Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries.

Chapter 156 Temporary Tranquility, Influx of Refugees

Ephemeris November NO.14.

The unnamed mountain element leyline, the fortress of war.

Maltz looked at the snow-covered open space outside the fortress, with some doubts in his eyes.

The orcs hadn't made an offensive move since that night's loss.

With this abnormal behavior, Maltz thought at first that the orcs were preparing for a bigger attack, but judging from the information sent by Noros, the surrounding orc army had basically evacuated.

This information made him a little confused, the orc just gave up?
You must know that the orc army lost a lot of people here, so they can swallow this breath?
However, the orcs did not launch an attack, which was also a good thing for Maltz. Although the damage to the war fortress was urgently repaired that night, the intensity was definitely not that high.

But now, taking advantage of the time when the orc army did not attack, he organized a team to carry out a major repair to the battle fortress every day, apart from pressing bullets for the magazines.

On the other side, in the Qingyuan Town Military Camp Command Post.

Gu Deen looked at the huge sand table in front of him and thought about the next mission plan.

Judging from the intelligence collection of Noros and the reconnaissance team that have been dispatched in the past two days.

There are only less than [-] troops left in the entire Qingyuan Ridge, of which [-] are deployed near the elemental leylines, and the other less than [-] orc troops are deployed on the must-pass roads of the battle fortress and the elemental leylines .

The blockade line runs from the river in the north to the Songhai Ridge below. With such a deployment, even Noros has to choose to go south or north, and make a big circle to reach the war fortress.

As for the convoy to set off to resupply, the only way to go is to go south, and it needs to cross an unknown area of ​​more than [-] kilometers.

Such risks will undoubtedly be more dangerous. The deployment of the orcs also forced Gudeen to temporarily suspend the reinforcement plan. There is currently no war in the war fortress, and the evacuated convoy cannot arrive. To deliver needed materials and information.

"Research and discuss the route of the breakthrough team, try to prepare all the worst-case scenarios in advance, and also speed up the training work so that there will be no problems."

After Gudern arranged tasks for everyone in the command room, he then asked.

"How are the arrangements for appeasement and compensation for the families of the soldiers who died?"

Although there was no fighting in the war fortress, Gudn still attached great importance to these soldiers.

He hasn't announced such a shocking result yet, and is waiting for the hero to come back to give the residents a shot in the arm and make them feel at ease.

"Except for a few who have no family members, the other families have been appeased, the compensation work has been almost arranged, and the rumors about the sacrifice have also been resolved."

Elder Joseph seriously reported on the sidelines that when the city was closed, residents were too closed to external sources of information, and there would always be some rumors that would suddenly spread.

Like the 28 soldiers who died suddenly, the family members of the victims had no idea what mission they were performing and died. Although the lord has generous compensation, some unnecessary gossip will still spread quickly.

The Ministry of General Affairs, which has already started the control work, is able to control and find the perpetrator as quickly as possible under the joint efforts of the intelligence agencies. However, after investigation, it was found that the other party did not do it intentionally, but was only afraid of war.

It is not easy to punish this situation, only a verbal warning can be given.

Although this kind of incident seems very small and did not cause serious losses, over time, a very serious problem will appear in the hearts of the people.

Gooden attaches great importance to this kind of thing. If this kind of thing is not handled properly, a huge morale problem will erupt in the town.

For this reason, he also had to arrange various plans to solve this problem, and the record of the soldiers of the War Fortress was a good solution.

"Well, don't end the appeasement work just after one round. You need to send people to follow up and understand. The General Affairs Department must do its best to solve the problems and difficulties of the families of the martyrs. If you can't solve them, you can report them to me. Come and arrange, the family members of these martyrs are eligible."

Gu Deen said the tone is very serious.

"Yes, sir."

Several people from the General Affairs Department lowered their heads slightly in response.

Although Gudn's arrangement will intensify their work tasks, they have no complaints.

They are actually very happy to provide such generous compensation to the soldiers who died in battle. Gudeen's ability to do this is enough to show that he attaches great importance to them. For those who worked for Qingyuan Town, it would undoubtedly help them resolve their worries after death.

After all, Gu Deen personally ordered that as long as anyone who works in Qingyuan Town encounters any accident, he will be able to enjoy the subsidy after sacrifice, but this subsidy also has different levels.

But even the lowest sacrifice subsidy is enough to take care of their family for the rest of their lives.

With the introduction of this policy, the number of troops joining the army has skyrocketed. After all, joining the army means fighting, and the uncertainty and danger brought about by fighting make the death rate only high. Of course, this is based on their past experience. look.

In this way, there was a lot of resistance in the initial expansion of the army, and the increase in various welfare benefits later attracted many people to join.

Now, with the emergence of sacrifice subsidies, many people are more excited. Although joining the army will be a little tiring, the military pay and benefits are also among the best, and now there are no worries about death, so a large number of people are willing to join the army.

"Also, how is the content arrangement of the first batch of newspaper periodicals going?"

After finishing the serious military issues, Gooden also shifted the topic to the people's livelihood.

"According to your revision requirements, the content and typesetting have been completed, and the first batch of printing promotions are being arranged. It is expected that the first issue of the newspaper will be produced tomorrow."

The person in charge of this part of the General Affairs Department is not there, but as the immediate boss of all departments, Kroger still pays attention to the arrangement of tasks in this part.

"Yes, the first batch can be produced more, depending on the sales volume, and then determine the number of newspapers for the second batch. The current newspaper update speed can be completed once a week as much as possible, and the speed will be slowly increased later, but the current newspaper quality must be high. , and the text used is as common as possible.”

"Ok."

Kroger nodded slightly, and wrote down what Gudern said.

The daily routine meeting was almost over here, and everyone then got up and bid farewell to Gudn to arrange tasks.

Gudn, on the other hand, stayed alone in the command room, staring at the map in a daze.

Since the appearance of the orc army, his workplace has changed from the castle to the command room of the barracks.

Although the orc army did not launch an attack on the War Fortress and Qingyuan Town, the surrounding situation is not optimistic.

Just as he guessed, the orcs had already controlled most of the lord's castles and towns on the second day after their appearance, that is, No. 12.

At the same time, Jinyuan City was also attacked and besieged by orcs that day. Under the attack of a hundred thousand troops, Jinyuan City fell and was lost that night, and then the orc army regrouped and split into two, while preparing to attack the other two nearby cities. .

By now, the orc army should have arrived or launched an attack on the second round of cities.

This kind of attack speed, even if the empire is prepared, it is difficult to slow down the attack speed of the orcs.

If the orcs can really carry out their offensive plan perfectly, within half a month, at least half of the northern territory will have the surname of the orcs, and the cities captured by the orcs will be the same for the counterattacking imperial army. A headache.

Under such various reasons, when the reinforcements of the empire will be able to counterattack and come back, this question is also difficult for Gu Deen to predict, but the only thing that can be determined is that in a short period of time, the security work in Qingyuan Town can only rely on them Own.

This news is not a good thing for Gudeen. After all, the orcs have completed the blockade of the western part of the northern border, so the next target is him.

A small town trapped to death, isn't it the meat on the fish board of the orc army?
In addition to arranging the deployment of the town, the most important thing is to modify the entry.

Entries modification is another direction to solve the crisis this time, but this thing is too random, and Gudeen has no way of guaranteeing when to find helpful entries.

While he was thinking, the old Joseph who had just left suddenly returned, with a strange expression on his face, and reported to Gu Deenhui.

"Master, a large number of refugees have come from outside the city. They claim to have escaped from Jinyuan City, and they want us to take them in."

"Huh? A refugee from Jinyuan City?"

Hearing the news, Gu Deen froze for a moment and his expression became a little weird.

The refugees in Jinyuan City...what are they doing here?
If you want to take refuge, you should run to the center of the empire, Fenggu Plain, why run to the border in the opposite direction?

"How many people are there in this group of refugees, have you asked why they came to Qingyuan Town?"

"There are at least 500 people. In addition to ordinary residents, there are many soldiers of the empire in the mixed crowd. The person negotiating is Feroz from the auction house."

Hearing this, Gu Deen's expression slowed down slightly, but he still did not lower his vigilance.

"This group of people will come in first, and some people from the guard and militia will be responsible for taking over. They will be arranged in the north of the city, and they will report to me after checking the information. In addition, Feroz will come to me. Ask about the specific situation of Jinyuan City."

"Yes, sir."

After Old Joseph received the disposal plan, he immediately went to arrange preparations.

After a while, Feroz came with another middle-aged man.

Seeing that the other party was bringing other people with him, Gu Deen was slightly on guard, but he was relieved when he saw the name and position on the other party's panel.

[Name]: Bernard
[Occupation]: Warrior, Jinyuan City Lord

【Strength】: Master
[Entry]: Basic governance, battlefield intuition, careful calculation, power without anger...

[Potential]: rare
[Favorites]: 80 (Favorites)
[Introduction: As the lord of Jinyuan City, his fate was changed because of you and he survived]

……

The Lord of Jinyuan City actually changed his fate because of his appearance?

When Gudeen saw this introduction, his face was slightly moved. It seems that his appearance has indeed affected many people.

If it goes on according to the normal timeline, I am afraid that the Lord of Jinyuan City will have died in Jinyuan City at this time, instead of being able to escape to his Qingyuan Town like now.

"Master Gooden."

Feroz looked a little tired, but when he saw Gudn, he still greeted him respectfully, and then quickly introduced the people around him.

"Master Gudeen, next to me is the city lord of Jinyuan City, the city lord of Berna, please don't blame me for bringing one more person here."

"It's okay, hello, City Lord Berner, I originally planned to visit you in Jinyuan City next year, but I didn't expect to do it in this way ahead of time, please sit down."

"Hehe, I made you laugh." Berner also responded with some helplessness on his face.

For the Lord of Jinyuan City, Gu Deen still gave the other party a lot of face and courtesy, and invited the other party to sit down before continuing to chat.

"What is the specific situation of Jinyuan City, can you tell me about it? And why did you choose to come to me instead of going to the safer center of the empire?"

As soon as he sat down, Gu Deen didn't have time to chat, and wanted to know the specific situation directly.

Regarding these two issues, Berner, as the city lord, has no airs now, and directly talked to Gudn about the situation in the past two days.

"After receiving the reminder from Qingyuan Town that day, I strengthened the defensive line and gathered all the young and middle-aged people in the city to prepare for the defense."

"As a result, the orc army arrived at noon the next day. The number started at a minimum of [-]. The orc army did not rest after arriving and directly attacked Jinyuan City."

"Although there are more than 3000 imperial defenders under the handshake, plus [-] conscripted youths, but...the opponent's offensive is too fierce. They have been attacking violently all afternoon, and they will not give us any chance to breathe."

"You have also seen the results later. Jinyuan City was breached that night, and the orc army entered the city directly. However, before entering the city, I also planned to fight to the death, but the orc side seemed to have an extraordinary existence, and sent a notice to the whole city. .”

Having said that, Bernard paused, and continued with a strange tone and expression.

"The content of the announcement said that Jinyuan City does not need so many humans, as long as a few people are enough, the others give us a deadline to get out of here and don't allow us to go into the empire, only allow us to withdraw to the west to clear the source town for refuge."

"And... the orcs who reported at that time also emphasized one thing, telling us that Qingyuan Town is very safe, so safe that even they dare not attack."

After listening to the words of the city lord Berner, Gu Deen's face instantly became very embarrassing.

Kill it!

Naked flattery!

Although the defense level of Qingyuan Town is much stronger than that of Jinyuan City, it is not enough to prevent the orc army from attacking.

There are only two purposes for driving the refugees from Jinyuan City to Qingyuan Town.

First, let a large number of refugees flood into Qingyuan Town, so that its management level soars, and the old tricks before will continue to be used, making people rape the Charlieson family to send out ghosts to stir up chaos and cause trouble for Qingyuan Town.

Second, with the pressure of the number of people and public opinion, once even half of the people in Jinyuan City are driven over, then for Qingyuan Town, the food consumption pressure will suddenly rise.

And it is impossible for the orcs to just drive away a person from Jinyuan City. If other cities or small towns are breached later, they will use the same trick to drive one-third of the population of the Northwest Territory to him. Qingyuan Town will not need one. The moon would have to be breached from within.

This kind of conspiracy is not without opportunities to counter it, that is to close the city and prevent refugees from entering, so as to preserve Qingyuan Town.

But the consequence of doing this is to abandon all the refugees and let them spend the winter in the wild without heating and food. In less than a week, the refugees who came to Qingyuan Town will die in this winter.

And when the time comes, the orcs who control the Northwest Territory will be able to spread the word about what he did, making it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the empire.

As the lord of the city, Berna also saw the sinister intentions of the orcs, and for the lord of Qingyuan Town, Gu Deen, this was also a difficult decision.

"City Master Berna, do you know how many people in Jinyuan City fled to Qingyuan Town this time?"

Gooden was thinking about a solution to this problem immediately, and then asked Berner.

"The orcs don't have any restrictions on the fleeing people, even the imperial soldiers didn't stop them. Although I came out at the back, I was traveling at a relatively fast speed. I saw at least tens of thousands of people fleeing on the way to Qingyuan Town along the way. .”

There are tens of thousands of refugees, and Gu Deen has no change in his mind about this number. In the current Qingyuan Town, it is no problem to digest 2 to [-] people.

But what worries him most is the potential for a steady stream of refugees in the future.

Gu Deen thought for a while in silence, looked at Berner, and said with some seriousness.

"City Lord Bona, I'm afraid you can see how dangerous the situation in Qingyuan is now. Once the problem of accepting refugees is not handled well, it will be a dead end for me."

"At this critical time, we should help each other and unite. I have two requests for refugee arrangements and hope to get your support."

"You said, as long as I can help now, I will do my best."

Berner didn't ask what Gudern's request was, but gave an affirmative answer.

"First of all, there are not many guard troops in Qingyuan Town, even less than one-tenth of Jinyuan City. There are quite a few imperial soldiers in the fleeing team. I hope you can regroup them and take precautions. The command of the battlefield belongs to you, but the specific arrangement needs to be arranged by me, I wonder if you can accept this?"

Regarding this arrangement, Berna thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.

Although in this way, he is one level lower than Gu Deen, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the two to be equal or for him to command Qingyuan Town.

Now he is only asked to reorganize the Imperial Army and take control, and he has not said that he will take over his management, which he can accept.

"Okay, the second point is that I need to recruit those who have fled and train them to join the army of Qingyuan Town. I wonder if you can accept this?"

"No problem, Lord Gooden, you can recruit as many people as you want, and I will help you together."

Regarding the second condition, Berner did not hesitate, and directly agreed.

"Okay, now I'm going to ask someone to arrange the reception of refugees. Regarding your residence, I will ask my housekeeper Old Joseph to arrange it. It is near the military camp. You can come here to find me if you have anything."

After Gudern made the arrangements, he immediately went to arrange the preparations for the response, and Berner and Feroz also resigned to prepare for the reorganization.

……

In the afternoon, on the east wall, looking at a large number of refugees queuing up for registration, Gudeen cursed secretly.

"His grandma, don't let me know which bastard came up with it, or I'll have your ashes thrown away!"

……

　Today Chapter 1, maybe there will be Chapter 2?It's too cold, and the hands of coding are frozen, so work hard.
