Chapter 95 Daily Life in Otis City

Miller is a small worker in Audis City. As a native of the capital, Miller has been working for so many years and married a wife with a good appearance. A few years ago, he also had a lovely couple.

From this perspective, Miller is one of the more happy people among the Charlottes.

However, Miller didn't think so at this time.

Taking a breath of the frozen purple nose, Miller and a group of Schallo civilians, who were both civilian working class, gathered at the entrance of the market in Audis City.

They all came to receive relief food. Audis City has been surrounded for almost a month, and there is no import of external resources. Many people have starved to death in the city. If the nobles hadn't been merciful and helped these civilians who could not survive every day, Audis City would have been in chaos.

I don’t know how long I waited, but a huge stone door slowly opened in the market. When a group of Charo civilians saw it, they rushed over like a tide.

"Scatter! Scatter!" A whole group of large and round-waisted Charlottes waved their spears to drive away the excited civilians.

There are only one squadron of Charlottes, and there are at least a few thousand civilians here, so how can they suppress them?

The civilians of Charlotte are crazy and don't care whether the weapons on these soldiers are sharp or not.

Only halfway through the stone gate, it was blocked by the excited Charo civilians in the crowd and could not be opened.

"Stop!" Finally, a loud shout full of energy came. With the use of Dou Qi, the sound came, causing many close-knight civilians to cover their ears in pain, and a light red blood stain flowed out of their ears.

The Dou Qi is transformed into the form of sound waves. This is at least a high-level knight attendant. From his perfect control of Dou Qi, it can be seen that he is also the best among the high-level attendants.

The excited civilians in front were blocked, but countless people rushed over behind them, and the scene was still chaotic.

It was not until the high-level knight attendant in the lead used his sword to cut over several of the most powerful civilians in the Sharlotus that the chaos was restrained.

The group of civilians who had been hungry for a whole day finally calmed down by blood and sword light.

The leading high-level attendant of the Sharlotus stared at the group of civilians in front of him with cold eyes. All the Sharlotus civilians who met his eyes lowered their heads. They had no doubt that under the armor was a murderous devil who could not blink.

The stone door was completely opened, and the horse team that was more than ten meters long was exposed. Behind each horse, a flat wooden cart was pulled, and there were piles of half a person-high potatoes and rice potatoes on the wooden cart.

Every Charo civilian who saw food licked his lips unvoluntarily and swallowed the dry spit.

The food was distributed in an orderly manner. Every civilian who was suppressed dared not be arrogant again.

If you look at this scene from the top down, there are six places in the huge Audis City!

Miller is lucky, and he is smart in the middle of the line here.

There was less and less food on the wooden boards of the carriage in front, and Miller's heart became more and more anxious.

It was finally his turn. The horse team, which was more than ten meters long, had less than two boards of food at this time.

At this time, a man in front of him was praying to the soldier who was distributing the food, "Please give me another piece, I have a six-year-old child to raise."

This man looks quite old and his voice is also boring like a distinctive boring person in the north.

The soldier who sent him food was a young man with a young face. When facing a man who was much older than him, the young man looked embarrassed.

This should be a new recruit. Miller guessed that those veterans would not be polite to them, ordinary people, and they had already kicked them.

"If you want to love, how can you come from so much nonsense?" Sure enough, when the young soldier was raising the squad leader, he seemed to be a non-commissioned officer next to him. He grabbed a piece of potatoes held by the civilians and threw them out.

As the potatoes flew out, the greedy eyes of a group of Charlotte civilians were followed.

The man in front of Miller didn't care about asking for food, so he went to chase the potato. This was the food he and his son saved their lives today. If he lost it, he could only starve.

It was Miller's turn, so he would not have naive fantasies like the man before, but just politely said to the soldier who distributed his food to him, "Thank you!"

Whether it was the pure Charlotte King's accent or the friendly attitude, the soldier who distributed him the food had a good first impression of him, so he got a piece slightly larger than other potatoes.

After getting the potatoes in his hand, Miller did not stop here and hurriedly left.

There is not much food on the wooden board, but there are still half of the people here, and chaos will definitely happen later.

After a while, just as Miller walked out two hundred meters, a noise and a shout of scolding from soldiers came, accompanied by a wooden car crash and people were hurt.

Miller accelerated his pace and left this place of right and wrong.

The advantage of the royal capital was reflected at this time. After wandering around the city for two rounds, Miller got rid of those who might have followed him who were hungry and left with two skins on his chest.

When you walk to the place where you live, in the southwest corner of the royal city, there are large areas of townhouses, most of which are native to Audis City.

Because this place is closer to the Deshallo Palace than other places, most people really have no way to get a house here.

Miller stared at the group of people lying in groups of three or three in front of the townhouse. This was not all his neighbors because of the decline of the war in Charlotte.

In many areas that have fallen, a large number of nobles and civilians poured into Audis before the Fosterman besieged. Audis, which originally had 120,000 residents, now has 150,000 people, and are piled up here.

This is when a large number of civilians starve to death every day.

Miller's neighbor, a good man in his forties, never married his wife in his entire life. Some time ago, he adopted a child who escaped, but was looted by refugees who fled with the child.

Not only was the food snatched, but he himself was beaten and thrown away. As for the child he adopted, he had been driven away by the scumbags together with him. Now the father and the two are still picking up food in the city.

If Miller hadn't been hostile to this group of outsiders, along with his old neighbors who had lived with him for many years, they would have been aware of it.

But the good times are not long. There are more and more refugees from other places here. This group of people are hungry every day and can't do anything. They just lie straight there and "lying on the corpse", staring at the passing people with prominent eyes. It makes people shudder.

Miller had seen so many times that he would not be afraid of them, nor would he provoke them. He hid the food he had just received and walked past the refugees lying around on the ground with his waist.

He even accidentally stepped on some unlucky guy, leaving a scream that came on the road.

Walking to a yellow wooden door with a white yellow board, Miller knocked on the wooden board blocking the window. After a while, a smart little face appeared, and Miller's tense face finally relaxed.

"Bob, open the door!" Miller said with a smile to the child in the door.

The forty square cottage has only a small kitchen and a bedroom. Miller's family of four are crowded in this small house.

Miller put the potatoes he received in a wooden bowl in the kitchen. His children were all shining with big eyes, leaning on both sides of Miller, and they knew that this was their food today. The two little guys were greedy all over the floor.

After a while, Miller's wife came back. This was a woman who looked not much worse than Miller, Betty, Miller's wife.

Betty didn't have the spoiledness of a southern woman. At the time when the two met, Miller fell in love with a cheerful personality and was no worse than a man in his work. Betty came to work in the capital.

In the end, Miller stood out among many Betty's suitors with his identity as a city man and the advantage of owning a city house.

Betty gave birth to a son for him six years ago and another daughter for four years ago. The family should have lived happily for the rest of their lives, but the fact is...

Betty, who had just returned home, took off her coat and took out a palm-sized potato. There was only one coat at home, which Miller didn't wear, leaving for his wife. He was frozen so hard before.

"I'm lucky today and I got a piece of potato." Betty said in ease. Years of hard life and hardship in recent years have left this Betty, who was a beauty when he was young, and only has deep wrinkles and dry hands left.

Betty is very thin, and it is caused by malnutrition all the time. It is impossible to tell that she is already a mother of two children.

Like Miller receiving relief food at the market, Betty received it from another place. In order to prevent chaos, the nobles sent food separately to men and women.

Don’t think that Betty is all women, it’s much better than Miller’s side. Instead, because she is a woman, she’s even more crazy.

Sharlot's soldiers can attack civilians or refugee men like Miller, but they rarely attack women. The soldiers also have a conscience. They cannot beat the Fosters on the front line and have no face to attack women in their own country. No matter how cold-blooded he is.

It is precisely because of this that the women were receiving relief food, which became even more chaotic. A group of women went up to grab food with their teeth and claws, and it would be great that the soldiers could maintain order.

Betty also snatched a piece of potato with her tall and strong strength. The price was that there were a few more scratches and bruises on her arms. The group of women were no worse than men when they started to move.

"It seems that I can eat a little more full today." Miller squeezed out a smile. He was busy finding medicinal wine for Betty. It was very messy outside recently, and their family often has something like medicinal wine.

Betty began preparing their dinner, simple stewed mashed potatoes, sprinkled with a little salt and crushed wild vegetables, which was the supreme delicacy of the common people.

Feeling the husband carefully rubbing the medicinal wine on the wound, Betty's heart was peaceful.

Although she didn't enjoy any blessing after following this man, this is the way of the world. Betty had no complaints at all. She was a cheerful person, but she was crushed by reality.
