Qiyaotian.
In Carleston, the wartime comprehensive rationing system had been rolled out, and many shops on the streets were closed, making it look extremely deserted.
Of course, for people in the upper class, they don't need to live on that ration.
The suffering of the people at the bottom has nothing to do with them.
According to Zhong Shenxiu's observation, after the implementation of the rationing system, the number of invitations to dances he received did not decrease at all.
Moreover, wherever you go, you can see splendid halls, well-dressed performance teams, and mountains of food.
Many hosts will enthusiastically invite guests to taste the delicacies prepared by their personal chefs and provide valuable advice.
The Mojito family is doing well too.
Not to mention that they have already stocked up a large amount of supplies in advance, even on the black market, as long as they are willing to spend gold pounds, they can also buy many high-end goods.
The logistics minister in the kingdom is said to be the largest shareholder in the black market, so even if there are some precious materials that are not available in the frontline army, there must be some in the rear.
"Master, Mr. Kerry is here to visit."
The personal servant John knocked on the door and came in, bowing.
"Ask him to wait for me in the living room."
Zhong Shenxiu thought for a while, put down the newspaper, and answered casually.
In the newspapers, there were still various articles advocating for war in the East, but he felt that the people were starting to get tired.
Those congressmen have obviously seen this and are accelerating the introduction of the Homestead Act.
I have to say that missing the key host still had some impact, even though it was only for a few months.
Zhong Shenxiu came to the living room and saw Kerry already waiting.
"Good day, Your Excellency Levi."
Kerry stood up with a smile, but Zhong Shenxiu saw that the snack plate next to him was empty, and the small cakes, cookies and other snacks on it were missing.
"Good day, Kerry, it's been half a month since we last met, right?"
Zhong Shenxiu sat down casually and took a sip of coffee: "Come here today. What do you want?"
"It's like this. I know you have always been interested in ancient history. I recently joined a very high-level gathering. Well, it was convened by Prince Ymel. I have recorded some content and want to share it with you. .”
Kerry said very grandly.
"That's exactly what I need."
Zhong Shenxiu took the manuscript and couldn't help but smile when he saw the various symbols of the old gods on it.
"In addition, Prince Immel wants to hold a charity dinner and invite all the great nobles and businessmen to discuss the issue of increasing relief points and extending the time and amount of food distribution."
Kerry said as he ceremoniously handed over an invitation.
Zhong Shenxiu took the gilded invitation and said with a smile: "I will definitely attend, thank you..."
At this moment, he seemed to sense something, his expression changed, he stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
"What happened?"
Kerry asked thoughtfully, [Spirit Boy] has a very high level of inspiration.
"It's nothing, I just felt a little uncomfortable suddenly."
Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand, and the butler next to him, Old Brown, immediately sent the guest out politely.
After waving the manservant to leave, Zhong Shenxiu held the coffee cup and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Does this feel like... finally starting to overcome the tribulation?"
It had been a while since he had transformed into that world, but there had been no feedback at all before, making him almost think that it would be a disaster to fully experience the world.
But now, there is finally a hint of disaster.
Although the outcome may not be predictable, at least it has begun, which is a good sign.
This caused some inexplicable changes in his breath in an instant. His soul suddenly appeared and connected with the world, but nothing seemed to happen.
Not far away, John, who had been promoted to [Qi Refiner], looked around with some doubts and felt that Mr. Levi's back was so peaceful and distant...
…
Fufeng protects the mansion.
The Kingdom of Clement has thirteen standing corps.
Since the Lightning Corps was completely wiped out here, steam trains have been used to transport troops here.
By now, five regiments of the 'Giants', 'Spear Throwers', 'Red Scorpions', 'Black Deaths' and 'Tomahawks' have been transported. The soldiers even broke into Luozhou and defeated Luozhou. city.
The city of Luozhou has long been under martial law and the army has gathered, but this is nothing. The four major corps still broke through there. The guardian of the opponent, a monk known as Yuan Dan, has been killed by [Dragon Knight] Gale. before the army.
Fu Feng City.
Because the Protectorate is no longer the main battlefield, there is only one regiment of Giants stationed here, and the soldiers seem to be more relaxed.
"This is oriental architecture. It is indeed full of a classical style, which is fascinating..."
Arnold, carrying a rifle on his back, walked through the buildings, unable to take his eyes away.
"Haha... little Arnold likes this place very much. I heard that this was once the territory of the Felix family. After the collapse of the ancient Eastern Empire, a descendant of the Medici family came here and established a count. The country was only conquered by the Second Empire because of the obstruction of the black mist. What a pity..."
A veteran with a burgundy nose sighed.
"I heard that the Kingdom will soon pass the Homestead Act to encourage immigration to the east, and there will be huge rewards for veterans to settle..."
Arnold spoke.
He was originally just the son of a small citizen. After studying for a few years, he wanted to apply for the university of architecture.
It's a pity that I didn't pass the exam, and then the war broke out...
Now think about it, if you can get a lot of fertile land here, becoming a farmer seems to be a good choice.
Just then, they suddenly heard a rapid whistle.
The one who blew the whistle was their superior officer, who was saying in a heavy tone: "Urgent mission, go to the city wall immediately to set up defenses and prepare to defend against the enemy's attack."
"Sir, how could there be enemies here?"
The veteran with rosacea laughed dryly twice, as if he was comforting himself, but also seemed to be afraid of something.
"News came from the front line. The enemy ignored the conventions of all countries, and a large number of high-level extraordinary people participated in the war. They even attacked our front line troops... But this cannot defeat us. It's just that a small group of enemies has come to the rear. We must organize The second line of defense is to deal with some guerrilla teams that have crossed the defense lines of the four major corps. For the glory of the giant! Kill them!"
The chief replied inflammatoryly.
This is naturally a one-sided view, and the high-level Extraordinaries in the West are not without resistance, but these are not things that a small captain can know.
Arnold's head felt dizzy and his heart was filled with fear.
He is just a new recruit who has never seen blood, but now he is going to the battlefield!
Half an hour later.
On the city wall, Arnold, holding a rifle, heard a shrill warning: "The enemy appears!"
In his field of vision, a large number of black spots slowly appeared, getting closer and closer.
His mouth suddenly opened wide, his pupils began to shrink unconsciously, and there was a cry in his voice: "Master of the Gate... I want to go home..."
In Arnold's sight, a large number of living corpses with missing arms and legs appeared.
They are wearing the military uniforms of the four major corps of the ‘Spear Throwers’, ‘Red Scorpions’, ‘Black Death’ and ‘Tomahawk’. Their faces are stiff. They are already dead and are moving towards the city with difficulty...
