Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 518: :riot

Hurrying to the grain drying field, the scene in front of him immediately made Simon's face even more gloomy.

I saw thousands of people holding various pitchforks, shovels, and sickles, standing outside the grain drying field, confronting the new army in charge of security, shouting constantly, wanting to get back their grain.

And at a position farther away, more people stood silently, watching all this.

After releasing a concealment spell, Simon and his party avoided the crowd, entered the grain drying field, and found Harris who was staying here.

"How's the situation now?" Simon asked straight to the point when the masking spell was removed and a group of people showed their figures.

Harris looked a little anxious, and immediately showed joy when he saw Simon, and then replied with a bitter face: "It's very bad. If you don't appease this group of people, I'm afraid they will rush in to grab food."

There was a cold look on Simon's face, and he said in a cold voice: "That's not what I'm asking, what I'm asking is, what's the defense strength of the sun-drying field?"

Harrison was horrified all over, and looked at Simon in disbelief. He knew the meaning of this sentence.

"There are not enough new soldiers, so I put the two machine gun battalions that are still training here. Simon, these people just want to return their food, there is no need to suppress them?" Harris asked with a dry throat road.

Hearing that the cannon battalion was here, Simon breathed a sigh of relief, but the coldness on his face did not diminish. He glared at Harris and said, "What is...their food?"

Harris took a deep breath and replied as calmly as possible: "It's the grain harvested from their fields."

The veins on Simon's forehead popped up, his face flushed and he growled, "This time, people from all over the territory were mobilized to grab so much food. If you distribute it to them, what do you want other people to do? "

The storm came too suddenly, so Xin Faling could only concentrate all his manpower to reclaim the part of the farmland closest to his place of residence.

Now, the food of these people has been rescued, but the farmlands of other people have all been turned into a vast ocean, and all the food in the field has been soaked.

If this group of people took away the food grown from their fields, the rest of the people would have to starve to death.

Therefore, Simon issued a decree on purpose.

All the food confiscated this year will be distributed according to the population of each family every month, together with the food brought in by those merchants, it should be barely enough to allow all the people to survive this famine.

"This..." Harris was a little embarrassed, and defended the people: "This is the food grown from their fields, and it should belong to them. Even if they can't give them all, they should at least give them more."

Simon shook his head with a cold face, looked at Harris disappointedly, and said, "If we hadn't seized that field back then, do you think they would be standing here now?

Or, will you watch here silently like other people?

What's more, give them more points? How many points?

I can assure you that as soon as we start distributing the grain from the drying yard, the group of people gathered outside right now will rush in like crazy and take all the grain. "

Harris showed pain on his face, and said a little unwillingly: "That can't be suppressed by force, they are all people under the new law!"

"Enough!" Simon shouted coldly: "I will not starve to death the tens of thousands of people in the new law because of the thousands of people outside, not to mention that I have already issued a decree that all food will be confiscated and distributed according to the population.

They are making such a request now because they want to store more food at home, which is completely selfish.

In addition, all the places guarded by the new army are military restricted areas. The current Sun Valley Field fully meets this condition. According to the new law, anyone who forcibly breaks into the military restricted area - will be killed without mercy! "

The coldness revealed in Simon's words made it difficult for Harris to accept for a while. He waved his fists and shouted: "You are the lord of the new law, how can you be so cruel to the people!"

Looking outside, Simon took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "It is because I am the lord that I am responsible for the entire new law.

I will not be soft on those who violate the new law; nor will I starve the vast majority of people because of a small number of people.

As long as they dare to step into the cordon, they will order the new army to open fire! "

Harris roared angrily: "If you want to give an order, you can do it yourself, I don't want to do it."

Simon took a deep breath and looked at Harris coldly: "Okay! Okay! Then I will give the order myself! Everyone, enter the fighting state! As long as anyone dares to cross the cordon, shoot immediately!"

Harris froze all over, as if facing an ice abyss. He never thought that Simon would be so decisive that he would completely ignore his own reputation.

Seeing the soldiers lift the canvas to reveal the rotary machine guns and artillery inside, Harris was shocked, and immediately ran over to stop it.

"No, we can't fire on these people!" He snatched the canvas in despair, and covered it again on these heavy weapons.

The soldiers were also distracted by Simon's order. The people gathered outside the door, many of whom were even their family members, didn't know what to do, and Harris let the canvas cover it again.

"Have you had enough?" Simon couldn't bear it anymore, kicked Harris down with a flying kick, stepped on his chest, and shouted: "Do you think I like being so ruthless? If the food is distributed to these people, What do you use to save other people, do you have a solution?"

The current situation cannot be solved by communication.

The nobles have been dishonest to the people for too long, and Simon can understand these people's distrust of food confiscation and centralized distribution.

But this does not mean that he will allow these people to steal the food.

Just like the train problem, one person dies, or five people die.

Simon didn't know how other people would choose. He only knew that if those people didn't matter to him, then whoever the train liked to run over had nothing to do with him.

But if he knew all those people, just like these people now, then he would definitely choose to save most of them, even if he would be condemned by his conscience.

Looking at the dazed and painful Harris, Simon said with a sullen face: "I'll give you a chance, if you can come up with a solution before they step into the cordon, even if it's just a possibility.

If I can still keep other people from starving to death after distributing the food, then I won't attack these people, but if you can't figure it out, then you can only do it according to my method! "

There was no response for a long time, and the people outside the sun-drying field were getting more and more agitated, and they were about to lose their minds and storm the gate of the sun-drying field.

According to Simon's order, the soldiers of the new army guarding the grain drying field also began to load their weapons with ammunition.

Harris looked at all this, his heart was full of pain but he was helpless~www.readwn.com~ because he had no way to solve the problem at all.

food! food! The sudden torrential rain has left the entire southern border short of food, and Xin Faling has tried his best to buy food.

But if these people were allowed to take away all the grain in the sun-drying field, the grain they bought would be a drop in the bucket and would not be able to survive.

In the end, most people will starve to death, and only those who robbed the food will live.

No, they may not be alive either. Will those people who are so hungry that they lose their minds still abide by the law as before? Impossible!

At that time, whoever has food in his hands will be the first to be robbed, and he will die faster.

Finally, the people outside the door couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed towards the grain drying field with the crude weapons in their hands. Harris shed tears and closed his eyes in pain.

Facing the heavy weapons of the machine gun battalion, these people couldn't have any chance.

Da da da da! The moment he stepped into the cordon, the machine gunner turned the revolving wheel, and the six barrels began to spin and spray flames, and the bullets penetrated one body after another.

In just half a minute, hundreds of corpses fell outside the grain drying field.

Blood flowed into rivers and wailed! All the people who launched the riot were shocked by it, and then immediately fled in all directions. They were just a little greedy, and they were not really stupid.

In a further distance, tens of thousands of people gathered.

Most of the people in the new law area came here. They were all farmers who failed to grab food from the fields. Seeing that these mobs were forcibly driven away, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

If the food in the grain drying field is really taken away by these mobs, and they lose hope of survival, then they will be the ones who will riot next!
