Heimarian Odyssey

Miller is a small worker in the city of Otis. As an authentic royal man, Miller has been busy for so many years and married a good-looking wife. In the past few years, he had a pair of lovely children.

From this point of view, Miller can be regarded as the group of people in Shalorian who have a better life.

However, Miller did not think so at this time.

Taking a bit of a cold and purple nose, Miller and a group of Shalor civilians, who are also civilian working class, gathered at the market gate of Otis City.

They are all here to get relief food. The city of Otis has been besieged for almost a month. Without the input of external resources, many people in this city have starved to death. If it were not for the mercy of the nobles, they would give them a living every day. The Shalor civilians who went down partly helped, and Otis City was already in chaos.

I don’t know how long I waited, a huge stone gate in the market slowly opened, and a group of Shalor civilians met, and the tide rushed past.

“Disperse! Disperse!” A whole group of tall and strong Shalor soldiers, waving long spear to drive away these excited civilians.

There are only a Shalor soldier in a squadron, and there are only a few thousand civilians here. How can they be suppressed?

Hungry crazy Shalor civilians don’t care if the weapons of these soldiers are not sharp.

The stone gate was only half open, and it was blocked by the agitated Shalor civilians and could not be opened.

“Stop!” Finally, a voice full of breath came, and along with the use of Battle Qi, a voice came, causing many nearby Shalor civilians to cover their ears in pain, a pale red blood stain, It flows from the ears.

In the form of sound waves, Battle Qi is transformed into at least a high-end Knight Knecht. From his perfect control of Battle Qi, it can be seen that he is still a well-known figure in high-end Knecht.

The excited civilians in the front were blocked, but countless people squeezed from behind, and the scene was still chaotic.

It wasn’t until the leading high-rank Knight Knecht took the long sword to chop down a few Shalor civilians who had the strongest jumping. This chaotic situation was able to abate.

The group of civilians who had been hungry all day was finally calmed down by blood and blade light.

The leading Shalor high-ranking Knecht stared coldly at the group of civilians in front of him. All the Shalor civilians who met his gaze lowered their heads. They had no doubt that what was hidden under the armor was a killing without blinking. The demon of an eye.

The stone gate was fully opened, and the horse team over ten meters long was exposed. Behind each horse, a wooden cart was pulled. On the wooden cart was piled half-high potatoes and rice potatoes.

Every Shalor civilian who saw the food involuntarily licked his lips and swallowed dry spit.

Distribute food and proceed in an orderly manner. Every civilian who was suppressed did not dare to impudent again.

Such scenes, if you look from the top down, there are 6 at all in the city of Otis, a big city!

Miller was lucky, and he was clever in the middle of the team here.

There was less and less food on the carriage board in front, and Miller’s heart became more and more anxious.

It’s finally his turn. The horse team is more than ten meters long. At this time, there are less than 2 wooden boards for food.

At this time, a person in front of him was praying to the soldiers who were distributing food, “Please, give me another piece. I have a 6-year-old child to raise.”

This person seems to be quite old, and his voice has a boring characteristic characteristic of northerners.

The soldier who gave him food was a young man with a young face. When he prayed to someone who was much older than him, the young man was embarrassed.

This should be a recruit, Miller guessed in his heart, those veterans would be kind to civilians like them, and they would have kicked them.

“Do you want love, why is there so much nonsense!” Sure enough, when the young soldier was raising money, next to him, it looked like a non-commissioned officer of his Small Captain, grabbed a piece of potato held by the civilian and threw it out. .

Following the trajectory of the potato flying out, followed by the greedy eyes of a group of Shalor civilians.

The man in front of Miller also didn’t care about asking for food. He even scrambled to chase the potato. This is the food he and his son saved today.

When it was Miller’s turn, he would not have naive fantasies like the man before, but politely said “a piece of potato, thank you!” to the soldiers who gave him food.

Regardless of the pure Shalor royal accent or the friendly attitude, the soldier who gave him food gave him a good first impression, so he got a piece of potato that was slightly larger than other potatoes.

With the potatoes in his hand, Miller stopped at all and left in a hurry.

There is not much food on the board, but there are still half of the people in line, and there will be confusion later.

After a while, just as Miller walked out of two hundred meters, there was a noise and soldiers yelling, accompanied by the screams of people being injured when the wooden car crashed.

Miller quickened his pace and left this place of right and wrong.

At this time, the advantage of the Royal Capital was manifested. After 3 to 5 turns around the city, Miller got rid of those who might follow him who were so hungry that there were only 2 skins on his chest.

Go to the place where you live, in the southwest corner of the city. There are large rows of low-rise houses. Most of them are born and raised in Otis City.

Because this place is closer to Shalor Palace than other places, most people really have no way to get a house here.

Miller stared guardingly at the front of the townhouse, the group of people lying dead in small groups. This is not all his neighborhood because of the decline of Shalor’s war.

In many occupied areas, a large number of nobles and civilians poured into the city of Otis before the siege of the Faustans. The city of Otis, which originally had 1210000 inhabitants, now has 1510000 inhabitants.

This is still the case where a large number of civilians starve to death in every Tian City.

Miller’s neighbor, a good 40-year-old man who has not married a wife in his life, adopted a child who had escaped a few days ago and was looted by the refugee who fled with the child.

Not only the food was robbed, but he himself was beaten and thrown out. As for the child he adopted, he was driven away by the group of scum. Now the two of you are still picking up food in the city.

Had it not been for Miller and his old neighbors who had lived together for many years to be hostile to these outsiders, I’m afraid they would have been given an idea.

But the good times are not long. There are more and more refugees from other places here. These people are hungry every day and can’t do anything. They just lie there “lying dead” with their protruding eyes staring at people passing by. It makes people shudder.

Miller has seen a lot, not afraid of them, and doesn’t want to provoke them. He hid the food he had just received, and walked by the refugees lying on the ground in 4 places.

He even accidentally stepped on a bad luck guy, leaving a scream, and it was posted on the road.

When he walked to a pale yellow wooden door, Miller knocked on the wooden plank blocking the window. After a while, a smart little face was revealed, and Miller’s strained face finally relaxed.

“Bob, open the door!” Miller said to the child in the door with a smile.

The 40-square-meter cottage has only a kitchenette and a bedroom. Miller’s family of 4 people squeezed into this small house.

Miller put the potatoes he had received in a wooden bowl in the kitchen. His children were shining with big eyes, leaning to the left and right of Miller 2. They knew that this was their food today. Two Little Brat greedy the water flowing all over the ground.

Soon, Miller’s wife came back. This was a woman who looked not much worse than Miller, Betty, Miller’s wife.

Betty didn’t have the squeamishness of a southern woman. When the two had just met, Miller immediately saw Betty who was cheerful and not much worse than a man. She came to work in the capital.

In the end, Miller relied on his identity as a resident of Otis and the advantage of owning a house in the city, he stood out among many Betty suitors and embraced the beauty.

Betty gave him a son 6 years ago and a daughter 4 years ago. The family should have lived happily for a lifetime, but the truth is. . . . . .

Betty, who had just returned home, took off her jacket and took out a palm-sized potato. There was only one coat at home, Miller didn’t wear it, and left it to his wife. He had been cold enough before.

“Good luck today, I grabbed a potato.” Betty said relaxedly. Years of hard life and hardship in recent years have left Betty, who was also a beauty when she was young, only deep wrinkles and dry hands.

Betty is very thin, it is caused by malnutrition all the time, and she can’t tell that she is already the mother of two children.

Just like Miller received relief food at the market, Betty received it from another place. In order to prevent chaos, the nobles separated men and women to deliver food.

Don’t think that Betty is full of women, it’s much better than Miller’s. On the contrary, because it is a female, it is even more crazy over there.

Shalor’s soldiers can act on civilians or refugee men like Miller, but they rarely act on women. Soldiers also have a conscience. They can’t beat Faustans on the front line, and they have no face to attack the women of their country. No matter how cold-blooded he is.

It is precisely because of this that the women who receive the relief food are more confused. A group of women baring fangs and brandishing claws went up to grab food. It would be nice for the soldiers to maintain order.

Betty also relied on her height and strength to grab a potato this time. The price is a few more scratches and bruises on the arm. The women started their hands, not much worse than the men.

“It seems that I can eat a little bit full today.” Miller forced a smile, and he was busy looking for medicinal liquor for Betty. It’s been messy outside recently, this thing about medicinal liquor, they always keep it at home.

Betty began to prepare their dinner, a simple stew of mashed potatoes, sprinkled with a little salt and crushed wild vegetables, this is the supreme delicacy of the commoners.

Feeling that on his arm, the husband carefully rubbed the medicinal wine on the wound, Betty’s heart was quiet.

Although I didn’t enjoy any blessings with this man, the world is like this. Betty has no complaints. She is a cheerful person, but she is overwhelmed by reality.

After eating, the family lay on the wooden bed, and Miller and Betty put the two children in the middle to sleep. The scarcity of food made the family dare not waste a little energy. Apart from going out to get food, they were holding the child to sleep at home.
