Chapter 614: Chapter 371: Post-War Tianyuan City (6.4K!)_4
Two Skeleton Morticians, three Resurrected Wraiths.
Dead Bone arrived beside the war machinery that had been reduced to mere remains:
Three Generals of Deathremains and one Lord of Deathremains returned from the River of Death.
Dead Bone arrived...
...
The recovery of the Undead system troops couldn't rely on the Nun Brigade.
However, the Undead themselves had their methods of restoration.
The returning Undead headed for the graveyard in the west district, where they received the purification of the Necromancers. Around them, a few Death Guards were embedded, continuously emanating a cold, ghostly light.
To the wounded Undead, this gloomy, cold light was as bright and beautiful as the Holy Light.
Under the command of leaders such as Bone Four, Lu Liu, Seventeen, and Niu Si, the brigades orderly transported the wounded and organized the pursuit of remaining monsters and the temporary defensive lines of the city.
—At this moment, hundreds of miles around Tianyuan City, small waves still surged forward with the inertia of the advance and a craving for the flesh of living beings, rushing towards Tianyuan City.
They had to respond calmly, or even such small waves could lead to great chaos.
The Tianyuan Elite Warriors were all connected to the spiritual network, making mobilization, command, arrangement, and tallying quite-simple.
On the contrary, accounting for the losses of the city, post-war repairs, and the treatment of injured Territory Citizens were incredibly cumbersome and arduous tasks.
"If we encountered this situation, where would we begin to handle it?"
Shen Linglong looked towards her own generals.
Her generals returned her gaze with innocence and confusion.
He was merely a combatant general, after all; he hadn't even been alive for six years, how would he understand governance of a territory?
That was the Lord's job, after all.
Shen Linglong thought it made sense, as she herself had never been in such a situation, but had heard of some cases, and there were cases where the level of disaster far exceeded that of Tianyuan City at present.
She reminisced, feeling that she could offer some suggestions to Tianyuan.
That was all she could do at the moment.
"However, given the extent of the disaster in Tianyuan City, the losses, treatments, personnel arrangements, and so forth, it would probably take at least ten days and a half a month to process everything."
"It would take ten days, maybe half a month, for Tianyuan City to nearly grind to a halt. The morale of the Territory Citizens might even decrease somewhat."
Governance was not an easy matter.
Her Linglong Territory was said to be a large city, yet in reality, it wasn't much bigger than Tianyuan City. Was it that she didn't want to expand? She simply couldn't. She had often failed to arrange all the work for the Territory Citizens. And the more idle the Territory Citizens were, the easier it was for conflicts to arise.
She flew down to the South District of Tianyuan City.
As soon as she landed, she saw teams of peacekeepers beginning to patrol the streets and alleys, arranging for the treatment of the wounded, restraining conflicts, and cleaning up and removing monster corpses that had fallen into the city area.
They also organized batches of Territory Citizens to closely observe these monster corpses.
What operation was this?
"This is to boost the confidence of the Territory Citizens. We Tianyuan have a batch of citizens who haven't been here for long and have not experienced the Calamity of the Red Moon. We want them to know that monsters are not invincible,"
"Afterward, we will also organize them to visit outside of the city to see the true wilderness littered with corpses, to see how many monsters our Tianyuan City soldiers have killed. Of course, we will also need to organize batch after batch of Territory Citizens to assist in material gathering and corpse cleanup."
Shen Linglong looked over, and the one speaking was a pink-haired girl about her height.
Star Maiden·Isloa.
She recognized her.
It wasn't just that she had interacted with Isloa these days, but even more so because she had heard of Isloa's renown over half a year ago.
—A hero recruited by Tianyuan at the Festival Grounds.
She shared some cases, suggestions, and things to note with Isloa.
She blurted out everything she could remember, which seemed somewhat disorganized.
"I understand,"
Isloa said, and called over several officials from the municipal department to assign tasks one by one.
"We have a total of 62 completely shattered sections of the city wall. Li Si, lead twenty highly skilled construction workers to defense area B3, where you will find Zhou Fu, who will take you to the designated location,"
"Iron Tower, draw forty men from the labor brigade to repair the damaged Arrow Tower in area A6,"
"As planned, temporarily expand the peacekeeping brigade."
"A Territory Citizen has injured someone? Shall I teach you whether to deal with or punish such matters?"
The officials of Tianyuan City, including many small administrators from among the masses of Territory Citizens, ran back and forth. The scene appeared chaotic but was orderly amidst the confusion.
They were like gears, fitting precisely where needed.
The immense machinery of Tianyuan City began to operate, picking up speed.
Arrow Towers were erected anew.
The broken city walls were reconstructed.
Just two hours later, order within Tianyuan City stabilized, and complete recovery wouldn't take much longer.
All this largely progressed steadily under the hands of the pink-haired heroine.
Such a capable hero!
Shen Linglong was envious.
She glanced at the rotund Rock Beast beside her and then at the Dragon Force Swordsman far away, showing off his muscles to a brawny man of Tianyuan. She was so tired she didn't want to speak.
Why didn't she have such a capable general of her own? Damn it!
