Although the temperature has shown signs of warming, the harsh winter weather is not over yet.
The Battle of Starwind City blocked the Starshatter army from invading eastward, but it could not alleviate the famine and riots that continued to spread in the pioneer area.
The Casting Star Council has not been convened for a long time.
The major leaders in the pioneering areas are all troubled by the complex challenges encountered in their rule.
Famine created a large number of refugees, and the self-sufficient production system of feudal society was severely damaged. Amid people's painful cries, the descendants, who were carrying the hope of saving the world, became increasingly disobedient to orders.
In the commercial field, they hoard goods, drive up prices, seize excess profits, plunder vulnerable groups, kill people and buy goods. To them, the lives of the Yashan people are no different than livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
The conflict between the aborigines and the descendants is unprecedentedly acute.
The number of abnormal deaths of people at the bottom is rising steadily.
This is a time of chaos and death.
But amidst the hardship and misery with no end in sight, there is also a faint hope.
The western border of Fengling Plain.
Beifeng Town.
Feather-like snow fell from the gray sky, falling on Elvis's frozen officer uniform, and soon a layer of ice floes accumulated on his shoulders.
On both sides of the road, there are charred and collapsed houses everywhere due to the passage of demons. Some residents of Beifeng Town are trying to rebuild their homes with the help of the Adventers.
Since the end of the Battle of Starwind City, the artillery unit commanded by Elvis followed the main force of the Starwind Legion in pursuit of the fleeing Starbreaker creatures. After arriving at the last settlement on the border, Beifeng Town, they stopped moving forward.
They will rest here while waiting for reinforcements from the rear.
Before the time and space gate in Star Wind City is repaired, the armies of the Wolf Principality and the Hasima Empire, as well as a large number of descendants stranded here, will be reintegrated and form a new coalition on a voluntary and paid basis to go north. Conquer Talengard.
Beifeng Town is the gathering place for the coalition forces before their expedition.
Once the assembly is completed, the Northern Expeditionary Army will cross the border between Starwind Territory and Talengard region and embark on a journey to counterattack the occupied areas.
Elvis walked through the busy long street and came to the square filled with supplies and tents.
When a guard sitting on a supply box saw him, he immediately stood up straight and performed a standard military salute.
"Captain Elvis! The supplies you requested have not arrived yet. The munitions department said that new thunder metal bullets need to be shipped from Savage City. The speed of the cargo ship is too slow. They have already reported to the staff and requested Send a gryphon brigade to assist and expedite airlift."
"No problem," Elvis nodded, "We will stay in Beifong Town for a while, so we should have time."
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Elvis turned his head.
It was a burly middle-aged man with a curly beard growing on his square face.
"Elvis! You are a big shot now, don't you even recognize me?"
"Uncle Thoros, how could it be! Ah... I should call you Mayor Thoros."
Soros punched Elvis hard: "Stop talking nonsense, I never saw you being so polite when we were fleeing together in Bucks Principality!"
The two laughed heartily.
Then, Soros put on a mysterious expression, leaned closer and said:
"I went back home yesterday, and guess what? I found a bottle of intact milk wine under the ruins! How about it? Do you have time to sit in my tent for a while and have a taste when you come back this time?"
"certainly!"
The two walked through the crowd, walked to the edge of the square, and got into a heavy tent.
There was a simple wooden bed covered with animal skins in the tent. The magic crystal light on the table was dim, reflecting the stacks of files.
Solos motioned for Elvis to sit down, while he took out the wine bottle from under the bed and poured it into the cup.
The two of them drank a glass together. After the sweet and sour milk wine entered their stomachs, Elvis felt his body
A wave of heat surged up, dispelling the chill.
"Isn't Archon Pyne back?"
"He was seriously injured when the space-time gate exploded, and he hasn't woken up yet," Soros explained. "I can only take charge of the overall work here."
"I hope he can recover as soon as possible," Elvis sighed. "The explosion of the space-time gate caused a lot of damage. If Miss Tia hadn't rushed to the Origin Orb at the last moment and blocked part of the impact with her body, , the casualties in the square will further expand."
"Yeah..." Soros showed a puzzled expression, "Who do you think is behind the Space Sect? Are you so hostile to the Star Wind Leader?"
"The Lord is still continuing to investigate," Elvis took a sip of milk wine. "Because there is no evidence, we can only make preliminary guesses that it was ordered by Silver City State or the Fantasy Sea Guild. After all, the Origin Power Orb is Silver City State's unique artifact. , it is difficult to say that there was no instruction from the Nine Rings Council behind this matter."
"Damn Nine Rings Council! Damn Silver City-State!" Thoros cursed angrily, "Starwind Leader almost fell under their plot."
"I believe that the lord will find out the truth," Elvis said in a low voice, "By the way, Uncle Thoros, how is the reconstruction of Beifeng Town going?"
Soros slowly introduced: "After the Broken Star army passed through, there were few intact houses left in the town, and the nearby farms were also destroyed. However, the lord seemed to have anticipated the damage caused by the war. Yellowwood Town sent The materials that have arrived are enough for us to get through this winter. There is enough wood and stone now. We can renovate the houses as soon as the weather gets warmer. There is also enough charcoal for heating and residents' rations. When the situation stabilizes, I will take the militia there. Let’s look for woolly horned cattle and northern goats in the mountains..."
"However, I am still a little worried," Soros sniffed and lowered his voice. "The Northern Expeditionary Army is going to gather here. More and more people are arriving in the town. The residents who have just returned home are very scared because there are rumors. Here, those who descended are all bastards who burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil..."
"Don't worry, my Lord Mayor," Elvis smiled, "Archon Pine is not here, and the messenger may not have found you yet."
"I heard at the officer meeting that the lord has issued a new decree. Government affairs offices at all levels will set up special Advent supervision departments. Advents who harm the Starwind leaders in any form will have all their identity information registered after trial. , no matter when and where it appears in Ashan, it will be effectively attacked by law enforcement armed forces."
"To give a simple example, if a descendant maliciously kills the residents of Beifeng Town, he will be sentenced to death and will be permanently wanted. As long as his identity can be confirmed, everyone can kill him without breaking the law."
"Even if he appears in the pioneer area next time, he will face the ubiquitous assassination of the Star Wind Shadow stalker, and only endless death awaits him."
"In other words, the descendants will pay a heavy price for their crimes and become the eternal enemies of Starwind Territory. In the words of the lord, they will be "banned from the entire server." "
"That's good..." Soros breathed out softly, "I said that the descendants in the town are so obedient. They are actively helping the residents clean up the ruins and renovate the houses. They also asked me if I have any tasks to do. release."
"By the way, you reminded me," Solos twitched his eyebrows and started rummaging around on the table, "When I set out from Starwind City, someone handed me something and told me to study it carefully. I have been busy these days. I haven’t had time to see it yet..."
"This is it!"
Soros' rough hands pulled out a booklet from the scroll. The title of the booklet was written with a line of beautiful shadow typography fonts.
"Guidelines for the Management of Descendants in the Star Wind Territory, First Edition (Secret Class: Top Secret, Archons at all levels will burn after reading)"
"The first section is about getting to know the Adventers for the first time, and how to transform the fourth natural disaster into high-quality productivity. The second section is about how to set up a regional reputation system to drive the Adventors at a low cost. The third section is about cleverly setting up hidden tasks to increase attraction... ..”
Looking at the shocking title in the catalog, Soros's expression became more and more surprised.
