Frankish Empire, Bellu City, General Headquarters.

"Is there still no movement from the Britannia Army and Hiran Army...?"

Allen rubbed his temples on both sides of his head and asked a general in front of him.

"Yeah." The general standing in front of Allen's desk nodded solemnly, "There's no movement."

"...I understand. You go down first."

"yes!"

After the general left, Allen raised his head and sighed.

"What exactly are Su Cheng and that El... planning to do..."

A full two months have passed since the coalition forces of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army arrived at Bailu City.

In the past two months, the generals of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army have remained motionless.

Did nothing, just besieged the city silently.

Allen thought of various possibilities, but did not figure out what Su Cheng and El planned to do...

After once again learning that there was no movement from the generals of the two armies outside the city, Allen couldn't help but sigh like this.

However - just as Allen finished expressing his emotion, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Coach! Coach Allen!"

"What's the matter?" Allen asked the general who hurriedly broke into the room.

"The city, many wells in the city suddenly stopped getting water!"

"What?!" Allen's pupils shrank suddenly, "How many wells have dried up?"

"1. 18 seats!"

"Seater 18?!" Allen stood up with a whoosh, "Take me to see those dry wells!"

"yes!"

…

…

Under the guidance of this general, Allen hurried to the nearest well that had dried up.

This dry well was surrounded by many city residents with different expressions, as well as soldiers guarding the well to prevent the city residents from approaching.

Although long before the war began, the Frankish Empire Central Committee had arranged for the citizens of Belu to evacuate Belu in an orderly manner.

However, due to lack of time, there are still more than 400,000 civilians in Belu City.

Next to the dry wellhead, a middle-aged man was lying down, looking down at the dark wellhead.

After seeing Allen coming, the middle-aged man immediately stood up, saluted to Allen, and introduced himself.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was a hydrology expert who had just arrived to see why the well had dried up.

After learning that this person was a hydrology expert, Allen hurriedly asked this person:

"Your Excellency! Can't you draw water from this well? Have you found out the reason?"

"I found it out..." The hydrology expert sighed, "The reason why this well cannot pump water is very simple..."

"It's just because there's no water."

"Without water, naturally we can't get water."

"No water?!" Alan exclaimed, "Why is there no water?!"

"...I'm still investigating the specific reasons."

Speaking of this, the hydrology expert paused.

After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice to Allen:

"But... I think the most likely reason why this well has dried up is because there is something wrong with Lake Steyr outside the city..."

"Styrsee?"

"Coach Allen, you should also know - our water wells in Bellu City all lead directly to Lake Steyr."

"I know."

"Generally speaking, it is impossible for the wells in our Bailu City to suddenly run out of water."

"The only reason I can think of is that there is something wrong with Lake Steyrsee outside the city."

"For example... there is no water in Lake Steyr..."

"There is no water in Lake Steyr, and naturally our wells that lead directly to Lake Steyr are out of water..."

"Styr Lake... there is no water...?" Allen's pupils dilated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A terrible idea emerged in Allen's mind.

This terrifying idea quickly occupied Allen's entire brain at a terrifying speed.

Allen was frightened by the terrifying idea in his mind. Like a conditioned reflex, he spread his legs and ran towards the palace...

…

…

"What?!"

Erwin looked at Alan in front of him with a horrified look.

"The Britannia Army and the Hiran Army...are planning to cut off our water supply?!"

"That's right." Allen nodded solemnly, "If the purpose of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army is to drain Lake Steyr and cut off our water source, then these two There’s an explanation for Yue Lai’s inaction!”

"They are not standing still!"

"They are just secretly making preparations to capture our Bailu!"

Even without Allen's detailed introduction, Erwin himself knew what a terrible consequence would be if the water supply in Bailu City was cut off...

"I'm going to find your Majesty now!" Erwin said urgently, "Your Majesty must know the news as soon as possible!"

"Yes. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I'm begging you."

…

…

Erwin, who usually showed a steady attitude, was now running in the corridor of the palace without any image.

After knocking on Shade's door, Erwin opened the door directly after getting permission from Emperor Shade in the room.

When he opened the door, the scene that appeared in front of Erwin did not surprise Erwin at all - Emperor Shade was still sitting at the table looking at the set of books without covers.

However, Erwin didn't care to be angry with Emperor Shade who was still reading this set of books. Erwin used the most concise words he could to tell them about the major crisis they were currently facing.

When he learned that the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army outside the city planned to cut off the water source of their Bailu City, Shade's jaw "dropped" uncontrollably, making Shade's mouth open enough to stuff it inside. Add an egg.

And Erwin's next words brought Shade's consciousness back to reality.

"Your Majesty! The first priority now is to quickly gather the ministers and generals and work together! While there is still water available in the city, we can figure out a way to get out of this dangerous situation!"

"At the same time - immediately send troops to control the wells that still have water in the city!"

"Not only that, but also buy all the water in the shops in the empty city!"

“Whether it’s drinks or drinks, buy them all!”

"In short - all the water in the city must be collected by our central government for our own use and distribution!"

"From now on, everyone will be allocated according to the amount! Every household in the city will only be allocated the minimum amount of water! Reduce water consumption, so that you can survive for a while!"

Erwin's suggestions woke Shade up.

"Yeah, yeah!" Shade nodded with a dark face, "Erwin, just do what you said! Just tomorrow... No! Let's start the meeting tonight! All the important ministers and generals in the city All officials must participate!”

"yes!"
