Chapter 139: Danger to the insects (2) _1
Translator: 549690339
(There’s another chapter in the middle of the night. Friends who have time can come and take a look.)
Nett was so tired that he couldn’t even speak. The warrior guarding the gate quickly said to the other, ” “Quickly bring him a bowl of water.” Another person immediately responded and ran to the Guardsman to bring a bowl of water and poured it down Nat’s throat.
Nat’s smoking throat felt better. He struggled to stand up and said, ” &Quot; quick, urgent report. A large-scale insect disaster has occurred in the East of the ika Plains. We need mages to help. &Quot;
The guards were surprised, and then their faces changed. One of them let go of Nat and ran into the castle, while the other held him.
A person like Nate was not qualified to enter the inner castle without being informed. He could only send a letter to the gate of the inner castle at most, and then the guard would send the message in. After that, the people in the inner castle would determine whether the message was important or not and whether they wanted to see him.
The guard helped nett into the room and asked him to sit down, ” “What’s going on? Why did the insect disaster suddenly happen?”
Although Nat was tired to death, he knew that the Warriors who were able to guard the inner castle weren’t simple. Some of them were even from the side branch of the Versailles family. He didn’t dare to not answer. He immediately said, &Quot; I don’t know either. This morning, a supervisor in my jurisdiction region came to tell me. He said that there was a large-scale insect disaster there. Now, a large area of wheat has been eaten. I immediately ran back to report it. &Quot;
The warrior was called sa ding Versailles. He was a member of the Versailles clan’s branch family. His grandfather was an elder. The reason why he was here was because he was old enough to gain experience. This job was also a way for the members of the Versailles clan to gain experience. Hence, he was sent here to guard the door.
Hearing that, sa ding immediately said, ” “When was the insect disaster discovered?” As a member of the Versailles family, he was more aware of the importance of the ika Plains, which was why he kept asking.
Nat didn’t hide it. He said, ” &Quot; I only found it this morning. Everything was normal yesterday, but for some reason, a large number of those bugs suddenly appeared this morning. I immediately came to report. &Quot;
Sa ding frowned as he sat there. He too felt that this matter was very strange. As a descendant of the Versailles family, he had seen more of the world than Nat. Although he felt that this matter was unusual, he never thought that it was man-made. On the continent, he had never heard of any magic that could control insects. Insects did not have any intelligence at all, they acted purely on instinct. Naturally, no one could command them.
These bugs had no combat power at all, so no one would think of commanding them. On the ark continent, strength was everything. People would not even look at things without strength.
It was precisely because of this that although sa ding felt that this matter was very troublesome, he did not think that it was man-made. He only thought that it was a natural disaster.
It was not as if there were no insect plagues on the continent. On the contrary, the ark continent was too big. There were many natural disasters every year. Insect plagues, droughts, and floods happened several times a year.
Just then, the warrior who had gone to report came back and said to nete, ” “Quick, follow me. The elder wants to see you.”
Nett was shocked, and he quickly stood up. Although he was not strong enough, he was still a level 4 warrior. The people on the ark continent had much stronger bodies than those on earth, so he had recovered a lot after a short rest. When he heard that the elder wanted to see him, he stood up immediately.
Sa ding and the warrior who had gone to report the news followed NEET into the inner castle. The inner castle was similar to the iron Mountain castle. As soon as they entered the inner castle, they saw a large training field where many Warriors were training. Walking further in, they came to a Hall where some stewards handled Affairs. There were many houses built around the wall of the inner castle, which were naturally the residences of the Warriors who were training.
Sa ding and the other guard brought Nat to the door of the hall where a steward was waiting for him. Seeing him, he said, ” “Let’s go, the elder is waiting inside.” After saying that, he led Nate into the inner castle. Sa ding and the other warrior didn’t follow him in. According to the rules of the Versailles family, guards like them didn’t have the right to enter.
Sa ding watched as Nat entered the inner castle, then immediately turned around and returned to his own residence. As he was a member of the Versailles family, his status among the Warriors wasn’t low. He had his own room.
As soon as he returned to his room, sa ding immediately wrote a letter to his grandfather. Although his grandfather was an elder, he was not in the galloping bull Castle now. Instead, he was in Casa City. He wanted to tell his grandfather about the insect disaster as soon as possible.
After he finished writing, he rolled the letter into a small roll and sealed it with wax. He took out a wind Falcon that his father had given him and stuffed The Sealed Letter into the small iron tube on the wind Falcon’s claw. Only then did he release the wind Falcon.
The Versailles family’s response was also extremely quick. After receiving the news, they immediately gathered five wind mages and a hundred cavalrymen to head to Nat’s District.
Zhao Hai and green did not know about this. Before they entered the medium, they had deliberately entered the windbreak before entering the medium. They were afraid that they would be discovered when they left the medium.
The two of them slept in the subspace until the afternoon. After eating the lunch that Merlin had prepared for them, the two of them went to the living room. Meg gave them Keya, and Zhao Hai turned on the screen, wanting to see the situation outside. Merlin and meg rarely went outside these two days. They had been staying in the subspace, afraid that something would happen to Zhao Hai and the others, and they could immediately send help.
They were not close to the wheat field, and the screen could see things 500 meters away from Fang Yuan, so they could naturally see the current situation in the wheat field.
However, when they turned on the screen, they were stunned. The wheat field they saw was completely different from the one they saw last night. The wheat field they saw last night was still green and full of vitality, but the current wheat field was completely different.
There was not a single good wheat seedling left in the wheat field. All of the wheat seedlings were only left with a stalk. Moreover, after a day of exposure to the sun, the wheat grains had all fallen to the ground. It was obvious that they had withered and died. There was no way to tell how the wheat field looked like yesterday.
When the two of them saw this, they couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although they knew that the bugs would be destructive yesterday, they didn’t expect it to be so great. In just one day and one night, they had eaten up a good wheat field, and all the wheat seedlings had withered.
It took a while for the two to come back to their senses. Grimm looked at the screen and muttered, ” “Too terrifying. I didn’t expect that little insect to be so powerful. This time, the Versailles clan is in trouble.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said with an ugly expression, ” “I also didn’t expect that these insects would be so powerful. It seems that this time, the ika Plains will really go out of production.” He then turned to meg, who was standing behind him, and said, ” &Quot; meg, tell Ann and the rest to stop extracting the oil for now and focus on processing the corn. Although we’re going to deal with the Versailles family this time, I don’t want the ordinary people of the Duchy of Versailles to starve to death because of us. &Quot;
&Quot; yes, ” replied meg. She had extracted a lot of oil from the fruit Oil in the iron Mountain castle over the past few days. There were more than 20000 pounds, but not much corn had been processed. It seemed that it was better to process more corn now.
Clint nodded and said, ” it’s good to process more grains so that we don’t have to use them when the time comes. If the ika Plains really runs out of food this time, even if the Versailles family can hold on, I’m afraid that the price of food in the entire Versailles Duchy will rise. There are many people who can’t afford to eat. If we can introduce corn and stabilize the price of food, it’ll be a good thing. &Quot;
Zhao Hai sighed, ” if it wasn’t for the fact that the Versailles family is keeping an eye on us, I wouldn’t have done this. We’ve caused the ika Plains to go out of food production. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the slaves living in ika Plains will have to suffer. &Quot;
“We have no choice. If we don’t do this, we’ll be in danger. The Versailles family will definitely send people to deal with us,” said Grimm coldly.
Zhao Hai sighed and looked at the screen without saying anything. Green knew that Zhao Hai could not bear to do this, so he did not try to persuade him. In his opinion, Zhao Hai was still young, and it was already good enough that he could do this.
The sky slowly darkened. However, Zhao Hai and the others were not in a hurry to leave. They knew that the Versailles clan would receive news of such a huge commotion. If they left too early, they might be discovered. It was better for them to wait.
They waited until past nine O ‘clock, when the sky outside was completely dark. Zhao Hai and green came out of the medium. The moment they came out, they saw the fire in the distance. It seemed that the Versailles family was organizing the slaves to exterminate the insects. Fortunately, they came out late and were in the forest, so they were not discovered.
The two of them looked at the flames in the distance and noticed that there were shadows moving under the flames. It was obvious that the slaves were busy. The two of them did not look at them for long. Green LED Zhao Hai to the side of the forest until they could not see the flames. Only then did they walk out of the forest.
Zhao Hai looked into the distance and sighed. He made up his mind and began to release the pests on the wheat field in front of him again. This time, he released 100 mu of land at a time, with five pests on each plant. The pests could survive for a month.
That night, Zhao Hai and green placed the pests in the 7000 acres of wheat fields before returning to the origin space. It was not that they did not want to put more, but there were many slaves patrolling the area, which made it more difficult for them to release the pests.
