Chapter 952: Chapter 242: Bloody Battle at Huangzhou Prefecture, Fiery Fire Assists Xiong City
Beast Tide, I have no idea what Ultimate Skill Elder Quan has mastered.
But he can control these fierce beasts with sound, and upon hearing it, their eyes turn blood red. It’s as if they’ve lost their senses and only know to charge forward blindly.
Seeing this, Chen Jie was very surprised. He didn’t expect such a terrifying Beast Taming Technique to exist in this world.
As he thought this, the White Tiger, which was originally lying beside Chen Jie, shook its head, seemingly affected by the sound.
However, as the Tiger King, he quickly reacted and stood up, intending to roar in resistance.
A tiger, the king of all beasts, will not be bullied by the likes of you!
But just at that moment, a large hand blocked the White Tiger. For more chapters visıt ⓝovelFire.net
Seeing this, the White Tiger looked at Chen Jie with confusion. Chen Jie said, “Stay calm.”
At this moment, they must escape quietly without making noise. With this thought, Chen Jie led the White Tiger to hide in a nearby thicket, where the old man they rescued was also hiding. The group stayed concealed.
Meanwhile, Elder Quan was busy controlling the beast herd and didn’t notice Chen Jie’s group hidden in the grass.
Thus, he directed countless fierce beasts toward the Huangzhou Prefecture, intending to conquer it!
With the army’s immediate departure, watching the vast beast army, Chen Jie was quite concerned. These monsters have astounding destructive power, with many surpassing Energy Transformation level, including not a few Holding Core Realm ones. And given their sheer number, the Huangzhou Prefecture’s defensive military is in real danger this time.
Thinking this, he saw Elder Quan leave with the army.
Seeing Elder Quan depart, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Beside him, Xiao Hu’s muscles were tense, clearly ready to fight, perhaps due to Elder Quan’s Beast Taming technique triggering it.
Chen Jie consoled Xiao Hu and promptly led it to the nearby grain warehouse.
Upon arrival, Chen Jie realized just how enormous the grain warehouse truly was.
A towering granary reaching the clouds, the grain stored here far exceeds a mere fifty tons.
The Zoroastrian Sect has been operating here for so long, using all means to hoard grain in preparation for war. Besides the grain from the official granary, they forcibly took grain from the people’s hands, leading to a severe shortage in Huangzhou Prefecture, originally sufficient for the residents.
Yet here, a massive stockpile of over two million tons has been amassed.
This grain is enough to sustain them for a year-long battle, while Huangzhou Prefecture faces many threats, likely unable to gather enough war provisions!
At that time, the Zoroastrian Sect doesn’t even need to win; they only need to wage a protracted war, and Huangzhou Prefecture will inevitably be defeated.
Because the people have no grain left in their hands and Huangzhou Prefecture can’t provide disaster relief grain, as soon as the Zoroastrian Sect waves their hand and says: “Anyone who joins our Zoroastrian Sect will receive fifty pounds of grain,” no doubt there will be a mad rush, and the people will frantically come to seize grain to eat.
All for a mouthful of food, for survival, the people would have no choice but to join the Zoroastrian Sect, thus forming a refugee tide.
At that point, tens of thousands of refugees will be displaced, and the government won’t be able to do anything!
So this situation is quite troublesome indeed.
Thinking this, Chen Jie glanced at the White Tiger beside him, who didn’t understand these matters, raising its Tiger Head and looking around.
Seeing the guarding soldiers, there weren’t many, suggesting that the main army had all gone to Huangzhou Prefecture to prepare for the siege.
Chen Jie quietly backed down, not attacking here for a simple reason: attacking would accomplish little, as Chen Jie is alone. Moving two million tons of grain is simply a fantasy.
If he can’t transport the grain, killing a few people for a momentary emotional release would be utterly pointless!
Chen Jie turned and left the area, but he had to dodge the beast army. Along the way, he watched as the beast army marched in grand procession straight toward Huangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Jie followed for a while, noticing that the entire Huangzhou Prefecture was already alight with Wolf Smoke; the people’s lives had become unbearably difficult.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jie couldn’t help but feel compassion.
Soon, Chen Jie arrived at the Mianshui territory.
Mianshui County had the entire city under martial law. Chen Jie visited Xiantao Village, where, after being flooded, a new village had been constructed on higher ground.
However, upon returning, Chen Jie found no one in the village.
He was pondering this when suddenly, someone lifted a cast iron pot from a house and gazed thoughtfully at Chen Jie’s back.
Ever since entering the Wolf Smoke Realm, Chen Jie’s sensory perception had evolved considerably, and at this moment, he abruptly felt movement behind him and swiftly turned his head, just in time to see someone retracting their head back under the iron pot.
Seeing this, Chen Jie was momentarily stunned. What’s going on?
Thinking this, he quickly strode over, arriving at the large pot and reached out to lift it. Inside, there was a hearth pit, which looked untouched.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jie frowned. What’s the situation?
Immediately, Chen Jie reacted, waving his hand, and the tail end of his Fire Dragon Spear appeared in his hand. He tapped the hearthstone board underneath several times, saying: “I know you’re in there, come out.”
Hearing this, silence ensued.
Chen Jie said, “Do I have to break this hearthstone board? It’s alright, it’s me, Chen Jiusi.”
