Chapter 118 Food shortage

After Eiger said this, he attracted the remaining few guys like staff. They were surprised that the newly arrived little wizard could actually grasp the current embarrassing situation of the People's Army so accurately, and they intended to communicate.

"Your Excellency is right, this is what I am most worried about. It is simply to expect those corrupt nobles to be kind and be fond of a tiger. Van Cliff has set an example for us. Being too convinced by those nobles is equivalent to seeking death, so our People's Army will save itself! But Iger, you are also relieved. We are from the mercenary group and understand the minds of free mercenaries. After completing the task, we will definitely have real money and no default. We do not have food, but we can still use some of the coins we saved before."

In order to enhance his persuasion, Storman took out a purse from his arms and poured out dozens of golden coins from it... Well, Egg is satisfied now, at least there is no problem with the coin reward. The third rule of the Free Mercenary Code is available. There is no clear task of rewarding, so we will never do it! Mercenaries sell their lives. The profession of grabbing food on the tip of the knife is not a good place, and they will not do the business that loses money! Now he is at least a free mercenary and must have professional ethics!

"Okay! It's easy to do things if you have money!" After thinking for a while, Egg dragged out a wild boar's body from the space: "Hey, you are short of food. I happened to hunt a wild boar before. I didn't charge you more. I won't charge you more than 20 silver coins. The price is usually higher, but in the west where food is short, I believe you won't refuse!"

Not only is it a little higher, but it is a total of 3 times higher, okay? But everyone knows that if he really sells it at the market price of 6 silver coins, who wouldn't he sell it? Obviously, he has space equipment and transported it to the western wilderness. It's just this price, and he may not be able to buy it even if he has money, because not everyone has space equipment.

"Trade! Do you have any extra wild boars here? I'm going to have a whole bag?" Storman immediately made a decision to pay.

"Yes! There are two more. I originally kept for my spare rations. I only have a 4 cubic meter bag on me. I can't put it down too much. I'll sell it to you now. I'm in urgent need. I'm hiding my weakness. There are many corpses like wild boars, wild wolves, and wild bears in his space. But I dare not take it out because it will directly reveal the secret that I have a lot of space equipment. Only 4 cubic meter can still be accepted. If you really want to move out dozens of wild boars, what will others think? You will definitely blow it up like a boss. Isn't this stupid?

How good is this now? Selling three wild boars to make some money. It is not taboo, but also letting others remember you. It is a favor. The corpses of three wild boars are enough for them to cook soup and other things. Everyone can divide them into one or two bowls and one or two slices, and it is still OK to replenish their strength.

"When you are traveling in the western wilderness, if you encounter wild animals, please bring them back together. We will buy them at this price. Please be sure to help us!" A staff officer came up next to him, and his eyes shining.

"Your strength is actually quite strong. Haven't you ever thought about hunting some wild beasts by yourself? With your abilities, there is no problem!" Aegqi said.

"Of course, there is no problem with strength, but in the area around Sentinel Ridge, let alone the large animals such as wild boars and mountain dogs, we may even have all the mice caught. The soldiers had organized many hunting operations and received a lot of meat to supplement food, otherwise we would not be able to hold on now.

Now all the food in the surrounding area has been eaten up or migrated to a distance. After all, we have to guard the side. If soldiers are sent out to hunt, it is easy to cause empty troops and be defeated by the Diafi Brotherhood one by one, so we can only endure it." The staff officer also explained patiently.

"So, it's more dangerous to leave a certain range of Sentinel Ridge. I'm right?" Egg asked playfully.

Storman said seriously: "You are right. Let's not talk about it for a moment. If we leave a certain range, we will definitely be attacked by the Brotherhood, because we are in a state of hostile war. Even if you free mercenaries will be attacked by them, but the target is a little smaller, there will definitely be dangers. And I believe that since you are here, you will never be afraid of this danger. Mercenaries are originally seeking life from the edge of the knife, and if this is afraid, it will be like going home to plow the fields. Moreover, the tasks we issued here are relatively more rewards, except for lack of food..."

"Okay! I just said that, since I'm here, of course I'm here to help."

"Good! One code is the same as the other. These 60 silver coins are the money to buy meat, so please collect them first!"

Storman immediately handed over some coins and shouted to the outside, "Some people come outside to cook these three wild boars, peel off the skin and make them into nitride, and let the cobbler make them into leather armor. Cut off the large pieces of meat and store them for emergency needs. All the rest is stewed in a big pot, and each brother can drink a bowl at night."

He turned to Eiger and said, "It's getting late now, brother Eiger, don't leave. I'll send someone to arrange for you to stay in the largest hotel here first, and there is no money. This is a benefit for free mercenaries from the west. Come to me tomorrow morning, and I'll explain the situation to you and issue mercenary missions by the way."

The little mage nodded and immediately a young orderly soldier respectfully led him down the ward...

The Sentinel Ridge was not all soldiers. In the past, it was already the economic center of the entire western region. A large number of civilians settled here, and later it gradually developed into a small town. Thanks to the rapid action of the People's Army, coupled with the spontaneous help of the residents of Sentinel Ridge, the place was basically preserved. The sawmills, blacksmithshops, and leather workshops were not damaged greatly and could still maintain their working conditions. Many shops were also open to the public and could trade many types of goods, pottery, wood, daily necessities, salt and other condiments. However, if it were grain, it would have been wiped out long ago...

The people in the Sentinel Ridge are now in a semi-hungry state. A limited supply system for distributing food according to the head is implemented here. All food is not allowed to be hidden at all. After all, the People's Army will be given two meals a day and distributed food at the designated location. After the arrival time, everyone will leave their positions and go to dozens of food distribution stations to receive the food for meals. Most of the time it is a bowl of very thin rice porridge, plus a black bun mixed with a lot of wild vegetables and coarse grains.

It is certain that you can't eat enough, but fortunately, you haven't starved to death yet! After all, most of the people in the Western People's Army are from local residents. They have the passion to protect one side, and of course they will not act like fish and meat villagers. This non-governmental organization is very popular in the local area, because one of the soldiers who came to patrol today is her husband or his son. Such a team is fighting to defend their homeland. How can they not be loved?

People have harmony, places have advantages, and time is still lacking...

God seemed to be joking with the people here. Just as they worked hard for half a year, looking at the heavy wheat ears in the fields and preparing to organize the harvest, the Diafi brothers came back. These people who were originally worthy of sympathy have now become extremely extreme and dangerous destroyers. They kill local people everywhere, grab their food, and set fire to fire if they resist. Because of the "masterpieces" of these invaders, the entire western region is now extremely short of food.

Fortunately, I came to Yuexi Brigade, and fortunately, I came to Storman. The Western People's Army was established at this time. On this land that was tragically damaged by war and had the blood of the people, the legendary mercenary leader climbed up and shouted, and responded. A large number of Westerners had their backbone. The young and strong ones put down their hoes, picked up bows, arrows, swords and guns, and entered the battle after simple training. After several bloody battles against the Brotherhood, Diafi's momentum was curbed...

However, the culprits who brought trauma to this land are still there. Although the Brotherhood is also injuring, they are still active in various parts of the west and constantly inflicting greater pain on the people.

Many production fields were burned out in repeated competitions. Some were released by the Brotherhood, while others were indeed rebelled against the hopeless masters and reluctantly released them... Since they were unable to resist, they could not use these foods to support the enemy. In this sense, the life of the Brotherhood may not be easy, everyone is ok.

However, Diafi is Diafi after all, and Van Cliff is Van Cliff. They controlled the long coastline of the western wilderness and colluded with the infamous South China Sea pirates. With the support of these pirates, they could obtain some food from the sea, and their lives were much better than the Western People's Army.

At this moment, the group of nobles in Stormwind City took action. What these corrupt nobles who originally wanted to sit in the mountains and watch tiger fights liked to do the most was to let others beat them to death and reap profits by themselves. But now they can't sit still because of the intervention of the South China Sea Pirates, the balance of victory directly tilted towards the Diafi Brotherhood.

They calculated the account very clearly. If the People's Army wins, their leader will be just a civil mercenary, giving certain status and interests, or at most giving certain autonomy rights, the western wilderness will be under their control...at least most of them.

But if the Diafi Brotherhood wins, they will lose the cannon fodder of the People's Army and need to face Van Cliff's anger directly, and there is no room for compromise between them. Especially when the South China Sea pirates are still helping these robbers, the perfect match between robbers and pirates makes the nobles of Stormwind City feel like pins and pins.
