When Rod opened his eyes again, there were chaotic voices around him.
Dim firelight floated in the air, a dry and cold sensation coming from beneath him.
He propped himself up and found himself lying naked in a depression of the cave.
Not far away, shadows flickered as a voice shouted.
"Don't push, don't crowd, everyone will get some. Today's dinner is potato cakes, two for adults, one for children, one and a half for the elderly…"
Consciousness and thought quickly returned, and Rod soon realized he had returned to the survivors' refuge in Mist City.
He instantly saw the non-combatants he left here before setting out. Professor Bins and Professor Barrett were conversing with the refugees of Saint Reel, who seemed to have initially grasped the language of Saint Reel. Several bishops were healing the wounded.
Qingyu, Evela, and others had not yet returned to the refuge.
They had nearly five million civilians with them, even with the escort by "Gale," it wouldn't be this quick.
