Chapter 253 Taking advantage of the situation

In this way, after two days of calm, Safi went back and forth between the refugee camp and the city every day, carrying food, medicine, clothing and other things donated by the city, without concealing his whereabouts.

On the third day, Safi inspected the situation of the refugees in the refugee camp, tried his best to calm the refugees' bad mood, and arranged work.

Then someone rode a fast horse into the refugee camp and shouted loudly: "Where is Miss Safi? The granary was burned. Your Highness asked you to return to the city as soon as possible to discuss how to deal with it!"

Safi was furious: "Shut up!"

Sure enough, these words caused widespread unrest. The food that the refugees used to deduct taxes was burned by malicious people, which gave the rebels an excuse to forcefully collect food again. There was no surplus food in the family, and now they heard that the granary was burned down.

It is inevitable to feel panic instinctively.

The burning of the granary means a decrease in food. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must give priority to ensuring that the army and nobles have food and clothing...then do they have no food to eat again?

The emotions of adults infected the children, and for a while the refugee camp was filled with the sounds of children crying. Such cries made people upset and uneasy.

This is the effect Safi wants, she wants to shout out in public that they are in trouble now, so that the people being helped will remember their help even more.

"Don't be anxious, everyone!" Safi had the person who reported the news tied up and covered his mouth, and then said in a reassuring and convincing manner, "We have burned down a granary, and we still have

In another place, even if another granary is burned down, we can still mobilize food from other nobles' territories, so don't worry."

Safi is currently very prestigious among the refugees. What she said made people feel somewhat reassured. Although they were still feeling uneasy, at least there was a glimmer of hope.

I don't know who whispered: "Miss Safi said this, we believe you, we only believe you."

Someone started, and naturally others followed, and many people immediately repeated: "Yes, we believe Miss Safi."

Safi's eyebrows suddenly moved slightly. There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but what if she betrayed the trust of the refugees?

It is difficult to succeed in a person, but it is too easy to destroy a person. It only takes a little mistake to put a person into an irreversible situation.

But does Safi have the right to deny it now? She has single-handedly contributed to this situation. If she denies it, she is going back on her word.

The person who first said this could no longer be found, but Safi never thought of denying it. She smiled and accepted the refugees' trust in her. After saying some more words and making some promises, she rode here.

The messenger's horse had left. After all, Fred was still waiting for her to return to discuss matters.

Safi hurried back, where Fred, Ulysses and some others were waiting for her.

"Don't worry," Fred smiled gently at her, "it's nothing."

Yes, nothing happened. After Safi sat down, he asked: "Is there anything wrong with the original grain in the granary? Didn't they notice anything?"

Since someone followed her three days ago, the food in the granary has been secretly moved to other places. The food delivered to the refugees every day is prepared in advance and only lasts for one day.

They rented several private houses to store the transferred grain, and they were all guarded. Anyone who came within a hundred meters would be arrested.

It is difficult for them to manage the refugees outside the city, but no one can find out the things they don't want people to discover inside the city.

Safi asked again: "Have you caught the arsonist?"

"Dead," Ulysses replied, with a somewhat ugly look on his face, "He was a dead soldier. He died as soon as he was caught. I didn't even have time to take action."

Ulysses is very accomplished in light magic, especially healing, purification and other magics. It only takes three or four seconds for him to activate magic. However, in this time, people will die.

Already?

"How could this happen?" Safi couldn't help but ask, "For such a powerful magic, the chanting time must not be short. How could he die within a few seconds?"

Ulysses' expression became even worse: "They wrapped the poison in a capsule, and when we weren't paying attention, they bit the capsule. They kept their heads hanging down, and they were in the same posture whether they were dead or not."

This time he was careless. When he caught someone, he should have searched them all over. He shouldn't have just left them there and given them time to commit suicide.

"It's okay," Fred didn't blame him. "Just be careful next time, and they didn't cause any damage this time."

It was precisely because no damage was caused that Ulysses relaxed his vigilance. If the granary was really burned down, Ulysses would have wanted to peel off their skins, which would not have given them a chance to commit suicide.

Fred opened his mouth, and naturally no one continued to pursue it. They started to discuss the next question.

Safi said: "The refugees already know the news, and the spies lurking among the refugees must also know it. As long as they know that our remaining food can only last for ten days, and we have encountered difficulties in preparing food, the rebels will

The army will definitely be defeated within a month."

In other words, this war will inevitably end within a month, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

This rebellion has been going on for half a year, and it is what everyone wants to see come to an end.

"So, where is Felica?" Everything else had a rough outline, and Safi started to care about Felica. After all, she had been worried about Felica's situation, "Let Felica come back."

Bar."

Fred hesitated: "It's better to wait until the war is over and venture out of the city now. The risk is too great."

Safi was a little disappointed, but said nothing more.

Then, in just one day, rumors about insufficient food spread in the refugee camp. When Safi arrived at the refugee camp, the situation was already abuzz.

Safi was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Who said that? Who said that? Find out immediately!"

How can you find out, let alone Safi's person who originally spread the news himself, but others don't know it. In the eyes of others, Safi is so angry that it shows that Safi has a guilty conscience and is right.

Someone sneaked out of the refugee camp quietly, used a special method to send a message to Kress, and then wiped away the traces. When he was about to return to the refugee camp, he was suddenly attacked from behind. He didn't even have time to resist, but was tied up and secretly sent away.

In front of Ulysses.

The next thing was about Ulysses. Ulysses didn't tell him that much, didn't give him any chance to commit suicide, and directly tortured him, killing all the remaining spies hidden among the refugees.

He dug it out and notified Nancy to bring the food outside back to the city.
