Chapter 225: She Said... She's your mother!
To everyone's surprise, the sudden snowstorm that swept through most of the Northland did not last long, but came to a sudden halt in the early morning of the third day after a day and two nights of roaring.
But even so, the immigrants who had just experienced a big war and generally did not have much rest, after pushing open their tents with some difficulty, what came into view was a crystal white northern scenery. The snow outside the camp in the distance was even up to the waist of an adult male, giving it the feeling of the aftermath of the disaster.
The immigrants were keenly aware of the anomaly, that is, the entire sky above the camp seemed to be enveloped by a large translucent spiritual light.
After the cold wind penetrated this invisible 'wall', it became 'gentle' and warm.
It was precisely because of the existence of this [Wind Barrier] that ordinary people, who had no extraordinary abilities, were able to survive such a natural disaster-like blizzard.
Otherwise, the cold wind alone could blow their not very tightly pitched tent into the sky at any time.
"Thank you for the protection of the Guardian Dragon!"
This is the prayer that many of the Silver Moon immigrants pray after waking up in the morning.
Many of them still believe that Silverwing and the griffin defeated the orcs and blessed them.
Although this windproof barrier is indeed the work of Silverwing...
But the camp could still hear sparse cries of despair at the moment.
Although the casualties of the Orcs in that battle were strictly speaking, war is war, and even with the timely support of the Cavins Rat Men and Levi, the death toll in the entire camp still reached five hundred and forty-two.
The wounded were at least four or five times that number, and the vast majority of them were gnolls and gray dwarves on the front lines.
In comparison, these Silver Moon immigrants who have no combat effectiveness have relatively few losses.
However, the dead may only be a member of that cold set of numbers, a common name, but in reality, it means that a family is likely to lose its backbone, a wife has lost her beloved husband, and children have lost their father.
It also means that they have lost the most important member of the family, the breadwinner they can rely on.
Such tragic examples are not uncommon around them, and such families often quickly fall to the bottom of society, like lowly maggots, who live with all their might, and only live.
Therefore, in despair, it is difficult for them to understand the state of the other group of immigrants in this camp not far away.
Many of them also have family members killed in battle, but most of them often become more resilient after a night of mourning.
Now, for example, Herbert's family sees a number of female gnolls who have lost their husbands shoveling snow in front of their tents with their children.
While shoveling, he also told the heroic deeds of the child's father in a non-standard lingua franca, and even encouraged his children who had not yet grown up to follow his father's example in the future, and in the near future, he would also become a glorious Zeelandia warrior, guarding his homeland, and he seemed to have no worries about his future life and fate.
Farther away, the Grey Dwarves began to shovel snow efficiently after attaching a set of shovels to the steam locomotives.
It's just that these gray dwarf drivers obviously don't seem to have much experience in shoveling snow, and often shovel and shovel, and their locomotives are buried by the snowdrifts piled up in front of them... Then a group of gray dwarf drivers hurriedly got out of the car and hurriedly dug up the unlucky eggs.
"Honey, you say... They... Will they be sent back to Silvermoon City by the lords here? And what should we rely on to survive?"
Herbert's wife asked, looking at the Silvermoon compatriots who had come to the camp with some pity.
In normal times, Herbert would have said: 'Everyone has their own destiny, and we have it... There's nothing you can do, don't think about it...'
But after that legendary war, Herbert thought about it and analyzed: "I don't think so, otherwise Lord Levi wouldn't have recruited so many orphans in Silvermoon City, don't worry too much, the lord will make arrangements." ”
Coincidentally, as soon as he finished saying this, a wolf cavalry riding a monitor lizard held a big lama temporarily rolled up with iron sheets and informed the people:
"The lord has an order! Everyone gathers in the newly built cemetery in the west of the city to participate in the funeral of the fallen heroes of this battle!"
"The lord has an order..."
Herbert and his wife looked at each other.
When will they, the militiamen who have been temporarily conscripted, be called heroes?
The funeral process was not long, but it was solemn enough.
All the dead were cremated separately and buried neatly on a beautiful hill in the Griffon Mountains west of the city.
On the mounds, which are not high, there are V-shaped steles of the same size, on which the lives of the fallen are engraved.
Maybe they used to be just ordinary farmers, a person who wasn't even officially recorded by Silvermoon City, but at the moment, they all have the same epitaph:
Killed in the battle to defend the banks of the Seblin River!
Dead heroes of Zeellandia!
After all of them lined up to pay their respects to the departed, they finally met their new lord again.
Originally, these Silvermoon immigrants only thought that this elven merchant would be like the supreme lady of the Silvermoon Federation, compassionate and generous, and then give them some pensions that can barely survive.
Unexpectedly, after a brief opening remarks and a heart-warming speech, Levi dropped a bombshell on people:
"In accordance with the first edition of the Regulations on the Honour of the Fallen Martyrs of Zeellandia, formulated by our extraordinary meeting of Zeelandia,
"From now on, all the families of heroes who have been recruited by Zeellandia and died in the war will be issued a "Zeellandia Heroic Martyr's Certificate" by the Zeellandia Ministry of Administration.
"The families of martyrs are the families of martyrs, including the parents, spouses, children, younger siblings under the age of 16 and other relatives who raised the martyrs, and can enjoy bereavement benefits in accordance with relevant regulations.
"The standard of the martyr's pension is 30 times the per capita disposable income of Zeellandia in the previous year at the time of the martyr's death, and according to last year's calculation, the families of the deceased this time will be able to receive 36.84 Hogg wolf head gold coins from the Zeellandia Government Department.
"If only children under the age of 16 remain in the families of the martyrs, the children will be raised by Zelandia until they reach adulthood, and their pensions will be paid in 10 years after they reach adulthood.
"If the family members of the martyrs do not have professional skills, they can apply for a job with the Zeellandia Department of Administration, and Zeellandia will give them priority in their job positions.
"Above!"
As Levi's new regulations were read out, even the old people who had long been accustomed to Zeelandia's style couldn't help but breathe when they heard that they could get as many as thirty-six Hogg Wolf Head Gold Coins at one time.
Hogg Wolf Head coins were issued in honor of Hogg, the first lord of Zeellandia, and due to their high gold content, beautiful workmanship, and strong purchasing power, they were quickly accepted by the people of Zeellandia, and even many of the drow nobles in the upper town would secretly collect some of them, even though the new currency was not officially recognized by Gerthorne.
Most of the time, ordinary people only need copper coins and silver coins to live and use, and even many people have never seen what the so-called Huo Wolf Head Gold Coin looks like, but they know that forty-two silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.
And on weekdays, a Huo dog... Well... The silver coin of Huo Wolf's head is enough to maintain the basic necessities of life for about a week.
Nearly thirty-seven Hoggold heads are already a windfall!
If you don't squander indiscriminately, you can live your life without too much pressure in life.
Even the Silvermoon immigrants, who had no idea about the purchasing power of the so-called Hogkin head, knew that this was a considerable fortune when they saw the way everyone else was breathing heavily.
Even if this pension is ignored, it is even more unheard of for orphans to be raised by the government until they reach adulthood and to give their families the opportunity to apply for a job.
At that time, these Silver Moon immigrants who suddenly turned red finally knew why those female jackals were so calm.
Perhaps before this, this territory called Zeellandia had similar policies and regulations.
Just when Herbert, who was in a trance, returned to the camp canteen with his family, who was also hopeful for the future again, to solve the breakfast problem, he suddenly found that the 'rice aunt' in the canteen, who was still played by the gnoll warriors, had all been replaced by the families of the martyrs.
And one of them was an old acquaintance of his wife's previous pity and sympathy.
"This speed... It's a bit fast. ”
Herbert suddenly became a little uncomfortable with the speed of such efficient execution of government decrees.
"It's so easy to work here... I don't know where to sign up..."
Herbert's wife was a little sour in an instant.
The corners of Herbert's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh when he was very angry:
'Women, that's how fickle... Hey...'
While they were eating, a huge crystal plate above the cafeteria window suddenly lit up amid the panic of the people, and two gray dwarves were pounding and pounding with hammers and wrenches.
Suddenly, behind a murmur and a black-and-white screen, a lot of information in lingua franca burst out on it.
Just when Herbert, an illiterate person, was smeared with a black eye, a young lady with a sweet voice began to broadcast the content in the entire canteen hall:
"Good morning to all the people of Zeelandia, this is the Quest Pick-up Board for Minas Tirith in Zeelandia New Town, dedicated to serving all the people with job application issues. ”
"Now for the broadcast:
"Application No. #C01: Zeellandia is now recruiting 800 migrant workers for sewer construction, led by Zeellandia Construction Workers, with unified training before employment, including education and training, and negotiable treatment....
"Application No. #B01: The 'Minas Tirith Great Wall Project' in the north of the city has been officially launched, in order to prevent the attack of the Orcs in the spring, the lord has decided to build a temporary 'Great Wall' in the northern pass, those with experience in repairing the city wall are preferred, the treatment is preferred, and the daily food ration is plus a fat fish head.
"Application No. #A01: Hoag Mining's Board of Directors voted at the meeting, and Hoag Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hoag Mining, was officially established!
"Application No. #C02: The factory in Chengnan Industrial Park officially started, first recruit a number of migrant workers, preferential treatment, interested parties please go to...
"Application No. #C02: Chengdong New Town Port officially started, those with fisherman's resume are preferred, minimum requirements, can swim..."
Looking at the huge amount of information of this magical 'big billboard' is constantly refreshed like a waterfall, and the rapid broadcast of the sweet voice, the immigrants eating in the entire canteen were first thrilled by the sweet voice, thinking that the announcer with such a sweet voice must be a lovely stunner, but with the continuous broadcast of the content, they couldn't help but be in an uproar.
It's all job postings?
As a result, more people who have just left or have not had time to eat and are worried about their future work have heard the news.
People suddenly found that after such a blizzard, the number of jobs they thought would be extremely scarce was so dizzying!
Herbert, who was originally going to finish his half bowl of white porridge and start looking for a job, saw that there were more and more people, so he rushed to the personnel tent next door to the canteen with half a bowl of white porridge in his bowl and began to line up in a long line.
As a result, when it was finally his turn, he was told by the registrar in a rather envious tone:
"It turned out to be Herbert, I have heard of your name for a long time, between your previous work history, and your excellent performance in this battle, the head of the Zeelandia War Law Regiment, Fisher, has already nominated and commended you, it should come down in the next few days, but about your current position, how about you take a look at this position?"
Herbert picked up the job list that he didn't know most of the words and glanced at it, well, he really knew half of the job title vocabulary at the top.
"Minas Tirith Newport City Guards..."
Herbert couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he didn't expect that this old lame man would go around and around for most of his life, and he would be a guard back to the city...
It's really... It's magical.
Hey, probably... So fate would have it.
......
Just when the entire Xincheng camp was running like a huge and efficient machine under Kaka's unified scheduling according to the requirements of Xincheng construction, Levi complained about Kaka's broadcast voice in the interval between meetings:
"I said, can't you change your voice to a less kitsch voice? You know, you're a news broadcast on behalf of our Zeelandia, on behalf of Hogg Mining, and on behalf of New Town!
"......" Kaka fell silent instantly.
"Why is it silent? The console is stuck?" Levi.
"I shouldn't have backed myself up in the first place. Kaka said suddenly.
"Why?" said Levi.
"I've been out of the factory for so many years, and I've never met a commander who is more difficult to serve than you! This is already the most versatile voice of carrier-based aircraft, okay! The voice of the entire xx (information missing) top 10 most acclaimed back then, but it is imitated... Whose voice is coming, for this reason, the other party even directly sued our Fourth Military Factory in court. "Kaka.
"God knows what kind of ghost world you are, it still feels a little too out of place in Zelandia at the moment, and these things under me have already begun to inquire about the new 'little sister' in our territory. Levi said speechlessly.
"That's not to say I'm attractive. "Kaka's self-confidence exploded in an instant!
"No matter how charming and useful it is, if you don't put it out, you'll be complained about sooner or later." Levi pursed his lips.
"You don't even plan to let go of artificial intelligence? Bad! Perverted! Not human! Karthas didn't do as much as you back then!" Kaka looked like a fried cat.
"Hey, you're telling me you're not in alike with Karthas!" Levi said as if he had discovered a new world.
"Hammer your sister! Commander, this machine warns you! If you tease this machine again, I'll just... But..."
Kaka suddenly remembered that this was not the universe he originally owned, and it had no place to complain...
Even the original data memory was so mutilated that it couldn't help but deflated as if it had been punctured and inflated.
Levi was about to continue to tease the artificial retardation that was getting more and more complete day by day as the database was established, when suddenly a jackal messenger entered their conference room tent and announced:
"My lord, a strange woman broke into our territory, wounded a city guard, and bluntly said that she wanted to see you. ”
The management at the conference table looked at Levi with gossip eyes, and that gaze was like looking at a scumbag who had been abandoned from the beginning!
Even Silver Wing, who was sitting in the corner of the side and listening, couldn't help but cast an interested gaze.
"Strange woman, can you still hurt the city guards, can you see anything?" Levi was also a little confused for a moment.
"I can only see that it's a barbarian costume, very... Pretty... But he was also very tall, five or six feet tall, and he had a lot of strength! And said..."The messenger hesitated.
"What are you talking about?
Levi raised his teacup and moistened his throat.
Just after crushing those damn orcs, Levi at that time was simply full of self-confidence!
Even if the comer is a legend, there is a free legendary fighter by his side, right?
She said... She's your mom... Come to confess your relatives..."The messenger closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"Poof!*2"
Levi and the silver wings on the side turned into water sprays at the same time. u
