"After receiving the reminder from Qingyuan Town that day, I tightened the defense line and gathered all the young adults in the city to prepare for the defense."

"As a result, the orc army arrived at noon the next day. The number was at least 100,000. After arriving, the orc army did not rest and directly attacked Jinyuan City."

"Although there are more than 3,000 imperial defenders under the handshake, plus 3,000 conscripted youths, but...the opponent's offensive is too fierce. They have been attacking all afternoon and did not give us any chance to breathe."

"You have also seen the subsequent results. Jinyuan City was breached that night, and the orc army entered the city directly. However, before entering the city, I also planned to fight to the death, but there seemed to be an extraordinary presence on the orc side, and a notice was sent to the entire city. .”

Having said this, Bernard paused and continued with a strange tone and expression.

"The content of the notice said that Jinyuan City does not need so many humans, only a few people are enough. The others gave us a time limit to get out of here and did not allow us to go into the empire. They only allowed us to withdraw to the west to clear the source. Take refuge in the town.”

"And... the orcs who reported it at that time also emphasized one thing, telling us that Qingyuan Town is very safe, so safe that they don't even dare to attack."

After hearing what Lord Bernard said, Gudern's face instantly became very embarrassed.

Praise!

Naked flattery!

Although the level of protection of Qingyuan Town is much stronger than that of Jinyuan City, it is not in a situation where the orc army will not dare to attack.

Driving the refugees from Jinyuan City to Qingyuan Town had only two purposes.

First, a large number of refugees will flow into Qingyuan Town, so that its management level will soar, and the old tricks will continue to be used, allowing the treacherous Charlesson family to send moles to incite chaos and cause trouble to Qingyuan Town.

Second, with the pressure of numbers and public opinion, once even half of the people in Jinyuan City are driven over, the food consumption pressure for Qingyuan Town will suddenly increase.

And the orcs can't just drive away a person from Jinyuan City. If other cities or towns are attacked later, they will use the same trick to drive one-third of the population of the northwest to him. Qingyuan Town can't use one. The moon would have to be breached from within.

This kind of conspiracy is not without the opportunity to counterattack, that is, closing the city to prevent refugees from entering, in order to protect Qingyuan Town.

But the consequence of this is to abandon all the refugees and let them spend the winter in the wild without heating and food. In less than a week, the refugees who come to Qingyuan Town will die in this winter.

And when the time comes, the orcs who control the northwest will be able to spread the word about what he has done, making it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the empire.

As the lord of a city, Bernard also saw the evil intentions of the orcs, and for the lord of Qingyuan Town, Gudern, this was also a difficult decision.

"Lord Bernard, do you know how many people in Jinyuan City fled to Qingyuan Town this time?"

Gooden was thinking about a solution to this problem immediately, and then asked Bernard.

"The orcs have no restrictions on those who escape. Even the imperial sergeants did not stop them. Although I came out from behind, I was traveling faster. I saw at least tens of thousands of people fleeing on the way to Qingyuan Town. .”

There are tens of thousands of refugees, but Gudern has no problem with this number. The current Qingyuan Town has no problem absorbing ten to twenty thousand people.

But what worries him most is the steady stream of refugees that may appear in the future.

Gudern thought for a moment in silence, looked at Bernard, and said seriously.

"City Lord Bernard, I'm afraid you can see how dangerous the current situation in Qingyuan is. Once the problem of accepting refugees is not handled well, it will be a dead end for me."

"At this critical moment, we should help each other and unite. I have two requests regarding the arrangements for the refugees and I hope to get your support."

"You said, as long as I can help now, I will do my best."

Bernard didn't ask what Gudern's request was, but gave an affirmative answer.

"First of all, there are not many guard troops in Qingyuan Town, not even one-tenth of the number in Jinyuan City. There are many imperial sergeants among the fleeing team. I hope you can regroup them and do defensive work. The command of the battlefield belongs to you, but I need to arrange the specific arrangements. I wonder if you can accept this?"

Regarding this arrangement, Bernard thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Although this makes him one level lower than Gudern, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the two of them to be on an equal footing or for him to command Qingyuan Town.

Now he was just asked to reorganize the Imperial Army and take control. It did not say that he would take over his management, which he could accept.

"Okay, second point, I need to recruit people who have fled and train them to join the army in Qingyuan Town. I wonder if you can accept this?"

"No problem, Lord Gudern, you can recruit as many people as you want, and I will help you too."

Regarding the second condition, Bernard agreed directly without hesitation.

"Okay, now I'm going to make arrangements for the reception of the refugees. Regarding your residence, I will ask my butler Old Joseph to make arrangements. It is near the military camp. If you have anything, you can come here to see me."

After Gudern made the arrangements, he immediately went to make preparations for the response, while Bernard and Feroze also left to prepare for the reorganization work.

In the afternoon, on the east wall, looking at the large number of refugees queuing up for registration, Gooden cursed secretly.

"His grandma, don't let me know which bastard came up with it, or your ashes will be scattered!"

Chapter 157 Refugee crisis, Helisa’s information

"Ah, cut...ah, cut...ah, cut..."

"Huhu..."

Gejir, who sneezed three times in a row, shrank his neck.

It's really cold this winter, which is a bit hard for his old bones.

But seeing that this whole city was under his control, the heat in his heart still dispelled a lot of the chill.

The attack speed of the orc army was very fast. At noon today, they had captured two cities. One of them, Gufeng City, which was less than 50 kilometers south of Jinyuan City, was the city he gained control of.

The scale of Gufeng City is slightly larger than that of Jinyuan City, with a population of about 70,000.

And now that after taking it, the first thing Gejir will do is to drive away part of the city's population and let them go to Qingyuan Town.

As for the plan for Qingyuan Town, it was he who proposed it. Hadri was also very optimistic about the plan and directly agreed to it.

By reducing the population of each city and town, the remaining food can not only provide necessary supplies for the orc army, but can also cause trouble to Qingyuan Town and directly disintegrate it from within.

This kind of trick, even if the orcs are extraordinary, can't help but marvel. Their minds are not as twists and turns as humans. Being able to think of such ideas also makes them more defensive against humans.

"Inform the secret guards that they must drive away at least 20,000 people before evening, and send a team to monitor their movements. They must run to Qingyuan Town."

"yes!"

Looking at the slow-moving team, Gezier informed his men to start speeding up the drive away.

The sooner the refugees arrive at Qingyuan Town, the sooner they can conquer Qingyuan Town.

For Gudern, Gergill only had hatred in his heart.

After finally waiting for the orc army to counterattack, when I returned to Snow Valley Town, I saw that there was only an empty town left.

This would cause everyone to collapse, and coupled with the repeated failures of the plan, he no longer had many conditions on the orc side to participate in the action.

If he didn't have a group of secret guards and an intelligence line that could contact the upper echelons of the empire, it would have been possible to directly kill him based on the situation of the orcs.

This scene of driving out the residents in the towns will not only occur in the two places of Kanehara City and Gufeng City, but also in other territories that have fallen to the orcs.

At this moment, nearly 150,000 refugees are rushing towards Qingyuan Town.

Outside the city wall of Qingyuan Town.

A large number of cold-warming, fire-fighting and branch-edge rises.

Thousands of refugees are also sitting around the arch fire to keep warm and avoid freezing.

For the safety of the town, the identity registration process for everyone is very necessary.

Although the number of facial collection instruments has increased to five.

However, it is still somewhat difficult to complete all the level processes in a short period of time.

Moreover, they had to be prepared for possible attacks by the orc army, and many soldiers were sent out to guard and defend outside the city walls.

Fortunately, when we took over Snow Valley Town before, many people also gained experience, and the speed of the collection and verification work was much faster than before.

From one afternoon to now, more than five hours later, more than 4,000 refugees have been admitted into the town.

At the same time, the temporary bungalows that had not been demolished before were also put into use here. This may not be enough for the refugees in Jinyuan City under the square fortress, but it will allow a small number of people to move in first.

And the three construction engineering teams also started construction work at noon.

The capital construction in Qingyuan Town was basically completed half a month ago. The subsequent construction work will maintain a basic expansion, and the scale will not be large. It will be arranged in a rotation system with one working day and one day off.

And now that construction is going all out again, the construction speed that has erupted is also terrifying.

In just one afternoon, the expansion work of half a block has been completed, and the construction of the first block will be completed in the evening. By then, there will be no problem in housing more than 2,000 people.

An apartment has three floors and six independent suites. The standard for a suite is two bedrooms and one living room. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem for three to five people.

Nowadays, if it is crowded, it is not impossible for two families to live in one apartment. An apartment building can accommodate at least fifty people.

This scale of construction is not just on one planned block, but is being started on three blocks at the same time.

When the construction is completed at noon tomorrow, the first batch of refugee reception in Qingyuan Town will be completed, and then Qingyuan Town will absorb more people to expand the construction scale to deal with the orcs' conspiracy.

This crisis also brings opportunities for Gooden.

The population problem has always been the top problem for Qingyuan Town, and now that the other party intends to 'support' him to death, Gooden will also launch a series of countermeasures to solve this problem.

The influx of a large population means that Gudern can convert more labor and soldiers. As long as there is enough time, he can digest this batch of personnel, let alone whether he can stop the attack of the orc army. .

It is not impossible that he can lead his troops to fight against the Orc Empire if conditions permit, but it is too early to say this now. There are still a lot of things that have not been dealt with.

"As for solving the problem of grain, let experienced farmers cultivate a 40,000-square-meter planting land according to the way of farming. Don't worry about whether it can be planted. The pattern of farming must be arranged well."

"Yes, Master."

The person in charge of farming nodded in understanding.

On the farmland outside the town, in order to avoid being given leeks by the orcs, they directly chose to harvest all the crops this season.

Of course, it is only for food. Those used for other purposes, such as cotton and rubber, are left to fend for themselves.

Nowadays, digging up agricultural land in the town is actually a helpless move. Gudern needs to constantly add entries to these lands to maximize bonuses and accelerate gains.

And we also have to get things like chemical fertilizers to enhance the nutrients of the land. The total of these tasks is not small.

"In addition, regarding the reception of refugees, these refugees need to be put to work instead of eating for nothing. The reception work of various departments needs to be arranged as soon as possible."

"At the same time, all their salary issues are discounted into daily basic food supplies, and those with outstanding performance are paid half of the normal salary to motivate them."

"I understand, but Master, will this cause dissatisfaction among them?"

Kroger nodded slightly and asked with some concern.

The welfare benefits in Qingyuan Town can be said to be one of the best in the mainland. If foreign refugees know that they are doing the same job, but they are only paid with food and half of their possible salary, they will definitely feel unbalanced. .
