"Oh, it''s so miserable..."


    Eagles, wearing an orange life jacket, sat on a magic boat and said sympathetically.


    When you look around, you can see that there are water waves all around you, and the wind is blowing by, rolling up the waves.


    Large areas of farmland were completely submerged by the sea; shrubs were also submerged by the sea, only half of the treetops could be seen; only tall trees, like isolated islands, stood high on the water.


    It''s hard to believe that just a few days ago, it was still land.


    This is the masterpiece of storm seaweed.


    A strong storm landed in the south of the Republic, and big waves swept most of the coastal area.


    Worst of all, at the end of the month, the two moons of the alien planet, Yaan and EVA, were in a state of coincidence, and their gravity brought about the super tide once a month.


    As a result, the storm superimposed with the spring tide, resulting in more and more severe flooding, and eventually caused a rare flood once in decades.


    In the 600 km long coastline, all low-lying areas are flooded.


    "It''s really miserable." Lieutenant Andreas nodded and couldn''t help sighing, "it could have been avoided."


    "As far as I know, as early as four days ago, the" subgrade weather magic sensor "in tututa military harbor observed the abnormal magic energy gathering in the bay sea area near the south of Qianhu Republic, and the fluctuation index is rising rapidly."


    "After analysis, the meteorological department has determined that a medium-sized storm will break out in the sea area The political office in tututat sent the matter urgently to the house of Parliament of the Republic in Fort Hague. "


    "Then the parliament informed the Lords of the coastal areas to prepare for the storm, such as strengthening the city walls, transferring and evacuating the civilians in advance, and so on."


    "It''s a pity that most nobles don''t take it seriously at all..."


    "It''s not surprising." IGOs was silent for a moment, and said with a sneer, "Hey, how can the noble old men care about the lives of the untouchables?"


    A young sailor, listening to the two men''s conversation, suddenly said with a smile:


    "in fact, there is another reason why the foolish aristocrats of Qianhu Republic do not believe that the" weather magic sensor "led by the tide can predict the storm."


    "I remember when the first weather magic sensor was born, the tide current affairs once made a front page headline in the newspaper, solemnly reporting the event and listing the results of a series of experiments Can''t that convince them? "


    The sailor shrugged his shoulders and said:


    "they think that forecasting storms is the domain of the gods. How can mortals have access to the power of the gods?"


    "Last year, I stayed in tututat port for more than half a year. I heard a lot of news. Many nobles felt that the weather sensor was a trick of swindlers, and it was used by the sea and tide to fool the ignorant civilians."


    Lieutenant Andreas could not help shaking his head and said in silence:


    "Lord, you are absolutely right," weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is... "


    "Wow..."


    Spiral stirring the surface of the water, magic boat quickly driving through a submerged shrubbery, Igor staring at the shadow of the tree in the water, there is a kind of unspeakable strange in his heart.


    This kind of feeling like driving on the top of trees is really impressive.


    At this time, a roar suddenly sounded from a magic boat in the front:


    "a village was found at 3 o''clock, about 1.5 km away, and there were suspected survivors..."


    As soon as the words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked in the past.


    Only in the distance, some things like the roof, tenacious stand in the flood, vaguely visible on the roof, it seems that there are several small black spots.


    They are obviously survivors.


    Seeing this scene, IGOs couldn''t bear it.


    Because there are only five or six roofs in sight, and there are certainly not only a few houses in a village.


    In other words, at least 90% of the wooden houses are either washed down or completely submerged.


    As for the residents in the wooden house, the outcome can be imagined.


    "Change course and go to the village to help the survivors!" Gonzalez, the leader of the team, issued orders in a loud voice.


    The five magic boats sent by the twin towers immediately crossed steep arcs on the water and sped to the village.


    Strangely enough, when the magic boat reached more than 200 meters away, the survivors trapped on the roof did not move at all, which gave IGOs a very bad premonition.


    Soon, the hunch was confirmed.


    After the magic boat came to the crumbling roof, several sailors climbed up carefully and found that several survivors had been dead for a long time.One of them even had a young child who was tightly held in her arms by her mother. The mother and daughter curled up together and lay quietly on the damp and cold old roof.


    Lieutenant Andreas, looking at the wet clothes and the pale skin of the dead, whispered:


    "they should have been frozen to death It''s the first snow month, and the temperature at night is very low In addition, the storm has not completely subsided, the wind is very strong, and there is no way to make a fire to keep warm Even a strong man in good health will not last long. "


    "If the rescue can arrive earlier, maybe they still have a chance to survive..."


    Eagles moved his eyes from the stiff corpse, clenched his teeth and cursed:


    "Damn it


    The atmosphere of magic boat also became a little low.


    Gonzalez stood silently in the bow for a while and issued a new order with no expression:


    "keep going!"


    "Wow Wow... "


    The propeller turned again, and the magic boat quickly left the village.


    Looking at the roof becoming smaller and smaller, igors suddenly said:


    "if the Lord could become the real king of this land, maybe they would not die at all..."


    "It''s true." "As far as I know, both the administrative department and the military have developed a very professional emergency plan, which is enough to deal with all sudden disasters," Lieutenant Andreas agreed


    "I''m not sure about the administrative department, but for the military, I know that each of the three armed forces has set up a rapid response force."


    "Take the air force for example, they have an Airborne Corps of 500 people, which can be put into any corner of Qianhu Republic in five hours."


    "If the Lord can reform the political system of the Republic, completely abolish the privileges of the nobility, and take back all the aristocratic territory, then the land will be better governed."


    The young sailor next to him turned his head, looked at Lieutenant Andreas with burning eyes, and said with profound meaning:


    "Mr. lieutenant, many people in our navy think that there will be such a day."


    "Your Highness, you will sit on the throne and become the supreme king!"


    ……


    On the way to Hilton Town, the rescue team saw another village soaking in the flood.


    However, this time, the formation did not stop at all, but directly bypassed the village.


    There is no objection to this decision.


    Obviously, people don''t want to see frozen bodies.


    In the rolling waves, IGOs saw a lot of debris floating on the water.


    Among them are the wreckage of the damaged wooden house, all kinds of wooden furniture, the swollen and hideous floating corpses, and some strange little things.


    For example:


    "eh, Lieutenant Andreas, corporal Benner, there seem to be some big cages made of rattan over there. What are they used for?" Eagles looked at the water somewhere and asked curiously.


    Corporal Benner was the young sailor who had just spoken to him.


    Lieutenant Andreas, following the direction that igors pointed to with his right hand, looked at the weaving cage, and shook his head blankly.


    Corporal Benner glanced at the woven cage and told an interesting story:


    "this is a long eared chinchilla cage. In many areas around tututat, many people use this cage to feed long eared chinchillas."


    "They catch the pups of long eared chinchillas in the wild, or buy them directly and keep them in cages When the cubs grow up, they can not only sell to subsidize their families, but also kill and eat meat. "


    "It''s a trend driven by the Agriculture Department of tututat after the establishment of the first long eared chinchilla farm In the past, the local people never thought that chinchillas could be cultured artificially. "


    "This trend is becoming more and more big. After all, it''s not difficult to breed grey rats, and it''s not tiring. The old people and children in the family can take care of them..."


    "It''s really a good idea." Igors nodded slightly and said, "but it''s safer to use metal cages Although the teeth of the chinchilla are not sharp, they can also gnaw off the vines, destroy the breeding cage and escape from it if they are given enough time


    "How can civilians afford metal cages?" Corporal Benner said with a smile, "if you find that the vines have been gnawed off, just collect some vines, dry them in the sun and repair them again, so that you don''t have to spend much money..."


    Igor immediately laughed awkwardly.


    He suddenly realized that after he had been in the sea for a long time, his thinking became more and more accustomed to the mode of industrial production, and he would not consider problems from the perspective of the bottom civilians.


    He gazed at the smaller and smaller cage, filled with unspeakable sadness.


    This terrible disaster has destroyed too many things


    ……


    Half an hour later, the rescue team finally arrived at Hilton town and saw the living for the first time.The appearance of this small town at this time is really shocking.


    A large part of the city wall has been destroyed by the flood. At a glance, you can directly see a vast ocean in the town. All the houses are soaked in the sea water more than 3 meters deep.


    Fortunately, the city wall blocked the most ferocious flood, greatly alleviated the impact of the flood, and most of the houses were not destroyed.


    However, after soaking in the sea for two days, their foundations have been greatly eroded, and the originally strong walls have also been softened, and their strength is not as strong as before.


    With the construction quality of this era, even if the flood recedes, most of the buildings in Hilton town will become dangerous buildings.


    The most complete building is the castle of the local Lord, viscount Hilton.


    Foreign castles are generally regarded as the foundation of the family. Nobles often spare no effort to use the best and hardest materials and hire the best craftsmen to build it.


    Almost all castles will use thick and heavy long stones to build foundation and main frame, and reduce the use of wood as much as possible to ensure sufficient strength.


    The Hilton family castle is no exception.


    Such a strong castle can easily resist the flood and stand still in the flood.


    Although the bottom of the castle is submerged, the Hilton family members can retreat to the top of the castle. There are still strong rooms to withstand the cold, fireplaces to keep warm, and they can continue to enjoy the most intimate service of the servants. They don''t have to suffer in despair like the common people.


    It has to be admitted that no matter how terrible a disaster happens, the civilians at the bottom are always the first to suffer, while the nobles who occupy the most resources always live to the end and live comfortably.
