Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 700 Gulam Plan

Mazov handed over a report, took a sip of the fine Sinian tea, and said the words he had prepared,

"The current permanent population of Qingyan Port is 13, of which 600 are in the labor force. There are only 8000 male children aged six to 12 years old. I do not recommend that this plan be implemented prematurely. If there is scarcity As for the source of troops, Raskol can provide some additional troops."

"The number of mercenaries in this phase is 8000, all of which were sent to Sartusa and Dawn Fortress. Caledor's current strategic deployment does not have a large-scale war plan. The implementation of Gulam should wait for some time. , and then consider it after the second wave of population emerges.”

The Gulam Project is a project secretly formulated by the Parliament under the instructions of the palace. It is based on the captive underage male humans and trains an army that is absolutely loyal to the Dragon Palace.

This plan is still in the finalization stage, and the person in charge is Masnow, who is stationed in Anaheim for self-government.

Imrik studied the report. Compared with the paper data given by the Noble Council, Mazov's was undoubtedly more practical. It listed various indicators in detail, whether there was a willingness to join the army, the distribution of family atmosphere, etc.

Looking at the Dragon Prince who was studying the plan, Mazov pointed out a question.
"The urban planning of Qingyan Port has become a bit bloated with the growth of population, and has expanded to the boundaries of the rain forest. The tropical environment is not suitable for large-scale population gatherings. Even with the magic protection of Lustria, Nurgle's plague is difficult to penetrate Here, there is no need to consider health issues, but we also need to find a suitable location to build the city."

Imric didn't even think about it and directly announced the location.

"The obsidian peaks and the ruins of the ancient city have not been destroyed, and the large amount of mineral resources can also be used as a preparatory industrial base."

The city site selection is not a big deal, the key is the Gulam Plan. Apart from the high-level officials who know that it is targeting Qingyan Port, only a few people know that the other target is Bretonnia.

But it is a bit of a headache to extract the children among them. What I want is a professional army, not cannon fodder soldiers who participate in public service every year.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made up my mind. I still have a hundred years to feed 3000 people as livestock, train and study during the day, and work hard to create humans at night.

Even if they are forced to pile up, 10 people will still be piled up at the most critical moment.

“Send three thousand school-age individuals to Anaheim, and I hope that number will double in ten years.”

"As long as the magic level is passed and the productivity can supply so many professional soldiers, I think the problem shouldn't be too big." Mazov thought carefully. The number of 3000 people was still within the controllable range, but he was a little worried that the instructor was an unkind person. Dragon princes, especially those like Bruni, can easily kill people.

Obviously Imrik also knew what Mazov was worried about. He looked up at the thinking villain,
"Oliveira will train them and you don't have to focus on the plan."

Mazov smiled after hearing this, which may have relieved a lot of pressure, "It should be so. I can't think of a more suitable candidate than him."

…………

With the appointment letter just issued by the palace, Oliveira returned to her hometown of Windhowling City for the first time in a long time, and then transferred to the ship bound for Anaheim with her mission, preparing to report her work to her old boss.

It's hard for him to express his feelings now. He has been traveling around the world for these years, from the caves of Lustria to the trenches of Sartosa. The experiences he has encountered along the way are indeed difficult to get in Ulthuan.

Accompanying him is the sad-looking Mi Shan, who is holding a halberd and feeling depressed alone. After working hard for so long, he still has no child.

In order to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Oliveira took the initiative to raise the topic, "Sir Mishan, do you know the current situation in Anaheim?" Mishan lowered his eyebrows and explained in an unusually calm tone,
"What could be worse than not having a child?"

Oliveira, who had heard about Mishan's accident, smiled awkwardly. This was really a huge blow, especially as his wife's age increased and her physical condition made it difficult to conceive. The human nobles in the court had fallen into a long-term depression.

It can be seen that Mishan is sincerely attracted to that woman, otherwise with his conditions, there would be no shortage of suitors.

The two chatted for a while, mainly about what they had seen in the old world. Apart from serving as the God of War for Erengrad during the Great Holy War, Mishan had never had a deep understanding of that land.

After hearing the rumors about Arabi, he stroked his beard and thought about why it seemed so familiar.

After talking about some reconnaissance operations in the bad land, Yoneyama interrupted Oliveira's endless admiration for a certain big sword superman at the right time.

"So Damian is still messing with the dwarves."

"Yes, he seems to have been called a friend by the High King of the Dwarves."

"Haha, the High King you are talking about is Thor Green's mustache."

Oliveira broke into a sweat. Although the elf society looked down upon dwarves, they still had the most basic respect. For example, they would not use the word "moustache" when addressing the High King.

After all, this is a profound lesson. Just because of a beard, the two sides started a war that affected the fate of the race.

"Yes, yes, that's Thor Green."

"Go and see him when you have time. I really miss the time we spent together. It's not like it is now. It's hard to find someone to talk to." Mishan lamented the past time. In that world without identity differences and prejudice, they We have lived and died together for a long time. I can only say that everything is an arrangement of fate.

In the end, the family was quite happy, except for Imrik, who seemed to have no interest in women at all.

As the ship entered the port, the two of them finally ended their express journey. The person in charge of greeting them welcomed them in a very formal way, and moved two war horses to signal them to the inner fortress in the center of the fortress.

The sparse patrol team walked regularly according to the shift. The large number of residences along the way were extremely quiet, with no trace of human habitation. Except for a few places that looked like pubs that were taken care of, the entire street looked particularly deserted.

People repeat their daily actions according to a predetermined plan, just like a machine running along the gears. This is the essence of the army, stripping away humanity and turning it into a machine that obeys orders and efficiency.

As the northernmost territory of Caledor, Anaheim is mostly staffed by soldiers stationed here, except for some movement of people at the port and supplies needed for operation.

Compared to the Ulthuan military fortress that Oliveira had been to, which was as noisy and lively as the city, this place had the same traditional Caledorian style as before - silence.

Yoneyama lost no time in complaining, "This place looks like a ghost town. Soldiers also need to live. Except for a few women in the tavern, we can't even see a mare. It's easy to get into trouble."
