As the few imperial teams that were still loyal to Catherine arrived in France, a large number of refugees also came to Hammondal.

Because of Catherine's negative attitude during the coup d'état, many people have doubts about the righteousness that Catherine currently represents. also lost confidence in her, so these imperial ** teams all produced a large number of deserters without exception, these deserters either laid down their arms and returned home, or threw themselves into the other imperial ** teams, and as a result, these armies, like the army led by Catherine herself, were already sharp when they arrived in Hammondal.

After the statistics, Catherine found that the number of troops she could control at the moment was only a little more than 60,000.

Under the orders of the current regent of the empire, Kendall, there was another wave of expulsion of aliens in the empire, the last time Catherine was just a migration of aliens from areas with serious racial problems, but this time, Kendall was a nationwide exorcism.

A large number of aliens were forcibly driven out of their homes by the Imperials, and they reluctantly packed their bags, turned back and left the land where they had lived for many years, and then began to move towards Hammondale if they went in other directions. They will be chased and killed by the local noble forces and small imperial ** teams who are monitoring them.

Where there was oppression, there was revolt, and some aliens began to organize against the tyranny of the Empire. But Kendall was very tough, he arranged for the griffin army to patrol the places, and the population of the aliens in the empire was not large in the first place, and it was too scattered, and before they formed a fighting force, these alien forces who dared to resist were wiped out by the imperial ** team. The remnants of them either managed to leave the empire or fled into the mountains.

These sporadic anomalous riots strengthened Kendall's resolve to drive out the aliens. On the one hand, he ordered the Imperial defenders on the border to be on strict alert against neighboring countries, and on the other hand, he recruited troops to expand the army in the Empire, and then mobilized the troops that could be mobilized within the Empire to suppress the aliens.

Although Catherine was dissatisfied with Kendall's approach, in order to stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible, she could only reluctantly order the imperial ** team loyal to her to cooperate with Kendall's actions and help escort the alien refugees to Hammondal.

The consequence of this was that more than 20,000 aliens had traveled long distances. With the emperor who was loyal to Catherine, he came to Hammondale one after another.

But that's not all, there are still many alien refugees who are heading towards Hammondal's side under the watchful eye of the Emperor's army.

Every day, hundreds of alien refugees pour into Hammondale.

At the same time, more aliens died under the sword of the emperor's ** team because of resistance, and more aliens fell on the road of the great migration because they were overworked, and died in a foreign land.

At first, Chen Jian was very happy about the arrival of these foreign refugees, because in his opinion. The Empire's approach is undoubtedly sending him people and troops to increase his power.

So he was very generous in accepting these foreign refugees, after a simple investigation. And he put them in the city of Harmonydale. He also comforted them, and asked Kosai to formulate a series of pacification measures to stabilize people's hearts.

But as more and more aliens appeared in Hammondale, Jian Chen finally couldn't bear it.

The number of foreign refugees was completely beyond his imagination, and in order to accommodate these foreign refugees, he had to consume a lot of supplies per dog.

And he doesn't have enough troops to control the situation, if one is not careful, these aliens make trouble, then the fun will be great.

For this reason, Chen Jian, who was a little angry, met with Catherine again.

"This must stop now!" Jian Chen said angrily.

But Catherine was obviously helpless about the current situation, and she smiled helplessly:

"The current situation is not what I am happy to see. I've tried, but neither Kendall nor the Empire have ignored my advice. If you come to me for this matter. Then you're looking for the wrong person! I'm so sorry. I can't do anything about it! ”

Saying that, Catherine sighed very tiredly, and said: "The imperial side is determined to drive away all the aliens this time, if they can't drive them away, they don't mind raising the butcher's knife against these aliens, in fact, many emperor ** teams are already doing this, after all, it is much easier to kill these aliens than to drive them to Hammondale." It's also a lot less effort, otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be more foreign refugees in your territory now! You know, the alien population in the empire is nothing compared to the total population. But there are 600,000 of them! ”

Catherine's words made Jian Chen a little surprised, although so far, the alien population of Hammondale has skyrocketed to as much as 60,000, but even if you add the number of people killed during the migration, it is far less than 600,000: "You mean, this. Will the old spell continue for a while? Will there be more interracial refugees in Hazhidai Elementary School? ”

Catherine nodded and said, "Not bad." Even if it's minus those that have already arrived in Hammondal. Those who died in the riots, those who left the empire on their own or went into seclusion, those who were secretly executed by the emperor's ** team, and those who died during the migration, there are at least more than 300,000 alien populations in the empire. And now, these aliens are advancing towards Hammondale from all directions under the escort of the emperor's ** team, according to my estimate, the aliens who can finally reach Hammondale should be about 200,000! ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Jian Chen sneered, "Do you or the newly appointed regent of the empire think that I have the means to accommodate such a large number of people in a hurry?" Do you think I have the means to carry out a great migration with such a large number of people? ”

Catherine looked at Jian Chen fixedly: "Do you think the empire will care about whether you can settle these aliens now?" They are just using this opportunity and this excuse to drive the aliens out of the Empire, and if I'm not mistaken, the Empire wants to use the sheer numbers of these aliens and our compassion to consume our supplies, and if you or I can mess with these aliens and destroy ourselves, I'm afraid they won't be happy! What's more, doing so will also prevent racial unrest within the empire in the future! It's a win-win-win-win for them! ”

When Catherine said this, Jian Chen finally understood, and dared to be calculated again.

"They don't worry about this to me, will I join forces with the Elemental Clan to deal with the Empire? And mobile castles, which the empire doesn't want? Jian Chen looked at Catherine in annoyance, feeling extremely angry that he was being used again. You must know that the forces that want to ally with the Elemental Clan now are not only you and the Empire! ”

Catherine smiled faintly and said, "You've made another mistake!" Although the Elemental Clan's mobile castle is very exciting, it does not come to the point where the Empire must get it! Yes is the icing on the cake, it doesn't matter if you don't, although the moving castle is good, but the elementals are not being pressed and beaten by the Kregans? It can be seen that the correct strategy and tactics and a strong army are far more useful than these things! Moreover, with such an important military secret, how could the Elemental Clan casually tell other forces? Besides, it is unknown whether anyone outside of this particular family of technological elements will be able to use it! This is something that not only I know, but also the Empire, and other forces also know, so. If you're trying to blackmail the Empire and me with this, you're in the wrong place! ”

Then Catherine's tone suddenly became stern: "And I want to warn you in advance, if you dare to collude with other forces and do something bad for the empire, I will not let you go first!" The situation has developed so far, it is already very clear, whether other forces intend to be enemies of the Empire or not, they will not make a move at this time, because the Empire has already shown enough strength to shock them, and they will not act rashly until they are sure of victory! What's more, there is a holy alliance behind the empire! If you want to borrow their power, I can only say that you are true every day! What they want. It's just to get on good terms with the elemental clan and see if you can get some extra benefits out of it! Their fundamental purpose is to destroy the alliance that the empire and the Yuan and Su tribes may reach, so that the empire will not get a strong ally because of this, but they will simply add a powerful enemy! And you're just a pawn they use! Do you think they'll still be on your side when you're out of effect? ”

"Chen Yao, let me ask you again, if you would like to come back to help me, my promise is still valid. Help me end this war, help the Empire defeat both the Krigan and the Elementals, and then go back to Enloth with me! Roland has promised me that he will reuse you! In Enlos, you will have a better development! A few of your cronies can leave with you, too! Ignore these aliens! I know very well that the reason why you have come to this point today is not because you want to, but because the situation is forcing you! It's too late to turn back! Don't make any more unrealistic demands! Don't use excuses like this to delay me and keep me in touch with the elementals! It won't do you any good if it goes on like this! Playing with fire** doesn't taste good! There is a limit to both the Empire and my patience! Forge the previous covenant between the Elementals and the Empire as soon as possible. That's what you should do now! ”

Looking at Catherine's blazing gaze, Jian Chen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Could it really be that as Catherine said, she overestimated the weight of the elemental race in the eyes of the other forces?

Or was Catherine really just bluffing? She was actually worried that she would really do something bad for the Empire? (To be continued)
