Chapter 754. The nobles in Tanton City
In fact, what I expected didn't happen.

The Duke of Samoyed did not vent his anger on the Marquis of Armand because the army of Tanton City huddled in the city and did not dare to come out until the victory of the war.There was no accusation against Earl Horace for fleeing the battle, and the Constructed Knights entered Tanton City during the day.

Afterwards, the warriors of Trum and the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment reached 500 in total. In the afternoon, they also entered the breached outer city of Tanton City, which seemed to be in ruins. They captured the outer city of Tanton City, and slaughtered nearly half of the poor in the outer city in just half a day.

The first task of the Trum fighters and the heavy armored infantry soldiers entering the outer city was to clean up the streets of the city.

If the corpses in the city are not disposed of in time, a large-scale plague or infectious disease will break out in the city, so the cleaning work within the city is imminent. It is naturally impossible for those noble construction knights to do this kind of work. Therefore, among the miscellaneous chores, it fell on the soldiers of Trum and the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment again.

The soldiers and the clerk of the logistics department are mainly responsible for cleaning each house in the outer city one by one, ensuring that there are no spider warriors or giant spiders lurking in the streets and alleys, every street and every courtyard. This is a very tedious and meticulous task. cleaning work.

So during the period of entering Tanton City, Knight Disraeli and the commander of the third battalion became very busy all of a sudden. Even Felix, the quartermaster, was sought by the Duke several times, and everyone seemed busy.

Tanton City is divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is like a city within a city. This layout is a bit like St. Louis. The inner city also has strong walls. In Tanton City, the poor and the rich live The area of ​​the city is clearly divided, almost all nobles and knights live in the rich area, and the poor area has a free market, auction house, mule and horse market, slave market and other places where mermaids mix, and many small merchants and peddlers are mixed in the outer city poor area among.

The outer city is mainly inhabited by immigrants from Durva Province, merchants from all over the Green Empire, local aborigines and various unknown adventurers.

Immigrants from Durva Province are the largest group of people in the outer city. They are the most important people who support the social structure of the outer city. They are some ordinary poor and some homeless people without land. There is no land in Durva Province of the Green Empire. and real estate, living at the bottom of society.When they immigrated to the Yero plane, they could get some subsidies from the Duke of Samoyed, allowing them to have a residence of their own.

Secondly, there are some small merchants living in the outer city. They are a group of merchants who came from various parts of the Grimm Empire, but they do not belong to those large merchant groups. The category is very single, and the cost is generally very small. They transport the goods thousands of miles to the Yero plane. Naturally, it is impossible to spend high prices to buy expensive residences in the inner city. Generally, these small traders will choose to rent houses in the poor areas of the outer city. , As long as you sell the goods in your hand, you will immediately buy some local specialties and transport them back to the Grimm Empire for the price difference.

In addition, some adventurers also choose to live in the outer city. Although the outer city of many cities is mixed with fish and dragons, and the law and order are not good, all kinds of trading markets are basically established in the outer city. Many adventure groups choose to live in the outer city. The reason is very simple, because it is convenient, no matter what kind of goods are traded, it is very convenient. The slave market, auction house and mule and horse market are the favorite places for various adventure groups to visit.

Finally, there are a certain number of slaves in the outer city. In the city of Tanton, these slaves are almost all local aborigines captured by the slavers, and there are also slaves of other races brought back from the Green Empire by the auction house, but these slaves After all, the number of people is a minority.

After the spider warriors broke through Tanton City, they entrenched in the outer city for half a day. Then, the Duke of Samoyed returned to Tanton City with the Constructed Knights. Only giant spiders remain in the outer city.

It was these giant spiders that killed nearly half of the population in the outer city in three days. The giant spiders turned all the poor and slaves into white silk cocoons. It's a pity that the spider warriors were defeated, and the giant spiders didn't care about these silk cocoons, and fled south in a hurry.

There are coffin-like white silk cocoons in many places in the outer city. Generally, these cocoons are very tough and will not be easily cut by sharp tools. Inside each silk cocoon is almost a corroded skeleton. Corpses, the soldiers unwrapped these corpses from the white spider webs, and loaded them on carts one by one, so that the surviving poor saw these corpses being pulled out of the city by carts, and then found a cemetery to burn them all .

Another duty of the Trum fighters is to maintain law and order.

The entire outer city has been completely messed up by the spiders. Those giant spiders are only interested in hunting humans. They are the servants of the Nibru spider warriors, and they only know how to hunt enough food.Giant spiders have slaughtered many humans, but they have no interest in the property in the slums, so many materials are left intact.

After the outer city was regained, a lot of materials became ownerless. In order to prevent some people from making such national wealth, the fighters of Trum and the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment will carefully inspect the surviving personnel in the outer city. After checking and verifying that they are correct, their property can be returned, and those unowned items will become the public property of Tanton City.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the Duke of Samoyed didn't assign the soldiers who were originally stationed in Tanton City to be responsible for the security of Tanton City. Maybe those defenders of Tanton City were frightened by the spiders, or this is Samoyed. The purpose of Duke Ye's deliberate appointment was to prevent those Tanton City guards who had made no contribution in this war from gaining any benefits.

After all, at this time, this kind of security work in the outer city is almost a kind of welfare for the soldiers. After all, several large markets are located in the outer city, and there are all kinds of shops in it. After the war, it is very normal to lose any property thing.

In order to restrain the money-making attitude of his soldiers as much as possible, the Disraeli knights patrolled the streets and alleys conscientiously.From counting the survivors to verifying the identity of the survivors, from tidying up and cleaning the streets to rebuilding the streets after the war, there are almost all the shadows of Disraeli Knights.

……

Those master knights who built the Knights rested in the city of Tanton for a night, and then were sent out of the city by the Duke of Samoyed. It is said that they went all the way south to clean up the fleeing spider warriors who were discarded on the way. With the giant spiders, I think this is the most conservative pursuit of victory.

After entering Tanton City, Qige and I became the most leisurely people. Due to our status as magicians and aristocrats, we were naturally placed in the inner city. I am just an ordinary magic student in the Royal Academy of Magic. Although I can be regarded as a magician with a bright future, this status is not enough for a Duke to summon me in person.

For some reason, it seems that the things that Qige and I did in Trume stronghold were deliberately concealed.

Otherwise, just based on what we did in the Trume stronghold, the Duke of Samoyed can negotiate with us in person.

Since the inner city of Tanton City was not occupied, the nobles living in the inner city were not looted, and the nobles living here still lived a comfortable life. Although they were still a little frightened every day, after all, the Duke of Samoyed personally sat in Tanton City. City, so the daily life of the nobles here is still very leisurely.

These nobles are thinking about one thing every day, and that is the attitude of the Duke of Samoyed towards the destruction of Tanton City. After all, these nobles are not fools. No matter how harsh the duke's son is, he is a father-son relationship after all!
But what about the nobles in Tanton City?

It is inevitable that there will be a judgment of weak defense. After all, the Duke of Samoyed spent countless efforts to build this Tanton City. The first batch of immigrants in Tanton City was organized by the Duke of Samoyed. Yes, more than half of the population of the outer city has been lost at once. After the war, those businessmen and adventurers will leave here one after another. It is hard to say how much Tanton City has lost.

It is estimated that there must be a day when these things will be settled after the fall. The nobles in Tanton City naturally know what kind of performance they have performed in this war, so the recent trend of public opinion in the inner city is also about the Duke of Samoyed. In good or bad mood.

The house where Qig and I lived in the inner city was originally the residence of a noble baron. According to Brandon, the baron was a knight and served as an officer in the infantry regiment under the Duke of Samoyed. The Corps encountered a spiderman in the forest, and now even the number has been cancelled.The baron’s family members all live in the Green Empire, and he is usually the only one living here. Now his small yard is temporarily lent to us. This is specially arranged by the quartermaster Brandon. I have to say that the logistics department We have a friend, which is really a very comfortable thing.

Today's Tanton City, the inner city and the outer city are very different, as if one side is heaven and the other is hell.

The aristocrats in the inner city can still live a life of luxury and good food every day with fear, but the residents of the outer city are now rebuilding their homes in grief.

Because we don't have to worry about the Duke of Samoyed's settlement, Qige and I are part of the most relaxed group.

Qige didn't have the idea of ​​leaving Tanton City in a hurry. She took me to wander around the inner city almost every day.

What else is there in the inner city besides one noble mansion after another?The answer is: some magic item stores, magic herb stores, Warcraft material stores, etc.

But at this time, I think that almost no one in the inner city will be in the mood to visit these magic shops like Qige and I.

As a scholar of magic potions, Qige cares most about the unique magic herbs on the Hierro plane.

Walking on the deserted street, I saw that there were only some costumed knights passing by on horseback from time to time, and those nobles were almost huddled at home. No one dared to come out and run around at this time, only me and Qige Wearing magic robes, the two swaggered past on the street with their followers and maids.

The inner city of Tanton City is indeed a city where nobles live. The street trees on the streets are all planted with some precious indigo trees. Every 50 meters there will be a black and simple street lamp. These street lamps are probably made of some moonstone wicks. With crystal lampshades, the streets are covered with flat and smooth marble slabs, and every street looks so clean and tidy. Katerina, Takama, Kalan Co and the Tauren Luka followed me and Qi quietly. behind grid.

Pushing open the door of a magic herb shop, Qige walked in first, and the shop owner standing in the counter looked at us in surprise, he didn't seem to have thought that there would be customers coming at this time Go shopping.

It's just that on the shelves in his shop, there are not many types of magic herbs. The shelves of herbs that can make healing potions are empty, only white labels are stuck on the shelves. The magical herbs unique to noodles are piled up on the shelves, and it seems that no one cares about them.

Qige walked up with a smile, without saying a word, pursing her lips, casually picked up a sage plant and put it under her nose to smell it.

"Two distinguished guests, do you need anything?" The shop owner cheered up and asked Qige and me when he saw a guest coming in, his eyes lit up.

Qige said casually: "We just took a look!"

Her voice was so sweet that the shop owner couldn't help but look into her hood twice. When he saw Qige's exquisite face, his eyes became a little dull.

It took a long time to recover. Obviously, the shop owner had seen some scenes. He knew that his reckless behavior made the female magician on the opposite side a little dissatisfied, so he was punished slightly. How dare he look around at this time? , hurriedly looked away, turned to me with a wry smile and said: "If the two guests want to buy some magic materials for healing potions, it will be in vain. I have sold out of them a month ago."

"Now there are only some sage that is unique to the Hierro plane left in the shop. If the two of you are interested, the price can be negotiated." The shop owner said with a sigh.

Qige's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Oh, how do you sell this kind of mature sage?"
