Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Why don't you sell food with the door open!"

"That's right! Isn't this tricking us!"

In the past two days, the rice grain stores in the city have not closed their gates as they did a few days ago, but have all opened according to the orders of the city lord's mansion, but the nobles behind them have not supplied a grain of grain to the rice grain stores. When the civilians who could not buy food saw the rice store open, they gathered around trying to buy some food.

Although the valley has a high grain output, it is densely populated and oppressed by the nobles. Many families have less than a week's worth of food in their homes. They usually rely on working in the city of Burley to exchange wages for food. Now Not to mention the skyrocketing price of food, there is no market at all. If this continues, the poorest and most miserable people in the valley will start to starve.

And other wealthy families who have a little food in stock are also frightened. They are not much better than these civilians who are in urgent need of buying food. After a month or two, they will have to run out of food, and the food on the black market has been fired to sky-high prices. It's not something common people like them can afford, and now they all have...

Seeing the opening of various rice grain shops in the city in the past two days, I thought it was an endless road. These rice grain shops finally returned to normal, but I didn't expect that these rice grain shops with wide open doors would be empty. There was no food, and some civilians who wanted to buy food were still unwilling to leave after learning that there was no food in the store, and stayed where they were arguing with the people in the rice store.

"Why, this is Duke's store, when does it open or not, do I need to explain to you guys?"

The people in the store are not easy to bully. Most of the staff in the rice grain store in the city are the dogs of the nobles in Burleigh City. Those who went to the sky, when they heard that these civilians were dissatisfied, they immediately turned back.

The surrounding civilians did not dare to refute any more. The Duke family is one of the eleven Burley families. There are hundreds of armored guards who can fight in the family, and there are at least one thugs like the thugs in the rice store There are as many as 2,000 people, these people can't deal with the Hunter's army, but they are absolutely easy to clean up some troublesome civilians.

Unless the civilians in the entire Burleigh city rebel, the rule of the Eleven House of Burleigh can be overthrown. But most of the time it is difficult for civilians to unite together, just like there are so many people around the rice store today, but since the people in the rice store announced that there is no food for sale in the store, some people are not in urgent need Those who lived on food left.

Now that the manager of the Duke's family yelled, the number of people has decreased by nearly half. In this city of Burley, which commoner who has eaten the heart of a leopard would dare to provoke the Duke's family.

It is difficult for these civilians to unite when facing the nobles. They each have their own interests and demands, and the speed of uniting is slow, and they are easily divided and disintegrated by the nobles, or even disintegrated within themselves.

"My lord, you see that we don't have any surplus food here, and there are a lot fewer people than before. If you set a high price, let us buy some food."

"That won't work! How can we set a high price! The price is too high and we can't afford it!"

"That's right, if we have money, we'll go to the black market to buy it, why are we still hanging around here?"

"It's good if your lord is willing to sell it to us. Don't you think it's too expensive?"

"You can afford it, we can't afford it!"

"Hmph, there is no food in the rice store today, no one will have it, even if you get a jinnar, this store can't get it out."

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that Jinnar is a bit exaggerated. Don’t look at Richard squandering more than six figures of Jinnar at will, but Jinnal’s purchasing power is still very strong. Most ordinary people have never touched Jinnar in their entire lives. Gnar's concept only stays at very valuable and very valuable.

"There is no food in this rice store, there should be food in the granary in the city."

"That's right, the weather and weather in our river valley have been good these years, and the granary should have been full of grain."

"Why don't you go and have a look first? Maybe there's grain in the granary."

"Let's go, let's go and see."

The crowd changed direction again, heading for the granary in the city. People's herd mentality is very strong, coupled with the guidance of caring people, the people who were waiting in front of the rice and grain stores all joined the group, and after a while, thousands of people gathered. The food period is short, and there has not yet been a large-scale famine. If it takes another week or two, the number of people will probably double again.

According to the rules, a big city like Burleigh should have a large official granary to store the city's spare grain. This kind of grain storage rule is very useful at critical times, and civilians will look at the tall and towering granary. There is a certain sense of security.

The city lord's mansion is not far from the granary. These people couldn't find food in the rice store, and they didn't dare to go to the castle of the nobles. Instead, they thought of the official granary in the city of Burley.

The granary in Burleigh City is tall and strong, but there is not much grain in it, and it is not empty enough to starve the mice away. It also benefited from Sol's previous rectification, otherwise the official warehouse in Burleigh City would not have a grain of grain. nothing.

It's a pity that the nobles of the River Valley have too much influence in all aspects. Once Sol left, they showed their true colors. Dane can only guarantee the military supplies of the River Valley Army, and the rest can only be said to be helpless. In this short period of time, Burley The official warehouse in the city is almost empty again.

Santo's Mansion

Morel was sitting in the chamber with Dane and several officials who were ready to take part in the action.

"It's already afternoon, how are the families in the city reacting?"

"It's still just a rice store but no food delivery, and it keeps raising the prices of daily necessities."

"Hehe, these people really don't cry when they see the coffin."

Molly's tone was a bit disdainful, and the people on the field didn't seem to care too much. From the perspective of economic warfare, they were at a disadvantage. Maybe they couldn't even be said to be at a disadvantage. They had completely failed, but in this battlefield they He didn't care about winning or losing at all, except in the complicated modern society, how could a person holding a knife lose to a group of businessmen.

Now the noble merchants in these river valleys are dancing so hard that they will be ruthless in the future.

"Everyone, get ready. As soon as the sun goes down, General Dane will lead his men into action. With the Dragon Army and the River Valley Legion, we will capture all the noble castles in Burley City that did not cooperate with the orders of the Lord's Mansion!"

"Yes, my lord!"

This time the dragon army came to prepare for the battle. They brought a lot of siege equipment, and the river valley army also had equipment. It couldn't be easier to knock down the small castles of these nobles.

"Lord Moliel! There are crowds gathering towards the City Lord's Mansion!"

Just as everyone was about to go down to arrange their actions after sunset, a soldier rushed in to report to Molier.

"Are the nobles in Burleigh out of their minds?"

This was the immediate thought of everyone present. There is a flag regiment of 5,000 professional soldiers stationed in the city lord's mansion. There are four giant dragons lying in the courtyard, and tens of thousands of troops are scattered around. Where does this group of people have the burden? Thousands of people wanted to attack the City Lord's Mansion.

"Who is here?"

It was Molly who was the first to realize that the thousands of people who came would definitely not be troops from various families. If they had the guts, they would have resisted from the very beginning. All the key nodes are firmly under control, as long as they are not a group of congenitally retarded people, they will not hit the gun like this.

"They are all civilians from the river valley, and their target should be the granary next to the city lord's mansion."

"Well, what is the use of the little grain in the granary?"

"It is impossible to put grain from the granary even if it is very useful."

"General Dayne!"

"exist!"

"Go and find out, who bewitched these civilians to come to the granary."

"Yes, Lord Molly!"

There is no need to guess about this kind of thing. These civilians are encouraged to come here. If no one keeps the rhythm, how can they gather to cause trouble for the city lord's mansion. Morrill immediately ordered Dane, who was most familiar with the various forces in the valley, to investigate the matter. Dane did not shirk, and immediately agreed. Obviously, he was still very confident in finding out the leader of this incident.

When Molier gave the order to Dane, her whole face was like frost. Molier was obviously a little angry. The actions of this group of people did not seem to her to be a threat, but they really disgusted her.

"Then, Lord Molly, what about those civilians?"

"Let the dragon army set up defenses and send people to persuade them to leave. If anyone refuses to listen to the advice and wants to attack the defense line, they will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Regarding Molier's order, none of the people present felt that there was any problem. Although these civilians were poor people who were being used by others, pity was not the reason for them to storm the granary. Everyone should pay the price for their actions.

Viscount Indre

Representatives of various noble families in Burleigh still sat in the meeting hall of Ander's house to discuss the matter of unified action.

"Hahahaha, thousands of untouchables didn't buy food at the rice store today, and went to the granary of the city lord's mansion to ask for food."

"Hey, how did it turn out?"

"What else can I do? According to the news just now, the Hunter family's army killed and wounded dozens of people and dispersed the untouchables."

"Ham, these untouchables are really useless."

"No, no, it's still useful. At least it put pressure on the Hunter family invisibly, and told them that this small trouble in Burley City will turn into a big trouble sooner or later."

"That's right, it's Viscount Duke who is so powerful, he led those untouchables over with a casual provocation."

"It's not that we are good. Who knew that this group of pariahs could be so stupid that they dared to attack the Hunter's defense line."

"Hahahaha, if they can break through the Hunter's defense line, then we will have to worry about it instead."

Most of the people present didn't regard this as a major event, it was just a joke, and only dozens of people were killed or injured.

Only Rose Andre, who was sitting by the side, twitched his eyes, touched his forehead unnaturally, and even found a trace of sweat when he looked carefully. The action session was somewhat absent-minded.

He has been doing his own calculations in the state of paddling, but today's incident is still shocking. He couldn't help except some cold sweats. He provoked the civilians to attack the city lord's mansion. This was not to put pressure on the Hunter family, it was completely aimed at Those who provoked the other party did a terrible job, and most people didn't know it.

"Lord Ross? What's wrong with you?"

Rose's unnatural appearance was still discovered by others, and now Rose was pale with fright, and seemed to be unwell in people's eyes.

"It's okay, let's discuss today's matters here."

"Tonight is the time for the ultimatum issued by the Hunter family. Do you want to stop discussing it?"

"There's nothing to discuss. Look at the Hunter's family being messed up by these bastards. What's the ultimatum? I guess they have to come to us to negotiate tomorrow."

"Well, the plan is all set, everyone just go back and act, let's go."

At Rose's insistence, the meeting ended early, and when they left, they still talked about what Duke's family did.

"Today only a few thousand people went. What if our family makes a big effort to say that the food is in the city lord's mansion and attracts tens of thousands of people to visit his Hunter's house in another two weeks."

"Hahaha, good idea!"

…

Ander's garden

"Stupid thing the Dukes did."

Ross conveyed what happened just now to the old Viscount Ander who retired behind the scenes, and the old man also made a very simple and clear evaluation of this matter.

"After tonight, I'm afraid there will be no Duke's family, and I don't know how many Burley's twelve families will be left tomorrow."

"No matter what, our Ander family will stand firm."

"There is no family that stands still. I just hope that while I am alive, I don't see the Ander family perish."

"Okay, don't worry about other people, don't hide any more, and transport grain to the rice grain store in a fair manner. Our rice grain store in Ander's family immediately sells grain to the common people in the city at a cheap price."

"Yes, my lord father, I will arrange it immediately."

"Hurry up, the behavior of the Duke's family may have angered the Hunter's family, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Ross walked quickly to the hall to gather the stewards and made arrangements. The stewards were extremely puzzled. But Rose's prestige as the heir to the title is still very high, and these stewards quickly went around to bring orders with confusion.

…

"Hurry up, the rice stores in Ander's house are selling grain!"

The cheap food at Ander's family quickly caused looting. Fortunately, they had expected it and arranged manpower in advance to maintain order.

"Mengji's grain store also has grain, but it's more expensive than Ander's, why don't you arrange it here?"

"The grain shop of Lu Yin's family has also started selling grain!"

The civilians who bought food suddenly became elated. As the sun went down, they had already given up hope, but they suddenly heard a series of good news. It seems that as the sun sets today, Burley City will not be short of food at once. up.

"What's going on! What is the Ander's family doing! And the Luyin's and Mengji's, why are they selling food without permission!"

The Duke family, Viscount Duke, who was still proud of today's operation in the castle, suddenly received a piece of bad news. Three of the Burley's eleven families did not keep their agreement, and even started before the last time agreed by the Hunter family. The grain was sold, which annoyed him greatly.

Viscount Duke strode out of the room, intending to send someone to question him, but he saw the guards outside the castle looking panic-stricken.

"Giant, giant dragon!"
