Watching the refugees gradually move away from the city walls, the sergeants finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Renard ordered: "Don't let your guard down for the time being, after all, there are no number of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods among these refugees, so distribute food first, and then set up tents for them to live in." ”

Everyone nodded yes when they heard this, and then carried out the task step by step under the arrangement of Ray Dawang and others.

Immediately afterward, Renard turned his gaze to the Inquisitor and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, I may not have time to entertain you personally, you can go to the city to rest first." ”

Vivien smiled when she heard this, "It's okay, I might be able to help." ”

As she spoke, she jumped up and flew in the direction of the refugee, specks of fluorescent light falling from all around her, and everyone who came into contact with the fluorescent looked excited, as if all the injuries and illnesses in her body had healed.

The refugees' expressions became more reverent, and even from a distance, Renard heard words such as benevolent angels and great gods.

At noon, puffs of smoke rose from the refugee gathering area, and the strong smell of rice spread, causing the hungry refugees to roll their throats and the sound of swallowing saliva from time to time.

The soup is meat, and the rice is simple, but as long as they can fill their stomachs, these refugees can't take care of much.

In order to avoid a looting stampede, the Heidi garrison and cavalry divided the refugees into ten parts before distributing food.

The refugees were initially uncooperative, but eventually reluctantly moved to the aid of food.

Two hours later, when the refugees were well fed and drunk, and were ordered by the sergeants not to move around freely, Taylor came to report to Renard: "My lord, the refugees' mood is basically stable, what should I do next?"

Pacifying more than 20,000 refugees was not an easy task, but the other side still did a very good job.

Renard couldn't help but look up at the tavern owner, if he didn't know the details, the other party was at least serving as a colonel's staff officer in the staff now, but unfortunately the origin was unknown, and he could only serve as the lieutenant colonel for the time being, and he was also controlled by Sir Howard.

He touched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there any extra arable land in the territory?"

The big soldiers around looked at each other, only Arka and Mark knew something about this, after all, it was difficult to take people to patrol the territory every day, and it was difficult to understand it.

Arka said: "According to the Sky Knights, more than 90% of the arable land in the territory is now being used, which is still a little insufficient. ”

It is also right to think about it, there are now 80,000 or 90,000 farming households in the territory that depend on farming, and even if it is calculated according to 10 mu of cultivated land per household, 6,000 square kilometers of cultivated land is needed, and the area of the entire territory is only 9,000 square kilometers.

While Renard was at a loss, Sir Howard, who was looking at the map with his reading glasses, suddenly knocked on the table and asked, "Is there still empty around Rafal?"

His words were like an initiation, Lei Ye patted his head hard, and pretended to be annoyed and said, "Why didn't I think of this place." ”

In the past, there was a shortage of manpower, and demons were wandering around, so the territory was abandoned.

However, now it is different, he has dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the demons, so that the entire Earl of Meredith can not see the shadow of half a demon, and now that there are so many new forces, isn't it the best time to build Rafal City again.

However, the specific plan needs to be carefully considered, who dares to guarantee that no one will make trouble when these tens of thousands of refugees arrive in Rafal?

After deliberation, it was decided that the powerful professionals should be removed from the refugees and incorporated into the army, and they would not dare to make trouble.

And the military is quite well paid, and these people should not refuse.

As long as these professionals don't take the lead in making trouble, those mud legs who rely on God to eat will want to make trouble and have no heart.

After making a plan, the sergeants began to register the population one by one, as instructed, and told the refugees: from now on you are the subjects of the county of Meredith, and you will be protected by the army, and you will be given land and shelter.

The refugees, who had just had enough to eat, were overjoyed to get carried away when they received the news, and they thought they were going to be tenants, but they were still free, and they distributed houses and fields.

Although it was a little hard to believe, the refugees, who had no way out, still had hope and chose to believe the sergeants' words.

In the evening, the camp was busy again, and the air was filled with the smell of wheat.

Because the number of refugees is so large and the amount of food and hot water they need is so large, many refugees have volunteered to join the workforce.

After dinner, several old men came to Renard's tent with their bodies slumped over, and looked inside timidly.

The guards outside the tent were waiting to drive them away, and it happened that Renard came out of the tent and hurriedly gave a military salute.

Several old men knew that this was a senior officer in the army, and hurriedly bent down, revealing the most humble gesture: "Merciful lord." ”

Renard looked at the old man who took the lead a little familiar, and then remembered that the other party was the old man holding his grandson in front of the cavalry shock formation: "Is your grandson okay?"

Hearing this, the old man's expression trembled a little with excitement: "He is very good, His Excellency Vivian used his magic skills to pull him back from the brink of death, thank the merciful lord, thank the merciful god." ”

Renard nodded with a smile, and then said, "That's good, if there is any need, you can tell my subordinates." ”

Then he departed.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then shouted under the encouragement of the eyes of several old people around him: "Merciful lord, I have something to tell you. ”

Renard stopped when he heard this, and looked at the other party curiously, not knowing what news this emaciated old man deserved his attention.

The old man pondered for a moment, and then said with some shame: "Actually, we have come here because we have been deceived by others. ”

Renard raised an eyebrow, not showing much surprise, but rather a look of anticipation.

Seeing that he was not to blame, the old man became emboldened, and added: "Actually, the number of refugees who originally came here was several times more than this, but they left a lot halfway, and the person who took the lead said that they were going to other cities in Nanhuang County. ”

The old man paused for a moment, as if something was stuck in his throat: "We don't understand anything, we just know that we follow in a daze, and we end up being led into the abyss." ”

As he spoke, he shuddered: "We were less than two days away from crossing the forest, we were taken to a clearing, and then countless demons appeared out of nowhere. ”

With a frightened look on his face, he waved his arm to make a gesture like a demon: "Such a tall demon will directly kill the leader." ”
