The natural disaster came too suddenly. Even though the Da Yi Dynasty had issued a warning in advance, the warning time was too short for them to make adequate preparations. Moreover, they did not have enough food supplies to begin with. If it weren't for the large number of ferocious beasts and birds that died in the previous natural disaster, they might not have been able to hold on for a month. They would have run out of food already.
In Chuyun Town.
In the Town Governor's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a trace of majesty was sitting upright in the hall. His face showed a trace of tiredness. It was a kind of tiredness that came from the bottom of his heart. It was all due to the strong pressure from the outside world.
"Constable Qin, Shi Wenqing, what's the current situation in the town? How long can we hold on?"
Chen Zhixian asked.
"We can't hold on much longer. The food in the city, together with the ferocious beast corpses collected before, can only hold on for less than three days at most. Three days later, people will definitely starve to death. Moreover, we don't have enough winter supplies. Many people have already frozen to death. We're really at the end of our rope. "
Shi Wenqing, who was dressed as a civil official, shook his head bitterly and said.
The situation had indeed reached the most difficult point.
"Didn't the Da Yi Dynasty say that they would help? Why hasn't it come yet? What free aid? Are they lying to us? Natural disasters are everywhere now. How could the Da Yi Dynasty have so many food reserves to support the consumption of a large number of people and the strength to go out and rescue them? "
Constable Qin seemed to be in disbelief.
The envoy who had gone to the Da Yi Dynasty for help and asked for some food had returned. What he brought was not food, but an even more shocking news. The Da Yi Dynasty would help the human forces in the area around Da Yi Dynasty. They would provide food supplies for free.
When the news came, there was an uproar in Chuyun Town.
Chen Zhixian vaguely guessed that this was a soft knife extended by the Da Yi Dynasty. If he really ate the fishing hook wrapped in honey, he might end up paying a higher price. At that time, he might have no choice but to do so.
He could refuse, but he couldn't just watch the people in the town starve to death or freeze to death.
However, he still hadn't appeared yet, which made him feel even more apprehensive and uneasy.
Was what they had said true? Would he come? Or did he encounter an accident on the way and not know the way to Chuyun Town?
All kinds of guesses flashed through his mind in an instant.
At this moment, not far from Izumo Town.
A large army was walking in the snow. There weren't many of them, only ten thousand soldiers.
This army was neatly equipped with battle armor and weapons. With a single glance, one could tell that this was definitely a powerful elite force on the battlefield.
In front of the army, three or four snow shovels could be seen constantly shoveling away the snow in front of them, clearing a wide path. They could move unimpeded.
Since they were leaving the Da Yi Territory, they could naturally use the teleportation formation to reach the border in the shortest time possible within the Da Yi Dynasty. However, they could only rely on their own feet after leaving, so they could not move very quickly.
Fortunately, the wilderness was much safer than before. There were no ferocious beasts that could appear and disappear unpredictably, so it was naturally much safer. However, the road was blocked by snow, so it was not that fast to move forward.
Fortunately, there was a snowplow, which could ensure that they could still move forward at an astonishing speed.
Before they knew it, they had already reached the vicinity of Izumo Town. They could see Izumo Town just a little further ahead.
A general was clad in battle armor and holding a saber in his hand. He came in front of Mao Sui and bowed slightly, saying, "Minister, according to the map, Izumo Town is in front of us. According to the intelligence, Izumo Town is nearby and is considered relatively prosperous. The total number of people in the town is no less than one or two hundred thousand. It is said that before the natural disaster, they had plans to become an Immortal City. However, now that they are facing the natural disaster, the pressure is greater than that of other human forces. "
The general said quickly.
This was the basic intelligence of Izumo Town. Of course, some of it was provided by Izumo Town, and some of it was investigated by the Temple of Natural Disaster. The Temple of Natural Disaster could be said to be constantly infiltrating the surrounding areas.
"Well, since we have arrived at the edge of Izumo Town, we will use peaceful means before resorting to force. We will directly inform Izumo Town to express our friendship. We are not trying to harm them, but to bring the sincere greetings and goodwill of Da Yi. "
Mao Sui took a deep breath, nodded, and spoke calmly.
At this time, it was natural for him to reveal his identity and to show that he had no malicious intentions. He was not an enemy. Otherwise, it would cause some misunderstanding, which would not be good.
"Forward!"
The general nodded. This time, Mao Sui was the leader of this diplomatic mission. The army was only to escort and protect the safety of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. The rest was arranged and dispatched by the emissaries.
Boom! Boom!
The army moved forward in an orderly manner, causing the ground to shake violently. Countless snow fell from the surrounding trees, and snowflakes fluttered wildly in the air. The huge roar was like thunder. Even if the people in the vicinity had not noticed it before, they would have noticed it now. They did not hide their arrival at all.
"Who is it? Who are you? This is Izumo Town of the human race. Stop 300 meters away. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. "
Sure enough, amidst the roaring of the army, they could see that there was a fairly large Immortal town towering proudly in the distance. Although it looked like a town, it was actually not one bit inferior to a great city from ancient times. In fact, it was even more shocking. On the city wall, they could see a large number of guards standing on it. They were dressed in clothes, and their faces were still cold and pale. One could imagine how difficult it was to guard the city wall in this snowy weather.
The eyes of these guards were filled with wariness. Obviously, they were shocked by the sudden appearance of the human army in front of them. At the same time, they issued a cautious warning.
However, when they saw the army of Da Yi, they felt an indescribably powerful pressure, as if there was a terrible sharp blade across their necks, which made them shudder. It was difficult not to be afraid. They felt that compared to them, they were like the difference between a regular army and a miscellaneous army.
Their hearts seemed to stop for a moment.
That kind of pressure was really like a mountain. It was crushing on them and suffocating.
"We are the emissaries from the Da Yi Dynasty of the human race. We came to Izumo Town this time because we learned that the town is running short of supplies. Therefore, we specially brought some food and supplies to express our condolences to the people in the town on behalf of the Da Yi King. These are the supplies we brought. Please pass on the message. "
Mao Sui cupped his hands and bowed. With a smile on his face, he spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
With a wave of his hand, the army behind him took out a storage bag and poured it out. It was a batch of rice, a variety of vegetables, clothes to keep warm, and all kinds of daily supplies. The quantity was not small at all. The densely packed supplies were presented in front of them. It was truly shocking.
On the city wall, many guards quickly swallowed their saliva when they saw it.
There was nothing more exciting than seeing a mountain of food when one was hungry.
"It's food. Oh my god, it's really food. It's so white, so white, so white. "
"I'm not dreaming, am I? It's really food. There are mountains of food. I've never seen so much food. Are these all for us?"
"The Da Yi Dynasty. These are the emissaries from the Da Yi Dynasty. They're here to deliver food and supplies to us. Great! Long live the Da Yi Dynasty. Long live King Yi. I've long heard that the Da Yi Dynasty is the most powerful dynasty among the humans. They have always treated our people well. As long as humans enter the Da Yi Territory, they will accept them without hesitation. They will even give them a place to live and cultivate as cultivators. It's truly the golden age of the human race. "
"Great! King Yi definitely won't let us starve or freeze to death. Now, Da Yi Dynasty actually has supplies to help us. As expected, the foundation of the Da Yi Dynasty is truly unimaginable. It would be great if we could become Da Yi's people. "
On the city wall, a large number of people had already rushed up when they heard the commotion. When they saw the army outside, their faces lit up with intense excitement.
The people who had begun to despair because of hunger suddenly regained their vigor. There seemed to be hope in their eyes.
Dong! Dong!
Dong! A series of hurried footsteps could be heard. Several figures quickly appeared on the city wall. One of them was Chen Zhixian, the Town Lord of Izumo Town.
When he saw the army outside the city, his face lit up with joy. He said loudly, "Great! Great! This is great! Our Izumo Town is saved! Quick, open the city gates and welcome the soldiers of Da Yi Dynasty into the town."
When he saw the mountainous piles of food, the heavy pressure in his heart suddenly dissipated.
They were saved. They were really saved this time. With food, they had everything they needed to survive.
Guards immediately went down to open the city gates.
At the same time, they went to welcome them.
It should be noted that a large number of Thunder Pearls were buried within a radius of three hundred meters outside Izumo Town. These things were much more terrifying than landmines. Once they exploded, people would either die or be severely injured. They were extremely destructive.
Without specialized guidance, it would be very difficult to enter the town easily.
"The people's hearts are at our Da Yi Dynasty."
Mao Sui's face lit up with confidence. From the faces of the people in the city, it could be seen that they already had a very good impression of Da Yi Dynasty. Not only did they not reject him, but they also looked forward to him. This was naturally a good start.
"Da Yi Minister of Rites, Mao Sui, greets Town Lord Chen. Under the leadership of the Town Lord, Izumo Town is truly a great paradise for the human race. "
