Chapter 106: The Great Evacuation
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is December 28th. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nearly 600,000 people, tens of thousands of cattle and vehicles of all kinds, and thousands of tons of supplies have been gathered in the vast basin, which will be called the "first step of the empire." There is a steady stream of people arriving here every day, including not only followers of the God of Light and their relatives and friends, but also those who want to leave the Bright Magicians Guild and start a new life in other countries.
Hein? Akris is one of them. He had the opportunity to be directly promoted by Moridin to the head of the Criminal Division by assisting the Bright Army in rescuing the surviving students of the School of Magic at the Letting-Sackin Academy of Magic, but he gave up this opportunity and resolutely chose to leave the Bright Wizards Association.
It's not because Hein's high wind is bright, or because he's seen through the red dust. From the moment Moritin issued the order to execute all the members of the Great Families who participated in the rebellion, he had already chilled the president of the Bright Wizards' Guild.
Hine knew very well that the students who were rescued from the Academy of Magic and detained by the Bright Army had no idea about their family's involvement in the rebellion, otherwise they would not have been able to obediently become prisoners of the rebels, and after being captured, they would definitely stand up and argue with the rebels and strive for freedom.
Rebels are hateful, but so are those who are motivated by profit to rebel. But there is a debtor and a debtor, and Hain does not want to see innocents killed. Coupled with the fact that Moritin had issued an edict to clean up heresies before this, Hine felt that Moritin was a tyrant even more. Straightforward by nature, he didn't want to work under the tyrant, so he decided to leave the Bright Wizards Guild and go to a foreign country to develop.
On the afternoon of December 28, a motorized carriage appeared outside the entrance to the basin. This is the party from the city of Saktin, and the supreme leader is named Mel? Byron - In other words, this is Meier's convoy.
The members of the Theological Society in Sakding City had already arrived in the basin, and the reason why Meier and the others had arrived now was because they needed to coordinate the overall situation at the headquarters in Sakin City and organize the materials that needed to be taken with them.
There were many people in the convoy, in addition to the people of the Theological Seminar, there were also Myer's fiancée Xiaoxiao and Alice, Myer's three maids, Mel's friends and Yan brothers and sisters, Yanhe from Byronsburg, Alice's friend Ista and her mother Rytin, Shata, who had lost their family shelter Stranzie, Bifuel and Erin, and wanted to be by Stranzie's side, Erin's two maids, Bifour's maid Milan, Milan's family, Alain and Lulu, who left Saktinin City at the behest of the family, and Lulu's fifteen-year-old half-brother Tár, who each brought twenty servants, Alain with his fiancée and forty servants, and the Pershings.
After experiencing this rebellion, both the Livitts and the Willands experienced a sense of crisis and realized that the city was not a safe place. In line with the principle that you can't put all your eggs in one basket, both families chose to send the male members of the family to develop abroad, so as to preserve the family blood in the event of another chaos in Sakding City.
The departure of the Pershings was also an inevitable consequence. His four daughters were all married, and they did not believe in the God of Light before they got married, and naturally they will not believe in it after they got married, so they did not leave with Pershing. However, Pershing was not alone, and Pershing's half-brother Barton was willing to leave Sakin with him.
Incidentally, before leaving Sakkin City, Pershing had a letter sent to Gray telling him that he was no longer in Saktin. Maier also writes a letter to his parents, asking the person who sent the letter to bring it to Gray and Yunxin.
When Meyer's convoy arrived at the basin, he chose an open field and set up camp. After this, Larzi and Bolton approached the head of the Theological Seminar, and asked them to compile the number of people and materials and submit them in a report.
The Theological Study Society was very efficient, and they had already compiled the corresponding reports before Larzi and Bolton arrived, so when they asked the person in charge for these things, they immediately took out yesterday's data.
According to the available data and the analysis made by those in charge based on the data, the total number of people gathered in the basin will exceed 650,000 by December 30. This number was far more than Larzi and Burton had estimated, so they had to rework their marching plan and change the number of teams and the number of people in each team.
To the surprise of the two, the report specifically stated that Moriddin had sent a number of peasants. These peasants are stationed at the entrance to the basin and are guarded by special soldiers. The Theological Society sent to inquire about the situation, and the soldiers guarding the peasants told them that Moridin wanted to cultivate the fields here, without receiving a secret order.
The amount of waste excreted by hundreds of thousands of people every day must be measured in tons, and it has been established that the Theological Society has no intention of making trouble, and that Moritin, who is very calculating, will not let go of these fertilizers. When these hundreds of thousands of people leave, he will transform it into a large farm. The farm was cultivated at his own expense, so it was only natural that it would become his private domain.
Although Moridin is still very wary of the Illuminati faith, he doesn't hate these guys who are about to leave the Bright Wizards Guild now. These people knew that the destination was a far away place, so they bought a lot of things before setting off, which greatly boosted the economic development of the Brett Wizards' Association.
The lords who believed in the god of light chose to abandon their land and leave with their people who were willing to follow them. Moridin took the opportunity to take their territory under his own name and expanded his power once more. Although the lords had taken everything they could with him before leaving, the pots and jars didn't matter to Moriddin, the population of the realm was what he needed.
In the process of receiving these territories, Moridin found that the literacy rate of the people in these territories was surprisingly high, and many of them could do arithmetic. Only then did Moritin realize that he had not picked up a bargain, but a big bargain. After learning from the representatives of the people that the Theological Research Society taught the common people literacy and arithmetic free of charge, he even wanted to detain all the members of the Theological Research Society for his own use, but the fear of the belief in the Light God made him not make such a decision in the end.
On January 1, 134 AH, during Moriddin's high-profile nationwide heresy purge, the last few teams that wanted to leave the Bright Wizards' Guild arrived in the Basin. The defenders outside the basin shouldn't have let these people in, but they thought it wouldn't be a big deal to arrive a day late, so they let them go with the gratitude of the arrivals.
By this day, the number of people arriving in the basin had once again exceeded the expectations of the Theological Seminar, reaching a staggering 700,000. In order to reorganize the team, Larzi and Bolton had to delay their departure. Maier immediately sent someone to explain to the defenders outside the basin, but the defenders had long since lost their guard against these fellows who had no intention of rebelling no matter how much they instigated them, and they did not even send someone to inform Moriddin of the incident, but directly told the messenger that they did not care when the Theological Society would leave, as long as the Theological Society informed them before it left.
On 5 January, the Theological Institute completed the detachment and reorganization of 700,000 people. In the early morning of January 6, the team officially set off, and the defenders held a grand farewell ceremony for these people to celebrate the end of the mission. In this way, these 700,000 people evacuated the basin in an orderly manner to the cheers of the Bright army.
After this, the Bright Army, on Moritin's orders, sent cavalry to monitor the movements of the Theological Seminar. Since the vast majority of the team were civilians with no military training and poor discipline, the Theological Seminary marched much slower than expected in the first few days, taking seven days to reach the border.
The neighboring countries had long known that the Bright Magicians Guild would be making a big move, so as soon as the procession reached the border, they sent someone to negotiate with the people of the Theological Society. They inquired about the destination of the Theological Seminar, and then worked out the shortest route for them to cross the border as quickly as possible, and asked the Theological Seminarists to follow this route.
After the party had crossed the border, Meyer told Yanhe to return to Byronsburg first, and told the others about the 700,000 Leitinians who were going to move to Byronsburg. Yan He looked a little reluctant, and Maier thought that Yan He didn't want to work for him in vain, so he could only give her a jar of century-old wine.
After receiving the promise, Yan He's expression softened a lot, but he still didn't seem happy. Xiaoxiao knew Yan He's thoughts, so she persuaded Meier: "How can you let Miss Yan He do such a thing as running errands?" I think the people in the Theological Study Society are quite shrewd, so why don't they send someone to Byrensburg with your handwritten letter? ”
After Yan He heard the words of the smile, his mood immediately improved. At this time, she didn't know why she was unhappy before, and Xiaoxiao's words helped her find an excuse, so that she could not only stay with Myer, but also find a reason for her displeasure, under the wash of two good things, how could she not be happy?
Maier accepted Xiaoxiao's suggestion and wrote a handwritten letter to Ralzi and Bolton, asking them to send someone to try to get the letter to Byronsburg.
The evacuation went very smoothly, and after getting used to a disciplined life, there were many smiles on everyone's faces. But there are also those who are in a bad mood, such as Stranzie and Erin, who have not yet recovered from their grief, and Bifuer, who is depressed because of another incident.
As early as December 20, 133 New Calendar, members of the Great Family who participated in the rebellion were executed. The so-called "owl head" belongs to the upgraded version of beheading, that is, after beheading, the severed head must be worn on a wooden pole, or hung at the city gate to show the public.
Moridin felt that it was too heavy to wear his head on a wooden pole, and it looked too barbaric, so he had the rebel's head hung at the gate for a month. When they left the city of Sakkin, the heads hung at the gates, but they were rotten, and their faces were completely ruined, and maggots crawled out of their skins.
On January 1 of the new calendar, someone reported to Moritin that the heads hanging at the city gate really affected the city's appearance, and hoped that Moritdin would take them off and dispose of them in advance. Moridin felt that this made sense, but as the president of the Bright Wizards' Guild, he couldn't change his orders overnight, so he followed Shelvey's advice and took a compromise.
These heads were hung at the gates of the city with iron hooks and iron cables, and the iron hooks and iron cables were not afraid of burning. On the evening of 2 January, Moritin had oil poured on the heads hanging at the gates of the city and set them on fire. These heads burned in the flames, and became a terrifying and novel sight.
When everything that could be burned was finished, only the skull was left on the hook that had been burned to a crispy point. Coincidentally, the next day the wind began to blow, and the skulls hanging from the iron hooks could not withstand the wind and fell to the ground crackling. Moriddin had the broken bones cleaned up, and then the matter of a month's display was over.
Although the three of them had not seen Moridin toss his family's heads, they all knew that the heads of the family had been cut off and their heads were hung at the gates of the city. Bifuel was the first to recover, this was because his relationship with the family members was relatively weak, and the family was no longer there, so he could marry Milan in a bright and bright way, and he even felt a little happy when he thought about it.
Stranzie's relationship with his family members is also very average, but he is a person who values feelings, and the tragic death of his relatives has hit him hard. Fortunately, Shata has always been by his side, which made him not have the idea of suicide.
Erin's parents love her very much, and she has a deep relationship with her family members, so she is the one who hurts the most. Lulu has always been there for her, but the comfort of her friends is not enough to heal the wounds in Erin's heart. She desperately wanted to see Bifuel, but Bifuel was nowhere to be seen.
These days, Bifuel has been pestering Milan, Milan originally wanted to take advantage of the collapse of the Naix family to break off relations with Bifuel, but Bifuel has been pretending to be deeply shocked, she can't bear to abandon him at such a time, so she can only continue to be his maid, and meet his needs as much as possible.
However, at this time, Bifuer has become a man who cannot "stand up to the sky", and he can't eat the meat that is brought to his mouth. Bifuer, who found out that he was suffering from inaction, was very panicked, but he did not dare to tell anyone about it.
In addition to these three people, He Yan Xinye didn't look very happy.
When she went out this time, she wanted to take her brother completely and settle down in a place where her brother and sister were allowed to marry. She thought that after Maier completed the task, she could find a way to persuade Maier and Yan Zhiheng to follow her, but the status quo did not give her this opportunity at all.
The most important thing is that He Yan Zhiheng took the initiative to find the bird more and more often. Although every time the bird was impatient, he dealt with it casually and then ran away, but this made He Yan Xinye even more angry.
Brother Zhiheng is so cute, you actually think he is annoying?!
He Yan Xinye wanted to tie the bird to the chair and talk about the advantages of He Yan Zhiheng in front of her for three days and three nights - but she could only think about this kind of thing.
