MTL - Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Survival of the Lord: Starting from the Dilapidated Courtyard Raiders Chapter 1075: Castles and Municipal Officials Please subscribe]

Putting on a brand new hoodie, Zong Shen dragged Safli through the streets and alleys.

Hunger groans can be heard almost everywhere.

Only occasionally do you see a few more respectable guys.

Many closed shops were vandalized and looted.

There are often emaciated mothers walking weakly along the streets with hungry young children in their arms.

The sight of this cruel sight has become numb to it.

At this moment, Zongshen only wanted to solve the problem of Seakabang City as soon as possible.

The only way to stabilize the order is to gradually release grain and restore local commerce and agriculture.

Only then can it be revived from its increasingly rotten death.

The city must function as soon as possible, and a shutdown is tantamount to death.

Only a functioning city can support the population.

Previously, Zong Shen sent the news of "the savior appeared and gathered at the square at midnight" through the hungry people, and it spread quickly in the city. Along the way, he had seen many groups of hungry people rushing from different directions to the largest square in the city of Aseka—

—Assemble and wait in the Glory Civic Square.

In the territory, Hao Yin and others also embarked on a journey to purchase food.

The amount of food that is enough to feed 50,000 people has been sent here by Mariel.

As long as Haoyin doesn't lose the chain, Saiakabang City will receive the first batch of grain tomorrow as soon as possible.

At present, the remaining hungry people in Bangcheng are really poor people.

Those guys who had a choice are long gone.

The population loss in the city is no longer a matter of a day or two.

Death is only part of the reason for population decline, and group relocation, as well as those accompanying refugees, is the real big head.

In any case, since Zong has run into this problem, he will not allow the situation to continue to deteriorate.

Half an hour later, the three came to the central area.

Here the streets are wider and the buildings taller and stronger.

But even so, it still cannot escape the fate of decline.

Baron Yindi's castle is located in the center of the city, also surrounded by lawns and green gardens.

It just occupies a smaller area than Baron Bezos's castle.

The perimeter of the garden is cut off by a pale yellow stone wall.

Most of the decorative climbing vines planted along the walls have withered.

A thick layer of rotting leaves fell on the ashlar road.

Not far away is the town hall in a dome-covered style.

Above it, the two-winged soaring flag representing Saikabang City is already damaged.

On the surrounding domed towers, the ashen-faced sentinels leaned against the wall feebly.

Zong Shen chose to walk on purpose. Along the way, he found that the closer he was to the city center, the fewer hungry people on the roadside.

There are no pedestrians, no business travelers, and no bustling bustle in the past.

This is the heart of the city, but it is also the first place to die in Seakabang.

Zong Shen walked in front, and Safli followed behind with Xiao Na Rui in her arms.

When you come to the streets outside the central garden, there are still guards standing guard and patrolling here.

Although the establishment of the Bangcheng Army has shrunk significantly, some soldiers still choose to persevere.

These soldiers are in fair condition, a little depressed, but at least they are not bothered by hunger.

Every street is lined up with layers of horse repelling and roadblocks, which looks heavily guarded.

When the three of them approached, the nearby patrolling garrison team immediately approached.

The leading squad leader straightened his chest, temporarily put aside his frustrated look, and shouted in a serious tone.

"Stop whoever comes!"

"Please state your identity and intent."

"This is the castle of Baron Indy Nichols, protected by the laws of the Kingdom of Avalon!"

"For trespassers, the Seaka Garrison has the right to implement coercive measures!"

Garrison troops are slightly different from city defense troops.

Although they are the same as the Bangcheng Army in terms of organization, they are completely different in function.

The former is relatively small in number and belongs to the inner guard, mainly protecting the rights of the rulers and nobles in power.

The latter has a large number and belongs to the external defense establishment. Its responsibilities include public security, city defense, patrol, and garrison within its jurisdiction.

In the wave of disbandment in the past few months, the city defense army has been most affected.

Basically, more than 80% of the soldiers left the team and became wandering soldiers.

Except for a few who stayed in the city, most of them were hired by those wealthy businessmen and jazz nobles as private soldiers.

Half of the garrison disbanded and escaped, and the rest could barely maintain the patrol in the central area.

The food supply was directly provided by the baron's castle, which was also the main reason why the remaining soldiers did not collapse and flee immediately.

After all, there are not many places to manage meals.

Zong Shen raised his hood and looked directly at the captain in front of him.

Captain of the Seaka Garrison: Drew Bowen lv22]

…

The comprehensive combat strength is equivalent to that of a Tier 3 Avalon swordsman.

In front of Zong Shen, it's not enough to look at at all.

But he didn't intend to be violent, because there was no need.

These fighters will become one of the forces maintaining the order of the state city in the future.

He can also reduce the troops mobilized in some territories.

So he took out the magic banner that Baron Bezos had given him from the storage compartment and went back to Chapter 368.

This banner bears the crest of Bospont and his magical brand.

Its name is Bosbang's Magic Banner Purple].

After taking out the flag, Zong Shen unfolded it calmly, and then said seriously.

"I am the consul of Bosbon, the envoy sent by Lord Bezos Chebman."

"Master Bezos knew about Siaka's situation and sent me to discuss support."

"This flag is a token, and its information is imprinted and recorded in the Kingdom Atlas!"

As Zong Shen spoke, he raised the flag in his hand.

This type of city flag bears a region-specific magical imprint.

The aboriginal forces of the Kingdom of Avalon have their own screening methods.

Zong Shen has already understood these situations, so he is very proficient in raising the banner now.

In fact, Zong Shen can activate Wandering Walk] to flash in.

But this completely deviates from the original intention. He needs a reasonable and legal identity to get in touch with Baron Yindi's family in the castle.

After all, in the next stage, he will arrange his subordinates to pretend to be Yindi Nichols.

At that time, contact with family members will also be indispensable.

This move can also be regarded as opening up possible flaws in advance.

Try as much as possible to allow subsequent pretenders to perfectly enter the Baron's Castle and gain justifiable fans.

The garrison captain named Drew Bowen was slightly stunned. He looked at the flag and finally performed a simple courtesy.

"Please wait here, let me report to the chief."

After speaking, he gestured to the team members, and the whole team was divided into two.

The five soldiers left with him, and the rest stayed where they were and stared at Zong Shen.

Seeing the performance of these garrison troops, he nodded secretly.

The catastrophe in Seakabang City was a challenge.

Under such circumstances, most of the guys who can persist are those who are tough and loyal to their duties.

And these people will also become the cornerstone of the recasting of Bangcheng.

Soon, two sergeants on prairie horses rushed over.

After they saw the flag, they took out a magic disc and swept it at the flag.

After confirming that the magic imprint was correct, they respectfully invited Zong Shen and Safli, who was holding little Narui, into the castle garden.

The servants in the castle are basically intact.

The old butler personally welcomed them into the castle in a carriage.

During the period, Zong Shen chatted with him a few words, and learned that there is no one in charge of the castle now.

Only a few former second-level municipal officials set up a temporary government affairs hall on the first floor of the castle.

It's just that the symbolic meaning of this government affairs hall is greater than the actual meaning.

No one in the city would listen to them at all.

Although Baron Indy Nichols has issued an appointment order, it is still useless.

It's just that the city hall in the city has been disbanded for many days, and the only one qualified to receive foreign visitors is the temporary government affairs hall.

All in all, Seakabang is a mess right now.

If it weren't for the lack of force among the hungry people, the garrison would not have been completely disbanded.

I'm afraid those hungry people have already launched an attack on the baron's castle.

The roadblocks and horse refusals at the street entrances in the central city area are arranged to resist the impact.

In fact, some time ago, thousands of hungry people really launched a round of attack.

But the result is self-evident. The next day there were thousands more corpses in the suburbs.

There is a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of regular troops and civilians.

The individual attributes of farmers are usually in the single digits, and the residents who have experienced professional training and training all year round are only in the 10s, but this attribute is completely incomparable with that of professional fighters.

Zong Shen discovered this situation a long time ago.

He believes that this is a deliberate suppression of the aborigines by the lord system in order to prevent possible turmoil caused by class gaps and backward productivity.

But if you think about it carefully, this situation is actually just a split between extraordinary power and ordinary people.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the castle, and the servants who had not yet dismissed made the inside and outside of the castle clean and tidy.

It can barely maintain the dignity that a ruling noble should have.

Even though this decency is ridiculous in the face of the collapse and erosion of the entire city, it also represents the city's last struggle.

The few municipal officials who had already received the news eagerly waited at the door.

The envoy of You Neighboring State City is no less than Song Bao Boy.

The three of them left the carriage under the hospitality of the butler, and were then surrounded by the city officials into the castle hall.

The person in charge of the reception is a guy with a mustache and a gentleman's hat.

His name was Domhnall Eden.

Beside Domhnall are an old man in leather armor and a young man holding a heron quill.

Their names are Kolos Curtis and Saul Bravo.

Zong Shen glanced briefly at the information of these guys.

It was found that Domhnall is a hero with rare talent, and Kolos and Thor also have excellent talent.

And these three guys belong to the "eliminated goods" who were left behind.

It is conceivable that there should be better heroes at the time when Bangcheng's municipal institutions were still intact.

There are several official desks in the hall on the first floor of the castle.

It is full of help letters from various villages, as well as help reports before the main part of the city was disbanded.

The cashmere rugs on the floor have long since become filthy.

There was also a large pool of dried ink.

Maps studded with letters hung on the walls, and there was a sense of desperate haste.

Their efforts were destined to be in vain, and the sticking point was Baron Indy Nichols.

If you don't get him, any effort is meaningless self-deception.

Domhnall, Kolos and Saul greeted Zongshen and Saffrey warmly.

The former was responsible for wiping out three clean tables and chairs, while the latter two went to make tea with the servants.

"Conditions are limited..."

"I hope that the respected messenger will not be offended!"

Domhnall said apologetically, the mustache on his lips trembling as he spoke.

Zong Shen and Safli just smiled and sat on the chair he packed up.

Little Na Rui, who was sleeping soundly, also woke up, and was placed on another chair by Safli.

Soon, hot black tea was also brought in.

As for snacks, there is nothing.

There is no shortage of common food in the castle, but those precious ingredients have long been exhausted.

After busying for a while, three minor internal affairs officials stood in front of Zong Shen.

They gave Zong Shen enough respect, they didn't even sit down, and kept their posture very low.

"My dear envoy, may I ask if your country is really ready to support us?"

Domhnall rubbed his hands together and asked the question they were most concerned about expectantly.

To this, Zong Shen didn't answer immediately, he picked up the black tea and blew on the hot air, took a sip before slowly speaking.

"You should have heard of the generosity of Lord Bezos."

"He has an excellent reputation among the nobles of the giant city of Lentax~www.~ so you don't need to doubt it."

His words reassured the three of Domhnall a lot.

"Then next, shouldn't it be time to discuss the arrangement of support materials?"

Right now, the city of Sakabang is riddled with holes.

The city officials with a little means left here long ago.

Domhnall and their positions are awkward.

They have compassion.

But there are neither resources to mobilize nor contacts to obey orders.

You can only watch the situation worsen.

Even if the three save the next part of their family rations to help the hungry, it will not help.

So they were very excited to hear that there was assistance.

As long as this batch of aid passes through their hands, it can be distributed to the hungry people!

The previous corrupt officials who intercepted the grain had already left.

Baron Yin Di is invisible all day long, and has become synonymous with the depravity of the ruler.

Now is the best chance for the three of them to perform their duties as mayors.

The straight-line distance between Bosbang and Saikabang is about more than 1,000 kilometers.

If the carriages and horses are on the road, it will only take about 4 to 7 days to arrive!

Looking at the three people with excited expressions, Zong Shen poured a basin of cold water.

He shook his head and said in an indifferent tone.

"The situation in Seakabang City is bad."

"We found that there was a complete loss of order here."

"Everywhere is full of bad rumors about Lord Baron Yin Di."

"I don't intend to emphasize this point, but Mr. Bezos has explained it."

"The recovery of Seakabang must have the full support of Baron Yindi."

"If Lord Yin Di doesn't show his determination to regroup, the assistance will not be carried out!"
