The Magus Era

Chapter 1051: food crisis

Views:

At night, the sound of rolling waves penetrated the Kasaka city defense formation, and the loud noises one after another made people feel depressed and wanted to vomit.

In Ji Hao's garden, tens of thousands of specially made animal oil torches were suspended in mid-air. A group of flying bear knights who had been urgently reinforced by Si Wenming were riding on ferocious-looking mounts, stationed around with expressionless expressions.

During the day, the more than 600,000 people from the Iron Tiger and Fenghu tribes who almost captured Ji Hao's warehouse were kneeling on the ground, their faces pale, and some were even trembling with fear.

Occasionally, the cries of children came from the crowd, but the sounds soon became muffled, and their parents covered their mouths with their hands to stop their cries.

Just now, there was a child who had been kneeling for too long and couldn't bear the severe pain in his knees, so he stood up and made a fuss. Ji Hao's method of dealing with these children was very simple. Their immediate family members, as long as they were adults, were hung upside down and given a hundred lashes with a dragon-hide whip, until their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they were almost killed. They were beaten to death.

As for the noisy children, one of them received a whip and fainted on the spot.

With the lessons learned from the past, how could the clansmen of the Iron Tiger and Fenghu tribe dare to let their children go

Dozens of stoves were burning red, with hundreds of soldering irons inserted into each stove. A group of tall and powerful Jia warriors stood shirtless next to the stove. With a sinister smile, they grabbed a red-hot iron and pressed it hard on the face of the person kneeling at their feet.

The sound of "chi la" was heard endlessly, and these people, whose faces were deeply branded as slaves, cried and howled loudly.

Several old people raised their hands in mourning and begged Ji Hao who was standing high up: "Uncle Yao, where is your mercy? We are also human beings, we are also human beings! Where is your mercy?"

Ji Hao looked at these crying old men indifferently. His voice was very soft, but it spread throughout the garden, so that all the tribes living in the garden could hear clearly.

"Am I not compassionate enough? I dedicated my garden to let you people who have lost your home live in it."

"Am I not merciful enough? I donated my own food so that those of you who don't have food can eat."

"Am I not merciful enough? You are ungrateful and attacked my people in Yaoshan City, killing 378 people, seriously injuring 6,853 people, and lightly injuring 42,335 people. … I didn’t chop off your heads, I just reduced you to slaves, am I not compassionate enough?”

"On the contrary, it's you who live on my land and eat my food. You attack my loyal people and want to plunder my granary! Where is your conscience?"

There was silence all around the garden, and there were groups of flying bear knights patrolling in the sky. Even if some people still had some strange thoughts in their hearts, they hid all their bad thoughts in the face of the powerful army from the Yu Chong tribe. From the bottom of my heart.

Only the members of the Iron Tiger Tribe and the Fenghu Tribe were secretly weeping, while some were gnashing their teeth and secretly feeling cruel.

There were also some warriors who thought they were superior to others. They looked around furtively, with fierce glints in their eyes from time to time.

Ji Hao's consciousness shrouded these more than 600,000 people, and the slightest change in everyone's expression could not be hidden from his eyes.

Seeing the fierce-looking warriors, Ji Hao sneered contemptuously.

The human race is in the midst of a disaster. It's not that Ji Hao doesn't know how to kill. He just doesn't want to go on a killing spree when the entire human race is worried. This will greatly deplete the vitality of the human race and make the already unstable people even more confused. .

The people of the Iron Tiger Tribe and the Fenghu Tribe just wanted to be slaves to atone for their sins. If they did anything else, don't blame him for being ruthless.

With a flick of his sleeves, Ji Hao led the people away from the scene.

The Jia warriors laughed strangely, and grabbed members of the Iron Tiger and Wind Fox tribes one after another, carrying red-hot irons, and severely branded their faces with marks of shame. A strong smell of burnt flesh continued to spread, and because of Ji Hao's departure, some people among the Tiehu tribe and Fenghu tribe began to cry softly.

The huge garden was occupied by refugees, and Ji Hao only reserved a small monastery in the flower forest for himself.

Sitting in the monastery, Ji Hao nodded to Li Shen, who was almost burned to death during the day, and said in a deep voice: "How did what happened just now?"

Li Shen glanced at Ji Hao in awe, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell the story of the incident one by one.

When the Wanlong Water Sealing Formation collapsed, Puban tried its best to rescue the nearby human tribes. Numerous human tribes, large and small, moved into Puban. For a time, Puban was overcrowded, and Ji Hao's private garden was also filled with outsiders. s population.

But Ji Hao has never stayed here for a long time in this garden. He only left thousands of servants here to be responsible for daily cleaning and maintenance. It was not until a large number of people continued to influx that Shaosi transferred Li Shen and others from Yaoshan City to take charge of the overall resettlement work.

Everything went smoothly a few days ago. Li Shen received food from the granary every day, cooked it into rice porridge and distributed it to the people from various tribes who came to settle in. However, since more and more tribes have settled in, the pressure on food has increased, and the portion of rice porridge and grain distributed by Li Shen every day has been continuously reduced.

As a result, there were rumors among the people who settled in the garden - the food reserves in the entire Pusaka were insufficient, and everyone would starve to death before long.

As soon as the rumors came out, those small tribes were fine. Their tribes were not strong and they followed the rules on weekdays and didn't have too many other thoughts. Only the Iron Tiger Tribe and the Wind Fox Tribe are not as strong as each other. Together they are a medium-sized tribe with hundreds of thousands of warriors. They used to rely on force to oppress smaller tribes that are weaker than them. But they heard that there was not enough food. They immediately turned their ideas into action.

"They want to rob the food in the granary." Ji Hao said coldly: "Well, it's a good idea... But, Pusaka's food... Our food is really not enough?"

Shaosi took out a scroll and quickly opened it, quickly glanced at the records on it, and then sighed softly: "I don't know the overall situation in Pusaka, but the food we have hoarded here, according to the current population, can only Hold on for another month.”

Shao Si raised his head and looked at Ji Hao, with a complicated expression in his clear eyes: "The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable... But Yaoshan City is our foundation, and most of our food is stored in Yaoshan City, under the current situation, it is impossible for us to transport food from Yaoshan City here."

Before Ji Hao could speak, Shaosi continued: "Based on the current situation of our Yaoshan Territory, the food and grass we have hoarded can keep our people from starving to death for three years. But if... if we want to fully bear the burden of these refugees Food supply, at most a month, we will be completely overwhelmed."

Ji Hao was silent, his heart felt cold.
