Chapter 223
Urter and his patrol crew directed the crowd to move to the side . Miorich led his people into Violet City . His bodyguard squad’s fighting ability was unknown, but they looked very powerful . They attracted many people who came out to the street to see them .
Urter in the back already had a headache . None of them thought Miorich would come to Violet City, so they were not prepared . The house of previous citymaster was burnt down, and city hall was half destroyed, so they could not take the guests there . Anfey’s house was still under construction; the police department was too worn; his house was not in good condition . Urter could not think of an appropriate place for Miorich to stay .
Iliverny reminded Urter of the garrison residence . As the highest ranking official of the local military garrison in Violet City, Master Sam had secretly left after he got the news that Shansa Empire was about to invade Violet City . He even took the time to take more than half of his wealth with him . The garrison residence was tall, big and clean, so it had became the command post of Shansa Empire . Compared with other government buildings, it was damaged the least .
Urter immediately asked Iliverny to take some patrols to the garrison residency through the back roads to tidy it up first . He also sent over a dozen patrolmen to go to the garrison residence to clear the traffic and lead the way for the guests . He also ordered two patrols to go to the Garden Hotel and few other larger-scale hotels and restaurants to recruit chefs, waitresses and maids in Anfey’s name . These chefs, waitresses and maids needed to go to the garrison residence as fast as they could . He also sent a few people to book all the rooms from the few large hotels in the city . They also needed to clear the hotels and make new arrangements for hotel guests to other hotels . Of course, Anfey was responsible for all the costs . Last but not least, he sent people to buy liquor, meat, fruits and vegetables, plates, bowls, kitchen utensils, seasonings and other stuff . The soldiers took Urter’s order and started to run to get so many things done in time . As they were already half a street away, Urter sent people to call them back and added six hundred blankets and two hundred tents to the list . This was his plan B . If the bodyguard squad of Miorich did not want to go to other places and insisted on staying in the garrison residence, blankets and tents would become handy . He could not buy them a minute before they needed them .
Violet City had been economically desolated after the war . This purchase was the biggest business for the business owners in the service industry .
Urter gave many different orders, while Anfey just stood by and watched Urter give out orders . He had to admit that the saying, "different professions specialize in different areas" was right . If Anfey gave orders as the citymaster, he would have forgotten many things . Maybe he would not know to shop for food until soldiers were hungry . Maybe he would not remember that there was no military inventory in Violet City until those bodyguard squads needed to sleep . It would not kill Anfey if he messed a few things up, but it would make everyone doubt Anfey’s ability .
A patrolman walked two horses out . Anfey jumped on one of them and gave an eye to Christian to signal him to come over and he had something to tell him . Niya in the back yelled, "There are still two ladies here . You are so rude . "
Suzanna nudged Niya with a smile . She held her hand out to try to help her get on the horse . Niya shook her head . "I can do it . I am just not happy that he never thinks of girls first . " When they were on the run, Anfey was the leader and Niya had to listen to him . She could not show her attitude, even she was mad at Anfey . Now she was back to her hometown . She felt she had people she could fall back on . Therefore, she dared to talk to Anfey that way .
Anfey smiled bitterly . He turned to Christian and asked, "Where are they? Are they waiting for us at Blackania City now?"
"They came too," Christian answered .
"Did they all come?" Anfey asked .
"Of course, we will be your cheerleaders," Niya said proudly .
"It must be your idea, right?" Anfey asked .
"Yes, right," Niya said .
Anfey shrugged . Anfey actually felt relieved to see Niya act the way she did . Niya had been in low spirits when she was on the run . Anfey worried people would think he did not treat her well if her acquaintances saw her . Niya immediately acted the way she was before once they entered Maho Empire . It was actually really nice .
In order to buy Anfey some more time, and also to showcase Anfey, a dozen patrolmen in the front leading the way had walked around the whole city with the instruction of Urter . When the guests entered the garrison residence, those patrolmen were exhausted . They had run around crazily . They had to clear up anything on the street, keep civilians off the streets, run to the front to remind civilians about safety . Others may only walk one lap around the city, but they had run around for a few rounds .
The Garrison residence used to be quiet, but it became hustle and bustle today . People were running around to take trash out, clean rooms, move liquor barrels in, organize the tables and chairs, talking here and there in small groups . While they saw the patrols who lead the way had already entered garrison residence, they suddenly became quiet . People were busy running around retreated to the back of the garrison residence .
