Chapter 150: Confrontation!
Zhao Feng's killing of Omar, who was causing trouble at his wedding, quickly caused a sensation in the Aylas region.
Because it was Na Omar who took the initiative to stir up trouble at Zhao Feng's wedding, and took the initiative to attack Zhao Feng, and was killed by Zhao Feng in the name of attacking the nobles' legitimate defense, Count Na Bourne didn't say anything for a while.
However, the relationship between the two families broke down, and the Earl of Byrne quickly fought back, prohibiting Zhao Feng's subordinates from continuing to recruit refugees in the camp in Ayras City, and at the same time prohibiting Zhao Feng's caravan from passing through his territory, and other means to suppress Zhao Feng.
Many of the nobles who were attached to the Earl of Byrne formed a group, and together they found all kinds of excuses to prohibit Zhao Feng's caravan from passing through their territory, to make things difficult for the caravan close to Zhao Feng, and to prevent adventurers from entering Zhao Feng's territory from their territory.
Although Zhao Feng could still buy supplies from the edge of the territory, in that case, the freight would be greatly increased. Moreover, if the adventurers could not enter Zhao Feng's territory and enter the Demon Domain Forest to take risks, Zhao Feng would also lose this large source of taxes.
You must know that those adventurers can bring a lot of wealth, and all kinds of goods they have obtained from desperately adventuring in the Demon Domain Forest will be consumed in Zhao Feng's territory, and they will eat, rest, and entertain, which is a huge amount of money. And it can create a lot of jobs!
By doing so, Earl Bourne was cutting off Zhao Feng's financial route, trying to drag down the economy in Zhao Feng's territory, and let Zhao Feng collapse peacefully due to lack of money.
"Lord Earl, if they blockade us like this again, it will not have much impact in the short term, but in a long time, it will have a great impact on our economy. Zhao Feng's internal affairs officer, Brace, came to Zhao Feng's study worriedly and reported to him.
"Has our grain stopped being exported to them?" Zhao Feng tapped his index finger on the table and asked lightly.
"According to your order, after your wedding, all grain exports have stopped!" Brace looked at Zhao Feng with admiration, the food problem was the biggest problem that plagued those in power.
Zhao Feng's territory now has a population of nearly 200,000, and it has only just been sown, and the new grain may not be harvested until a few months later. However, Zhao Feng was able to take out a large amount of grain to meet the needs of everyone in the territory, and he was also able to export a small part of it in exchange for gold coins. Brace didn't know how Zhao Feng did it, but he knew that every time he went to the granary, he could see a granary full of grain.
"Very well! In that case, you don't have to worry. Now you just need to focus on the construction of our territory, and organize all the unemployed in our territory to build roads and buildings, and we will pay their wages with food!" Zhao Feng ordered calmly.
"Yes, my lord!" Seeing Zhao Feng so calm, Brace was also sure in his heart, answered, and then retreated.
In the room, only Zhao Feng was left.
"Cold ice!" Zhao Feng said lightly to the empty room.
"Subordinates!" The void twisted, revealing the somewhat thin figure of the cold ice.
"You've heard the ins and outs of the matter. This is the first exam question I have given you! First, you can't kill any nobleman on your own initiative. Second, to cause a stirring that is very unfavorable to the Earl of Bourne. Can you do it?" Zhao Feng stared at Han Bing and said lightly.
"My lord, my subordinates will be able to complete the task you assigned to you perfectly. Rest assured. A cold light flashed in the cold eyes, and he replied coldly.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance!" Zhao Feng said lightly.
The void twisted, and the ice disappeared eerily again.
In the middle of the night, many people in the city of Ayras had already slept.
In the most important granary of Na Aylas City, there are one hundred third-level warriors, twenty swordsmen who have cultivated their fighting spirit, three seventh-level swordsmen, three intermediate magicians, and one high-level magician guarding the town.
In the granary of Aylas City, it is extremely important to store food for the residents of the entire Aylas City, so there are countless magic traps laid by magicians in it, including the magic traps laid by the eighth-level magisture himself, even the ninth-level Sword Master, don't think about sneaking into this granary silently.
A group of twenty warriors in leather armor strode toward the granary, and came to a large iron gate.
"Which squad are you fighters in? Before the great iron gate, a group of warriors stepped forward to stop the pair of warriors in leather armor, and the first captain in knight's armor shouted loudly.
"We are the 2nd Division of Aylas, the 16th Squad, the fighters who came to change shifts. I'm Captain Rosie!These are the soldiers of our squad!" a young man with blond hair in knight's armor stepped forward and said loudly.
The captain, who was the first to wear knight's armor, took out a roster and flipped through it, then shouted, "Report the names of all the people in your squad!"
"There are twenty of us in the team, and I'm Captain Rosie 、......、 Rosie!" Rosie said loudly.
"Rosie, who is your immediate superior?" said the captain, who was the first to wear knight's armor.
"Master Jerry Centurion!" said Rosie.
"Password!" continued the captain, the first to wear knight's armor.
"Roses are just rotting fertilizer!" Rossi said.
"Very well, I'm Captain Sainz of the Goalkeeper. What are you doing here?" asked Sainz.
"This is a change of guard order issued by General Reka, let's switch guards with the 22nd squad in the granary!" Rosie showed a document and handed it to Sainz.
Sainz took the change of guard order, carefully checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he said, "Open the door!"
The steel floodgates slammed open.
Rosie's 16th squad entered the depot.
After handing over to the 22nd squad, Rossi's 16th squad began patrolling the entire grain depot along a specific route.
In this granary land, there are all kinds of magic traps, if the ignorant people break at will, it will definitely trigger the magic traps, then in the city of Aylas, the magician guild, and the major churches will receive the news as soon as possible.
Every time he patrolled a grain depot, Rosie would pop out a little red light in his hand and sink into the grain depot.
After patrolling all the grain depots, Rosie smiled fiercely, slashed out several swords in succession, killed several soldiers around him in an instant, grabbed a few torches, and rushed towards the grain depot.
"Captain Rossi is crazy! Stop him! Captain Rossi is crazy!" suddenly came the screams of a soldier from the granary.
Countless warriors rushed to this direction, and the high-level magician also used the Wind Soaring Technique to fly towards this direction.
Narossi had barely run far to the grain depot when a magic trap was triggered, and an icicle suddenly erupted from the ground, freezing Narossi into ice.
An incomparably powerful force suddenly emerged from Rossi's body, instantly blasting his body to pieces and scattering in all directions.
The next moment, there was a sudden explosion in one grain depot after another, and the raging flames burned wildly in the grain depot, devouring the food that the residents of Aylas City depended on for their livelihood!
The warriors and magicians who were the guards looked at the raging fire, and a sense of despair welled up in their hearts, this time they were all in trouble. If all the food of the 800,000 people in this city of Aylas were to be burned, even the noblest magicians would be judged, and no one would be able to escape this great responsibility.
"Fight the fire!" shouted a swordsmith.
Then everyone woke up from a dream and began to put out the fire.
The magicians frantically used water and ice magic to attack the fire demon that devoured the grain storehouse, and achieved good results, but there were too many grain stores, and they only had three people to make a big difference.
This granary was very important to the food of hundreds of thousands of people, and soon thirty magicians from other places arrived to join in the firefighting.
Then many strong people came one after another and joined the firefighting.
No one noticed, in a dark corner, a thin man watched the scene with a pair of cold eyes, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Even though many strong people came to fight the fire, most of the grain depot was still burned down, and only a small half of the grain was rescued.
"Damn! damn bastard! What a cruel trick!" In the Earl's palace in the city of Aylas, the Earl of Bourne had a lot of gray hair on his head, and his gentlemanly demeanor was gone, and he slammed his fist on the table with a hideous face.
The Earl of Bourne had already received a report from his subordinates, and learned of the fact that most of the grain depot had been burned down, and he was almost so angry that he fainted, but he insisted on summoning his henchmen and the wonderful pair of children.
"Father, do you mean that Zhao Feng did this?"
"Who else but him!" said the Earl of Bourne, gritting his teeth.
"Does he really dare to do that? This is food for 800,000 people. If he really did it, we just have to go to the church and sue him, even if he is an earl, he will be punished!" Osborne said, almost thinner than he had been.
"Zhao Feng is not simple, since he dares to do this, he will not leave any evidence. Without any evidence, we simply can't do anything about him. From beginning to end, it seemed that this incident had nothing to do with him, and all his generals had witnesses who proved their alibi at the time of the incident. Without proof, the Church will not easily move an earl!" said the Earl of Byrne, with a grim expression.
"Then what shall we do, Father?" asked Osborne.
"Bear it! Bow your head to Zhao Feng for the time being, let him be proud for a few days. In a few days, I will make his family ruined rather than dead!" said the Earl of Bourne, with a grim expression.
