958. stalemate

 At dusk in Takarai Town, several dark gray countercurrents of time and space appeared in the orange sky.

The Ganbu plane is like a piece of broken tiles floating in the sea of ​​​​stars. This plane is so small. According to the map of the Ganbu plane, there are only two Bena provinces here, and the Ganbu plane

It is long and narrow from north to south, narrow from east to west, low in the south and high in the north.

There are no indigenous people in the Ganbu plane. All residents on the plane are immigrants from the Bena province, and these immigrants mainly come from the Tarapagan area.

During the period when the Ganbu plane was first discovered, countless landless Tarapagan people poured into the Ganbu plane.

Although this place is close to the countercurrent of time and space, it is a land rich in water and grass. The biggest specialty of this place is the several oil and stone mines on the plane of origin. There is a dry cloth plane 20 kilometers east of Hatangada Town.

The largest oil stone mine is owned by the McDonnell family.

Small reserves of lapis lazuli and turquoise mines have also been discovered in other places. The name 'Takale' is a homophony of 'turquoise' in the Green Empire language. However, due to over-exploitation in recent decades, the

Turquoise veins have penetrated deep into the ground, mining costs have increased significantly, but output has been decreasing year by year.

Even so, the Ganbu plane with a pleasant climate is still the first choice for young people in Tarapagan to start their own business.

Now the town of Takarai is shrouded in flames of war...



Surdak walked out of the Void Gate and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his hands...

The smell of burning pine smoke floated over the town of Takalé, and several houses in the town were on fire.

On the street outside the house, a group of lord's private troops passed by quickly. The scraping of soldiers and footsteps made people feel a little restless. Several stragglers from the security brigade were catching strong men on the street, and some young and strong townspeople were forced to join.

The improvised army was escorted to the frontline battlefield unarmed.

After a burst of noise and crying, only a few women, old people and children were left on the street. They didn't even know where they should go.

Many people were sitting tiredly on the street. Some people regretted that they should not have believed the news. They ran across the battlefield from Nancheng District to the quilt. They thought that the nobles here would break through the blockade and leave the town. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by people here.

Captured the strong man.

Some people hate the rebels who destroyed the town of Takalé.

Some people hate the town's security forces, feeling that they usually wear black iron armor, but when a war actually breaks out, they are not only incompetent, but also take ordinary townspeople to the battlefield and use them as cannon fodder.

Others just squatted there silently, holding their children and crying helplessly.

Some people even fell asleep on the grass when they were tired from crying.

There was no food stored in the house that Magician Aved had just bought.

Surdak went to the market yesterday morning and bought only enough food to feed the two-headed ogre. Today Surdak returned to Wall Village and happened to bring back some vegetables and frozen meat.

Baked wheat cakes.

There will be no shortage of supplies for the time being.

Everyone gathered on the villa terrace for dinner, and Suldak prepared some barbecue, vegetable soup and baked wheat cakes.

The sky had darkened, and there were no lights in the yard. Gulitm sat in front of the barbecue with great concentration, staring at the sizzling and oily meat skewers. The smoke drifted far away along with the aroma of barbecue.

Samira sat on the stone railing of the terrace, holding an apple in her hand and taking a bite silently.

Avide was lying next to the balcony railing and peeked at Siya who was lying in the swimming pool reading a book. There was a lantern next to Siya, and the surrounding area seemed very dim. The light from the lantern dyed her beautiful face.

Add a touch of egg yolk.

Surdak used a dagger to cut a piece of scone into eight even pieces, and was about to put it on the campfire to crisp it up when he saw Samira turning to look at him.

Surdak raised his head and followed the direction of Samira's finger, and found that there were several children on the fence on the west side of the courtyard. There was a row of dense palm trees beside the fence, which almost completely blocked the courtyard.

It was precisely because of these palm trees that Suldak did not notice the children peeping into the yard at the first time.

Under the cover of trees, those small eyes blinked and seemed to be looking towards the terrace.

Suldak lowered his head and glanced at the baked wheat cake in his hand, decisively took out a few more wheat cakes from a wooden box, and cut them into eight pieces on the square table.

After thinking about it, I picked up the vegetable soup next to the grill. The vegetable soup is actually onions, cabbage and tomato sauce mixed together and stir-fried with butter, and then a lot of water was added. The combination of this vegetable soup is in Wall.

The village is very popular.

There are no tomatoes in Wall Village in the winter, but the tomato sauce cooked by each family is enough for everyone to last all winter.

Carrying a stack of cut scones and a bucket of hot soup, I walked through the front courtyard swimming pool and the green grass, and stood in front of the children squatting on the wall. The older children were so frightened that they jumped off the wall.

When we went to the street outside, the younger children wanted to jump with them, but they found that the wall was a bit too high, and for a while they were a little afraid to jump.

Several older children stood on the street and shouted urgently to the younger children: "Jump down quickly and run!"

The children were so anxious on the wall that they were about to burst into tears. There was a little girl squatting on the wall. In her haste, she stepped on the wrong foot and fell down from the wall with her head down.

A big hand held her body firmly, and Suldak lifted her up to the wall again. When a group of children were in a panic, Suldak handed over a triangular piece of wheat cake and asked the little girl

Said: "Would you like something to eat?"

The little girl was too timid to reach out and pick it up.

Without waiting for her answer, Suldak stuffed the baked wheat cake into her little hand, and each child on the wall was given a piece of baked wheat cake.

Samira followed from behind, holding a stack of white porcelain bowls, and helped Surdak distribute the vegetable soup to each child. Surdak was still reminding them: "Who wants to drink more?"

A bowl? Hey, be careful, don’t break these precious porcelains of mine..."

In fact, the dinner prepared by Suldak was not much, and it was far from enough to satisfy the civilians running from the south of the city on the street. He could only give some to a few children.

When the older children who were about to run away turned around and came back, the wheat cakes and the bucket of vegetable soup were quickly divided up.

He didn't take out more baked wheat cakes. The food Natasha prepared for him was only a few large wooden boxes. If he wanted more food, he had to wait until Aphrodite arrived in the city of Helensa.

The refugees on the street didn't all gather here just because a few children got some dinner.

And many people take some dry food with them when they leave home.

Gutun/span>Everyone was just frightened by what happened just now.



On a summer night, even the grass on the street is not that cool. The only sad part is the infestation of mosquitoes, but these people's nerves have been tense all day.

At night, many people curled up and fell asleep on the grass by the roadside with strong sleepiness.

The fighting at the southern edge of the noble district gradually subsided.

At night, Samira slipped out of the yard under the cover of darkness and walked around outside. The second magic pattern on her body had the ability to hide. This ability became stronger at night, as long as she remained motionless.

Hiding in the shadows, no one would notice her.

She ran back from outside and said to Suldak: "In addition to the five streets in this aristocratic area that were guarded by the lord's private army, the security brigade tried to retake the town hall near the central square at noon, but was defeated by a rebel force.

They were broken up, and now there are still many corpses in the central square of the town. The rebels are asking some residents of the town to move the corpses there. They have not lost their minds. At most, they have just robbed some wealthy businessmen. Ordinary townspeople only need to hide.

At home, no one will disturb you for the time being."

"It has been so long since they have not been able to capture the town of Takarai. This rebel army probably doesn't have much strength..." Surdak said, "I have found out which rebel army it is. What is the strength of this rebel army? How can we attack it?"

What is the purpose of Takarai Town?”

Samira shook her head. She just went out for a walk and never thought of arresting a rebel soldier for interrogation.

Besides, it's very possible that even the rebel fighters don't understand Surdak's problems clearly.

"Well, we don't need to pay attention to this. Since the town has not been cleansed, it seems that these rebels can still maintain their sanity in the battle, then we can appropriately help the townspeople outside who cannot return home for the time being.

…”

"Tomorrow, I will find a way to prepare some food, at least so that everyone can have a bowl of porridge." Suldak rubbed his forehead and whispered to Samira.

The magician Avid seemed to have some ideas, and said to Suldak: "I can go to the magic union in the town to seek support for this matter..."

Samira glanced at him lightly and said to Suldak: "I just passed by a trading house in the town. That trading house has been broken into by the rebels, and the warehouses have also been sealed. I

I saw a few granaries next to the trading house."

"You mean we should go over there and get some too?" Suldak immediately understood what Samira meant.

Samira nodded.

Hearing that Surdak was going to take Samira to rob homes, the two-headed ogre immediately said:

"Boss, I want to go too!"

Surdak didn't want a three-meter-tall two-headed ogre to fly across the street and cause panic among the people, especially in such an emergency period.

"Just guard this courtyard honestly and don't run out casually, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble..." Surdak said to Gulitem.

"I know...Boss!"

Although Gulitem looked reluctant, he still agreed.



In fact, there is really no technical content at all when it comes to robbing homes with a second-generation eagle eye like Samira.

She almost avoided the sentry posts everywhere and took Suldak directly to the roof of the granary in the backyard of the trading house.

At this time, the rebel army's logistics supply vehicles had parked on the street in front of the trading house. Many migrant workers were loading various supplies from the trading house onto the carriages. These rebels were like a group of beggars who had never seen the world.

Even the tables, chairs, furniture, washbasins and bookshelves in the house had to be moved to the carriage.

Precisely because they wanted everything and could not take care of the granary for the moment, Suldak moved more than a hundred bags of wheat flour from the granary. The problem was that his magic waist bag could only hold so much...



But that night, Surdak and Samira ran back and forth three times in a row, almost completely emptying a granary, before they stopped at dawn.

In fact, Thea basically didn't sleep much the whole night. She looked at Samira with envy, imagining that one day she could become Lord Surdak's assistant.

Surdak slept until noon before getting out of bed, and the battle in Takalai town continued.

Probably because other places had basically been calmed down, the main force of the rebel army gradually began to gather towards the rich area. The fighting at the entrance of the alley intensified. The private army assembled by the nobles suffered heavy casualties throughout the day.

Many nobles have already begun to prepare vehicles and pack luggage in the manor, hoping to secretly leave Takarai Town at night.

In the afternoon, the gate of the magician Avid's manor was slowly pushed open by Suldak, and the town residents who gathered in the open space in front of the gate stood up and cheered.

Surdak stood at the door and looked at the crowd, selected ten women in a row, pointed at them and said: "You guys come in, I have a job for you, one silver coin a day, and one for the whole family."

Three meals a day…”

Several women in the crowd hesitated, look at me, and I look at you. Then a stout woman boldly stood up, pulled a child and walked towards Suldak. She stood in front of him and asked timidly.

Said: "Sir, what do you want us to do when you hire us?"

"I need you to make oatmeal!" Suldak said.

"Sir, I am willing to accept this job..." the woman said bravely.

"Very good, then you will be the captain!" Suldak nodded slightly.

Then, Surdak continued to say loudly: "The magician nobleman Avid is willing to give out some food and silver coins to help the residents of the town who have been made homeless by the war. Yes, that's what he said.

You, but he doesn’t have enough servants to make these oatmeal, so he needs to choose from you who are young and strong, preferably with some cooking skills. Well, I will decide who to choose first..."

After hearing what Suldak said, the women around them realized what they had just missed, and they all expressed that their cooking skills were actually pretty good.

Surdak could not be bothered about this, so he immediately took the selected women into the courtyard. Their families could also come in and rest in the garden in the front yard, but no one could spend the night in this yard.

Not long after, the first pot of cooked oatmeal was carried out of the kitchen by two women. There were some green vegetable leaves and oily flowers floating on the hot oatmeal... To provide you with the fastest updates, free of charge
