Chapter 416 Fusion Upheaval

In April 2223 of the Xia calendar, more than three months have passed since the freezing wind started.

The duration and scope of this extreme cold current are the longest in the history of the Char Federation since its establishment.

Among the four territories of the Federation, the southern territory is the least affected, the largest is the western territory and the northern part of the eastern territory. The northern territory has only one city in the federal territory, and it is already under the control of the old glory. It is unknown what the situation is.

Among the five major races in the Federation, the Orcs and Demons were the most affected, followed by the Humans, and the Goblins and Gods, which are mainly distributed in the southern border, were the least affected.

Under the extreme cold current, life has been greatly affected. The biggest impact is the shortage of food.

What's worse is that the largest grain-producing area in the Federation is in the Fertile Plain, which is located at the junction of the three borders of the East, West, and South. As a result, there will be no harvest in the next six months.

Nowadays, the food on the market is almost sold at the price of gold, but sometimes you may not be able to buy food if you have money.

The lack of food caused turmoil in the cities of the Federation. Prices continued to rise, and a large number of ordinary people lost their jobs. At first, the Federation Parliament still had enough power to mobilize food for disaster relief. Exports, the Federation has gradually fallen into a situation where there is no food to adjust.

The various cities asked the Federal Parliament for food supplies, but the Parliament was also stretched. Even if some food was squeezed out, it would only be given to the most important cities under the control of the Parliament. As for the other cities, the city owners were ordered to solve it themselves.

But the problem of food is so easy to solve there. After repeatedly asking the Federation Council for food to no avail, the lords of certain cities became dissatisfied with the Federation Council, but dissatisfaction is useless. If the food problem is not solved, they The city lords may face riots from the city residents who are about to starve and faint. For this reason, these city lords took the initiative to seek food from their own royal families in the southern border, and the royal families of the five major races also took this opportunity to threaten and lure these troubled cities with the condition of supplying food. City Lord, let them join the royal camp.

There is no need to choose whether to join the food or not to starve to death. The royal families of the five major races in the southern border have mastered a group of new forces, and they have more capital to fight against the federal parliament in terms of strength.

In addition to the five royal families making small moves, other forces are also preparing openly and secretly. This time, the extreme cold current has given the major forces an opportunity to stick out their tentacles and prepare to break through the ground and start a world war.

Most people don't care about what happens between the forces, they only care about how they want to live.

No food is a fatal thing for anyone, and ordinary people are even worse than awakened ones.

Although it is still under the extreme cold current, flocks of ice birds and fish in the sky wander around, and it is very dangerous outside the city, but the awakened ones go out of the city to give it a try, as long as they can kill the mutant beasts, they can feed on them and survive.

Although ordinary people can also hunt mutant beasts, they need to gather more people and equip a large number of weapons and armor, and pay a greater sacrifice than the awakened people to kill fewer mutant beasts than the awakened people. A group of people will gain After distribution, they can only get a small amount of rations, and sometimes it may not be enough for one person to eat a meal.

It is an indisputable fact that awakened people and families with awakened family members are more nourished than ordinary people in this environment, although they are not relaxed.

In the same situation where you don’t have enough to eat and don’t wear warm clothes, you have one more piece of chocolate every day than me. The difference is undoubtedly huge.

The bad roots of shame and the antagonism between awakened people and ordinary people began to spread rapidly under this special environment.

When there were three or four incidents in which ordinary people who were tortured by hunger and who were about to go crazy attacked families with awakened family members who went hunting and did not return, and robbed them of food, this kind of operation that was impossible in normal times, was starved. People learn and spread quickly.

If someone robs by force, there will be resistance. Naturally, there will be casualties in the middle, and chaos in the city is inevitable.

When the matter developed to the end, in some small cities, very strange but reasonable phenomena appeared.

A city is invisibly divided into two halves, usually all ordinary people, usually awakened people and their families; the area where one side is located is very chaotic, robbery and murder, cannibalism and other human crimes are constantly happening, and the reason for this is Just for a bite of food.

On the other side, the area controlled by the Awakened is relatively orderly. The famous Awakened or adventure team in the city, the backbone of all the Awakened, jointly guards this orderly area under their leadership.

As for the original city lord of the city, those who have the strength will continue to lead the power of the awakened ones, and those who are not capable will either risk escape here and go to the city under the complete control of the Federal Parliament, or directly become an existence like ordinary people, with support By the end of the extreme cold, the dream of returning to the position of the city lord starved to death on a cold night.

This kind of situation generally occurs in the cities of the human race and the demon race in the western and eastern borders, and because of the particularity of the gang culture of the orc race, there is no phenomenon of confrontation between the awakened and ordinary people during this period. The relationship remains the same, that is, the annexation between gangs will be more frequent than before, which will greatly reduce the number of gangs in the city. There may only be three gangs that check and balance each other in a city.

The extreme cold current lasted until the middle of May. When the sun in the sky gave people warmth instead of cold, and when the wind in the air was no longer biting but cool, all the people who survived cheered, but after the cheers They are still confused about the future, because their situation will not go away because of this abnormal extreme cold current, and they will return to the past in a short period of time, and it may continue to be worse and they will not be able to return to the past.

On the first day of June, a piece of news spread throughout the federation, which caused an uproar. The lord of a small city on the western border announced that he would break away from the jurisdiction of the parliament and would adopt self-government. So much so that in the city under his management, nearly half of the residents of the city died in this cold snap, and many families were torn apart. In the end, it was his leadership and the city residents who worked together to tide over the difficulties. Since the Federal Council is so incompetent, how could it be Why let it lead? Therefore, through the public vote of the existing citizens of the city, the city he leads will implement self-government. If the Federal Assembly does not agree, then it will come to war, and he will lead all the citizens to resist.

For a while, this small border city became famous, and everyone remembered the name of the city in their minds, which was the border city of Greenland City belonging to the orc tribe.

Some people may be surprised, isn't it said that there will be no city lords in the cities of the orcs?

Yes, but that's normal, but if there's only one gang in a city, it's different.

Soon the federal parliament made a decision, saying that Greenland City violated the federal declaration, and sent an army of nearly 3,000 people to attack Greenland City.

On the day when the federal parliament sent out the crusade army, the orc royal family also issued a statement. This statement was also a crusade against Greenland City. The reason was that the owner of Greenland City was a traitor, and they also sent more than 2,000 troops.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on this small city on the Greenland Plain. They all knew that this would be the place where the federation and the royal family would compete, and the result would affect the future direction of the Xia continent.

In Greenland City, there are two people squatting in the corner and whispering in the hall of a certain hut.

"Uncle, let's make the trouble a little bigger this time."

"It's none of my business. That guy asked for it himself. He dares to hit us. If you don't give him some ruthlessness, how can we make him remember."

"I feel like he's getting his lunch."

"It deserves it."
