Chapter 297: The Plan Begins

As soon as the meeting ended, Winnie packed her luggage and flew to the south that day to begin her mission.

Owen also quickly wrote a letter and sent it back, stating in the letter that he would rescue Roar City. The first batch of ships carrying relief food would arrive in the near future, along with Viscount Jarvis and the People's Army advance team.

force.

Lion's Roar City, Lord's Castle.

As soon as he received the reply, Count Claude immediately called his son Dryden over and showed the letter in his hand with excitement.

"Oh! My son, look, the new king has replied to the letter. He promised to help. Now Lion's Roar City can be saved!"

Dryden was not surprised by such a result, and specifically warned: "Father, you must follow the new king's instructions and don't make any small moves behind your back, otherwise you will end up as miserable as the old king."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Count Claude said yes again and again, and said somewhat perfunctorily: "Even if you don't remind me, I can still distinguish the pros and cons."

Junhui City, suburban dock.

After a busy meal, the seven cement steamships were finally filled with food.

The whistle sounded, and Viscount Jarvis and the advance troops of the People's Army set off southward.

At the same time, a call for ships was issued, and the coveted high freight prices attracted many captains, and even raft owners came to inquire whether they could participate in the relocation plan.

Obviously, a small raft cannot undertake the task of transferring refugees.

Therefore, the city hall needs to conduct screening and issue licenses to captains who are qualified to transport personnel.

Due to the heavy workload, the newly established city hall could not cope with it at once, so Owen asked the soldiers to help.

The results surprised the nobles in the city hall. They did not expect that almost all civilians in the People's Army were literate, all thanks to the cultural training conducted in the evening.

As a result, the nobles mustered up their energy and worked hard.

Because Owen said that those who perform poorly at work will be fired, and they don't want to lose to civilians.

By the way, the newly established city hall this time is based on various departments established at the national level.

The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were added, and the Ministry of Construction was renamed the Ministry of Construction. A security bureau was also established, operating independently of the city hall, with a police station and an intelligence bureau, directly responsible to Irving.

This intelligence bureau was specially established for Hunter. The required funds can be applied directly to the city hall. Its current main task is to collect intelligence on the "Egg" organization from various places.

In addition, Junhui City does not have a military department, this department is unique to Dawn City.

This means that only Owen and the Ministry of Military Affairs can mobilize the country's troops from now on. Others are not eligible.

After Clive returns, he will also make changes to the Auroville City Hall in accordance with this standard.

Closer to home, as long as the Lion's Roar City and Bibo County are ready, the captain with the license can set off on his own ship and start a large-scale refugee migration plan.

After arriving at the destination, it must be checked by Dawn City staff before the corresponding shipping fee can be obtained.

The Xiayue Federation also responded quickly, expressing its willingness to send large ships to participate in the relocation plan. The presidents of the Chamber of Commerce have keenly sensed the business opportunities to make money.

A few days later, at the Lion's Roar City Pier, seven cement steamships slowly arrived from the north.

Three cement steamships chose to dock at the dock, while the other four turned their heads around and continued sailing east.

As soon as Viscount Jarvis stepped off the ship, officials appointed by Count Claude hurried forward to greet him.

"Welcome, Lord Messenger, to Lion's Roar City."

Immediately afterwards, the official glanced at the four ships continuing eastward and asked: "Well...why don't those four stone ships stop?"

"The destination of those four ships is not here." Viscount Jarvis replied lightly.

"Uh...I know."

The official did not continue to ask more questions, but turned around and ordered the men he had brought with him: "Hurry up and get on the boat to help move the grain down and transport it to the granary."

"Yes, sir."

A dozen strong porters immediately took action and ran to the ship to help unload the cargo.

Then, the official turned sideways and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation to Viscount Jarvis.

"Sir envoy, please come this way, our lord wants to see you."

"Um."

Taking two soldiers with him, Viscount Jarvis followed the official to the Lord's Castle.

In the castle hall, he met Count Claude.

After a while of pleasantries, Viscount Jarvis got down to business and asked Count Claude for detailed information about the demihuman alliance.

To be honest, Count Claude is not very clear about the trends of the demi-human alliance. The information currently known is all obtained from the mouths of refugees.

As soon as the nobles in the south heard about the demihuman alliance, they were so frightened that they took their families and ran over to seek shelter, so they could not get any useful information from them.

However, Count Claude said that he had sent a group of knights to patrol outside.

If we discover the movement of the demihuman alliance, we will come back and report it as soon as possible.

As expected, Lion's Roar City was just passively defending its surroundings, and did not dare to send out a large number of troops to search for the location of the demihuman joint forces.

After all, the nobles attach great importance to their own lives. With the lack of troops in Lion's Roar City, they would rather strengthen their defense than allocate too many troops outside.

Finally, Viscount Jarvis made several demands, one of which was that the food for refugee relief be distributed by the People's Army.

Count Claude now wanted something from the new king, and he was afraid that refusing would offend Owen, so he agreed to everything.

That afternoon, more than 20 People's Army soldiers pushed several carts of large wooden barrels out of the city, full of hot wheat porridge.

Arriving at the temporary settlement area outside the city, a soldier stepped forward and shouted to the refugees.

"Porridge is being distributed! Porridge is being distributed! Each person is limited to one bowl. Please gather in front and line up!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Food is given out."

"Eh? Didn't you distribute it once yesterday? Why did you distribute it again today?"

The food in Roar City is limited, but it cannot ignore the refugees, as it may cause riots, so Count Claude distributes food every two days, just to ensure that they do not starve to death.

When they heard that food was about to be distributed, the refugee crowd immediately became agitated and rushed towards the porridge distribution point, fearing that they would not have any porridge to eat if they arrived late.

"Don't crowd! Everyone has a share! If you don't line up, the porridge will not be distributed!"

At first, the scene was very chaotic, but after the soldiers organized order, the refugees lined up obediently.

Seeing that everyone was lined up, the soldier who had just shouted stepped forward again and said loudly: "Before we distribute the wheat porridge, please listen to what I have to say."
