Chapter 1190 294. The Crisis in Tanton City
Two skinny beggars lay under the eaves at the entrance of the hotel. It was raining lightly under the gray sky. In addition to not being able to see the sun, there will be occasional rainy days, but it is definitely a livable plane.

Mr. Billy pushed open the door of the hotel, broke a hard pancake in half, threw it to the beggar lying on the stone steps under the eaves, and said coldly: "Take it and leave quickly, don't interfere with my business here." .”

The two beggars held the cold pancakes stained with muddy water in their hands, rushed into the long street with drizzle like flying arrows, and ran away without a trace.

Mr. Billy sat back on the chair behind the bar counter, sighed a long time, and said, "Those spider-men are people-eating people. After they capture people, they make pupae and hang them on dead trees one by one. Like mummies that have lost their tombs, people are frightened by the spider-men outside the city, and would rather starve to death inside the city than go out to search for food in the forest."

Then he said: "There are also other people who don't want to stay in the city and wait to die. They would rather die outside the city and bring food back to the city. Resources are scarce in Tanton City. To be honest, I also taste Those spider legs are really rare and delicious, the meat is tender and juicy, and the shell is roasted together to give off a burnt aroma, just talking about it makes my mouth water."

I stared at Mr. Billy dumbfounded. I didn't expect that there were people eating spider legs in Tanton City. I turned my head and whispered to Kalanzo's ear and asked her, "Do you have any left in the hands of the soldiers over there?" Spider legs?"

In addition to the things that the barbarians like to eat, the orc warriors in Xinliu Valley also like to try new ones, so occasionally some stocks can be found in Xinliu Valley. Only a dozen orc warriors participated in this hunting operation. I am not sure about those Do the orcs have spider legs in stock?

Kalanzo nodded slightly to me.

At this time, Mr. Billy was still alone and said with emotion: "There are so many people trapped in Tanton City, they always have to live, and everything is increasing in price now..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a wooden box from the bar, grabbed a handful of copper plates from it, and said with a wry smile: "Now the market is only willing to accept white silver coins and yellow gold coins. Scrap copper and rotten iron, no one wants it even if it is thrown into the trash can.”

He saw me, Kalancuo, and Katerina leaving the bar, and Mr. Billy asked me, "Hey... Wizard Jijia, where are you going?"

I stood at the top of the wooden stairs, pointed to the room upstairs, and said to Mr. Billy, "I'll take a shower in the upstairs room, change into a clean set of clothes, and I'll be right back!"

Mr. Billy first set his eyes on Kalancuo and Katerina for a while, and then gave me an extremely ambiguous look, as if he had already seen everything about me, and said to me: "Magician Jijia, You can take a warm bath comfortably, and I will go upstairs to call you when dinner is ready!"

At this time, the tauren warrior and Justus had already chatted together.

Justus has a certain charisma that everyone seems to enjoy chatting and drinking with.

I opened a portal to Xinliu Valley in the room, and Kalancuo stepped into Xinliu Valley.

I waited in the room and found that the bathroom in the room actually provided hot water, so I wanted to coax Katerina into the bathroom to take a bath with me. Katerina glanced at the teleportation leading to Xinliu Valley in the room door, blushing with shame, no matter how much I persuaded, I refused to agree.

I took a hot shower in the bathroom of Justus' room, changed into a comfortable magic robe, and walked out.

Kalancuo stepped out of the portal carrying a thick giant spider leg. The whole spider leg seemed to be still twitching slightly, and there was faint milky white spider blood flowing from the fracture. I asked Kalancuo in amazement:' Where did you get such fresh spider legs? '

Kalantso explained it to me a little bit, and then I knew that when Kalantso returned to Xinliu Valley, he went directly to the silk reeling workshop and came back with a fresh spider leg.

Now there are more than 100 giant spiders in the silk reeling workshop of Xinliu Valley. Those giant spiders whose legs have been cut off and kept in iron cages have the ability to regenerate, and new spiders will grow from the place where the legs were broken. legs come.

Seeing Kalancuo coming out of Xinliu Valley, Katerina blushed slightly, with a sly smile on her face, and pulled Kalancuo into the bathroom in the room together.

Kalancuo put the giant spider's spider legs on the floor, and before he walked into the bathroom, he turned his head and gave me a look. The meaning in his eyes was clearly: "Come in if you have the guts!" After struggling in my heart for a while, I really tiptoed to the bathroom door to push the wooden door of the bathroom, but I heard a "click", and the bathroom door was locked from the inside.

At this time, I heard Kalancuo and Katerina laughing softly in the bathroom. I could only stand awkwardly at the door of the bathroom and tell them that I went downstairs first.

Mr. Billy saw me going downstairs so quickly, at first he looked at me differently, and then said seriously: "It turns out that Magician Jijia really just changed clothes!"

The two women simply took a shower in the bathroom, changed into plain linen dresses, and then walked down the stairs together.

When the two appeared from the stairs carrying a three-meter-long living spider leg one after the other, Mr. Billy stood up from behind the bar with a face of surprise, pointed to the giant spider leg and asked me: "Ji Jia Magician, didn’t you just say that the spider legs of the two giant spiders you met in the forest were all discarded? Instead, they were picked up by the three adventurers you rescued?”

"I didn't say that I only hunted and killed two giant spiders in the Black Forest this time..." I said to Mr. Billy.

From what Mr. Billy said, we learned that Tanton City is now completely in a semi-paralyzed state, and all kinds of supplies in the city are in short supply. For food, a magic airship full of supplies will fly from Pereira City every half a month. It is not enough to provide some emergency supplies to Tanton City.

Millions of immigrants from the plane of Hierro are crowded in Pereira City. The only passage between the plane of Hierro and the mainland of Roland is in the central square of Pereira City. The portal transports various military supplies around the clock. , less than two hours can be spared for plane immigrants to return to Roland mainland every day.

Such a short period of time is really insignificant for the millions of Hierro plane immigrants who gathered in Pereira City and waited to return to the Green Empire through the portal, which directly caused the population of Pereira City to rapidly expand to the limit.

Even if a large number of people flooded into Pereira City, there are still nearly 15 people living in Tanton City. The material reserves in Tanton City are far from enough to meet the daily lives of these people. The biggest problem is food and some living materials.

Tanton City is a plane city where adventurers gather. This city is located on the edge of the territory of the Duke of Samoyed. Many adventure groups come here to enter the black forest to hunt monsters and obtain some magic crystals. stones and magic materials.Some adventure groups will directly dispose of some magic materials in Tanton City, exchange for supplies and then re-enter the Black Forest to hunt.

Some adventurous nobles chose to open mines outside Tanton City, and some businessmen opened some workshops in Tanton City. The prosperity of Tanton City in the past was built on these people. A large part of Tanton City The supplies were all brought from Pereira City.

Now that there is a problem with the material supply chain between Pereira City and Tanton City, no one knows how long Tanton City can last.

I didn't expect the situation in the Hierro plane to be so bad, but after thinking about it, even the Duke of Samoyed's son Zach and the Duke of Hewlett's daughter Ernestine were killed in the battle of the Hierro plane. Seriously injured, it's not hard to imagine how bad the situation on Hierro's plane is.

At present, the biggest impact on the hearts of the people in Tanton City is the shortage of living materials.

And what I am worried about is that once the city of Tanton falls to the hands of the Nebulu spiderman, the town of Trum will have no meaning at all. Even if it is built at a risk, it will be like an isolated island in the raging sea Facing the torrential devastation of the Nebulu Spiderman.

Katerina and I did not stay in the hotel for dinner at the kind invitation of Mr. Billy, but went out of the city and returned to the imperial capital under the pretext.

Luka the tauren stayed in Tanton City to take care of Justus, and the two of them were also responsible for the transmission of information between Bernd and me. I want Justus to pay close attention to the dwarf Bernd and the dwarves in Dustwallow Marsh. His army of barbarian slaves.

……

"Why do you need so many living supplies all of a sudden?" Aliya sat in front of the desk, holding a list of supplies written on a piece of parchment I provided with both hands, her eyebrows were tightly frowned, and her smart eyes were looking at the parchment one by one. I scanned the handwriting on the paper, raised my head and asked me, "Do you know how big a warehouse is for [-] tons of whole wheat flour?"

Seeing me nodding, she pressed the list of supplies in her hand on the table, leaned over and looked at me charmingly, and said to me: "You are supporting an army, you are supporting a town. All these materials are not lacking in the airport town, but the quantity is a bit large, and it will take a little time to prepare according to the items on the list."

Alia pursed her sexy lips slightly, and said to Betty, the personal maid, "Betty, let someone start preparing these supplies immediately."

She threw the list of supplies to Betty, the personal maid, and Betty obediently agreed, and then left the room with the list of supplies.

"What happened?" Aliya was in the warm room, wearing only a beige sleeveless dress, and now most of her dress is cut from magic pattern spider silk cloth, which is softer and fits snugly , can perfectly outline the female body curve.

Aliya stood behind me, kneading my shoulders with both hands, letting my head rest on her fat-free belly, a sweet breath entered my nostrils, and I couldn't see her when I looked up. Face, only her plump and straight chest can be seen.

I closed my eyes and felt that the sea of ​​spirits calmed down. This is also a rare moment of relaxation for me in the past few days.

I explained to Alia: "Something happened in the plane of Hierro. The Duke of Samoyed probably has a hard time taking care of Tanton City now. The Nebru spiders on the plane of Hierro have been making a lot of trouble recently. It’s just that I can’t abandon Tanton City, my Trum needs to rely on Tanton City to build it, so I’m going to send some supplies to Tanton City so that they can survive this difficult period.”

I want to visit Zach tomorrow to see if there are any new trends on his side. At least I need to know the general strategic intentions of the Duke of Samoyed next. If he wants to completely abandon the Tanton City line, then my side No matter how hard you struggle, there's no point in trying.

Alia turned to my side, sat down next to me, and said to me: "Now His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles is leading the Royal Knights of the Empire to fight on the plane of Ahnquilador, and the commander of the Aix Army of Strange Rock City is following you." Beside me, it is said that the war situation in the plane of Ahnquilador is progressing smoothly. Four of the five major mithril mines there have been recaptured and resumed production. It can be said that the magic mithril crisis in the Grimm Empire has been completely resolved now. .”

It seems that when the magic airship passed by San Carlos City, I saw the prosperity of San Carlos City. The guess I made was correct. The Babington family's industrial empire in San Carlos City is running at full capacity.

Alicia added: "In addition, His Majesty Charles never said how long it will take to reinforce the Hierro plane. After all, apart from a sea of ​​Hessian trees, the other resources on the Hierro plane are not very commendable. No matter how bad the situation on the other side is, it's not the turn to save the Hierro plane, and besides, last summer, the Hierro plane was still in the best situation among the many planes."

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Charles really moved the military power of the Prince of Wales and directly took over the Royal Knights.

I asked Arya, "What's going on with the Prince of Wales?"

"Don't you want to join forces with your rival?" Aliya said, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Boring! I just think His Majesty Charles should have other arrangements with the Prince of Wales." I waited for Alia angrily.

Alicia stuck to me like a lazy cat, and said to me: "How can I know so clearly about these things in the royal family, you should ask Prince James."

Seeing that I didn't speak, she turned to the topic and asked me: "So, you want to smuggle these supplies to the Yero plane?"

I sighed and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do? I can't just watch the people over there starve to death."

Aliya asked me worriedly: "Are you going to give away these living supplies for nothing?"

I said: "How is that possible? There is a lack of living materials over there, but it does not mean that they have no money in their hands. In addition, a large number of nobles gave up their properties in Tanton City during the war. Help me think about it. I should be there It’s easier to change hands in exchange for something.”

Aliya immediately replied: "There is nothing more convenient than trading hard currency such as gold coins. It is best to pay gold coins over there. If the turnover is not open, magic spar is of course also available, but you must follow the rules of the imperial capital. At the exchange rate, one magic spar can only be exchanged for five gold coins in the imperial capital!"
