Become the city lord from today

Greystone City is located at the junction of the inland and the western lands. It takes about five days to reach it from Xiyang City.

At this time, most of the Gray Rock City was submerged in water. Many civilians were standing on the city wall. Fortunately, the walls of the Gray Rock City were made of stone bricks, but they could not accommodate many people. More people still made rafts, and then Tie a rope to a heavy object to prevent it from being washed away.

There were civilians everywhere on the city wall, standing, squatting, and lying down. The civilians had pale faces. They were hungry. They had been trapped for three days and had not eaten.

The flood happened so suddenly three days ago. The flood surrounded Gray Rock City overnight. Then, in just half a day, the ground of Gray Rock City was submerged. In the next three days, the water rose higher and higher. , most of the Gray Rock City was submerged in water, and many civilian houses with mud walls collapsed.

"Sigh... If this continues, we will all starve to death."An old man sighed helplessly.

"I will beg those people again and ask them to lend us some wheat."A strong middle-aged man said in a low voice. He was wearing a suit of armor and had a bearded face.

"Knight Taki, don't go. How could they be willing to borrow wheat? Not all noble businessmen are as kind as Miss Darlene."

The old man waved his hand and advised,"Be careful, they will insult others again."

"I'll give it another try. Taki hesitated and insisted,"Maybe there are one or two good people?""

Taki is a knight of Gray Rock City. He did not leave with the lord of Gray Rock City, but stayed to help the civilians, which made him loved by many people. The same was true for Taki last year when there was a big flood, but I didn't expect it to be the same this year. A major flood has occurred, and it is even more severe than last year's major flood. It has been three or four days since the water level has not dropped, but it has continued to rise. If this continues, everyone will be soaked in water in less than two days. Waiting to die, even sitting on a raft is afraid of being carried away by the water

"Sigh...Taki Knight is really too upright."The old man looked at the tower base that was struggling to advance on the city wall.

He turned to look in the direction of the tower base. There were hundreds of ships docked there, and a dozen ships near the city wall were full of people. These ships were owned by a man named Darien. Miss Na’s ship, she was willing to let civilians board and stay on board, and saved many civilians.

But the remaining more than a hundred ships were not willing to let civilians board, and were not even willing to give them any wheat. The old man also thought it was normal. , after all, no one is selfless, let alone these nobles and businessmen. Kind-hearted businessmen and nobles are always in the minority.

"Tap tap tap……"

"Everyone, please give way."Taki said softly, there are too many people on this city wall. You have to be careful not to step on anyone when you set foot.

"Taki Knight, are you going to find them again?"

"Don't go, those people won't sympathize with us and are making a fool of themselves."

"……"

The civilians were trying to persuade Taki not to go to the nobles and businessmen. Last time, they remembered that the nobles actually asked Taki to jump into the water and swim to those boats to meet and discuss. In the end, they were tricked. Those people didn't. Will give wheat to the common people to eat

"It's okay, I just asked."Ji Wen said with a smile. He can't let everyone wait here to die. He has to try whatever he can.

He was an orphan and grew up eating the food of his neighbors. It was these simple civilians who allowed him to live and grow up well. As long as he could help everyone, what was a mere insult?

Darlene was standing on the top of the cabin of the main ship. She looked at the civilians on the board and the walls. The common people, no matter how far they look, all they see is water.

"This big flood came at the wrong time. It has already been delayed for three or four days. I really don't know when it will recede. Darlene said bitterly. Her promise to Mr. Liu Feng was delayed again. Now she didn't know how to face Mr. Liu Feng's trust. Now the speed of the ship can't be increased at all, and the speed of progress every day is as fast as They were like turtles, and the wind direction was wrong, which caused the fleet to stop, and many ships failed to follow them.

"Plop……"

There was a sound of falling into the water, attracting the attention of many people, and also attracted the attention of Darlene. She saw a figure holding a piece of wood and swimming hard, in the direction of Jesse and Kunjan's boat.

"Taki Knight, come back quickly, it's too dangerous"

"Don't go. Even if we starve to death, we can't beg them."

"……"

Darlene looked at the civilians on the city wall quietly, listened to their shouts, sighed, and murmured to herself,"I can't help much, we have to support the people on the ship."

She had already raised her big brother. Some of the wheat was distributed, but unfortunately there were nearly ten thousand people here, and the little wheat she brought was not enough to feed everyone.

"I hope this flood will subside soon."Darlene blinked her green eyes and looked at the water in the distance. The downstream areas are even worse. I'm afraid even the city walls will be submerged. This flood has spread too widely. Except for some high-lying places, everything else has been submerged. Got it

"Hahahaha... Who asked you to come up? Get out of here"

"Go away, do you think you, a pariah, can come up here?"

"Still want wheat? Buy it with coins! One silver coin per pound, is this cheap enough? Ha ha ha ha……"

"Plop……"

Taki clenched his gums, veins popped out on his forehead, and he kicked his legs hard. These nobles were getting more and more excessive. Sure enough, the nobles in the world were all as black as each other.

"Knight of Tower Base, come up quickly. You shouldn't go. It's too dangerous."

"How can those nobles save us? Knight Taki, don't take any more risks. We will be fine."

"…………"

"Hey, everyone, look, there's a fleet coming upstream."
