Chapter 129: A Huge Convoy!

Ayras City was originally a giant city with a population of 300,000 people, but after the terrible insect plague, humans within a radius of thousands of miles around it poured into this giant city, and the population of Ayras City suddenly tripled, becoming a million people.

If it weren't for the great churches that had been prepared, the influx of 600,000 people would have been overwhelming.

However, Rao was prepared for the great churches, and the population of 600,000 was not a small number, and most of the latecomers could only gather in designated areas, places like refugee camps, waiting for the church to distribute rations every day.

Many refugees could not stand the squalid living conditions in the camps, and they could not fill their stomachs, but they could not starve the relief food of the dead, and they sold themselves into slavery to the nobles in the cities.

Rao is the price of the slave has been extremely cheap, those nobles do not dare to buy more, each slave is equivalent to an extra mouth to eat, although the nobles living in the city have a lot of money, but no one knows when the plague will pass, the price of food is rising, and there is even a phenomenon of no price in the market. Whenever a batch of grain appeared, it would be snapped up by the nobles within a short period of time and hoarded for emergencies.

Unlike the vibrant giant city established by Zhao Feng, the city of Ayras has always been shrouded in a layer of gloom, and people are afraid that they can't see tomorrow or the future.

The supreme ruler of the city of Naelas was originally Count Byrne Sesi, and among the fiefdoms that belonged to him for thousands of miles, he had more power than the kingdom of Panturo.

The outbreak of the horrible plague put an end to this, and by this time the supreme ruling body of the city of Aylas had become a temporary council of archbishops of the churches in Ayras City, Count Byrne Cessi, and the nobles of the city.

All decisions were made by the Provisional United Council, and the order to burn the nobles who had fled back from the First War Zone on the front was also signed by the Provisional United Council.

In this provisional united council, the other nobles were the foils, and it was the archbishops of the churches and the Count of Berne Ceci who really held the power of the provisional united council.

At this time, the provisional joint council is meeting to discuss how to deal with the plague.

"We have just received information that the three cities of Giant Wood City, Jade City, and Manchester City have all fallen. According to information revealed by the survivors. The bugs used a gradual cannibalization tactic, destroying all the human castles around them before concentrating their forces on our most heavily defended cities. In the offensive and defensive battles of those three cities, in the end, the number of insects that each city had to face exceeded one million, and there were dozens of ninth-level insect powerhouses, and one insect people sanctuary powerhouse participated in the battle. The situation is extremely unfavorable to us!" said Count Byrne Sethi, who presided over the Speaker of the Parliament, with a dignified appearance and a good temperament, and a beard with two small mustaches.

With the continuous fall of various human castles in front, this Aylas City has been exposed to the first front line against insects, and Count Byrne Ceci cannot retreat, otherwise his fate will be the same as the dozen or so humans who were burned at the stake, and he doesn't even dare to send his family to the rear, because in the rear, there is also the insect swarm raging, which is not as safe as his Ayras City.

"Millions of bugs, and the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, we only have 20,000 defenders in Aylas City, how can we resist it. Lord Earl of Bourne. Can you get the kingdom to send troops to our aid?" asked a young nobleman above the council.

"The main force of the kingdom just fought a fierce battle with three swarms with a scale of more than one million not long ago, defeated them, and their own damage was not small, so they are temporarily unable to send troops to support us. The only thing we can rely on is ourselves. Earl Byrne shook his head and said heavily.

"Count Bourne, I heard that recently in our war zone, there was a great magician named Zhao Feng who built a huge city with a wall of thirty meters in fifteen days. This magician named Zhao Feng also took the initiative to attack after the insect plague, eliminated many insects, and saved many people. We should send an order to summon him to help defend the city of Aylas. A middle-aged nobleman suggested.

"The summoning order has been issued, but he has been out hunting the insect swarm for more than a month. The summoning order was not in his hands. Earl Byrne said slowly.

"Then since Zhao Feng went out to hunt the insect swarm, then there must be enough defense troops left in his giant city, and we will requisition half of the defense troops in his giant city and come to our Ayras City to defend on his behalf?" a middle-aged nobleman suggested.

If half of the troops that originally had enough defense were requisitioned, the defense power would definitely be greatly reduced, and the defense power of the Miracle City would be greatly reduced.

The descendants of these former strong people, although the nobles did not have the strength of their ancestors, they were not stupid at all, and quickly pointed out the key. As long as Aylas City can be defended, they will not care what becomes of other people's territories.

"Zhao Feng is also a lord and has his own territory, what if he refuses to send people to support him because he must hold on to his territory?" asked a young nobleman worriedly.

"If he refuses to send reinforcements and disobeys the orders of the United Council, we will burn him at the stake!" cried a middle-aged nobleman.

It was the common interest of all the nobles in Ayras City to recruit Zhao Feng's troops to come to Ayras City for defense, and that middle-aged nobleman dared to be so arrogant.

Earl Byrne glanced at those high-ranking archbishops of the church, and saw that these giants who really held great power and power were all old and cunning without saying a word, obviously not wanting to offend Zhao Feng, the future human hero lord who took the initiative to hunt the insect swarm, so he had to hate in his heart, and said slowly, "Then today's first proposal, recruit half of the guards of Lord Zhao Feng's territory to come to Ayras City for defense." Voting begins!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

“......”

At the top of the council, most of the nobles raised their hands in favor of the bill, while almost all the archbishops of the church abstained.

"More than two-thirds of the people agreed with the bill, which is now in effect. Is there any new bill being proposed?" inquired the Earl of Bourne.

"I propose that the young and strong refugees be recruited into the army, and that they be given some simple training at once, and that they be able to support the battlefield if necessary. A nobleman suggested.

“.......”

The parliament has been discussing and passing bills one after another.

At this moment, Timia, the intelligence officer of the Earl of Byrne, rushed into the council hall with an excited face.

"Good news, good news, good news, Lord Count!" said Timia with great excitement as she ran up to Count Byrne.

"Timya, be calm, what the hell has happened to make you so out of shape and break into the solemn council. Earl Byrne frowned and asked aloud.

"The Great Magician Zhao Feng, who established the City of Miracles in fifteen days, is leading his subordinates, and the forelimbs of the insects pulling two hundred carriages are walking towards the side of Ayras City. It's almost at the gates of the city. It is said that he killed a million bugs alone, and this time he came to Ayras City to pay for the bugs' forelimbs in exchange for merit. Timia said loudly.

These days, the city of Aylas is plagued by the threat of the bugs, the whole city is lifeless, and the Earl of Byrne has a gloomy face about this matter all day long, so Timia wants to take this opportunity to boost his morale and eliminate some of his troubles for the Earl of Bourne.

Hearing the good news, all the nobles in the United Council closed their mouths, their hearts full of shock. Killing millions of insects with the power of one person, such a feat, even the Great Magister is very difficult to do, only the legendary Sanctuary powerhouse spent more than ten days, it is possible to kill so many insects. They were actually discussing behind them to plot against a subordinate of a Sacred Domain powerhouse, and they were definitely tired of it.

The nobleman who had just clamored to burn Zhao Feng at the stake was even more frightened and sweaty, his face pale, and sweat slid down his fat and white face and dripped to the ground.

Earl Bourne's face was also very ugly, because he presided over the approval of the proposal to seize Zhao Feng's subordinates just now.

"Ahem! That's good news. Let's go out of the city together to meet this mage Zhao Feng who has single-handedly exterminated a million insect swarms, he is a hero among us humans, a legend of the future!" the fair-eyed, white-haired archbishop of the Temple of Light suggested with a light cough.

"Indeed, we should go out of the city to meet this human hero who has single-handedly slaughtered a million swarms. Archbishop Vines, who had the red hair and was dressed in the fiery red Flame Temple Archbishop's robes, nodded.

"I'm also curious about what kind of young hero this young mage is said to be only eighteen years old. "A man who is about thirty years old, but there is no wrinkle on his face, his skin is as delicate as a girl, and there is a charm between his eyebrows.

The three bishops proposed, and the rest of the people naturally had no objection, so they left the council and went out of the city. The bill to recruit Zhao Feng's subordinates to come to defend was forgotten by everyone who chose their surnames.

When the members of the council came to the gate, they saw a huge convoy in the distance, led by a young man riding a swamp crocodile and wearing a great mage's robe, and a girl in a knight's armor and looking handsome sat in front of him.

As the huge convoy got closer and closer, everyone clearly saw the goods carried in the huge convoy, in the huge convoy with more than 200 horses, 300 oxen, and 200 donkeys pulling carts, the forelimbs of the scorpion insects in each wagon were piled up, like a small mountain, and the wheels of the cart of goods left extremely deep traces on the ground.
