Chapter 229 Nield's Food Crisis
“What kind of messed up gameplay?
You might as well let them quickly master the flying skills, drive the [Flying Eye] to rush to the half-dragons and deal with them!
Anyway, these broken balls of yours are worthless. If they are wiped out a few more times, this team will be able to fight, right?
Why do you want me to stay here as a consultant? Do you know that Lati is still waiting for me in the Haze Forest?
How can I have so much time to play games with you and the kids?"
The skinny elf wizard tapped the table with his fingers.
The old bootlicker, who was originally full of enthusiasm for studying [Flying Eyes], became extremely unhappy when he heard that Ivan wanted him to stay in Nield.
"Old licker, the tactical strategy of drones is very complicated, and our [Flying Eye] is an all-weather amphibious drone!
Reconnaissance, monitoring, search and rescue, and bombing are all combat missions that drone swarms can perform.
But look, there are only a few people now?
Thirty! Only thirty!
Can we kill ten thousand half-dragons with just thirty [Flying Eyes]?
If we don't turn these thirty people into the best pilots and let them start to think and create new tactics, we won't even have a real battle group!"
After finishing the selection of [Flying Eye] drone pilots, Ivan was discussing the training plan for this new type of force with Leia.
The two of them actually have quite a big disagreement.
Leia is quite interested in technology and magic, but when it comes to team building and macro development, Ivan feels like he is simply talking to a wall.
"Mr. Ivan! Mr. Ivan!"
The halfling Annie ran in hurriedly from outside, followed by the blonde girl Liz Tomba.
"What's wrong, Annie? Aren't you training with those new recruits?"
That’s right, although Annie, the Paladin in Maid Costume, is already a professional with considerable strength;
But after the third round of selection was completed yesterday, the little guy insisted on joining the driver training.
"Huh? Both teachers are not here, what are we training for?
Let’s not talk about this anymore, Mr. Ivan, Nield is going to be cut off from food!”
Ivan glanced at the blonde girl who was following him and asked in confusion.
"Ah? Isn't the riot crisis in Nield over?
Sir River has already set out to Shining City to find Shuman, and I guess the two of them are probably chatting now.
How could there be a food shortage?"
Liz sensed the meaning of the powerful human's inquiry, bowed, and helped Annie explain.
"That's right, Lord Ivan.
Although Nield's own food trade has always been provided by Tomba, the process is very complicated.
The officials of Huiyao City will first purchase food from Tomba, and then the official transport team will transport it to Nield..."
"And Nield filled the bags of the unloaded grain with iron ore after the transports arrived.
Sir River will escort these transport teams back to Radiant City to distribute the ore."
Annie took over the conversation and roughly completed the entire path that Nield took to obtain food.
"But before the riots, the official transport team had not come for a long time..."
Alvin, whose mind was now full of training plans, didn't think this was a problem.
"Then why don't you ask Liz to directly transfer a batch of food from the Tomba family?
Haven’t you already decided to skip the middleman and do the transaction directly?..."
"It's not that simple, Lord Ivan."
The blonde girl moved closer, and her slightly mean lips reminded Ivan of the Britannians on the blue planet.
“Neild’s access is actually quite troublesome.
This type of suspended ladder has no way for a carriage to travel on it, so only the official transport team of Huiyao City can transport large amounts of supplies up and down it."
"Clam?!
Why? They can fly too?"
"Uh... that's not the case...
They have a group of magic pockets—space magic pockets.”
At this moment, Alvin finally understood where the problem lay.
"Space pocket! Ah, I want one too..."
Lian, who was watching her brother-in-law nearby, had been unable to participate in the discussion between Leia and Ivan - it was a little hard for her to understand.
But she understood the words "space pocket".
"Don't interrupt!"
After pushing the intruding loli back, Alvin looked at Annie and Liz again.
It’s strange to say, during the previous peace talks, these two were still at loggerheads;
Now they are as close as two sisters...Judging from the height difference, they should be as close as godmother and goddaughter.
Regardless of whether there was anything complicated between the two women, an idea quickly flashed through Ivan's mind.
"If... I mean if, there is a platform that can go up and down from the bottom of Nield's pit to the top of the pit, can this problem be solved?"
“Uh…Sir Ivan, that’s true.
But what you said is a bit... not so magical...
Even a legendary wizard might not be able to transport so many supplies..."
"No magic? That's right!
This thing has nothing to do with magic!
Let's go find Daryl!"
……
Huiyao City, Xiuman’s private residence.
Ruiwo was drinking black tea with Xiuman Huiyao in the familiar study.
"Sir River, are you saying that the riot in Nield was resolved peacefully?"
River, who was somewhat afraid of Shuman, still looked trembling with fear.
Although he believed that Shuman might not be Ivan's opponent, the person he was loyal to would be a strong guarantee for his future fight against Shuman.
But now, if this guy suddenly attacks, wouldn’t it be the end of me...
Therefore, River Sifu, who knew the limits and followed his heart, chose to continue to follow his heart.
"Yes, Master Xiuman... It's a pity that the Faceless Team you entrusted to me..."
“That’s not important, River.
I had originally planned to let you take advantage of the war between Tomba and Nield and take back control of Nield;
But this is not bad, after all, the result is the same..."
Xiuman took a sip of the black tea. Today, he didn't put lavender in it, but instead the special spices that the previous guest from the royal capital brought from the south.
"Yes, this way the amount of crystals you can get every month will not change."
In order to protect Ivan, Ruiwo, who is more sensitive to politics, chose to conceal the fact that Ivan became the actual controller.
He knew very well that even with Toumba's help, Ivan would have the political power to fight against Radiant City;
But once he is noticed by those old guys in the royal capital, Ivan will be eaten to pieces.
"is it?"
Xiuman raised the teacup again, and his lips covered by the teacup became a little gloomy.
"That's really great..."
