The King

Chapter 129: aftermath

  Suddenly, Bear Stearns rolled his eyes, kicked his feet and rushed out.

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

  If the car rolls over at this speed, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

   Being maimed by his own mount, those who didn't know it thought that he used despicable means to force Warcraft to sign a contract, which caused backlash.

   Don't bother to settle accounts with Bear Stearns. The violent friction with the air forced Hudson to deal with it carefully.

   Fortunately, he is still a magician, so he added a magic shield to himself in time.

   The charging speed is too fast, far exceeding the falling speed of locusts. Had Hudson reacted a little slower, close contact with locusts would have been inevitable.

  Different from the rough skin and thick flesh of our own bears, they have no feeling for these little ones. His little face was in close contact with locusts, and the consequences were unimaginable.

  The distance of a few miles, the destination is reached in an instant, this bear speed is simply flying.

   In fact, there is nothing wrong with talking about flying. Except for the four-legged kick in the initial stage, Bear Stearns' short legs basically never touched the ground.

   In the middle of the journey, several big bare trees were even broken. The outstretched branches of the big trees almost pierced Hudson's magic shield.

   Speaking of the pit master, this guy is definitely a professional.

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

  Perhaps this is also the reason why people who own monster mounts in the Aslante continent are all strong. A guy with poor strength can't bear the talent attribute of his own monster instinct to pit his teammates.

   Before Hudson could get used to the speedy "bear", Bear Stearns suddenly turned around and went straight to the left. The thrilling sharp turn made him almost throw up on the spot.

  Before crossing, I didn’t get carsick. I didn’t expect that after crossing, I would faint “bear” because of the speed of the mount, which made Hudson furious.

   If it is not in front of the line of sight, a huge locust can be vaguely seen, fleeing in a hurry, he has to...

never mind!

  The occasion is not right now, people are on the back of a bear, and they are not tough in speaking.

   As expected, after experiencing a high-speed "bear" and a sharp turn, what greeted him was another sudden brake.

  The huge inertial force made Hudson firmly grasp the bear's hair, and put his body on the bear's back.

  Before he understood what was going on, Bear Stearns lifted the stunned Bug King into the bear's paw, showing off his achievements.

  From the beginning to the end, with just that one slap, the mighty bug king rushed straight to the street.

  At this moment, Hudson suddenly understood why there had never been a locust plague in the Warcraft Mountains.

  A minor Earth Bear, it's as simple as picking up a Bug King. The number of high-level monsters in the entire Warcraft Mountain Range is unknown, and there are not enough insect kings and insect kings to kill them.

   If the army of locusts swept across the gathering place of monsters, it would be giving them extra food.

  The locust army is poisonous, and it is only for ordinary people. With the physical fitness of a monster, I'm afraid I don't even feel the toxin.

   "Bear Stearns, what the **** are you doing?

  Why didn't you remind me?

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

   Before Hudson finished speaking, the cub imitated his usual tone and replied: "Calm down!

   Such a trivial matter is so frizzy, how can it become a big weapon?

  I can't bear a little bit of suffering, but I have the nerve to complain here, it's just embarrassing me.

  You have a thick skin when it comes to danger. From the beginning to the end, you are watching the play from the sidelines.

  Others are fighting together with Warcraft. You follow Benxiong to claim credit, and you have to cover you along the way.

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

   Forget it, I am unlucky to meet you as a combat partner.

if only…"

  Being hated by a bear first, Hudson, who was speechless, immediately began to doubt life.

   Isn't this idiot sleeping all the time, why did he secretly learn all these routines.

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

   Otherwise, if a bear who can play politics is cultivated, God knows what will happen in the future.

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

  The bears of the earth have always been known for their honesty and honesty. How could you, a rogue bear, appear? "

   Hudson said angrily.

   It is a bit far-fetched to say that the cub did it on purpose just now. If you really want to cheat him, just a magic shield is not enough.

   Just looking at the arrogant look of this guy, Hudson is full of anger. Looking at the joke of his master, it is simply...

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

  The main reason is that there is no way to care about it. After throwing the worm king to Hudson, Bear Stearns once again aimed at a new target.

   As a bear knight, Hudson's heart is broken. The speed of the Earth Bear at full strength is too fast, just like driving a supersonic motorcycle, it feels like going to heaven.

   Fortunately, the cub has gained experience this time, and before taking action, he knew to bless him with the magic of the guardian of the earth.

   Finally stabilized. Don't worry about being thrown out at any time, and Hudson, who doesn't have to worry about "Bear" vomiting too fast, finally has the mind to play "Bear Bear".

   Among hundreds of millions of locusts, if you enter a land without insects, the feeling is a stimulus. The hurricane speed made Hudson, who has become more adaptable, sublimated.

   One person and one bear having fun, kept shuttling through the swarm of insects, making a bad start for everyone. Soon everyone followed suit and even ignored the defense zone.

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

   Gradually, he realized that something was wrong. Although the army of locusts, which was attacked by a group of strong men, was in disintegration, the ultimate goal was still the southeast province.

  Before this, the locust army gathered together, they just need to block the way of the army.

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

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

   Once this thought came, Earl Pierce couldn't get it out of his mind. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough in this wave, and in the shortest possible time, he invited all the strong men who could be pulled out from the province.

   If you learn from the neighbors next door and organize experts to hunt and kill locusts after the locusts flood, you will be done.

   It’s just that I don’t know which force my family has offended, and I want to make trouble for the Dalton family at all costs.

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

   Spontaneously taking the blame, it's not that Earl Pierce is out of his mind. It is precisely because of too much brain that he came to this conclusion.

  Although there are many nobles and nobles in the southeastern province, the Dalton family is the only one who is qualified to offend one big power and make the other party helpless.

  It is useless to know, the scale of the locust army is too large. To be able to get rid of the Insect King, it will take a lot of effort. It is almost impossible to kill all the locusts.

  …

  In the mountainous areas, preparations to fight against the locust plague are being carried out in an orderly manner. The grain that could be harvested was harvested in advance. The rest is really useless, so we can only bear the plague of locusts.

   Tens of thousands of people prepared for the battle together without any panic. The importance of talent has to be acknowledged.

  If it had been put beforehand, if Master Hudson hadn't been there, the territory would have been messed up.

  The method is nothing new, it is all manual capture + smoky. The high-end method of exterminating locusts within the magic potion is not yet mastered by the mountain leaders.

  The surrounding territories are generally similar. All the lords are preparing for battle, though most know that these primitive means are not very effective.

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

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

  The two counties of Wright and Wyton, which have suffered a lot from the war, are doing pretty well this time. The top and bottom have been cleaned up, and the big and small cult organizations are basically finished in the last turmoil.

  The aristocratic lords who ruled the two counties, except for the uneven ability to inherit the family business, most of the lords did not lack means.

  Luoye Town, went to the Governor's Mansion to sign up to fight against the locust plague, but was persuaded to leave by his uncle on the grounds that his strength was too poor, which made Baron Cayo very embarrassed.

  Fortunately, not many people know about this matter, and Baron Cayo was able to block the news in time, otherwise he will be humiliated if it spreads out.

  "The strength is not enough", this evaluation is too hurtful. Originally thought that his strength was not bad among the younger generation, but the reality was very embarrassing.

   It can only be said that talent cannot be forced. Even if a large amount of resources are spent, Baron Cayo can only catch up with the average level.

   Suppressed with anger, naturally need to find a place to vent. Baron Cayo naturally stared at his neighbor.

   "Young master, this locust plague is coming in a terrible way. According to the news from the Governor's Mansion, it is inevitable that it will spread to the province.

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

  If the medicine is used, it will undoubtedly make the disaster worse. If they only put medicines in a few of their territories, it is very likely that people will see the problem.

  Any trace of this kind of thing reveals, and we are likely to be suspected. On the contrary, revealing the slightest flaw will be a fatal blow to your reputation.

   Otherwise, putting things into adjacent areas can also achieve the effect, and people will not suspect us. "

  The old housekeeper tried his best to persuade.

   Deep down, he was against it. Although these potions were prepared by Baron Cayo himself, not many people know about them. But there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

  Once the news leaks out, maybe the nobles in the whole province will remember the locust plague on his head. If the matter develops to that point, even the Dalton family can't stop it.

   "Don't worry, Uncle Fu. I'm not that stupid. This kind of thing naturally requires a blame man.

  The work of looting in the territory has ended, and even if I lose all the rest, I can afford it.

  Simply come to a wave of bitter tricks, temporarily wronged the local nobles, and give this pot to the northern nobles.

  With the power of these potions, no matter where they are thrown, they will be affected within a hundred miles, and no one can escape.

  If it wasn't for an unexpected harvest, I wouldn't be able to prepare it. This time is the best opportunity, once you miss it, it will be difficult to control the two counties. "

   Baron Cayo said indifferently.

  It is nothing to be cruel to others, the key is to be able to be cruel to yourself. Even his own territory was not spared. If it was said that he poisoned it, no one would believe it if it spread.

  …

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

  The grain store controlled by the Lord's Mansion has begun to limit the supply per person per day, and the price has soared to the sky.

  The high cost of living has made countless merchants passively choose to move. Baron Sith was also very helpless. What he bought was high-priced food, and there was no room for price reduction at all.

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

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

  The best-selling commodities now are grain and cloth, followed by salt, and iron products and agricultural tools can also be sold. There are more sellers than buyers for other non-rigid commodities.

   Not making money is a trivial matter, the key is that you have to lose money to open the door. Businessmen are best at looking at the pros and cons. After assessing the risk-resistance capabilities of the local nobles and lords, they quickly came to a bad conclusion.

   Don’t leave while the order is still there. When the locust plague sweeps over, the food shortage breaks out, and “bandits and bandits” are everywhere, you won’t be able to run away even if you want to.

  Everyone is worried that if they really can't live on, Master Sith, who seems to be kind now, will be the first to raise his butcher's knife against them.

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

   After crushing a flying grasshopper to death, Baron Sith asked rather unwillingly: "Ferren, do you think this plague of locusts is really unavoidable?"

  The result of painstaking efforts, no one is willing to give up, but in the face of natural disasters, manpower is too slim.

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

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

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

  The mountainous territory you are most concerned about has already caught grasshoppers in the territory and dried them for storage. It is said that it is for feeding livestock, but I think it is mostly for orcs.

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

  Almost all the lords issued orders prohibiting male and female serfs from marrying and having intercourse. These are all preparations for the food shortage that may come next.

  The reaction of the local nobles is so fierce, let alone us outsiders. Several nearby provinces have also suffered locust plagues, and even if they want to buy food from the outside world, they can't do it.

   Things have come to this point, and we have to prepare for the worst. If the merchants want to leave, let them go, just to reduce some food consumption.

  Leave a little incense, and invite them back when the disaster is over. With this wave of experience, their confidence in the territory can also be strengthened in the future. "

   Butler Faerun tried to persuade him.

  In the year of catastrophe, increase income and reduce expenditure.

   But the premise is that there must be enough food reserves. Sorry about Dardir's reserves, that's seriously lacking.

   Even if all these tasks are done. It is still difficult to support the next spring.

  In order to increase food reserves, countless nobles organized their men to hunt in the mountains and forests. All kinds of wild animals, this wave also suffered a catastrophe.

  Including wild vegetables into grain reserves can only be regarded as a routine operation. Some kind of calculating lord, even the bark and grass roots are counted.

   "Let's gradually reduce the number of slaves, and try to make them as normal as possible, so as not to spread the word and affect their reputation.

   Everything that can be sold inside is sold. Including those dancers, they were all disposed of while they were still worth a little money.

  From now on, the ration supply of all the citizens who do not work will be reduced by 20% again. Keep only the most basic survival supplies.

  Mobilize all the personal connections we secretly manage, purchase as much food as possible, and count as much as you can purchase.

  Send people to keep an eye on the movements of the big grain merchants, and make a no-cost deal if you have the opportunity. At this point, there is no need to install it anymore. "

   Baron Sith said expressionlessly.

  It seems that he doesn't care about the terrible consequences that may be caused by this order.

   "Yes, master!"

  The old butler responded, without any intention of admonishing him. Indifference, determination, ruthlessness... are also good qualities of nobility.

  If you want to get better in this highly competitive world, you must abandon all the heart of the Virgin, and face this cruel world with the most rational attitude.

  …

  In Arbor County, the nobles who successfully blocked the locust army were not elated. Instead, worry about the continuous army of locusts.

  Manpower has a limit after all, and the strong will also be exhausted. The few top powerhouses who had just started fighting hard, have now been replaced.

  Just returned to the camp, Hudson became the brightest cub again. For no other reason, the insect king was hung all over his body.

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

   It can only be said that the temptation of animal milk and honey is too great. If Hudson hadn't pulled him, Bear Stearns still doesn't want to come back.

   Bears can stand it, but people can't stand it. After tossing for so long, Hudson's whole body was about to fall apart, and he had to force Bear Stearns to call it a day.

  Of course, the most important thing is that the insect king is not easy to catch at this time. Even if someone slipped through the net, they all hid far away.

  Intelligent creatures will not know that there is danger ahead, but foolishly go to die.

  The army of locusts that originally converged into one group is now dispersed into several groups, which is the best proof.

  Although gathering together is beneficial for their promotion, but in front of life, life is more important.

   "The target of the locusts is very clear, that is, our southeastern province, even if forced to detour, there is no destination. It is now certain that someone has released locust traps in the southeastern province.

  Fortunately, you shot and dispersed the locust army. Cut off the possibility of the birth of the Zonghuang, otherwise this disaster will really get out of control.

  Who the thief is is temporarily uncertain. We can only keep this account in mind first, and settle it with them when we find out in the future.

   Next, I can only ask you to make persistent efforts to get rid of all the remaining insect kings. The kingdom will never forget everyone's achievements. "

   It can be seen that Earl Pierce is really tired. Even the daily polite words were omitted.

  Hudson feels that this is also related to the fact that everyone present is not easy to fool.

  It is easy to draw a big pie, but it is difficult to realize the big pie. However, these strong people are easy to admit death, and if they dare to speak out, they will dare to beat the governor's sap.

  Rather than asking for trouble by playing tricks, it is better to be sincere, and it is easier to gain everyone's favor.
