Although Jes moved swiftly like the wind, David's madness exceeded his expectations.
Perhaps sensing something was wrong, David acted in advance, pouring prepared alcohol, gunpowder, and kerosene around the warehouse and quickly setting it alight before hastily retreating with his confidants.
If not for Jes's timely warning, this sudden fire would have burned down the entire warehouse zone.
The blaze would not only engulf over three hundred soldiers guarding the warehouse but also consume more than one hundred thousand tons of temporarily stored food.
This is life-saving grain capable of helping hundreds of thousands of people through a famine period.
Fortunately, Jes detected it in time, and the cavalry sent to rescue were equipped with simple firefighting gear, bringing the blaze under control quickly.
Although the fire was effectively contained, two independent warehouses were still destroyed, resulting in a loss of over seven hundred tons of grain.
