"Lord Yue, please wait. The people in my room are all leaders of Shuangliu City. They have been waiting for you for a long time. All matters in Shuangliu City need to be discussed and settled between you and them," Master Lu said hurriedly.
"Oh." Wang Yao nodded. No wonder Master Lu hadn't mentioned the help Shuangliu City needed to him. It seemed that Master Lu was just a middleman, and the real person in charge of the city was actually hiding on the island waiting for him.
Pushing open the door, Wang Yao was astonished to find that the not-so-spacious main room was crammed with more than a dozen divine generals, the highest-ranking of whom was actually a demon god. Without exception, they were all goddesses, a large group of beautiful women, who immediately surrounded Wang Yao upon seeing him.
When more than a dozen goddesses spoke at the same time, it was incredibly noisy. Wang Yao had to exert a great deal of effort, and with Master Lu's help to explain and communicate, until he was sweating profusely, before he finally understood what these goddesses were trying to say.
It turns out that almost all the divine generals who had stayed in the northern part of the Divine Realm before the Battle of Thousand Sails Port came to Shuangliu City after the great calamity.
After the great calamity, the city lord of Shuangliu City, also known as the Demon God, ordered his subordinates to go out and search for survivors. During this time, they went through countless battles, and now almost all the survivors have entered the city.
When Wang Yao's vanguard arrived, they saw their fellow gods and were about to go out to greet them. However, at the last minute, their opinions diverged. The main reason was that Wang Yao's vanguard was too weak, and they had deep doubts about whether this army came from the Unyielding Divine Realm.
In particular, most of the more than 10,000 soldiers in the vanguard were rat demons. A divine general had fought against the invading demon army before and knew that there were many demon experts in the demon army. Therefore, he was even more afraid that this army was a bait for the demons to lure them out so that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
After intense discussion, everyone decided to prioritize safety. All the divine soldiers and generals hid on the island, and Lu Ban, a master of puppetry with a companion puppet, was asked to come out and test the strength of Wang Yao's army.
Wang Yao then informed the divine generals about the events surrounding the Battle of Thousand Sails Harbor and the divine realm's response. In particular, the news that the Lord of Reclaiming the Sea had returned to the Reclaiming the Sea Divine Realm greatly excited the divine generals.
What followed was another round of noisy chatter. The two sides spent most of the day on it, mainly because the goddess's side talked too much. But they finally managed to reach an agreement with Wang Yao on a series of specific arrangements for the follow-up work before he went berserk.
First, Hui Shuo led the divine generals out of the city to meet with Wei Zheng and Zhang Liang. With the city lord of Shuangliu City, that evil god, as the main force and Wang Yao's side as the auxiliary force, they reorganized and equipped the divine soldiers in the city.
It is estimated that the total number of divine soldiers in Shuangliu City may exceed 100,000. However, the affiliation of these divine soldiers is extremely chaotic, and their equipment is incomplete. Shuangliu City originally had a military warehouse, but it was unfortunately submerged by a flood. However, the divine army's combat relies heavily on equipment enhancements.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to reorganize the divine soldiers and generals in Shuangliu City, equip them, and form a fighting force as soon as possible. Although this matter is being handled by the more than ten divine generals of Shuangliu City, and with the assistance of the city's divine citizens and Master Lu's puppets, it is still an extremely troublesome matter.
Wang Yao needs to send someone to assist him, but of course, it would be better to just leave this matter to Zhang Liang.
Another issue is food. Before the great calamity, Shuangliu City had a certain amount of food reserves, but after the calamity, the number of people in the city increased greatly. With the reserves being depleted, despite strict control over food consumption, the city will run out of food within a few days if nothing unexpected happens.
Moreover, since the great calamity, the refugees in the city have never had enough to eat. In particular, in the past few days, the food reserves have been running low, and the daily food distribution has been even less. Some of the people have already starved and are in urgent need of help.
The city originally planned to send generals to search for food supplies in other nearby cities, but Wang Yao's army has arrived, which has delayed everyone's search for food. Therefore, it would be best if the army could provide some food relief to the city.
Wang Yao had encountered this problem many times along the way and had already figured it out in his mind. So he immediately ordered Zhang Liang to deduct one day's worth of food from the army's rations and give up the rest. At the same time, he notified the rear that the next shipment of grain needed to be increased to Shuangliu City.
As for Master Lu, since the divine soldiers and generals who were originally responsible for maintaining order in the city and handling various matters were busy with reorganization and equipment, he selected some capable divine citizens from among the refugees to take over all matters in the city.
In no time, various tasks were quickly arranged in Shuangliu City and among the army. All the managers, big and small, were busy running around and having a great time. Wang Yao, on the other hand, had nothing to do and just followed Master Lu to watch the excitement.
Even though 100,000 divine soldiers were dispatched from Shuangliu City, there were still millions of divine people remaining. Therefore, even if Wang Yao took out almost all of the army's food, he still could not guarantee the food supply for every refugee.
Master Lu and his team first arranged for the city children to have a full meal. Then they calculated when the remaining food would arrive and planned to redistribute the food according to the principle of decreasing the amount for children, goddesses, and gods in that order.
Although the city's food supply is still not abundant and cannot guarantee that everyone will have enough to eat at every meal until more food arrives, the situation has improved considerably compared to before. In particular, the food supply is now guaranteed, and people are looking forward to a few days when they can live a little less frugal.
However, a dispute arose when determining the food rations, because some goddesses believed that they did not need to receive preferential treatment. At least in the Divine Realm of Reclaiming the Sea, their status was higher than that of the male gods, so food should be distributed according to the decreasing standard of children, male gods, and goddesses.
