Chapter 237.2
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Through the Empire Sandbox, Lin Beifan discovered a swarm of locusts that blotted out the sky, flying in from Great Luo.
Lin Beifan was aware of the locust plague in Great Luo.
In fact, he was not without blame for it.
When the Great Xia army invaded Great Luo, he used the Empire Sandbox to drain the groundwater within Great Luos territory.
Without water, the air became hot and dry, which facilitated the breeding of locusts, leading to the plague.
Lin Beifan was quite calm about the locust plague that terrified many Emperors.
Just a little locust plague. Watch how I eradicate it!
He immediately used the Hand of Weather to make a drizzle over the White Tiger Mountain Range.
The rain was light, perfect for watering the crops without affecting peoples lives.
However, this rain was lethal to the locusts!
Once the locusts got wet, their bodies became heavy, and they could no longer fly.
Thats why locusts particularly despise water, especially rain.
So, when they reached the White Tiger Mountain Range, they couldnt fly over and kept buzzing around outside.
In the Great Luo imperial palace, a soldier reported.
Report to Your Majesty, the locusts have flown over the White Tiger Mountain Range! However, because it has started to rain in Great Xia, the locusts have not crossed the border but are lingering outside.
The locusts arrive and it starts to rain. What good luck! The Emperor of Great Luo raged with envy.
He noticed that Great Xia always seemed to turn misfortune into fortune whenever faced with natural disasters.
But he did not believe that the heavens would always favor them.
Such light rain shouldnt last long, so it will stop soon. Continue to keep an eye on Great Xia!
Yes, Your Majesty!
By the second day, the rain was still falling, and the locusts still couldnt fly over.
It was as if there was a dragons den or tigers lair ahead, and flying over meant certain death.
The Emperor of Great Luo was puzzled. This light rain had persisted too long, continuing for two days.
Such hot weather is not the usual time for light rain.
If it had been a torrential downpour for two days instead, he would have been pleased.
Keep watching!
Yes, Your Majesty!Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
On the third day, the rain continued, gentle like spring rain, silently nourishing everything.
However, the wind had hardly weakened after a day and a night of effort, and they were left gasping for breath from exhaustion.
On the second day, they continued to fight the locusts, and the wind continued to blow.
The lit poisonous smoke was blown away before it could even rise.
Watching his grain supply dwindle bit by bit, the Great Luo Emperor was deeply pained and turned to the peerless beauty beside him.
Fairy Yufei, do you have any solutions? If this continues, all our grain will be devoured!
Song Yufei gave a wry smile, Your Majesty, there really is no way this time. We can only wait for the wind to stop.
Alas! The Great Luo Emperor sighed deeply.
And so they waited, one day, two days, three days
The wind showed no signs of weakening.
Nor did it grow stronger.
It just kept blowing moderately, perfectly sweeping away the dust and smoke, yet not the locusts, leading to an ever-decreasing supply of grain.
The Great Luo Emperor had tried everything, even praying to the gods and worshipping Buddha, but to no avail.
The Great Luo Emperor was extremely frustrated, Keep going! Keep going! Otherwise, all the grain will be gone! Without grain, what will you eat or drink?
But Your Majesty, we are really exhausted a general said weakly.
They had been fighting the locusts for five or six days straight, working tirelessly day and night.
Even though he is a strong martial artist, he was tired after working tirelessly for five or six days straight.
The Great Luo Emperor shouted, No matter how tired, you must continue, or I will take your heads off!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth, supporting their exhausted bodies, and continue exterminating the locusts.
Soldiers started to fall in droves, but the locusts showed no signs of decreasing. In fact, there seemed to be even more of them.
Even within the cities, a large number of locusts had infiltrated.
Great Luo Emperor watched his soldiers, weary to the bone, and fervently rallied them with impassioned encouragement, You are all Great Luos brave sons! Do not give up! You must hold on, in perseverance there is victory! Victory will surely be ours!
Thus, they persisted for half a month, and finally, the locusts flew away.
It wasnt that they had defeated the locusts, but rather that the locusts had consumed all there was to eat and had to move on to new feeding grounds.
Great Luo Emperor looked at the unrecognizable rice fields and wailed, My grains are gone!
