Chapter 738: 735, Selling Grains_1
“Duke.” Hunter said, lowering his head, “At this point, we only have three thods to deal with the extre winter.”
“Oh? Which three thods?” Duke Gran looked at him straightly.
“The first one is to disband the peasant rebel army.” Hunter’s head was almost parallel to the ground, he dared not raise his head to look at Duke Gran:
“Give the farrs severance pay to send them ho, so that we can ensure enough food for the remaining army to survive the winter.”
Duke Gran’s face imdiately darkened.
Before he had a chance to reprimand, a general under his command stood up and scolded:
...
“Hunter, what kind of stale idea are you giving to the Duke? At least one-third of our achievents are due to the peasant rebels!
If it were not for them serving as cannon fodder, sacrificing themselves to break through Celsus Flas’ (the Emperor of the Fire Nation) poisonous barrier, do you know how many of our soldiers would have died in vain?”
But Hunter looked up at the general, spoke in an unfriendly tone: “I’m just stating facts, don’t ss around here!”
“What? You actually accused of ssing around! Duke, he…”
“Enough.” Duke Gran pressed his hand, calmly said, “I won’t possibly adopt this thod. Even if our remaining army can beat Celsus Flas, sending these peasant soldiers, these rabble-rousers ho will only create instability in the rear… Hunter, introduce the next one.”
“Okay.” Hunter took a deep breath and said seriously: “The second thod is – to get the people from the occupied areas to hand over their winter food supplies.
Although they may starve and freeze to death, they are also making a contribution to the unification of the country.”
Hearing Hunter’s words, the other five generals fell silent, seemingly in agreent with this thod.
Duke Gran also fell into silence, clearly indecisive.
After three minutes of silence, Duke Gran said gravely, “Hunter, what’s the third thod?”
“The third thod is to hoard hay, leaves, and tree bark, and add it to our soldiers’ als during the extre winter.” Hunter answered with difficulty.
“Humph! Would the soldiers be willing to eat?” The general who was looking for quarrels just earlier glared and stood up and said.
Those peasants may be fine, but their main troops were raised in comfort.
Feeding such things to the main army would definitely lead to a mutiny!
But at this ti, Duke Gran suddenly said, “I think this idea isn’t bad.”
“Duke…”
“Let finish.” Duke Gran pressed his hand again, “We can tell our soldiers the reality of our food shortage, this is our last resort.
When the next spring cos, we will rush into the imperial city and empty the granary. I will definitely treat everyone to a feast, to make up for what they lacked in the winter!”
“Since the Duke thinks it’s good… let’s do it then.” The general sighed, “I hope the army won’t mutiny!”
Just as they were speaking, a voice whispered into the ears of Duke Gran and the six generals, “Perhaps there is a fourth way to solve our problem?”
This voice ca from Su Yu, who had been secretly eavesdropping for a long ti.
As for why he understands and speaks the language of the Ice Plane, it’s because he has been here before, and he spent more than a month here in his previous life.
“Who’s there?!”
“There’s an assassin!”
Duke Gran and the seven others were taken aback!
The six generals quickly circled around Duke Gran for protection, and looked around vigilantly.
Who is this person?
Why didn’t they notice their enemy lurking nearby for so long?
“Everyone, don’t panic.” Su Yu canceled [Invisibility Skill], and leisurely walked out from the Void.
He smiled at the seven vigilant faces, “I’m a rchant from another dinsion. I heard you are short on food? I happen to have a large quantity of food here, enough for you to weather through the extre winter!”
While speaking, Su Yu released his powerful aura of level 83.
This powerful aura surged towards the Duke Gran and the seven like enormous waves, leaving them feeling as if a heavy mountain was pressing on their shoulders.
This shocked them so much that it left them with their mouths wide open, totally speechless.
It’s top-level legendary strength! This is absolutely top-level legendary strength!
This kind of strength is definitely in the top 10 in their dinsion! This so-called rchant from another dinsion is incredibly powerful!
The general who loved to find faults suddenly spoke up: “You said you are from another dinsion, do you have any proof?”
Duke Gran was shocked by his audacity, and quickly refuted him:”I’m sorry, this other-worldly powerful man, he had no intention of doubting you! We’ve never done dealings with a visitor from another world before, that’s why he asked.”
“It’s fine.” Su Yu waved his hand generously, smiled and said,” It’s easy to prove that I am from another world. After all, you need food, right? I brought a lot of food from my own dinsion here.”
Su Yu waved his hand, and dozens of corn cobs appeared on the empty ground in front of Duke Gran and the seven others.
The corn cobs were golden and full, but the sight made the seven of them hesitate.
They had never seen anything like this before. Could this thing really be eaten?
It seed like Su Yu could see through their thoughts. He continued to smile and said, “Don’t worry, this is our main food in my dinsion, and since we’re all humans, there’s no great difference in our physical constitutions. You can definitely eat this without any problems.”
At the sa ti, he took out a string of steaming hot grilled corn from his necklace, shaking it at the seven people present: “How about it? Do you want to try?”
The seven people of Duke Gran looked at each other.
First of all, they accepted the identity of Su Yu as a rchant from another dinsion.
After all, his power could be ranked among the top five in their own dinsion. It was totally impossible for them to have overlooked such an influential person, which only left one other possibility: Su Yu ca from another dinsion.
As for the food this rchant was selling, after exchanging glances, the seven n decided to be cautious.
After all, no one had ever eaten crops from another dinsion before. If they ate sothing poisonous, that would be a big problem!
Just then, Hunter suggested, “Duke, we can ask gourt Sandberg to co and try.”
“Sandberg?”
“Yes, he was born with the ability to digest food quickly. We can carefully observe the changes in him after he eats these dinsional grains and analyze whether these grains would pose any poison risk or other dangers to us.”
“Good, let him co and try it. And at all costs, let him co as quickly as possible!” The Duke imdiately ordered.
“Understood!” Hunter promptly responded, glanced at Su Yu, and quickly walked towards the outside of the hall.
The other five generals did not relax their guard and still cautiously arranged their defences, while they contacted their own god-level powerhouses to co over.
Throughout all of this, Su Yu remained calm, standing in his original place with a smile, without making a move.
