The first batch of refugees to be transferred from Northern Xinjiang have already boarded the ships mobilized by the Federation. They will go south along the waters of Khaz Modan, landing at two locations in the Western Wilderness and the Treasure Coast. They will be transported from the north and south directions.
Sent to various towns in the Defias Federation.
This will be a very large-scale transfer operation. The Federation will absorb immigrants equivalent to one-third of the total population at one time. And as the war in northern Xinjiang progresses, the number of refugees who will eventually gather in southern Xinjiang will only increase.
, once the federation is unable to quickly digest these foreign populations, the entire federation's internal governance system will be shaken.
From this perspective, the federal upper and lower houses discussed for a long time, and finally decided to spread immigrants to various cities and towns, like sand, to reduce the impact of the immigrant population on the federal system. However, this decision is very important for the current stability of the federation.
The administrative ability of the internal strata is a great test.
Whether it is the entry of migrant population information, the allocation of personnel, the guidance of life and employment, and the allocation of production resources in the later period, it is a big project that makes people feel numb. However, if a country and a political system want to develop rapidly, they must go through such a test.
It is inevitable.
Under the protection of the garrison corps that has spread all over the ruling areas, there will not be much turmoil in the entire federation. However, the turmoil in the social security environment in recent times is naturally inevitable.
The transfer of the refugees stranded in Northern Xinjiang has also completely untied the ropes tied behind the various fighting groups in Northern Xinjiang, and they can finally let go and fight.
"Andorhal situation report!"
Lord Saurfang rode on his skeletal warhorse, surrounded by knights, and rushed in the direction of the Coldwind Camp. The camp was previously the only connection point between Hillsbrad Hills and Stratholme.
After Tyrion cut through the northern border, the mountains around the Ice Camp were also destroyed, but the camp miraculously survived, and the movement of the surrounding mountains formed a strange path across the Dalaran Strait.
Mountain.
It was controlled by the vanguard of the Berserker Chapter a few weeks ago, but because there is an active space node near the city of Andorhal, the death knights have been busy annihilating those from that node in the recent period.
Demons rushed out in a steady stream, leaving the city of Andorhal aside across a lake.
"Lord, one night ago, a violent space vibration broke out in Andorhal. It should be the vibration caused by the opening of the portal. The Kingdom of Lordaeron deployed all their air power at the nearby sentry post. Our scouts
It’s also difficult to break through this layer of defense.”
The high-ranking knights staying at the Cold Wind Camp reported to Saurfang:
"After the demon appeared, the human team that moved from Anton Hal to the Tirisfal area was pushed back into the city again. Based on the size of the city, there are at least 300,000 humans in the city. It is said that Luo
Prince Arthas Menethil of Danlon is still guarding this city."
"I feel like something is wrong with this city..."
Saurfang threw the horse rein in his hand to the knight behind him. He walked a few steps quickly, climbed to the sentry tower of the Cold Wind Camp, and looked at the city of Andorhal in the mist on the lake. After a while, the Death Lord
His expression is a bit strange:
"We can't wait any longer, attack now! Blast away this city! See what the hell humans are doing!"
"As you command!"
The high-ranking knights took the order and left. In just a moment, more than a dozen black cannons were pushed out of the camp by the death knights and lined up on the banks of the Sordo River. The terrain here was very bad. In the north
Before the land was cut open, many artillery could still be piled on the river bank, but now, the river bank here has become very narrow.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The whistling cannonballs flew out of the muzzle, bringing with them bursts of acrid gunpowder smoke. They drew an almost perfect arc in the air and hit the city wall of Andorhal. Watching the flames burst out on the city wall,
In the mist, the defenders on the city walls seemed to be panicking, and the city defense artillery began to fire back, but neither the power nor the frequency was far inferior to the firepower of the Dark Blade.
"The soldiers are still there...but I still feel something is wrong."
Saurfang didn't want to wait any longer. In his heart, the instinct of a top warrior and commander was vibrating. There was no doubt that there was something wrong with the city in front of him.
"Keep fire cover on the ground, and the skeleton dragon team will take off with me!"
Saurfang lifted the saw chain sword on the ground, carried his battle ax behind his back, and strode onto his skeleton dragon. In the deep roar of these bone dragons, those who rode the undead flying dragons heard death.
The knight followed the lord and roared into the abnormal fog on the lake in front of him. On the bridge leading to Andorhal City in front of the cold wind camp, several cannons were pushed out by the death knights.
This firepower is far from saturated, but the distance between the camp and the city is too close. The Dark Blade knights do not need complete anti-aircraft firepower. After frequent shelling attracted the attention of the city wall guards, Saru
The aerial team led by Farr roared across the sky. The moment they entered the city wall, the Death Lord jumped off his flying mounts with the high-level knights.
Like the craziest paratrooper, he landed behind the city gate of Andorhal.
And the moment Saurfang landed, the battle-experienced general immediately discovered something was wrong with the city... Although the defenders on the city wall seemed to be in large numbers, there were hardly many visible behind the city wall.
support, which means that those soldiers on the city wall... are probably abandoned to attract attention.
They were deceived... Humanity had done a beautiful "secret plan". At a moment when they were not paying attention, maybe just last night, most of the civilians and troops in the entire city were sent to another place. And the most important thing
Yes, the casters of the Dark Blade should not be able to feel the ripples of the space being torn apart!
"Those portals, there is something weird behind this matter!"
Saurfang shook his head and kicked away several human soldiers who were rushing towards him. When the death knight was entangled with those soldiers, Saurfang took a step forward and slashed forward with the ferocious chain sword in his hand.
After just a few sword blows, the mounds of ruins piled up behind the southern city gate of Andorhal to block the city gate were pushed away by the crazily surging power of death.
Amid the storm-like dust and swaying ruins, the Death Lord strode forward, and in less than 30 seconds, he cut a jagged crack through the thick gate of Andorhal City.
After a roar, the gate branched out in a destructive direction, along with the smashed pillars on both sides, causing the entire city wall to shake at this moment.
The opening of the city gate was like a signal. The death knights from the Cold Wind Camp rode their horses and rushed towards Hadohar City quickly, even though the center of the bridge leading from the camp to the city had been blown up by the human defenders a few days ago.
, but under the galloping horses of the death knight, the ice-spreading bridge is enough to allow these undead to pass safely.
But the vanguard of the Berserker Chapter rushed into the empty city. Except for the soldiers on the city wall who were still fighting fiercely, the entire city seemed to be empty. This surprised these death knights, but soon, Sasha
Rufal's order was issued again. Under the pressure of his will, the undead quickly dispersed into every corner of this huge city. After more than ten minutes, they finally made a discovery.
Those are the remains of the portal in the northeast corner of the city, in the square near the market in the civilian area. Four huge gate pillars stand around the square. Between the gate pillars, they are cast into rings similar to doors.
The golden frame, and under the door pillars, is the teleportation array that covers the entire market. Just judging from the scale, this thing can be called a real big project.
The Death Lord stretched out his hand and wiped it on the golden frame between the door pillars. The gold-like metal had traces of melting, which proved that the large portal exerted a strong pressure on the frame, and those on the ground
The black fragments were billowing in the wind like ashes, as if they had been thrown into the flames and burned, with dark red traces on the surface.
"It's worth a lot of money..."
Saurfang picked up a broken sapphire from the ground, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it. Although it had lost its original luster after being tempered by magic, just judging from the size of the gem, it was clear that this thing
value in human society.
"Look again, search the whole city, don't give up on any valuable clues!"
The Death Lord waved back, and the high-ranking knights behind him immediately dispersed in all directions. Saurfang was the only one left at the scene where the portal was left. He looked back at the corner shrouded in shadows.
, he said in a deep voice:
"Come out!"
"Shua"
The cover of the strange energy was actively removed, and a young human stood in the shadow. He looked like the heir of a large family. He was very well-dressed, as if he was attending a banquet, but behind him
The hidden dark and strange power means that things are not that simple. After feeling Saurfang's gaze, the young man straightened his black tuxedo, then put his left hand on his chest, leaned over slightly, and used magnetic force.
The voice whispered:
"The Barov family salutes you, Death Lord Saurfang, your name is as loud as the thunder."
"Hmm...a vampire hidden in human society?"
The Death Lord was not too surprised by the appearance of this creature in front of him. He had known for a long time that Nasa, the leader of the Blood Watchers, had left some "descendants" in human society, but this was the first time he had actually seen them.
once.
Compared with the orthodox Sarain, these human vampires lack the indifference of high-ranking lords, but have more cunning and haze, making people somewhat uncomfortable.
"I am here to deliver important news to you on the order of the family leader. Lord, two days ago, under the order of Emperor Lothar, the entire empire and its allies began the "final transfer" battle plan. In Kuei
Under the guidance of the most outstanding portal mage from the high elves of Erthalas, the empire spent a lot of money to build such super-large portals in various cities... This is the real treasure that the high elves have at their disposal."
The human vampire of the Barov family said softly:
"Andorhal is just one of them, but it has the smallest number of people, so the teleportation process is also the earliest to be completed. It is currently in Stratholme City, Quel'Dolin Hut, Hearthglen, Hand of Tyr and Hope of Light.
The Chapel, the Eagle's Nest Mountains in the Hinterlands, the Tempest Realm and Dusk Harbor in Gilneas, all the big cities still under the control of the human empire, all erected strategic portals for the high elves overnight, as well as preventing
Being obscured by the magic you discovered...it's a pity, but the Dark Blade is a step too late."
"What are the parameters of these portals?"
Saurfang asked again, and the vampire shrugged:
"At least 10,000 people can be teleported in one hour. In those cities with large populations, there is even more than one teleportation gate. Lothar spent all the wealth of the kingdom on this, but his people did see hope because of this. It is said that the teleportation gate leads to
Several different places, we guess it should be the Whispering Coast and the North Coast in northern Lordaeron... That is also the starting point for the Imperial fleet to transport immigrants by sea."
"Very good, do you have any other information?"
There was no frustration or other emotions on the Death Lord's face. It seemed that none of this could move him. Under his gaze, the young vampire moved his body uncomfortably. He could feel that the Death Lord's gaze was
It was like a cold sharp sword pressed against his neck.
"Also, the Paladins of the Silver Hand have built a strong defense line near the Tirisfal Fortress. The Silverpine Forest has become the Strait of Dalaran. Therefore, if the Dark Blade wants to invade Lordan,
Lun, we must break through that line of defense... It is said that there are some stubborn paladins in Tyr's Hand who are unwilling to leave. This is all the information the Barov family has collected so far."
"Oh, by the way, one more thing. The empire's sea migration and the portal operate at the same time. If the civilians in other cities have disappeared, maybe you can plunder the last batch of civilians near the Whispering Coast."
An evil smile appeared on the vampire's thin face:
"The number of civilians gathered there is very, very impressive... and it is said that the royal family of Lordaeron also wants to escort their people away from the sea. That is a real big fish."
After saying that, the human waved his cloak and turned into small black bats that gathered and dispersed in the shadows, quickly disappearing into the corner of the city. Saurfang looked back at the ruins of the portal remaining in the city square.
, he shook his head, and then passed the news to the Dark Blade King far away in southern Xinjiang through a spiritual link.
After a moment, the Dark Blade King's reply sounded in Saurfang's heart:
"Get them... back! I have to go talk to "Loyal" Khadgar first, and I'll be there soon!"
