It had been so many years, but this was the first time a flash flood had occurred this year. If it had happened only once, it would not have been so serious that everyone wanted to escape. Instead, every time it rained, the city would be flooded.
The small city that was originally self-sufficient was flooded with desolation after being baptized by the mountain torrents. People could be seen fainting on the streets, and by their side were children waiting to be fed …
The area of the Heaven's End City was very large, and one could even see the traces of a disaster as they walked.
Muddy rocks were strewn all over the ground. One after another, they were all dried up and scattered on the ground. There were broken pieces of stone, broken pieces of wood, weeds that had been left unswept and untreated. What a disaster scene!
Everyone could imagine what had happened here. The houses and animals had been flooded or washed away, and everything that remained of mankind, including food, had been swept away, the farmland had been flooded, the crops had been destroyed, the food production had been greatly reduced, and there had been famine.
"This is a crime, all of these were caused by the Wu Family digging up mountain ranges …"
Just in case, Dongfang Ning and the rest rushed all the way to Xing Guan Town. Since the food carriages were too slow, the logistics team was in the back. A hundred of them came first to occupy the base area, otherwise, they would be put in a passive position.
"Half of the town and half of the town to the west have been flooded by the great water. The number of deaths and injuries in the village is innumerable. Pity the elders of my Chen family has been submerged in mud and rocks. My wife and children had just survived by following me up the mountain."
In the night wind, Chen Xiang kept talking about what had happened to him. The closer he got to the town, the more excited he got. The bitterness in his heart was finally vented at this moment.
"Princess, this is Heaven's Blessing Town!"
They stood on the mountain and looked at the Heaven's Blessing Town for over a mile. This town was not small, and there were no city walls. This sort of remote place probably wouldn't even be able to fight in battles, so there was no need to build city walls.
"Let's enter the town. There aren't any lights on the streets, so the soldiers of the Wu Family shouldn't be here. We'll go directly to the mayor's house to take a look."
Dongfang Ning looked around and determined that there was no danger in the town. If there were a large number of civilians, she could completely control these one hundred people.
"Ning'er, aren't you tired?"
Yan Wuzhan flew to her horse with a pained heart and hugged her waist, his heart full of reluctance. He didn't let her live a peaceful life, she knew what she had to face now, there must be a lot of soldiers in the town, what if they hurt her?
"Yan Wuzhan, don't even think about touching Sis's acupoints!"
"…"
She's so sensitive...
How did she know that she wanted to point her acupoints and throw it to someone else to take care of, and that she would only come back to pick her up after he was done?
"Alright, I'll respect your decision." Yan Wuzhan returned to his horse helplessly. "Take good care of Princess Anning. Bring twenty men with you!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead on his horse. Lightning's speed was something that no one could catch up to.
"Everyone, follow this princess!"
Dongfang Ning immediately urged her horse to give chase. A few soldiers came up from the back and rode their horses in front of her, slowing down to prevent her from overtaking them.
"Mistress, let Battle King go first. It won't be difficult for him in such a small place."
"Everyone, listen to me, catch up to Yan Wuzhan immediately! What if there is an expert in the town!? "
Dongfang Ning was angry. These people didn't know that Yan Wuzhan had lost all his inner strength, and they still thought that he was a god. However, this matter couldn't be said clearly.
Helpless, Dongfang Ning could only stop.
"Mei Er and I are here. All of you go and help Battle King. This is a small town and not a small family with only a few people!"
"Leave ten of you behind to protect the princess, the rest of you, follow me!"
Actually, these people were more willing to listen to Dongfang Ning's words. They finally opened their mouths. Leaving ten people to accompany her should be enough, as he brought the rest to chase after Yan Wuzhan.
At this time, the sky was about to brighten, and there were four points of humiliation. This was the human sleeping time, and they had already set the time to arrive at this Heaven's Blessings Town. Naturally, there was no need to talk about their motives.
Yan Wuzhan took the lead and entered the town, heading straight for the mayor's house. It wasn't hard to find the mayor's house, he already understood it from the mountain.
The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the town.
The village was immediately filled with the cries of chickens and dogs. Some children were even awakened from their sleep by the sound of the noise.
All the merchants and commoners in the town had their lights lit up in succession. Some of them hid under the windows without lighting to listen to the commotion, while others ran out into the alleyway to discuss.
"Why is there the sound of horses' hooves?"
"So many horses! Did Battle King really come?"
"Battle King really came to such a remote place?"
"I wonder if his house is the same as the mayor's. Let's go back quickly and lower our volume …"
"Look, there are still a lot of people behind us. Are they people? Did you hear the sound of horses' hooves …"
In all these years, they had never heard so many horse hooves. A few days ago, there were a lot of victims in the town, and they all said that they wanted to go to the capital to find Battle King and find their king as their judge. They just went to one place after another, and no one came back.
"Quickly go home and sleep. We'll protect the officials. Who knows who it is?"
"If only Battle King could lock up the mayor, then our cow can come back!"
In a shack on the outskirts of town, a child and three adults were awakened by the sound of hooves.
They were two women, a man in his thirties and a child around seven to eight years old. At this moment, they all squeezed to the door and looked at the long line of horses headed towards the town.
"Mom, I heard the teacher say that Battle King is a hero. He loves the people like he is his son. It's good that he really is here. I'm going to sue him and save dad. I'm going now!"
"Pillar, stop fooling around. We don't know who the person is yet. Let's go back into the house and hide. Don't go out."
His mother quickly pulled him into the house, while another woman at the side started to cry.
"It's all our fault that we implicated your family, wuu …"
"Little sisters, don't cry anymore. Come in, all of you. If the heavens have eyes, let Battle King really come. We will definitely have a day where we can stand up for him. Come in!"
They had been living like this for more than a month. At the beginning of this year, their Heaven's End City had been affected by a flood, and although they had not received much, the government had taken away all their food, saying that they were going to take it as a relief.
Now that the host was locked up, he couldn't even light an oil lamp at night.
