Chapter 150 Food Crisis
The Amazon Empire always watched the Pope's army every move. When the Pope's withdrawal was heard, the news spread back immediately.
When the news of the withdrawal of the Pope's army reached Lansca, several giants of the Amazon Empire immediately gathered together.
Alice said to Lenas: "Empress, why do you think their withdrawal this time? Is it the papal state's plan to lure the enemy or the gift from Prince Ao Lie to us?"
Annie smiled and said, "It must be Ao Lie who helped us, otherwise, the morale of the Pope is now full of rainbows and the battlefield situation is also developing in a direction that is beneficial to them. They have no reason to withdraw their troops now."
Lenas also smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too. It must be Mr. Ao Lie who helped us to force us to retreat from the Pope's troops. Give us time to prepare for war, and also give us time to improve our respective strengths."
Just as everyone was talking, Lana said outside the door: "Empress, elders, princess, young master Ao Lie and Miss Diandian are back."
After hearing Lana's words, Lenas immediately smiled and said, "Please invite Mr. Ao Lie and Miss Diandian to come here."
At the invitation of Lana, Ao Lie and Diandian walked into Lenas' room.
"Hello, elders, all the elders, I wonder what you have to ask us to come?"
"Ao Lie, Diandian, we just received information about the withdrawal of the Pope's troops. I wonder if it is related to you?" Anne asked happily.
Ao Lie smiled and said, "Haha, there is a small matter. In fact, we just went around the camp of the Pope. We are your good friends, but we haven't done anything for you after we came here. So, I discussed with Diandian and went out for a walk."
After hearing Ao Lie's words, Renas and several elders immediately said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Ao Lie, Miss Diandian."
"Anne, guess how did I let the Pope's powerful troops stop and return home?" Ao Lie said proudly.
"Tsk, there are so many demigods under your command. It's not easy to force a million troops to withdraw troops? Give it to me, and I can do it." Anne said disdainfully.
Ao Lie was speechless and stared at Annie with wide eyes.
"Isn't it?"
Ao Lie smiled bitterly and said, "In your eyes, I only know how to solve problems by force."
Annie smiled, "It seems you used some new tricks this time."
"That's right, this time I emptied the granary of their million-strong army. Without food security, they would not be able to continue fighting, so they naturally had to withdraw their troops!" Ao Lie said.
"By the way, I heard that your imperial army has not much food anymore. This time I got the enemy's millions of troops for two months of food. These are useless to me, so I will give them all to you!"
The battlefield where the Papal Kingdom was fighting was in the Amazon Empire, and the constant battles turned some fertile fields into wastelands.
The Amazon Empire's food relies on a little reserve before the war. Now, the food in the Amazon Empire has also been in a hurry. The batch of food sent by Ao Lie is definitely a timely help.
Queen Lenas said happily: "Now our Amazon Empire is short of food. You send this batch of food to ease the shortage of food in our empire, so I am not polite to you, so I will accept that batch of food."
Ao Lie looked at Lenas' expression and asked, "It seems that the gap in food in your empire is still very large?"
Renas sighed and said, "Oh, I'm going to tell you, our Amazon Empire didn't store much food, and now we are constantly fighting, and the food consumption is even more serious. So to be honest, we don't have much food at all now. In order to deal with the Pope, we invited the three major races of the Berserkers, Cyclops and Barbarians to join forces to fight against the war. Their three tribes each brought a large army of 100,000, and the food consumption of their 300,000 troops was more than that of the millions of Amazon warriors in our Amazon Empire. When they came to help, we couldn't let them bring their own food. In this way, our food consumption was even more severe. Therefore, there was not much left in our empire."
After Lenas finished speaking, Alice added: "The other subhumans are not good at farming than our Amazons. In the past, their lives were maintained by purchasing a large amount of food from our empire every year. Therefore, instead of not only can we buy much food from other channels, we consume more than usual."
Lenas continued, "Yes, although the human empire has stored a lot of food, they are going to war with us, and they cannot sell it to us. In fact, if there is no such batch of food, our empire will be almost on the verge of collapse."
When Ao Lie heard this, he knew the seriousness of the situation. He said seriously: "Even if I have brought so much new food, it is just a drop in the bucket. It is not enough for you to last. It seems that you still have to think of a solution."
The queen and her elders all nodded, and the atmosphere at the scene was very solemn.
Annie said anxiously to Ao Lie, "Ao Lie, you have to think of a solution for us."
"Yes," Ao Lie responded.
He thought that it would be difficult to buy a huge amount of food in a short time. The surrounding small countries will definitely not be able to produce it. Although the Pope has a lot of food, it is probably unrealistic to collect it in a very short time. Even if it takes a lot of effort to get it, it is afraid that the distance water cannot save the near fire.
Ao Lie pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered the plane merchant from his space ring, "Isn't it easy to buy some ordinary food from them?"
"Okay, let me handle the food matter!" Ao Lie said. Although he didn't have many gold coins in his hand, after this period of development in the taboo space, Ao Lie has also seized a lot of magic cores and equipment and other spoils at the Saint level. These things should be taken out casually and the amount of food should be very considerable.
When Lenas and the four elders saw Ao Lie agreeing, they suddenly felt that they had cleared the dark clouds and saw the blue sky. They immediately came up and said thankfully: "Thank you, Mr. Ao Lie, we don't know how to thank you anymore. You are really our noble person. After coming, our Amazon Empire has been doing good things all the time!"
"This is what I should do, and you don't have to thank me. Okay, I'll give you the food I got this time first!"
After hearing Ao Lie's words, Linda immediately said to Ao Lie: "Young Master Ao Lie, please come with me." After that, Linda immediately took Ao Lie to the granary in Lansca City.
Looking at the almost empty granary in Lansca City, Ao Lie couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that the situation in the Amazon Empire is really bad.
Linda blushed and said, "Young Master Ao Lie, if it weren't for you, our soldiers would really go hungry."
Ao Lie felt a little sad. He comforted Linda and said, "I will raise a lot of food for you in a short period of time. Don't worry about food. After you go back, take advantage of the Pope's withdrawal and the subsequent troops have not arrived yet to absorb the fruit of the Death Fruit and the Fruit of Life to improve their strength. At that time, when the Pope's troops arrive, we can give them a Jedi counterattack."
After saying that, Ao Lie immediately poured all the grain stored in his storage bracelet into the granary. The space bracelet has a lot of grain for two months. With so much grain, Ao Lie filled several large granaries, and then it was empty.
