Chapter 516: Migration
The officials of the Cordillera Territory were quite experienced with the flow of migration, after all, those refugees, orcs, and barbarians had to go through this process when they moved, and at the beginning of the migration operation, the supporting facilities such as sanitary quarantine, food supplies and housing were already in place, and even borrowed 2,000 tents for field marching from the city defense army in advance.
But when the green elf immigrants poured into the Cordillera like a tidal wave, they were overwhelmed with temporary checkpoints...... In order to prevent the immigrants from breaking through the checkpoint and disrupting the order of the territory, the city defense army sent 500 heavily armed orc warriors to maintain order, which allowed the inspection to proceed in an orderly manner.
The situation was not as expected, and the original plan was to carry out the resettlement work as secretly as possible, tribe by tribe. But after those green elves knew that their tribal leader had officially signed a conclusion agreement with the Marquis of Cordillera, these impatient green elves could not care about secrecy and concealment, and their infinite hope for a better life, regardless of the advice of the tribal leader, after cleaning up, dragged their families and families, brought the old and the young, and came towards the Cordillera, which became an unstoppable frenzy.
In fact, those tribal leaders are also afraid of long nights and dreams, and deliberately connived at the tribal people, and the most troublesome thing is...... Now there are not nine small tribes that have moved to the army, but thirteen, and some tribes that have been waiting and waiting for various reasons have also migrated, but because the other party did not have a name on the annexation agreement, it was rejected, and the leaders of those tribes have gone to the lord to apply for annexation, and have not returned. So in front of the checkpoint, the scene was a bit chaotic.
When the Tribe closest to the Cordillera learned of this, the tide of migration had already formed, and they were no longer able to stop this trend, and the warriors of the Tribe of the Three Days had no way to do anything in the face of the unarmed tribesmen, not to mention that they had not received any orders to stop these people from migrating south.
The Lord's Court has set aside forty settlements for the Green Elves on the Cordillera Plateau, all of which are scattered and scattered...... It's not all a matter of planning, but also whether these immigrants will be linked to each other and downplay the influence of the tribal system on them.
On the way from the checkpoint to the various settlements. Everywhere you can see teams of green elves on long journeys. Some tribes also have a lot of animals and even magical beasts, which are now used as vehicles...... According to the agreement, ordinary animals can be kept in the settlement as ordinary domestic animals, but monsters or beasts. Then it must be included in the lord's palace - the Imperial Horse Warden.
That's right. The name is a bit of a spoof. However in the Cordillera collar. There are many different races living there, and some of them have a special hobby of raising animals, which are basically concentrated. After all, if something like Warcraft is raised at will in the territory, it is a time bomb, either self-detonating or being used by others, and Hathaway will never allow this to happen.
Settlements are not the end of these green elves, new towns are popping up on the Cordillera Plateau, and the green elves are rarely joining the mines, although they are not as proud as the rumored elves, but the least of elegance will be exquisite, Yale, Mandy Gaza, Gettysburg and those new cities are their destinations, and countless jobs await them.
Quite different from the human, orc, and barbarian immigrants, for the green elves, who were not good at farm work and heavy manual labor, only the towns with developed industrial and commercial trade were the most suitable places to work, and the settlements arranged by the lord's palace were around those new towns.
Hathaway arrived at the checkpoint quietly, and although Hathaway believed that the Natural Church could not have focused much on the Cordillera right now, Hathaway felt it was necessary to keep the necessary low profile until the lid was lifted.
"Neri, are these the green elves of your tribe?" Seeing the green elves clustered outside the fence of the armed checkpoint, Hathaway asked with a frown.
The orc warriors obviously didn't have much affection for the Green Elves, they were heavily armed and arrogantly scolded the Green Elves who were in desperate need of clearance, and from time to time they used their spears to warn the restless Green Elves.
The half-orc warriors were never polite to these green elf immigrants, they shook their armor proudly, and they wanted to show off their martial arts with their chests high, and the breath from their noses seemed a little short.
Being able to show their majesty in front of these self-proclaimed elegant green elves is undoubtedly an opportunity for the orcs to be proud of.
They glared furiously at what seemed to them the pretentious Green Elves, their eyes wandering, as if to find a few troublemakers among them.
Although five additional checkpoints have been added, the number of people who can clear customs at seven checkpoints per hour is only 100 people, and for the thousands of green elves who flock outside the fence, they will experience their first lessons in human society...... That is, to act in strict accordance with the laws and rules set by humans, and now it is necessary to wait patiently in line and wait for customs clearance in order.
Neri's chest heaved and heaved, and a look of anger flashed in his eyes from time to time!
He was a little angry at the arrogance of the orc soldiers in front of their own people, and the orc officers seemed intent on indulging the situation.
Although the faces of the compatriots who were anxious for a new life were full of anger, they all exercised considerable restraint and patience out of concern for the repeated warnings that they must obey the laws and regulations of human society before leaving.
"Not exactly, my lord, the people you see clustering over there are not among the four tribes that we have obtained the agreement you have signed, they are the green elves of some other tribes."
Neri tried his best to distract himself from the infuriating scene in front of him, and bred himself up to answer Hathaway's inquiry, "That's one of the reasons I want to meet you, and the representatives of these tribes have arrived here to meet you. ”
Audience?
The corners of Hathaway's mouth curled slightly, it seemed that this word was only used when asking to see the monarch, but now Neri was using it on himself, whether it was sincere or useless for the time being. At least on the surface, the other side has made its attitude clear.
Of course, Hathaway will not be completely relieved about the return of these green elves, but she only needs to believe in one thing - the benefits of the green elves can only be given by her, and at the same time, she must let those green elves gradually believe in this.
"Niri, don't you think I'm troubled enough? The tribal leaders have been waiting for me in Mandi Gaza for three days, and they have strongly asked me to give them a satisfactory account. ”
Hathaway said coldly: "Barbarians and half-orcs also have representatives who are putting pressure on me through various channels, thinking that you are subordinate. It will harm their interests. I'm caught in the middle now, angry at both ends, do you understand my troubled situation? ”
Licking his dry lips a little nervously, for a period of time, Neri could be said to have been planning how to relocate the green elves of the nine tribes and the subsequent placement. Even the people with them have lost weight twice.
Fortunately, there are already quite a large number of elite people among these tribes. I found work in the Cordillera. Stand firm.
Now that they have legal citizenship, the rest of the business, though tedious, is relatively easy. The main thing is the issue of housing.
Although the living conditions of the green elves are more refined than those of orcs and barbarians, they are far less troublesome than humans, and the long-term wild life has made them accustomed to using local materials, and the wooden houses in the settlement are enough to satisfy them.
Now, if they could have enough bread to fill their stomachs, they were thankful, and now that these things were on track, Neri could straighten his back and catch his breath.
"Lord Lord, you should have anticipated these problems in advance, for you, this is not a big deal, the leaders of the Three Days Tribe are just a little complaining that you didn't inform them in advance, as for the orcs and barbarians, hmph, what qualifications do they have?
In the Cordillera, you are the owner of the land, it is your generosity that gives them who they are and who they are today, and the initiatives you carry out have only the right to carry them out. My lord, as long as the human citizens of the Cordillera have no opinion, nothing is a problem. ”
Neri still has a relatively accurate grasp of Hathaway's mentality, in fact, whether it is an orc or a barbarian, he has never made any decent remarks at all.
In the face of Hathaway's absolute authority, they muttered in private at most, and didn't even dare to complain...... As Neary said, as long as Hathaway's ruling base in the Cordillera – the citizens of humanity – has no opinion, everything will go according to Hathaway's plan.
Hathaway glanced at the other party, hiding the look of approval in her eyes. She didn't want to reveal her admiration for the other party too soon, there were still some outstanding people among the Green Elves, at least this guy was one of them...... Quick thinking, flexible mentality, without the inherent stubbornness and rigidity of the green elves, is quite rare.
"Neri, you're thinking too simply, the reason why humans don't have a problem is because you green elves don't pose much of a competitive threat to them, unlike orcs and barbarians. They stand on the parallel lines of competition with you in many ways, and the important point is that they now have the main force of the armed forces in my hands, and I cannot ignore any voice from them. Hathaway said meaningfully.
"My lord, I see what you mean. Rest assured, as soon as we settle in, our Green Elf warriors will report to you, and you will see an army that is no match for orcs or barbarians.
They will only be loyal to you, you let them advance, even if there is a sea of swords and fire ahead, they will never retreat half a step, you let them retreat, even if the front is full of gold and jade, they will not take a second look, please believe me to assure you with the honor of a true green spirit! ”
Neri generally secretly observed Hathaway's face, and said in a firm tone: "It's just that the number of Green Elf warriors in several of our tribes may be slightly smaller, so I have a rash suggestion, if you have time, you can meet the representatives of the tribe who have not yet received your blessing, whether it is to show your kindness or from the needs of the Cordillera, I think you will get more." ”
"Hehe, Neri, I have some doubts about whether you are really a green elf, your tone is exactly the same as that of a human, full of temptation and teasing, is there really such a beautiful thing waiting for me?"
Hathaway had a faint sneer on her face, "Neri, you still haven't learned the hypocrisy of human beings, if a human wants to express such an intention, he will be subtle and subtle, so that you will be unconsciously involved." And you, just a little bit of a disguise...... Well, you're already savvy, and it seems like it's only a matter of time before you integrate into the Cordillera. ”
Hathaway shoved Neary away from the topic with a closed slap, and she didn't respond directly to the other person's topic. Representatives of those tribes had gone to Mandi Gaza City to ask to see her, but she had deliberately left to avoid meeting.
These people did not give their allegiance in the first place, so why should they wait for her tolerance at this time?
The necessary reserve will help to gain more for the next step of negotiations, and it is necessary for Neri to bring this gesture back to himself...... Presumably, delaying for a while will make the green elves of those tribes complain more about their leaders, which will be very helpful for integrating into the Cordillera system in the future.
"Lord, they ......"
Neri was a little anxious, although this guy was keen to promote this matter, but it was by no means out of loyalty to Hathaway, but for the future of these green elves. So Hathaway's attitude made him extremely anxious.
"Alright, Neri, let's not talk about anything outside of our subject for now, I want a clear answer, when will the four thousand green elf warriors and those warriors and magicians be able to stand under the banner of Cordillera?" Hathaway interrupted with a wave of her hand.
Not to Hathaway's expectations, although the Three Days Tribe had a strong attitude, they also knew that they themselves did not have much binding power on Hathaway, so much so that when Hathaway said that it was possible to continue to absorb other small tribes of green elves into the Cordillera and give them citizenship, they also seemed helpless.
Hathaway even saw some subtle envy in the eyes of the leaders of the Sanjia tribe, and although they tried to hide this emotion in anger and resentment, there was no doubt that it existed.
Obviously, Hathaway's boldness and generosity in the treatment conditions of these small tribes of green elves made the leaders of the three tribals feel a little lost, and in the face of the Marquis of Cordillera, who was in an absolutely strong position, the green elves actually did not have much room for bargaining.
Even such a fierce and wild force as the barbarians was already prostrate at the feet of the other party, and the seemingly powerful force of the Green Elves was much less stressful and attractive to the Cordillera. And now that these small tribes are under the wing of the other party, the other side has gained a force to be reckoned with, and the balance of power between the two sides is more and more tilted in favor of the Cordillera. (To be continued......)
