Chapter 688: Planning for Food
Chapter 697 Planning for Food
After a few days of peace, the whole Middle Earth entered summer. Unlike the busy farming scene in the area directly under the Kingdom of Lagran, the whole Lion Territory seemed a bit lifeless. After all, the battlefield of the forbidden spell war was a devastating blow to a territory. The elemental turbulence was still raging on the battlefield ruins. From time to time, wind elements and fire elements broke through the air and disappeared in the void. This was the sequelae of the forbidden spell, just like nuclear weapons, which would continue to affect the local area for decades...
However, Apophis Breo was lucky. The kingdom did not sit idly by. Instead, Roland actively sent two top spellcasters, Yun Feng and Adolf Heinrich, to help them clean up the remaining elemental turbulence on the battlefield. This job was also a piece of cake for Yun Feng. After all, he cleaned up the elemental turbulence outside the city of Jiliu last time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesties!" Apophis Breo sincerely touched his chest and saluted. Although the two were acting on orders, they still needed to be polite. Otherwise, if they did not work hard, Apophis Breo would be the one who suffered in the end.
"It's okay. These are our responsibilities. But I was injured at the time and I didn't have the ability to clean these things!" Adolf Heinrich smiled at Apophis Breo in a friendly way. The backlash of his forced use of the Divine Word has not healed yet, but it has not affected his use of magic. Besides, the Lion Territory can't afford to delay. Now it can catch up with the tail of farming. If these elemental turbulences are not cleaned up, the entire Lion Territory will probably have no harvest this year!
"Considering the impact of the war and the trampling of the orcs... I guess you can still recover half of the food!" Yun Feng said to Apophis Breo with a somewhat gloomy face. In this era, food is the confidence and the embodiment of the vitality of the kingdom. Obviously, the Junlin family is now in the same predicament as the Lagrande Kingdom.
"..." Apophis Breo pursed his lips as he looked at the fallen wheat seedlings and the green wheat stalks torn by the elemental turbulence. Although he didn't say anything, his heart was already bleeding!
"The elves of the valley are willing to provide us with some help, so I won't bother you, Your Highness!" Apophis Breo said to Yun Feng very consciously. After all, he also understood Yun Feng's implicit reminder just now. Obviously, he was asking if he needed the support of the kingdom. The Lion Territory, which had experienced turmoil, was indeed in urgent need of the kingdom's nourishment, but Apophis Breo thought about Roland's family background...
Forget it! Let's each take care of the snow in front of our own door. Roland is now in a state where he is almost begging for food. He wants to help himself but he is powerless. So Apophis Breo simply doesn't plan to cause trouble for Roland.
"If you need to contact the kingdom in time, the kingdom will not ignore its own people! The blood of the Lagrang people is always connected!" Yun Feng seemed to be reminding and promising.
Apophis Breo nodded silently without saying anything. Everything was already bad enough for him. He had no energy to think about other things. The territory needed to be rebuilt, the fortress needed to be repaired... Oh my God! Apophis Breo was so confused now!
...
"Is the situation in Apophis Breo terrible?" Roland shook his head and said to Yun Feng.
"In fact, it's better than we expected. Those farmlands have not been completely destroyed. It is estimated that half of them can be salvaged!" Adolf Heinrich shook the teacup in his hand and said to Roland after thinking for a while.
"...How much supplies does he need? Let's squeeze them together for him." Roland was silent for a moment and then raised his head.
"I mentioned this to him implicitly. Duke Apophis Breo declined our assistance, and the elves of the valley will also provide him with some supplies." Yun Feng shrugged.
"Rivendell is getting a bargain! The existence of the Lion Territory is equivalent to the barrier of Rivendell. It is right for them to support Apophis Breo!" Roland snorted coldly. To a certain extent, the Lion Territory has taken on the responsibility of defending Rivendell from the orcs of Mount Gundabad. It is really unreasonable for the elves not to express anything!
"King Elron is still very good at being a man!" Yun Feng laughed. After all, the elves who have lived for thousands of years are also smart. He knows how to balance the forces around him. This time, he directly proposed to support the Lion Territory. He took out the resources that should have been given to the Lion Territory in advance. Not only did he sell a good thing to the Kingdom of Lagran, but he also maintained the friendly attitude of the barrier forces towards him. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
"Originally, if the Valley Elves didn't express anything, I was going to take the Dragon Riders to blackmail them!" Roland quickly revealed his fox tail. This is why he said that Rivendell was getting a bargain. He actually hoped that King Elron would not remember this matter, so that he would have a reason to ask for punishment and blackmail. It would not be a problem to rely on the wealth of the elves to help the entire kingdom survive the autumn harvest next year.
But now it seems that his plan has failed... I can only ask the people to stock up on supplies.
"..." Yun Feng, unlike Adolf Heinrich, had a confused expression on his face. Instead, he had an expression of "as expected", as if he had seen through what Roland wanted to do.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Why should I make the people suffer when I can just eat the rich?" Roland said indifferently. If the elves knocked on his people a few more times, he would swing his fishing nets less and go less deep into the wasteland. Instead of making the people suffer, it would be better to make the elves suffer!
"Good fellow..." Yun Feng covered his face and said he was speechless. You don't even need to act like a scoundrel when you go out like this. You are just acting like yourself! The elves of Rivendell and you are ready to fight against Sauron together. You are playing tricks on them...
"How about we go to Rivendell? We fought hard to stop the orcs from the Gunbada Fortress. This amount of supplies is not enough!" Roland rubbed his chin and was ready to kill the elves. Although the elves gave their attitude, it did not mean that they accepted it! Well! It is faster to solve problems with a mother formula!
"Don't... The kingdom still has face!" Yun Feng hurriedly pulled Roland. If Roland really went to Rivendell, the face of the entire Kingdom of Raglan would be lost in the whole Middle-earth. Now the Kingdom of Raglan is famous in the Middle-earth because of its reputation of fighting against the orc army. Roland's trip would become a joke for the king to beg for money.
"Tsk, what a hassle!" Roland sat down with an unhappy face, thinking about where to get some food reserves to survive this winter. You know, thousands of goblins also need some supplies from the kingdom.
"I think if you have that time, you might as well let the dragon riders go south to Gondor to buy some food, and bring some space equipment to directly load it back, which is convenient, fast and efficient! The most important thing is that the kingdom is not short of high-end combat power now, so the departure of some dragon riders will not affect the deterrence of high-end combat power to orcs and ringwraiths!" Adolf Heinrich suddenly said weakly.
"..." Roland and Yun Feng looked at each other and blushed, embarrassed! I almost forgot that things are different now. The current Lagrande has stood up, and it is no longer a kingdom that relies on a dragon rider and one or two sixth-level swell-up faces to make a fat face! Just throwing Adolf Heinrich out was enough to scare the orcs. Others may not know, but the orcs knew what happened outside the Old Pass. At least the orcs from Gambada and Dol Guldur did not have the courage to stand in front of Adolf Heinrich.
Support Fat Cat! The liar should pay the price!
