Zhao Hai and the others were extremely busy here, and it was almost the same in the Ika Plain. The Versail family’s first pest control team did not achieve the results they imagined. On the contrary, when they arrived there, they immediately became like a family.
Rescue came, and this time it was even more serious than the last time.
At this time, the people of the Versailles family finally knew the seriousness of the matter. While they asked for help from Casa City, they organized all the forces in the Bullrunning Castle. The family elder who was sitting here, Sylvan Saill,
Er led them straight to the east of the Ika Plain.
Although Zhao Hai and Green released insects on more than 10,000 acres of land this time, generally speaking, these insects are still here in the east of the Ika Plain, so this time all the strength of the Versail family has been sent.
When I got here, I wanted to eliminate these bugs in the shortest possible time.
But when these people arrived at the place where the insect plague occurred, they discovered that the matter was beyond their imagination. Just as they arrived, thousands more acres of wheat fields were infested with insect pests. This did not include the isolation they had built before.
The belt failed to stop those bugs.
There were too many of those bugs, and their ability to reproduce was too strong, and their military strength was not enough. The isolation zone only played a little role, but it was quickly broken through by those bugs.
It is simply impossible for five magicians to hold more than 10,000 acres of land, even if they add the army and those slaves. By the time the reinforcements from the Versailles family arrive, they are already preparing the third isolation belt.
Yes, this isolation belt is wider and longer, but now it seems that it doesn't have much effect.
In fact, they don't know that those bugs are not capable of reproducing at all. It's just that they didn't reach the time specified by the space to die, so they didn't die.
Space is a mutated existence. They are an independent world belonging to Zhao Hai. The laws of the world there are different from those here on Ark Continent. There is no way to change the things prescribed in space here on Ark Continent, so those bugs seem to have been killed.
, in fact, it appeared on another wheat seedling in the blink of an eye, but there were too many bugs, so people thought that their reproductive ability was particularly strong.
Another deceptive feature of those bugs is that after they are killed once, when they appear on another wheat seedling, they will become very small, as if they were just born bugs, and then appear on another wheat seedling.
After eating the wheat seedlings, it slowly grew bigger, which made the Versailles family believe that this was a natural insect plague, but the reproductive ability of this insect was really too strong.
The Versailles family didn't know that if they didn't kill the bugs and just let them gnaw on them, if they just built an isolation zone, they might be able to survive for a while. After all, those bugs don't crawl very fast and are ten meters long.
The isolation belt is enough for them to climb up for half a day.
But it was terrible if they killed them like this. As soon as they killed them here, the bugs there reborn, and they reborn in the intact wheat fields behind the isolation zone. They had done a favor to these bugs.
This time, the reinforcements organized by the Versailles family were not only the five thousand Bullrunning Guards, but also all the Versailles family members who lived at Bullrunning Fort. They were organized to support this place.
There are nearly 50,000 people living in Bull Run. Most of them are members of the Versailles family, and some of them are domestic servants. They are responsible for the maintenance, cleaning, etc. of Bull Run.
, and some are the family members of the Running Bull Guards. These people also live here. It can be said that these people, like the slaves, are considered the private property of the Versailles family. The situation is critical now, so they have also been organized.
In this way, the number of 50,000 people in Benniu Fort was reduced to less than 5,000, with only some people from other chambers of commerce left. Benniu Fort only had some gatekeepers, as well as the old and weak left.
Except for those who could not move, everyone moved out en masse.
Of course, such a big news about the Versailles family cannot be hidden from the people of the big chamber of commerce. The purpose of these people setting up a business here is to monitor every move of the Versailles family and to spy on the secrets of the Versailles family.
It is precisely because of this that these people have established certain connections with some internal members of the Versailles family. When Nate came to deliver the letter for the first time, the people in the business firm felt that something was extraordinary. After their
After asking around, I finally learned that an insect plague had occurred on the east side of the Ika Plain.
Originally, the people in these trading houses didn't pay much attention to it. It's not like there have been insect plagues here in the Ika Plain. The Versailles family was already very confident in dealing with the insect plague and nothing major would happen.
But then things worsened, and the Versailles family actually staged such a huge battle, almost all the people in the Bullrunning Castle were mobilized. Only then did the people in the trading house realize that the matter was not as simple as they thought.
But at this time, it was impossible for them to inquire about the news, because the people of the Versailles family who were in contact with them had all gone to the Ika Plain to exterminate pests. Even if they wanted to inquire, they could not find anyone.
But the people in these trading houses are still businessmen after all, and they immediately sniffed out business opportunities from this matter! It was an insect plague, and it looked like a large-scale insect plague. The occurrence of such an insect plague in this kind of grain-producing area means that
What? It means there is a food shortage and food prices are going to rise!
Business opportunity, big business opportunity!
For businessmen, business opportunities are the most important, and disasters are not within their scope of consideration, so the shops outside Benniu Castle immediately spread the news to the major business families, including
A person from Majidel Trading Company, and this person is Laura’s subordinate.
Magidel Trading Company has already trained wind falcons, and here in Casa City, almost all the wind falcons are fed by Nier. I don’t know why, Nier naturally likes to raise wind falcons, and wind falcons are also very fond of raising them.
She liked Ni'er, so in the end Laura simply gave the job of raising the wind falcon to Ni'er.
Ni'er has been very happy recently, because Laura is very happy recently. If Laura is happy, she is happy. Her life is so simple.
Nier is currently feeding the wind falcons. Wind falcons eat meat. Although they are not very picky eaters, they still need to eat fresh meat. Laura has more than two hundred adult wind falcons in her hands.
There are also more than a hundred little wind falcons, and they eat a lot every day.
If an average person has so many falcons, they would need at least dozens of people to take care of them. The falcon is a kind of raptor. Even if it is trained, you must be careful when feeding it, otherwise it will be easily injured.
But Ni'er doesn't have to, she just needs to bring the beef to the house where the wind falcons are raised, and the wind falcons will eat it by themselves, without her having to do anything. Sometimes she will also bring some live food to the wind falcons.
, let the wind falcon catch its prey by itself, so the wind falcon in Laura's hand is more handsome and wild than ordinary people's wind falcon.
Ni'er had just finished feeding the wind falcon and was humming a tune. Suddenly there was an eagle cry from the space, and then a black shadow shot straight down and fell on Ni'er's shoulder. Ni'er was stunned for a moment and glanced at the wind falcon.
He recognized at a glance that this was the one he had raised. When he looked at Feng Falcon's legs, he suddenly saw a letter.
Ni'er immediately took down the letter, touched Feng Falcon's back and said, "Xiao Shisan, thank you for your hard work. Go inside and eat quickly, or your brothers will eat them all in a while." Ni'er gave everyone
Each wind falcon is numbered, but without any markings. Only she can recognize the number at a glance. This is also a special ability of hers.
The falcon rubbed its mouth on Ni'er's face a few times, then flew into the house and went to eat, while Ni'er took the letter and walked to the study.
Laura is looking at the account book in the study. The radishes she brought back from Zhao Hai are selling like hotcakes these days. People now know that Bian'an Flower Shop sells a kind of magic radish called radish, which contains a lot of magic elements.
Some civilians with children in school will come to buy some, and even some mercenaries will come to buy some.
It was precisely because of the turnip that the turnover of the entire Biangan flower shop increased significantly, which made Laura very happy.
At this moment, Nier came over and said to Laura: "Miss, I just brought back a letter on the 13th. It may be that there is something going on at the Bull Run." After saying that, she put the letter in front of Laura.
Laura was stunned. She took the letter and looked at it. Sure enough, it was sent back by the spy from the Bull Run. She immediately opened the letter and read it carefully. After taking a few glances, Laura's expression changed.
Nier said: "Nier, go and call Grandpa Kunzheng here, quickly."
Although Nier didn't know why Laura was so excited, she still responded immediately and ran out. After a while, Kun Zheng came. When he saw Laura spinning around in the study room, Kun Zheng was stunned. He had been growing up since childhood.
Watching Laura grow up, something big must have happened when Laura behaved like this. He immediately said: "Laura, what's wrong? What happened?"
When Laura saw Kunzheng coming, she immediately said: "Grandpa Kunzheng, there is a large-scale insect disaster in the Ika Plain. The food production may be reduced today." As she spoke, she gave Kunzheng the letter in her hand.
When Kun Zheng heard what Laura said, his expression changed. He immediately took the letter and read it carefully. Sure enough, the letter not only mentioned the insect plague that occurred in the Ika Plain, but also the reaction of the Versailles family.
It was written on it. When he saw this, Kun Zheng immediately understood that there might be big trouble in the Ika Plain this time.
After reading the letter carefully twice, Kun Zheng put it down, looked up at Laura and said, "Laura, what do you think?"
Laura's face straightened and she said: "This is an opportunity. The Ika Plain is the granary of the Principality of Versailles. If there is a problem there, the price of food in the Principality of Versailles will definitely rise. If we can use the opportunity to hoard a large amount of grain
, we will definitely make a lot of money, I think it’s best for us to start stocking up on food quietly now.”
Kun Zheng nodded, but before he spoke, a clear voice suddenly came: "No, Laura, how can you do this?"
