Chapter 1491 The Dry Well

Frankish Empire, City of Berlu, General Headquarters.

"Is there still no movement between the Britannian army and the Hiran army...?"

Alan asked this as he rubbed his temples on both sides of his head.

"Yes." The general standing at Allen's table nodded calmly, "No movement."

"...I understand. You go down first."

"yes!"

After the general left, Allen raised his head and sighed.

"What is Su Cheng and that El... going to do..."

It has been two months since the Britannian army and the Sheeran army arrived at the city of Bellu.

In the past two months, the generals and soldiers of the Britannian army and the Sheeran army have remained motionless.

He did nothing, just siege the city silently.

Allen came up with various possibilities, but he didn't think of what Su Cheng and El planned to do...

After learning again that the two generals outside the city had no movement, Allen couldn't help but sigh like this.

However—just as Allen's feelings fell, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Coach! Coach Allen!"

"What's the matter?" Allen asked the general who rushed into the room.

"City, many wells in the city suddenly couldn't get water!"

"What?!" Allen's pupils shrank suddenly, "How many wells have dried up?"

“1,18 seats!”

"18?!" Allen stood up with a shout, "Take me to see the dry wells!"

"yes!"

...

...

Under the guidance of the general, Allen hurried to a dry well near him.

This dried well is surrounded by many urban residents with different expressions, as well as soldiers guarding the well and preventing the urban residents from getting close to it.

Although long before the war began, the central government of the Frank Empire arranged for the citizens of the city of Bellu to evacuate Bellu in an orderly manner.

However, due to insufficient time, there are still more than 400,000 civilians in the city of Bolu.

Next to this dry wellhead, a middle-aged man was lying down, looking down at the dark wellhead.

After seeing Allen coming, the middle-aged man immediately stood up and saluted to Allen and introduced himself.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was a hydrology expert who had just arrived, and was to see why this well dried up.

After learning that this person was a hydrology expert, Allen hurriedly asked the person:

"Your Excellency! Can't I get the water from this well for peacekeeping? Have you found out the reason?"

"I've found it out..." The hydrology expert sighed, "The reason why this well cannot produce water is very simple..."

"It's just because there's no water."

"Without water, naturally, I can't get the water."

"No water?" Allen exclaimed, "Why is there no water?"

“…I’m still investigating the specific reason.”

Speaking of this, the hydrology expert paused.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice to Allen:

"But...I think the biggest possibility that this well will dry up is that something happened to Lake Steyr outside the city..."

“Low Steyr?”

"Coach Allen, you should also know that the wells in our Berlu City all lead to Lake Steyer."

"I know."

"Generally speaking, it is impossible for our wells in Berlu to suddenly lose water."

"The only reason I can think of is that something went wrong with Lake Steyr outside the city."

“For example… Lake Steyr is gone…”

"There is no water in Lake Steyer, so our wells that directly lead to Lake Steyer are naturally no water..."

"Low Steyer...no water..." Allen's pupils magnified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A terrible idea came to Allen's mind.

This terrifying idea quickly occupied Allen's entire brain at a terrifying speed.

Alan was frightened by the horror idea in his mind, and he spread his legs and ran towards the palace like a conditioned reflex...

...

...

"What?!"

Elvin looked at Alan in front of him with horror.

"Britanian and Sheeran... intend to cut off our water source?!"

"That's right." Allen nodded with a calm face, "If the purpose of the Britannian army and the Sheeran army was to drain the water of Lake Steel and cut off our water source, then their silence over the past two months would have been explained!"

"They are not holding their troops!"

"They are just preparing to capture our Belle in secret!"

Even without Alan's detailed introduction, Elvin himself knew what a terrible consequence would be if the water in Berlu City was cut off...

"I'll go find Your Majesty now!" Elvin said anxiously, "You must let Your Majesty know the news soon!"

"Well. Prime Minister, please give me."

...

...

Erwin, who usually showed himself in a steady manner, was running invisibly in the corridors in the palace.

Knocking on Xiade's door, and after getting permission from Emperor Xiade in the room, Erwin pushed open the door directly.

Pushing open the door, the scene that appeared in front of Elvin was not at all unexpected - Emperor Xiade was still sitting at the table and looking at the set of books without covers.

However, Elvin didn't bother to be angry at Emperor Xiade, who was still reading this set of books. Elvin used the most concise words he could achieve to inform them of the major crisis they were facing at present.

When he learned that the Britannian army and the Sheeran army outside the city were planning to cut off the water source of their Bellu City, Shade's chin "falls" uncontrollably, making Shade's mouth open so that an egg could be stuffed into it.

And what Elvin said immediately brought Xia De's consciousness back to reality.

"Your Majesty! The first priority now is to quickly gather all the ministers and generals and work together! Taking advantage of the fact that there is still water available in the city, come up with a way to escape from the current danger!"

"At the same time - immediately send troops to control the wells with water in the city!"

"Not only that, you also need to buy all the water in the store in the city!"

"Whether it's drinks or drinks, buy all the drinks!"

"In short, all the water in the city must be collected and distributed by our central government!"

"From now on, all people will be allocated according to the quantity! Each household in the city will only allocate the minimum water! Reduce the water consumption, so that you can last longer!"

Elvin's suggestions woke Shade up.

"Yeah, yeah!" Xia De nodded with a dark face, "Elwin, just do what you said! Just tomorrow... no! The meeting will start tonight! All the important officials in the city must attend!"
