Han Maple Fortress opened the city gate, and the refugees gathered under the city wall instantly gave up their sweet dreams in the cold wind and rushed in front of Chris.
"People who are suffering, listen to me, just one word..." Chris shouted, and even Dorothy, who was standing next to him, became hoarse. But the refugees didn't want to listen to them at all, and they didn't even want to hear them anymore.
Afraid of the soldiers' swords, they just wanted to rush into the gate of Hanfeng Fortress.
In the end, Erwin thought of a solution to the problem. He threw down a few grenades. Because the fuses were short, all the grenades exploded in mid-air. After a period of tinnitus, the group of refugees finally calmed down.
"Poor people, I know how much torture you have suffered. The benevolent Snow Lord Reginald Victor asked me to help you get rid of this suffering and let you regain happiness and warmth..."
While speaking, Chris carefully observed everyone's expressions. As he expected, there was no gratitude, excitement or joy on these people's faces. Especially the men standing at the front, they just wanted to
Hurry up and rush into Hanfeng Fortress to grab food, clothes, and everything they can grab. This is the instinct of the Bayer people, and it will never change.
"But even though the lord is so kind, he can't save all of you. Men who are in good health and have no worries. You have the ability to make a living on your own. The lord will give each of you some bread. Please leave now.
here."
The Bayers did not respond. There were indeed many mature men among them who had no worries. Most of the men rushing in front were of this type, but they did not intend to leave. After suffering for so many days, Hanfeng Fortress finally opened.
City Gate, no one would choose to leave at this time.
"Of course, not every man is carefree," Chris continued, "Some of you have wives, some have children, and it is not a shame to bow your head for your wife and children. The lord is willing to help you!
"
The Bayers still didn't respond. They could understand what Chris said, but they didn't understand what Chris meant.
It seems that Chris wants to be more direct.
"Sir, do you have a wife or children?"
"Of course I do, I have a beautiful wife and three children."
"Where are they?"
"They are in the village east of the royal capital."
"It seems a little far away," Chris smiled. "Let's do this. I'll give you five pounds of bread, and you go bring your wife and children over. The door of Hanmaple Fortress will be open to you again."
"They are really in the royal capital. I originally wanted to bring them with me, but my wife is sick and she can't walk. My child needs to stay with me to take care of him!"
Looking at the man's eager expression, it seemed that what he said was true.
But what can really happen? He is just a scumbag who abandoned his family when his wife was seriously ill.
"Sir, please go to the soldiers to get bread. Next sir, do you have a wife and children?"
"Wait a minute!" the rejected Bayer man yelled, "Let me in! Let me in now! Hanfeng Fortress belongs to the Bayer people!"
He wanted to push Chris, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Sandos cut it off.
The man with the broken hand was wailing wildly, and the refugees were making some commotion. One man shouted loudly: "They want to kill us!" Before he could finish speaking, Erwin dropped a few more grenades.
People became quiet again and had to admire Chris's courage. He could be so calm in the face of tens of thousands of hungry refugees.
"Next sir, I'm asking you, do you have a wife or children?"
"I do, they are right here," the man called his wife over, who was holding a little girl in her arms.
Chris was not innocent. He had noticed this family as early as on the top of the city.
"Sir, take your family with you and register your name with the soldiers. You will get food and clothes, and you will also get a warm place to live!"
After a simple registration, the family walked into Hanfeng Fortress, and then the situation became simple.
A man walked up to Chris and said, "Dear Sir, I also have a wife and children, and they are right here."
"My lord," cried another, "my wife is frozen to death, but my child is still alive."
"I have kids too, and they're right here!"
…
People kept shouting, and Chris asked Dorothy to speak for him: "Men with families! Stand in line and go to the soldiers to register your names. Ladies who are helpless and have no families, those under the age of fifteen
Children, please stand on the right side and follow the soldiers directly into Hanfeng Fortress!"
The Byers are not wild beasts. When the opportunity to survive is right in front of them, they can also learn rules and order. It took a whole day to take in more than 4,000 women and more than 1,000 men in Hanfeng Fortress. There are also more than 1,000 men outside the city.
There were more than 4,000 men left. Only a small number received the bread and left, while the remaining men were still waiting for the lord's gift.
Unfortunately, there is no gift for them today.
Chris has returned to the city. In the cold wind, his clothes have been soaked with sweat. Half of them are tired and the other half are scared.
Sandos stayed at the door, borrowing Dorothy's skills, and said to everyone: "Who hasn't received bread?"
The men felt that the situation was not good, but they were just refugees after all. By the time they came to their senses and decided to take action, Hanfeng Fortress had already closed its gates.
The angry Bayer people took up arms again and yelled and cursed outside the city in the most vicious words. They described Reggie as the product of the cooperation between earthworms in the fields and ditches and maggots on the feces, and then used the most obscene methods.
, greetings to all the women in Lane Country.
Erwin patiently listened to the scoldings from the city. If the matter ended here, everyone would be happy.
But the behavior of the refugees was destined to escalate. This group of carefree men thought they had nothing to fear. They once again picked up crude weapons and began to attack the city gate.
Reggie, who was standing at the top of the city, didn't say anything more. He left the rest to Erwin. When he walked down the city wall, a deafening explosion came from outside the wall.
Ten minutes later, the city was filled with meat and blood, and the living people fled as quickly as possible.
"Did you hear that, lucky people?" Chris stood in the middle of the street and gave a second round of education to the refugees who had entered Hanmaple Fortress. "If you want to join Lord Shattered Snow, you must accept the Lord's rules. Now, go back
Come to your residence and enjoy the warm stove and hot soup."
Happiness came so suddenly that it caught people off guard. The refugees rushed into their homes and, after filling their bellies, began to search for living expenses.
This is the nature of the Bayer people. Problems that can be solved by robbery should be solved by robbery. A man named Asharif snatched an iron pot from his neighbor's house. The angry neighbor snatched a basket of broken pots in front of his house.
Charcoal, Asharif wanted to fight with his neighbor, but his wife stopped him because his first child was about to be born.
The panicked Asharif told the soldiers the situation. He wanted some milk and more charcoal.
After learning about this, Reggie personally sent food, quilts and charcoal to Asharif, called a doctor to help his wife deliver the baby, and prepared a set of clothes for Asharif's child.
The birth process went very smoothly. Two hours later, Asharif heard the cry of the child. When his wife and child fell asleep, Asharif tried to hide the bacon and milk that Reggie had sent. Tomorrow he would have another
You want to go to your neighbor's house to rob them. If your neighbors discover these things, God knows what they will do.
But the space in the barracks was very small, and there was almost no place to hide things. Asharif thought about it all night, and finally came up with a good idea at dawn. He went out to pick up some scrap wood and made a hidden compartment under the bed.
All the meat and milk were hidden inside.
The wife who was woken up looked at him complainingly. The child's eyes had not yet opened, but he just cried a few times. Asharif fed both mother and child some milk, and his wife hugged the child and fell asleep happily.
Seeing his wife and children sleeping, Asharif felt extremely happy. He walked outside the door and laughed loudly for a long time, but happened to bump into Chris.
He bowed hastily and turned around to go back to his room, but unfortunately he couldn't leave.
Chris came to see him. If Asharif knew what was going to happen, he would have been looking at his wife and children last night instead of doing those boring and stupid things.
"Sir, it's time for us to go."
"Go, where?"
"Go to work," Chris smiled. "Work for Lord Shattered Snow. This is an obligation you must fulfill."
"My child, my child has just been born, my wife needs to be taken care of, let me go, let me go!"
…
There was only one day of happy life left for the men. Early the next morning, all the adult men were sent out of Hanfeng Fortress and sent to the southern border to build sentry towers.
The men thought about resisting, but when the soldiers placed a bomb at the door, they were forced to give in because their wives and children lived in the house.
Asharif kept crying on the road, a soldier named Delon said from the side: "Have you cried enough? I'm not sending you to the gallows, I'm just asking you to do your work, and the lord will pay you.
.”
Asharif wiped away tears and said: "My child was just born, and my wife..."
"Someone will take care of them, don't worry, don't play tricks, otherwise your wife and children will suffer."
"And my bacon and milk. I hid them under the bed. My wife doesn't know about it yet. You must tell her..."
