My Magic Age

Duke Samoyed did not vent his anger on Marquis Armand because the army of Tanton City hid in the city and did not dare to come out until the victory of the war. He also did not blame Earl Horace for deserting the battlefield. The Construct Knights entered Tanton City during the day.

Then the warriors of Trum and the heavy armored infantry regiment, with a total number of 1,500, also entered the outer city area of ​​Tanton City that had been breached in the afternoon. It seemed to have become a ruin. The spider warriors captured the outer city area of ​​Tanton City. In just half a day, they had slaughtered nearly half of the poor people in the outer city area.

The first task of the warriors of Trum and the heavy armored infantry regiment after entering the outer city area was to clean up the streets of the city.

If the corpses in the city are not disposed of in time, a large-scale plague or infectious disease will break out in the city, so the cleaning work within the city is imminent. Those noble knights are naturally impossible to do this kind of work, so the odd jobs fall on the soldiers of the Trum Warriors and the heavy infantry regiment.

The soldiers and the clerks of the logistics department are mainly responsible for cleaning every house in the outer city one by one, ensuring that there are no spider warriors or giant spiders lurking in the streets, alleys, every street and every courtyard. This is a very tedious and meticulous cleaning work.

So during the period of entering Tanton City, Knight Disraeli and the third battalion commander became very busy all of a sudden, and even the quartermaster Felix was called by the Duke several times, and everyone seemed busy.

Tanton City is divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is like a city within a city. This layout is a bit like St. Louis City. The inner city also has solid walls. In Tanton City, the areas where the poor and the rich live are clearly divided. Almost all nobles and knights live in the rich area. The slums have free markets, auction houses, mule and horse markets, slave markets and other places where people and fish are mixed. Many small vendors are mixed in the slums of the outer city.

The outer city is mainly inhabited by immigrants from Durva Province, merchants from all over the Green Empire, local natives and adventurers of various unknown identities.

The immigrants from Durva Province are the largest group of people in the outer city. They are the main personnel supporting the social structure of the outer city. They are some ordinary poor people and some landless wanderers. They have no land and property in Durva Province of the Green Empire and live at the bottom of society. They immigrate to the Yello plane and can get some subsidies provided by the Duke of Samoyed, which can allow them to have a residence of their own.

Secondly, there are some small vendors living in the outer city. They are a group of merchants from all over the Green Empire, but they do not belong to those large business groups. They simply sell some goods needed in the Yello plane. The categories are very simple and the cost is generally very small. They transport the goods from thousands of miles to the Yello plane, so it is naturally impossible to spend a high price to buy expensive residences in the inner city. Generally, these small vendors will choose to rent houses in the slums of the outer city. As long as they sell the goods in their hands, they will immediately buy some local specialties and transport them back to the Green Empire to make a profit.

In addition, some adventurers will also choose to live in the outer city. Although the outer city of many cities is a mixed bag and the public security is not good, various trading markets are basically established in the outer city. The reason why many adventure groups choose to live in the outer city is very simple, that is, because it is convenient. It is very convenient to trade any goods. The slave market, auction house and mule and horse market are the favorite places for various adventure groups to visit.

Finally, there are a certain number of slaves in the outer city. In Tanton City, these slaves are almost all local natives captured by slavers. There are also slaves of other races brought back from the Green Empire by the auction house, but these slaves are a minority after all.

After the spider warriors broke through Tanton City, they occupied the outer city for half a day. Then, Duke Samoyed returned to Tanton City with the Construct Knights. The spider warriors rushed out of the city to fight, leaving only thousands of giant spiders in the outer city.

It was these giant spiders that killed nearly half of the population in the outer city in three days. The giant spiders turned all the poor and slaves into white silk cocoons, which would be the nutrients for the logistics supply of the spider warriors. Unfortunately, the spider warriors were defeated, and the giant spiders did not care about these silk cocoons and fled south in a hurry.

In many places in the outer city, there are white silk cocoons that look like coffins. Generally, these silk cocoons are very tough and will not be easily cut by sharp weapons. In each silk cocoon, there is almost a corpse that has been corroded to the point that only the skeleton remains. The soldiers untied these corpses from the white spider webs, and then loaded them onto carts one by one, so that the surviving poor people could see these corpses being pulled out of the city in carts, and then burned in a cemetery.

Another duty of the Trum warriors is to maintain public order.

The entire outer city has been messed up by the spiders. Those giant spiders are only interested in hunting humans. They are slaves of the Nibru spider warriors and only know how to hunt enough food. The giant spiders slaughtered many humans, but they had no interest in the property in the slums, so many supplies were left intact.

After the outer city was recaptured, many materials became ownerless. In order to prevent some people from making money from the national disaster, the Troum warriors and the heavy infantry regiments will conduct a detailed investigation of the survivors in the outer city. Only after verification can their property be returned. Those ownerless items will become the public property of Tanton City.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Duke Samoyed did not assign the soldiers originally stationed in Tanton City to be responsible for the security of Tanton City. Perhaps those Tanton City guards have been scared by the spiders, or it can be said that this was deliberately assigned by Duke Samoyed, with the purpose of preventing those Tanton City guards who have no merit in this war from getting any benefits.

After all, at this time, this kind of work of maintaining security in the outer city is almost a kind of welfare for the soldiers. After all, several large markets are in the outer city, and there are all kinds of shops and so on. After the war, it is very normal to lose some property.

In order to make his warriors less aggressive in collecting money, Knight Disraeli patrolled the streets diligently. From counting the survivors to verifying their identities, from cleaning up the streets to rebuilding the streets after the war, Knight Disraeli was almost present.

…

The knights of the Construct Knights rested in Tanton City for one night, and then were sent out of the city by Duke Samoyed. It is said that they were heading south to clean up the spider warriors and giant spiders that were abandoned on the way. I think this is the most conservative way to pursue the victory.

After entering Tanton City, Qi Ge and I became the most idle people. Because of our status as magicians and nobles, we were naturally placed in the inner city. However, Qi Ge never revealed his identity, and I was just an ordinary magic student in the Royal Magic Academy. Although I was a magician with a bright future, this identity was not enough for a duke to summon me in person.

For some reason, it seems that what Qi Ge and I did in the Trum stronghold was deliberately concealed.

Otherwise, based on what we did in the Trum stronghold, Duke Samoyed would have negotiated with us in person.

Since the inner city of Tanton City did not fall, the nobles living in the inner city did not suffer from looting. The nobles living here live a comfortable life. Although they are still a little scared every day, after all, Duke Samoyed is in charge of Tanton City, so the nobles here live a very leisurely life every day.

These nobles are trying to figure out one thing every day, that is, Duke Samoyed's attitude towards the destruction of Tanton City. After all, these nobles are not fools. Marquis Armand, the governor of Tanton City, is the son of Duke Samoyed. No matter how much criticism he has, they are father and son after all!

On the contrary, what about these nobles in Tanton City?

It is inevitable that the city will be judged as weak in defending the city. After all, the Duke of Samoyed spent countless efforts to build Tanton City. The first batch of immigrants in Tanton City was also organized by the Duke of Samoyed with countless manpower and material resources. Now the population of the outer city has lost more than half at once. After the war, those merchants and adventurers will almost leave here one after another. It is difficult to say how much Tanton City has lost.

It is estimated that there will be a day of reckoning for these things. The nobles of Tanton City naturally know how they performed in this war, so the recent trend of public opinion in the inner city is also about the mood of the Duke of Samoyed.

The house where Qi Ge and I live in the inner city was originally the residence of a noble baron. According to Brandon, the baron was a knight and an officer in an infantry regiment under the Duke of Samoyed. It is said that the infantry regiment encountered spiders in the forest, and now even the number has been cancelled. The family of the baron all live in the Green Empire. Usually he lives here alone. Now his small courtyard is temporarily lent to us. This is specially arranged by the quartermaster Brandon. I have to say that it is a very comfortable thing for the logistics department to have a friend.

In today's Tanton City, the difference between the inner city and the outer city is very big, as if one side is heaven and the other side is hell.

The nobles in the inner city can still live a life of luxury every day, but the residents in the outer city are now rebuilding their homes in grief.

Because we don't have to worry about the Duke of Samoyed settling accounts later, Qi Ge and I are part of the most relaxed group of people.

Qi Ge didn't want to leave Tanton City in a hurry. She almost took me to stroll around the inner city every day.

What else is there in the inner city besides one noble mansion after another? The answer is: some magic item stores, magic herb stores, Warcraft material stores, etc.

But at this time, I think almost no one in the entire inner city will be in the mood to visit these magic stores like Qi Ge and me.

As a scholar of magic potions, Qi Ge is most concerned about the unique magic herbs on the Yello plane.

Walking on the deserted streets, I saw only a few constructed knights riding horses passing by from time to time. The nobles were almost all hiding at home. No one dared to run around at this time. Only Qi Ge and I were wearing magic robes, walking on the street with our followers and maids.

The inner city of Tanton City is indeed where the nobles live. The trees on the streets are all precious indigo trees. Every fifty meters there is a black and simple street lamp. These street lamps are probably made of moonstone wicks with crystal lampshades. The streets are paved with smooth marble slabs. Every street looks so clean and tidy. Katarina, Takama, Kalancuo and the minotaur Luka quietly followed me and Qige.

Pushing open the door of a magic herbal medicine store, Qige walked in first. The shop owner standing at the counter looked at us in surprise. He didn't seem to think that there would be customers visiting the store at this time.

However, there were not many kinds of magic herbs on the shelves in his shop. The shelves of herbs that could make healing potions were empty, with only white labels stuck on the shelves. On the contrary, some magic herbs unique to the Yello plane were piled on the shelves, and it seemed that no one cared about them.

Qi Ge walked up with a smile, without saying a word, pursed her lips, picked up a sage and put it under her nose to smell it.

"Two distinguished guests, is there anything you need?" The shop owner saw that there were customers coming in, and he quickly asked me and Qi Ge, and his eyes suddenly showed some brilliance.

Qi Ge said casually: "We are just looking around!"

Her voice was sweet and pleasant, and the shop owner couldn't help but look inside her hood. When he saw Qi Ge's delicate face, his eyes became glazed.

It took a long time for me to recover. Apparently, the shop owner had seen some scenes before. He knew that his rash behavior made the female magician on the opposite side a little dissatisfied, so he was slightly punished. He dared not look around at this time. He quickly retracted his gaze and turned to me with a wry smile and said, "If the two guests want to buy some magical materials for healing potions, then it would be a waste of time. I ran out of stock a month ago."

"Now there are only some sages unique to the Yerro plane left in the store. If you are interested, the price can be negotiated." The shop owner sighed and said.

Qi Ge's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Oh, how much is this mature sage?"
