Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 541 Tentative
When daylight fell on the city of Senna again, most of the noise that resounded throughout the night gradually subsided and fell silent; only the sounds of sporadic fighting in some urban areas, and the wailing of aliens being killed, There were screams, occasionally mixed with rumbling roars.

It was the artillery and engineers of the Freedom Army, who were besieging and bombarding a stubborn stronghold, or blasting buildings occupied by multiple aliens; Bring blood and filth.

And for the vast majority of the frightened citizens in Seine City, this tormenting and long desperate night finally came to an end.With the aliens or deformed family members who broke in; fleeing 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 madly to the street, bathed in skylight and rainwater, crying and cursing loudly; and when the highest tower in Ganquan Palace also raised a smiling face The golden sun's military flag and the black tulip's king's flag.

The city of Seine was approaching from far to near, bursting out bursts of cheering noises; under the reverberation of such noises, the morale of several other palace buildings in the city that were under siege and still had people fighting endlessly also collapsed. And changed hands one after another.

As the military flag of the Free Army and the royal flag of the new dynasty were hoisted over the Ganquan Palace one after another, the light rain that had originally shrouded the city of Seine gradually stopped.The thick and gloomy gray-white 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 like using the will of heaven to consecrate and crown the new owner of Seine City , full of sacred and lofty meaning and atmosphere.

However, in the largest and most magnificent Ganquan Palace, a small half of the area has been turned into ruins.The exquisite and magnificent palaces, gardens, corridors and flower beds of the past collapsed to the ground, or were stained into tragic colors by the ubiquitous corpses and spattered blood.

And among these ruins, there are still those inhuman existences: from wolf heads with thick fur, to lizards with smooth scales, to bat beasts with fleshy wings on two feet; ghouls and giant monsters without skin and muscles. Dogs and beasts, and even a large number of blood demons who are good at using weapons.

Therefore, some armed warriors among the crowds of soldiers are holding all kinds of strange objects and sacred objects from the church, checking and searching these ruins in turn; to ensure that these aliens are completely dead and not lingering in suspended animation.This is also the harvest from Lance City.

In the underground secret room where the ancient records are stored, there are also many strange objects and holy artifacts confiscated in the past dynasties; it's just that most of them have been lost to service, and have been completely forgotten by the secular church.However, this time it gradually recovered with the change of the celestial sphere.

Therefore, it was easily sensed and discovered by Jiang Tian's vision panel by accident, and it was dug out to see the light of day again.And most of these things are for special effects of different types, so there is no risk of losing control.Therefore, it has become a special equipment for devout company and special service company.

And Jiang Tian was sitting outside the fence of the terrace above the audience hall, watching the sergeants filing in below, dragging or carrying out one after another the strangely shaped corpses.In addition to some of the aliens, there are also some remains of corpses that can no longer be put together.

Judging from the broken dress ornaments, these seem to be officials and courtiers who have sought refuge here; they are also the last batch of loyalists and supporters of the Burgundian dynasty in a sense.However, for some unknown reason, they were reduced to hiding these strange rations in Ganquan Palace.

In addition, the "Fearless" King John and his members of the Burgundian royal family were no longer found; it seemed that after the main entrance was breached, they disappeared completely in this vast palace area. .Therefore, the search for the ruins of the palace continues.

After all, the city of Seine is a metropolis with a population of tens of thousands of people all year round; it is also the capital of the countries in the Western Continent, together with Rome, Constantine and Madrid; it was also called a giant city for a while.Therefore, even if it is an inner ring area, it will take a long time to search with the existing troops.

During this period, under the command of Duval from the Redemption Knights, the Priest Lacha of the Pious Company, and the Great Mentor/Old Hunter of the Special Service Company, Ajax; In front of him; it became a series of instructions again.

For example, in the back garden of Wangyou Palace, another royal palace, there are no longer any living people, and it has become a beast den made of flesh and blood; various corpses are constantly being born from the numerous bones. Ghosts and dogs and beasts come.Therefore, only the purification of flames can be granted.

In the Emmadu Palace, where there are more than a dozen exclusive churches, large and small, and the cemetery/cemetery of successive dynasties, where members of the royal family hold major religious ceremonies and sacrifices; it has become various skeletons, walking corpses, and dead bones In the raging hell on earth, the clergy have become sacrifices.

Another example is the Rosewood Garden, the most beautiful royal garden in the city; it was turned into a place of death full of traps and strange snakes and insects by the dying enemy soldiers in it.It's a pity that none of these traditional methods can stop the bombardment of cannons and the burning of fire.

In contrast, all kinds of deformed people who suddenly appeared in the homes of the citizens and poor people in the urban area are not worth mentioning at all.In addition to being scary, these grotesque existences are limited by their own foundation, and their strength, speed, and reaction have not been strengthened much.

In addition, only the instinct of a beast is left.Therefore, a well-trained soldier can defeat it with bare hands.After the initial shock and brief confusion, most of the soldiers relied on the fortifications and fortifications to easily suppress and disperse these suddenly deformed citizens.

On the contrary, it is those alien species that emerged from the ground; because of their weird and changeable abilities and strange attack methods, it is hard to guard against and cannot be dealt with.Coupled with the enemy troops who attacked in the dark, they lost sight of one another at the beginning of the battle, and were overwhelmed by more than a dozen street strongholds.

The initial battle results and casualties were also summarized; the surprise attack and counterattack from the enemy this night at least caused the Freedom Army's various positions in the city, with varying degrees of losses.Among them, at least five companies suffered heavy casualties due to the collapse or disruption of the organizational system.

At least four regiment-level organizations have lost the ability to continue to attack.We can only rest on the spot and turn into a garrison force, waiting for subsequent replenishment and recovery.The superposition and accumulation of front and back finally caused the casualties of nearly 3000 soldiers of the Free Army; there was also damage to a large number of equipment and materials.

It was even higher than the sum of casualties paid in the previous attack on Senna City.Even so, excluding the remnants of the enemies who hurriedly fled into the underground network tunnel before dawn, after this night of fierce fighting, the Freedom Army also surpassed expectations and achieved its initial goal, occupying the city of Seine in the sun.

Afterwards, Jiang Tian saw a figure walking over under the escort of soldiers in the distance.A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth; he immediately jumped down in front of the other party, and greeted him warmly: "Long time no see, Senior Rafaro. You have worked hard for me these years."

"God is above, may my king's martial arts prosper, authority and virtue last forever." Rafalo, who was dressed in a gorgeous and decent way, strode forward, respectfully put his hands on his chest, half kneeled and bowed in salute : "The servants are in the company of wolves, and the long-awaited hope is finally here..."

"Senior, in fact, there is no need to be so famous in private." Jiang Tian laughed and pulled him up: "I am planning to appoint you as the acting mayor of Seine City and a member of the Capital Region Control Committee, and then Rebuild the Police Department and City Hall."

"Thank you for your majesty's trust and trust. I will do my best to live up to your expectations." However, Rafaro was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he hesitated to speak and said, "It's just that I want to ask your majesty for a favor; It is whether some people who have helped me can be pardoned."

"It's a trivial matter. Then you report the specific list and reasons, and let me take a look." Jiang Tian waved his hand indifferently: "However, the middle and high-level personnel in the old city hall and the police department, If there are no special circumstances and reasons, none of them are allowed to stay."

"As for the inspector general, police officer, and security officer at the lower level of the Police Department, or the department directors of the various branches of the city hall, it is up to you to decide which ones will continue to be retained, which ones can be promoted and dropped out, which ones need to be eliminated and dismissed, and which ones will remain It needs to be reviewed and cleared."

"Of course, if you have special expertise and skills, or are extremely rich in professional experience, and are indispensable in a short period of time, you can also exempt some unimportant crimes as appropriate; try to clear this place in the shortest possible time. The functioning of the city will be restored as soon as possible."

"Follow your instructions." Rafaro heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words.Obviously, for such a key position and important responsibilities, the clearer the instructions from the superior, the easier it is for him to do things: "In this way, I can finally be free and return to my original identity."

"Actually, I still have an idea." However, Jiang Tian smiled at him and said, "Senior, you have cultivated a lot of contacts and networks in Wangdu over the years? I don't think they will be discarded just yet; it can be used To usurp the status of the ceremonial officer of the dynasty and cast it into effect."

"In this way, you can also have a relatively decent account of your new wife and those who once gathered behind you. It will also be convenient for you to take the opportunity to ask to save some families; perhaps, in the not-too-distant future , can it still play an unexpected role?"

"I understand!" Rafaro took a deep breath when he heard the words: Obviously, this strategic king wanted to use his cover identity to continue fishing out the old aristocratic forces hidden in the city.Immediately he exaggerated and said: "The great knight king, please accept the vote of the criminals!"

At the same time, the ranger police posts placed on the outskirts of the city also galloped to bring back news that a large enemy army was approaching in the south.
