Chapter 563 Winter has come
Although Perficott's settlement of the Evil God Sect has a huge impact, it is not the focus of the millions of Langton citizens who still live in Langton City.
Even for the vast majority of people, they haven’t even heard about it.
Only some people living in Xiacheng District know that there was a battle and even shelling in Xiacheng District last night.
But this is nothing new for the residents of the lower city. Ever since the news of the impending end of the world spread, the entire lower city of Langton has been in a mess.
This is not the first time that the City Guards have used force in Xiacheng District. Even the people in Xiacheng District themselves are almost used to hearing gunshots every once in a while.
At best, it was just that the commotion last night was really big.
But for the Langton Municipal Government, this matter is no small matter.
Although the center of the empire and all important ministers have now moved to the north, this does not mean that the importance of Langton has declined. It is still the capital of the Victoria Empire, the largest and most populous in the empire. most cities.
At the same time, this place is still the political and economic core of the entire empire, which is related to the stability of the entire territory.
Such a big thing happened last night, and if the officials from Langton City Hall didn't react, Purficott might have to consider whether these guys should build into the wall or light up the sky lanterns.
After all, such a big thing has happened and there is still no reaction. This is no longer an ordinary corpse meal.
Especially because Purficott also communicated with them before taking action, letting the Langton city government know about the matter so that they would not be really at a loss.
The Langton City Government did not disappoint Perfectcott. Although their response was not very timely, they still sent people to block the scene as soon as possible after the incident, and the city guards and knights fully They took over various traffic arteries in Xiacheng District and pretended to clean up the entire Xiacheng District.
Some smaller evil sects were indeed frightened by the posture put forward by the Langton City Government.
The Death Cult has learned from this, and they don't want to be the next typical case to be taken advantage of by the empire.
It is okay to kill a chicken and scare a monkey as a monkey, but there is no need to be a chicken.
Of course, it is not that there are no guys who want to continue to stay in Xiacheng District and challenge the authority of the empire, but in the face of the airships that appear in the sky, and the first-generation murderers who are obviously parked in Xiacheng District, God Armor, they still chose to avoid the sharp edge very carefully.
They all saw how the Death Cult's 'god envoy' was killed last night. The empire's God-killing Armor is still very powerful in deterrence.
But it’s hard to say how long this kind of deterrence can deter them. After all, as time passes little by little, the first snow of the year has fallen in Langton, and this also indicates that The last autumn before the end is over.
Ice, snow and cold are about to sweep across Langton and the entire empire, and winter in the north will only come earlier than in the empire.
"It's snowing, this will be the most difficult winter." Standing in front of the window, looking at the falling snowflakes, the expression on Purficott's face became a little melancholy, but also a little grim.
She has been preparing for the end of the world for three years, giving up a lot and killing many people. In the end, whether it is all worth it depends on whether they can survive this winter safely.
"Is the city of Langton fully prepared for the arrival of winter? Do the various shelters have enough fuel to cope with the cold winter? Is the coal supply problem in the empire guaranteed?" Purficott turned and looked at He saw several officials standing in front of him, and the power of the northern lord instantly overwhelmed them. The power of the Northern Lords was terrifying, but an official withstood the pressure and said to her: "Currently, Langton City has made a lot of preparations for the arrival of winter. We have learned from the advanced experience of the Northern Territory and established a clothing rental bureau. , and also reserves a large number of winter clothes for the public to rent
It’s just that given the size of Langton’s population, we can only guarantee that there won’t be problems in the inner city at the moment.
After all, you know the previous situation in Langton City. The lower city and outer city are almost out of our control. Even if we want to do something, we are really powerless. "
After the official finished speaking, an expression of anxiety and uneasiness appeared on his face.
Although he dared to explain to Purficott, the pressure still made him feel Fearful.
In response to the official's answer, Purficott just nodded slightly and then said: "What you stated is an objective fact. I can accept it, but I cannot tolerate it. ”
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of all the officials present turned ugly.
However, what Perficott said next saved their desperate hearts: "The people in the lower city and outer city are also subjects of the empire, and you cannot leave them alone.
< br>I cannot tolerate the abandonment of so many people of the empire, nor can I watch them freeze to death in the snow!
Fortunately, the upper town of Langton is now basically empty. I authorize you to do so! Transform it to accommodate the people in the lower city and outer city, at least to enable them to survive the storm
As for how to do it, a plan will be given later! You must ensure that most people have warm clothing and shelter that can withstand the cold before the temperature becomes unbearable.”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Earl!" Everyone heard that this was Purficott's order. Although they felt that this was an impossible task, it was better than being held accountable now.
Perfect nodded slightly and then signaled that they could leave.
After these officials left, Sandrillon, who had been silent next to him, asked: "How do you ensure that so many people survive? There are nearly a million people in Langton alone. Living and living, even if a large number of people have died due to hunger and other problems during this period, there are still hundreds of thousands of people alive.
Not to mention the outer city, the population will only be more! How can they be resettled and how can we ensure that everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear? "
The question asked by Sandrillon is very sharp and very realistic.
Although what Purficott asked and promised sounded simple, it was anything but simple to achieve.
Especially because they don’t have much time now. The first snow has fallen, and the weather will soon become very cold. By then, the entire Langton will be frozen into a big ice cellar.
Only the church shelter built by the previous church can protect the people, allowing them to hide underground to avoid the wind and snow.
“One month is enough to build an energy tower, isn’t it?” Purficott’s face showed an expression of eagerness to try.
