Chapter 128, the aftermath is rippling

Suddenly, Bear Stearns' eyes rolled, and he jumped out with all four feet.

Hudson, who was caught off guard, was almost thrown out if he hadn't caught the bear fur in time.

If you overturn at this speed, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

was disabled by his own mount, and unknowingly thought that he used despicable means to force the monster to sign a contract, which caused a backlash.

I don't care about settling accounts with Bear Stearns. The intense friction with the air forced Hudson to deal with it carefully.

Fortunately, he was still a magician, and he added a magic shield to himself in time.

The speed of the charge was too fast, far faster than the locusts could fall. If Hudson had been slower, close contact with the locusts would have been inevitable.

Unlike their own bears, their skin is rough and thick, and they don't feel any of these small ones. His little face had close contact with locusts, and the consequences were unimaginable.

The distance of several miles, the destination is instantaneous, and this bear speed is simply flying.

In fact, there's nothing wrong with flying. Aside from his four-legged kicks at the start, Bear Stearns' short legs were almost never in contact with the ground.

He even broke several bare trees along the way, and the branches of the trees stretched out nearly punctured Hudson's magic shield.

When it comes to the pit owner, this product is definitely professional.

There is no need to deliberately target, just instinctive habits, can pit people to death.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the people who have Warcraft mounts in the Aslant continent are all strong. The guy who is not strong can't bear the talent attributes of his own Warcraft instinct pit teammates at all.

Before Hudson could adjust to the rapid "bear", Bear Stearns suddenly turned around and headed straight to the left. The thrilling sharp turn shook him so much that he almost threw up on the spot.

I didn't get sick before the crossing, but I didn't expect that after the crossing, because the speed of the mount was too fast, the "bear" was stunned, which made Hudson angry.

If it weren't for the fact that he could vaguely see a huge locust in front of him, fleeing in a hurry, he would have to ......

Never mind!

Now the occasion is not right, people are on the back of a bear, and they don't speak hard.

As expected, after experiencing a high-speed "bear" and a sharp turn, he was greeted by a sharp brake.

The huge force of inertia allowed Hudson to firmly grasp the bear's fur and put his body against the bear's back.

Before he could understand what was going on, he saw Bear Stearns carry the stunned insect king in the bear's paw and show off his achievements to him.

From beginning to end, there was such a slap, and the invincible insect king went directly to the street.

At this moment, Hudson suddenly understood why the Warcraft Mountain Range had never had a locust plague.

A juvenile earth bear, it's so simple to clean up the insect king. I don't know how many high-level demonic beasts in the entire Warcraft Mountain Range are, and how many insect kings and insect emperors are not enough for people to kill.

If the army of locusts swept through the gathering place of demonic beasts, it would also be adding food to others.

The army of locusts is poisonous, and that's only for ordinary people. With the physical fitness of the demonic beast, I am afraid that I don't even feel the little toxin.

"What the hell are you doing with Bear Stearns?

Why don't you alert me?

Do you know how dangerous it is just now, it's almost ......"

Before Hudson could finish speaking, the bear cub retorted, following his usual tone, "Settle!

Such a little thing, all frizzy, what big thing can it be?

I can't bear any hardship, and I'm embarrassed to complain here, it's like losing the bear's face.

When it comes to danger, you're so thick-skinned. From start to finish, you're watching the play.

Everyone else is fighting with Warcraft, you follow this bear to rub the credit, and you have to ask me to cover you along the way, it's really a piece of rotten wood and unbearable.

If it weren't for taking care of you, I would have finished my work a long time ago.

Forget it, it's bad luck to run into your combat partner.

Just ......"

Hudson, who was preemptively buttoned by a bear and was speechless, directly began to doubt his life.

Isn't this fool sleeping all the time, how to learn these routines secretly.

Reason told him that when dealing with official business in the future, he must avoid this guy.

Otherwise, raise a bear who can play politics out, and God knows what will happen in the future.

"Enough, Bear Stearns! You just did it on purpose!

The Earth Bear clan has always been known for being honest and honest, how can you be a rogue bear? ”

Hudson said angrily.

What happened just now, it is still a bit far-fetched to say that the bear cub did it on purpose. If you really want to trap him, just a magic shield is not a big deal.

It's just that looking at this arrogant appearance, Hudson is a fire in his belly. Look at the jokes of his master, it's simply ......

Forget it, don't worry so much about a bear.

The main thing is that there is no way to care, and after losing the worm king to Hudson, Bear Stearns once again aims for a new target.

As a Bear Rider, Hudson's heart is broken. The Earth Bear is so fast that it's like driving a supersonic motorcycle, and it feels like it's going to the sky.

Fortunately, this time the bear cub had experience, and before taking action, he knew that he had been blessed with the magic of earth protection.

It's finally stable. Hudson, who doesn't have to worry about being thrown out at any time and doesn't have to worry about the "bear" vomiting too quickly, finally has the heart to play - "Hurricane Bear".

Among the billions of locusts, if you enter a realm without insects, it feels like a stimulus. The speed of the frenzy made Hudson, who had come up with adaptability, sublimated his whole person.

The one person and one bear who played hi kept shuttling among the insects, making a bad start for everyone. Soon everyone followed suit, and even ignored the defense area.

Watching a group of strong men toss in the army of locusts, Earl Pierce's heart was broken. It's all a group of uncles, and his face as a governor is not enough.

Gradually, he discovered that something was wrong, and the army of locusts that was attacked by a group of strong men scattered in all directions, although it was constantly disrupting, the ultimate goal was the southeastern province.

Before that, the army of locusts gathered, and they only had to block the way of the army.

Now the army of locusts is scattered, and the range of activities is constantly expanding; The number of locusts breaking through from weak areas is also increasing.

"Someone moved his hands and feet to deliberately lure the locusts to the southeast province!"

The thought never lingered on Earl Pierce. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough in this wave, and in the shortest possible time, he invited all the strong people who could be pulled out in the province.

If you learn from your next-door neighbor and wait for the locusts to overflow, and then organize a master to hunt and kill the locusts, then the calf will be finished.

It's just that I don't know which force I have offended, so I want to make trouble for the Dalton family at any cost.

The medicine to lure locusts is not cheap, and such a large-scale army of locusts, with a steady influx, is purely paving the way for locusts with gold coins.

Spontaneously brought into the back pot, it is not that Earl Pierce is brainless. It is precisely because of the brains that this conclusion will be reached.

Although there are many large and small nobles in the southeastern provinces, they are qualified to offend a big force, and the only one who makes the other party helpless is the Dalton family.

It's useless to know, the size of the locust army is too large. To be able to get rid of the Worm King, it takes all your might. It is almost impossible to exterminate all the locusts.

……

The preparations for the fight against the locust plague are being carried out in an orderly manner. All the grain that can be harvested is harvested in advance. The rest was really confiscated, and they could only bear the locust plague.

Tens of thousands of people prepared for war together, without the slightest panic. I have to admit the importance of talent.

If it had been left before, if this kind of thing had happened, if Lord Hudson had not been there, the territory would have been chaotic a long time ago.

There is nothing new in the method, it is all manual capture + smoke and fire. The high-end locust extermination method within the magic potion is not yet something that the mountain leader can master.

The situation in the nearby territories is generally similar. All the lords were trying to prepare for battle, although most knew in their hearts that these primitive methods did not work very well.

The work of fighting the locust plague still needs to be carried out. It doesn't matter how many locusts are killed, the key is to put yourself in a good posture and increase the confidence of the people.

The more catastrophic the year, the more necessary it is to reassure the people. The cult organizations lurking in various places have long been unwilling to be lonely and are waiting for an opportunity to launch them.

The two counties of Laite and Wyton, which have suffered much from the war, are not doing well this time. All levels have been cleaned up, and cults, big and small, have basically been wiped out in the last turmoil.

The nobles who ruled the two counties, except for the uneven ability of individual inheritors of the family business, most of the lords did not lack means.

Fallen Leaf Town, went to the Governor's Palace to sign up to fight the locust plague, but was persuaded to retire by his uncle on the grounds that his strength was too poor, which made Baron Cayo very faceless.

Fortunately, not many people know about this, and Baron Cayo was able to block the news in time, otherwise it would be a loss if it spread.

"Lack of strength", this evaluation is too hurtful. originally thought that his strength was not bad among the younger generation, but the reality was very slap in the face.

It can only be said that talent can't be forced, even if it is a large amount of resources, Baron Cayo can only catch up with the ordinary level.

Holding back the anger in his stomach, he naturally needs to find a place to send it. Baron Cayo naturally set his eyes on his neighbor.

"Young master, this locust plague is menacing, and according to the news from the Governor's Palace, it is inevitable that it will affect the province.

According to the available information, even if we don't need to do anything, the locust plague will spread to Wyton and Lyte.

If chemicals are introduced, it will undoubtedly make the disaster worse. If you only put potions into a few of their territories, it is very likely that people will see that there is a problem.

Any clue that this kind of thing shows is likely to be suspected. On the contrary, the slightest flaw is revealed, which is a fatal blow to your reputation.

Otherwise, if we put something in an adjacent area, we will be able to achieve the same effect without being suspicious of us. ”

The old butler tried his best to persuade him.

Deep down, he was against that. Although these potions were made by Baron Cayo himself, not many people knew about them. But there are no impermeable walls in this world.

Once the news leaks, the nobles of the province will remember the locust plague on his head. If things get to that point, even the Dalton family can't cover it.

"Don't worry, Fauber. I'm not that stupid, this kind of thing naturally needs to be blamed.

The harvest work in the territory is over, and even if I lose all the rest, I can afford it.

simply came up with a wave of bitter meat schemes, temporarily wronged the local nobles, and gave this pot to the northern nobles.

With the power of these potions, no matter where they are placed, they will be affected for hundreds of miles, and no one will be able to avoid them.

If it weren't for a windfall, I wouldn't have been able to make it. This is the best opportunity, and it will be difficult to control the two counties if you miss it. ”

Baron Cayo said indifferently.

It's nothing to be cruel to others, the key is to be ruthless to yourself. didn't even let go of his own territory, if it was said that he threw poison, it was estimated that if it was spread out, no one would believe it.

……

The city of Dadir, with the news of the locust plague, the city, which had just recovered a bit of prosperity, fell into depression again.

The grain stores controlled by the lord's mansion have begun to supply a limited amount per person per day, and the price has soared to the sky.

The high cost of living has made countless businessmen passively choose to move. Baron Sith was also very helpless, he was buying high-priced grain, and there was no room for price reduction.

The most important thing is that after the disaster came, the nearby noble lords tightened their belts and suspended all unnecessary expenses.

All kinds of entertainment venues are closed. All kinds of luxury goods and optional consumer goods also lost their markets overnight.

Now the best commodities to sell are grain and cloth, followed by salt, iron products and farm tools can also be sold, and other non-rigid commodities are more sellers than buyers.

It's a small thing to don't make money, and the key is to lose money when you open the door. Merchants are the best at tending to the pros and cons, and after assessing the resilience of the local noble lords, they quickly came to the conclusion that it was worse.

If you don't leave while the order is still there, when the locust plague sweeps over, after the food shortage breaks out, and when there are "bandits and bandits" everywhere, you can't run away if you want to.

Everyone was worried that if life really didn't go on, the Sith Lord, who now seemed kind, would be the first to raise a butcher's knife against them.

Prejudice is so serious, even if Baron Sith has always done a good job, everyone's prejudice against the nobles of the Northland has long been formed.

Pinching a flying grasshopper to death, Baron Sith asked reluctantly, "Faeron, do you say that this locust plague is really unavoidable?" ”

As a result of hard work, no one is willing to give up, but in the face of natural disasters, manpower is too slim.

"Young master, these scattered grasshoppers are not a threat now. But these inconspicuous little things, once they gather into an army, it will be the most terrifying disaster.

What is even more worrying is that this locust plague has signs of man-made behind it. This makes it even more difficult to contain the disaster.

Small kiosk app

Everyone is preparing for the worst, and some territories have begun to deliberately reduce the number of orc slaves in order to reduce food consumption.

The mountain territory that you are most concerned about is now catching grasshoppers in the territory to dry and store. It is said to be for feeding livestock, and I think it is mostly for orcs.

Once the locust plague hits, the mountain baron may only be able to artificially reduce the number of orc slaves due to the pressure of food.

Almost all the lords issued orders prohibiting male and female serfs from marrying and having sex together. These are all preparations in advance for the possible food shortage in the future.

The local aristocracy reacted so violently, let alone us outsiders. Several nearby provinces have also been hit by locust plagues, and even if they want to buy food from outside, they can't do it.

At this point, we had to prepare for the worst. If the merchants want to leave, let them go, just to reduce some food consumption.

Leave a few incense sticks, and when the disaster passes, invite them back. With this wave of experience, their confidence in the territory will also be strengthened in the future. ”

Butler Feren tried to persuade him.

In the year of the catastrophe, open source and reduce expenditure.

But the premise is that there must be enough food reserves. It's a pity that Dadir's reserves, that are seriously insufficient.

Even if all of this work is done. It is still difficult to support it until the beginning of spring next year.

In order to increase the food reserves, countless nobles organized people to go into the mountains and forests to hunt. All kinds of wild animals, this wave has also suffered from the catastrophe.

The inclusion of wild vegetables in grain reserves can only be considered a routine operation. Some kind of calculating lord even counts the bark and grass roots.

"Gradually reduce the number of slaves, and make them as normal as possible, so that they will not spread the word and affect their reputation.

Sell everything you can in it. Including those dancing girls, they will all be disposed of while they are still worth a little money.

From now on, the ration supply for all the people who do not work will be cut by half again. Keep only the most basic survival materials, and that's fine.

Mobilize all the connections we are secretly operating to purchase as much food as possible, as much as we can.

Send people to pay attention to the movements of the big grain merchants, and make a deal without capital when they have the opportunity. At this point, there is no need to pretend any more. ”

Baron Sith said expressionlessly.

It was as if he didn't care at all about the terrible consequences that this order might entail.

"Yes, young master!"

The old butler replied, without the slightest intention of admonishment. Cold, decisive, ruthless...... The same is the good quality of the nobility.

If you want to mix better in this competitive world, you must abandon all Madonna hearts and face this cruel world with the most rational mind.

……

The arbor county, the nobles who had successfully held back the locust army, did not rejoice. On the contrary, they are worried about the endless army of locusts.

After all, there is a limit to manpower, and the strong will also be tired. This is not just a few top powerhouses who have just started to fight hard, but now they have been replaced.

Having just returned to camp, Hudson was the brightest cub again. For no other reason, the whole body is full of worm kings.

Solving the five insect kings alone, and all of them were captured alive, this record is almost catching up with the sum of everyone.

It can only be said that the allure of animal milk and honey is too great, and if it weren't for Hudson's pull, Bear Stearns wouldn't want to come back now.

The bear can stand it, but the man can't stand it. After tossing for so long, Hudson was about to fall apart, and he had to force Bear Stearns to call it a day.

Of course, the main thing is that the insect king is not easy to catch at this time. Even if there are those who slip through the net, they are all far away.

Wise creatures don't stupidly send them to death knowing that there is danger ahead.

The fact that the army of locusts, which had originally gathered into one unit, is now scattered into several strands, is the best proof of this.

Although gathering together is conducive to their promotion, in the face of life, it is still more important to have a small life.

"The target of the locusts is very clear, that is, my southeastern province, even if I am forced to take a detour, there is no destination. It is now certain that locusts have been planted in the southeastern provinces.

Thankfully, you have taken action and scattered the army of locusts. Cut off the possibility of giving birth to the Worm Emperor, otherwise this disaster will really get out of control.

Who the thief is is not known for the time being. We can only remember this account first, and then settle it with them when we find it out in the future.

Next, I can only ask you to make persistent efforts to solve all the remaining insect kings. The kingdom will not forget the deeds of everyone. ”

It could be seen that Earl Pierce was really tired. Even the daily politeness was directly omitted.

Hudson felt that this also had something to do with the fact that everyone present was not easy to fool.

It's easy to draw a pie, but it's hard to cash it in. However, these strong men are easy to admit death, and if they dare to speak, they will not count, and they will dare to beat the governor's stuffy stick.

Instead of playing tricks to get into trouble, it is better to be sincere, and it is easier to gain everyone's favor.
