds also cracked a gap, revealing beams of bright golden light.
It concentrated on the white spire tower of Ganquan Palace, and also dyed the two flags that had just been raised into a brilliant golden color; it was as if God was using the will of God to consecrate and crown the new owner of Seine City. , full of sacred and sublime meaning and atmosphere.
However, in Ganquan Palace, the largest and most magnificent building, a small part of the area was reduced to ruins. The exquisite and gorgeous palaces, gardens, cloisters and flower gardens of the past collapsed on the ground, or were stained with tragic colors by the ubiquitous corpses and splattered blood.
And among these ruins, you can still see those inhuman existences: from the wolf head with thick fur, to the lizard-shaped man with smooth scales, to the bat beast with two feet and fleshy wings; the corpses and giant human beings with no exposed skin and muscles. Dog beasts, and even a large number of blood demons who are good at using weapons.
Therefore, there are several armed monks among the groups of soldiers, holding various rare objects and sacred objects from the church, taking turns to inspect and search these ruins; to ensure that these aliens are completely dead and not lingering in suspended animation. This is also a gain from the city of Reims.
In the underground secret room where ancient records and documents are stored, there are also many rare objects and sacred objects confiscated through the ages; however, most of them have lost their effectiveness and have been completely forgotten by the senior leaders of the secular church. However, this time it gradually recovered with the changes in the celestial sphere.
Therefore, it was easily sensed and discovered by Jiang Tian's vision panel, and was dug out to see the light of day again. Most of these things are aimed at heterogeneous special effects, so there is no risk of losing control. Therefore, it has become a special equipment for the pious company and the special service company.
Jiang Tian was sitting outside the balcony fence above the audience hall, watching the sergeants filing in below, dragging or carrying out the grotesque corpses one after another. In addition to some alien species, there are also some body parts that cannot be put back together.
Judging from the broken clothes and accessories, these seem to be officials and courtiers seeking refuge here; they are also the last loyalists and supporters of the Burgundian dynasty in a sense. However, I don't know what happened, and it turned out that these strange rations were hidden in Ganquan Palace.
Apart from this, the "Fearless" King John and his members of the Burgundian royal family were no longer found; it was as if they had completely disappeared in this vast palace area after the main entrance was breached. . Therefore, the search for the ruins of the palace continues.
After all, Seine City is a metropolis with hundreds of thousands of people gathered all year round; it is also the capital of the countries in the Western Continent, and together with Rome, Constantine and Madrid, it is also known as a giant city at that time. Therefore, even if it is an inner ring area, it will take a lot of time to search with the existing troops.
During this period, under the command of Duval from the Redemption Knights, Priest Lacha from the Pious Company, and the Grand Mentor/Old Hunter Ajax of the Special Service Company; the discoveries and results of battles that occurred in the city were also constantly gathered in Jiang. In front of him, it turned into instructions again.
For example, in the back garden of another royal palace, Wangyou Palace, there are no longer any living people, and it has turned into a beast's den made of flesh and blood; all kinds of corpses are constantly being born and bred from the piles of corpses. Ghosts and dogs and beasts come. Therefore it can only be given the purification of the flames.
And in the Amadou Palace, which is dotted with more than a dozen exclusive churches, large and small, as well as the cemeteries/cemeteries of past dynasties, where members of the royal family hold major religious ceremonies and sacrifices; it has turned into various skeletal monsters, walking corpses, and withered bones. In the raging hell on earth, the clergy have become sacrifices.
For another example, Rosewood Garden, the most beautiful royal garden in the city, was turned into a death place full of traps and strange snakes and insects by the dying enemy troops inside. It's a pity that these traditional methods can't stop the bombardment of cannons and the burning of fire.
In comparison, the various deformed people who suddenly appeared in the homes of citizens and poor people in urban areas were not worth mentioning at all. In addition to being scary, these grotesque existences are limited by their own foundation and have not been enhanced much in terms of strength, speed, and reaction.
In addition, only the instinct of a beast is left. Therefore, a well-trained soldier can defeat him with his bare hands. After the initial shock and brief confusion, most of the soldiers relied on their fortifications and fortifications to easily suppress and disperse these suddenly deformed citizens.
On the contrary, there are those aliens that emerge from the ground; because of their strange and changeable abilities and strange attack methods, they are difficult to guard against and unable to deal with. Coupled with the enemy troops who attacked in the dark, they were too focused on one thing at the beginning of the battle, and more than a dozen street strongholds were overrun.
The preliminary results and casualties have also been summarized; the enemy's surprise attack and counterattack this night at least caused varying degrees of losses to various Free Army positions in the city. At least five of the companies suffered heavy casualties because they were broken up or disrupted.
At least four regiment-level organizations lost their ability to continue attacking. They can only rest on the spot and turn into garrison troops, waiting for subsequent replenishment and recovery. The overlay and accumulation eventually resulted in the casualties of nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Free Army; there was also the damage of a large number of equipment and supplies.
Even the total casualties paid during the previous attack on Seine City were higher. Despite this, despite the remaining enemies who hurriedly fled into the underground network before dawn, after a night of fierce fighting, the Free Army also achieved its initial goal beyond expectations and occupied the city of Seine under the sun.
Then, Jiang Tian looked at a figure walking over in the distance, escorted by soldiers. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth; he immediately jumped down to the other party and greeted him warmly: "Long time no see, Senior Rafaro. I have really worked hard for you these years."
"In the name of God, may my king's martial arts flourish, and his authority and virtue last forever." Rafaello, who was dressed in gorgeous and decent clothes, stepped forward, respectfully put his hands on his chest, half-kneeled and bowed. : "I am in the company of jackals, and my long-awaited hope has finally come true..."
"Senior, in fact, there is no need to be so angry in private." Jiang Tian laughed and pulled him up: "I am planning to appoint you as the acting mayor of Seine City and concurrently as a member of the Capital Region Control Committee, and then Rebuild the police station and city hall.”
"Thank you for your majesty's trust and importance. I will do my best to live up to your expectations." However, Rafaello was overjoyed when he heard this, but he hesitated and said with an expression on his face: "It's just that I want to ask for a favor from your majesty; It’s about pardoning some people who have helped me.”
"This is a small matter. Then you can report the specific list and reasons and let me take a look." Jiang Tian waved his hands indifferently and said: "However, the middle and high-level personnel in the old City Hall and the Police Department, Without special circumstances and reasons, no one is allowed to stay."
"As for the lower-level inspectors, security officers, and security officers of the police department, or the department directors of various branches of the city hall, it is up to you to decide which ones should be retained, which ones can be promoted or dismissed, which ones need to be laid off, and which ones can still be retained. It needs to be reviewed and reckoned with.”
"Of course, if you have special expertise and skills, or have extremely rich professional experience, and are indispensable in a short period of time, you can also be exempted from some unimportant culpability at your discretion; strive to turn this place into a new one in the shortest possible time. The city’s operations will resume as soon as possible.”
"I will follow your instructions." After hearing this, Rafaro breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously for this key position and important responsibility, the clearer the instructions from the superior, the easier it will be for him to do things: "In this way, I can finally be freed and return to my original identity."
"Actually, I have another idea." However, Jiang Tian smiled slightly at him and said: "Senior, have you cultivated a lot of connections and connections in the Internet cafes in the capital over the years? I don't think it will be abandoned here; you can completely use it. He overstepped his status as a ceremonial official of the dynasty and surrendered."
"In this way, you can also have a relatively decent explanation for your new wife and those who have gathered behind you. It will also make it easier for you to take the opportunity to request and save some people's homes; perhaps, in the not-too-distant future , can it also play an unexpected role?"
"I understand!" Rafaro took a deep breath after hearing this: Obviously, this scheming king wants to use his cover identity to continue to fish out the hidden old aristocratic forces in the city. Then he said in an exaggerated manner: "Please, the great knight king, accept the surrender of the tyrannical official!"
At the same time, the ranger posts posted on the outskirts of the city also galloped back with news about a large group of enemy troops approaching from the south.
