The spreading fire did not last long, and the surrounding civilians ventured out to put out the fire together. Therefore, these buildings were not only burnt to black. Besides, there is not much damage in itself.
However, everything in the store was also burned down, and the civilians could only target elsewhere. While searching for food, they also had to guard against some malicious eyes hiding in the dark shadows. Watching the civilians walking down the street, waiting for an opportunity to show their sharp fangs.
On the other hand, the wealthy people in the city also fled into the port. Those who didn’t have the money to hire their own boats could only huddle together, scrambling to get on the boats. Merchant ships berthed in the port used this time to sell their slots at high prices. , want to make a fortune from those rich people.
In order to escape from the city, even if they knew that they had been blackmailed, those rich people could only swallow their anger and pay the captain a large amount of boarding fee to suppress the anger in their hearts.
However, after they paid the money and wanted to get on the boat, they just walked up to one person, and the rest of the people were immediately stopped by the sailor. The sailor with a big mouth and rotten teeth looked at the person they stopped with a smile. , said:
“We didn’t make it clear just now that the money you just paid is one person’s ticket.”
“what?!”
The other party suddenly boiled. They screamed and wanted to question the savage sailors, but after seeing the weapons in the hands of the sailors, they immediately swallowed the questioning.
They looked at the vicious sailors and the weapons in each other’s hands, no doubt that if they continued to quarrel, the sailors would shoot them directly in the head.
Under the threat of force from the sailors, the wealthy could only humiliately pay more coins in exchange for the opportunity for their families to board the ship.
All of this was seen by the people watching the play on the ships belonging to the councillors’ families that were also moored in the port. Even if they were reduced to the point of fleeing, they still maintained a high attitude, standing leisurely on the deck of the ship, watching The various manifestations of the “refugees” on the port made them laugh from time to time.
At this time, they selectively forgot what kind of gaffe they were when they were blocked outside the port with those “refugees” a few hours ago.
