Become a martial girl

Chapter 560 A short break

"That's... a gift from the goddess...!"

The giant white dragon let out a roar that shook the earth, and the waves that almost covered the walls of the empire rushed over from the distant mountain peaks.The walls closest to the flood borne the brunt of the brunt, but the strong walls finally stood firm before the blast of destruction.After blocking the first wave of impact, the moat instantly swelled, and the flood not only destroyed the bridges, but the overflowing river rolled towards the camp of the undead soldiers under the encouragement of the torrential rain.Almost in an instant, the vast plain just turned into a vast ocean, and those undead soldiers who were deprived of their regenerative ability also stopped their hypocritical breathing under the flood.

The city of Luwell was built on a small high ground, and the flood did not climb up.The soldiers guarding the city looked at the monstrous river and cheered heartily!
Yes, they should indeed cheer.For they won, and with the Flood submerged, for the first time, mankind won the most precious victory in the battle of the undead army.People grabbed flagpoles and supported each other.The overwhelming rain fell on them like rain, making people intoxicated.

"Yes! Ken and Brett must have gone to open the floodgate! They succeeded! They are our heroes! Heroes of the Luwell Empire!"

Someone in the noisy crowd suddenly gave a reminder, and the cheering crowd immediately shut up, looking forward to the mountain peak where the flood came.Countless lines of sight scanned the sky, hoping to see two heroic flying dragons and two heroic dragon knights appearing in the sky.

When all the soldiers were intoxicated, a big tree broken by the flood slowly floated over.Due to the problem of water flow, it did not float towards the return of the heroes who were eagerly waiting to open the sluice at the gate of the city, but inadvertently, it flowed to the back of the wall, and drifted along the wall to the plain.

However, two heads protruded from the dense branches, and the two pairs of white ears led the big tree to swim continuously towards the city wall.Those two heads seemed to be very tired, helpless like a leaf in the still raging flood.He was about to rush into the city wall several times, but was swept away by the flood and could not get close.

"Oh, what a poor little lamb."

Xio didn't know when he had already stood on the city wall closest to the tree, looking at the big tree that was suddenly far away and near with a smile on his face.But the people standing next to him didn't think so.After seeing the ears protruding from the back of the big tree, another blond man among them took off his coat without saying a word, took off the family's Emperor's Sword, and jumped into the raging river.

"Mr. Mulla, maybe you like to take the opportunity to say some jokes, but at this time, can I ask you to do me a favor and talk again?"

The elf princess next to her picked up her staff, and a soft wind magic circle had emerged under her feet.She controlled the wind, allowing the flow of air to help the tree as much as possible.Seeing this, Xio smiled slightly, then raised his staff and recited the freezing spell.

Dragging the branches, the blond prince swam desperately along the direction of the wind towards the frozen river near the city wall.On that tree, the girl seemed to be exhausted, lying on the trunk and no longer slapping the water.And another warrior with a beautiful white fur was also unable to act due to excessive consumption.

————————————————————————

The soldiers in the distance were still cheering, but here, everything seemed so peaceful.Mengdie was pulled ashore by Edward. With the support of Sasara, Hugh, and Edward, she and White Wolf walked up the city wall along the ice ladder made by Hugh, and placed Mengdie and White Wolf on the city wall.Facing the pouring rain, Mengdie, who had fallen into a semi-comatose state, kept panting, exhausted all over, and couldn't even move a finger.

Xio straightened up and touched the sweat on his forehead, then turned his head to look at the cheers over there.He lowered his head, looked at the half-dead girl beside him, smiled and said: "Miss Mengdie, listen, there are all voices cheering for you. But now, you, a hero, are lying here panting It’s rude, isn’t it a bit inelegant?”

Edward looked up sharply.His golden pupils were filled with the desire to protect the girl.

"Hugh, please don't say a few words."

Hugh shrugged and stopped talking.

Mengdie spat out a few mouthfuls of river water, and the cheers and victories in the distance seemed to have nothing to do with her.She braced her body to straighten up, looked at the raging flood, and asked, "Did you succeed...?"

"Yes, you succeeded, Sister Mengdie." It was Aiya who answered Mengdie.She had been standing by the city wall with her sister for quite some time.As agreed, the sisters are just observers.There were no traces of fighting on their bodies, and even their shoes were so clean, as if they had just stepped into the mud not long ago.

"Sister Mengdie! You succeeded~~~! The undead army has been washed away by the flood, you saved this city! Saved all human beings!" This time it was Nia who spoke.She danced happily, looking beaming.

"Saved...everyone...?"

Mengdie turned her head away and looked at the floods.But there was no excitement in her eyes, nor any joy of victory.On the contrary, there is only seriousness and earnestness in her eyes.

"not enough……"

Mengdie struggled, and Edward quickly held her shoulders and helped her sit up.

"It's not enough... This kind of flood... will subside in half a month... At that time... we will... have no danger to defend..."

"Yes. According to the strength of this heavy rain and flood, the flood will slow down in the next three days. Then it will retreat to a relatively low position. Then it will gradually descend within 20 days, exposing some of the surface. However, due to the flood Therefore, I estimate that there will be more rivers near the city wall. The loosening of the soil also makes the foundation of the city wall weak, and the next attack, the city wall may no longer be able to withstand the battle. And this city of Luwell , will be exposed to the eyes of the enemy like a naked baby."

Hugh was right.The joy that had shrouded everyone just now was completely dissipated as if being washed away by the flood.But looking at Mengdie's eyes, she seemed to have guessed the ending a long time ago, and the color in her eyes was serious, but not at all discouraged.

"Sister Mengdie, what do you want to do?" Aiya asked.

Mengdie gritted her teeth: "One month..."

"There's still a month left, enough. Even if I can't turn the tide of the battle with my own strength, this battle is not just a battle for the Luwell Empire! It will be successful... as long as you can persist until the morning after 30 days, This battle... I will definitely reverse it and show those demons!"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.No one knew why this young girl was so confident.But no one asked, because it was not a question that could be asked.If she says she's going to stick to it for 30 days, then go ahead and stick to it for 30 days.Before that, it is necessary to build the city before the flood floods, so that the next battle will increase the odds of winning even a hair!

——————————————————————————————

Sure enough, it was as Mengdie expected.The short-lived victory did not turn the real situation around.In the following time, the floodwater receded slowly, and cracks appeared on the mottled walls soaked in water.The short-lived joy also disappeared from the sky above Luwell City as the flood receded...

The victory of the first battle came at a heavy price.According to statistics that Sasara secretly asked Father Cotton to conduct, nearly 1 soldiers died out of [-].Most of the remaining [-] soldiers were injured.Some are still seriously injured.

Out of a hundred dragon knights, only six of them survived the battle.And the two heroic dragon knights who were the first to be passed down by the soldiers did not come back in the end.

Countless houses were destroyed, and most of the defense weapons were destroyed.The collapsed buildings collapsed in the city like the corpses of giants, and the once magnificent amphitheater has now become a wreck with one side missing.People who lost their homes set up simple tents in Central Park. While looking at the depression in the city, they drank the cold hot water and stared blankly at the sky.

The funeral, in the days following the battle, was hurriedly held.In addition to the fallen soldiers, there were countless militiamen and mercenaries.Their families sobbed softly at the simple funeral, and no one relished the joy of victory.In those few days, the rain over Luwell City became heavier.

Will humans be punished for exploiting nature?
In the last few days of the month that is coming to an end, Mengdie has been thinking about this question.Not because of anything else, but because of the sequelae of that flood.

At first glance, the flood saved the people of Lowell.But during the time it passed by, it also brought damp and flooding into the already overwhelmed city of Luwell.Coupled with the war, the dead became a breeding ground for dysentery in the rancid dirty water.Infectious diseases began to erupt very rapidly.And people who lost their homes became the best targets for those plagues to devour.Therefore, apart from the war, the city of Luwell was once again engulfed by the plague, corroding people's will.

"Okay, next one!"

In a simple tent, Mengdie and Sasara were standing and sitting respectively.A purple child sat in front of Sasara, and her mother looked at Sasara with concern.And Mengdie poured out a cup of hot water for the mother and her child.

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Sarah took off her stethoscope and she looked like a real nun in her nun's veil.

"Your child will be fine, as long as you take the medicine on time, you will be fine."
