Chapter 099: Inspection
The scale of [Rock City] is slightly smaller than that of [Star City], but there are more than 400,000 people.
The number of people who fled after the civil strife was at least about seventy percent, but the soldiers fled to different fortress cities in several ways.
There were originally about 80,000 people who fled to the [Star City], but because there were many casualties on the way, plus some of the people who left after learning that the [Star City] surrendered to the mutant species, there are now only 50,000 people left.
[Star City] It is naturally not difficult to digest these forty or fifty thousand people, but the difficulty is how to find out the 'human demons' inside.
For more than a month, the refugees from [Rock City] have been living in temporary camps outside the city, and the [Star City] side originally planned to come and wait for the rabbits, sending people to monitor in the shadows, trying to catch the 'human demons' who committed crimes during this period.
But the 'human demons' hiding in the refugees are obviously not stupid, as if they had guessed this a long time ago, and they couldn't be more honest.
This also makes the security of the makeshift camp outrageous, and the most serious case is just a fight between two people.
Therefore, when the city guards sent people to gather everyone together, they were all very cooperative, and it took less than an hour for nearly 50,000 people to come to an open field.
The high-level leaders of [Star City] came to the temporary high platform and sat down one after another, intending to watch a good show.
Li Qiye still acted as Du Ya's humanoid mount, sitting in the center of the high platform, and could easily overlook the audience.
At Du Ya's signal, Jiang Shan, the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, picked up a loudspeaker, walked to the front, and said to the refugees under the high platform:
"I think you have more or less heard that today's Star City is different from the past, sitting in the middle behind me is the new city lord of this Star City, Lord Li Qiye, and on the shoulders of Lord Li Qiye is the Divine Crow of Wise and Martial Arts!"
When Jiang Shan said this, the bottom suddenly became noisy, and many people were looking at the high platform with curious and fearful eyes, wanting to see what the legendary 'divine crow' looked like.
In the past few days, the news of [Star City's] surrendering to mutant species has indeed spread in the temporary camp.
Many people chose to leave after hearing the news, and the [Star City] side did not stop it at all, because these people themselves are also troublesome, and it is better to go all by yourself.
But most of them stayed.
Some people don't want to travel long distances anymore, afraid of dying on the road, and some people don't care whether they surrender to mutant species or not, as long as they can survive, what is the dignity of the mere species?
But without exception, they were all curious about who the 'Divine Crow' Lord was, who could make the [Star City], which was even bigger than the [Rock City], easily surrender.
There is even speculation that the 'Divine Raven' will be the legendary mythical creature of the super-rank, but of course, these are only speculations, and no one has specific information.
At this time, they were curious to see it with their own eyes.
However, one by one, they were afraid that too direct peeping would anger the 'god crow', so they were sneaky when they watched it.
Jiang Shan also noticed this, but he didn't care, just raised his hand and pressed emptily: "Silence!" Quiet! β
After the audience was silent, he continued: "Lord Crow knows that your life outside the city is not satisfactory, so I have decided to start officially accepting you and let you also become a member of Star City......
When Jiang Shan said this, it caused an uproar again!
The venue that had just quieted down was also noisy again, some people were so excited that they almost cried, and some partners and family members hugged each other to show their excitement!
Jiang Shan also deliberately paused, did not immediately call a stop, waited for a moment before signaling to be quiet again, and said:
"But I think you also understand that choosing to join Star City means that you will serve the Raven-sama, if you don't want to, you can leave now, and no one will stop you."
Jiang Shan paused, and seeing that no one said anything, he continued, "Since no one has left, it means that everyone is willing to serve Lord Crow, which is very wise...... So, I won't say any more superfluous, and I'm calling you here today, in addition to explaining this matter clearly, I plan to take you into the city.
After a while, the soldiers of the city guard will arrange for you to come forward in batches to swear allegiance to Lord Crow, and register, after the registration, there will be a special person responsible for bringing you into Star City and arranging temporary accommodation for you. β
After Jiang Shan finished speaking, there was another cheer below.
"Raven-sama, what's next?" Jiang Shan walked to Li Qiye's side and asked Du Ya in a low voice.
"A group of 100 people...... You are free to play. Du Ya said.
"Yes." Jiangshan led the way.
Not long after, the city guards arranged for the refugees to come to the high platform in batches in groups of 100 people.
Jiang Shan still stood in front of the stage with a loudspeaker, and when the first batch of 100 refugees came to the stage, he began to play freely: "Are you ready?" If you're ready, please read ...... me."
It can be seen that this kind of scene is a piece of cake for Jiangshan, and he casually made up an oath of allegiance on the spot, and it sounds like that, not at all like the current one.
The first phalanx of 100 people below also read along with him, and in a short time the oath had been completed.
In the eyes of others, this is just a formality.
However, in Du Ya's eyes, it was different, because when these people finished taking the oath, they were automatically included in his territory, and for those who had the territory camp, he could see the camp aperture.
As a result, circles of different colors soon appeared on the heads of these hundred people, and most of them were yellow circles, only a few were dark yellow, and one or two light greens.
Obviously, the vast majority of those who have pledged allegiance have not yet made up their minds to allegiance, with a few exceptions.
Du Ya was not surprised by this, if it weren't for that, he would have to be strange.
"No problem...... Next batch. After confirming that the first batch of people were all right, Du Ya waited for Babo Dao by his side.
Barbo waved his hand into the distance, signaling that it was okay.
The men of the city guard immediately began to arrange for the first batch of people to register, and then released the second batch of 100-man phalanx.
Jiang Shan was already handy at this time, and directly took the second group of people to start reading the oath of allegiance again.
Du Ya just glanced at it, confirmed that this group of people was fine, and said to Babo: "The next batchββ"
Gbagbo waved his hand again into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the third batch of hundred-man phalanx also approached.
It didn't take long for the oath to be read, and just as Barbo was about to wave his hand again, Du Ya suddenly said:
"Third row...... Sixth from left. β
Babo's heart moved, and he immediately realized what was happening, and walked directly to the front of the high platform, pointed to the person who Du Ya pointed out and said: "The one in the blue shirt and black pants in the third row, well, it's you, you stand there and don't move, the others can go and register." β
This sudden change made many people realize that something was wrong, because the first two batches of people seemed to be just going through the motions, how could this batch be different?
Those who were still waiting whispered, and most of the third batch of 100 people, except for the one named by Gbagbo, also walked quickly to the registration office, not wanting to meddle in business.
But there were still a small number of people who stayed with the man, and it seemed that they all knew him.
