Chapter 409: Destruction of Magic

Views:

These two decrees are of great significance.

The main content of this "Decree on the Recruitment of Refugees Throughout the Territory" is to recruit displaced civilians throughout the entire territory of Schindler based on White Wolf Fort and Sandy Bay Port.

The destruction caused by war is not only death. A large number of villages, small market towns were destroyed and many people were displaced. So many people lost their jobs, their homes, everything.

The civilians who did not die in the war usually left their hometowns to seek a living everywhere. But the scope of the war three months ago was too wide, how many places can we live

But people always have to live.

As a result, wandering refugees can easily kill each other, or become bandits, making a living by robbing other civilians and even attacking villages and towns.

This was a scene Dane didn't want to see. However, this scene has gradually become a reality in the past two or three months.

However, if it can give people a glimmer of hope, who is willing to really fall into the bottomless abyss

It is conceivable that if there are clear laws and regulations in the area of Shahaiwan Port and White Wolf Fort, informing the refugees that they can have a bite of hot food, settle down and start a business, and have a stable and safe life again, then they must It will be very attractive.

Before, Dane did not issue such a decree because he had no money. If a large number of refugees flow into the southern border, the local government will need to spend a lot of money to resettle them before they settle down and create enough value.

Before getting 300,000 gold coins from the Shire, Dane didn't have that much financial resources to settle a large number of civilians.

But don't be afraid now, he has money.

Attracting enough refugees, the chaotic situation in Schindler should be alleviated to some extent; at the same time, with enough population, White Wolf Castle and Sandy Bay Port will speed up the pace of reconstruction and recover at a faster rate. , and it may even be possible to take advantage of this opportunity to reach a higher level.

In addition, there is "Destroy Magic Order".

The core content of this extermination order is mainly one point - in the name of Governor Dire Wolf, issue a wanted order to the entire territory of Schindler, anyone, as long as they hold the head of the devil, go to any administrative unit in the southern border Everywhere, you can get corresponding gold coin rewards according to the level of the devil!

Moreover, the reward number of this gold coin is not low.

The significance of this decree lies in the ability to mobilize the adventurers and mercenaries in Schindler to deal with demons spontaneously.

In the place of Schindler, if there is any industry that is very developed, it is only adventurers and mercenaries. In fact, any place where there is enough profit, but also dangerous and chaotic, the existence of such occupations is indispensable.

The noses of these mercenaries and adventurers are very sharp, even in a war, they can think of ways to save themselves. Also, they wouldn't be free to go to war—unless someone paid a lot of money to hire them.

Schindler was hit hard after the war, but the business of mercenaries and adventurers should not have been greatly affected.

If the power of these people can be mobilized, the efficiency of eliminating demons will be very fast.

In Schindler now, except for the area around Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Castle, which has not been poisoned by demons, there are demons everywhere. Except for the two big demon lairs of Cinderella and Lost City, other scattered demons rarely gather together in large numbers, but it is only a collection of a few demons, or a dozen or so demons, scattered to Schindler. The whole territory is enough to cause great harm to this land that has just experienced war.

There is no doubt that Cinderella and the demons in Lost City must be wiped out by Dane's army. But these wandering demons are different.

The army was dispatched to clean up, but the effect was relatively mediocre. Large-scale team operations would be wasteful and difficult to clean up; small-scale team operations, encountering a collection of demons with relatively strong individual combat power, are prone to danger.

But mercenaries and adventurers are a good way to eliminate demons.

The quality of mercenaries and adventurers is uneven. Most of them are scum or old fritters. It is not reliable to gather them as an army. They lack the fighting will of a regular army, lack discipline, and have a selfish personality. If you don't obey orders, you are not a very good soldier.

However, if you operate in a small group, do some hunting, and other sneaky things, then the regular army may really be inferior to the mercenaries and adventurers who are proficient in this field.

What's more, among the mercenaries and adventurers, there are occasionally some masters.

Dane had also been a mercenary and adventurer for a period of time, so he knew the characters of these guys well. Anyway, they were working for money, using high bounties to stimulate them to hunt demons, and Dane had no doubts that anyone would go.

Under the high bounty, no one would go for no reason!

What's more, the devil's corpse itself has a certain value. Even if it is a low-level demon, the corpse can get some materials. Isn't this what adventurers like to do after hunting monsters? Now it is nothing more than replacing ordinary monsters with demons. In essence, there is no difference except that they are more dangerous.

Moreover, in fact, Dane felt that he might not lose too much by rewarding those adventurers with money to hunt and kill demons. The devil's head, it can be taken to the temple as a sacrifice, and part of the resources can be returned from here.

The promulgation of the two decrees is Dane's two heavy blows to govern the entire territory of Schindler. Moreover, he believes that the effect of these two laws will not be bad.

And so it is.

When the time came to mid-March, the "Recruitment Decree of Schindler's Territory Refugees" and "Decree of Extermination of Magic" had already shown quite good results.

The former brought more than 2,000 people to the southern border within half a month. Most of these populations are young and middle-aged—the old, the weak, women and children can hardly survive the harsh environment after the war. And these young adults, after being settled, quickly became productive forces. They are supporting themselves with their own hands, and at the same time, they are working hard for the reconstruction of White Wolf Fort and Shawan Harbor with their own hands.

In addition, the effect of the anti-magic order is not bad. In half a month, Dane's territory received more than five hundred demon heads. Judging from this efficiency, maybe for half a year to a year, Dane doesn't need to send troops to do it himself. Only relying on these mercenaries and adventurers can clean up the scattered demons in the territory. up.
