Without waiting for more people to go up and try, the king’s knights and guards rushed over and immediately surrounded them. They didn’t allow anyone to get close, but they didn’t chase them away either.
The citizens stood on tiptoes to watch from the outside, their eyes filled with joy and worship.
They had never seen such a large amount of food before. It was even larger than the entire capital combined.
The people who were originally suspicious of the so-called archaic god were now rapidly changing. The power of faith that was originally not much was now increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. They acknowledged it from the bottom of their hearts.
One by one, they began to become devout believers, their bodies surging with an enormous amount of power of faith.
After this baptism, they would definitely spread even more widely. There would be another increase in power after this. This was caused by the display of a divine miracle.
Compared to word of mouth, there was nothing more reliable than the truth.
After the Knights surrounded them, Li Yu rushed to the scene with his officials and generals. They looked at the ocean of rice grains. Just the natural flow had flattened a few nearby mountains. They couldn’t describe the feelings deep in their hearts at this moment.
Even though Li Yu had seen the scene of an archaic God attacking once, he was still so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
This scene was beyond everyone’s imagination.
With the food in front of them, they would be able to last until next year. After the natural disaster passed, everything would be rebuilt, and the internal turmoil would also subside on its own.
Before the food was used up, the Bauhinia Kingdom would remain stable and unshakable.
“Your Majesty, there is hope. With this vast sea of rice, it will probably be enough for the entire Bauhinia kingdom to eat for several years.” An internal affairs official was extremely excited.
Any natural disaster and famine turned into nothingness in front of this sea of rice.
“Not only that, these rice grains seem to be filled with abundant energy, far surpassing ordinary rice. When our warriors consume these rice grains, they can quickly replenish the energy and blood in their bodies and quickly increase their cultivation.”
The commander of the Knights watched closely. After carefully comprehending the situation, he rushed forward to report.
One had to know that once one became a warrior, their food intake would greatly increase. Self-cultivation would not be able to satisfy their food needs. Eating ten cows a day was a normal consumption. It was nothing at all.
It was also because of this that the Warriors’ food intake was too shocking. Many places became poor because of the warriors’ appetite.
However, it was impossible not to nurture the warriors. They were an important force in defending the kingdom.
However, if there was such amazing rice, martial artists would only need to eat a little bit to be full. That would save a lot of ordinary food for the people.
“There’s such a change?” A general was shocked and went forward to sense.
“As expected of the rice given by the god. The god is too generous.”
“I didn’t expect that we would have the chance to taste a god’s rice. How fortunate.”
“The smell of the divine rice is too good. I can’t help but want to cultivate when I smell it. I feel a few years younger.”
“This is all thanks to His Majesty the King. Without His Majesty the King, the situation today would not have been possible.”
The officials and generals were very excited and began to discuss in private.
Li Yu quickly adjusted himself and waved to the commander of the Knights. He ordered, “Alright, this time, the news of the food given by the god is not allowed to be spread. Leader of the Knights, keep all the civilians that you see here and guard them together. Dispatch the troops to move these divine rice away and put them into the Royal Warehouse.”
“The strength of the guards has been increased to the maximum recently. Do not let others take it away.”
