"We can't go into the city!" Neos shouted as soon as he came up.
"Can't enter the city?" Boudica repeated while frowning, and lightly tightened the white cloak on his body.
It's getting colder and it's been foggy since early morning.
The simple tents have long been unable to keep out the cold, and the clothes hidden in the boxes are wet and rotten.
The people who followed her hoped to go to the city early and find a house with no air leakage to spend the winter.
But now he said he couldn't enter the city, and the crowd suddenly became excited.
"Go back again!"
"Oh no, why is this!"
"Yes! Why!"
Behind Boudica was a team of hundreds of people. They whispered to each other and looked at Neos from time to time, feeling really wronged.
Nios ignored them, stared straight at the queen, and said bluntly, "I can't enter the city now because the conflict between the residents and you was only temporarily eased.
However, the basic problems of lack of food and grass and the shortage of housing have not been improved, and the contradictions have not been resolved. If things go on like this, the friction will definitely deepen;
At that time, we will either plunder other cities, or massacre the local city residents to squeeze out the last rations. "
"The last ration?" asked Boudica, frowning.
"One, farmers are often extremely cunning. They will hide their last belongings in the cellar and under the bed boards, and will never take them out until the last moment."
Neos paused for a moment, "Second, is cannibalism."
In the ancient battlefields recorded in the history books, human beings were an important source of protein supplementation at critical moments.
Maybe it's because the remarks are too shocking, maybe it's because I didn't expect that a well-dressed person can be so beastly.
Boudica and the people behind him suddenly fell silent.
Nios knew that his words had worked, and he chased after the victory: "And Paulinus is now gathering troops. If he seizes the opportunity to attack the city, maybe the oppressed residents will open the city gate for him instead."
The words have come to this point, those who should understand the truth also understand the situation, and those who do not understand the truth also understand the facts.
That's when they're back in that muddy camp, gnawing on moldy food, soaking wet.
But there is still hope for a smile, because the Queen has not yet made her final decision.
"Boudica!"
He looked at her with hopeful eyes.
Boudica felt as heavy as a mountain behind him. On the one hand was the livelihood of the people, and on the other hand was the advice that sounded very correct.
She looked around at everyone, hoping that someone could give her instructions, but without exception, at this time when she needed to speak the most, everyone hid in the crowd, bowed their heads, silent like a stone.
Until Boudica saw the most familiar face.
"Grandma, let's just listen to Master Neos." Anya stepped out of the crowd, looked at Neos, and then at her mother, with a gentle smile.
"But your sister..." Boudica couldn't bear it.
"It's okay, I will take good care of her," Anya tilted her head, "Always will."
Neos glanced at the girl in surprise, and the girl also looked at him.
She slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, winked at him mischievously, and smiled.
Neos' eyes were slightly concentrated, he immediately turned his head, took a step forward, and asked urgently, "Boudica!"
She needs to make a decision as soon as possible.
Boudica glanced at the emaciated and blank-eyed people, then at his daughter smiling at him, and at Neos with a serious expression.
After a long silence, she waved feebly.
"Let's go back."
......
It was noon and the weather was still cloudy.
The queen's big tent was set up first, and Fei stood guard at the door, with the brim of her hat hanging down, so she couldn't see her face clearly.
A low growl came from inside the tent, like the howling of a hungry lioness.
"What are we going to live here?" Boudica slammed on the pillars of the house, causing the roof to shake slightly.
"Just put up the tent again, but remember to choose a dry place next time." Nios stood at the door, raised the curtain and looked at the busy crowd outside.
"But have you ever considered that we only put up the tent last night?" Boudica yelled.
Nios shrugged: "So, tents are also pitched when entering the city, and tents are also pitched outside the city. What's the difference?"
"..." Boudica took a deep breath, looking straight into his eyes: "What about the food?"
"Oats, bark, grass roots, there is always something to eat." Neos said calmly.
"That's what horses eat!" Boudica yelled.
"That's right, horses can eat, so people can eat too,"
Neos frowned, a little puzzled by her angry point: "After all, why do we eat what horses can't eat?"
"But, but..." Boudica was speechless, blinking his eyes frantically, grinning and panting.
She couldn't find anything to refute, she just felt that this person was so ridiculous.
Neos looked her in the eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble, Boudica, you know in your heart that what I said is right, this is just a very simple order."
"A simple order?" Boudica laughed angrily.
She didn't know why she was so angry.
Is it because I tried my best to resist all opinions and finally issued an order prohibiting looting of residents?
Or was it because the leaders pushed her out and put her tribe at the end of the city relocation queue on the grounds that there were few people, and the people below were already dissatisfied with this?
And the people are already very dissatisfied with this, and now I want to tell them not to enter the city?
Lenovo how much anger she endured along the way, how much tongue wasted to bring so many people here.
The great grievance broke out in an instant.
Nios was grabbed by Boudica's skirt and pushed hard against the pillar. The huge vibration made Nios hum in a low voice.
A dark shadow flickered in the door curtain.
"grown ups!"
Fee rushed in.
"It's okay." Neos raised his hand to stop her.
Boudica's blue pupils burst into a frightening light: "But sometimes being right doesn't mean it's simple! Your so-called simplicity doesn't mean you can do it with just moving your fingers!"
"Boudica, you begged me to help you the day before yesterday." Neos said slowly.
"I beg you, I beg you because I can't help it..."
Tears welled up in Boudica's eyes, and his expression was half angry and half sad: "But I am a mother! I have two daughters, one is half dead, and I want to leave them in this ghost place.
I am still the queen who bears the livelihood of thousands of people!I promised them that there would be a better life outside, and I would take them away from home!
But now they can only watch the city from a distance!And the people inside are having a carnival! "
"Boudica..." Neos said softly.
"Mom!"
The curtain was thrown back, and Boudica's daughter Ania came in.
Boudica trembled slightly, she closed her eyes and lowered her head, her long red hair was scattered, covering the fragility and sadness on her face: "This is not a game...Master Neos, it's not about waving your fingers, A game where everyone will follow you unconditionally..."
Neos pursed his lips, a slight confusion flashed in his eyes.
While shaking her head, she murmured: "Although one of your orders is simple, please consider that there are thousands of people, there are thousands of ideas..."
"......thanks."
After finishing speaking, Boudica let go of him, and when he raised his head to look at his daughter, he was all smiles.
"Hmm, what's the matter, Anya?"

Chapter 45 Chapter 45 What you guard is also guarding you
Neos opened the curtain of the tent and walked out, keenly aware that many eyes were looking at him.
Loggers, firewood gatherers, cookers, tent builders...they were scattered in a huge open space, and several fires were lit in the open space to illuminate their faces.
If it wasn't for themselves, they should have enjoyed a clean and dry residence in a huge city, enjoying the sense of security brought by thick buildings.
But now that they came back here again, Immortality caused a huge psychological gap.
The people around didn't move, didn't speak, just simply watched.
Neos felt inexplicably heavy.At this moment, he somewhat understood why Boudica was angry.
When he fled on Mona Island, everyone could only obey him because of life and death; after that, Fei was the only one under his command, and he would never question him.
This gave him a habit of thinking, thinking that if he can think of it, others can think of it, and if he can do it, others can do it too.
But it just ignores the individuality of human beings.
Nios was suddenly a little irritable. After a soft "tsk", he ignored the eyes around him and walked forward with his head down.
The girl Fei followed step by step.
The two walked all the way, out of the crowd, and came to a surrounding highland.
The icy wind blew through the mountains and forests, and the forest resounded like the sound of waves, and occasionally birds and insects sang.
Nios stood on the high ground, took a deep breath, and finally felt his body became lighter, as if he could breathe again.
