honor me as god

Chapter 539

I don't know when, the sky has already started to drizzle. The rain fell on Bolton's exquisite armor, splashing fine sprays. His face was dripping with water, and his eyes were lonely watching the man who was sobbing because of his stomach discomfort. little girl.

Gomez walked carefully behind Bolton, and said in a self-reproachful tone: "Your Highness, letting the civilians enter the Danyu Plain is a decision made by Supervisor Lin Gengsen and I. We really can't bear to see the civilians starve to death and be forced to die." We are forced to make a bad move. If His Highness wants to ask for a crime, please punish us two."

Lin Gengsen also followed, his tone extremely distressed: "That's right, Your Highness, if there is any crime, we can just bear it, please don't embarrass others."

Du Mingwei sighed softly, squinted his eyes at the field full of hungry people in front of him, and said silently: "Your Highness, let me tell you the truth. Opening the Danyu Plain to the common people is actually drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Let's not talk about the health problems of eating those green ears of wheat. These ears of wheat are still immature. If they are eaten by ordinary people now, even the straws will be gnawed off. It will be a huge damage to the subsequent production."

"Assuming that one mu of land could support 5 people, but now it is eaten by civilians in advance, it may actually only support 3 people-this is still on the premise of not setting fire to the field."

"Continuing with the current situation, even if the royal family withdraws the order to cultivate the Blood Essence Grass and allows the wheat ears in the Danyu Plain to continue to grow, the production will suffer a severe setback due to the premature destruction of the wheat fields. There will be some people who will not be able to eat."

"In other words, some of these people you see now are destined to die."

Bolton stood in the rain, silently, behind him were the most elite soldiers in the kingdom, and in front of him were the devastated and laboring beings in Danyu City. Their eyes were all staring at Bolton. It turned into a wall, making him unable to breathe.

In the end, Bolton seemed to lose some emotion in his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes, pointed at the orderly beside him, and said two words deeply:

"Relief food."

The guards, noble officials, and civilians were all stunned when they heard this.

The orderly stared blankly at Bolton, and then at the civilians who were as dull as him
A soldier takes obeying orders as his bounden duty, especially a messenger like him, questioning the orders of his superiors is not allowed, so he turned around and left to pass orders without saying anything.

Seeing Bolton's dazed eyes, the lieutenant felt that he was acting out of emotion, and immediately became very anxious.

The position of the lieutenant in the Guards Corps was second only to Bolton, and he was not comparable to ordinary soldiers, and he also had a great voice. He immediately grabbed Bolton's arm and shouted loudly: "Your Highness! You have Wang Ling!"

Bolton's tiger body shook, and he came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He sternly shouted to the messenger: "Stop!"

The messenger hurriedly stopped, waiting for the next instruction.

Bolton had just finished drinking, but fell silent again in the face of those aggressive civilians.

The scene was silent, only the sound of wind blowing and rain falling.

After an unknown amount of time, Du Mingwei bowed his head and knelt down in front of Bolton, without saying a word, but the silence was more like a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the officials and nobles followed suit, kneeling on the ground with their foreheads on the ground, and the civilians in all directions also knelt down in pieces, like felled straw.

Surrounded by the crowd bowing their heads, Bolton seemed to have been extinguished of the fierceness he had just raised. He raised his head and faced the heavier and heavier rain, and let out a long sigh.

"Relief." Bolton repeated these two words, turned around and left without saying anything more, his dejected figure gradually disappeared into the rain.

Danyu City was saved—at least temporarily.

Bolton did not set fire to the Danyu Plain, but kept it intact, giving the civilians of Danyu City the hope of surviving in the future.

On the other hand, since the ears of wheat in the Danyu Plain are not mature yet, and the food in the city is short of food, in order to ensure that the crops will not be destroyed, and to prevent food poisoning caused by eating the green wheat ears, Bolton sent Andre the 36 tons of relief food were all donated to Danyu City.

Compared with the huge number of people in Danyu City, this amount of relief food is far from enough, but at least it temporarily relieves the urgent need.

On the day of the food relief, the people in Danyu City were full of enthusiasm. The common people were grateful to the wise and decisive Prince Bolton, to His Majesty the King who sent the savior to Danyu City, and even more grateful to Prince Andre who worked hard to raise the food for everyone.

On the day Bolton led the personal guards to leave Danyu City, the streets were already crowded with people. The dark crowd was separated by the cordon drawn by the personal guards, but their enthusiasm remained undiminished. Shouts of gratitude swept over the food aid like a wave.

Facing the grateful people, Bolton didn't respond, but just rode out of the city silently with the guards, completely losing the vigor he had when he first came.

The lieutenant rode his horse beside Bolton, lowered his voice so that only Bolton could hear him: "Your Highness, I think you have made a big mistake in this matter."

Bolton asked silently: "What is right? What is wrong?"

The deputy general said in a deep voice: "With Wang Ling on your side, you should plant the blood essence grass no matter what. This is for the sake of the overall situation."

Bolton gave a short sneer, and said with a blank expression: "You mean, the people don't want us to burn the fields, and I don't need to pay attention to them. I just give the order to burn them, including their people and their fields, right? Burning people Turning into ashes, maybe it can also make the land fertile and make the blood essence grass grow faster, right?"

The deputy general pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "We obey you unconditionally. If you really give this order, we will also carry it out."

Bolton's eyes seemed to be on fire. He pointed to the relief food in the hands of the civilians, and said heavily: "Keep your eyes open and look at the food! Those are all raised by my second brother's hard work day and night! He has worked hard for a few days Sleepless for several nights, so tired that he vomited blood, just to raise more food and save a few more people, and even before he passed out, he was worried about thousands of people in Danyu City!"

"Second brother is concerned about the country and the people. You want me to be a butcher? You want me to burn the people he cares about?! If I do this, what face will I have to see him in the future?!"

The lieutenant general was speechless. Firstly, he really didn't dare to contradict the prince when he was angry. Second, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only sigh secretly, feeling sad that Bolton had received such a difficult task.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, and the deputy general whispered: "Your Highness, we won't talk about what happened. Have you thought about how to explain to Your Majesty when you go back?"

Bolton's eyes were full of the fortitude of a strong man, and he said unwaveringly: "If you dare to do it, you dare to do it, and you can explain what you want. I will not hide a word."
