After all, this young man's appearance is too special. He has red skin and two elf ear moves that are hard to see. He is definitely not one of the most common groups in Steel Fortress.
But this elf from the Flame Clan, who was born from brimstone, was deeply surprised by Mai Fan's inquiry.
They took on the mission as ordinary mercenaries. I met the dwarf businessman from the tavern and was attracted by his combat prowess, so he was hired as the back-up member of this team.
As a fighting race of all people, they are relatively satisfied with the high rewards in such tasks.
That's why he is particularly responsible. They will repeatedly interrogate all passers-by and travelers who appear behind him to ensure the safety of the entire team. At the very least, if there is an accident, do not come from his direction. Drop the chain.
So there are a lot of people to deal with, and he doesn't care about people like Mai Fan who are very curious.
Then, as Mai Fan continued to speed up along this long dragon, he saw many strange sights that he had never seen before.
Because he found that this great migration was beyond Mai Fan's understanding, both in terms of numbers and complexity of races.
But I didn't expect that in this steel fortress, in addition to the two major ethnic groups, there are also so many unheard of races living there.
The number of some small races may be as few as one or two, but they can be treated as the most important guests, placed alone in a transport vehicle, and enjoy a peaceful and smooth journey.
In the process, Mai Fan also saw many ordinary people who should not belong to the special protection groups to be sent away in the first and second stages.
After they learned the news and confirmed the escort time, they spontaneously embarked on the migration journey with the team, because they knew that even if they were waiting in the former fortress, they would be as chaotic and unified as they are now. For those who migrate head first, by that time, the protection they can enjoy will not be as strong as this time.
And they couldn't guarantee that after this migration, the guards who had followed the team to the new base would have time to return and specially provide escort for ordinary people like them.
Even if the own soldiers in the fortress come back, they will not be able to spend a lot of money to find powerful foreign aid and various mercenaries for ordinary people when they encounter special situations when they migrate.
Then during the journey on the road, they may encounter many dangers. Could some messy old neighbors, some neglected physical deficiencies, and even larger migration behaviors bring them unexpected trouble? These are things that smart natives have thought about.
It is precisely because of these smart aborigines that this team eventually grew bigger and bigger, forming the current scale.
then. The original team, which had planned a gathering place, arranged a unified time, and started moving in the right direction, saw these ordinary residents who came spontaneously and did not belong to their intended protection scope... nor did they... No matter what means people used to drive them away, they acquiesced in their behavior and allowed them to follow the team freely.
However, it is impossible for them to stay or change their route specifically to wait for this group of people. They only provide certain protection for this group of people within the scope of being able to help.
Due to this acquiescence, the team became larger and larger later on. The formal list count is over, and the number of people on this list is basically the same as that on the formal list.
As the main person in charge this time, the guard captain who had dealt with this captain didn't say much. He just had to find a few more idle mercenary groups and mercenaries with a good reputation. They were responsible for the care and guidance of these scattered people, and then the team, which was nearly twice as large as before, set off on the road.
This action is equivalent to almost 2/3 of the entire castle's residents joining the migrating team.
The 1/3 of the aborigines who did not evacuate but stayed here were more interested in seeing if there was any way to make money, or they had not packed their luggage and missed this common trek. We can only wait for the soldiers left behind in the castle to make arrangements again.
Fortunately, they caught up with this trip, and the residents of the large army embarked on their new journey full of anxiety and hope.
The good news is that the initial chaos was just the beginning. When the whole team started trekking, the situation was greatly alleviated. Moreover, because the highest officer this time, that is, Mai Fan and the others, The guard captain I knew was very capable. Under his arrangements, even if the team's shape seemed to be a mess, during the journey, the operations of each department could be said to be in order.
Then there were waves of small problems to deal with.
For example, personal transportation during a long journey will cause some minor troubles. Such a small and scattered team cannot be left alone on the roadside and completely ignored.
This requires the maintenance personnel in the team and some people who have relatively large transportation space to move some of them out, temporarily allowing those who have problems with these transportation vehicles to have substitutes, and then leaving some people to solve the problems and then follow up. The team follows.
This was the most fundamental reason why Mai Fan was able to catch up with them so quickly.
Now, after he passed a group of ordinary residents who had solved their problems and were on their way, it took him about 20 minutes to reach the center of the entire group, where they needed care.
There, he met the direct leader of the company that was doing the job.
After seeing Mai Fan return, the captain expressed great surprise at his return so quickly. In his opinion, the time spent by the adventurer to investigate and then some helpless people running out should be calculated in one or two days.
What the captain thought was that Comrade Mai Fan's behavior seemed much more rational than he imagined: "Ah, Mr. Mai Fan, you are such a wise gentleman, you did not go to that red area. , is the most correct choice you have made during this time.
How about it? Did you still take my advice into consideration and follow us to migrate there before completing this mission?
You must have already found out the degree of danger in that red zone, right?
