Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 107 Refugees
Stannis, who smelled of alcohol, was carried to the central square by Robert. The lord rubbed his eyes vigorously, and found a large group of people appeared in front of him.

At this time, camping had already begun at the gate of the castle. Countless dilapidated tents were set up, and a large number of men, women, and children were sitting on the ground weakly. Almost all of them looked skinny. No one was wearing good clothes, and there were only a few rags hanging on them. Strips to cover up.

"What's the situation?" Stannis' brain drugged by alcohol really couldn't judge the situation in front of him. Could it be that there is an organized army of beggars in this world?
Robert let go, and Stannis fell to the grass.

"Hey, it hurts!"

But his younger brother turned his back on him, roaring excitedly, "Boss, these are refugees! They all came here with the longing for a savior!!!"

The guy had another stroke, and Stannis rubbed his ass and stood up. The pain just now made him a little less drunk.

He walked forward, and from time to time, people with eyes open blankly like the living dead passed by him. It seemed that this group of refugees was malnourished, most of them were injured, and their health was extremely worrying.

Not far away, Bachelor Romon was standing there recording something.

"Okay, this is the last one!" The old man said to himself and put away his pen.

The lord walked over and asked curiously, "Scholar Romon, what are you remembering?"

The old man raised his head and said seriously, "It's the number, Your Excellency! There are a total of 230 people here."

so many people!Stannis felt like a windfall. He didn't expect so many refugees to flood into the territory in one breath. It seemed that he was too young to give up on himself so easily these days.

"It's 230 people."

A capable, strong female voice sounded.

Stannis looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was a brown-haired woman with ponytails. Although her figure was as skinny as other women, she pulled up her sleeves vigorously like a man and put cloth on her hands. full of scars.

"One of them is about to give birth." The woman smiled after she finished speaking, revealing her white teeth under her mud-stained face, "I am Lucia Antonia, and these are all mine."

A woman is the leader of this group of refugees?Stannis had to look up at her in front of him.

"Who is in charge here?" the woman said bluntly.

Stannis quickly raised his hand, "I, I, I am the lord of this land, under Stannis Justin."

As soon as Lucia heard the name, her expression changed. She looked at the guy standing in front of her with interest, "It turns out that the Justin family still has descendants. It's very interesting, another true dragon."

Generally, people in the Kingdom of Tanis would habitually exclaim 'Dragon Raider' when they heard Stannis' name, but this woman looked completely different.

"Aren't you refugees from Tanis?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, "We are from Ilysis."

Elixis?The birthplace of the Justin family, although his territory is adjacent to this ancient empire, there is a large black forest in the middle as a barrier, basically cutting off communication.

"You came here through the forest?" he asked incredulously.

The woman shook her head, "No, although our original plan was to go through that forest, but as soon as we entered the forest, something terrible happened, and my father died. These are all his people, and as his daughter, I can only lead them on. But the forest can’t go any further, so we trekked northward around the Black Forest, climbed the Broken Ridge Mountains, and came here after crossing a large wasteland.”

Stannis was dizzy hearing about her difficult journey. It turned out that this group of people had gone through such a difficult journey, no wonder they became like this now.

"There were 500 people when we set off, but we didn't expect that there were only 230 people left here." Lucia lowered her eyes, and Stannis could feel the remorse and sadness in her.

But he still wanted to ask, "Since the loss is so great, why did you come here from far away Ilysses, what happened to your homeland?"

Lucia shook her head slightly, and Stannis couldn't force it.

"Don't worry, since you're here, you don't have to worry about it anymore. We can provide food, shelter, and medical care. Bachelor Romon, call Monk Romney over here. I think there are many people here who are in urgent need of treatment. ' Stannis scowled and ordered.

But Lu Xiya interrupted him, "Are you talking about the gray-robed monk? As soon as we settled down, he came over and offered to help, and he has already healed several people."

This was beyond his expectation, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also in line with the status of a monk as a doctor.

"Then I'll pull two carts of grain to solve your food problem first."

"That's not necessary, a chef in your territory has already set up a big pot to cook porridge, and kindly told us that those who have been hungry for a long time should eat some liquid food first."

She was referring to Cook, who didn't expect this guy to come to help without doing business.

"Then the place to live has to be resolved, I'll let..."

"It's not too much trouble. Two military officers and an engineer came here just now and said that they will help us build some simple shelters for the old and young to live in first."

Sure enough, Stannis found that not far away, several wooden houses had already appeared. Kanye, Speer, and Batesmore were leading a group of soldiers to knock there.

It turned out that his subordinates were so enthusiastic and rushed to do good things. Stannis really underestimated them a bit.

"Then since they are all done, it seems that I, the lord, have nothing to do." Stannis said awkwardly, "Then you stay, I can provide you with land, funds, seeds, and three years of land tax exemption , how? Interested in settling down!"

Lucia looked troubled, and Stannis could see that she was tired of her wandering life, but something made it hard for her to make up her mind.

This is Robert beckoning to Stannis in a panic, looking urgent.

"Wait for me." He apologized to the woman and walked towards the younger brother

"What's wrong? Carrot."

Robert looked flustered. He glanced around to make sure no one noticed him, and then deliberately lowered his voice.

"I just saw that there were weapons hidden under the caravan brought by these people."

"Weapons?" Stannis was shocked. "Are you sure?"

Robert nodded affirmatively, "How could I lie to you, how could I admit that something like a weapon is wrong."

The lord turned his head, Lucia was busy taking care of her people, they wouldn't pretend to be refugees and come to a Trojan horse, right?

But speaking, this group of refugees is indeed very strange. Why did they leave their homes and what are they afraid of?
