As it turned out, Jenn's judgment was correct.
On the second day after the cotton-padded clothes were distributed, the Priests in charge of supervising the construction site discovered that some people didn't come to work.
They weren't thugs, but these people weren't hardworking either. After receiving the cotton-padded clothes, these people felt that it was enough, so they didn't plan to work anymore.
In the face of such a situation, the priests were also very angry. They finally understood why Zayen would say to them, "Everyone is born with a personality, and not everyone has a good quality to be grateful.
For some people, even if you saved their life, they will still remember that you drank a mouthful of water from them … "
Originally, the Priests thought that it was just a joke that Jenn said, but when they really encountered such a situation, they were quite dissatisfied.
As for how to deal with these lazy people, the Succubus Priests also had different opinions. Some people thought that they should be arrested and forced to work, while others thought that they should be confiscated.
In the end, Aili gathered everyone's opinions and came to ask, and Jenn easily gave an answer.
"Didn't we sign a labor contract with them?
Just do it according to the contract. "
And so, Aili knew what to do.
And then, the workers who didn't work were considered to be in big trouble.
Heavily armed soldiers rushed directly into the homes and forced the lazy workers who refused to get up from their beds to make two choices. Either they had to pay for the damages caused by refusing to go to work, or they had to be forced to work, or they had to go to jail.
In the end, under the threat of swords and prison, these people had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to work.
But this time, the Priests weren't so easy to deal with. For these workers who violated the contract, they arranged for them to work in the front line that didn't require much technical content, but was very hard and tiring.
And as for the punishment of these workers, no one said much.
After all, everyone was treated the same. You were drinking and having fun at home, while I was sleeping and eating in the open. Anyone would be unhappy if it was them.
Therefore, seeing those who tried to slack off being chased back to do the roughest work, the others were secretly happy, and their enthusiasm for work increased a lot.
And just as Baishi City was undergoing construction, in the distant mountains, a person was working hard in the direction of Baishi City.
"Bah!!"
Bird looked up and spat.
His face was as white as snow, and a large patch of frost on his beard was steaming. But this didn't make Bord feel any better.
He struggled to pull his legs out of the knee-deep snow and struggled to move forward.
As a secret agent of the Golden Eagle Country, Bord did not have to suffer like this.
He was considered a respectable person in the Golden Eagle Country. Logically speaking, in this snowy weather, he should be lying in his warm home, hugging the daughter of some noble family and enjoying himself. He shouldn't be walking on this rugged and uneven mountain road, like a tortoise crawling on a tortoise's back.
But …
At this thought, Bord stretched out his hand and squeezed the envelope in his arms. He heaved a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.
The reason why he came here was for one thing — General Huss and his army.
At the beginning, the Golden Eagle Country was very calm about the attack on Baishi City. To them, Baishi City was a rundown place that they had defeated once. Now, they had no men and no soldiers. To them, as long as General Husi and his army arrived, Baishi City would obediently surrender.
Next, they would probably have to plunder Baishi City's wealth and food, as well as escort the slaves.
Even the king of the Phoenix Country thought that General Husi would return in at most half a month.
Therefore, they waited and waited. After half a month, there was still no news from General Husi.
To this, the king of the Phoenix Country's explanation was that General Husi's harvest was beyond imagination, and it was difficult to just transport it back, hence the delay.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, and even jokingly asked everyone to prepare more, in case General Husi returned with a full harvest, but the warehouse was full of them.
Therefore, just like that … another half a month passed.
There was still no news from General Husi, and it was about time for it to start snowing.
This caused the atmosphere in the Golden Eagle Country to become a little strange. In winter, the mountains were sealed off by heavy snow, and the roads would be even more difficult to traverse.
It was impossible for General Husi not to know this. Even if he did not have time to pack up after the battle, he should at least send a messenger back to inform them, right?
But after such a long time, there was still no news from General Husi. This made people feel that something was not right.
Of course, until now, the people of the Golden Eagle Country still did not believe that General Hu Si would be defeated. Even the most pessimistic people would only think that the people of White Stone City had set up some despicable and cunning trap, causing General Hu Si to fall for it. That was why he did not find out about it.
Even so, most people still believed that General Husi and his elite soldiers had only suffered a temporary setback, and would eventually return with victory.
This optimistic attitude lasted until the first snowfall — the king of the Phoenix Country could not sit still anymore.
Now, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Golden Eagle Country felt that General Husi might have met with some trouble — at least, there was definitely something wrong.
That was why the King of Phoenix had sent his best spy with his letter to White Stone City to check on the situation. Bord thought that the best case scenario would be that General Huss had managed to take over White Stone City with all his might, but was unable to contact the Golden Eagle Nation because of the heavy snow that had sealed off the mountains.
If that was the case, he could just say a few words and hand over the letter.
As for the worst case scenario … frankly speaking, Bord did not know what the worst case scenario was.
Perhaps similar thoughts would occasionally flash through his mind, but Bord would only shake his head and toss those ominous premonitions and thoughts to the back of his mind. After all, no matter how one looked at it, it was impossible.
They were not far from Baishi City.
Bord pulled himself together and walked slowly to the edge of the forest. Then, he raised his head, stretched out his hand to block his eyes, and looked in the direction of Baishi City.
Then, Bord was taken aback.
In the distance, Baishi City was still standing under the blanket of white snow. From the outside, there were no signs of it being attacked.
And from afar, the fluttering flag above Baishi City did not seem to be the flag of the Golden Eagle Country. The flag of the Golden Eagle Country was blue and white, while the flag of Baishi City was red and black.
But … What exactly is going on?
Could it be that General Husi failed to take down Baishi City?
How is that possible?
Bord rubbed his eyes and decided to get closer to check on the situation.
At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from behind him.
Swoosh!
As a spy, Bord was naturally extremely vigilant. The moment he heard the sound, he instinctively rolled on the ground, trying to avoid this sudden sneak attack.
But even so, he was one step too late. Bord felt a burning pain on his arm, and in the next moment, blood spurted out.
It's a trap!
Damn it, who is it?
Is it a hunter?
Or is it the Baishi army?
Where are General Husi's men?
Various thoughts flashed through Bord's mind, and he immediately dashed into the dense forest at the side, running towards the depths of the forest.
It was apparent that he intended to use the dense forest as his cover.
Shortly after Bord left, two figures walked over from the other side with a swoosh.
"Ina, your skills have deteriorated?
How can you miss an enemy like that? "
Tilly gazed at Ina in astonishment and revealed an unmistakable look of astonishment.
It wasn't surprising because there weren't any powerful beings in the Inner Mainland who could materialize spiritual powers. Even a spy like Bord was only an ordinary person in their eyes.
As for Ina, she was a Succubus and a Half-Elf Sharpshooter, yet she had missed her target. This surprised Tilly greatly. Ever since she had known Ina, she had never seen Ina miss her target.
"Heh heh heh, I did it on purpose."
Upon hearing Tilly's question, Ina couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
"Directly killing him would be letting him off too easily. Anyway, Master said that those who dare to peep on us should all be dealt with and taught a memorable lesson.
If we kill him just like that, what kind of lesson would it be? So … "
"So?"
"I used a little of that."
"…"
Upon hearing Ina's answer, Tilly pondered in silence for a few moments before letting out a helpless sigh.
"Clean up this mess yourself. Anyway, I won't be responsible if Master asks."
