Chapter 81: Lack of Food
"Yike...... Hah......" Lucius roared, and raised a heavy burst of muskets and fired in front of him.
"Quack, ahh......h
After a burst of strafing, Lucius put the heavy musket on the ground and said with a smile, "Hahaha, it's so cool." ”
Beludi behind her suddenly looked helpless when she heard this.
looked around vigilantly, and then stepped forward to remind: "Okay, let's leave quickly, don't be surrounded by that group of monsters, you won't be able to leave if you want to." ”
Hearing this, Lucius pressed his palm on the muzzle of the gun, and the palm of his hand shone with a luster of magic.
The heavy giant musket suddenly shrank, and the "squeak" quickly folded into a small musket.
Bending down to pick up the musket, before he could straighten up, he suddenly felt the heat coming at him, and Lucius rolled forward to avoid the heat.
At the same time, he raised the musket in his hand and aimed two shots in the direction of the heat.
The thin demon mage wielding the deadwood staff had his head pierced through and fell to the ground and turned to ashes without any struggle.
Raising the musket, he gently blew on the muzzle of the dragon head at the tip of the reduced musket, and said quite proudly: "Hehe, the improved 'Angry Dragon' is really powerful. ”
Seeing Lucius's smug look, Beluti said disdainfully, "Hmph, flashy. ”
Hearing this, Lucius suddenly turned around, pointed the gun at Beluti, and pulled the trigger without warning.
The dragon head that "roared" the muzzle of the gun violently opened in anger, and a pair of dragon eyes opened angrily as if they were alive, and suddenly spewed dragon breath at Beludi.
Seeing the dragon's breath spewed out of the dragon's mouth, Beluti was terrified, and steam spewed out from the joints of her body, forming a magic shield to protect her body, and at the same time quickly retreated to avoid the dragon's breath.
However, to Belude's surprise, the dragon's breath turned around and flew behind her.
"Ah......h
In the flames, Lucius stepped forward and put his arms around Beluti's waist, and the two quickly fled the flames.
Beluti, who was driven away by Lucius, was full of shock, and it took a long time for her to come to her senses and ask, "How could it be......?"
With a smile on his face, Lucius said calmly, "Hehe, it's nothing, I just made some small movements and improved the device." ”
At this point, Belletti was completely convinced of Lucius, and she could feel that Lucius was indeed very mechanically talented.
In the days that followed, with the endless mechanical weapons of Lucius, the two of them hurried without hindrance.
And the battle of Brenos is also coming to an end, a large number of monsters bypassed Brenos and walked to the depths of the earth, but there are still a group of monsters that have not left, and they have surrounded Brenos to death, which has the meaning of besieging the entire city to death.
As the city's food reserves dwindled, both Du Liniang and Merlin felt a heavy pressure on their shoulders.
"It looks like we won't be able to hold out for long, I'm afraid that in a few months, we won't need monsters to break through the city gates, and we will starve to death. ”
Lake grumbled sarcastically as he drank the oatmeal in his bowl.
"Slap" Du Liniang slapped it on the wooden table unceremoniously, stood up and yelled at Lake: "I see that you have itchy skin, and you want me to throw you out of the city, right?"
"Okay, then you can throw me out, and it's better to die in battle than to starve to death in the city. ”
Seeing that Lake was actually thimble with herself, Du Liniang suddenly became angry, stood up and walked over to Lake.
But before Du Liniang could make a move, Merlin stood up and stopped it.
"Okay, can you stop a little? So many monsters have left in batches, but those monsters outside the city have always refused to retreat, obviously they have received death orders, they want to surround us to death, now is not the time for us to fight, or think about how to retreat from the enemy first. ”
Merlin's words silenced everyone, and Du Liniang sat down again.
There was a complete silence in the entire Brenos chamber, and everyone began to worry about the future.
After a long time, Caroline stood up and said, "If you want me to say, just rush out and fight those monsters." ”
"No, I can't. Surprisingly, this time Du Liniang and Merlin almost denied it in unison.
The two of them didn't expect it, they looked at each other and were shocked at the same time, and then Merlin continued: "We have talked many times, those monsters have several powerful leaders and commanders, and if we rush out, we will definitely not be able to repel the army of those monsters outside the city. ”
Hearing Merlin say this, Caroline turned her head to look at Du Liniang, obviously she trusted Du Liniang more.
Du Liniang nodded and said, "Yes, what Merlin said is right, I can feel that there are several Holy Rank Beings outside the city, and they have the power of the domain, which is different from the power you rely on the source core to improve." ”
Hearing this, Caroline sat down again, and said with some discouragement, "Well, what are we going to do? Are we really waiting to starve to death?"
As soon as Caroline's words fell, Du Liniang asked Merlin again: "Merlin, how much food is there in the city?"
This sentence made everyone present prick up their ears and focus all their eyes on Merlin.
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Merlin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "If everyone continues to drink only oatmeal, it will only last for two months at most." ”
"What? Can it last only two months? Didn't Brenos have any food stockpiles? And the rich people who you were still out of the city before, they didn't have food at home?"
In response to Du Liniang's questioning, Merlin spread his hands and said, "They didn't take a penny away, but that money can't be eaten." ”
Merlin's words made people despair, and everyone in the council chamber bowed their heads.
No one thought of the current predicament, I thought that I only needed to support for a while, and the monster army outside the city would make a detour to leave, but no one thought that although the main force of the monster army had left, there was still one team left, and there was still a team left to surround Brenos, as if it was arranged to surround Brenos to death.
Everyone had been holding on to Brenos for more than four months, and gradually the problem of food scarcity in the city became apparent.
Now, if there is no way to solve the current dilemma, I am afraid that the people in the city will only starve to death, or open the city gate to fight the monsters outside the city.
"Decisive battle" Du Liniang and Merlin have both thought about it, but the two of them have personally gone out of the city to try it.
In the army of monsters outside the city, there are several strong people of the Holy Rank hidden, and the other party has the power of the domain, if it is a real decisive battle, Du Liniang and Merlin know very well that Brenos City is by no means an opponent of the monsters outside the city, and just those few Holy Orders with the domain can sweep most of the strong people in the city.
Du Liniang and Merlin looked at each other, this predicament gave the two of them a headache, and it was completely beyond the scope of their ability.
Everyone in the council hall was drinking oatmeal, and no one spoke again, and the atmosphere in the entire council hall was extremely depressing.
"Bang" Suddenly, the door of the council hall was pushed open, but I saw No. 1 and No. 2 rushing straight into the chamber.
Without waiting for everyone to react, No. 1 said directly to Du Liniang and Merlin: "Two adults, we have found out that twenty kilometers northwest of the city, there is a granary, which is garrisoned by a group of demonized orcs. ”
"Oh......" Hearing No. 1's report, everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Du Liniang and Merlin glanced at each other, the corners of Du Liniang's mouth rose slightly and said with a smile: "Hehe, there is no endless road, isn't this coming for food?"
Brino, Kane and the others stood up and shouted in unison, "Boss, let's go, him." ”
"Wait......"
didn't wait for Du Liniang to say yes, but Merlin preemptively stopped: "Now that the situation has not been clarified, I think it is better not to act rashly for the time being, even if you want to go, you must plan carefully." ”
As soon as Merlin's words fell, Brianor suddenly shouted: "Merlin, you are really getting less and less courageous, do those monsters still know what tricks they can't do?" I think we can't wait, we must act immediately, kill them by surprise, as long as we have food, we can continue to hold on." ”
Looking at the eager eyes of everyone in the room, Merlin knew that he couldn't stop everyone now, but he still wanted to dissuade them.
But Du Liniang stepped forward first and said, "Merlin, the old lady will take someone to do this matter, you don't have to interfere." ”
Hearing this, Merlin could only put away what he wanted to say, and stared at Du Liniang for a long time before finally sighing: "Okay, then you guys be careful." ”
Hearing Merlin's words, Du Liniang smiled and said, "Hehe, don't worry, there is a number one of them." ”
Outside Brenos City, on the edge of the Misty Forest, a dark red minotaur looked at Brenos City from afar.
Several little demons surrounded him, and one of the elderly demon mages whispered, "Lord Darkblood, why don't we leave yet?" According to the master's orders, we should have abandoned Brenos a long time ago and made a detour to the south, we have been delayed for many days, aren't you afraid of the master and his ......?"
Before the aged demon mage could finish speaking, the dark red minotaur stepped forward and grabbed the other by the throat to lift him up.
A pair of vicious eyes stared at the demon mage, and his body was covered with a layer of blood.
The demon mage struggled for a long time, but he could not break free from the opponent's wrist.
When the demon mage almost felt that his throat was about to be cut, the dark red minotaur let go of his hand and said in a heavy voice: "Hmph, remember, this is my decision, and in the future, I will not press my master in front of me." ”
At this moment, two swarthy orcs rushed up and bowed to the minotaur.
The minotaur asked in a deep voice, "How are things going?"
"My lord, it has been arranged, I believe that they will soon find out the granary, there is not enough food in the city, I believe they will make a move soon. ”
Hearing this, the minotaur nodded with satisfaction, reached out and stroked the broken horn on the top of his head, and muttered to himself: "Kane, my brother, we are finally going to meet again, I believe that this meeting will definitely make you unforgettable for life." ”
