V8.Chapter 114

Modo City, Chishui Town.

This land is close to the sea, and every time a fish is caught, a large number of red fish swim back, and the nearby river is red, and the name comes from this.

It was already August, because the construction of the town was different, and the wheat harvest also came sooner or later, and Chishui Town was the last town to be harvested. At this time, most of the grain has been dried and gathered, and a man dressed as an official is going from house to house with his entourage. Modo City has its own rules. All food transactions cannot be carried out privately. The surplus food is purchased uniformly, and then the city hall will stabilize the price. The price of grain is set according to the market price, and the harvest was smooth at first, but there was a little disturbance when the second row was received.

"Not for sale."

"My family has a large population and consumes a lot of food."

The speaker was a man dressed as a wealthy businessman, speaking the dialect of the northern border. At this moment, his small eyes were squinting, as if he was wrangling with the officials in front of him.

Pete frowned and looked at the man in front of him. His trip to buy food has been going smoothly, but he didn't expect to encounter trouble here. He glanced at the servant behind him and said, "How many people does your family have? How much food is consumed? How much is the harvest this year?"

"Come on."

"Bring him the population registration file."

soon.

The entourage brought a file from the mayor. Pete just glanced at it and couldn't help laughing, and said, "There are only twelve people in your family, so you can eat so much food? I heard that you have food at the port. Acquaintance, are you planning to sell food without permission?"

Speaking of this, Pete's expression suddenly turned cold.

The wealthy businessman broke down in a cold sweat when he heard it. He didn't want to sell grain but just prepared to hoard it. Now that the world is in chaos, the price of grain has been rising all the way. If there is a way to transport it out and sell it, it is naturally the best. But this thing can't be said on the surface, because Modo City has recently introduced a new law, all food is strictly prohibited from private trading, otherwise it will be imprisoned.

Pete has seen many such people along the way, and at this time he is also unceremonious: "The grain is purchased at the market price, and hoarding is strictly prohibited, and private trading is also strictly prohibited."

"Violators have their fields confiscated and sent to hard labor."

After finishing speaking, Pete was not polite, and directly ordered someone to pull the food, then calculated and threw a bag of silver coins in front of the other party.

"This is Modo City."

Pete thought for a while, came to the wealthy businessman in front of him, and said solemnly: "It's not the North, nor the South China Sea. The first thing to learn here is to obey the rules, otherwise there will definitely be a price to pay."

They have had a lot of trouble since the city hall asked for unified management of food.

Some people want to stock up on food for fear of rising prices in the future. Some people plan to smuggle them out and sell them because of the bumper harvest this year and the rising food prices in various places. Regarding this situation, the officials of Modo City have always been unreasonable, and there is no reason at all, because the current policy is food control, and all those who are unwilling to sell food because they are dissatisfied with the price of Modo City will be forced to do coolies. . Sauron's rule has never been blindly benevolent, and there are many lawful and evil people among the officials of Modo City. They will follow the rules but their methods are cruel enough. This year, the price of grain has been rising steadily. Many of the first batch of people harvested in Modo City, whether they are civilians or wealthy businessmen, have the intention to transport the grain to sell outside. In this case, the Modo City Council’s measure is to force Sexual acquisition. At this time, there is no need for any reason at all, because without Modo City, they would not have everything they have now. If they cannot be expected to be grateful, they can only be maintained by the law.

at the same time.

In the port area of ​​Modo City, ships full of food are also getting ready.

This year, Modo City has ushered in a bumper harvest, but all the grains are forced to be purchased by the city hall at market prices. At this time, the ships full of grains are ready to go to sea, and the fleet will be transported all the way to the Windspear Hills.

This time the decree has little effect on ordinary people.

Because prices in Modo City have always been stable, the most affected are those merchants who expect private sales of grain to earn double or even triple the price. However, everything in Modo City serves Sauron. In front of the general trend of opening up the Windspear Hills, anyone with their own small calculations will be crushed.

City Lord's Mansion.

The merchant's dissatisfaction was passed on to Gloria through some channels, but after learning about the incident, Gloria just said lightly: "Catch a few leaders and deal with it."

The plans for Windspear Hills cannot be disturbed.

Harvesting refugees means a huge consumption of food, and Modo City will continue to provide supplies in the future. For these businessmen who just want to make a profit, Gloria doesn't mind catching a few typical people and killing them.

………………

A small episode has little impact.

However, some interested people still found some signs from clues. Modo City implemented the 'food control' decree, and then other materials seemed to be restricted to some extent. Some smart people have realized that Modo City seems to be going to war, because the city hall is currently hoarding supplies. The Chamber of Commerce, which had been on the verge of making a move, immediately became honest, because killing people in Modo City during the war would never be lenient.

Windspear Hills, Frontier.

The team of ragged refugees were sent to shacks that stretched for miles, where they would wait for three days, first to check for diseases, then to count the population, to register their names and household registration, and then to be sent to other places in the Windspear Hills. place.

In just three days, the Windspear Hills received nearly 15,000 refugees.

And this number is still increasing, because of the news of the relief, refugees from the entire southern region are approaching here.

The number of priests sent by the Agricultural Church has reached more than 100. The same river goddess and sprout goddess also sent priests. They are responsible for guiding the irrigation of the ditches. After a simple rest, these refugees are put into busy work.

Dig ditches, clear land, repair roads, and build city walls.

In order to deal with the next impact of the catastrophe of the saints, Modo City sent a large number of clay golems to build the city walls on the south and north of the Windspear Hills. At the same time, these two places will each hold a permanent army of more than 10,000 people. .

The population controlled by Sauron increased dramatically.

The Windspear Hills itself has a population of more than 100,000, and after receiving a large number of refugees, the number quickly exceeded 200,000.

According to this progress, the population controlled by Modo City and Windspear Hills will soon exceed one million. The expanding population means a steady stream of beliefs. The number of refugees accepted has rapidly expanded to more than 30,000 people, and many of these people have given up The gods he originally believed in, and he was transferred to Sauron and the goddess of agriculture.

Ordinary people's beliefs themselves are not solid, and it is possible to believe in other gods with a little guidance.

During the period when the cataclysm of the saints did not explode, the priests in the Church of the Gods did the most to gain faith and expand the influence of the gods.

Sauron's followers have increased by tens of thousands in a short period of time, and they are still increasing continuously, and large-scale agricultural reclamation has also brought benefits to the goddess of agriculture. Her priesthood is closely related to all of this, and a little guidance can get a lot of money. belief.

All plans are proceeding in an orderly manner.

A bank opened by the goddess of wealth has also recently appeared in Modo City. Currently, it only accepts deposits and does not charge any fees. With the voucher, it can be exchanged at any time in other temples of wealth on the south coast.

………………

The bottomless abyss, the kingdom of shadows.

In front of a magnificent temple, thousands of demon hunters are ready to prepare. Since controlling two-thirds of the land in the kingdom of God, the heroic spirits in the kingdom of God have temporarily slowed down the pace of expansion. A large number of potential petitioners have been transformed into new demon hunter forms. At this time, most of the heroic spirits in the kingdom of God have become demon hunters, and the number has reached thousands.

Metals from the Forgotten Lands are continuously sent into the kingdom of God.

These resources were forged into weapons and armor under the day and night work of the petitioners. At this time, the fighting legion in the kingdom of God had expanded to more than 10,000 people.

Unlike the army in Modo City, most of the petitioners in the kingdom of God are middle and high-level professionals, and there is almost no cannon fodder among them.

Columbus Arena Arena.

Since he took refuge in the evil god, Balor-Sauron seems to have stopped his expansion plans, but he is still gathering demons in a steady stream. Some of them were sent to the mining area to mine hard, and the other part was devoted to the battle to exterminate the undead. Almost every day, thousands of cowardices were sent to the barracks of the Gulumba Arena, and 90% of them died. During the battle, most of those who survived were promoted.

This is a very cruel elimination rule.

In just half a month, tens of thousands of cowardice demons died, but more middle-level demons were born.

Now the worms near the Abyssal Blood Pond have been reduced by half, and under Sauron's madness, even the demons transformed by the Abyssal Blood Pond have been unable to keep up with the consumption progress.

At this time, the demon army in the Gulumba Arena has expanded to about 50,000 people, of which the number of middle-level demons accounts for half. These demons are concentrated in the military camp, and the demon goblins in the magnificent forge are supervising the hard workers. , constantly forging weapons and equipment for them.

The breath of war strikes.

Almost everyone expected that the demon lord Sauron was preparing for a big battle, but they were still unable to determine the target of the attack.

………………

Time passed little by little.

Just as the month of August was about to end, Modo City suddenly built a great temple dedicated to the goddess of agriculture.

At the same time, a dazzling divine radiance also rose from the temple, which was invisible to mortals, but both gods and legendary professionals could sense it. This is a temple favored by the goddess of agriculture. In the shrouded golden light, a beautiful and moving woman also stepped into the depths of the temple.

this day.

The goddess of agriculture came to the city of Modo in person, and settled in the great temple that Sauron prepared for her!

Hundreds of druids and high-ranking priests came to Modo City overnight. On the surface, they were preparing for the grandest harvest festival in Modo City, but they secretly guarded against any possible arrivals with the Shadow Temple. s attack.

Also this day.

Sauron left the city of Modo and went to the bottomless abyss.

According to the content of the True God Covenant, the Goddess of Agriculture will take the place of Sauron in Modo City in the next half month!
