Chapter 759: Chapter 458: The Torrential Rain Arrives_3
The Supreme Council had announced in their latest bulletin this morning about last night’s attack launched by the Divine, stating explicitly that the extreme weather events occurring within the Siya Continent were the works of the Divine and warned all regions to take precautions.
"The workings of the Divine...What are we going to do?!" Buck suddenly panicked; he had felt something was off when he saw the clouds this morning...It turned out it really was the Divine causing trouble!
"Don’t just stand there, hurry up and harvest the wheat!" Johnson shouted, his face turning pale.
Although he wasn’t skilled in farming, he knew the heavy impact rain could have on the wheat harvest...
If they failed to secure the wheat this time, it wouldn’t just mean that past investments were wasted, he would also have to compensate those forces that had signed purchasing contracts with him!
...
Outside the Golden Barley Palace.
"Shhh, latest news, half of Tilamei’s farms have been harvested already!"
"That fast! That Lord of Tilamei must truly be abnormal!"
"Mind your words!"
"...I mean, Councilman Colin is truly a rare genius!"
At the side entrance of the Kingdom, merchants like Frank gathered, waiting for Atbolde’s summons.
Some of them, sensing something last night when Claire tried to disperse the clouds, came early to seek an audience with Atbolde.
And with the early start of spring harvesting and the debut of the grain harvesters, even Frank and Dougla rushed over!
"What in the world is that grain harvester! It’s so amazing!"
At this moment, they were discussing quietly the latest farming updates brought by Dougla’s subordinates.
"Yes, before I arrived, I took a distant glance, and just like that, it drove past, you couldn’t see any action, but the wheat in the fields neatly vanished, and the most crucial part was that the wheat kernels were separated from the stalks immediately! When it returned, they could be bagged directly! If we previously relied on serfs, it would take half a day for an acre to complete the threshing!"
"The grain industry of the Siya Continent is about to change!"
"Don’t just talk about the grain industry... look at those dark clouds above, what the future holds for Siya Continent... who can really tell?"
Once this merchant spoke, everyone suddenly fell silent, and for a moment no birds chirped.
Dougla stared emotionlessly at the entrance of the Palace, ignoring the discussions nearby, and merely motioned to his subordinates with a light wave of his hand: "Explore further!"
Click.
Just then, the doors of the Palace suddenly opened.
"Sorry, Lord Atbolde was busy with the spring harvest last night and made you all wait, but he is now available. Please follow me."
"It’s fine, not just waiting till midnight, I’d be willing to wait two more days!" Frank forcibly smiled as he stepped forward, his face brimming with a grin, his eyes nearly squinted into a slit.
"Lord Atbolde has worked hard, if he’s tired, we can also come back this afternoon to visit!" Dougla cursed under his breath and hurriedly rushed forward smiling.
Talks of political influence, strategic alliances... all vanished under the changing weather and those grain harvesters.
All the merchants present knew that the Tilamei Plain would definitely become the dominant force in the grain industry! The Lord of Tilamei would also become the uncrowned king controlling the food supply.
They must establish their positions now, or all the years in business would have been for naught!
Time silently passed.
After most of the day, the spring harvest on the Tilamei Plain was completely finished, and all the grain had been moved into the storehouses.
At the same time, a fierce downpour descended in this ink-like pitch-black night.
