959 Chapter 998: the defeated soldiersâŠ
The Sky⊠did not seem to have any intention of lighting upâŠ
...
David estimated that it had been almost twelve hours since the strange phenomenon yesterday. If it was a normal time, it would already be noon, but it was still pitch-black.
A thick black liquid was flowing in the sky, without a single ray of light penetrating in. The darkness that seemed to cover the entire sky seemed to describe the current situation.
However, the residents of Kate City were not as panicked as they were yesterday. Even David could see many people trying to walk on the streets. Many shops were trying to open.
Compared to the fear of the unknown, what drove people to action was greed.
The prices of all the goods on the streets were crazily rising, especially wheat. The price could be said to have skyrocketed. The last person who bought wheat here shouted ten steel arms coins per pound. That person gritted his teeth and bought it, facing the next customer, the peddler dared to shout fifteen steel arms coins for a Jin.
The surrounding people learned from him. By the time David came to the market to buy some goods, the price of wheat had already risen to fifty steel arms coins for a Jin.
It was equivalent to the price of grain increasing fifty times in a day! !
Doomsday theories were spread everywhere in the streets and alleys. Many people were advocating to quickly store the grain, causing people to be anxious. In fact, through Davidâs observation, he found that the ones who really advocated doomsday theories were those peddlers.
They encouraged others to buy supplies and reserves, but they themselves were frantically selling supplies. Reality proved that the people who spread the rumors the most were actually the ones who didnât believe the rumors. It had to be said that humans were really magical creatures.
After walking around for a while, David found a grain store that was priced at 70 steel coins per catty and began to line up. It wasnât that he had to choose the expensive one, but he felt that money wasnât of much use now. It was a rational choice to exchange all of it for supplies, this store had the least number of people lining up. It was most likely that he would be able to sell all the money he had.
If what the ORC said was true, then these currencies would soon lose their effectiveness in the futureâŠ
âSir David?â
Just as David finally reached his seat, the wheat seller suddenly stared blankly at David. David immediately recognized him. wasnât this the servant in charge of purchasing in the Countâs mansion, Harry?
âWhy are you here?âDavid frowned and looked at the shop full of old grain. He said faintly, âAre you secretly selling grain from the Countâs Mansion?â
âNo, noâŠâHarry quickly shook his head. âMy Lord, donât talk nonsense. I donât have the courage to do that. The Count asked me to sell itâŠâ
âAt this time, the count actually asked you to sell grain?âDavid was stunned. âShouldnât you be collecting grain?â
âWhat grain?âHarry curled his lips. âThe Countâs mansion has so much old grain, and the harvest has been cheap these two years. We were worried that we wouldnât have a place to sell it. If something like this happens, shouldnât we quickly stock up?âHarry suddenly glanced at David, he said carefully, âSir⊠Donât tell me you really believe that the end of the world is coming?â
David:ââŠâ
âYou donât think this is the end of the world?âDavid pointed to the sky and said.
Harry curled his lips. âThis is most likely the doing of some master wizard. It looks like heâs bluffing. If itâs the end of the world, why didnât anything happen?â
David suddenly fell silent. He actually didnât know how to refute.
âSell me two hundred catties firstâŠâ
He had planned to change all the money into food, but now he wasnât sure. After all, it was still uncertain whether the orcâs words were reliable or not. He had to leave some money, right?
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as David was preparing to load the food, a strange but familiar sound echoed throughout Kate City.
This wasâŠ
Kateâs body tensed up. This was the sound of a war horn!
âI want 1,000 pounds. Install it immediately! !â
Harry:ââŠâ

âUncle orc⊠What kind of person is my mother?âIn the basement, after spending some time with the orc, sunny realized that it was easier to get in touch with it than she had imagined. Hence, she, who was naturally kind, took the initiative to communicate with it.
Brother dog: âUh⊠Iâm not old. Donât call me uncleâŠâ
Sunny: âBut arenât you more than a hundred years old?â
Brother Dog: âWe Orcs have a long life span, a hundred years is equivalent to a humanâs twenties.â
âYouâre lying!âSunny pouted and said, âIâve read the Anthura logs, the average life span of orcs is not high, many goblins only live to thirty-five years old!â
âThatâs a low-grade orc!âBrother Dog said righteously, âWe are all high-grade orcs with golden blood, a glorious race, how can you compare that low-grade goblin to my Hellscream?â
âOh⊠I See⊠Golden Blood? Your Blood is Golden?â
âItâs just an analogyâŠâ
âThen why do many of your names like to be called âRoarâ?â
Brother Dogâs expression was awkward. He didnât know how to answer for a moment. He couldnât say that he was a chuunibyou, right? Therefore, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, âWerenât you asking about your mother just now?â
âYes, yes, what kind of person is my mother?âLittle Sunny easily changed the topic.
âA very strong and beautiful womanâŠâbrother dog pretended to be reminiscing and then looked at Sunny. âVery similar to you!â
âIs that so?âSunny looked at the gentle eyes of the orc and immediately shook her head embarrassedly. Her heart was filled with joy. Other than Uncle David, very few people directly praised her beauty.
âThen⊠then how did you meet my Mother?â
Brother Dog: âIt was a dark and windy nightâŠâ
Brother Dog immediately took out all sorts of melodramatic stories from the TV series of his previous life and made up a story. It only scared the little girl until she was in a daze. Hearing it with great interest, David, who was pulling the grain back, was speechless.
He always felt that if this guy wasnât wearing orc skin, he would be very suitable to eat the bardsârice.
âUncle David is back?âSunny excitedly patted the stone slab next to her. âBrother Orc is telling a story about his mother. Come and listen to it!â
Brother Orc?
Davidâs face darkened. He suddenly regretted letting Miss Sunny stay with this orc. He felt that there was something wrong with this guyâs attitude toward Miss Sunny.
However, for a long time, sunny would have to entrust it to this guyâŠ
âDid something happen?âBrother Dog was very sensitive and noticed that something was wrong with David.
âThe horn sounded in the city. I have to go and take a look!â
âThe horn?âBrother Dogâs expression tensed. âDo I have to go? Isnât it good to hide here?â
âI have to go and see whatâs going on, right?âDavid smiled and said, âNo matter what, Iâve eaten the earlâs food for so many years. I have to have some professional ethics, donât I?â
Brother Dog:ââŠâ
âUncle David, can you not go?âSunny said with a worried look.
âItâs okayâŠâDavid walked over and gently patted Sunnyâs head. âUncle David, Iâll be fine. Iâll just go over and take a look. If anything happens, Iâll be the first one to run back!â
âPFFTâŠâsunny suddenly laughed. âThen⊠then you have to run fasterâŠâ
Brother Dog:ââŠâ
Several people did not see, in the distance, by the dog brother kneaded into a ball of the scroll, is a strange position, the center of the scroll out of an eye, quietly watching the Dog Brother Gang! !

At the same time, at the city gate, the soldiers on guard looked at the flood of regular armed knights, suddenly began to shake the hands with weapons.
After all, they were Southern soldiers who were used to living a comfortable life. How would they ever experience the killing intent of a regular army?
The leader of the Knights rode on the empireâs regular dragon horses and slowly stepped forward. he shouted, âI am Luke Constantine, the guardian of Blue Dragon City. I am urgently commandeering Kate City. Tell your castellan to open the city gate!â
