Chapter 298(1/2)
"Everyone, please listen to me."
Under the gaze of the refugees, the soldier began to speak: "These relief rations are all given to you by our new king, His Majesty Owen Eisen Wells. From now on, you can receive one here every noon and evening."
"Can you really get two copies every day?" Someone in the crowd questioned.
"That's right!" the soldier replied affirmatively, "Your Majesty always keeps his word. People in the South, please thank your Majesty for your kindness."
Hearing this, the crowd started to get excited again. If this was true, then they would not have to go hungry every day in the future. The new king was a very kind man.
"There is one more important thing."
Then, the soldier said: "In two days, many passenger ships will arrive at the pier. For those who have no other place to go, please note that you can take those ships to Dawn City. Once there, you can live in the city hall on the same day.
Temporary residence. There are a lot of job opportunities in Dawn City. As long as you are willing to work, it will not be a problem to support a family..."
While the soldiers kept promoting the beauty of Dawn City, there were also mutterings from the crowd, wondering what they were discussing.
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, someone immediately pointed out: "But we have no money and can't afford the boat tickets."
"No need for a ferry ticket! All the required expenses will be borne by His Majesty, just go."
The soldier responded: "Rather than stay here and be afraid, it is better to go to Dawn City to start a new life. There are still two days left, so you should think about it carefully."
As soon as these words came out, the refugees started chattering.
The new king is very generous this time, just to transfer them to Dawn City.
Regardless of whether Auroville is as beautiful as the soldiers said, if you continue to stay here, you don't know if the Asian Federation will come over. Going to Auroville at least can guarantee your safety.
Moreover, everyone's villages were burned down by the demihuman alliance, so they had no worries about leaving the southern border.
"Then, let's start distributing wheat porridge."
After all that needed to be said, the soldier turned back and nodded to his teammates, who immediately opened the lids of two of the large wooden barrels and showed the refugees the hot wheat porridge inside.
The aroma of the food spread to the outside world, immediately attracting the attention of the refugees present.
They stopped their previous discussion and stared at the wheat porridge in the big wooden barrel with shining eyes. Their saliva could not help but flow out, and they almost couldn't bear it and rushed forward to grab it.
"Don't crowd, everyone has a share, come one by one."
Fortunately, there were soldiers on site to maintain order, so the distribution of relief rations was carried out smoothly, and each refugee was given a large spoonful of wheat porridge.
As soon as they received the porridge, the refugees couldn't wait to put it to their mouths and drink it.
Some people even burnt blisters on their tongues because they drank so impatiently, which made people laugh and cry.
After receiving the porridge once, some cunning people tried to receive it again and sneaked into the queue at the back. However, they were discovered by the sharp-eyed soldiers and were caught out.
"The amount of porridge today is really sufficient. Thank you King for the gift."
A refugee held the wooden bowl carefully, looked at the ample and thick wheat porridge in the bowl, and drank it gratefully.
After he finished drinking, he stuck out his tongue to lick the remaining porridge juice at the bottom of the bowl, and would not stop until he licked it clean.
Before this, the wheat porridge distributed by Count Claude was as thin as water, and there was a lot of sand in it, so it was not full after drinking it.
After this comparison, the refugees' favorable impression of the new king naturally increased significantly.
"Great, thanks to the king, my children don't have to eat bark and grass roots to satisfy their hunger today."
A mother shed tears of joy as she watched her child gulp down porridge.
"Thank you, His Majesty the King."
"Thank you King."
In the temporary resettlement area, the refugees were grateful to Owen while drinking porridge.
On the other side, in Bibo County, four cement steamships were docked at the pier.
After getting off the boat and taking control of the dock, Kadir immediately issued an order to dispatch the People's Army and Lizardmen troops to conduct a large-scale search of the city in order to understand the situation.
In the process, everyone witnessed the tragic situation of this city with their own eyes.
The city was filled with the smoky smell of the fire, and almost all the wooden houses inhabited by civilians were burned down, leaving only broken carbonized wood.
Most of the stone houses collapsed, and even if they didn't, they were burned black inside and out.
Located in the central highlands, the most conspicuous castle also shows signs of being burned by fire, and several high towers have long since collapsed.
This shows how ruthless Tristel Wells was, sending people to set fire to it so thoroughly that even the place where she lived was not spared.
After searching, everyone found a rare building that had not been burned down - the church. It must have been saved by the church members at that time who spent a lot of effort.
The vast majority of refugees also gathered in the surrounding areas, relying on church relief to barely survive.
There was also an episode here. When the Lizardmen appeared, the refugees thought it was a joint attack by demi-humans, which caused a panic.
Fortunately, the People's Army arrived in time, explained the situation and calmed the refugees' emotions, and the riot was able to be quelled.
After receiving the news, Kadir immediately rushed over and negotiated with the person in charge of the church, a senior priest.
The previous person in charge was the Archbishop, who died in the fire that day.
The other party was very excited to see Kadir, thinking that no one was taking care of Bibo County, the church had very little food left, and a crisis was avoided.
After the People's Army took over Bibo County, the originally fearful refugees finally felt at ease. They didn't have to worry about food and could take a free ship to Dawn City. No words could express their gratitude to Owen.
However, what Owen was worried about still happened.
There was a porridge distribution point somewhere. As soon as the wheat porridge was distributed, a soldier suddenly felt the urge to relieve himself.
"Two guys."
He asked the two lizardmen: "I can't hold it in any longer. Can you please send the barrel and the car back? I want to find a place where it's more convenient."
"Okay, go ahead and don't shit it in your pants." A tall and thin agile lizard man nodded.
"thanks."
After saying that, the soldier turned around and ran away quickly.
Another strong lizard man joked while cleaning up: "Humans make a lot of shit and urine."
"Compared to us, it is indeed a bit frequent." The tall and thin lizard man said, "We still don't know enough about humans."
After packing their things, the two lizardmen were preparing to push the cart and leave.
A refugee from the side suddenly approached, spat on the strong lizard man, cursed "garbage four-legged snake", and then ran away quickly.
The strong lizard man was so angry that he wanted to hit the man, but the tall and thin lizard man grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Ayong, don't do anything. Do you still remember what the patriarch told us? Just be patient."
Hearing this, Ayong took a breath and suppressed his anger.
"Amin, let's go." He said.
The two lizard men pushed the cart a few steps, when another stone flew from behind and hit Amin on the head.
"Ouch!"
Holding the place where he was hit, Amin looked back.
It turned out that after discovering that the lizard people really didn't dare to take action, a group of young refugees around them suddenly became bolder and picked up stones on the ground and threw them at them.
"It's all your fault! My village is gone."
"Why don't you filthy demi-humans die quickly? Why are you still alive?"
"This world would be perfect if there were no demihuman races."
The surrounding refugees cursed very harshly, cursing the demihuman race to die soon.
Amin grabbed Ayong to prevent him from running away.
"Ignore them, let's go!"
Against the flying stones, the two lizardmen quickened their pace, trying to push the wooden cart away from here.
As a result, the wheel hit a rock and accidentally rolled over.
"Oops!"
Amin was startled and quickly urged: "Ayong, hurry up and clean up."
Seeing this, the refugees behind them cursed the lizard men and increased the frequency of throwing stones.
Some people felt that this was not enough and wanted to go even further, so they picked up bigger rocks and prepared to throw them over.
"What are you doing! Stop!"
Just then, an old man came in cursing, stood in front of the two lizard men, and roared at the little bastards: "Come on! If you keep throwing, you'll kill me too."
Seeing this, the group of refugees stopped throwing stones, and the big stone was not thrown.
Glancing around the refugees, the old man cursed: "Do you treat your benefactors like this? These two lizard men just gave you porridge, and after you drank it, you threw stones at them. Doing this kind of thing of repaying kindness with enmity,
Even worse than animals! Disgraceful! We humans have all lost our face by you!"
"But they are a demi-human race..." someone whispered.
"What's wrong with the demi-human race? They are the lizardmen from the Mysterious Forest, soldiers serving His Majesty the King. They are not the same group as the demi-humans in the south! Can't you even tell the difference? Besides, you guys
