A great disaster dissipated without a trace, yet its impact was profound. The shanty town in the outer city was burned to ashes, leaving countless people homeless, falling from their already humble status as poor households to become labor-servant households.
Facing the imminent winter, in conditions of freezing weather, lacking clothes and food, it's no different than waiting to die.
In the inner city, both the Fishery and Chai Market suffered heavy losses. Dozens of shops were looted and destroyed, their gold and silver plundered, not to mention the store clerks and long-term workers who were killed.
Years' worth of accumulated fortunes vanished overnight; it is difficult to resume normal business operations in a short time.
If it weren't for the Red Eyebrow Bandits intending a blood sacrifice, they wouldn't have restrained their subordinates from reckless killing.
The current death toll is estimated to be about twice as high.
