Chapter 210 I will take action
At dawn, farmer Boluti came to the farmland with a basket on his back and a sickle in hand.
Today he decided to mow the wheat earlier. Two relatives would come over at noon, and he couldn't get away at that time. He had to talk to them about all kinds of trivial things, and he had to finish his morning work first.
Wheat prices were so low during the war that farmers could only sell their grain to the Empire or be punished with treason.
Two days ago, a sand lizard rushed into the field and ate a lot of wheat.
The officer who led the sand lizard also said that it was the wheat in the field that lured the sand lizard, and he suspected that illegal fertilizer was used in the field. In the end, Boluti had to compensate the soldiers with a bag of wheat.
But there is nothing we can do about it. What can we do as a farmer? We can only hope that God will help us and make the wheat grow more and heavier so that we can cope with various disasters.
Poluti walked all the way to the farmland, and suddenly found that the field was empty.
Where is the wheat? Where is the wheat?
The wheat that was supposed to be golden disappeared, not even the straw was left.
He squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them.
The scene in front of me didn't change at all.
Boluti thought to himself that it must be an illusion, yes, he went to the wrong field, and this was not his field.
But when he looked around, the surrounding farmland was empty.
At this time, the farmer was still thinking that he must have gone to the wrong place. I was really confused and walked to the other side of the field.
But he looked around, and wherever he looked, all the wheat fields were swept clean.
The rising sun shone on the ground, clearly illuminating the farmland. Only many large locusts were lying on the ground, still gnawing on the wheat residue.
Boluti took a few steps in confusion, his body shaking uncontrollably.
Damn it, damn it!
The emperor does not let us have enough to eat, and God also bullies us.
I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore!
Boluti blew his nose hard, waved the sickle in his hand, and slashed at the locusts in the farmland.
"If I don't let you eat, you don't want to eat either! You all starve to death, you all die!"
But the locusts didn't care about his anger.
They easily evade human attacks and do not even affect chewing in their mouths.
Then the locusts flapped their wings and flew to the next farmland and fruit forest.
…
A caravan transporting grain was traveling on the road.
Mules and horses pulled carts filled with wheat and pumpkins in sacks. These two foods are the most important army rations in the empire. They are easy to transport and store and have high yields.
The tax officer and the construction officer led the team in front, and the group collected grain from a village. This batch of food will be transferred to the quartermaster's office in Crystal City, and then uniformly deployed and sent to the front line by the militiamen of the logistics regiment to ensure that the frontline soldiers and sand lizards have enough food every day.
The sun had just risen not long ago, but suddenly the sky darkened.
There was a large dark cloud in the sky. The cloud was getting lower and lower, and actually fell down.
The horse herder knew the wild things best. He shouted: "Locusts, locusts. These are really big."
The empire has encountered locusts, and there have been several locust plagues. However, under the action of the apostles, these insects were quickly killed and very few were left.
There are still fields, but they are no longer a problem.
But for some unknown reason today, the locust swarms appeared again and attacked the Imperial Army's pay menacingly.
The tax collector shouted: "Soldiers, soldiers, drive away the locusts!"
The soldiers hurriedly waved shields and spears, but these were too clumsy for the locusts. The insects didn't pay attention at all. They gnawed and scratched and tore open the sack one by one. The wheat inside flowed out like sand. The locusts swarmed up like a pack of wolves sucking blood.
"For attacking the imperial baggage, you should be killed!"
The construction officer was furious and took the lead in pulling out his dagger and slashing the back of a locust: "Kill it!"
But after the sword hit, the slime locusts emerged from their bodies, but they did not die. Instead, they slowly turned their heads, their compound eyes facing the construction officer, staring at him blankly.
This scene made the construction officer feel a little nervous.
He slashed the big insect into two pieces with one blow, and then let out a breath of evil.
Damn beast, how dare you threaten an imperial officer!
At this time, the construction officer suddenly felt something was wrong.
He saw that many locusts had stopped eating, each big insect turned its weird head, and its many compound eyes looked directly at him.
The construction officer couldn't help but take a step back.
The locusts swooped towards him and submerged him in the sea of insects... After a while, only a sword and a pair of limp chain armor were left on the ground.
After eating the builder, the bugs returned to the sack and continued to eat wheat grains and pumpkins.
The soldiers were so frightened that they ran away for fear of being poisoned by the insect swarm. Fortunately, these bugs seem to prefer food and have little interest in hunting humans. Devouring builders is more like a group revenge.
The tax official turned pale with fear when he saw this: "The man-eating monster is a monster. This is an enemy attack. It is an enemy attack!"
"We must report to the Empire!"
He waved his horse whip in a hurry and ran towards Crystal City.
When the soldiers saw this, they also fled towards the city one by one.
…
The same scene played out across the empire.
In the farmland of the village, the raging locusts were feasting and eating like crazy.
The town's food stores were attacked and looted by the swarms.
Transport caravans on the road also frequently encounter locusts - they have clear goals and specialize in attacking grain transport convoys.
Even in the farmland and orchards outside Crystal City, locusts appeared. Fortunately, there are divine totems guarding them. Once these locusts get close to the city wall, they will be burned to ashes by the power of the totems.
In the farmland outside the city, people desperately used torches, chickens and ducks to drive them away, and sprayed poison, but these old methods had little effect.
In the palace of Crystal City, the ministers were worried about this.
"The number of locusts is increasing and has seriously damaged food reserves and logistics transportation in the rear. If they are not contained, the front will run out of food and the entire front will be in danger."
"The scout team's investigation revealed that they come from the Kingdom of Wuji, and they seem to be a kind of creature there. The Wuji people don't eat food, so the locust swarms are small and sleep most of the time. The empire is rich in products, so it ushered in this... A group of monsters..."
"The frontline logistics line was attacked by a spider-like insect monster again. This is really a case of being attacked from both sides."
"The top priority is to continue to increase the collection of grain. We need to transfer the spare grain from the empire's warehouse and fill the hole in front as soon as possible!"
"The locust problem must be solved, otherwise we will just encourage this swarm of insects!"
"The quickest way is to ask the apostles to take action...but the apostles are all on the front lines participating in the divine war..."
"This is how to do……"
The ministers couldn't help but cast their eyes on the stone steps.
On the throne sat Emperor Sauter, the highest authority in the empire and the chief apostle of God Bo.
His Majesty Sauter's face was expressionless at this time. He supported his chin with one hand and looked down at the ministers below coldly, as if he was watching a boring farce.
"I'll take action."
The emperor spoke slowly.
The ministers immediately felt at ease.
In the Boshen Realm, as long as the apostle takes action, it represents the arrival of the god's will. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it will be suppressed and eliminated.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the palace.
The courtiers looked around.
A huge locust flew to an ornamental tree next to the throne. It opened its big mouth and gnawed wildly at the tree trunk.
The sound of clicking was particularly clear in the empty palace.
The expressions of the courtiers all changed slightly, and they all lowered their heads and pretended not to notice.
The sound of chewing stopped abruptly.
They took a peek one after another and found that the locusts had turned into black powder on the ground.
The emperor stood up from the throne and disappeared without a trace.
Cracks appeared on the ground around the throne, and wisps of black smoke rose from the gaps.
Everyone in the palace smiled.
Having angered His Majesty the Emperor, the insects are about to die!
