Chapter 475： Clouds over Luan City (1/2)

The light and heat brought by the giant day are fading day by day. The time for direct sunlight to the earth is shortening every day, and the night is quietly extended. When the harvest festival ends, a sudden rain has ended the heat of the past few days, and it is cool. On the night, the white-horned star that is gradually moving westward reminds scholars and farmers who are concerned about the sky: the summer is coming to an end.

The frosty month is approaching, although the fall has not yet arrived, but as a northern kingdom, most parts of Ansu will be cool in the week before the frosty month, even in the south.

In the past, this will be the food harvested in the last “golden time” harvest of the residents of various towns. In the cellars and granaries of households, there is no need to worry about food issues. The various epidemics that will prevail in summer will turn with the weather. Cool and reduced, the annoying mosquitoes are beginning to disappear, and it takes a while for the weather to turn cold completely. Before the winter foggy month, people don’t have to worry about the survival threat brought by the cold winter, they can take advantage of this last suitable activity. Continue to hoard food for a period of time, or repair houses, reserve firewood...

In theory, this short “Autumn Autumn” is the last bustling and busy day of the towns throughout the year.

However, in Lu'an City, the bustling end of the harvest month begins.

Today is the 54th day of the blockade, and the atmosphere in the city is still deteriorating.

There are almost no pedestrians on the street, every household has closed doors and windows, and occasionally there are rushing figures passing by from the corner. In addition to the patrolling saints, there are only priests or babies who come out to inquire about the news, even It is now noon, and the whole city is as dead and dead as it is at night.

Almost no one has connected such a city filled with repressed tensions and dying everywhere with the Holy Land of the Holy Light Church in the South.

However, such an atmosphere is justified. The news of the revival of the Southland and the republic of Cecil has spread throughout the region. Everyone knows that a new ruler has already landed on this land, but what is worse is the new ruler. The relationship with the Church of the Light does not seem to be harmonious: in the amazing war more than a month ago, the Church of the Light did not make a good choice, an elite holy army marched under the leadership of the Southern Bishop The battlefield, and the opposite of Cecil...

The beginning of the war was so loud that it ended up being unbelievable. In that short battle, the bishop was defeated, and the most powerful Holy See knight in the southern region was completely annihilated.

Even the high-ranking knights from the plains of the Holy Spirit.

Then Luan City was blocked.

Blockade, not offense, puts more pressure on Lu’an City.

If the Duke of the Southland directly asks for sin after the war, or simply sends a military soldier to the city, the priests of Lu'an City will be at ease. At least that proves a clear attitude, and as long as the attitude is clear, it is much simpler to deal with.

Lu Ancheng can sincerely apologize, can promise a series of compensation conditions, can give up some church land and even part of the religious immunity, in exchange for the anger of the new lord to calm down, in exchange for the opportunity to continue to live and preach in this land, even if the situation It’s really out of control. The Duke of the South is determined to solve the problem by force. The guards of Lu’an City will not be afraid: the fanatic Knights of the Holy See have already prepared for the martyrdom, and the priests are not afraid of swords and magic fires. The priests who taught in this barren land in the Southland have always been the most stubborn and least fearful of the Church of the Light.

However, the new ruler of the Principality chose the most difficult and most difficult action to speculate: a silent blockade.

He did not send a **** to Lu’an City, but only blocked the cards connected to the entire city. The fully armed Cecil soldiers and their fortifications were blocked like plugs on the barrels outside Lu’an City. On every road, whether it is the flow of people or the spread of news, the reason for the strict prohibition of the Duke is to maintain post-war order and investigative intelligence, but the discerning person can see that he is under house arrest of the entire Southern Church.

All the sacred priests who preached in the southern region were driven to the city, and the channels of communication with the Holy Spirit Plain were completely sealed. Whether it was a caravan or a scattered adventurer or mercenary, they were prohibited from approaching the area. At the beginning, because the Cecil's blockade line had not been closed, there were still sporadic exiled knights running through the path into the city. The cathedral's principals could also learn about the latest changes from the mouth of the exiled knight. But very quickly, all the loopholes were filled, and all the channels of the outside world were cut off. The city was completely blindfolded, and the ears were blocked and the mouth was blocked.

The residents of the city soon became uneasy, and the nominal city managers sent by the Ansu royal family ran clean when the blockade line was not closed. It is said that half of them have already Trusted the Cecil.

In this atmosphere, this year's harvest festival is spent in silence without anyone organizing a celebration, and no one dares to waste food. The priests command the farmer to harvest the last crop in the farmland next to the city wall, and then Put these may be the last foods into the granary, and begin to impose the strictest curfew and distribution system on civilians.

It seems that everything is in the worst situation, but in fact, in St. Lu'an Cathedral, the firm faith still supports the last group of priests who stay here.

Franberry, who was temporarily selected as the "Bishop of Luan", ended his morning prayers. He stood up in front of the icon of the Holy Light, and let the aides wait for the robes that are still glamorous. The expression on the face is calm.
