Chapter 1169: I Wanted to Slap This Nasty Guy Long Ago (Part Two)

Instead of leaving right away, Fei stayed with the senior and waited until the latter devoured the food.

During this time, he didn't see Fatty Elton coming back here with a group of henchmen for revenge.

Fei and the others were about to leave, and Jean and Tanya took that poor woman along.

“Hey, you can't take her away! She is mine…” the man who was selling this woman shouted. He saw what Fei and the three girls looked like, so he decided to run over and be a nuisance to get something of value.

Pia!

Tanya waved her hand and slapped that man away.

“Haha! Good!” Tanya rubbed her hand and giggled, “I wanted to slap this nasty guy long ago! Don't try to take advantage of those who look kind!”

The young woman who looked numb s.h.i.+vered a little with fear in her eyes, but she still decided to follow Fei and the three girls.

Next, the group of five wandered around the City of Iduna.

The situation in the city was far worse than Fei and the others' expectations. Many refugees crowded the city, making food and drinkable water extremely scarce. It was heard that some places in the city were so disorderly that murders, robberies, and cannibalization were common practices.

The military in the city had to focus more than 90 percent of resources on fighting the goblins, and peace and order inside the city could only be maintained at a surface level.

Later, Fei and the others found that the entire City of Iduna was strictly divided into a few levels.

Those top-tier n.o.bles lived in big mansions and enjoyed food and liquor to their hearts' content. They were wasteful, and their treatment was better than the military even though they weren't helping with the defense of the city.

Due to the imminent danger and seemingly no escape from death, these n.o.bles unleashed all their dark desires in their minds. They bullied the civilians and refugees and tried to satisfy their desires as much as possible.

The giant city was divided into high-level zones and low-level zones.

The people living in the residential areas, the markets, and on the streets were mostly families of the military. The young men were all pulled onto the city wall to fight with the goblins that were sieging the city day and night, and they would earn a little bit of resources to barely cover the needs of their families. Once the young men died in battle, their families could only receive a little bit of compensation.

This seemingly peaceful city was full of hidden sharp conflicts.

If it weren't for the terrifying pressure in reality that the goblins exerted on the humans in the city, suppressing these sharp conflicts, chaos and havoc would have broken out in the city long ago.

Fei and the others returned to the campsite of the expeditionary troop, and they didn't attract any attention.

Fei wasn't eager to show himself before everyone and reveal his ident.i.ty.

After seeing the situation in the City of Iduna, Fei secretly ordered the mage legion of the Northern Region Empire to start building the super-long-distance magic teleportation arrays.

For Iduna, once such a tunnel was created, food and various strategic resources could be moved from the Northern Region into the city, alleviating the shortage of necessities.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Northern Region Empire could be teleported here while the people in the city could be s.h.i.+fted out.

The only thing was that with goblins everywhere in the Southern Region, it was tough to build a series of super-long-distance magic teleportation arrays that could connect the City of Iduna with the Northern Region Empire.

Another method was needed to address the imminent crisis.

Fei turned his gaze toward the extremely wasteful and guilty n.o.bles. After all, it wasn't Fei's first time dealing with this group of people.

On the second day, Head Commander Götze of the Military of Ormond came into the campsite of the expeditionary troop to apologize to the Northern Region Empire.
