In the early morning, the wind and snow from the far west had not yet reached Starwind City, and the streets were shrouded in mist.
The explosion of the space-time gate destroyed Elrath Cathedral, the City Lord's Palace, and everything around the square.
In the rubble-strewn square, there are a large number of rare gods' resources such as dragon blood crystals and fine gold and mithril piled up. Research mages gathered together to study the plan to repair the time and space gate.
At the southern end of the square, a spacious house with less damage was temporarily transformed into the Lord's Hall.
Li Ran was sitting on the throne at the end of the hall, with a map of the Saran continent hanging on the wall behind him.
It was still early, and the visitors from all parties had not yet arrived, so Li Ran had already started the work of the lord. After a battle with the Broken Star Army, the Fengling Plain was devastated, and everything was in ruins.
Fortunately, in the resurrection plan he formulated, Huangmu Town, as an important production base and defense node, survived the war, had abundant material reserves, and could be put into production again soon.
At the same time, although the space-time gate has not yet been repaired, the Yinla River route is still maintaining the fragile connection between the Starwind Territory and the pioneering area.
After the war, Ron took a gryphon to return home. Under his order, the Wolf Principality sent a large number of personnel and materials to the Fengling Plain via cargo ships on the Yinla River.
As the outer territory of Star Wind Territory, Savage City is continuously transfusing blood to the severely damaged Wind Spirit Plain.
Just as Li Ran was reading the report submitted by the Government Affairs Department, a cup of steaming tea suddenly appeared on the table.
A warm current surged into his heart. He had not felt this way for a long time. Li Ran raised his head and saw Eureka's beautiful face.
"Thank you, Eureka. You clearly have the blood of the gryphon royal family, but you still insist on following me."
"What are you talking about?" Eureka said angrily, "You created the Star Wind Territory with your own hands. With just Griffin's bloodline, I can't handle such a complicated situation like you... .”
Her tone became gentle: "Don't worry, I will be by your side no matter what."
Looking at the gentle and lovely guardian knight, Li Ran couldn't help but feel a little moved. He said softly: "The Star Wind Territory is only a small part of the Griffin Principality. As long as we regain the old territory of the Principality, we can use it in the name of the Griffin Principality." Join the Star Council... Eureka, how is the situation over there in Beifong Town?"
"The news came from Muraziel that the Hasima people have arrived in Beifeng Town, and part of the Wolf Army left by Ron is still on the way. They have been through a series of battles and need more rest time. Others accept It will take three or four days for the hired adventer guild to arrive at the assembly point, and she plans to lead the Northern Expedition to set off in five days and invade the Talengad area."
"Very good," Li Ran said, "The number of broken star creatures that fled is limited. Even if they escape to Tallengard, they will still be unable to defend the empty city with their remaining soldiers. This time, we can recapture Tallengard in one fell swoop and then march north. , Recover large areas of territory in occupied areas.”
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he continued to ask: "How are those descendants who did not join the coalition forces doing now?"
Eureka introduced:
"Mr. Mullen has just recovered from his injury and has returned to his job as Grand Praetor. At your request, the Government Affairs Department has quickly completed reforms and issued a series of new policies based on the characteristics of the descendants.
According to feedback from governors in various places, the Adventors stranded in the Starwind Territory are quickly integrating into local production and life and becoming an active force in territory construction. They are willing to clean up the broken star creatures around the town, help residents rebuild their homes, and participate in production. At present, we No citizens have died due to attacks by the descendants.
However, several cases of aggravated assault and robbery also occurred during this process, and our strict handling of the crimes committed by descendants served as a good warning. "
Li Ran couldn't help but sigh: "Ma Lun is an excellent consul who has made immeasurable contributions to the Star Wind Leader. Unlike the idle nobles in the pioneer area, he has brought out a high-quality consul. If there is no effective management of the official team, the descendants will bring unimaginable chaos and destruction."
Step, step, step——
A sound of footsteps sounded in the hall.
Li Ran turned around and saw the silver-haired Yin Besi walking alone to the front of the hall.
"Yin Beisi, you are here..."
Before Li Ran finished speaking, the dark elf suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Lord, please punish me," Yin Bessi said in a bitter voice, "The city was devastated because I failed to protect the space-time gate."
"Don't say that," Li Ran hurriedly helped Yin Beisi up: "You have tried your best. Besides, your duty is to maintain the normal operation of the time and space gate, not to resist attacks on the time and space gate. No one expected that the enemy would use such insidious methods. Use the method to blow up the space-time gate."
Hearing this, Yin Beisi's eyes darkened.
When the big explosion occurred, she and the mages from the Magic Energy Technology Department were inspecting the underground energy transmission node near the time and space gate. When they discovered that the magic environment was abnormal, they only saw the source power orb on the verge of exploding emitting blazing light.
It was too late, so they had to cast spells collectively to create a powerful shield.
At the critical moment, it was Tia who rushed to the front of the Source Power Orb regardless of her own safety. In Yin Beisi's frightened eyes, the angel stretched out her hand to touch the source of the disaster and tried her best to prevent the explosion.
She failed, but the strong body of the seventh-level angel blocked part of the shock wave from escaping, absorbed a large amount of destructive energy, and reduced the damage caused by the explosion to the surrounding people.
When Yin Besi woke up from the coma caused by the explosion, she only saw the angel falling and lying powerlessly on the broken ground.
Perhaps Mullen, Charles and others were able to survive the explosion because of the angel's final dedication.
"Eureka, let's go see her together."
Li Ran said in a low voice.
