Of course, the horses that pull the carts are all intelligent horses, and the grooms who drive them are all in a state of invisibility - yes, each sidecar team is equipped with a Pixar. They are neither grooms nor
, they are not only veterinarians, but also excellent spell assistants. Their entanglement skills are very useful in defensive battles.
As far as they are concerned, the scene of tens of thousands of people acting together is too spectacular. They are excited and curious, but at the same time they can be shy and hide and observe. This is their favorite thing to do.
Therefore, there was a strange scene where the sidecar was unmanned and still moved forward according to the plan.
After all one hundred sidecars drove on the new road, another long queue slowly drove out amid a series of orders.
The migrating army was still divided into teams according to the original plan of one hundred floor-type vans. After several days of careful allocation, the one hundred teams were basically carved out of the same mold.
A floor-type boxcar, two knight captains, one man and one man, ten ordinary light and heavy trucks, about 20 various cart-drawing animals, and about 140 immigrants (the proportion of young and strong women and children is very even, basically reaching one
than one).
The one walking in the front was a floor-type carriage driven by tree men and four horses to help pull it. It was at its heaviest now, filled with grain inside and out, and weighed more than twenty tons.
Even if the tree person is not pulled up, it is a bit troublesome and requires the help of external force.
The situation there is divided into two types.
There are not enough tree people and enlightenment trees, so currently two-fifths of them are dragged by them, and the remaining three-fifths are given to the animals, which do not have such strong pulling power.
Therefore, only two-fifths are filled with grain, and the remaining three-fifths are filled with light sundries and a small amount of grain, which must be transported at the right time.
Chengdong's ten light and heavy trucks are not in the same situation. Their combined carrying capacity is less than one floor-type van.
One hundred and forty civilians were evenly distributed around the vehicles, either helping to drive or driving livestock. There were several halflings, and some were already busy processing food in several trucks.
.
The truck they were in was obviously specially modified and was a very stable Si Slay King truck. In the middle, there was a deep and high iron pot that was more like a bathtub than a pot. It was filled with water and a clay stove.
In the early morning, an open fire was lit and water began to boil.
The light salt water burned inside was used to replenish water and salt for the civilians along the way.
After noon, various ingredients will be added to it and stewed. By the time you are ready to set up camp at noon, the food will be basically cooked.
The two knight captains who had just taken office, one after another, would trot back and forth every once in a while to patrol. As they walked, they emphasized loudly, "While we were on the road just now, we can take advantage of those who are strong enough."
Put your legs on the other side of the car, try not to ask for a ride, and save horsepower. If you feel uncomfortable or tired, you can support the car and walk. If you feel uncomfortable or unable to support, speak up early and don't ask for force.
If there is a need to solve personal physiological problems, try not to act alone, be sure to ask for information and stay in the rest time.
Don't worry, they won't go too fast the next day. They will give us enough rest time. Every hour we walk, they will stop and rest for half an hour, so we can cover 20 kilometers.
, they have completed the task for tomorrow.”
The sounds of horses neighing, shouts, farewells, children sobbing and crying, whispers of scolding...all mixed together.
When it was completely separated, the entire convoy was more than two kilometers long. Both sides of the newly opened road were densely packed with Dalauma citizens several times the size of the migrating army. Some of them came to see them off and some came to see them.
Lively.
"I have known for a long time that Lord Gavin's legs are unusual, but I didn't expect it to be so unusual. It is not just a simple immigration, but even the road has been built along the way."
"Originally, he was very wrong and squandered his worries. Now there is no need at all. That doesn't mean immigration at all. It means an army. An army of this size. If they don't provoke them, they will have to cry with gratitude.
Now, who would dare to provoke them?"
"I think they will just pass by there? Those blind monster races will definitely be wiped out. They are all natural food supply stations."
"If he had known about this situation earlier, he would have applied to join the immigration ranks before."
"It's not too late to join now. Didn't I hear what they said? They are now in the running-in stage. They will definitely not go too fast in the past few days. Go back and clean up quickly. You can even catch up on a fast horse tomorrow. Anyway, there is ready-made
Roads, and I don’t need to worry about food.”
"It makes sense, he will go back and deal with it now."
"Why are you so anxious to show off? I'd better ask first if they are willing to join you? If you are afraid, it's not too late to act."
"Hahaha... If he is too impatient, then he will ask."
"I asked, if you want to join me, will you get the same treatment as before? Hurry, go back and prepare."
"He thinks that matter can wait. The relationship between Lord Zalanda and Lord Gavin is so close, and there will be more and more cooperation in the future. If there is a need, he will definitely organize a second and third one.
It’s not too late for Poixing to wait until that time to join. Not only will the organization be more mature, but they will also be able to understand the past situation of immigrating first.”
"That method has both gains and losses. All aspects are indeed guaranteed, but the preferential policies are not necessarily as big as that time."
"If I seek stability rather than profit, then I need to consider it myself. There is no good thing that can have both ends."
Stimulated by the passionate migration scene, I slapped my forehead and realized that there were not many people who joined them, but they were very few. The next day, there were so many people coming from the East, that is, there were only a hundred or ten people, and each brigade increased by one on average.
No one showed up, and no one quit temporarily.
Because that matter had been brewing for a long time, before departure, they had already organized May on the spot, leaving enough time for those who were not determined to regret it. Those who were left behind had been suppressed by a series of policies.
Promises and thorough preparations will be tied up.
The big pot of rice for the migrating army is very attractive to many Tethyr citizens.
Tethyr was in chaos and had been weak for a long time. Even if Zalanda took over Darauma, the changes he brought there were limited in a short period of time. It only made many people feel fair and just treatment, but
Those who should not be struggling east of the food and clothing line must still continue to struggle in the east to ensure that they will not starve to death. Zalanda has done everything he can.
Why did Zalanda agree so readily to Gavin and help him on his thousands-mile migration?
It is undeniable that personal emotions are factors, but they are by no means the dominant factor. The real reason is that Darauma is indeed overcrowded. Many people are struggling east of the hunger line, especially those citizens who are forced to stay outside the city. It is better to call it a tent camp.
It sounds ugly, but in fact it is a refugee camp. If you don't go deep into it, you can't imagine the hardship inside, and you can't imagine what they can do if they just eat one bite.
During that great migration of thousands of miles, there were indeed some small families and wealthy people who wanted to take advantage of the new layout to expand their influence, but it was less than one-tenth of them. That can be seen from the animals and trucks that accompanied the team.
You can see it.
Among the one thousand vehicles, more than a hundred are owned by individuals, leftovers, purchased from the legs of Dalauma citizens who were not planning to move, or repaired and pieced together from old trucks. Anyway, the ownership is unclear.
No matter what, those animals are basically not in that situation.
What Gavin and the others were worried about at first was that those immigrants were unwilling to sell the grain in their legs and accept the unified allocation. Either none or a few, but most of them accepted the condition and were overjoyed.
Because many of them were struggling just to have enough food and clothing, and there was not much food left in their legs. If Gavin had not been instigating the great migration, many of them would have been forced to leave Dalauma and return to the wilderness.
At least there, they have a piece of land that they can cultivate and make a living.
All in all, the poor immigrant class occupies the absolute majority.
Originally there was another class - businessmen, especially those grain merchants, who were gearing up to prepare for this matter, and even hoarded a large amount of grain for this purpose, preparing to sell it to the immigrants at high prices on the road, even if they had no money.
There is no need to press hard. They can sell themselves and sign labor agreements for several years or even more than ten years. Even if they don't reach the valley, they will transform themselves and become the biggest pioneers.
But Gai Wen's unified food allocation policy was a heavy blow that wiped out all the plans of those profiteers.
If Qiu Mo sells it to Gavin at the normal market price, Qiu Mo will lose all his pants.
Because in Dalauma, most of the main force buying food was taken away by Gavin, and the first batch of potatoes in the war farm blessed by Zalanda with the artifact of war will be ready to be dug in less than October.
A good harvest is completely foreseeable.
At that time, Zalanda will use work-for-relief, hire a large number of people to move along the migration path, and carry out further refinement. Is this the already agreed upon strategy?
There are traders who are wise to stop losses, but there are even more stupid and greedy traders.
Anyway, Gavin's thousands-mile migration will have an impact on all aspects that exceeds many people's imagination, and Dalauma will be the first to bear the brunt, and it will be felt very quickly and very clearly.
The next day, Ye Yi, the migrating army, walked twenty-four kilometers. When they set up camp, the sun was very high. It would not be a problem to walk another ten or eight kilometers. However, Gaiwen and the others still chose to stop east and spend a lot of time to hold a meeting.
All knight captain meetings are held to conduct summary and rectification.
Many problems, even if they were not thought of in advance, will be exposed one after another along the way and must be optimized and adjusted.
"Since they have so much time and the smoothed road is much easier to walk than they imagined, moving the dining car can provide them with most of their meals on the road. Why not change the time of marching eastward?"
“How do I want to change it?”
"We set off at dawn, rested and walked for five hours, rested on the spot for four hours, then walked for another five hours, and set up camp on the spot before dark."
"He agrees with this decision. The heavy workload is a bit high even for tree people, let alone enlightening trees. They can't fully recover with just a morning's rest. If they can, it's better not to do it."
The morning and morning action times will be advanced and delayed by one hour each, and the lunch break will be changed to six hours to give them sufficient time to absorb nutrients."
"Treants and Enlightenment Trees are the main force of their migration, and we must pay special attention to them. They are still in the running-in stage, and the load does not need to be so heavy. First, march for three hours each in the morning and afternoon to ensure that they can walk three times a day.
Ten kilometers, do it for three consecutive days, and increase the amount as appropriate after three days."
"With so much rest time, he suggested that each team organize herding, gathering teams, and hunting teams to collect and hunt nearby, and replenish supplies and food in a timely manner."
"How will the materials collected be distributed?"
"It goes without saying that it can be managed centrally and distributed on demand."
"He thinks there is something wrong with that method. It cannot mobilize the enthusiasm of those immigrants. He believes that from now on, telling those immigrants that their total supplies are only that, and using one less for one cent will definitely not be able to support them.
Valley, they have to find a way to solve part of it on the way."
"That method can be used, but it cannot be used now, because it is too close to Darauma, which will make some people have second thoughts. If you want to use it, you have to wait until you have traveled five or six hundred kilometers and there is no village or shop in front of you.
, at that time, they can choose to obey."
"Your Majesty is right. When the time comes, the harvest will be divided into two parts. One part will be kept for yourself, and the other part will be collected and distributed as needed. After all, the construction teams and soldiers have no way to go out and collect it themselves."
"Ha... wouldn't that be a territorial tax? I didn't expect that it could be used during migration."
"The load of the giant elephant tree people is greater. They need longer light from the red moon. The operation time of the vanguard battalion will be extended by an additional hour in both directions."
"Actually, there is no need to postpone all of it, just a part of it, because they have enough human legs and can work on part of it first, and then they have to repair the part, which needs to be coordinated with the movement time of the giant elephant tree people."
"We can make deployments based on needs, but the two sides cannot be separated by more than ten kilometers, otherwise it will be difficult to respond if a war breaks out."
"They shouldn't have Zhai Lu at home. They are looking for soldiers and generals. They should take the initiative to attack."
"If we want to take the initiative, we have to walk at least another hundred kilometers. The monster tribes nearby have been repeatedly swept away by the Lord of Zalanda and General Nora, and they have been wiped out long ago."
"No wonder I haven't seen a single goblin or half-orc after walking for a long time."
"Do you have any other questions that you would like feedback on?"
"there is none left."
"He doesn't have any anymore."
"Then let's break up the meeting."
After a series of adjustments, the migratory army walked thirty kilometers the next day, and it was not very easy. Under the leadership of the knight captains, the Dalauma immigrants were like passing locusts, clearing the migration path.
Wild vegetables, pastures, and wild animals hundreds of meters away were all wiped out.
As a result, not only the quality of their food has been further improved, but the total quantity of food has not decreased, but has actually increased.
It is midsummer now, and the products in the wilderness are very rich.
Food shortages began to occur in Dalauma. This was entirely because the population was too concentrated and the wilderness was too dangerous for ordinary people. They dared to move around Dalauma and did not dare to go deep into the area to collect and hunt.
If not forced, sending the army to protect a large number of civilians and collectively entering the wilderness to collect and hunt could alleviate the food crisis to some extent.
The overall situation of the migrating army was in good shape. After walking a hundred kilometers, they began to speed up. On the fifth day, their marching speed reached fifty kilometers.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will move forward at that speed if they meet Donglai.
Because now, they were out of Darauma's range of influence and truly entered the wilderness. In the darkness, there were countless pairs of peeping eyes.
However, the size of the migrating army is too large. When they gather together, there are very few people who dare to trouble them. However, the danger of going out for hunting and gathering can be greatly increased.
The two armies were on the ground, and Gavin and the others decided to attack instead of defend.
A large number of aerial scouts - Erd, harpy kobolds, pixies and a small number of flying horse knights, were all dispatched one after another by Gavin through teleportation. They followed the planned migration path to the surrounding areas.
Spread out evenly, all monster tribes that are ten kilometers away from the migration route are listed as attack targets.
There is no need to declare war, and there is no such thing as benevolence, justice and morality.
Rushing in, killing them all, plundering all their supplies, and burning the tribal villages to the ground is the most correct strategy.
Because they do not treat human beings in that way, their legs are even crueler and more despicable. At least humans will not eat them, and they rarely rape their females (no matter how noble humans are, it is difficult to appetite them)
, are all true warriors), it is not uncommon to find human corpses in hanging pots in their camps, tortured women with no human form, and it will further strengthen the murderous intentions of those soldiers.
The small human villages, towns and castles we encountered along the way were more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away.
Their lords, chiefs, village chiefs and other rulers would come riding fast horses, bow to them, send money and food, and pray that the migrating army would not harm their territories, villages and towns.
Not to mention denying Zalanda, even if he was in a strange territory, Gavin would not be able to do anything like burning, killing and looting.
Naturally, those people can have friendly exchanges and take the opportunity to buy some supplies from their legs, while reaffirming Darauma's right to rule this place and the importance of the migration route.
In those villages and towns with very good geographical advantages, which are conducive to the development of commerce and migration along the migration route, Gavin can even directly purchase properties with deep pockets and select a dozen or even dozens of people from the immigrant team to settle there.
Immigrants are inherently useful. They do not necessarily have to immigrate to the valley, they just want to be able to use it for themselves and create value for themselves. No matter where they are, they belong to their own territory.
Since the migration road was not built and opened up by them, they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to firmly control it in their own legs.
The kind of property purchase that relies on existing towns is the first step, and the second step is the kind of city-style hotel that Gao Se's mother mentioned. Gavin has taken advantage of the situation to inspect each construction site, and the subsequent construction work will not be difficult.
Those who migrate, not the kobold construction team.
On the seventh day, the migrating army ushered in the most important greeter - a light cavalry of 3,000 people, the light cavalry of Ritavin.
