King

Suddenly, Bear Stearns rolled his eyes, kicked off his legs and rushed out.

Hudson, who was caught off guard, would have been thrown out if he hadn't caught the bear's fur in time.

If the car rolls over at such a speed, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.

He was crippled by his own mount, and those who didn't know it thought he had used despicable means to force the monster to sign a contract, which caused a backlash.

Don't bother settling the score with Bear Stearns. The fierce friction with the air forced Hudson to deal with it carefully.

Fortunately, he was still a magician and added a magic shield to himself in time.

The charging speed is too fast, far exceeding the locust's falling speed. If Hudson had reacted slower, close contact with locusts would have been inevitable.

Unlike our own bears, which have rough skin and thick flesh, they have no feeling for these little ones. His little face came into close contact with locusts, and the consequences were simply unimaginable.

A distance of several miles, the destination was reached in an instant, the speed of the bear was simply flying.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with flying. Except for the four-leg kick in the initial stage, Bear Stearns' short legs basically never came into contact with the ground.

It even broke several large bare trees along the way, and the outstretched branches of the trees almost broke through Hudson's magic shield.

When it comes to tricking masters, this guy is definitely a professional.

There is no need to deliberately target it, just instinctive habits can trick people to death.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the people in Aslant continent who own Warcraft mounts are all strong. A guy with weak strength simply cannot bear the talent attributes of his own Warcraft that can trick his teammates.

Before Hudson could adapt to the fast "Bear", Bear Stearns suddenly changed direction and headed straight to the left. The thrilling sharp turn made him almost vomit on the spot.

I didn't get car-sick before crossing, but I didn't expect that after crossing, I would get "bear-sick" because the horse was too fast, which made Hudson very angry.

If it weren't for the sight in front of him, he could vaguely see a huge locust running away in a hurry. He would have to...

never mind!

The situation is not right now. We are on the back of a bear, so we can't speak forcefully.

As expected, after experiencing the high-speed "bear" and sharp turns, he was greeted by another sudden brake.

The huge force of inertia allowed Hudson to firmly grasp the bear's fur and press his body against the bear's back.

Before he understood what was going on, Bear Stearns lifted the stunned Insect King into the bear's paws and showed off his achievements to him.

From the beginning to the end, with just one slap, the arrogant insect king jumped straight into the street.

At this moment, Hudson suddenly understood why there had never been a locust plague in the Warcraft Mountains.

It was so easy for a minor Earth Bear to take care of the Insect King. There are countless high-level monsters in the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range, and even the number of insect kings and insect emperors is not enough for them to kill.

If an army of locusts really swept through the gathering place of Warcraft, they would be giving people extra food.

The locust army is poisonous, but it is only for ordinary people. With the physical quality of Warcraft, he probably wouldn't even be able to feel the poison.

"Bear Stearns, what are you doing?

Why don't you remind me?

Do you know how dangerous it was just now, just..."

Before Hudson could finish speaking, the cub imitated his usual tone and replied: "Calm down!

Such a trivial matter is so trivial, how can it become a big deal?

I can't bear the slightest pain, but I still have the nerve to complain here. I'm just losing face.

You have such a thick skin when it comes to danger. From beginning to end, you were watching the show.

Others are fighting together with Warcraft. You are just following me to take credit, and you have to ask me to protect you along the way. It is really a piece of rotten wood that cannot be cultivated.

If it weren't for taking care of you, I would have called it a day.

Forget it, it would be bad luck for me to meet you as my fighting partner.

if only……"

After being slapped first by a bear and rendered speechless, Hudson began to doubt his life.

Isn't this idiot sleeping all the time? Why did he secretly learn all these tricks?

Reason told him that he must avoid this guy when dealing with official business in the future.

Otherwise, God knows what will happen in the future.

"That's enough, Bear Stearns! You did it on purpose!

The Earth Bear clan has always been known for being honest and honest. How could you, a rogue bear, appear? "

Hudson said angrily.

It is still a bit far-fetched to say that what happened just now was done intentionally by the cub. If you really want to trick him, just a magic shield won't do the trick.

It's just that looking at this guy's arrogance, Hudson is full of anger. Looking at his master's joke, it's just...

Forget it, don’t worry so much about a bear.

The main reason was that there was no way to calculate. After throwing the Insect King to Hudson, Bear Stearns once again aimed at a new target.

As a Bear Rider, Hudson was broken inside. The Earth Bear at full power is so fast, it's like driving a supersonic motorcycle and racing like crazy. It feels like it's going to the sky.

Fortunately, this time the cub had experience and knew to bless him with the magic of the Earth Guardian before taking action.

It's finally stable. Without having to worry about being thrown out at any time, or worrying about vomiting as a "bear" too quickly, Hudson finally had an idea to play - "Bear Racing".

Among hundreds of millions of locusts, it feels like a thrill to be in an insect-free environment. The soaring speed made Hudson's adaptability sublime.

One person and one bear were having fun, and they kept shuttling among the swarms of insects, giving everyone a bad start. Soon everyone followed suit and didn't even care about the defense zone.

Seeing the powerful men struggling among the locust army, Count Pierce's heart collapsed. They are all a group of uncles, and he, as a governor, doesn’t have enough face.

Gradually, he discovered that something was wrong. The locust army was in pieces and pieces after being attacked by a group of strong men. Although it was constantly disintegrating, its ultimate target was still the southeastern province.

Before that, the locust army gathered together, and they only had to block the army's way.

Now the locust army is scattered, and the scope of its activities is constantly expanding; the number of locusts breaking out from weak areas is also increasing.

"Someone used their hands and feet to deliberately lure locusts to the southeastern province!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Count Pierce couldn't get rid of it. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough this time, and in the shortest time, he invited all the strong men in the province who could be brought out.

If we follow the example of our neighbors next door and wait until the locusts become infested, and then organize experts to hunt and kill the locusts, that will be the end of the world.

It’s just that I don’t know which force my family has offended, so I want to cause trouble for the Dalton family at all costs.

The medicine that lures locusts is not cheap. The continuous influx of such a large army of locusts is purely using gold coins to pave the way for the locusts.

Taking the blame spontaneously is not because Count Pierce is brainless. It is precisely because he is so smart that he came to this conclusion.

Although there are many nobles, big and small, in the southeastern province, the only one who is qualified to offend a major force and leave the other party helpless is the Dalton family.

It's useless to know, the size of the locust army is simply too great. Being able to get rid of the Insect King requires all your efforts. It is almost impossible to kill all the locusts.

…

In the mountainous areas, preparations to fight the locust plague are being carried out in an orderly manner. All the food that could be harvested was harvested in advance. There is really no success in the rest, so we can only bear the locust plague.

Tens of thousands of people prepared for war together without any panic. We have to admit the importance of talent.

If things like this had happened before, if Mr. Hudson had not been here, the territory would have been in chaos.

There is nothing new in the method, it is all artificial capture + smoky. The high-end locust-killing method within the magic potion is not something that the Mountain Territory can master yet.

The conditions of nearby territories are generally similar. All the lords are working hard to prepare for war, although most people know that these primitive methods are not very effective.

But the work to combat the locust plague still needs to be carried out. It doesn't matter how many locusts are killed. The key is to maintain a good posture and enhance the confidence of the people.

The more severe the disaster, the more necessary it is to appease the people. Cult organizations lurking in various places have long been unwilling to be lonely, waiting for an opportunity to launch.

Wright and Wyton counties, which had suffered so much from the war, were in pretty good shape this time. Everything was cleaned up from top to bottom, and all cult organizations, big and small, were basically destroyed in the last crisis.

Apart from the uneven ability of some of the nobles who rule the two counties to inherit the family business, most of the lords are not lacking in means.

In Luoye Town, he went to the Governor's Palace to sign up to fight against the locust plague, but was persuaded to quit by his uncle on the grounds that he was too weak, which made Baron Caillot very embarrassed.

Fortunately, not many people knew about this matter, and Baron Caillaux was able to block the news in time, otherwise it would be embarrassing if it spread out.

"Lack of strength", this evaluation is too hurtful. I originally thought that my strength was pretty good among the younger generation, but the reality was very disappointing.

It can only be said that talent cannot be forced. Even if a large amount of resources are spent, Baron Cayo can only catch up with the ordinary level.

I have been holding back my anger for a long time, so I naturally need to find a place to vent it. Baron Caillot naturally focused on his neighbor.

“Young Master, this locust plague is coming with great force. According to the news from the Governor’s Mansion, it is inevitable that it will spread to the province.

According to the existing data, even if we don’t need to do anything, the locust plague will spread to Wyton and Wright counties.

If chemicals are released, the disaster will undoubtedly become more serious. If we only put medicine into a few of their territories, it is very likely that someone will see the problem.

If there are any clues about this kind of thing, we may be suspected. On the contrary, if the slightest flaw is revealed, it will be a fatal blow to your reputation.

Otherwise, if we put things in adjacent areas, we can still achieve the same effect, and no one will suspect us. "

The old housekeeper persuaded hard.

Deep down, he was opposed to doing this. Although these potions were prepared by Baron Caillot himself, not many people knew about them. But there is no airtight wall in this world.

Once the news leaks out, all the nobles in the province may remember the locust plague on his head. If things develop to that point, not even the Dalton family can protect it.

"Don't worry, Uncle Fu. I'm not that stupid. This kind of thing naturally requires someone to take the blame.

The harvesting work in the territory has ended, and I can afford it even if all the rest is lost.

Simply use a trick to temporarily aggrieve the local nobles and give the pot to the northern nobles.

With the power of these medicines, no matter where they are placed, disasters will occur for hundreds of miles around, and no one can escape.

If it weren't for an unexpected harvest, I wouldn't be able to prepare it. This is the best opportunity. Once it is missed, it will be difficult to control the two counties. "

Baron Caillot said coldly.

Being cruel to others is nothing, the key is to be cruel to yourself. Even his own territory was not spared. If it was said that he was the poisoner, no one would believe it if word got out.

…

Dadir City, with the news of the locust plague, this city that had just restored some prosperity fell into depression again.

The grain stores controlled by the Lord's Mansion have begun to supply limited quantities per person per day, and prices have soared to the sky.

The high cost of living has forced countless businessmen to choose to move. Baron Sith was also very helpless. What he bought was high-priced grain, and there was no room for price reduction.

The most important thing is that after the disaster came, the nearby noble lords tightened their belts and suspended all unnecessary expenses.

All kinds of entertainment venues are closed. All kinds of luxury goods and optional consumer goods also lost their market overnight.

The best-selling commodities now are grain and cloth, followed by salt. Iron products and agricultural tools are also available for sale. For other non-essential commodities, there are more sellers than buyers.

It's not a big deal if you don't make money. The key is that you still have to lose money if you open the door. Businessmen are best at tending to the pros and cons. After assessing the risk resistance capabilities of the local noble lords, they quickly came to the conclusion that the worst was worse.

If we don't leave while order is still there, when the locust plague sweeps over, the food shortage breaks out, and "bandits and bandits" are everywhere, we won't be able to escape even if we want to.

Everyone is worried that if life really gets difficult, the Sith master who seems kind now will be the first to raise a butcher's knife against them.

Prejudice is so serious. Even if the Sith Baron has always done a good job, everyone's prejudice against the Northland nobles has long been formed.

After casually squeezing a flying grasshopper to death, Baron Sith asked rather unwillingly: "Faerun, do you think this locust plague is really unavoidable?"

No one is willing to give up on the results of painstaking efforts, but in the face of natural disasters, the manpower is too slim.

"Master, these scattered grasshoppers are not a threat now. But once these inconspicuous little things gather into an army, it will be the most terrifying disaster.

What is even more worrying is that there are man-made signs behind this locust plague. This makes it more difficult to contain the disaster.

Everyone is preparing for the worst, and some territories have begun to deliberately reduce the number of orc slaves to reduce food consumption.

The mountain territory that you are most concerned about is now catching grasshoppers in large quantities in the territory, drying them and storing them. It is said to be for feeding livestock, but I think it is mostly prepared for orcs.

Once the locust plague strikes, due to the pressure of food, the mountain baron may only be able to artificially reduce the number of orc slaves.

Almost all lords issued orders prohibiting marriage and sexual intercourse between male and female serfs. These are all preparations in advance for the possible food shortage that may come next.

The local nobles reacted so fiercely, let alone us outsiders. Several nearby provinces have also suffered from locust plagues, making it impossible to purchase food from the outside world.

Now that things have reached this point, we have to prepare for the worst. If the merchants want to leave, let them go, which will reduce some food consumption.

Leave a little bit of incense behind, and then invite them back after the disaster has passed. With this wave of experience, their confidence in the territory will be enhanced in the future. "

Butler Phelan tried his best to persuade.

In the year of great disaster, increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

But the premise is that there must be enough food reserves. It's a pity that Dadir's reserves are seriously insufficient.

Even if all these tasks are done. It will still be difficult to survive until next spring.

In order to increase food reserves, countless nobles organized manpower to hunt in the mountains and forests. All kinds of wild animals have also been decimated this time.

Incorporating wild vegetables into food reserves can only be considered a routine operation. Some kind of calculating lord, even the bark and grass roots were calculated.

"Gradually reduce the number of slaves and make their reduction as normal as possible, so as not to spread the word and affect the reputation.

Everything that can be sold inside is sold. Including those dancers, get rid of them all while they are still worth some money.

From now on, the ration supply for all the residents who are not working will be cut by another 20%. Just keep the most basic survival supplies and that’s it.

We mobilize all the connections we have secretly managed to purchase as much food as possible.

Send people to pay attention to the movements of big grain merchants, and make a business without capital if there is an opportunity. At this point, there is no need to pretend anymore. "

The Sith Baron said expressionlessly.

It was as if he didn't care at all about the dire consequences this order might have.

"Yes, Master!"

The old housekeeper replied without any hint of admonishment. Indifference, determination, ruthlessness... are also excellent qualities of aristocrats.

If you want to do better in this highly competitive world, you must abandon all the Holy Spirit and face this cruel world with the most rational mentality.

…

In Qiaomu County, the nobles who successfully blocked the locust army were not happy. Instead, they worry about the endless army of locusts.

After all, human power has its limits, and the strong will also get tired. The top experts who had been fighting hard at the beginning were now replaced.

Just after returning to the camp, Hudson became the most eye-catching kid again. For no other reason, he was covered with insect kings all over his body.

He single-handedly defeated five insect kings and captured them all alive. This achievement almost matched the total of everyone else.

It can only be said that the temptation of animal milk and honey is too great. If it weren't for Hudson's pull, Bear Stearns wouldn't want to come back now.

Bears can bear it, but people can't. After struggling for so long, Hudson was almost falling apart and had to force Bear Stearns to stop the work.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is difficult to catch the Insect King at this time. Even those who slipped through the net stayed far away.

A smart creature would not die foolishly even though it knew there was danger ahead.

The locust army that originally gathered into one force is now dispersed into several groups, which is the best proof.

Although gathering together is beneficial to their promotion, in the face of life, life is still more important.

"The target of the locusts is very clear, which is our southeastern province. Even if they are forced to take a detour, they have no destination. Now it can be confirmed that someone has dropped locust lures in the southeastern province.

Fortunately, you all took action and dispersed the locust army. This eliminates the possibility of the Insect King being born, otherwise this disaster will really get out of control.

Who the thief is is currently unknown. We can only keep this account in mind for now, and then settle it with them when it is clear in the future.

Next, I can only ask you to continue your efforts and get rid of all the remaining insect kings. The Kingdom will never forget everyone’s achievements. "

It can be seen that Earl Pierce is really tired. Even everyday polite words are omitted.

Hudson felt that this was also related to the fact that everyone present was not easy to fool.

It is easy to draw a big pie, but difficult to realize it. It just so happens that these strong men are easy to admit death. If they dare to speak without keeping their words, they will dare to slap the Governor's sap.

Instead of playing tricks and looking for trouble, it is better to be more sincere and gain everyone's favor more easily.
