Chapter 345: Stepping on the Holy Decree; Food in the city
The main hall of the castle.
When the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect arrived here, the people who should have come had almost arrived.
However, the number of people is much lower than it was a few days ago.
At that time, in the city lord's hall, there were more than seventy people sitting in total, including the sect masters of various sects, some scattered cultivators whose strength had reached the Void Dan stage or above, the capital protectors of the four major legions of North Stone City, and the shopkeepers of some commercial houses in the city, etc.
Among them, there are a full fifty-seven people who are strong above the Void Pill stage alone.
Among them, there are as many as twenty-three people whose strength has reached the third level of the Void Dan and above.
It can be said that the strong man is like a cloud, full of fighting spirit, and very confident.
Today, only about 40 people remain. Those who did not come were either seriously injured and had difficulty moving, or they were directly sacrificed.
Now, the Void Pill Stage powerhouse in this City Lord's Hall, counting his Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master, there are only thirty-two people.
It can be said that the damage is very serious.
"Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, you're here." When the sect master of the Tiannong Sect saw the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect coming over, he said hello.
Sect masters whose strength has not reached the Void Pill Stage are generally not allowed to enter the City Lord's Hall to participate in the meeting. However, because the sect master of Tiannong Sect has a specialty in agriculture and is in charge of the current food supply in Beishi City, he is also allowed to enter.
And some other forces, such as the Cold Stone Sect Xuanquan Sect and so on, because the strongest combat power in the sect was only in the foundation building period, so the sect master was not invited to enter the City Lord's Hall to discuss related matters at all.
"Hmm." The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect nodded. He looked around, sighed, and said, "The loss of personnel is really a bit too serious. ”
The Sect Master of Tiannong Sect nodded when he heard this, and he felt so too.
"If we continue to reduce our troops like this, sooner or later, our city will be destroyed." The Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect interjected at this time and said.
The Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect, the powerhouse of the Void Pill Sixfold, the Chixiao Sect is also a powerful three-grade sect, and it is one of the several major sects near the North Stone City.
"No, just hold on a little longer." The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect shook his head and said.
"Yes," the Sect Master of Tiannong Sect echoed, "When His Royal Highness the Little Prince arrives, all difficulties will be solved." ”
When the Chixiao Sect Master heard this, he just wanted to say something.
Ye Yu came in.
"Everyone." Ye Yu, the city lord of North Stone City, slapped the table. She is an unusually beautiful woman, with a good figure and a look full of charm. It's just that the hard work of the day seems to make her look quite tired.
"Stop chatting and let's get down to business. This time, I still want to discuss what we are going to do next. Is there anyone who can come up with any good solutions? ”
Ye Yu said.
She said she brought everyone over to discuss what to do next.
"The current situation is really embarrassing." Gao Duhu of the Southern Legion said with a sigh. He was a heroic man, with a long sword stuck in his back: "Now we don't have much of the Void Pill period left, and there are even fewer people who have more than three Void Dans and can take the lead alone." ”
Gao Duhu's words caused everyone to fall silent.
Of course, they also understand that the shortage of manpower is the biggest problem right now.
"Now the enemy still has a lot of Void Pill Stage Beasts." The Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect spoke, "It is conservatively estimated that there are more than fifty Void Pill Stage Fierce Beasts on the other side, and in terms of strength, we are at an absolute disadvantage. Moreover, according to reliable information, in almost a day or two, the other side will have fierce beasts coming to reinforce them. Possibly, it was a whole ten Void Pill Stage Beasts. ”
The words of the Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect caused everyone to become more and more silent.
The enemy is too strong. Breaking the city may be a matter of the past few days.
And at this time, Li Duhu of the Western Legion asked, "What about our reinforcements?" ”
He looked at Ye Yu.
Ye Yu was silent for a moment, then bent down and took out a scroll from under his feet.
The scroll looks elegant, the paper is high-quality, and the bearings are painted in the shape of a dragon.
Everyone couldn't help but rub their eyes.
This thing is so familiar.
Isn't that the Holy Decree?
"Yes, that's the decree." Ye Yu said, "The holy decree I just received. Circulate it to you. ”
After speaking, Ye Yu threw the holy decree on the table.
On the back of the decree, there are obvious footprints.
Because Ye Yu usually doesn't wear shoes, these footprints are traces of the soles of his feet.
Many of the people present swallowed their saliva. Trampling the Divine Decree under your feet? Good boy! If this matter is spread out, isn't it going to kill the head?
But for now, people don't care about this. The Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect coughed and took it quietly.
As soon as he took this holy decree in his hand, the sect master of the Chixiao Sect didn't know which tendon in his brain was wrong, in short, he didn't open the holy decree without proceeding.
Instead, he brought the decree to his mouth, and then he had to stick out his tongue and lick the footprints on it.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him.
The Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect had just stretched out his tongue halfway, and he hadn't licked it yet.
He realized that his actions were inappropriate.
Then, with a cough and a silent face, he withdrew his tongue and laid the decree on the table.
While opening the holy decree, the Sect Master of Chixiao Sect explained intentionally or unintentionally: "Actually, I have cultivated a technique before. With the help of the tongue, you can try to find out if something is real or not. For example, I just tried it with my tongue, and sure enough, the decree was true. ”
The Chixiao Sect Sect Master explained so pale and weak.
But soon, the attention of the others was no longer on the moment when the Chixiao Sect Master had just made a sand sculpture.
Rather, they focused on the content of the decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor
The edict said:
Ye Yu, the city lord of North Stone City, received the order.
I have heard of the siege of North Stone City by the beast tide. The tide of beasts is large, and it may be too late to rescue. I hope you will organize the powerhouses of the Void Dan Period in your city, and escort a group of rich and noble families and scarce talents in the city to the Frozen City. There must be no mistakes. ”
When everyone present saw it, they all looked at each other for a while, and they were quite helpless.
Naturally, they understood the meaning of the edict.
It is to let these people, take some local rich people, some talents, etc., and run away quickly.
As for the more than four million people in the city, as well as the tens of thousands of monks, soldiers, and warriors, they were all abandoned.
"How so!" The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect slammed the table angrily and said angrily.
"Does that mean we won't have reinforcements?" The Western Legion said. After saying this, he fell silent.
Yes.
Although this edict was issued in the name of the emperor, I have heard that the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he has become delirious.
This edict was naturally issued by the eldest prince.
The eldest prince let them run away collectively, so naturally the eldest prince would not arrange reinforcements to help defend the Northern Stone City.
"Looks like there won't be any reinforcements." The Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect also nodded.
"This ...... This is actually a very wise and wise move. Du Hu of the Southern Warband said at this time, he was a staunch Great Prince, and of course he had to speak at this time: "Now, the power of the fierce beasts is so big, and our power is so small. Rather than everyone dying together in the end, it is better to leave behind useful forces to protect the other people. ”
"yes, yes...... That's the smart thing to do! The Sect Master of the Imperial God Sect said firmly: "Now like this, although this move is very difficult, it is obvious that giving up those millions of people is the real wise move!" ”
The suzerain of the Imperial God Sect, the powerhouse of the Void Pill.
"I think so too!" The Eastern Legion all nodded and said, "Although it's really cruel, it's really a helpless move!" ”
"Enough!" Ye Yu slapped the table at this time and shouted, "No matter what, no matter what, I will never give up North Stone City!" In the North Stone City, there are more than 400 ordinary people! Shall you give them all to the beasts? Don't talk about it again! This edict of the Great Prince, if anyone wants to obey it, can break through and leave from Beishi City! Otherwise, stay in North Rock and hold out until the day of final victory! ”
Ye Yu said sharply that she was resolutely opposed to abandoning the city and escaping.
Hearing Ye Yu say this, after all, Ye Yu is now the supreme commander, and the others stopped talking.
These people knew that if they really wanted to break out of the North Rock City, it would be impossible without Ye Yu's help.
Because only Ye Yu has the powerful strength of the Void Dan Eightfold.
With her, he was able to deal with the attack of that Void Pill Ninefold "Divine Jiao".
Otherwise, these people will go directly to deliver food.
"Enough, this matter will not be discussed later! We have to stay in North Rock, this matter is not discussed! Ye Yu said, and then, she looked at the Sect Master of Tiannong Sect: "Now, how much grain is still in the city?" How much more time can it last? ”
Today, there are more than 4 million residents in North Rock. The amount of food consumed every day is simply astronomical!
Hearing this, the Sect Master of Tiannong Sect shook his head in embarrassment and said, "The food supply in the city is very tight. Although we have adopted a food rationing system, there is not enough food to eat! Maybe in a day or two, there will be a massive famine in the city! There is a possibility that human flesh will be eaten in the setting! ”
The words of the sect master of the Tiannong Sect immediately made Ye Yu, the city lord of Beishi City, look pale.
"Now, the water supply in the city is also a problem." At this time, the Sect Master of the Water Sect said, "Although the people of our Water Sect have worked very hard to make clear water, this is the supply of water for a full four million people!" We were really struggling! It is absolutely impossible for us to have more than 1,000 people up and down the Water Sect and supply more than 4 million people with clean water! The reason why there was no problem before was because there were wells, water tanks, etc. in North Rock City, and there was clear water to use. But now, the wells are almost running out of water! Next, only the people of our Qingshui Sect will supply the water of these more than four million people! We definitely won't be able to supply it! You may not even be able to drink water! ”
The Sect Master of the Water Sect said so, and he talked about the difficulties faced by the supply of clear water at the moment.
When Ye Yu, the city lord of Beishi City, heard this, she couldn't help but press her temples in distress, and after a long time, she opened her eyes and said to the sect master of the Imperial Water Sect: "You work harder, try to make as much water as possible, at the very least, to make the drinking water needs of these more than four million residents to be supplied." You don't have to worry much about scores. Your contributions have always been recorded by the recorders. ”
The Sect Master of the Imperial Water Sect nodded when he heard this.
"Chase Trading House, do you still have a red-capped beetle carapace over there?" Ye Yu asked.
She knew in her heart that the red-capped beetle carapace was very short now. With the weapon forged from this thing, the warriors of the forging stage can also harm the fierce beasts of the qi refining stage; With the armor forged from this thing, even if a warrior in the Forging Stage is attacked by a fierce beast in the Qi Refining Period, he can often pick up a life and not be killed on the spot.
When the shopkeeper of Datong Trading Bank heard this, he shook his head with difficulty and said, "This trading house is really no longer there now. The reason why I was able to take out so many red-capped beetle shells before was because His Royal Highness the Little Prince came to our trading house before and made this deal with us. Now there really isn't. ”
The shopkeeper of Chase said.
When Ye Yu heard this, he couldn't help but press his temples in worry.
There are not even enough raw materials to make weapons and equipment!
"How's the healing fruit now? Is the supply still sufficient? ”
After a while, Ye Yu asked again.
Hearing this, the Western Warband sighed, shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the supply of healing fruits was quite sufficient. But after several days of fighting, there was not much left of the healing fruit. Many wounded fighters were left untreated and had to fall to the ground and die. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yu took a deep breath and sighed.
In her heart, it can be said that she is like a mess, and her mood is extremely bad, uncomfortable and painful.
"If only there were reinforcements...... It is also good to be able to provide some material resources at the least. The Sect Master of the Dragonless Sect sighed at this time.
"Cut," the Eastern War Regiments all listened to it, and suddenly became disdainful: "What you said is really not level!" Now that the North Stone City is besieged to such an extent, where can anyone come to support? If you want to enter this Northern Stone City, you will definitely be surrounded by those large number of Void Pill Stage beasts in a circle after circle! Even if the support is with the strength of the Void Pill high-level, it may not be able to kill it! ”
"But not necessarily...... What if there is any force that is better at concealing the aura? The Sect Master of the Dragonless Sect muttered.
Being questioned by the Eastern Warband made him feel a little lacking in confidence.
"That can't be!" The Eastern Warband all said disdainfully, "Now that the situation in North Rock City is still coming to support, is it possible that they are here to send them to death?" I'm going to put it here today, there's no way we're going to have reinforcements! If there is really a force to come to help us, and then bring some material support such as equipment, food resources, etc., I will eat the table in this city lord's hall on the spot!! ”
The Eastern Warband said proudly, looking very confident.
And right now.
Outside the door came the hurried voices of the guards.
"Report, report to the city lord, an immortal boat has come to support our North Rock City!"
