Chapter 3323 Having Fun
As long as the old Duke and his group are not told that the national war may be delayed, Dasay City will always be in a state of preparation for war.
Dasai City, which is in a state of war preparation, will suffer mandatory delays both in terms of economy and people's livelihood.
If this delay will lead to the decline of people's livelihood in Dashai City, I will naturally not let it go and will even take the initiative to contact the old Duke and tell him the truth.
However, due to the policies of the Beastman King, Dashai City has long hidden wealth among the people.
Although not all people are rich and wealthy, it is not a problem to support them for three to five years without worrying about food and clothing during the preparation for war.
Based on this, I have just boldly left the people's livelihood issues behind.
At the same time, I just had the confidence to persuade Cagalli not to inform the old Duke and his group.
Although Cagalli is accustomed to thinking about the people, she also cares about her family's status.
If she could keep her royal status and regain her position as the Beastman King without affecting people's livelihood, she would naturally be happy.
Therefore, after I clearly explained the pros and cons of the matter and analyzed the people's livelihood situation, Cagalli acquiesced to my suggestion.
The next week was another uneventful week.
It was April and the scenery was lush and green.
On the continent where Dashai City is located, the trees have begun to sprout, the young grass has quietly emerged, and the land is full of vitality.
In at most a month, herdsmen will drive their cattle and sheep to graze on this vast pasture.
We took a magic airship and quietly arrived at the border of Darcy City. The Blue Witch and I stood on a boulder outside the city gate and looked into the distance.
When I'm in high spirits, I can't help but sigh like this.
"What a huge grassland," the blue witch exclaimed.
In her life, she has never seen folk activities such as herding cattle and sheep. She has only seen bison goats eating leaves. These bison goats look naive, but in fact they are very wary. Once they get close, they will raise their sharp horns. , for those who have always been there, if they take another step at this time, they will be attacked.
The Blue Witch has been attacked by them more than ten or eight times. For this reason, she has to carry monsters transformed from flowers and plants with her at all times for self-defense.
But as a result, the Blue Witch had to feed them some grain, fruits, or meat. Over time, the grain stored in her reserve granary was always very little.
Fortunately, even if winter comes in the Red Witch's Forest, there are still wild fruits produced, which saves her from hunger.
Now, when I hear that there will be people driving a large herd of cattle and sheep on the grassland, I can't help but be filled with longing: "Those cattle and sheep really won't hurt people?"
"As long as you don't threaten their lives, they won't hurt anyone."
"What does it mean to threaten their life safety?" The blue witch tilted her head and asked curiously.
"Like, carrying weapons and attacking them."
"Carry weapons and launch an attack." The Blue Witch pondered for a few seconds, shook her head, and said, "I won't do that. I love these wild animals very much."
"But you also seem to like roast beef, roast lamb chops, and white fish."
“My passion is live wild animals,” explains the Blue Witch.
I was amused by her words: "You are such a clever little kid."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the pastures in the town."
With that said, I took the Blue Witch to a herdsman's house with whom I had a good relationship.
This herdsman family is a post-transformation family. Before the transformation, he, like many other locals, was a descendant of the legendary hero who struggled to survive in Airui City.
After being settled here, I gave them a large sum of money to buy houses and livestock.
And they are secretly providing us with information about Dashai City.
However, in their view, just providing information is far from enough to repay my kindness to them. Therefore, these people usually look like ordinary herdsmen, but once there is a wartime need, they transform into elite adventurers. army.
This group of people was responsible for this robbery of merchants.
After the operation, they packed the looted goods and sent them to the airship base and handed them over to the local person in charge.
The person in charge was very diligent in moving the goods intact into the warehouse and then delivered them to me.
Now, I have secretly brought that batch of goods home, keeping all that can be used, and turning over everything that is not needed at home to your two majesties.
Their Majesties returned these goods to the national treasury.
A series of actions were done so seamlessly that even if you want to find evidence, it is impossible. As for witnesses, haha, with all due respect, who dares to be a witness?
"Lord An Xiaoyi!"
A human youth dressed as a herdsman knelt down on one knee and said to me.
"Get up, get up quickly." I stretched out my hand to help him up. I looked him up and down, and then asked, "How are you doing recently?"
"Okay, you're doing well," he said happily: "Recently, several thousand more cattle and sheep have been added to the pasture. My life is getting better and better. All of this is thanks to your gift."
"What kind of gift is not a gift?" I smiled and waved my hands and said: "You are all descendants of the heroes who saved the human race. You should be respected and enjoy a life of abundant food and clothing. It's just that you met someone unkind and was delayed for many years. I am so I am doing this just to make up for everything you have lost and to help you find the respect and life that should belong to you."
"You are serious. Without you, we don't know how many years we would have continued to live in that barren slum."
"Oh, don't talk like that," I said, "This is my fiancée. She is very curious about domestic animals and wants to take a look. You can take a look, if it's convenient."
"No problem!" said the herdsman: "There's nothing inconvenient. You just need to be careful. Some cattle and sheep are still pregnant and may be aggressive."
"It doesn't matter," I said, "despite her frail body, she is actually a pretty capable adventurer."
"I understand," the herdsman said, "Please follow me."
Then, he led the way and led us to a shed.
This shed is very large, as big as more than a dozen football fields. After entering the door, there are single stalls arranged neatly. In each stall, there is an animal, some are chewing hay slowly, and some are slowly chewing hay. Some were drinking water, while others were lying on the ground to rest.
When the blue witch saw this, she looked excited and started running along the aisle. As she ran, she did not forget to stop and reach out to touch the cattle and sheep in the pen, and then continued to have fun.
"Your fiancée is really lively."
The herdsman said with shame.
"That's what she is." I smiled and said, "Let her be."
Later, the herdsman and I walked out of the shed and went to his backyard. We sat on the stone platform, chatted, and looked at the poultry raised in the yard.
