Makino changed his identity as a hawker and prepared to take a look at the situation in Taiping City.
After demons attack the city, the people in the city need to be appeased, and the forces of the Taiping Martial Arts Association need to be unified. After Feng Wuque's death, what should the Feng family do, and how should Kuo Yu's army train in the future?
After going online, most of the monster corpses outside the city have been cleared away. The order in the city is still stable. The vendors and storefronts on the street are still open. The difference is that they are currently in a discounted celebration mode, probably to celebrate surviving the catastrophe.
.
Pedestrians on the street were all talking eagerly about what happened yesterday. Some were talking about the demon sealer, some were talking about monsters, some were talking about Mrs. Yun, and some were talking about the Feng family...
From the perspective of a hawker, you can better see the life of the people in the city.
Because of this role, I can blend in very well.
On the Central Street of Taiping City, it was like a festival, with many merchants and artists gathered together, performing various performances, and there were even performances that recreated the scene of yesterday. With the help of a storyteller in front, the scene of yesterday was actually
The performance is 7788.
This made many people who had never seen yesterday's scene exclaim and applaud in amazement. Several onlookers who witnessed it on the tower were also inserted to add vivid details to deepen the authenticity of this battle.
"Yesterday, there were so many demons and monsters as dense as a swarm of ants. Until now, no one had done anything. The dust was rising and the wind and sand were blowing. When everyone was timid, only the demon sealer in black came out..."
…
While listening, Makino looked at the relaxed state of the people around him and praised secretly.
The attack of monsters on a city is an extremely depressing thing, and it will inevitably cause chaos in the city for a long time. It will not be easy to quickly restore order and release the fear and depression of many people.
After making some inquiries and looking at the patrols of Kuo Yujun around, I realized that this was handled by Mrs. Yun.
"As expected of the royal queen, it seems that Mrs. Yun is really capable."
Makino changed into a demon sealer and came to the camp where Kuo Yu's army was stationed.
Before entering the camp, the camp was exuding a strong smell of demon blood.
After arriving at the camp, Han Qi, who was covered in bandages, was leading many Kuoyu troops to deal with the corpses of many demons, with a solemn expression on his face.
It wasn't until he turned around and saw the commander returning that he came over:
"Commander, you are here!"
Makino nodded slightly and asked about Kuo Yujun's situation.
The remaining two thousand people are considered the foundation of this army.
Upon asking this question, the situation is not very good.
"To be honest, although the demon has been eliminated, these corpses are not easy to deal with."
"After demons die, their internal organs, flesh and blood will exude a lot of evil spirit. If they are discarded at will, it will not only pollute the land, but also breed diseases."
Han Qi said, "If ordinary people inhale these evil spirits, they may become seriously ill or even die. If there are several corpses, they can still be disposed of. Normally, just use medicine to remove the evil spirits, and then cremate them."
"But with so many monster corpses, it's really troublesome to deal with them..."
"Since the end of yesterday, more than ten brothers have absorbed the evil spirit due to handling the corpses of demons, and have become seriously ill."
Makino frowned, it didn't sound like an ordinary trouble.
Indeed, there were at most a few monsters before, but how could we have seen such a large formation?
"Actually..." Han Qi thought for a while, "Actually, I suggested to Mrs. Yun that these monster corpses should be made into bitter meat..."
"Do you know about bitter meat?" Makino asked.
"I know." Han Qi said, "I have been studying various military books all year round, and I have seen in many military books examples of making demon meat into bitter meat and using it as military food. There were such examples hundreds of years ago, but later because of Soldiers who had eaten bitter meat were easily infected and transformed into demons, so the imperial court banned the production and consumption of this bitter meat."
"and you…"
"Because there is no other way." Han Qi shook his head and said, "Commander, based on my prediction, the future of Taiping City will not be easy."
"First of all, if so many monsters appear in the Chishui River, the river water will be polluted, and the fields downstream will be greatly affected."
"Taiping City's grain yield will be very poor in the past two years, which will lead to Taiping City being very likely to be short of grain."
"Although there is a shortage of food, from Mrs. Yun's point of view, there is no shortage of money."
Han Qi whispered, "Do you think we can purchase food from other cities through trade? But... I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Makino raised his eyebrows and thought of something.
"Mrs. Shen is extremely smart..." Han Qi said, "When I reported to her yesterday, she said that there would be no war in Taiping City in the next six months to one year. I didn't realize it at the time, and I didn't understand until I thought about it after I left."
"Feng Wuque of the Feng family died in Taiping City, and the Feng family was a serious royal family in the imperial court. Although they were lonely, their status was still there."
"To die in Taiping City like this, the imperial court will definitely pay extra attention to this place. Once it is known that Taiping City is controlled by the Taiping Martial Arts Association, the imperial court will be furious. There is a high probability that the imperial court will send troops to destroy it and regain control of Taiping City. "
Makino was stunned, he had not thought of it so far.
Especially considering that Mrs. Yun has a special status and is a descendant of the royal family.
Nowadays, the dynasty is in chaos and there are many princes in various places. Once it is known that Mrs. Yun is gaining power, how can it be so easy for her to survive?
From the very first tutorial level, it seemed like someone was going to kill her.
This time the demons attacked the city. It looked like the Feng family was up to something, but in fact there was probably someone else behind it who wanted to directly destroy the entire Taiping City. Maybe it was also to target her, the descendant of the Northern Liang King.
"Once the war breaks out again..." Han Qi said, "If the regular army of the imperial court or the prince's army attacks, Taiping City's trade will be cut off, and food will be cut off sooner or later. Our Kuoyu Army is the only combat force in Taiping City now..."
"If you want to become stronger quickly, eating bitter meat to increase your strength is the most direct and effective way..."
The effect of bitter meat can be seen from Tiejimen and Fengjia.
The Iron Leg Gate was not as good as the Shenquan Martial Arts School before, but within a year or two, it had directly caught up and surpassed it.
"Mrs. Shen asked me to tell you about this matter." Han Qi thought for a while, "Maybe I don't want you to worry. But you are the commander-in-chief of Kuo Yujun..."
This is the benefit of reputation.
"Let me see the demon corpse first..." Makino said.
Han Qi led Mu Ye to a chopping block. There were five soldiers holding steel knives and wearing thick veils, frowning and decomposing the demon's body.
If it is not decomposed first and the demon corpse is allowed to rot from the inside out, the consequences will be even worse.
What the five soldiers decomposed was a piranha. This kind of piranha has a tough skin, bones and teeth as hard as rocks, and is extremely heavy with moisture, making it very difficult to decompose.
After all, most soldiers are not yet qualified warriors.
They even dare not touch the blood of man-eating loaches, because the demon's blood contains the most evil spirit.
Makino stretched out his hand, suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist, and with a volley, peeled off a large piece of skin, exposing the bleeding subcutaneous fat.
Then he tore off a piece, channeled his internal energy into his palm, and the red flames burst out. With a gentle touch, the demon skin immediately rolled up due to the heat.
"Bring water."
Han Qi didn't know what the commander was going to do, so he asked someone to get water as ordered.
Makino put the roasted demon skin in the water and gently washed it for a few times. After taking it out, his eyes lit up slightly.
