Chapter 215.2

By the way, how are the other countries faring?

The Great Luo Emperor thought for a moment and added, Theres no need to report on Great Xias situation, I dont want to hear it!

Yes, Your Majesty! the Minister of Revenue stepped forward.

Your Majesty, according to the information we have gathered, the Great D Dynasty has suffered approximately 2 million human fatalities in this ice disaster! The number of livestock that froze to death includes 10,000 cattle, 10,000 horses, 5,000 donkeys, 8,000 sheep, 12,000 pigs, and a combined total of around 120,000 chickens, ducks, and geese!

The complexion of the Great Luo Emperor gradually became troubled.

Originally, he had hoped to comfort himself by comparing his own countrys situation with the misfortunes of other nations and to boost the morale of his people.

But now, he realized that the gap between Great Luo and Great D was not as wide as he thought.

For instance, in terms of human fatalities, Great Luo had 1 million deaths, while Great D had 2 million. It seemed like a difference of double, but considering the population base of both countries, the difference was less than 5 percent, almost negligible.

And when it came to the loss of livestock, both sides were basically on par.

This situation was quite unusual!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Keep in mind that he had mobilized the entire nations resources to combat the disaster.

Great Luo had made preparations ahead of Great D Dynasty, yet the gap was not significantly widened.

The Great Luo Emperor pinched the bridge of his nose and knocked on the table: Are these figures accurate? Could there be any discrepancies?

The Minister of Revenue immediately reported: Report to Your Majesty, this data has been obtained from our insiders and corroborated by spies within the territory of Great D. The information is probably accurate and reliable!

The Great Luo Emperor became disheartened.

Despite all the preparations and sacrifices, they still hadnt managed to outpace Great D.

He could only console himself by thinking: The Great D Dynasty is an established dynasty with profound heritage and strength, so its understandable that they would fare like this in such a situation.

How about the Great Feng Dynasty? Their losses must be quite severe, right? the Great Luo Emperor inquired.

Report to Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the Great Feng Dynasty has suffered approximately 4 million human fatalities in this ice disaster! The number of livestock that froze to death includes 15,000 cattle, 12,000 horses, 6,000 donkeys, 10,000 sheep, 15,000 pigs, and a combined total of around 150,000 chickens, ducks, and geese!

The Great Luo Emperor was disheartened once again.

He found that aside from a higher number of human deaths, the other losses suffered by the Great Feng Dynasty were not much greater than those of the Great Luo.

Its important to note that the Great Feng Dynasty could hardly be considered a dynasty anymore.

Their national power had severely declined, and they barely had the strength and resources to protect their livestock and property.

Yet, their losses were almost the same as those of Great Luo.

At this moment, Song Yufei floats over gracefully.

Holding the data, Great Luo Emperor demanded, Fairy, what is going on? Why has Great Luo put forth such tremendous effort only to reap so little in the end? Fairy, can you tell me why?

Song Yufei replied with a touch of sympathy, Your Majesty, according to our Taoist Sects investigations, Great Luo faced more extreme weather conditions than any other country during this ice disaster!

In Great Luo, the winds are stronger, the snow is heavier, and the weather is colder! If other countries faced an ice disaster that occurs once every fifty years, then what we in Great Luo have encountered is equivalent to a once-in-a-century ice disaster!

Ah? But why? Why do others face a disaster that happens once every fifty years, while Great Luo faces one that occurs once a century? ? Why does the heavens treat me this way? Great Luo Emperor staggered back three steps in his anger.

With a retch, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because he was truly hurt!

He felt that heaven had been filled with malice towards him this year!

First, there were frequent tornadoes that destroyed his good fields and houses.

Then, the earth dragon turned over, annihilating his army of a million and sweeping away countless stores of grain.

And now, a once-in-a-century ice disaster!

One disaster followed another without pause!

He wanted to question heaven with his conscience.

What had he done wrong, and why was he being targeted like this?

Song Yufei consoled, Your Majesty, in fact, you have done very well. This is a natural disaster, so its not your fault! You see, if you look at it from another perspective, Great Luos losses would have been even more severe if it werent for your previous efforts!

Ah~~

Great Luo Emperor, clutching his cold heart, replied weakly, Thank you for your comforting words, Fairy. I feel much better now! However, I may have caught a cold. My dragon body is unwell. I will return to the palace to rest. Please feel free to do as you wish, Fairy!

After speaking, he staggered step by step toward his sleeping quarters.

Song Yufei watched his retreating figure, wanting to offer more words of comfort but not knowing what to say, and could only heave a sigh.
