Chapter 239: Asking for Help
In the silence, the light cocoon of the Winged City that shrouded the tower quietly converged. When she woke up, Lily looked around her, but she didn't notice much change.
Bran was still awake, but his consciousness was gradually revival. With the revival of consciousness, he regained his resonance with Flowey's magic. The dull footsteps in Northland finally died away, and the moment the sound faded, Dany rushed towards the tower. The tower was still foggy, but Flowey was no longer agitated, and he squinted in front of the tower as if nothing had happened, flapping his tail gently.
Seeing this scene, the people who came one after another couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - it's okay!
Bran always said that magic itself would find a way out, but he always used his natural ability to do things that were not very reliable according to his own will, and ended up bruising himself.
In his sleep, the magic in his body finally broke free from his stubborn control and began to flow naturally. The double-edged sword of magic also began to repair his tattered body.
Compared to Bran, Lily is much wiser. There were many things that couldn't be figured out, and going with the flow was the best option, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted like Bran. The difference in natural ability allowed her to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Bran could wake up at any moment, but he was like a child in bed, and he didn't want to open his eyes.
......
The weather was cold, and when the first heavy snow of the year fell, a letter from Dragoon for help was delivered to Northland. The letter recounts their tragic encounter, because they were attacked by unknown monsters, the dragoons suffered heavy losses, and the monsters were not willing to retreat until the cold winter came.
The letter for help was not only sent to Northland City, although the content was similar, but the tone was completely different. He speaks with humility and pleading with Northland, but is less polite with others.
Dragoons didn't want to get any real help from Northland, it was just a disguised ventilation. A letter for help to Northland is more like a looting list. If there are no people or things that Northland cares about, Dragoon is ready to do it.
The dragoon was also forced to have no choice, and a natural disaster made Taoguang's strategy come to naught.
No one knows if the monster will come back after winter. So in this cold winter, Dragoons are preparing to move the population as far out as possible.
Years of business on the East Coast are now paying off, so that the dragoons who are ready to move will not be displaced. There are many things that need to be done, but it boils down to nothing more than supplies, a lot of supplies.
The islands are not without supplies, but the simultaneous transfer of people and supplies by sea is simply an impossible task for the seriously damaged dragoons. Overland became their only option, and they had to get enough supplies before the cold really came.
Since Bran occupied Northland, although the Grimm Kingdom has been in good weather, it has been plagued by man-made disasters. This year, when people hid by the warm fire, ready to enjoy the fruits of a year's labor, the dragoons appeared arrogantly.
Looting and killing gradually spread. Under the persecution of hunger and cold, the people who were sacked by the dragoons set their sights on the weaker. People always have to live, and even the weak will give it a go in order to survive.
Green, who seems to be calm, has long been in chaos. Under the suppression of the powerful forces of Northland, the new order has been delayed. The old order, which seemed to be stable, has long since lost its effectiveness.
Today's Green still has a large number of soldiers, but without the maintenance of order, it is only a plate of scattered sand. This loose sand quickly became a part of it under the impact of the disaster. Add a lot of power to this disaster.
The raids of the dragoons were successful, and with no regard for the lives of others, great force could often reap great gains initially. The accumulation of other people's years has changed hands in an instant.
When the dragoons happily took stock of the harvest, and when they had prepared sufficient supplies for their migrating people, the disaster in the Kingdom of Grimm was already unstoppable.
......
Nils stands with his son Dolma in armor and sword, and he is not sure if he will survive this crisis. Initially, he also took in some of the victims, not out of good intentions, but for profit. A group of free slaves, as long as they are not starved to death this winter, will bring him a good profit in the coming year, either enslaved or resold. But as more and more victims appeared, he became nervous.
The knights and private armies of the clan were gathered, and even the lords took action spontaneously. Everyone understands that the time has come to huddle together to keep warm. The victims are also huddling together to keep warm, but their way of heating is too sinister. In the course of the trial, casualties gradually appeared on both sides. As the casualties increased, the anger gradually coalesced.
Looking at the bloodthirsty eyes on the other side, Nils knew there was no way back. He regretted a little, if he had stayed in the royal capital, would he have been able to avoid this catastrophe?
What he didn't know was that the outside of the royal capital was also crowded with disaster victims.
Green has not lacked food output over the years, and if the victims had some organization, some order, and someone who could stand up and guide them, and reasonably distribute everything they looted, these people would not have fallen to the point where they are now. After the frenzied looting, the disorderly scramble caused a lot of waste, and most of the materials in hand were destroyed in the scramble between each other.
Hunger drives them crazy, and madness further disrupts order.
......
The Kingdom of Grimm is in turmoil, but the Northland is still peaceful. At this time, Bran had woken up, and the news of Green's collapse continued to spread to Northland, which made him a little unable to sit still.
The victims have besieged the royal capital, and if they sit idly by, they will soon hit the two mountains. The team that picked up the white-robed family was told to stay in Anya for the time being, waiting for news.
There are still many people waiting for news, and there are more and more eyes looking at Northland City......
