The First Tyrant of Daxia

Hearing this, Flo showed a satisfied smile on his face and nodded slightly: "Dear Tomili, I was too anxious just now, so my tone was a bit harsh."

"Your Majesty, you will be the king soon. You should have the dignity that belongs to a king."

Tomili bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Staring at Tomili's back, Flo's expression changed slightly. Suddenly, he pressed his eyebrows, with a look of doubt on his face.

"Strange! Why did Tomili come to see me just now?"

On the other side, Tomili left the palace and quickly came to a secluded dark corner. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, then took out a peculiarly shaped small object from her arms and put it in her mouth.

"call out!"

As she blew gently, the faint sound of the whistle floated up and blended into the vast night.

After about dozens of breaths, a black shadow flew down from the sky, circled twice above Tomili's head, and then fell down, stopping steadily on her shoulder.

It was a white-headed gyrfalcon, which tilted its head and looked at the human in front of it, as if it was waiting for something.

"Be good, I'll give it to you right away."

Tomili took out a written letter from her arms and stuffed it into the bamboo tube next to the Saker Falcon's paw.

In the letter, she recorded the recent situation in Ptolemy and told their troops that they did not need to take any action for the time being and would come to support them when Flo was desperate.

"There's an old saying in the East that giving timely assistance is better than icing on the cake." Tomili had a faint smile on her face, "It depends on how long he can hold on."

She patted Haidongqing's head gently and said with a smile: "Go and complete your mission."

Thumping!

The Saker Falcon flapped its wings and flew high, circled twice overhead, and then flew away into the distant sky.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Haidongqing, the smile on Tomili's lips gradually disappeared. She turned her head to look at the magnificent palace, a hint of disdain flashing across her eyes.

"Humph, the Queen... is just a chess piece in our hands. Do you really think she is here to be your wife? You are just daydreaming!"

After saying this, he swayed his figure, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

The darkness of the palace remained silent, and no one knew what was happening there.

The entire Ptolemaic capital began to become noisy from this moment on, with the sound of galloping horses and shouts intertwined together, making it seem extremely lively.

"You guys, go over there and see if there's any food!"

"The rest of you come with me and look for it on the other side!"

"All the food found today will be piled outside the palace for unified distribution!"

The soldiers were divided into different groups, running around the capital like locusts, searching for food.

Everyone worked hard and did not dare to be lazy at all, because they knew that this was their next military rations.

But everyone is not too worried, after all, this is the royal capital, and Ptolemy's richest and most powerful people once lived here.

Countless treasures and luxury goods were gathered in this city, accounting for almost 80% of the wealth of the entire dynasty, not to mention food.

"After I find the food, I'm going to have a good meal first!"

"Me too. I'm starving after fighting today."

"The rice shop is just ahead, let's go take a look!"

The two soldiers talked and came to a shop.

The store door was locked, but it couldn't stop the soldiers' swords, and they chopped it open in a few strokes.

However, the imagined scene of abundant food did not appear before our eyes.

The entire store was empty. Apart from a few grains of rice scattered on the ground, there was nothing else.

The two soldiers were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

One of them rubbed his eyes vigorously: "No, am I dazzled?"

The other swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "No, you didn't. I saw it too."

"So, where did the rice go?"

The two looked at each other, turned around and left without saying a word, heading straight for another shop at the end of the street.

After breaking down the door, the shop was still empty, with no food.

"Go! Next one!"

The two men were sweating profusely. They turned around and walked straight to other shops.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Not until they had searched all the shops on the street did the two soldiers stop and stand there, unable to speak for a long time.

Their eyes met, filled with panic.

"All the food on this street is gone?" the soldier said tremblingly.

"Let's go! We must report this news to the adults immediately!"

The two men immediately came to the palace, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw their direct superior kneeling in front of the hall.

Seeing the two people coming, the boss pressed them to the ground without saying a word.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Have you run out of food on that street?" The boss made a gesture to silence and asked in a low voice.

The soldier was stunned: "Boss, how did you know?"

The boss smiled bitterly and pointed to the front: "Look for yourself, those who are kneeling here are all those who have not found any food."

The soldier looked up and saw a dark mass in front of the hall. All the people who had been sent out to find food were here.

"Boss, there are so many people, and none of them have found any food?"

The boss looked solemn and whispered, "Maybe... there is not a single grain of food left in the entire capital."

At the same time, Flo looked at his men kneeling below with a look of astonishment on his face.

"You all didn't find any food?!"

At the front is the deputy who has followed Flo the longest.

He gritted his teeth and bowed his head, saying, "Sir, according to our search, the food in the entire capital may have been emptied long before we entered the capital!"

"Empty it? Who the hell did that?!"

Flo was furious and slammed the throne in anger and stood up.

The deputy didn't expect Flo to ask this, and thought to himself, don't you know who moved it?

But he couldn't say this out loud, so he could only whisper, "If I'm not mistaken, Cecilia must have ordered all the merchants in the city to move out all the food before she left."

Flo also realized that he had asked a stupid question. Apart from King Fubi's Cecilia family, who else had the ability to empty all the granaries in the city?

"This stupid woman is driving me to death!"

Veins bulged on Flo's forehead, and anger burned in his eyes. He wished he could strangle Cecilia to death with his own hands!

Without food, defending would be a joke!

This meant that the plans he had made previously were completely disrupted, and everything that happened next was no longer under his control!

The generals below did not dare to say much and could only kneel on the ground and tremble, for fear of angering the now angry Flo.

After being furious for a while, Flo finally calmed down and sat back on the throne.

After a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and stood up and walked out.
