Chapter 127: Chapter 94: New Version of Epiphyllum Elixir? The Luo Family’s Fourth Viscera Refinement!_2

“The resistance is getting stronger?”

“More cultivators have emerged from East Earth Town?”

Hearing this, Luo Yong couldn’t help but slightly frown as he muttered to himself, “Could it be that the family clans from East Earth Town have started to make their moves?”

“Have they directly sent members of their clan to the battlefield?”

“If that’s the case, it would make sense…”

After considering this, Luo Yong turned to the deputy general in front of him and ordered, “In that case, let’s also push our cultivator troops to the front. It’s somewhat unfavorable for ordinary soldiers to face those cultivators…”

The deputy general responded loudly, “Yes!”

…

Following Luo Yong’s deployment of the cultivator troops in the army,

the balance of this war once again gradually began to tilt toward the Luo Family’s side.

The family members on top of the walls of East Earth Town,

if said nicely, were cultivators.

If not, they were merely flowers from a greenhouse.

Their cultivation might be decent,

but how could these sheltered young masters, who had never faced much bloodshed or war, stand against the Luo Family cultivators who had climbed up from mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

…

Outside East Earth Town,

the war between the Luo Family and the Five Towns Alliance forces of East Earth Town gradually entered an intense stage.

Inside Qingshi Town, within the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

Luo Ping, the incumbent Family Head of the Luo Family, was currently in a room,

constantly dealing with the mountain of various political affairs.

“Father, the trade caravan from the Luo Family in Jiangnan Prefecture has left…”

Inside the room, Luo Chuan said softly.

“The Luo Family people left?”

Hearing this, Luo Ping raised his head to look at Luo Chuan in front of him and quietly asked, “Then, how did the negotiations go for the subsequent transactions… with the Luo Family there?”

“Quite well,”

Luo Chuan calmly nodded, then continued, “In about half a month, the Luo Family will transport the second batch of grain here, which will be far more than the amount of the first shipment…”

“That’s good news,”

Luo Ping peered at Luo Chuan in front of him and after a moment of contemplation, he asked, “How about the situation in East Earth Town, how is the war there?”

“It seems to be going smoothly.”

“Uncle said, at most ten days and we can take East Earth Town.”

Luo Ping slightly furrowed his brow, surprised, he asked, “Ten days?”

Luo Chuan, who was in the room, seemed to sense the confusion on his father’s face.

Thus, he explained, “The Ding Family in East Earth Town is powerful and holds high prestige among the nearby towns.”

“Recently, the Ding Family has gathered the forces of several small towns nearby, forming a Five Towns Alliance.”

“With no less than a hundred thousand armored soldiers under their command.”

“Therefore, it takes some longer time.”

“Is that so?” Luo Ping, upon hearing this explanation, finally came to a realization.

He was not unaware of the combat strength of the elite army under Luo Yong’s command.

Logically speaking, if they wanted to take down a town,

it would be a short matter of two days, or at most three days.

At the very most, it wouldn’t exceed five days.

But now, it actually required such a long time, there must be a reason for this.

“Is the water level of Huai Shui still dropping?”

“It has continued to decline over the past few days…”

“Is the number of locusts you told me about still increasing?”

Luo Chuan thought for a moment, then replied, “Although we already took precautions against the increasing number of locusts, the effect doesn’t seem to be particularly significant…”

“If that’s the case, then it’s a bit troublesome.”

Luo Ping’s brow creased slightly, his emotions appearing to become somewhat less pleasant.

People often say that after a severe drought, disaster will follow.

In recent years, with the passing of time,

the drought has become increasingly severe.

Countless people were rendered homeless, numerous fields cracked and became barren lands.

Many crops withered and died.

Last year, things in Huai Shui County were still manageable.

After all, Huai Shui County was adjacent to the ever-flowing Huai River.

The issue of water resources was not particularly fatal.

But since the start of this year, the situation has been a bit different.

Once winter passed, the outdoor temperatures started to crazily rise.

By noon each day, the outside was like a large furnace,

the heat so intense that it was difficult to endure the high temperatures.

Even, due to the influence of this high heat,

the water level of Huai River near Huai Shui County has been continuously declining during this period.

The decline is noticeably steep,

lower than the lowest levels of the river in previous years.

If this continues…

Luo Ping was indeed worried.

The water of Huai River next to Huai Shui County would gradually dry up,

until it completely vanished.

“Are the deep wells still being dug?”

As the room grew increasingly silent,

Luo Ping, seated at the head, once again inquired.

“The number of deep wells has doubled compared to a few days ago,”

“But the water output is not substantial.”

“If the Huai River completely dries up, those deep wells might last a short while, but I fear they won’t hold out for long,”

Luo Chuan said with a rather calm expression.

…

A moment later,

Luo Chuan left the room where his father was dealing with political affairs.

Truly, all they needed was to establish trust and a friendship with the Luo Family in Jiangnan Prefecture.
