Chapter 726 Hope and Bad News
After the meeting, representatives from all parties couldn't wait to leave the house and convey the good news they had just received back to the country. Lilith reminded Rob to pay attention to Merlin, and then quietly left the venue with the people from the Magicians Association, leaving the room for the two.
"When are you going to set off?" After everyone left, Lolo leaned his head against someone's chest and closed his eyes. As the situation continued to deteriorate, the two of them had their own missions and their time was getting shorter and shorter. Therefore, Lolo now cherishes the short time of each encounter.
"It's going to be two days later." Rob touched the girl's hair and said softly, "I have a premonition that the final battle will soon come. I need to be prepared before that."
"I told President Lilith about the cultivation method of the Force, but others are different from me. They don't have the Force virus on them. It will take at least a few years to understand the Force. President Lilith has already begun to select qualified children, but they may not be able to help in a short period of time." Lolo sighed, "I thought I had become stronger and no longer could only stand aside and worry about you like in the past, but in the end I still couldn't help you."
"What you are doing is already amazing. If you hadn't found a way to close those abyss cracks, the casualties on humans would have increased by at least one million more, and I wouldn't have freed to prepare for the next battle."
"Will they really come? Didn't you say before that President Leonardo da Vinci and Steinz can kill the guy named Pargos, which can deter those things? The more you have an endless lifespan, the more afraid of death." Lolo repeated someone's half sentence.
"Yes, those things are cautious by nature, so the next time they appear before us will definitely not be just an enemy, but a group of enemies."
"One...a group?!" Luo Luo thought of the hundreds of light pillars in the secret treasure world, and his scalp was numb. She couldn't imagine anyone who could compete with so many gods with her own strength.
However, the man in front of her seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and said softly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." After that, Rob lowered his head and kissed the corner of the girl's eyes.

Lilith walked out of the conference room door and met Prime Minister Pushkin outside, who stood by the door, and seemed to be waiting for her.
It was obvious that he hadn't seen each other for a few minutes, but Pushkin's face changed drastically. He tried all his strength to control his body from trembling, but the sweat beads on his forehead still betrayed his inner panic.
Lilith's heart suddenly sank. Pushkin has been in the position of Prime Minister of the Lion Heart Empire for more than 20 years. He is a very mature politician. In theory, it should be his basic cultivation. In other words, his current appearance also means that he has encountered very difficult problems.
Lilith closed the door behind her, "Don't bother Cun, let's go to the other side to say."
Pushkin nodded, suppressed the panic in his heart, and followed Lilith, and the two went down to a lounge on the second floor.
As soon as Push Kwang entered the door, he spoke, "I just received bad news that Kaiyan City was captured by those monsters."
"What?" Lilith was shocked. Kaiyan City was the first heroic city in the north. It was once the capital of the Black Dragon Dynasty. It was known as the fortress. The city walls were stronger than the New Tert. In addition, there were 40,000 troops in the city. In addition, the two troops cruising around to sweep monsters nearby, they could quickly raise more than 150,000 armed forces in half a day.
This level of guard should not fall no matter how you look at it, but looking at Pushkin's appearance doesn't look like a joke.
"Because I was worried about food security, I started to mobilize two months ago. Only one month's food was left in the northern towns. All the remaining food was sent to Kaiyan City, including a batch of supplies to support the Holy Alliance, which have now been burned to ashes." Pushkin's face showed a tragic smile.
"What?!" Lilith lost her voice. She finally understood why Pushkin was so indifferent.
Because Kaiyan City is strong and safe enough, it was chosen as a granary by Pushkin. Unexpectedly, it was the most unlikely place to happen first. Kaiyan City was attacked and revealed the atmosphere of conspiracy from head to toe. The monsters' style of conduct has always given up on big towns and specializes in harassing small towns and villages, killing humans as much as possible and destroying production. However, this time it was abnormal, and no one expected that they would target Kaiyan City.
"How could they know that the food and grass in the north are concentrated in Kaiyan City?" This is the question that Lilith couldn't understand the most.
"Church of Patience." Pushkin almost squeezed out these four words from his teeth. "This attack has a lot to do with them. The monsters that had been dispersed suddenly gathered in Kaiyan City and took less than a quarter of an hour to capture the South Gate. There was their shadow behind it."
Lilith sighed. The situation she was most worried about was still happening. After the church stood on the side of humans, some others took over the previous work of the temple and were willing to become the lackeys of the gods. With these insiders sneaked in to collect intelligence, the monsters no longer attacked blindly, but became organized and purposeful, which made them more difficult to deal with.
But those monsters are a story after all, and there is a more serious problem in front of the two of them. There is only one month left for food in the northern towns. The famine in the Holy Alliance has begun to spread, and large areas of disaster victims have fallen. Their hope for survival is all on the subsequent batch of rescue supplies, but just now, these things were burned out.
"I transferred two floating turrets to rush over, and I could take back the city in just one day."
"It's useless. Even if I can get it back, it's just an empty city." Lilith tried her best to calm herself down, but she didn't have any good solutions in the current situation. The food problem is a cliché. Everyone knows what those things want to do but are still powerless. This is also the most powerless place. The food problem is getting worse and worse. In the past, there is still time for them to think about the response plan, but this time it's really time to get out of ammunition and food.
No wonder even the old Prime Minister Pushkin is a little out of control.
"Didn't you collect food with elves and dwarves before? What's the result?"
Pushkin shook his head, "I raised the price, which is nearly three times the market price, but they don't seem to want to get involved in the war between us and the gods. The royal family issued a ban on sales and could only buy food through smuggling channels among the people, but the quantity is limited. If it really reaches a last resort, we may have to give up a part of the population." (s:)
