"Sir, Baron Dutov and I have calculated that, including the 5,000 people arriving tomorrow, there will be at least 47,000 people here, and their nutritional status is very poor. We have prepared meals based on the standards of the auxiliary army, Benny The two life priests Hodus and I prepared herbs, and Jim selected 1,000 men in better condition for training first."
In the magic mirror, Canine and Lant reported the situation in the slave camp, "Pete Maned Wolf has returned to White Tree City. He is staring at the situation of the nobles there. Both of us think that a high-ranking person should be invited to preside over the migration in White Tree territory." .”
During the day, Hound Tooth led his 20 knights to conduct reconnaissance of the nearby area, and also released hounds and falcons. He knew very well that the three forces of the orc gangs, human slave owners, and lizard tribes in the south of White Tree City were intertwined, and if they were not careful, they would be killed. It caused tens of thousands of slaves to mutiny, so they specifically proposed to Lant to send high-level troops to suppress the formation.
On the other side of the magic mirror, Lant was still next to the cocoon of fire. He was also having a headache at the moment. "I will arrange for people to go there as soon as possible. When do you and Peter plan to start the migration?"
"It's estimated to take a few days. We plan to migrate at night," Canine Ya said. "The temperature during the day is too high, and the frost wolves and wind wolves are not used to it."
"Okay, let me know when you have set the date, and I will send someone there as soon as possible." Lant in the magic mirror did not express any opinions on the relocation work, which made Canine Heave a sigh of relief.
After the report, Canine Ya walked out of the tent and looked at the dimly lit scene in the entire camp, with a trace of worry on his face.
In his past experience, the largest population migration was last winter, when Lant took all the people in the salt mine southward towards Blue Magpie Castle. After that, Laniya almost completed the migration of the iron mines alone.
Hounds Tooth was just a family knight before, but now he manages the entire Frostwolf Knights, with less than a hundred people and close to 50,000 people. He gets a headache just thinking about it.
Not far away, Baron Dutov came over with a list and said to him with a smile: "Captain Fang, all the inspections you requested have been completed! The list you proposed is really concise and comprehensive. Although there are only a dozen indicators, they involve all aspects of the entire camp. I didn’t expect that there would be a talent like you under Count Lant.”
"Mr. Baron, this list was completed jointly by Mr. Lant, the Little Cardinal Consul and Mr. Lanya," Hound Tooth touched his head and said embarrassedly: "They are the real managers, but they were just before I came. , Your Excellency gave this list to me specifically, so that I must check it accordingly."
"Oh, no wonder Earl Lant has become the master of Yeqi City at a young age. He is indeed young and promising, and he is outstanding!"
Dutov, as a typical Kirislav bureaucrat, is not only well-spoken but also flattering, which makes Canine, who is used to living on the border all year round, somewhat uncomfortable.
Canine didn't take Dutov's praise to heart, but asked: "Mr. Baron, do you really think we can send all the nearly 50,000 people back to Yeqi City?"
Now Canine Tooth is least confident about the escort mission itself. He knows that Rand cares about his people very much and cannot accept the loss or death of the population during the migration.
"Lord Hound Tooth," Dutov's gaze fell on the 1,000 new auxiliary troops Jim was training not far away, "Now the number of slaves in White Tree City has increased to 2 gold coins per person.
Mr. Lant spent about 40,000 gold coins here, which shows that as long as we bring back 20,000 people, you will not lose money. "
When Canine Ya heard this, his face dropped: "My lord, I'm afraid you can't accept this situation."
"Of course, but maybe the local nobles and lizard tribe think so."
…
After two days of rearrangement, the layout of the entire camp has changed. The original messy tents are now surrounded by a circle of 10 tents, with a fire in the circle.
Each circle of 10 tents formed a larger settlement, and in the center of the settlement was a huge salt-cooking cauldron. The entire camp is divided into nearly 40 such settlements, called tent groups.
All the slaves were divided into 400 small groups of 40 large groups, each with 100 people. In the center of the 40 large groups is the Chinese military tent composed of 20 oversized tents, which is the camp of the canine teeth and the knights.
After Yu Ling arrived with 30 administrative staff, he started to divide the 40,000 people into groups, and then selected auxiliaries, managers and statisticians within each group. These people would go through a series of orders in the territory, and in After a few days the migration takes place in tent groups.
At this moment, in an open space surrounded by tents, all the tents had their curtains opened, and all the slaves were listening carefully to the speech of a woman next to the fire.
"Master Yu Ling requested that each group select a statistician, a student, a waiter, and 5 cooks,"
Kassala's eyes are a strange blue, and there are obvious forks at the tip of her tongue. There are always rumors that she has a little lizard blood, but what everyone in the tent group is convinced is that she has a natural aura. , able to make everyone listen to her arrangements.
"Noya!"
"Here!" Hearing Kasala suddenly call her name, the little girl stood up quickly.
"I remember that before you were captured, you were from the north, right? Can you read?"
"Yes, my father taught me before." Noya nodded.
"Then you will be the statistician of our team." Kasala said, and then shouted to the other girl: "Vedo!"
"Here!" The girl named Vedu stood up.
"I remember your mother has elf blood?"
"Yes, it's very meager," Veduo, who was thin, felt a little embarrassed.
"Then you will be the waiter! You two will go out. Master Yu Ling wants you to go to the central tent in a moment!"
"Yes!" The girls nodded immediately.
Noah and Vedo walked out of the tent and walked carefully to the fire. Soon 5 cooks, 10 coolies, and 10 reserve guards were selected by the leader with lizard blood.
As an eagle's cry sounded in the sky, Kasala set off with nearly 30 people in the tent and followed the flow of people in the entire camp to the open space in the center of the camp.
Here, nearly 4,000 coolies and the same number of guards were further screened out to 2,000 each. When the camp is moved, the coolies will work around the logistics carriages to carry out distribution and miscellaneous work, while the reserve guards will be further trained to assist. military standards.
These people were tied with ropes of different colors on their right hands. As a distinction between their professions, they were brought back to the group tent by the leader of each group.
The statisticians and waiters were different. Although they also brought ropes representing their identities, they sat together in the open space in the center of the tent and listened to Yu Ling's account of the history of the territory.
"Everyone, you will be the direct subjects of the lord in the future. Our lord has a long bloodline and is a member of the Galloping Horse family blessed by His Majesty the God Emperor. He unified the Galloping Horse Plains last year and is now fighting against the threat of the orcs. …”
Yu Ling had a speech in her hand, and a loudspeaker made by Wendy was hanging on her chest. The content of the speech was actually very general. Apart from the rough introduction in the first few sentences, it was about Lant leading the people to defeat gray geese and brown bears. The story of two major tribes guiding the barbarians to the faith of the God-Emperor.
The outline of the story was written by Lant, and was polished by Albert, Elenda Maned Wolf, and even Julian Zhuoqin. The story was finalized after having the barbarian priest speak to the new tribe members for several times. It was aimed at the kind of barbarians. Audiences who love to hear stories.
Such a mature performance made Noya, Vedo and the more than 800 people around them fascinated. After all, there was no cultural life in the previous slave camp.
