Chapter 10 Riding the Momentum

"That's a great blow."

Four days after Rao's surprise attack ended, Hua Feng and the others finally received belated news, which was absolutely unstoppable, even if those derelict nobles and military officials wanted to buy time and eliminate influence, but the flames that ignited close to a city were not so easy to explain, plus Rao's side deliberately expanded its influence.

After a delay of 3 days, the event finally reached this southernmost corner of the Taros Empire.

"Hey, Hua Feng, you also think this behavior is commendable!"

Pang Zhi couldn't accept, absolutely couldn't accept this kind of behavior of involving ordinary people in the war, and he understood the meaning of the other party's actions as soon as he received the news.

Of course, this was not to cut off the army's food supply, and even though there was still some time before the autumn harvest, the empire's food reserves were not yet fragile enough to burn down a granary to support the army.

His purpose was to provoke disputes, disputes between civilians and the state. Under normal circumstances, if there is information that the granary has been burned, then the grain merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, and this means will be difficult to curb unless the state mobilizes grain reserves to crack down.

You must know that the only merchants who can control the grain trade may be the great nobles, a part of the state, and it is completely impossible to rely on the law or officials to sanction them.

Now, with many cities in the north of the empire occupied or burned, and rebels in the south, and a granary burned down, it has become a difficult decision to move grain specifically to suppress food prices.

After all, the suffering of tens of thousands of people was too small compared to the survival of the entire empire.

And the inciting words have been left, "The law of the jungle, the pursuit of status, the pursuit of power, then use your own strength to seize everything." These are the words heard by the people who evacuated the fire.

It may seem like nothing more than the words of the middle two, but when the price of food rises and the merchants come to harvest, such seeds will bloom the most vicious words.

"I don't think you're in a position to rebuke them, you didn't also bring civilians into battle, or you just thought you were saving them."

There is no need to ask, Pang Zhi's face has not changed, he really thinks so, not kind, just a self-righteous guy.

"Forget it, I think now is a good time for us to march, even if the Talos Empire is just making a stance, their defense line will definitely shift to the north, and this is our chance to act."

Perhaps, that guy also calculated the action on this side, but this is also the basic of the basics, just like a pack of wolves devouring the enemy, never a strong onslaught, but through the attack of wolves in different directions to mobilize the enemy, when the defense is torn apart, it is the final blow.

"I agree."

As mentioned before, Pang Zhi is just a self-righteous guy, and all good and evil are only judged by himself, so even if his actions will destroy the lives of countless innocent people, he will not hesitate, or with his personal thinking mode, he is not able to make such a complex judgment.

"Then I consulted with them."

It's just a discussion rather than a notice, since everyone has become a traitor, then it is not natural to care about the intelligence of the empire, and the guys who have not received the news at this time have no need to become accomplices at all, and can be used as cannon fodder.

The previous meeting was not just a farce of intrigue with each other, taking advantage of this opportunity, the four parties agreed on the way to communicate, tied the plan of attack to the eagle's legs, and Hua Feng released the eagle.

"But just relying on us?"

There should be a backhand.,Pin all your expectations on others being able to act according to common sense.,Although this expectation is in line with common sense.,But judging from the information collected from the other party.,He's not a guy who follows common sense.,But a madman who wants to control everything.。

"What's your next move?"

Thinking about it, this is no longer just an act of interest, but a sincere effort to lay out for his side, in order to win, although his will to win is not strong, and his will not to die is not strong.

"Just do what you have to do." But that's all, compared to the other three who want to become stronger, his attitude at the moment is still very bad.

"Go ahead and burn the fire further."

"Lord Shichio, we don't need to do this, wouldn't it be better for the Empire to launch an attack on Rao and them before we take the opportunity to attack?" The Bandage Man's men are very loyal, loyal only to him.

"Loyalty is a good thing, but if you let the center blind, then you are too unqualified to be a counselor." Zhi Zhixiong's tone was very harsh, but there was only one sentence of reprimand, the other party had just come into contact with this position, and if he made a mistake at this time, only one reprimand was enough.

"You will find an order from the Judge Advocate General's Office to punish you, 20 strokes."

"Remember, we have only one enemy now - the Empire, no matter what our people do, the first task is to destroy the Empire, and only then can we consider the room for victory or defeat between us."

It is indeed effective to use the opponent as an outcast to attract firepower, but it can only be used if you can cause more damage to the empire, otherwise it is just an allusion to the death of your lips and teeth.

"Inform our hidden people, wait until the nobles raise the price, and immediately spread the word among the people, and if you see any grain cart entering the city, you will immediately intercept it and exchange it for ours."

It was only intercepted and not burned, and the rumor was that the aristocratic merchants hoarded food and wanted to sell it at a high price, not that the nobles wanted to starve the people to death. When food prices rise, the first wave of news is released to encourage civilians. Then snatch the grain, wait for the nobles' move, and if the other party really uses the food they provide, then release a second wave of news.

Merchants sell aged grain for profit. And it is quite possible that in order to mitigate the losses suffered by their own looting, the nobles absolutely did not mind passing on the losses to the commoners.

Then came the riots.

"Right now, our people are only lurking near the Northlands, and their influence on the empire may not be big enough."

That said, simply doing so may not be a big enough blow to the Empire.

"It's not just us." Zhi Zhixiong remembered the guy he had just summoned by the Black King before leaving, and that person's mind had been completely destroyed, and he didn't even know who he was.

However, he has an extraordinary skill in hiding himself and assassinating others.

"It's time for you to act, to get the most important stab in the heart of the Empire."

"Why am I doing this, in order to destroy this world, in order to destroy the ordinary lives of those people, or for what." The man with the white hood did not act.

"As a human being, you should never do that."

"Nothing is true, everything is allowed." The Black King paused after saying this, "I've heard you say something like that before. ”

It's like a demon's tone seducing others.

"Then I'll do it." The hooded figure vanished.

"You're not an assassin, you're just an experiment, an experimenter who has forgotten who you are, and now you're killing for justice, killing for destruction, killing for salvation, and killing for revenge."

It is indeed the language of demonic temptation, who tempts the confused man into the path of irreredeemable hell.
