Chapter 188: Food Crisis

How many servants there are in others, Arthur doesn't know, as the most prepared and the most inherited legacy of the former Demon King, Iguoda will definitely bring the overwhelming servants to his feet.

The Four Heavenly Kings, the Eight King Kongs, and the Thirty-two Demon Generals, there are a lot of them, plus Igda himself, the demon commander, is so powerful that it is dizzying.

Of course, for the sake of safety, these servants will not gather around Arthur like headless flies all at once, after all, don't forget, Arthur is the target of many candidates.

These minions are needed to gather forces in various places to distract the Demon King, so that Arthur, a weak Demon King, can grow up more safely.

"It's good intentions, but you have some dry goods!" Igda was so happy that he didn't know which remote continent he had gone to.

But Arthur still has to face an unlucky war, yes, the weather is getting warmer, and the orc cavalry that has been plundering in the south for more than 2 months is back!

The city lord's mansion once again sent urgent reports, and those townspeople scattered outside the city gathered again, and as the safest town in the surrounding area, Morado gathered a large number of civilians from the surrounding villages and towns that were attacked by orcs.

Arthur, the logistics officer, was originally quite idle, but when there were many of them, he couldn't rely on a few tenant farmers to count them.

Most of the civilians who increased did not bring any food, and were either robbed by the orcs when the city was broken, or most of them hid before they came, so that they could cope with the initial spring famine after the beginning of spring next year.

"Grain, grain, grain, all of them want food, why don't you want to think about what we can eat next year?" Frick Canon was running out of hair, and the surviving towns around him were no different from what he had encountered. It's just that Morado is the most well-preserved, and the grain reserves are also the largest.

But the problem is that, with the addition of a new influx of people into Morado. The original town of more than 2,000 people has been squeezed out of 3,000 people. With such a large consumption of food, even Morado cannot afford it.

Even if you hold on for half a month, after the orc wolf rides into the north, the south will be able to come down safely, but in this cold and snowy land and there is no food, is it possible to drive people away by force?

The north is in the middle of the grain because the snow fell too early. As a result, large quantities of grain from the far south were not escorted to the north at all.

The places where the real food is rich are all in the big cities in the central and southern regions, but the big cities also have the suffering of the big cities, and the northern kingdom is in a hurry to hand over the grain to supplement the rations of the army and the common people.

And his southern subordinate towns and territories, that is, the provision of these grains, lacked one by one to cry out for food.

The city nobles who have no choice but to bet their tasks on the relatively wealthy towns of Morado, but the landlord's family has no surplus food these days, even if they have gold coins. Arthur couldn't buy extra food.

In the past, the orcs invaded, and as long as they survived the winter, there would naturally be merchants from the Middle Kingdom. Take a large amount of grain and trade north, which can not only earn gold coins, but also alleviate the food shortage in the Halfwinter Kingdom, allowing them to regain their strength and continue to defend against the orcs.

But this year it is difficult to say, the war report shows several kingdoms in the middle, especially in the northern region near Morado. It was also a lot of rage, and it is estimated that he will have to mobilize food from areas further south that have not been affected by the disaster. If you want to support the Halfwinter Kingdom, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer.

"Lord. There is still food, but according to the current standards, it is estimated that there will only be enough food for 3,000 people until the beginning of February. "Arthur was completely pressed to the task of the logistics supervisor this time because of his outstanding performance, not only the barracks, but also all the available food stocks in the entire town, and finally came to such a result.

When the orcs invaded in October, it had just entered winter, and according to the weather of the Midwinter Kingdom, Morado in the south could wait until spring bloomed in February.

But it's useless for the flowers to bloom, there is no food for the whole family, I am afraid that not only the grain, but even the seeds that the farmers are going to keep will be eaten a lot.

The second year is definitely a big reduction in production, the scale will spread throughout the entire south and the Halfwinter Kingdom, no matter how big Arthur's ability is, he can't make extra food, and the remaining stocks of his family are barely enough to fill the stomachs of dozens of people.

Arthur and Lilia can't eat much, but what about the young devil and the little greenskin? Well, Arthur the little greenskin can not raise so much, except for the instructor team, everything else can be temporarily wild in the forest.

But the young devil has to eat and drink, right? Arthur's land still has to be cultivated by them, and it is estimated that these young demons will be used even in battle.

Arthur was originally not very optimistic about the combat power of the young devil, after all, he was only an eliminator, and his strength was about the same as that of an adult at most.

But who would have thought that after Oys's training, these young devils would be reborn, and they would not mention such trivial things as dragging wood to open up wasteland, but this marching formation was so neat, and what about good excavators and good coolie laborers? What are you doing here?

Arthur originally thought that Oyce would be a temporary commander to teach these young demons the basics of the main world, but he didn't fight anyway, and he didn't need his professional skills.

But he forgot that the master of the battle formation is not a master of war, and he can arrange the troops in a neat and accurate battle formation like an arm, and he will definitely not be a weak hand in training.

Not only is it not weak, but it is definitely not inferior to the talent of the training master, these young demons have grown up in battle, they are familiar with killing and have strong courage, and they are even more forbidden under the constraints of the contract, and they are completely the best candidates to cultivate into battle array weapons.

It's not strong, it doesn't matter, the battle array is a weapon that defeats the strong with the weak, as long as there is a weapon, condensed into a ball, even the dragon can be slaughtered for you.

Arthur originally saw that under the leadership of Oyce, these young demons were working well, so he continued to squeeze Aragorn and replenish it with a scale of 4 a week.

Anyway, there are a lot of sheds and two or three hundred of them, and Oyss can still take this group of young devils to hunt on his own, so Arthur doesn't care too much about the changes that have taken place in his land.

Oyss has been here for a month, and there are more than 20 young devils in Arthur's workshop, and when Arthur sends the young demons over for the last time, he sees the battle phalanx that Oyss has performed for himself.

The weapons are all sharpened long wooden sticks, which will be considered funny to others, how tall is the young devil? It's only one meter, and each of these sticks is more than 3 meters, and the young devil standing next to the stick stuck in the ground is like a schoolboy under the flagpole.

But when the young demons raise their sticks to the slogan of Oys, Arthur realizes that he is really wrong! (To be continued)
