Chapter 202 202 Everything is over"Have you heard? We have declared war with Alanhill again." Inside the sluggish tavern, A man from the Holy Demon Emperor country was leaning on the bar, looking at the empty seats with boredom, full of despair at his extremely bad business.
He is a tavern owner. When the economy is good, everyone is willing to come to this tavern for a drink. Now that the war broke out, the Alanhill railway workers who used to frequent this tavern have been slaughtered. So the business is deserted and people want to cry.
After scolding that stupid Grand Consul a thousand times in his heart, this poor commoner of the Holy Demon Emperor chose to support the war. After all, he feels that he is a citizen of the Holy Demon Emperor, not Alanhill...
There are not a few people in the town who think like him. Everyone is reluctant to go to war with Alanhill. After the outbreak of the war, he had no choice but to support his motherland. They themselves or sent their children to the battlefield, to the border war-torn areas.
I heard that Alanhill's counterattack was not as intense as imagined, so in the first two days, everyone's worries gradually eased. Many people believed that Alanhill's successor was weak. , there is no ability to attack the Holy Demon Emperor.
There was a kind of feeling of escape, and everyone began to resume their daily lives. Except for the closure of a leather shoe factory in a small town, no one noticed that life was any different.
And the leather shoe factory that closed down, I heard, also deserved it. The old man who ran the factory was originally an elder in this town, and he was respected and made a lot of money with everyone.
But who knows what this Old Guy is doing, he even hid 30 railway workers in his factory when the war broke out. As a result, his neighbors reported that he was covering up the enemy, so the old man and the 30 railway workers were burned to death by the dragon's breath.
"Yeah, I heard that things can't be sold, the profitable business is over, and the children may still go to the front line to die. This is really bad news that's broken." Come to the tavern A man who was drinking said with a sad face.
Before, he was a helper near the railway, and everyday all can make a lot of money. With pen money, he subsidized his family and improved the living conditions of his family.
His mother was seriously ill and was cured by a railway worker who helped bring some medicines from Alanhill.
On the day the railway line was attacked by Dragon Knight, he still wanted to save people, but when he arrived at the platform, he could only find the body of the young Alanhill railway dispatcher.
For this matter, his mother also complained about him for several days. If he hadn't been able to stay at home, he wouldn't have been able to go to the tavern to waste the little change he had left.
You know, when he had a place to work before, this glass of wine wasn't really a major event for him, but now it's alright, after drinking this glass of wine, maybe he'll be hungry It took only half a day to do it...
"Don't talk nonsense! Are you going to die?" The man who opened the tavern can't even hire a bartender. He whispered: "Don't talk nonsense...you will be arrested!"
After interrupting his friend's words, the Boss of the tavern said: "I heard that we got the puppet. With the aid of the Empire, the army is very battle-strength, and may be able to retake the Eastern Province."
"Do you think it is possible? That place is now called Velonza! I really can't think of it, we How to beat Alanhill." The only drinking guest shook the head, expressing that he didn't believe that at all.
He often helps out at the train station. Naturally, he knows that the amount of arms Alanhill transports from Veronsa to Greken every day is innumerable. That was a number he had never seen before, and it was shocking.
With his superficial knowledge, he couldn't figure out how such a terrifying army could lose the war: they had hundreds of tanks, hundreds of thousands of cars, There are also countless cannons and planes covering the heavens, shielding the sun...
He has seen the army of the Holy Demon Emperor. How can he win in front of such a powerful army? The battle strength of the two sides is simply not in an order of magnitude, and the Holy Demon Emperor country seems to be a clown.
"We have more magic Legions than in the past, but these magic Legions were cultivated in the puppet empire!" The owner of the tavern is obviously the one who is well-informed. told a lot.
For example, in the Holy City Bellevue of the Holy Demon Emperor, magicians who did not listen to the orders of the Archon were subdued and killed. Blood filled the streets, and many magicians lost their lives for the sake of argument.
For another example, the Holy Demon Emperor once tried to attack the Velonsa region, trying to retake the eastern province, but their attack obviously failed, and many people were lost. Send troops to try to build a strong enough defense line in the border area.
So talking, the commoner of the Holy Demon Emperor country who opened the tavern seemed to be convinced by himself: "And we have a stronger army, equipped with Alanhill's weapons, so that , we have more battle strength than Alanhill."
Drinking the glass down, the drinking man didn't want to keep arguing about it. He threw the money on the table and walked out of the pub without looking back. In his opinion, this should be the last time he has come to this place to drink. It's one thing to have no money, and it's one thing to have no good wine, but the host here's dissatisfaction is the thing that annoys him the most: "This is what that guy from the Grand Archon said, as for what Alanhill has, you know. Is it?"
As he walked out, he muttered in a low voice, "They have toffee, champagne, all kinds of goodies, just these, they almost won."
Over the past year, in the northern part of the Holy Demon Emperor, there have been many areas affected by Alanhill. People love the benefits of Alanhill, they share in the various delicacies produced by industrial progress, and enjoy the benefits of lower food prices brought about by increased production.
The large-scale production of meat products in the grassland area, the prosperity of fisheries brought by the ocean, and the advancement of fresh food processing technology such as Alanhill's own canned food have made the daily life of the Holy Demon Emperor country steadily improve. .
Because of the convenience of transportation brought by the northern main railway line, Alanhill's benefits penetrated into the hinterland of the Holy Demon Emperor. Many local people have no grievances against mortals, and even Alanhill's young man won the prize. The girl who arrived at the Holy Demon Emperor.
However, after the outbreak of this war, the commercial and transportation advantages of the northern region of the Holy Demon Emperor no longer existed, and a large number of commodities were unsalable. Totally broken.
Depressed economy, desperate people, and a war that doesn't know when it will actually break out in full-scale -- Alanhill's late counterattack, which also made all the soldiers of the Holy Demon Emperor on the front line, The pressure in my heart is enormous.
The street outside the door is also bleak, which is in stark contrast to the lively scene of people coming, people going before. Why, my own country, has to provoke war? Isn't it okay to live peacefully with those mortals like this?
I questioned myself in the heart. The man squinted his eyes and looked towards the cloudless sky. After the rainy days, it was always such good weather. A swarm of Alanhill transports, crossed here to Gricken.
The C-47 transport aircraft group covering the heavens and shielding the sun looks so spectacular from a distance. But now, such a scene will no longer exist. When those planes appear in the sky again, it is estimated that the Holy Demon Emperor's country will be defeated like a mountain.
"Alas..." He sighed, unconsciously standing in front of the tavern for quite a while. He was busy just starting out, busy recalling the good times when he went to work at the train station.
When he came back to his senses, he saw two cute little boys standing in front of him. The two little boys looked up and squinted to the sky, as if they were looking at something very interesting.
He followed involuntarily and looked over, only to find that in the sky very high, some black shadows were flying neatly.
"What is that?" He narrowed his eyes even more, and only then did he vaguely see the dark shadows in the sky at a height of 10,000 meters.
He had heard from an officer in the train station before that those planes that were not the same as the C-47 transport plane, called the B-17, were a terrifying plane that could carry a lot of bombs.
Now, he saw these B-17s again, neatly lined up in the sky, three in a group, three in a group, dotted with densely packed P-51 fighter jets in the middle , flew slowly over the town.
He didn't have to look at it to know that the wings of these planes must have beautiful golden eagles drawn on them. You don't have to hear the heart-pounding rumbling sound of the engine to feel the power soaring in the sky.
Alanhill's counterattack begins... war has broken out in this brief moment. The executioners who slaughtered the railway workers will finally know that the killing two days ago was not a war, and now, at this very moment, it is...
"Uncle...Uncle..." Before him The two children looked at the man who looked up at the sky like them curiously, and asked curiously, "Where are there so many planes flying to?"
"I don't know...but , I think... Wherever they go, it will be completely over!" The man lowered his head, looked at the two beautiful little children, and replied bitterly: "Everything is over."
