The strongest lord system

Chapter 496 The Danger of the Snow Region
Time always passes quickly.

The two-month period is less than one month away, but there is a relaxed and happy feeling in Stormwind City, and the last football match in the football stadium has already begun.

On the mainland, disputes are still spreading.

Because of Queen Ziying's hegemony, the surrounding small countries had no choice but to make offerings. For a moment, the tyrant posture of the Ziying Empire was widely spread in the world. But there seems to be something hidden in the undercurrent of the Ziying Empire.

Look to the north again.

The war between the Snowy Empire and Solomon is still going on, and the ice layer of the Frost City, which is covered with snow all the year round, has already been stained with blood. This place is no longer a snowy area, but a bloody area.

Although the two sides seem to be in a state of anxiety on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this war continues like this, the defeat of the Xueyu Empire is an indisputable fact.

Because big countries are fighting wars, they are not only fighting the army, they are also fighting the economy, and they are fighting food.

Solomon is a church country. They rely on their faith to build a country. They have long been the most powerful country on the mainland.

Although the Snowy Empire is strong and strong, the extreme north it occupies is in a period of ice from the first nine months of the year, so their food is very problematic. Most of their food depends on various unique materials in the snowy territory exchanged with the outside world.

And at this time

"Your Majesty, our food reserves are almost exhausted. The people below are also short of food. If we continue to support the frontline war, our food will be exhausted within a month, and by then we" said in one In the hall made of ice crystals, an old official knelt on the ground with a haggard look on his face.

And in the main hall, there is a throne that looks like an ice cube, and a white-haired old man is sitting on it in a white fluffy robe. It's just that the people below know that this momentum is also sunset and dusk.

"The front line now needs at least 30 troops, plus our million civilians. Our food shortage is huge." Another minister next to him also sighed.

"What about the food we imported from other countries in the past? Although it is now after the disaster, they should be willing to sell it to us as long as I pay a few times the price." This is a beautiful figure sitting inside the curtain beside the hall , the voice is a little weak.

"Those countries that used to trade with us for food suddenly cut off their deals with us. No matter how many times the price we offered, or even better conditions. But they all flatly refused." The old minister said low He said with his head down.

"Sigh. The Solomon Empire must be cheating in it, so that they won't sell us grain." The white-haired emperor shook his head and clenched his fists.

The woman in the curtain pondered for a while, and she said aloud; "Since the surrounding countries are not willing to sell to us, we can go a little further. We have a snowy fleet, and we can use the sea route to buy food from the countries along the route. .”

"Then do you think we should go there to buy it? We don't have much time left." The white-haired emperor turned his head to look at the woman next to him. Although separated by a curtain, his eyes were full of distress.

"The northwest is the territory of the Solomon Empire. Most of the small kingdoms there support the Solomon Empire. The countries that had the best relationship with us have been wiped out in just a few months. Even if we pass by, no one will be willing to sell it to us. And in the neighboring country of Eternal Forest next to us, the elves have always been extremely arrogant and look down on us humans. So this is not a good choice. Then we have to go all the way to the southwest Let’s go. There are Ziying and Osim in the southwest. This is our only hope now. Even if they don’t sell it to us, there are still some small countries around. Although I don’t expect to buy too much food, at least it should be able to barely Support us through this difficult time." The woman said softly.

"But according to the news we got before, the Ziying Empire has just finished the war, and its own food reserves are running out, and the surrounding small countries are forced to pay tribute to it every month. It should not be much There is food. As for the Osim Empire, their food is even more insufficient. Before, they even drove out some civilians on the border to ensure that there would be no large-scale refugees in their own country." A minister stood up and said.

All of a sudden, the hall became very quiet.

"No. There may be food in another place." At this moment, a man in armor with a golden light in his eyes stood up.

"Say it."

"Recently, a chamber of commerce has gradually become stronger. They live in places all over the mainland. Although they don't have any rare commodities, their advantage is that they have a wide range." The armored man continued: "This The name of the first chamber of commerce is the Blizzard Chamber of Commerce. According to our understanding, it is actually supported by a city behind it."

"You are talking about the city located in the Ziying Empire." The woman's voice came out.

"Yes." The armored man bowed his head slightly to the curtain, showing respect.

"Even if they are the forces behind that chamber of commerce, they are just a city after all. How much food can they have?"

"That's right. It's 10,000+ catties at most. That's a drop in the bucket for us."

The other ministers above the hall shook their heads.

"No. As far as I know, after the disaster, that city sold at least 500 million catties of grain to the lords or chambers of commerce in other parts of the Ziying Empire. We may believe that they may have more grain in their hands. Although it can't meet the needs of our country's population, at least it can solve the urgent needs. Now it is almost entering May, which is the hottest time of the year. As long as we survive March, it will snow heavily in August Come on, that is the best barrier for our Frost City, and it will be difficult for Solomon's army to fight us in the ice and snow." The armored man said in a deep voice.

"Hey. In March, we were all looking forward to the arrival of spring. In our snowy region, spring is only a few short months. But now the ice and snow can save our lives." The white-haired emperor shook his head, his face There is a self-deprecating look in it.

"Father, I am willing to take the snowy fleet all the way south. I will bring back at least 2000 million catties of grain to the empire. Cough cough cough" The woman behind the curtain stood up and knelt in the direction of the throne.

"It's your body." The white-haired emperor clenched his fists and looked at the woman behind the curtain.

"My son's body is not as good as our people in the snowy land. Please allow me, father, I will set off with the fleet tomorrow." The woman's voice was weak, but the firmness in it was that everyone present could do it. I can hear it.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to escort the princess all the way. As long as I am still alive, the princess will not suffer any damage." The armored man couldn't kneel down because he was wearing armor, so he directly took out the sword at his waist and stood it in front of him. .

The white-haired emperor sighed: "Sure."

"Everything has been dealt with today. You all get off work early." Allen looked at the stadium in front of him. This was a football match held before. Although it was interrupted for a while due to the earthquake, it was restored later.

Today is the final, and the court time has reached the last 2 minutes.

The elves and the dark horse, eleven mixed-race teams, came to the end.

However, this dark horse will eventually stop here, and the score is now three to one.

"My lord, are you going to Haiyu City?" The black rabbit next to him blinked and said.

"Yes." Allen nodded.

"Then why don't you take us there together? We also want to see the sea. I've never been to the sea when I grow up." The black rabbit looked at Alan pitifully.

The black cat next to her pouted and said, "I'm with Heitu, I don't feel relieved to let her follow you alone. Meow."

"I'm not going to play this time. I have something to do, so forget it." Alan shook his head and said.

"Why. Lord City Master, you can take sister Mirana to go, why can't we go." The black rabbit rushed to the back of Mirana next to him, took Mirana's hand and said softly: " Sister Mirana, please tell the city lord. We are usually very tired, and we have to wipe the buttocks of the city lord every day, and my eyes are red to read those documents."

Shrimp!Isn't the rabbit's eyes red?Allen rolled his eyes.

Mirana touched Heitu's head fondly. For Alan's two secretaries, Mirana has a good relationship with them, probably because they are very cute.

"Master. Just take them there, maybe there are still many things that need to be recorded for them." Mirana looked at Allen with a smile.

Allen shook his head helplessly. He spread his hands and said, "Okay. But I'll tell you in advance that you can do whatever I ask you to do. Don't mess around."

"Yes, Lord City Master." The black rabbit's joy was expressed in her ears, shaking them back and forth.

And the black cat also had an excited expression on her face, but because of her character, she still put on a nonchalant look: "Meow, isn't it just to go to see the sea, what's the big deal."

It's just that the fluttering tail behind her revealed the excitement in the black cat's heart.
