It has to be said that Baron Shenchiwan acted very quickly. Not only did he set aside half of the rooms of the Governor's Palace for the military command, but he also mobilized a group of maids to serve the crowd, which can be said to be quite thoughtful. . However, Iron Axe shut them all out on the grounds of preventing leaks.
Looking at the reluctant young people in the staff team, he said blankly, "It's time to work, let's all act. Don't forget that your performance will be recorded and handed over to Edith Kant. Review, if there are mistakes, you should know the consequences."
As soon as the name of Beidi Pearl was mentioned, everyone shivered and immediately dispersed to get busy.
"Map, I'll hang the map!"
"What about the itinerary? I'll check it again."
"Who will check with me on the number of rations prepared?"
The room suddenly became very lively.
"As expected of a young man, really energetic..." Remy shook his head with a smile, "The baron has good eyesight, I'm afraid he has already seen the details of these people."
"It's just the usual method of the nobles," Iron Axe frowned. "It's better that he can spend the same amount of attention on the migration."
"Don't worry, our administrative department will follow up and supervise in this regard." Remy patted his chest and said, "In short, even if the first springboard is successfully won, the process can be said to be smoother than I expected. From In a sense, Fang and the Redstone Gate family have helped us, but it may not be so easy in the future..."
"No, it doesn't make any difference." Iron Axe interrupted.
"Yes... Is it?" The latter was stunned.
"Because they are already behind this era." He didn't answer after speaking, but looked out of the window, the rain clouds were now dissipating, and a small patch of blue appeared in the gloomy sky.
Because they are already behind the times. A week before the departure, Edith told him this, but this time, instead of meeting in private, he directly invited him into the office of the General Staff Department and arranged a meeting recorder. The topic of discussion is how to efficiently complete His Majesty's population migration plan without realizing the changes in the outside world. Some nobles are like that. If I'm not mistaken, you're going to hit them one by one, right
If they interfere with His Majesty's plan.
too slow. Edith said bluntly that this operation is different from the Battle of Greycastle Unity. Unfamiliar territories need to be stationed to ensure smooth migration routes, and the available soldiers will be continuously diluted. The planning time has been greatly extended. Secondly, the strength of Greycastle may make them dare not confront them head on, and the plans behind them may not be revealed immediately. After they have caused substantial damage, you will be blind and damage your majesty.
What to do then
Determine the target in advance, and you can pull one faction to fight one faction. Edith hands over a form.
I saw that the list was full of options, followed by +1+2 scores.
what is this? It was the first time that Iron Axe saw such a special form.
Threat assessment form? Rebellion Grading Manual? ... Anyway, it doesn't matter what it's called. This is something I wrote based on the psychology of the nobles. The reference conditions include gender, heir, territory size, number of troops, daily behavior, and so on. You only need to fill in the corresponding information in the box, you can get a general result. The more information available, the better the judgment. Since the situation of Wolf Heart and Yongdong has changed greatly, the General Staff Department cannot do all the work for you. Can.
After the calculation? He asked while looking at it.
Those below fifty can be drawn, their strength is mediocre, and their ambitions are also limited. However, these nobles can do a lot of things. Local map information, town distribution, and population details can be learned from their mouths. And more importantly, with the support of the local lords, the migration work can be most efficient. Edith explained.
As for those above fifty... She paused, and it could be regarded as having no negotiating value, or it was not worth wasting time on them. Regardless of whether the other party showed submission or not, she should take the initiative and leave no room for illusions.
Even the iron axe felt a little shocked when he heard this. He is not afraid to exterminate all the nobles who dare to resist His Majesty, but from the perspective of methods and means, it is too far behind Beidi Pearl to determine the future of these nobles with just one watch, even if she has never I've seen each other, and I haven't said a word to them.
He was silent for a moment before speaking, but the result... Is it accurate
As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Iron Axe naturally understands the meaning of time, and also knows how much time this form can save him in relocating a large part of the fleet. The plan to erect the obelisk in the desperate mountains should also be completed as soon as possible.
It is not excluded that there are deviations, and even setting the dividing line at 50 is only my personal opinion. Given how precious time is, it's up to you to decide exactly what to do. Edith took a sip of tea unhurriedly, after all, the staff is only responsible for providing advice.
Iron Axe turned to the last page. It was a list that had already come to a conclusion. The information should come from Chenxi. Among them, the first landing point under 50 points was the first landing point of the fleet plan, Shenchi Bay. lord.
Before leaving the General Staff Office, he asked the other party the last sentence.
Are there no nobles who are not behind the times
Of course there is a possibility, Edith rolled up the ends of her hair and smiled, but even without this watch, I believe you can quickly tell because that person must be very similar to me.
Thinking of that confident look, Tie Axe sighed, he gathered his thoughts, turned around and walked towards the first army camp. As the Pearl of the North said, the nobility is not a problem, but how to transfer the people in an orderly and efficient manner is the difficulty.
However, after only two days, tens of thousands of migrants gathered in the Shenchiwan wharf area! They were densely packed outside the square, waiting to board the ship. This amount not only exceeded the expectations of Iron Axe and Remy, but even Baron Jean Bet was surprised.
The First Army had to postpone the departure date to maintain order in the flow of people.
"What's going on?" Iron Axe asked Remy, "Could it be that you exaggerated His Majesty's promise in the propaganda?"
"How dare I make a decision," Remy shook his head again and again, "everything is done according to the procedures summed up by the previous administrative department, and its efficiency depends on the prestige of the instigator. If it is Neverwinter City, it is not surprising, but this The baron can't be compared with His Majesty, so the number of people transferred in one day in the original plan was only between three and five hundred."
"The result is now more than twenty times." Iron Axe said with a complicated mood. The more immigration, the better, but it's always a little unnerving to go beyond the plan. He knew how difficult it was to make these people abandon their land and believe that danger was coming. Even if His Majesty promised a certain amount of compensation, Greycastle was always an extremely distant and unfamiliar place for the wolf-hearted people. Now that there are suddenly so many migrators, it is difficult to leave no doubt about what is going on behind the scenes.
"If you have to say it, there is a situation that may correspond to the present." Remy pondered for a moment before saying, "That is the refugees who have fled."
Because such people have nothing, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will pounce on it like moths chasing a fire.
"But these are free people from the villages and towns near Shenchiwan."
"Theoretically, it's true, but my staff heard some interesting rumors during the promotion. For example, the Red Stone Gate family and Baron Bet have a feud, and they plan to capture Shenchiwan and turn all the surrounding lands into slaves. For example, there were man-eating monsters in the hilly area to the north, some towns were eaten up overnight, and the skeletons were placed in the middle of the road, and now those monsters are now spreading to the southeast. There are many similar rumors, and all of them have noses and eyes. , making the local people panic. I think this is probably the reason why there are so many migrants. If they can't wait to leave their homes, isn't it the same as the refugees?"
Iron Axe was stunned, "When did the rumor happen?"
"At least a month and a half ago, when we just set off from Neverwinter." Remy rubbed his chin and said, "Should we say that we are lucky?"
Weird. Iron Axe's face sank, which was clearly someone behind the scenes, and the purpose of the First Army's trip was clear.
Who the hell spread these rumors? Why did the other party want to help Greycastle? Are they friends or enemies? A series of bewildering questions flooded his mind.
Until a soldier interrupted his thoughts.
"My lord, someone asked me to give you this letter."
"Who?" Iron Axe temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts and took the envelope.
"No name, it's a little bit," replied the soldier, "but he said that he also forwarded it, and the writer probably didn't want to be seen by others. I have checked and there is nothing but a piece of paper in it. "
Envelopes are ordinary hemp cloth, which is much cheaper than sheepskin or cowhide, and are often found in civilian markets. The mouth of the bag was also not sealed with wax oil, so it was left directly open, which seemed very casual. The iron axe took out the piece of paper inside, but was surprised to find that it was completely black, and its hard and smooth texture was by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Turning it over, there was only one line of small gold characters on it.
This is a gift from your faithful servants, and I hope you are satisfied.
