After eating a packet of potato chips, Dorothy remembered her mission.

　　 She sighed and said, "This mission is doomed to fail, and I don't know how the teacher will punish me."

　　 Mia said: "Dorothy, then don't go back. I understand the teacher. As long as you don't go back, this matter will pass."

　　 Dorothy shook his head: "No way, Mia, I have to go back. If I don't go back to the royal city, I have to go back to the tribe... You probably don't know? The locust plague is here!"

　　 locust plague!

　　 Mia and Mi Wei's face changed when they heard these two words.

　　 "The autumn harvest will begin soon, and there will be a locust plague at this time!"

　　Mi Wei said.

　　 "What locust plague?"

　　 At this time, Richard came in.

　　 Dorothy looked at Richard, but his eyes lit up slightly, because Richard's image was really good.

She said: "The big locust plague, some people say that the **** of disaster is angry and has brought the plague of locusts. Now the plague of locusts has swept across the north and is about to go south. All the tribes are rushing to harvest food. The food is not fully mature yet. How many, I don’t know how many people are going to starve to death."

　　The tribes of the orc kingdom are also growing food, but their planting techniques are even lower and the output is very low.

　　 Now encountering a locust plague, I have to grab the food before it is mature, and the yield of immature food is lower.

　　 Richard's expression became serious.

　　 He was not considering the issue of how many people starved to death in the orc kingdom.

　　 No matter which world, all kinds of disasters are constant, and he is not the savior, nor can he save the world.

　　 What he considered was that once a locust plague happened, it would mean a great famine.

　　 Great Famine Richard is actually not afraid, because he can buy enough food from a certain treasure.

　　 But the Great Famine means chaos to the world.

　　 When the time comes, there must be horse thieves and robbers everywhere.

　　 People do everything when there is no food.

　　 "Will the locust plague spread over?"

　　 Li Cha asked.

　　 Dorothy nodded, and said, "I heard the teacher said it will definitely be! But it should be about a month before coming over!"

After speaking, Dorothy looked at Mia and said: "So recently the goblins have been moving constantly. You killed the hobgoblins to arouse the king's anger. Because the king depends on the goblins, they can exchange food with the dark elves underground. At least the royal family’s food supply can be guaranteed."

Chapter 0036 Crisis and Opportunity! Free sword!

　　 "A month?"

　　 Richard thought.

　　 Under the locust plague, a great famine broke out. It is estimated that horse thieves and robbers will be everywhere in a short time.

　　 Fortunately, the news is received earlier and there is still buffer time.

　　 In addition, the city wall has been repaired. Although it is only six meters high, six meters is not too low.

　　 is as high as two towers.

　　 "You have to add more."

　　 Richard was going to take the opportunity to add a little more to the city wall, and it would be a big deal to make it impossible to stand on it.

　　 It's useless for someone to use a ladder, because it's up...can't get down.

　　 Besides, the average horse thief doesn't have such a high ladder.

　　 Although there is a crisis, it is also an opportunity for Richard.

　　 That is, maybe you can take this opportunity to expand the population of the territory.

　　 The population of the territory is still a bit too small. There are only two thousand people. The number is too small to form an army.

　　 In the past few days, Richard has continued to expand his territory army, and he has only expanded the number of his army by more than a hundred.

　　 In Richard's opinion, it's too little.

　　 Among a hundred people, a total of more than a dozen people with archery talents were selected. Richard gave them bows and asked them to practice archery.

　　 Then Richard chose another thirty people and distributed crossbows to them.

　　 Although the crossbow is labor-saving, it cannot replace the bow.

　　The simplest point is that the bow can be used to project, but the crossbow is not effective for projecting.

　　 Like when defending the city, the city gate is closed, and the bow and arrow can be shot at the sky outside the city gate to reach those rushing over.

　　If you throw it with a crossbow, the effect is poor.

　　 Crossbow is more suitable for direct shooting!

　　This is related to arrows. Bows and arrows are very long, but crossbows are relatively short.

　　 But if the crossbow arrow is made longer, its power will be affected. For the same reason, if the bow arrow is made shorter, it will not work!

　　This time, there were a lot of victims in the great famine, so Richard could bring in a lot of victims and expand the population.

　　Only when the population of the territory is larger, can it prosper even more.

　　 But there are also crises.

　　 Once he knows that Richard has food in his hands, there must be a large stock of horse thieves who will come to beat Richard’s idea.

　　 "We must speed up the progress of repairing the city, and in addition, we must expand the army."

　　 Richard thought.

　　 While Richard was thinking, Mia was still fading with Dorothy.

　　 Dorothy insisted on going back to his tribe. Because of the impact of the locust plague, the food production in the orc kingdom was severely reduced, and it must be quite chaotic by then.

　　 The war between the tribe and the tribe does not know how many wars will happen!

　　Some tribes have no food, and they will definitely grab food from other tribes.

　　 Dorothy was about to return to his tribe.

　　 She has been trained since she was a child, and it is estimated that she can be regarded as the most powerful warrior in the tribe.

　　 "I can't convince you."

　　 Seeing Dorothy insisting on insisting, Mia stopped persuading her.

　　 "Mia, take care, when I go back, I will say you are dead!"

　　 Dorothy finished speaking and was about to leave.

"and many more."

　　 Richard stopped her.

　　 Dorothy turned her head and looked at Richard.

Richard took out a dagger that he bought at a shop specializing in swords in a certain treasure for more than two thousand yuan, and said, "This sword will be sharper. I will give it to you. In addition, if you encounter it later When it is difficult, you can come to me."

　　 Dorothy glanced at the dagger that Richard took out, and was immediately attracted.

　　 In fact, Mia next to her was also attracted.

　　 Mia has been recuperating these days, and Richard has not changed her weapon yet.

　　 Both of them are quite excellent fighters. Based on their knowledge of weapons, it is natural to see that the short swords that Richard took out are quite sharp, and I don't know how many times better than the ones they used before.

　　Fox-ear lady Dorothy took the dagger, and slashed at her dagger.

　　 The two swords meet each other.

　　 saw that her original sword had been cut with a big gap, but the short sword that Richard gave was undamaged.

　　 "So sharp!"

　　 Dorothy's eyes narrowed.

　　 "Your Excellency Richard, this sword is too precious..."

　　 Dorothy feels too expensive.

　　 "Just take it for you. In addition, these packets of potato chips are also for you."

　　 Richard interrupted her and took out a few more packets of potato chips.

　　 Dorothy's eyes were instantly attracted by packets of potato chips.

　　 Sure enough, there is food potential.

　　 Finally, Dorothy accepted Richard's sword and potato chips, and then she bowed deeply to Richard and left Richard's castle.

　　Miwei looked at Dorothy's going away figure and said, "It's too dangerous for her to go back."

Mia said: "She is very stubborn, but with her skill, she got the master's sword again. There should be nothing wrong with her. When this locust plague has passed, I will persuade her again. The teacher sent her out. She goes back, and if she goes back, the teacher must punish her."

　　 Richard asked curiously: "Who is your teacher? It sounds pretty good."

　　 Mia said: "I don't know, the teacher has a mask on her face since she was a child, she is very mysterious."

Item 0037

　　 After some tossing down, the time has come to the second half of the night.

　　 Richard noticed that Mia seemed to stop talking.

　　 Then, Richard took out two more daggers and two daggers and handed them to Mia.

　　 "Mia, this is new equipment for you."

　　 Richard said.

　　 As his guard, Mia naturally has to change to a better sword.

　　 The daggers they used before are already quite good daggers in the orc kingdom. However, whether it is in appearance, sharpness, or toughness, they are far from being compared with swords in another world.

　　The simplest thing is that there are few people who can make iron in the orc kingdom, and things like steel... can't be made at all.

　　 And some of the daggers sold in some flagship stores on a certain treasure are all made of very good steel. After all, the main products are collectibles and crafts.

　　 A handful of more than two thousand yuan is not cheap anymore.

　　Like the long watermelon knife in the supermarket, it costs only 20 or 30 yuan, and the very sharp pig-killing knife is only a hundred yuan. The material used is not much worse than this kind of dagger.

　　 Of course, it is still different from the real top forging that is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

　　 However, in this world, it is already a very sharp weapon.

　　 This short sword Richard has already been bladed.

After 　　 Mia took it, she drew a short sword, flicked a few sword flowers in her hand, and smiled on her face.

　　 Richard gave Dorothy one, but gave her two, plus two daggers, which made her feel very happy.

　　 "Thank you, Master, I will do my best to protect you!"

　　 Mia assured Richard.

　　 Richard said: "Go to bed early, tomorrow we will go to the construction site together."

"Um!"

　　 Mia nodded heavily.

　　 Early the next morning, after breakfast, Richard set off with two cat ears.

　　 Now his territory is quite busy.

　　 In addition to the businessman Tim, another businessman found Richard two days ago.

　　 The strength of this businessman is about the same as Tim, and he exchanged something worth about 100 gold coins from Richard.

　　 Excluding the expenses these days, Richard still has more than 300 gold coins in his hand.
