Allen struggled to get up from the bed. The situation in the fortress had become worse in recent months.
Guns can no longer be sold at all. Many towns have their own weapons workshops. Direct transactions with some towns are no longer possible. Private possession of weapons is a felony in many towns. In addition, their transportation is inconvenient, making it difficult to
Go to distant places to trade.
The blockade of the fortress in the town has reached the most severe level. Anyone who dares to make a deal with Allen will be punished with very severe penalties or even be hanged. Although many people want to continue trading with Allen
, but retreated in the face of hanging.
There is now a serious shortage of food in the fortress. Allen has asked everyone to use resources to build shacks. But obviously the situation is terrible now. There is another quarrel outside. Allen immediately goes out. Seeing the quarrel getting worse, he fires a shot.
gun, but the quarrel continued until Allen's men came over and finally calmed down the quarrel.
"What exactly are you arguing about?"
Allen asked. It turned out that when people on both sides were eating, one person felt that the other had eaten too much, so they started to quarrel. Looking at the eager faces, Allen was panicking in his heart.
Allen originally thought that the threat from Jed and Su Kang was only temporary, but he did not expect that the two men were so determined this time. Allen also knew that if the blockade continued like this, there would be big problems. He considered joining the financial system, but once
Joining is bound to require bloodletting.
Allen had previously arranged for many people to go out to ambush and rob some pedestrians on the road. The effect was very good, and they could often grab something. However, this kind of thing was soon put to an end by the security teams of the towns patrolling along the way.
If caught, they will be executed directly.
At this moment, a man ran over quickly. Allen immediately asked the people on both sides to disperse, and said that the lack of food was only temporary, and he would get better if he persisted for a while.
The person who came over was responsible for contacting Allen's undercovers, and Allen called them into the office.
"What?"
After hearing from this person that the gods would select a group of people to go directly to the base of the gods to build a town, this was a huge shock to Allen.
"What about the conditions?"
Allen asked, and the person who came over immediately shook his head and said.
"Lord Jean said that the gods will personally come down to select 50 men and 50 women. I don't know the conditions. It should depend on who the gods choose."
Allen was a little excited at this moment. He immediately asked this person to tell the undercovers that they must strive for the opportunity to go to the gods. Once an undercover came over, what exactly were the gods doing there, including some technology and production?
All materials are available.
Allen laughed heartily, and after his men left, his wife walked in.
"What's wrong, dear, did something good happen to you?"
Allen explained something in a showy way, and his wife said with a solemn expression.
"Alan, I don't think this is good. At least there is peace now. We can't rely on force and plunder like in the past."
Allen shook his head.
