Hailan and Canaan fared slightly better than Fijin, but population pressure was also high. It is precisely in order to alleviate the population pressure that the three major powers have to expand their territory to the outside world. Fizhen and Hailan aimed at the New World, creating large colonies in Vernoa and Grabelen to accommodate the surplus population, while Fizhen expanded south, aiming to bring the large and small oasis city-states of the Celestial Desert into their sphere of influence. Even so, the population of Fizhen, Hailan, and Canaan still outpaced the expansion of the territory, and the unemployment rate remained high year after year, which became the most troublesome problem for the government.

In this situation, tens of thousands of refugees from the Assanian Empire poured in like a tidal wave, and the rulers of Fizhen, Hailan, and Canaan were almost awakened in a dream, and they were busy deploying troops to blockade the coast, strengthen coastal defense patrols, and prohibit ships carrying Imperial refugees from calling at ports.

The governments of the three countries have also cracked down Imperial refugees who have been smuggled into the country. The ruler of Canaan, Prince Glopha, was kind-hearted, but he refused to grant the exiles legal citizenship, and without proof of identity, he could not hold public office in Canaan, set up a factory or shop, or buy houses and land...... You can only survive by working in the dark.

The cabinets of Fizhen and Hailan were even more ruthless, urgently passing the "Illegal Immigration Sanctions Act", authorizing judicial organs at all levels to search for smugglers, send them to prison first, and collectively escort them to the ships and sell them to the plantations in the New World as slaves...... Many refugees who fled the Assanian Empire and were desperate for a new life were trafficked to the colonies, where even more miserable conditions awaited them.

The hostility of the three kingdoms of Fizhen, Hailan, and Canaan, from the royal family and the government to the lower classes of the common people, towards refugees from across the sea undoubtedly dealt a blow to the imperial fugitives, forcing them to change their destinations.

But where else can they flee?

At the brink of despair for the exiles of the Empire, the government of Kolas in the Far East showed them a way out.

On November 15, 1623, under the impetus of Roland, the Far Eastern government duly introduced the "Immigration Act", openly declaring that immigrants were welcome to move to the Far East, and the government of Kolas would give corresponding convenience, and those who met certain conditions would be granted citizen passports on the spot, and provided resettlement places and job opportunities.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately spread throughout the world through the "Magic Broadcasting Network", covering the entire world of Vares, and sparked heated discussions within the empire.

At this time, the Frank and Muller cabinets were busy implementing reforms, where could they care about appeasing the fugitive serfs, and did not pay too much attention to the immigration laws issued by the Far East, and took a step back, the empire's population of more than 200 million was also a huge burden, and the Far East was willing to accept those "low-end population" who went bankrupt and fled, which was equivalent to helping the imperial government relieve the pressure, what reason did they have to object?

With the acquiescence of the imperial authorities, the fleeing army immediately turned to the Far East as its preferred destination.

From the interior of the empire to the Far East, the only way to go west is the Ulino Pass. However, the pass was blocked by the military fortress of Fort Olevy, and the commander of the fortress, General Karl, was an unreasonable and stubborn old man who always refused to let the refugees pass.

Since there is no land route, the fugitives have to find another way. Along the narrow "Coastal Corridor", you can take a random boat to enter the Storm Ocean, along the coastline north to the Coral Sea, and then advance to the Golden Horn, and finally land on the Parnia Peninsula after more than half a month.

The Parnia Peninsula is part of the "Far Eastern Court", but it is not a place where refugees can settle down.

Parnia is also a country with a long history and is very wealthy, but the rich always have the difficulties of the rich. Witnessing the refugees pitching their tents on the sands of the Golden Horn and turning this scenic resort into a messy garbage dump, the elegant and noble Parnians were deeply disgusted and panicked, and if the situation continued to deteriorate, the entire Parnia Peninsula would be occupied by refugees from the interior of the empire, and the quality of life of the indigenous people would be intolerably damaged. Faced with the flood of refugees from across the sea, the half-vampires reacted in the same way as the inhabitants of Fizhen, Hailan, and Canaan, strongly urging the royal family to drive out the refugees as soon as possible and restore peace to Parnia!

Carol and Theodora were not merciless rulers, and were sympathetic to the plight of the Empire's fugitives, but in the face of the outcry of the people at home, the couple had no choice but to rush to Krasbourg to meet with the Kolas father and son to negotiate a solution to the refugee problem.

In the evening of the same day, the "Far Eastern Royal Court" convened a council, and after some consultations, a final decision was reached: the Kingdom of Kolas would accept refugees for Parnia, and Parnia would open the military port of the Golden Horn to the Kingdom of Koras, so that the Northern Fleet stationed on Kolas Island could finally go south along the coastline to the Coral Sea, and get a base for rest and training in the warm southern seas; In addition to this, the Palnia royal family also promised to provide part of the money needed to resettle the refugees.

On the night the agreement was reached, the camps in the Golden Horn were informed of the good news by public broadcast. The refugees cheered excitedly, the whole beach was filled with laughter for the rest of their lives, and the cries of "Long live the kingdom of Kolas" and "Long live His Majesty Rudolf" gradually became high-pitched and converged into a large chorus with a rhythmic beat. The exiles who have endured hardships finally see a ray of light in the face of almost despair, although they have not really set foot on the land of the Far East, and have psychologically regarded themselves as real Far Easterners, perhaps this is the so-called "sense of belonging".

On November 25, 1623, the first group of Imperial refugees stranded on the beaches of the Golden Horn finally arrived at the magic train from the kingdom of Kolas, happily packed their belongings, and boarded the "special train" for them to their new homeland.

Winter in the Far East is as fierce as the legend goes. Most of these refugees from the interior of the empire were born in warm provinces, and some had never even seen snow or ice, and the trip north was an eye-opener. The howling north wind and the flying snow outside the car window brought a very visual impact to the exiles, and they could not even imagine how the Far Easterners would survive in such a winter when the mountains were covered with ice and snow.

Fortunately, the constant spell inside the train kept the temperature at a suitable level, and the ride did not suffer from the cold winter, but the exiles were inevitably worried about what to do when they got off the train. Most of them had only one or two pieces of carry-on clothing, no cotton clothes, let alone leather jackets, and were left in the ice and snow after getting off the bus, what could they do to protect them from the cold winter of the Far East?
