Chapter 336: Grain and Grass Crisis

Messi didn't know that this was a compromise that the bishop was afraid of his own distress, and he was very moved in his heart: "Don't worry, your lordship!" I must have inquired about the enemy's plan of action. ”

Li Muyang smiled: "No need, Messi, this is the city in the sky, not the city of light." I don't want Prince Rhodes to have a smooth possession of it, but it doesn't have to be left to Kendall.

I want both of them to be bogged down so we can make a profit. As long as they don't kill the people of the city, it doesn't matter who it is. Do you understand? Don't be impulsive, just do what I say. Messi nodded, turned and left.

The next day, Prince Rhodes continued to launch a fierce attack on Sky City just like the first day, but this time his elite troops did not enter the battle frequently, and the result was that the thunder and rain were small, and there was no threat to Sky City.

Himmler asked with some confusion: "Your Highness, why don't you let us participate in the siege?" These recruits are a complete waste and only serve to fuel the arrogance of the enemy. ”

Rod laughed: "Himmler, I just want to fuel their arrogance; When people are proud, they are prone to make mistakes, so why should I wait for the enemy to make mistakes again? And these recruits can only grow up after the test of blood and fire, and I paralyze the enemy and train the team to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Himmler shuddered, this guy was even more cruel than his own killer. Let hundreds of thousands of recruits take turns to attack the city, just like a big wave sweeping sand, although the rest is gold, but at least 100,000 lives must still be under the city!

Bielsa's eyes were full of fierceness, and he said viciously: "As long as you can recover the Erathia Empire, it's worth it!" The empire has been suffering for a long time, and it needs to be washed by thunder. ”

Rod nodded slightly and said: "Bielsa is reasonable, you will be responsible for commanding the attacks in the past few days, and we must achieve our two goals." ”

Scolari also sensed the change in the enemy, and he did not understand the enemy's intentions for a moment. His adviser said: "Commander, does the enemy want to besiege us, consume our food and grass, and wait until we run out of ammunition and food before attacking?" ”

Scolari slammed his head and said, "Yes! Yes, extremely! Why didn't I think of it? At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the grain has not yet been harvested. Rhodes is very aware of the situation in Sky City, even if a large amount of grain and grass is stored, the consumption of millions of people in the city is an astronomical amount, and it is difficult to continue! ”

"So what should we do?" The strategists and generals were stunned. Scolari hurriedly ordered his quartermaster to count the amount of military rations and strictly enforce entry and exit controls, and he hurried into the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Kendall.

After several days of good news, Kendall finally relieved himself a little, he was drinking with a group of his henchmen, and heard that Scolari had asked to see him; I still hurriedly invited him in.

But after listening to Scolari's report, Kendall's brow furrowed secretly. He turned to ask his treasurer, Wagner.

At this time, Wagner was already sweating, and he knew very well that there was a lot of grain in the storage of Sky City, but it was all moldy old grain, and the new grain had long been sold out.

Originally, the autumn harvest was approaching, and this deficit could be slowly made up, but now that the army is besieging the city, the autumn harvest has been lost, and the city is about to run out of food; Let him go where to raise it.

Kendall saw the trick at a glance, and he laughed and said to Scalari: "Don't worry, handsome." The city in the sky is full of food and grass, and it will definitely not let Rhodes succeed in his treacherous scheme. Please also rest assured, the money and food that should be there will not be less for everyone. ”

"Then I'll rest assured, I'm also a soldier at the front, if there is no food to cause a mutiny, I'm afraid it will let Rod take advantage of the loophole. Since the prime minister is so sure, please do a good job of logistical guarantees, and we will definitely be able to defeat the traitor Rod. Since there is no problem with food and grass, the rest depends on the last general! I'll take my leave. With that, Scolari turned and walked away.

As soon as Scolari left, Wagner fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed: "Save me!" Save me! ”

"Say! How much grain and grass is left in the warehouse, and how many days can it last? ”

Wagner cried: "The grain and grass that can be used in the warehouse is less than 10%, and it can support about 20 days." The rest is all stale grain that cannot be used. ”

"Bastard!" Kendall stepped forward and kicked Wagner to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying: "I tell you a thousand times, ten thousand instructions, you must keep half of the food stock, in case something happens, it will be easy to turnover, you dare to be the wind in your ears, how dare you be bold?" ”

Wagner looked aggrieved: "My lord, isn't this about to be harvested in autumn?" I also want to take this deficit as a result of the autumn harvest, who knew that Rod, a traitor, would choose such a time to do it? ”

Kendall's eyes almost erupted with fire and he scolded, "Who is Rod? He's been living in Sky City for more than 30 years, and he doesn't know anything about your men's? Maybe he had already made up his mind to pay attention, and this was the time to attack.

Listen quickly, and give me control of all the granaries in the city, and nationalize all the grain. We can handle it day by day. ”

The Minister of Civil Affairs exclaimed: "There is no need for the people, the people have no food, and prices are bound to skyrocket, and the people will not be able to make a living." And then what will we do to calm down? ”

Kendall said angrily: "Isn't there stale grain? It's good enough for those untouchables to have stale grain to eat, do they still want to get ** grain? These refined grains were given priority to the army and the nobility; If it is not enough, the army will also mix fine grain with old grain. ”

Wagner asked with sweat on his head: "My lord, what if those people make a fuss?" What if they find out that something is wrong in the granary? None of us can escape the relationship. ”

"Check? Hum! If they really want to find out, you will set fire to the granary, and I don't believe that they will be able to tell if it is new or old. Wagner's eyes flashed with a fierce glint and he nodded silently.

"Bang!" Scolari overturned the table in front of him at once, and they held out for more than twenty days, and nearly half of his soldiers were killed and wounded, so that the city in the sky could not be breached by the enemy. However, today's report made the old man furious.

After eating, thousands of soldiers in his barracks all vomited and diarrhea to varying degrees, and even more than 100 people were unconscious. Scolari was furious and tied up the quartermaster.

Quartermaster Dunga, with an innocent face, poured bitter water at Scolari, complaining that the city was given less and less food and grass, and that there was a mixture of old and new, and he did it in order to keep the soldiers from starving.

Scolari's brow furrowed at this, and he asked the quartermaster to lead him to check the rest of the rations, and sure enough, he found that there was a mixture of good and bad, and a lot of sand mixed in.

"Seal the grain first, ask the priest and wizard to heal the soldiers, and I'll go see Kendall and ask him what's going on?" The quartermaster let out a sigh of relief and quickly bowed in agreement.

As soon as Scolari left the back camp, he ran into Li Muyang who hurried to inquire about the situation. Scolari sighed and recounted the story. Li Muyang also sighed and said, "The old man went to Kendall to ask about the situation." I'm a pastor, and I'll leave it to me. ”

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for please! I'm going to go to Kendall, the bastard. Scolari said and walked away in a huff; Li Muyang led everyone into the camp where the wounded lived.

After every battle, Li Muyang has to come here to help treat the wounded, his magic effect is powerful, often a group healing technique can live a lot of soldiers' lives, so here he is the most popular person, and it also allows him to recruit a lot of believers.

"Lord Duke, you're here!" Bannister, the chief pastor in the camp, saw Li Muyang and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute. Bannister was in his 50s and was a Rank 7 Priest Marquis; He is also the commander of the medical battalion in the city defense army.

During this period of time, the old pastor witnessed Li Muyang's miracle and his attitude towards the injured like a parent. All of these moved the old pastor very much, and he was also moved by Li Muyang's behavior, and became the first military pastor to join the Illuminati Sect.

The second is a middle-aged woman who came out after hearing the news, she is also a 7th order priest, and it is Bannister's wife Daina. Although Dinah looks like a half-aged and still has charm, her real age is the same as Bannister, and she is in her fifties.

"The Duke is here, that's great! We have a lot of sick people here, and we need a miracle from the Duke. ”

"I've heard Duke Scolari talk about this, let's go in and take a look!" Li Muyang was not polite and went to the wounded barracks first.

"Lord Duke!" A black-faced man guarding the door saw Li Muyang, and he knelt on the ground.

"Heton, you're welcome, hurry up!" Li Muyang wanted to pick up this guy, but he was a 7th-order master, and he was not pulled by a 5th-order magician, so he had no choice but to accept his salute alive.

"Hadon, I've already told you, I'm a priest by profession. Saving people is what I'm supposed to do. Don't be polite to me in the future. ”

Hayton patted the big black head and said, "Lord Duke, my neck was cut off in half at that time, and everyone thought that I was not saved; Only you miraculously saved my life, my life will belong to you in the future, and I will do whatever you ask Haden to do.

All my kung fu is on the water, and this time I also caught up with this battle by chance; I also let the adults save my life; Isn't it God's will for me to follow adults? I have already decided that I will be the first to look forward to the future adults, and I will never say anything. ”
