Chapter 128: Hope and Bad News
After the meeting, the representatives of all parties couldn't wait to leave the room and send the good news back to China, Lilith reminded Rob to pay attention to Merlin, and then quietly left the room with the people of the Wizards' Guild, leaving the room for the two of them.
"When are you going to leave?" After everyone left, Luo Luo rested his head on someone's chest and closed his eyes, as the situation continued to deteriorate, the two of them had their own missions, and the time together was getting shorter and shorter, so Luo Luo now cherished the brief time of each encounter.
"Two days later. Rob stroked the girl's hair and said softly, "I have a hunch that the final battle is coming soon, and I need to prepare before that." β
"I told President Lilith about the cultivation method of the Force, but the others are different from me, they don't have the Force virus on their bodies, and it will take at least a few years to comprehend the Force, President Lilith has already started to select qualified children, but they may not be able to help much in the short term. Luo Luo sighed, "I thought I had become stronger, and I no longer had to stand on the sidelines and worry about you like I used to, but in the end, I still can't help you." β
"What you're doing right now is already remarkable, and if you hadn't found a way to close those abyssal rifts, the casualties on the human side would have increased by at least a million more, and I wouldn't have been able to prepare for the next battle. β
"They...... Didn't you say before that President Leonardo da Vinci and Steines killed that guy named Pargos to deter that group of things?ββ the more people with endless lifespans, the more afraid of death. Lolo repeated someone's half-sentence.
"That's right, those things are cautious by nature, so the next time we will be presented with not just one enemy, but a group of enemies. β
"One...... A group?!" Luo Luo thought of the hundreds of pillars of light in the Secret Treasure World, and her scalp tingled, she couldn't imagine anyone who could fight against so many gods on her own.
However, the man in front of her whispered, as if he could read her thoughts, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Rob lowered his head and kissed the girl's eyes.
............
Lilith walked out of the door of the conference room and met Prime Minister Pushkin outside, who was standing by the door, seemingly waiting for her.
Obviously, he hadn't seen him for a few minutes, but Pushkin's face changed greatly, and he used all his strength to control it and not let his body tremble, but the beads of sweat on his forehead still betrayed the panic in his heart.
Lilith's heart sank suddenly, Pushkin has been sitting in the position of prime minister of the Lionheart Empire for more than twenty years, and he is a very mature politician, it stands to reason that dealing with chaos should be his basic cultivation, in other words, the way he is now also means that he has encountered a very difficult problem.
Lilith closed the door behind her, "Don't disturb Your Majesty, let's go to the other side." β
Pushkin nodded, resisting the panic in his heart, followed Lilith, and the two went down to a lounge on the second floor.
As soon as PushKing Kong entered the door, he spoke, "I just received bad news that Armored Rock City has been attacked by those monsters. β
"What?" Lilith was shocked, Armored Rock City is the first male city in the north, once the capital of the Black Dragon Dynasty, known as the fortress of Buluo, the city walls are stronger than New Telt, in addition to the 40,000 garrisons in the city, plus the two troops cruising and sweeping monsters nearby, can quickly pull up more than 150,000 armed forces in half a day.
This level of protection should not fall no matter how you look at it, but looking at Pushkin's appearance does not look like a joke.
"Because I was worried about the safety of food, I started to mobilize two months ago, and only one month's rations were left in the towns in the north, and all the rest of the food was sent to Kaiyan City, including a batch of supplies to support the Holy Alliance, which was now all burned to ashes. A miserable smile appeared on Pushkin's face.
"What?!" Lilith lost her voice, she finally understood why Pushkin was so dispossessed.
Because Kaiyan City is strong and safe enough, it was chosen by Pushkin as a granary, but I didn't expect that it was the most unlikely place where something happened first, and Kaiyan City was attacked, and there was a sense of conspiracy from head to toe, and the style of those monsters has always been to abandon big towns, specifically harass small towns and villages, kill and injure humans as much as possible, and destroy production, but this time it was unusual, and no one expected that they would target Kaiyan City.
"How would they know that all the grain and grass in the north are concentrated in Kaiyan City?" was the question that Lilith couldn't understand the most.
"The Church of Endurance. Pushkin almost squeezed these four words out of his teeth, "This attack has a lot to do with them." Those monsters that had already scattered their actions suddenly assembled in Kaiyan City, and it only took less than a quarter of an hour to capture the south gate, and they all had their shadows behind them. β
Lilith sighed, her worst fears had come true, after the church sided with the humans, there were other people who took over the previous work of the temple and were willing to become the lackeys of the gods, with these internal shoulds to infiltrate and gather information, those monsters were no longer blindly attacking, but became organized and purposeful, which also made them more difficult to deal with.
But those monsters are an afterthought, and there is a more serious problem in front of the two of them at the moment, the northern towns only have a month's ration left, and the famine in the Holy Alliance has begun to spread, and a large number of victims have fallen, and their hope of survival is all on the relief materials that follow, but just now, these things were also burned by a fire.
"I transferred two floating batteries to rush over, and it only took one day to take the city back. β
"It's useless, even if you can get it back, it's just an empty city. Lilith tried her best to calm down, but she didn't have a good solution to the current situation, the food problem is a clichΓ©, everyone knows what those things want to do but still can't do anything, this is also the most powerless place, the food problem is getting more and more serious, there was still time for them to think about the response plan in the past, but this time it is really time to run out of food.
No wonder even Pushkin, the old prime minister, was a bit out of character.
"Didn't you collect food from elves and dwarves before, and what happened?"
Pushkin shook his head, "I raised the price, it is close to three times the market price, but they don't seem to want to get involved in our war with the gods, the royal family has issued a ban on sales, and can only buy grain through smuggling channels among the people, but the quantity is limited, if it really comes to the point of last resort, we may only have to give up a part of the population." β
