Chapter 211: The Destroyed Iron City 3
The four of them had no intention of sleeping, and the battle in the city was quite worrying to them - they couldn't take part in it. Once you rashly participate, your own safety will not be discussed for the time being, once the news of the participation of the floating continenters in it spreads after the battle is over, it is impossible to estimate what kind of consequences will be produced, and under the planning and propaganda of some people with ulterior motives, it is not necessary to cause greater casualties - after all, the floating continent must take care of its own reputation, and the floating continenters will definitely get back the "unfair" treatment they encounter on the surface...... Thinking of this, Phantom Dream didn't have the courage to intervene. Kindness is good, but to say that kindness leads to more bloodshed and sacrifice is putting the cart before the horse.
The constant sound of explosions also made the four of them have no idea of sleeping at all. It's just a sound, but the ground is expected to shake in the town. Every time the sound sounded, it hit the heartstrings of the four people.
The evacuation of the people is almost underway - people don't care about exhaustion or anything in times of crisis. The people flocked to the outside of the city, but given the height of the hillside, they probably wouldn't have chosen to come here. It should be in the direction of the capital—Phantom thought and glanced over there. Sure enough, some of the fast-runners had already left the city and were heading for the capital by night. Will they be able to sustain such a long road......
The battle continued in the city - the soldiers in the city had almost all shrunk to the center of the town, relying on the buildings for defense, but the buildings were not professional defensive structures after all, and they were quickly collapsing one by one under the bombardment of artillery and magic - and the soldiers were in even worse condition.
Still, the command looked quite efficient - having found resistance useless, quickly began to organize the army for retreat. Now that this city is completely undefensible, it is better to quickly retain the living force and prepare for the battle that follows.
The evacuation process of those soldiers can be said to be orderly - this level of military mobility must be ensured when the chain of command is in place. After the withdrawal of the Iron City's troops, the enemy forces completely occupied the city.
Fight...... It should be over. Dream sighed, looking at the flames in the city, the retreating army, and the fleeing people, feeling the cruelty of the war.
However, the battle is not quite over.
Suddenly there were fires in several parts of the city—there were no troops to attack there, no artillery to hit them, and the flames seemed to appear abruptly, but in fact it was not difficult to understand - yes, it must have been.
Those flames were set by the retreating army. Some of the soldiers did not leave, but arrived at the storage point of supplies in the town. In this case, there is certainly no way to take away the supplies, and although they cannot be taken away, they cannot be cheapened by the enemy. Just put a big fire and burn them all to ashes.
However, fires are not extinguished when supplies are burned. After burning the supplies, the flames spread to the surrounding houses—some of the inhabitants did not flee the town, and now they were killed.
This is war...... Dream sat helplessly on the magic bed.
The wind blowing through is cold, but the feeling of cold can make people tell that they are still alive.
