YM778.TV Chapter 569: 569
Waves of wheat rumbled and fell from the sky.
It was like a waterfall falling from the God’s Kingdom of Fertility, shining with golden light under the sun, as if the entire city had begun to smell like wheat.
It was life, hope, blessing, and an unprecedented miracle.
Everyone who had their own goals was stunned on the spot.
Because this seemingly endless wave of wheat was pouring down from the mouth of the river in the sky. It was endless, as if it was endless. They stood on the spot, forgetting the purpose of coming out, forgetting the courage to be inspired, even forgetting anger, forgetting hunger. Everyone stood on the spot and watched foolishly…
In the Tidal Manor, Long Niang looked at the pouring wheat waves from the window and clicked her tongue.
However, his heart was filled with emotions.
Although he had expected Kant to have a way to solve the food problem…
However, he did not expect such a violent and shocking scene.
He used the most primitive and powerful method to smash the faces of all the opponents and skeptics.
If she understood Earth’s culture, she might have some kind of emotion.
Kant was a man of ceremony.
She looked at the people in the conference room who were also dumbfounded.
“Do it.”
Everything had been arranged properly.
The commoners who had flocked to the streets and were about to go to the vicinity of Tidal Sound Manor to cry for His Highness ‘mercy were looking up in confusion when they suddenly heard a dragon’s roar from the direction of the manor.
The eight dragons flapped their wings in the wind, and their perfect bodies, which symbolized the strongest race in the world, soared into the sky. They whistled past everyone’s heads, and the sound of horns, magic flutes, and trumpets sounded one after another. It was the sound of war between the Sunset Moon Dynasty, the Arcane Magic Council, and the Holy Empire!
The black robes swept out in layers like a black wave. The rebels swarmed out of the temporary camp near Tidal Manor and spread throughout the city.
The people who came to the street were surrounded in an instant. The sky buzzed, and white magic devices floated in the air. Giant black eyes were aimed at the panicked and frightened people, and a voice that made people respect it rang out.” All citizens of Distant Harbor, stop where you are and accept the interrogation. Show your identification. Pay attention to the unfamiliar faces beside you. There are evil villains among you!”
“Stay where you are!”
“Stay where you are!”
The rebels holding swords and shields roughly separated the crowd. Following Lord Horus ‘instructions, they pulled out the panicked people. Someone waved the metal plate in his hand and shouted,” I have identification! I have proof of identity! Forgive me! I don’t know anything!”
A drone landed near him, and the camera zoomed in.
” The owner of this ID card is called Soracia,” the Transformers said coldly.” He is of medium build and has a short beard. He lives on the second street of the dock area. Do any of you know him?”
“He’s not!” someone exclaimed from the crowd.
“Arrest him!” Horus said,” Stone Fist Squad, find Solacia Geslow in the dock area!”
The three nobodies hiding in the crowd were identified one by one.
It was the same for those who had used various methods to obtain their identification.
These guys with obviously impure motives were arrested on the spot. Those who resisted arrest had yet to draw their weapons or take hostages before they were accurately shot in the head. Whether it was the elven marksmen or the guns carried by the armed drones, they were faster than the apprehenders. The blades and food dispelled all the panic and hostility of the civilians, and the rebels easily suppressed the commotion.
One by one, drones flew into the distance, and the speakers on them made a loud sound.
” Attention, all citizens of Distant Harbor…”
” The grain exchange established by His Highness Kant, which belongs to Sieget Company, will open in an hour…”
” All citizens of the distant port can present their identification. After the Enforcement Union has screened their innocence, they can receive five days ‘worth of food free of charge based on four pounds of dry wheat per person per day. After five days, the grain exchange will resume normal sales at five copper coins per pound. This price will be stable for a long time…”
” Cheer and feel grateful. This is a gift from His Highness Kant. From now on, food at a stable price will be sufficient to supply the entire city and all kind and loyal citizens…”
” Always remember His Highness Kant’s admonition and today’s lesson…”
“Food is for eating…”
At first, it was fear, then confusion. However, after hearing this sentence clearly, the poor people who walked on the streets looked at each other, then cried tears of joy and cheered loudly.
As the drone spread the news, every street was filled with celebration and gratitude.
The forgetful people had consciously forgotten the previous criticisms and complaints.
He began to sincerely thank the omnipotent lord again.
However, as the good news continued to spread, from the outer Urban area to the rich inner circle, the cheers gradually became mixed with noise. There were curses, roars, curses, collapse, and even crying.
The daily energy requirement of an adult, excluding oil, water, and non-staple foods, was calculated purely in terms of food. It would take about four catties of food to meet the daily activity requirements.
Under such circumstances, a family that bought 10 catties of grain was pitiful, a family that bought 100 catties of grain was normal, and a family that bought 1,000 catties of grain could be said to be prepared for danger. What about those who bought 5,000 catties, 10,000 catties, or even more?
It was just a bet. There was no such thing as a guaranteed profit in the world.
“-how did he do it! This was impossible! This is impossible!”
In the eastern courtyard of the Tulip Borough, the calm atmosphere on the elegant stage was gone. Knight Lockseed was breathing heavily, and an unbelievable fury appeared on his face.
He didn’t even dare to look into the eyes of the supervisors.
The heroic words and smugness from before were still ringing in his ears.
However, in the next moment, a roaring golden wave of wheat fell from the sky.
What a great irony.
It was an indescribable humiliation.
This immense sense of humiliation made his soul tremble.
But why?
Where did the food come from?
He was like a red-eyed gambler, shouting, questioning, going crazy, and roaring.
“Who is it? Who was it? Did Grand Duke Goethe open the national granary and let him bring it here to bluff? Was the Phoenix King helping his lover again? Did the Council and the Empire’s spineless cowards bow to Kant?
Where did the food come from?”
” What’s wrong?” His face was ferocious. His elegance and calmness had completely disappeared. Terrifying veins were popping out of his head, and his face was completely red. He muttered to himself like a madman,” What’s wrong?” What went wrong? Our intelligence? Our people? I have clearly locked down all the routes of grain transportation. Everything is clearly under my control. The intelligence clearly shows that the three countries have no intention of taking the initiative to help…”
” The whole world is clearly laughing at Kant…”
“He clearly can’t get food…”
“-enough!” Even though the drunkard’s face was filled with shock and panic, he still felt pleased when he saw the other party like this. He said coldly,” I think your lofty words and aspirations have already come to fruition. Now…”
The next moment, the drone’s broadcast came closer.
Free food distribution.
It would be sold as usual five days later.
Five copper coins for a pound…
Hearing this, Lockster seemed to have grasped the last straw.
“Idiot!” he exclaimed in ecstasy. Foolish! Five? Only five? We still have a chance!
We still have a chance! We still have the funds to buy a large amount of food at this price. We still have a way to eat Kant’s grain reserves! I don’t believe that his food will be endless. I…”
“Dragon!” Ona shouted in panic.
A dragon roar sounded in the sky.
A red dragon swooped down like a heavenly fire, seemingly heading in this direction, towards the oriental garden. Black dots could be seen falling from the dragon’s body, and the brilliance of magic kept shining. Wind magic slowed down the speed of the dragons. They were all Magicians!
The diving dragon continued to lower its altitude, and then threw down the warriors with strong combat qi one by one.
“Not good!”
The Overseers of the Broken Islands had a change in expression as they panicked. Where’s the secret passage?”
However, a gust of wind stirred up turbulence, and the dragon’s might enveloped them. The mage in the lead roared as he descended with a pair of short staffs in his hands. At the corner of the high platform, as the black robes danced, the Spell Casters descended one after another, followed by the warriors who raised their greatswords. They were all fully armed elites, prepared to hunt the big fish.
They were surrounded from all directions.
” Arsett the Whip, the Hound under Lord Kant of the Rebel Society of the Tribunal.”
The Intermediate Mage who controlled Wind and Spirit revealed a cruel smile.
“His Highness has issued an arrest warrant for all of you.” He raised his staff.” Rebel, I will obey your orders.”
“Sinners, fight!”
The hounds followed the order and began a new round of hunting in the city.
Riding on Hummers and armored vehicles, the most elite rebels crossed half of the Far Harbor and arrived at the square in front of the City Hall. The fully armed soldiers lined up at the fastest speed.
He advanced.
The Hall of Justice was filled with panic, despair, and shouts from the nobles. This unexpected and terrifying scene not only meant the complete failure of the plan to manipulate grain prices, but also meant even more terrible consequences.
The hearts of the people were in chaos, and even the wisest leader could not gather this scattered sand.
The next moment, the door was pushed open and a figure walked in.
One by one, the defectors in black robes unsheathed their weapons and filed in. Amidst the screams and shouts, they advanced along the corridor by the wall and surrounded the nobles in the auditorium.
Han Ze was turning a blind eye to all of this. His footsteps were firm and vigorous. He took large strides and faced the gaze of the figure on the stage. Step by step, he walked to the highest power in Distant Harbor.
He walked up step by step, and with every step he took, the noise around him grew softer. He could not help but think of the time he had pushed open this door ten days ago. At that time, he had gone to seek refuge with His Highness Kant and submitted his first declaration of allegiance. He had issued an ultimatum to the nobles here. At that time, there had been endless curses and terrifying threats.
And now, it was here again.
They were already surrounded by armored soldiers.
He was no longer the little Baron of Aurora.
He already had a name in this city.
Han Zezheng walked up to the stage and looked at the Governor with a complicated expression.
” Before I begin, I would like to relay a message from His Highness Kant to the Governor.”
Aurora took out a piece of paper. Even though he had read it several times, he still couldn’t figure out the meaning of this line of words. He knew these words, but he couldn’t understand them when he read them together.
However, since it was His Highness’s order, he would carry it out.
Han Zezheng looked at the governor and said sternly,”Oil!” Ah! Foald!”
– Huh?
Norman had already prepared for the worst and was ready to suffer the coldest punishment and ridicule, but this sentence stunned him. What language?
After Han Zezheng finished reading, he didn’t stop. He put away the note and took out a parchment scroll from his chest. He shook it open, and the scroll rolled down. The people of Aurora stepped forward unceremoniously and pushed the governor in front of the stage to the side. They looked around at the terrified dignitaries.
” Next, I will read out His Highness Kant’s decree!”
” We suspect that Norman, Governor of Green Wave Province, colluded with the local dignitaries to manipulate grain prices and create panic during the famine in the distant port. He gained huge benefits for his family and individuals, causing innocent people to starve and social order to be unstable. He colluded with foreign forces and harmed the interests of Goethe’s country. We have decided to suspend all your duties and accept interrogation, investigation, and judgment!”
” In addition, the nobles of Distant Harbor have done a disgusting thing in this incident. As nobles, they harmed the commoners for their own selfish reasons, causing the situation to become so bad. It’s disgusting. The administrative bureaucrats are rotten to the core, and the administrative system is completely inefficient. They’re so incompetent that corruption is rampant. For the sake of the people, His Highness Kant has temporarily taken over all military, administrative, and economic powers in the city. He’s also taking over the role of Distant Harbor’s disciplinary officer to clean up the situation…”
” Anyone suspected of committing a crime, regardless of identity or position, will be punished!”
Hearing this, the nobles could not hold it in any longer. Abolishing the governor and announcing a one-sided regime, who do you think you are? Archduke Goethe? The human emperor?
Even Forbidden Mages had no right to do so!
Someone wanted to protest loudly, but in the next moment, the murderous aura of swords and sabers came from behind. The gloomy and cold air pressure enveloped his body, reminding him of the fear of death.
The so-called traitors behind the scenes were the three navies.
They did not care about the life and death of the Goethe nobles.
Han Zezheng looked around coldly. No one dared to look him in the eye.
“Everyone, compared to the so-called honor and rules, it’s better to care about your family business, ancestral property, wealth, and children. Let’s clean up the snow in front of your own door first!”
He looked at the scroll and continued reading.
This was an ultimatum, not a suggestion.
“Next, I will read out many instructions for the faraway port administration…”
” Firstly, regulate the trading of bulk commodities. From now on, all bulk transactions, including grain, cloth, meat, drinks, and building materials, should be carried out under the supervision of the new government of Far Harbor!
” Secondly, due to the grain price incident, it is obvious that there is the involvement of funds from external hostile forces. Before this matter is investigated, all lending, borrowing, and mortgage activities will be suspended. If you knowingly violate the law, all lending activities will be illegal, and all the money involved will be confiscated!”
” Thirdly, all the profits you earn from buying and selling in the grain market should be paid immediately. The newly established tax bureau will assist you in reporting and paying taxes!”
“Fourth…”
Panic, questions, and screams rang out continuously. Some nobles had already fainted.
Blue Wave Province, Stream Willow County. This was the temporary base of the Dragon Clan’s Defense and Credits Department.
What happened in the Far Harbor had been reported to Golden Dragon Steger through Lily’s Dragon Song, and then Golden Dragon passed the news to Santos.
Before this, the Dragon Clan’s intelligence officer in Faraway Harbor City had already reported this matter.
The news was confirmed.
A terrifying amount of golden wheat surged out of the Realm Gate and piled up into a huge mountain outside Tidal Manor. Such a spectacle had never happened before.
Anyway…
Kant won again.”
Golden Dragon and Santos looked at each other.
Even the dragon clan had never heard of such a thing.
“He…”
“How did he do it?” Steger asked bitterly. We’ve already checked…”
The Dragon Tribe’s intelligence network was unrivalled in the world. They were well-informed, so they did not observe any movement of grain. They also did not hear of any country that had decided to borrow grain from Kant. There was nothing.
“Where did you get so much food?” Golden Dragon lowered his voice.
Santos was silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled and looked at his secretary.
“Is that important?”
he said calmly.
“Of course it’s important!” The golden dragon subconsciously looked around and then lowered his voice.” A person of unknown origin who suddenly appeared and used powers, alchemical techniques, and even spells that are unheard of. Powerful alchemical weapons can be said to be the pinnacle of magical skills, but at least 100,000 tons of grain can’t be conjured out of thin air. Where is his grain field? Or rather…”
Santos shook his head slowly.” No, you are wrong.”
“Where?” Steger asked, puzzled.
The chief marketing officer of Dragon Defense patted his partner.” You’re all wrong. It’s not up to you to decide whether this matter is important or not.”
“.. Who is that?”
” Him, Kant.”
Santos’s eyes flashed with a complicated light. It could be envy, or it could be sadness.
He had never heard of or seen such a person.
“Kant has the final say…If he wants to say it, then this matter is very, very important. If he doesn’t want to say it…” The human said softly,” Then this matter is not important at all.”
Because he could decide for himself whether this secret was a secret or not.
How enviable.
The Golden Dragon was also silent.
It was not used to the fact that a mere human could be so diabolical.
“Alright, we need to get to work.”
Santos signaled his secretary to prepare to activate Long Yao.
“Three orders.”
” First, all salespeople, stop all lending immediately.”
” Second, hand over all the names of the suspects that we have collected over the past few days to the members of the Society for Rebellion that have been sent to various places. The giant dragons that are stationed in each target city will transform into human forms and disguise themselves as human mercenaries to assist the Tribunal in the arrest and search!
“Third…”
Santos paused for a moment.” Send this message to the board of directors and request the financial settlement department to prepare to send troops. We will soon have a debt collection service.”
