The two figures of Gao Liao, who had been covered with snow all year round in the border area of Hammondal, hid behind a boulder, at the foot of the mountain far away from them, almost out of sight. There is an army that is slowly moving.

"Just let them go? When they get to Hammondale and hide in the castle, we won't stand a chance! Cyril was a little unwilling, he and Ryska had taken the Legan army to hide in the mountains around Hammondale at this time, carefully hiding their tracks, and secretly observing the movements of Chen Jian and his party. Seeing that Jian Chen was getting closer and closer to Harmondale City. This fire monster mage was in a hurry.

Ryska smiled and said, "What are you anxious about?" There is no such composure as a magic master at all. I really don't know how you can advance with this kind of character! Let them go, Lord Serren didn't order us to attack at this time! And since we were exposed, the other side has been so heavily guarded. At this time, attacking is not the best opportunity! What's wrong with letting them into the castle? In that kind of place, they will only be more relaxed and less violent. That's a good chance to get started! It's just a castle, and we're all flying troops. You're a fire magic master again! Nothing to worry about! ”

Cyril sighed and stopped talking, of course he knew that Riska had a point, but the situation really made him a little angry.

Seeing him like this, Riska secretly laughed. Shaking his head: "Let's go, we're too close to them this time, in case they find out." That's not interesting! ”

Shortly after the two fire monsters left, a scout team of several envoy warriors surveyed the area, but of course they found nothing, and the traces left by the fire monsters behind the boulder had been carefully disposed of before they left.

A day later, Chen Jian and his party had already entered the Vierning area, and they had already appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the tall Vilning Fort made everyone gasp.

"At this rate, we'll be able to rest in Hammondale Castle tomorrow night!" Chen Jian is in a very good mood, although the current Hammondale is no longer the Hammondale he worked hard to run in the past, and he is not a native of Hammondal, but returning to Hammondale makes him feel like home.

It's just that this feeling goes with the team. But it slowly disappeared, because since the passage of Fort Verning, there had been huge stenching garbage heaps on both sides of the road, and many yellow-skinned alien refugees who had gathered on both sides of the road but were driven away by the soldiers from a distance. The new graves in the field and the more corpses on the ground that were slowly decomposing because no one was handling them made Chen Jian angry.

Now Hammondale has almost become a huge refugee camp.

When I was in contact with Hammondale before. Jian Chen also knew about Hammondal's general situation at this time. It's just that he never imagined that the situation had deteriorated to such a point.

If it is because of the war that caused such a tragic situation, then it is just that, once the success is done, there are not only a large number of soldiers in the bones of this sacrifice. More often than not, the innocent civilians who died in the fighting, but now, there is no war in Hammondal. The reason for the current misery is simply that the current empire rejects the people of these non-human races.

Not only was Jian Chen angry, but everyone in the Hammondale Army was angry, and even Christine and the others had an unbearable look in their eyes.

Only a few people are as blind to all of this as Moriel, because they have seen so much human tragedy and are already insensitive to such situations.

Vikna, who had lost her memory, seemed to be frightened by the tragic situation in front of her, and her face was pale and her head bowed. He didn't dare to look around anymore, but occasionally looked up to see if Jian Chen was still in front of him.

Due to the drive of the soldiers, there would be bursts of cries around the team from time to time, Chen Jian gritted his teeth and watched all this, although he wanted to help these alien refugees, but he also knew that he had no extra ability to help others at this time.

Hammondale had already taken in too many foreign refugees before, these people had to eat and use, and the supplies consumed were not a little bit, and now there were tens of thousands of unexpected imperial soldiers led by Christine and others, as well as the hill dwarves under Horsfa, Chen Jian was actually under great pressure

。

The materials and food obtained from the elven kingdom, according to Kosai's calculations, in order to maintain the food and clothing of such a large number of people, it is necessary to achieve a controlled tightening of clothing and food, otherwise. There is a good chance that the first crops on the Evermont Islands will not survive.

This was only possible under the premise that the halflings and the peasants of a large number of other races had grown a large number of crops with shorter growth cycles on the Evermont Islands, and that the land of the Evermont Islands was unexpectedly fertile. Coupled with the fact that the Hill Dwarves had brought with them a considerable amount of supplies when they fled to Hammondal, the situation eased slightly. Otherwise, the situation will only be more cooperative, and perhaps a stricter compulsory food rationing system will be introduced.

If he relented at this time and accepted these staggering numbers of foreign refugees, I was afraid that the small force in Chen Jian's hands, which had managed to get a little bit of a situation, would immediately collapse due to lack of supplies. One point, Chen Jian knew very well that several high-level figures in Hamon Yier were also helpless, although Chen Jian was angry. The only way to do this was to order the march to speed up and end this unpleasant journey as soon as possible.

Therefore, they returned to Harmondale City earlier than originally expected, and the city of Hammondale at this time was no longer as lively and noisy as before, during the time when Chen Jian was on the road, Hammondale carried out another migration, and all the civilians had been relocated, and now there were only a small number of Hammondale soldiers and a dwarven army led by Horsfar in Hammondale City, they were already the last remaining troops, and they could only hold on to Harmondale Castle at present, and divide their troops to protect the location of the magic portal not far from the castle.

With the deterrence of this army, the area around the castle and the magic portal was relatively calm, but the area of Hammondale City was so large, of course, they couldn't cover everything, so on the outskirts of Hammondale City, those uninhabited houses naturally became a paradise for alien refugees. They struggled to survive in the empty city, using what had been left behind by the previous lords.

The once thriving dwarven foundry has long since ceased operations. Everything they could take away was taken away by the dwarves, it became a paradise for cavemen and refugees, the mines were closed, and the Hammondale Market, once the focus of merchants across the continent, was now overrun by a group of big-eared monsters, lizards and wolf-headed monsters roamed the streets, and goblins rummaged through the garbage heaps for anything they could use.

When the army led by Jian Chen appeared in the city of Hammondal. These alien refugees scattered in panic, they didn't know what was going on, they thought that the Emperor ** team had come to crusade against those riotous guys again, and they were a little strange how the Emperor ** team dared to kill Hammondale City this time, because they had never entered Hammondale City before.

"What a good city has been made of by these guys!" The sorceress looked at the scene in front of her and was annoyed: "Although I sympathize with their plight, I still can't help but hate them!" ”

Jian Chen smiled bitterly: "It's not their fault either, it's the empire that really caused all this, it's Kendall, it's those who drove them to Hammondal!" In fact, if you really want to talk about it, I also have to bear some responsibility for this matter! ”

The sorceress was silent for a moment before whispering, "I kind of understand your thoughts now. It is indeed not a good thing to exclude aliens like the Empire. ”

She looked at the Thor troll soldiers who were guarding around her, and said, "And these aliens are not as terrible as the legend says, after getting along." I found out that they are not much different from human beings except for their appearance and customs, they have the same joys and sorrows as us, yearn for beautiful things, care about their parents, wives and children, and work hard for their ideals, in essence, everyone is the same. ”

Passing through the city of Hammondal, the team soon drove to the front of Hammondale Castle, and everyone who knew that Jian Chen had returned had already opened the castle gate to welcome the return of the lord.

It was not a problem for the new Hammondale Castle to accommodate tens of thousands of troops, so Chen Li naturally arranged everyone in the castle.

After dealing with all this, Jian Chen calmed Vikna again, and then gathered the people who stayed behind in the castle meeting hall.

As the migration was nearing its end, the only people who remained in Hammondale at this time were Polly and Robert, as well as Kedrak and Hesfar. and Tren, the master of water magic.

As soon as he sat down, Jian Chen asked, "How much grain is still in the castle?" ”

Polly, who was in charge of this matter, was stunned for a moment, and replied, "My lord, follow your orders. We've set aside some of the food in the castle, and if nothing happens, it's enough to feed the troops in the castle for a month! ”

Chen Jian asked again: "How many of those alien refugees are outside?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it took a long time for Robert to speak: "My lord, we haven't investigated this, but there have been refugees entering Hammondale for a long time, although many people died in the riot some time ago, but they still have at least five to sixty thousand people, don't you think?"

Jian Chen shook his head: "I just want to see if it's possible, I haven't made a final decision yet!" ”

Robert hurriedly said, "Lord Lord, you must not do this!" We have already taken in more than 100,000 refugees, plus the tens of thousands of people we already had, and the nearly 100,000 people brought by King Hesfa, and the tens of thousands of people you have brought now, all of whom have migrated over, that is, more than 300,000 people. I'm afraid, I'm afraid," Kedrak also stepped out and said, "Your Excellency." Be careful, your idea is good, but we don't have so many supplies at the moment, Pete and the others are just getting a foothold, unless you can get more supplies and food, I'd suggest you give up on this idea! ”

Others also spoke out one after another. Chen Jian was silent.
