Chapter 227: Arthur Returns
Arthur and his party had no news for more than ten days, so anxious that Frick Canon was circling around the lord's mansion, and the food was less than a day, and the local townspeople complained that they had eaten too little.
For Frick Canon, it is a bad thing for the orcs not to get close to Morado, and there is a threat from the orcs, whether it is the local townspeople of Morado or those who have fled from outside, they will obediently follow the instructions, for fear of angering the lord and being accused of collaborating with the enemy.
However, when there were no orcs, the natives of Morado frequently began to clash with these strangers, and the yeoman farmers and farmers were not fools after all, and they also saw that Morado's originally rich grain was hollowed out and eaten by these strangers.
Moreover, it is even rumored in Morado that these outsiders have long hidden food in the cave outside, and it is completely because they saw that Morado is safe, so they hid the food and ran to Morado to eat it.
However, this statement is not without a market, but it is very well-founded, and most of the refugees who fled came with only a few days' worth of food.
And these quantities of rations really do not need to be handed over within the limit.
But how can it be so good? But the amount of food that can be carried is exactly this amount, so what about the excess food? It can't be lost halfway, right?
Of course, there are some refugees who have been robbed, but when they hear the news of Morado's safety, there are really many people who come to eat big families.
Although Frick Canon understood that these refugees could not be driven away, this led to the local food being eaten up by outsiders, and the conflict suddenly became acute.
When food was still abundant, it was not obvious, but even after the locals began to reduce their quotas, some violent clashes inevitably appeared on the streets of the town.
If Arthur comes back with food, then these problems will be solved, after all, Morado's homesteaders have sold their food for money, as long as they can ensure that they have enough food in the future and enough seeds for spring planting, then even if they are tight, they can endure it.
But now they see the exact opposite, and it is no wonder that they are not angry.
"It's back! Lord Arthur is back! The guards galloped all the way. Almost rushed into the Lord's Mansion with the wind, and the news he shouted out of his mouth made Frick's eyes glow when he was so anxious that he was about to lose his hair.
"Coming back? Did you come back with food? "It doesn't matter if Arthur comes back, although Arthur is a good boy. But now food is the key.
If he continued to maintain it, he even planned to risk sending a convoy north to Berry, the main city in the south, 240 miles away, to ask for food. It's not like there's no harvest.
"Uh...... Which is the message that Miss Lilia brought back, saying that Lord Arthur is resting in Fist Demon Town, and you need to send ten pack carts to load food. The guard realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly repeated the message.
Ten cars? Frick was slightly surprised, he didn't have hope for Arthur's plan, if there was the help of this mysterious alchemist teacher, he might indeed be able to get some back.
The alchemy potion shop has not been opened since Arthur left, and Frick himself has been there, and he has his daughter knock on the door. But no one answered.
This can be regarded as a little hope for Frick, although he did not see the magician when he saw him off at the town gate, but now it seems that this is just the usual low-key of the female mage, and it must be after everyone has left that they catch up with Arthur and act together.
"Well, it's good to have ten truckloads of food, at least for another six or seven days." Flick touched the stubble that was already full of chin and nodded in reassurance.
In fact, Morado's food is not enough to eat until the beginning of spring, but at this time the town has fallen into a state of chaos.
Just a little food to calm the townspeople. Frick Cannon always finds a way to get through.
However, Frick Canon miscalculated the numbers, Arthur's cart was not a pack cart of pack horses, but the orcs' carriages were all two-wheeled, and one cart weighed more than 2,000 catties. That's enough for 2,000 people in the town to eat for a day.
……
"Ashuk, my brother said, let you keep an eye on the situation in the town, he and the old witch will not come back for the time being, but he will not leave the Fist Demon Town for the time being, report to him in time if there is anything." Lilia looks like I'm the chief. Give orders to the Fist Demon who is two levels higher than him.
"Yes, young lady, you have to obey the orders of the Demon King." Ashuk doesn't care, he has great respect for succubi, after all, Lilia is Arthur's personal succubus, this has to be put in the past, isn't it the queen of the demon king?
Although Lilia is weak, she has a high status, not to mention Lilia's attitude towards the old witch, oh, not Melissa, the same as herself.
Ashuk also had some words of citation, hoping that when there were more and more powerful subordinates around the demon king, someone could help him blow the pillow wind and say a few good words.
"But miss, did the Demon King really grab nearly a hundred carts of food? This must be the number of those large tribes' grain convoys, right? Although Ashuk was very loyal, he was also suspicious about the number of nearly 100 cars.
"Hmph, of course, don't you look at who your brother is, those orcs are so scared when they see my brother that they don't even dare to chase after him, and my brother also subdues a young dragon, and the orcs will be opponents." Lilia is definitely a master, what Arthur said was right, and what Arthur did was extremely correct.
Strengthening food and subduing the young dragon does sound like the work of a demon king, but if you want to raise the level of this demon king to another three or four levels, even if it is the level of the great demon master, Ashuk will never ask such a stupid thing.
But what class is Arthur, an apprentice! Is that young dragon demented? Can't you run if you can't beat it?
Well, it was really guessed by Ashuk, the little female dragon is indeed not much better than dementia, although it is either sugar or mother, but you have to take a sack of candy to find it, and it is not difficult to be a father or something.
Ashuk knew the identity of the half-goblin, the guardian of the world, and also knew that the half-goblin could not make a move except to protect Arthur, could it be that the young dragon took the initiative to attack the demon king, this was also the only possibility that Ashuk could think of.
The pack wagons were urgently assembled under the transfer of the lord, and in order to ensure the speed of transportation, not only 10 were prepared, but also two more surplus ones were prepared as backups.
The townsfolk of the town also heard the news, after all, according to Arthur's request, after Lilia finished delivering the news, she asked the guards to spread the news to every corner of the town while running. (To be continued.) )
