"What's going on? Why haven't the surrounding kingdoms of gods sent us the food we need after so long?"
At this time, the city's governor was roaring at the council members sitting below.
I don’t know since when, the kingdoms of God around them who had a good relationship with them actually kept silent and directly cut off their food supply. At the beginning, they didn’t feel anything, but as it continued for a period of time, , they could clearly feel it, and the whole city began to riot.
Because there is no food to eat, many civilians can no longer hold on under such circumstances. After all, there is basically not much food stored in civilian homes, and the only few food stores in the entire city have been directly robbed. , but even so, how can the small amount of grain stock in the grain store feed the more than 40 million people in the entire city?
Even if many of the more than 40 million people belong to gods and believers of gods and do not need to eat, the remaining 30 million or so people need to eat. Under such circumstances, , without food supply, the whole city will lose order just around the corner.
"Your Majesty the Consul, the gods of the Kingdom of God who were friends with us in the past are no longer here."
Facing the gaze of the consul, a congressman stood up and timidly answered his question.
"Oh, he's gone? Was he destroyed or exiled? I can't control that much. Now that they are gone, what do the gods who let others take their place say? It's because there is no production in their kingdom of God. Food? If their Kingdom of God does not produce food, they will contact the Kingdom of God further away and make sure to solve the problem of food shortage in the entire city."
Just looking at these congressmen one by one, the consul couldn't help but feel angry. On weekdays, these congressmen would make money faster than anyone else, but now when there is a problem, they are as silent as quails. Voice.
"Your Majesty the Archon, the beings in the kingdom of God nearby that border our city are unwilling to receive us or provide us with food. We have contacted further places, but the straight-line distance is within five thousand miles. , we can’t contact anyone at all, and our city is now isolated.”
At this time, an old congressman knocked on the table with his cane and replied lightly.
"Why?"
When looking at this person, the consul couldn't help but frowned. Thoughts passed through his mind one by one, and then he looked at these congressmen intently.
In his heart, he just felt that these councilors must be planning something, or else they wanted to increase the price of food in the city and make high profits.
"This matter has nothing to do with us, please don't blame this matter on us!"
At this time, these congressmen seemed to have seen the thoughts of the consul, so they all distanced themselves from this matter.
"Your Majesty the Archon, you have been in seclusion for a long time. You may not know it yet, but now there is a great big man in the area near us. He leads a group of people to bring all the Kingdoms of Gods in the surrounding area. He has cleared it up, and now all the kingdoms of gods bordering us are under his command."
"Oh, could it be that a true divine disciple has come to us?"
After hearing what they said, the consul who had just been called out couldn't help but be confused.
Previously, he had been in seclusion, trying to reach a higher level first. This time it was because of riots in the city, so he came out to take charge of the overall situation despite his busy schedule. But regarding the situation in the city, now He really didn't know what the situation was.
"But if it is really a true temple disciple who occupies our place, this is of course a good thing. If the contact person builds a temple in the city, he must promote his reputation in the city and let a large number of people believe in him."
When talking about this matter, the consul didn't hesitate at all, and all the arrangements went smoothly.
Because they have always done this. If a true god appears nearby, they will naturally arrange for people to build their own temple in the city. This is the respect that a true god-level powerhouse should have.
"People will look down upon you for building a temple in the city."
After hearing what the consul said, a member of Parliament couldn't help but sneered.
The current shortage of food in the entire city is just the most obvious problem, but in fact the shortage is not just this, and all of this was brought about by that one person, which seriously harmed their interests. Under such circumstances, how can we prevent them from feeling resentful?
It's just that the other party is a true god-level powerhouse. Under such circumstances, some mere mortals are unable to refute the decision made by the other party.
"Isn't His Majesty the True Temple dissatisfied with building a temple for him?"
The consul couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the true god's appetite was greater than he thought.
"Then let's get together and give some gifts to His Highness. It can be considered as a congratulation to him."
"Let me tell you directly. The difficulties we are facing now are all caused by that one. He wants to monopolize this city and drive away all the gods. It is precisely because of him that now it has No god dares to make a deal with us."
Looking at the consul who was still confused about the situation, he looked confused. At this time, a congressman directly explained the matter to him.
"This man of the true temple is more powerful than we imagined. He has destroyed all the kingdoms of gods around us without making a sound, and the number of kingdoms of gods destroyed under his hands may be Much bigger than everyone here imagined.
After all, I estimate that he may have killed more than 100,000 members of the Kingdom of God this time, and the purpose was just to surround us. All the people in the nearby area are members of his protective umbrella, so now we The dilemma we face is to either surrender to him, or else we will lack food and clothing, starve to death, and die of thirst! "
"how so?"
After hearing his words, the consul couldn't help but be horrified.
Unexpectedly, the true god-level man's appetite was much greater than he thought, and he actually wanted to swallow their entire city.
"That's the one who made such a decision, and he's already told us that either all of us must believe in him, or else he'll watch us starve to death!"
At this time, the old congressman couldn't help but sigh.
"Our city is a land given by gods, so no gods can fight in this city, but now the true god-level powerhouse, his handiwork is too huge, he wants to use this method They are here to force us to submit, so let’s all talk about what we should do. It’s probably unrealistic to contact other gods to save us now.
After all, the entire nearby area has been completely blocked. Our city is already within their encirclement. But if we don’t surrender to them, there will be no food or drink. Our families will be in this city. If you still have some family wealth, you can hold on for a little longer, but the common people at the bottom are usually worshiped by the gods, and there is no food left in their homes.
You can persist for a short period of time, but as time goes by, the current chaos will not only be chaos, but the entire city will collapse! "
When they heard this old congressman put all the problems in plain sight, the surrounding congressmen who had been deceiving themselves all this time couldn't help but pale.
In normal times, because the gods need their help to spread their beliefs in this city, they usually become the guests of each god. Under such circumstances, in fact, they They look down upon those gods.
Because although the other party is a superior god, he still needs his help, and in this city, they cannot show the majesty of the god at all. Under such circumstances, they do not need to look at the other party's face, but the other party You should look back at your own face and feed them with good food and drink on weekdays.
Because each of them is a local leader in the city, and they all have their own families behind them. Under such circumstances, they can get enough benefits by playing both sides of the gods.
But now here comes a person who doesn't follow the rules and directly overthrows everything to make his own will override the city.
And what no one expected was that this person's handiwork was much greater than they imagined. Because he was worried about encountering opposition from other gods, he directly wiped out all the gods around him.
After all, in the past, because those kingdoms bordered their city, when the umbrella members led by Xu Luo attacked those kingdoms, they actually watched part of them.
And when they saw the kingdoms of gods that were usually aloof from above collapse directly in front of their eyes, these congressmen were also infected to a certain extent. Even in normal times, they saw the number of kingdoms destroyed. There are not a few, but not as many as in this short period of time.
Now that the entire nearby area is blocked, even if they want to notify the gods from farther away, it is estimated that by the time the other party sends people over, most of the people in their city will have starved to death.
"Aren't there still a large number of clones of gods in our city? It is estimated that these clones of gods now know what happened, and they will definitely not sit idly by. After all, this city is related to the spread of their faith. Yes, that one of the true gods wants to annex the entire city directly, which affects their interests, and those gods will not sit idly by and ignore it!"
Although I don't have a thorough understanding of the specific situation now, the reason why this consul is able to achieve this position is of course not only because of his family background, but more importantly, he himself is also very capable.
"The situation you are in now is very serious. You understand what kind of impact this incident will have in the future without me having to tell you. So now let's talk about which His Highness you want to join. Why? Is he offering our faith, or does he have other plans?"
"But now if we don't join His Highness's command and make other plans, what can we do?"
These congressmen looked at each other. Of course, they were unwilling to join the other party and provide him with their own beliefs. However, if they did not provide their beliefs now, the other party would naturally not give up. Under such circumstances, they were also very Difficult.
"Then it seems that I understand what you mean. Everyone, like me, is unwilling to offer their faith to a god, so under such circumstances, I hope you can follow my arrangements. That's the only way , we can hope to get rid of His Highness's control.
After all, our city has been established for 1,200 years, but there has never been a god who can make everyone in our city believe in him. After all, from the original intention of the establishment of this city, the people in our city We have freedom of belief, so no one can force us to submit. "
"What do you want to do?"
When he saw the consul's impassioned speech, the old congressman looked at him with his cloudy eyes. He had seen too many ups and downs in this city. Luoluo, but no matter what, he is not willing to let his family become extinct from his own generation.
"I think each of our families has a certain amount of food reserves for emergency use. Under such circumstances, I hope that everyone can contact various families in the city and bring over the food reserves in their families. Let us get through this difficulty first.”
Seeing that all the members were looking at him, the consul knocked on the table at this time.
"I know this matter makes you very embarrassed, but if we want to stabilize this city, then we must do this as the top priority. We must use food to stabilize everyone in the entire city. These are the only people we A powerful shield. Without these people, I think you also know very well that those gods will not be kind to us when they face us."
"Yes, if we just provide food to stabilize these people, we can do it, but the question is, what if we just stabilize these people? After all, the food stored by each of our families is only a small part. If we supply the entire city, we can’t hold on for too long.”
Regarding this point, these congressmen did not resist too much, but they knew very well that the food stored by their families could only last ten days and a half.
"Now everyone listen to my instructions. First gather the food in each family. In the future, each family must also live frugally and not be extravagant and wasteful. After gathering all the food, we need to give When people in the city go to give porridge, you don’t have to overeat them, but you can’t let people starve to death!”
At this time, this consul finally showed his courage to take charge of a city.
"After stabilizing the city, we need to talk to the clones of the gods hidden in the city. I think you should have your own way of doing this. I need to bring the representatives of the gods hidden in the city. The people gathered together and discussed with them that they need to send soldiers to help us solve this problem. After thinking about it, everyone knows that this is our only way to survive!"
After hearing what he said, everyone suddenly woke up from a dream. In their opinion, as long as they persist in the city for a while and find the gods in the city to come to rescue them, even if they are led by Xu Luo No matter how powerful his protective umbrella is, he cannot withstand the pressure faced by a large number of gods. When the time comes, the dilemma they face will be solved.
"I know that we need to pay a certain price in this process, but compared to losing everything we have now, a small price is always worth it!"
After this matter is done, their families will definitely pay a certain price, so this consul did not hide his secrets at all, but directly put everything on the table, explained it with reason, and took action. Let them know this with love. Although I have paid a certain price, compared with the benefits I have gained, I still made money after all.
If they are reluctant to pay this price, everything they have now will be taken away by others.
After hearing his words, all the gods nodded. Of course they were very clear about this matter, so they didn't resist too much.
Seeing that each of the members supported his decision, the consul finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if some members disagreed with this matter, it would take too much time to convince these people, but now Time is very precious. He needs to arrange everything properly so that he can talk to representatives of other forces and ask them to come to rescue him at a certain price.
Of course, he was very confident about this matter.
After all, although this matter solved their predicament, it was actually beneficial to those gods. After all, if Xu Luo completely occupied the city, these gods would not only lose the power to spread their beliefs. Apart from the place, more importantly, since then they have lost a place where they can communicate with each other.
Under such circumstances, they have to find another place where they can trade, which is not an easy task.
Of course there are other cities in other parts of their area, but the problem is that they have to consider the distance first, and the other is that they are going to a strange place, and they have to get familiar with the territory there before they can feel comfortable having sex with others. Transaction, otherwise I won’t even know if I was cheated by others.
And if Xu Luo truly occupies this city, then the people under the umbrella will have a basic base of their own. With this city as the core, the people under the umbrella will gain rapid strength after occupying this city. Improvement, under such circumstances, their strength continues to improve, and when the time comes to fight with other gods around them, other gods will not be able to defeat them.
Therefore, this city cannot be owned by any one person. This is the consensus of all gods. Under such circumstances, Xu Luo has violated a taboo at this time. Naturally, a large number of gods will gather to attack him.
At this time, the family representatives in these cities were constantly discussing. At the same time, they were secretly convening representatives of various gods to negotiate with each other.
But in his own Kingdom of God, Xu Luo looked at this majestic city and knew that in the near future, this city would directly belong to him. At that time, he would be able to use this city as the core to formulate a protective umbrella. trading system.
It is impossible for them to stay here forever. After capturing this city under such circumstances, they will continue to move further and further away, so by then the people under the umbrella will be getting further and further away from this place. Under such circumstances, this city will just become their transit point. He will leave some people under the umbrella to guard here, while other people under the umbrella will follow him and continue to explore. .
But in the past, the transactions of these umbrella people were basically conducted in the virtual insect swarm network, but in the future, they were able to continuously open storefronts here to communicate with each other. As for getting from here to their Kingdom of God, Xu Luo's starship will naturally be there to transport them.
This is why Xu Luo has been urgently building starships one after another, not only to enhance the combat effectiveness at hand, but also to use these starships for transportation.
At that time, this place will be a transfer station for him. When other gods need something or want to transport something, Xu Luo's starship can arrive at the kingdom of each god and transport them what they need. Earn your own travel expenses from it.
As for whether they would leave directly after defeating the city, others would take it back. Regarding this point, Xu Luo did not care. After all, if the city on hand was If it could be occupied by others, it would be too embarrassing for him to control the umbrella for so many years.
Because wherever the protective umbrella passes, there is no one inhabited, and the city will just hang alone in the void. Under such circumstances, how can anyone come and occupy it?
Just like now, Xu Luo has annexed the kingdoms of gods around this city. Now he uses people under the umbrella to surround the city, but the kingdoms of gods and kingdoms under these umbrellas are surrounded by them. This city is not adjacent to each other, so there is a certain gap between these divine kingdoms and this city, and this hollow is a piece of void.
This is also the reason why people in this city cannot communicate with other gods in the outside world. They are just ordinary people and have no ability to fly in the void.
Of course, Xu Luo did not intend to cut off their communication with the outside world in this way. After all, there were other gods in the city, and it was impossible to cut them off.
Xu Luo simply wanted to keep this city away from other divine kingdoms and let it exist in the void.
From now on, their lives will all be taken care of by the protective umbrella, and the quality of their lives will depend on whether they listen or not.
