Chapter 426: Jedi counterattack

"My lord, the brothers are all here." Suddenly someone beside him whispered.

Pelican carefully observed the surroundings first, and made sure that there

were no wild cats or other animals following, and then he was slightly

relieved. Now as long as he closes his eyes, there will always be strange

scenes of wild cats marching in line in his mind.

Only five people gathered here as agreed—compared to those who were gearing up

to do a big business when they first arrived in White River City, now

everyone's faces are full of indescribable heaviness.

"Is only you left?" The hard-hearted Pelican also felt a trace of pity. These

subordinates followed him for a long time, for a short period of three or four

years, and a long period of more than ten years. They did not expect to be

folded in a day. Most of the damage.

"Yes, several strongholds in the city were all cleaned up, and we happened to

go out to escape." The person who opened the mouth replied, "My lord, is there

a traitor in the team...?"

"Yes, someone must have confessed everyone's whereabouts, and Jinxia's

counterattack came so quickly!" The others angrily said.

"Not necessarily." Pelican shook his head. "Our opponent is an alchemist. If

there is an enemy who is good at hacking, it is not surprising that we can't

keep the secret. If there are brothers who confessed, we can still meet again

using secret words? I'll catch them all in one go."

The five of them fell silent.

Someone asked after a while, "My lord, what should we do next? The funds have

been collected by the other party. Will we wait for the Privy Council to issue

new silver?"

"We don't know how long it will take to wait for the people over there to

contact us. The rumors of the food disaster have finally spread. We must not

let this fire go out!" Pelican firmly cut the railway, "The food shop is the

next goal, especially those The pavements where the food industry has been

closed-if they can be destroyed, the panic fire will be burned more

vigorously!"

"There are now a large number of guards at the grain shop. With our people,

I'm afraid we can't rush in, right?" the subordinate said suspiciously.

"Indeed. So I prepared this in advance."

Pelican put down the suitcase at hand and opened the lid.

I saw four bamboo-shaped toys inside, each about the thickness of an arm, the

main body is made of wood, and the head is inserted with a metal rod.

"Master Tan, what is this?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"Zooming Thunder, a new thing made by the Ministry of Industry." Pelican

picked up one of the "bamboo tubes" and briefly introduced, "Just pull out the

pull ring on the copper rod and press the copper rod into the tube, and it

will It can send out a shocking explosion, and it can burn everything in the

range, and a grain shop in a small area is naturally no longer a problem!"

"You haven't mentioned it to us before... actually there is such a sharp

thing!"

"If I mentioned it, can it still survive?" The Pelican snorted coldly,

"Because it is a new thing, it can only play an unexpected role at this time."

He took a deep breath and stared at the people, "Listen well, I know that the

entire White River City is likely to be under the surveillance of the enemy.

This action is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that there will be

no return, but it is also true. It's a good opportunity to serve the court! I

have written down all the things that happened here and handed them to the

messenger. You don't have to worry about burying your achievements."

Of course, there is another reason for this-if you leave the operation area

without receiving instructions, it is definitely a stain on the ears of the

adult who is engaged in the spy career. It is guaranteed that it will also

affect the family members. This is that he will never want to watch. The

result.

One of his subordinates hesitated, "My lord, I am not greedy for life and fear

of death, but...is it really useful to do this?"

"What do you mean?" The pelican frowned.

"On my way here, I heard a new news, which was spread by people from the

branch office." The person paused. "Jinxia City not only sent a relief convoy,

but a cargo ship full of food was also heading towards Baihe City. Coming in,

I expect to arrive this afternoon. And...this is just the beginning of

assistance."

"The beginning of aid-what does it mean?"

"If I understand correctly, they will send at least one ship every day to

transport food until the food shortage is over."

'S words made the scene silent.

"How is it possible?" Pelican stared after a long while, "Jinxia City is not a

grain-producing area, so how can there be so much grain for others to eat!?

Even if it wants to protect Baihe City, what about Anshen City? How about

Fuming County? It’s impossible to protect everyone, right?"

Any normal governor can understand what the food shortage is all about. If you

can’t feed everyone, this input is equivalent to pure waste. As long as the

gap still exists, the part that is about to starve to death is destined to

cause a problem. Turmoil. At this time, the correct approach is to keep the

stability of Jinxia City, not to let gaps appear in the city!

The consequence of rain and dew is to make turmoil sweep across Shenzhou.

Unless—they really have enough food to support the entire territory of

Shenzhou!

The Pelican certainly wouldn't believe this.

Jinxia is Yancheng, and it is not a big food producer. Even its own food

consumption needs to be provided by the surrounding Gaoshan County. It is

undoubtedly a idiot to avoid this famine!

If all this is just a mitigation strategy, perhaps he should find a way to

break the enemy's plan.

"This way..." Pelican made a decision and said, "We split up, you go blow up

the grain shop, and I will destroy Jinxia's cargo ship."

"My lord, are you sure you want to do this? The guards around the cargo ship

must be much tighter than the grain shops!"

"Yes, maybe the alchemists who wiped out the brothers will also appear near

the pier."

"So only I can do this by myself." Pelican patted his shoulders, "What kind of

life the family can live in the future depends on our fight."

……

Having said that, the Pelican didn't intend to die with the enemy in his arms.

If you can survive to enjoy the honor, it is naturally better than dying in a

foreign land.

Such a dangerous situation, he has gone through more than ten times, UU

reading www.uukanshu.com can complete the task and survive every time,

naturally, not by a brutal force, but by careful planning and calculation.

Compared to White River City, where wild cats are everywhere, it is easier to

successfully deal with cargo ships if the latter is not a rumor spread by the

affairs branch.

After all, as long as it is a ship, it must stop at the dock for unloading,

and the inland wharf has always been crowded with people, making it easier for

him to get involved. In addition, the sky-shaking thunder will be delayed for

a while from triggering to detonation, and there is still about five breaths

of space after throwing it out. By then, the wide river is undoubtedly his

best escape route.

At about the afternoon, the rumored Jinxia grain ship appeared in the

Pelican's field of vision.

No one reminded that there was no clear flag on the ship, but as soon as he

saw the outline of the cargo ship, he realized that the ship was coming from

Jinxia.

Because he has never seen such a weird sailboat.

Not only him, but all the people who noticed the ship showed a shocked look,

and there was an endless stream of discussions. The ice-forged ship, no sails

and oars, and the black biped beasts on board are enough to make people talk

about it for a long time.

The Pelican realized for the first time that the opponent he was facing, or

the opponent facing the Privy Council of Gyeonggi, might be an enemy that

could not be taken into account.

"It's fish-the food they brought is actually fish!" someone exclaimed.

The pelican also saw it. On the large and rudimentary ice ship deck, there

were several hill-like marine fish piled up. They were mixed with ice scum,

fresh as if they had just been salvaged from the sea.
