This name seemed to have some strange power, causing everyone present to shudder just by hearing it.
In the past, the word "famine" may have simply represented a disaster, because natural disasters or man-made disasters caused a large number of people to suffer from hunger, but now it has a different meaning.
The Sword Master seemed to be lost in some memories or thoughts. The anxious people in the hall waited for a while but did not see the Sword Master move again. They called him twice but there was no response and did not dare to disturb him any more. They could not help but start to discuss things.
"It has been confirmed that someone has opened the door to darkness. Although 'Famine' is terrifying, I am more worried that this is just the beginning."
The bishop of the city-state of Fanit saw the expression on the sword master's face and felt the strange phenomenon just now, and he knew that he was about to face something extraordinary, so he was the first to stand up and speak.
Lord Fanet also agreed.
"That's right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. I will personally go to several allied city-states to lobby and request them to jointly initiate a city-state parliament. Regardless... regardless of whether the 'yellow-gray demon' appeared because of the Qinggeli Empire, we must definitely prepare for the worst!"
He hesitated for a moment and still didn't dare to say the name "famine".
"Then we will work together with Bishop Neillo to find a solution for the church. I should also go back to the Holy Mountain to meet the Archbishop."
Leyte came out to set an example after making eye contact with the bishop.
Just from the intelligence they had learned about the frequent actions of the Qinggele Empire in the previous period of time, it was enough to arouse vigilance, not to mention now, the Sword Master’s worries that night have almost begun to become a reality.
Qin Xiaoxia originally wanted to fan it a little more, but now it seems unnecessary.
The combination of the scout's description and the living fossil's description of the swordsman Degni the night before has frightened everyone, so everyone is getting excited.
A military officer in charge of the security of Fanit City looked at several scouts.
"You mentioned before that the merchants who witnessed it said that before they saw the yellow-gray demon, a mysterious voice reminded them that the disaster was coming and warned them that smoke and flames were weapons. Did they try it? What was the effect?"
This is a key point that cannot be ignored. As scouts, they will naturally not make professional mistakes.
The scout who kept the wooden box swallowed.
"Someone from the Kingdom of Lensogt tried it...but the result was..."
The scout gave a brief description: Somewhere in the Kingdom of Lensogt, someone started a fire and created thick smoke in an attempt to stop the terrible tide of disaster.
But except for a few cases where it has some effect, most of the time it will anger the yellow-gray demons and cause those people to be eaten.
Especially at night, the fire is like a bright lamp. Countless terrifying demons turn into black clouds in the sky and fly towards the direction of the fire. Often, no matter how big the fire is, it will be put out by the demons in just a blink of an eye.
Even Qin Xiaoxia was a little surprised that the locusts would still fly towards the fire in the dark night. However, these evolved locusts were strong and the fire could be easily covered by their overwhelming presence, which would immediately anger the insect tide.
Although the scouts tried to downplay the horror of the devoured population and livestock, as well as the endless farmland and greenery, their words still made one shudder.
"That is to say... although the flames and smoke were effective, they were not effective enough, or the method they used was wrong..."
"If we have to face the devil in the future, do we want to try it?"
"Would something more intense be more effective?"
"No, no! If we anger the demons, we will all be in trouble..."
After a few arguments here, they heard the Sword Master mumbling something.
"We don't have enough strength..."
He finally put down the insect shell in his hand, raised his head and looked at the people who immediately fell silent because of his action.
"We are not strong enough! Or if the disastrous consequences continue to worsen, our strength will sooner or later fail! I have experienced that era, and the yellow-gray demons are only the beginning, not the end!"
At this time, the sunlight outside moved with the movement of the Solar Star, shining obliquely through a window of the Council Hall, and a ray of light just happened to shine on the palm of the outstretched right hand of the Sword Saint Degni.
"We need help!! Since someone can call upon evil, then..."
The Sword Master shifted his gaze from the light in his palm to the people around him.
"As long as we have that kind of token! That kind of gem token that emits dazzling brilliance! Then we can also call for light!!"
No one present was a fool. As soon as the Sword Master finished speaking, almost everyone thought of something the Sword Master had said that night.
Regarding that world where light and darkness are in opposition, there are countless powerful and strange special worlds, which are also very likely to be the source of disasters and famines.
"What should we do?"
"That kind of crystal!! Lord Leit once heard rumors about it in the Qinggeli Empire!!"
"Are there any more?" "There must be some!!"
"Send spies!! Send the most capable scouts, or find merchants!!" "Yes! Any method!!"
Compared to the suggestions made by some sword masters just now, the atmosphere in the venue was obviously much more excited.
Qin Xiaoxia smiled faintly in his heart.
After going around in such a long circle, we can finally get to the point and start to develop it. As long as this side also follows his script, it will be more secure.
'After all, both sides of the opposition are what guide the Earth's forces in!'
…
It was a few days later that rumors of the yellow-gray devil began to spread throughout all city-states of the City-State United Kingdom. Because of its special system, this country is the most active country for businessmen, and rumors of natural disasters that use businessmen as the source of information also have a wide range of soil for dissemination here.
The content of this story was inevitably exaggerated when passed on by word of mouth among merchants. The swarm of alienated locusts was indeed terrifying, but according to their rumors, the most exaggerated version was simply swallowing up the world.
Coupled with the "world disaster" that had been heard before, the lords of several city-states neighboring the city-state of Fanit became somewhat restless.
They sent people to contact the city-state of Fanit, hoping to learn more, and soon afterward they naturally invested their own forces out of fear and precautions.
Whether it was the possibility of horrific disasters or the increasingly frequent and strange actions within the Qinggele Empire, the surrounding forces had to be prepared for prevention.
At the same time, Paladin Leit, the bishop of the Fanit City-State Church, and the Sword Saint Degni himself, along with the accompanying church guards and priests, headed towards the Holy Mountain of the Church of Light.
As the most powerful force in the world, this time we must convince the complacent faction in Holy Mountain who are unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Of course, elite spies and scouts sent to the Qinggele Empire and its surrounding areas are also indispensable, and each of them has signed a life and death agreement.
The purpose is neither assassination nor destruction, the only goal is to find and obtain at least one crystal accessory.
