Chapter 244: The Migration Begins
Chapter 244: The Migration Begins
Jian Chen didn't know what Morriel was planning after learning the latest information about the dwarves, and he was busy with his first migration.
The arrival of the dwarves made Chen Jian decide to adjust his plan, the first relocation team is now basically composed of the Hammondale army, dwarven warriors, dwarven engineering team and necessary logistics support personnel, their first task is to sweep away the undead creatures entrenched in the local area, to provide a safe environment for the subsequent migration operations, and at the same time, the dwarven engineering team that set off with a large amount of supplies will be responsible for the infrastructure construction of the new territory.
This time, the Hammondales and the Hill Dwarves worked together.
The beautiful angel Esreina and ten archangel warriors also joined the first batch of migration operations, they are the observation team sent by Catherine, and Esreina also has her own little abacus.
Chen Jian is not worried about the actions of these archangels, because according to Tren, although the Evermont Islands are still within the territory of the Elasia continent, the distance between them and the mainland is quite far, it is an archipelago isolated overseas, and the sea area is filled with fog all year round, there is no need to worry that the angels of Esreina will try to leave with their strong physical strength and flying ability, without a ship, even if it is a dragon, it is impossible to fly over the vast sea from the Evermont Islands and return to the continent of Erathia.
As long as they were careful not to give away the local place name, the angels would not have discovered that the place where they had stayed was the legendary Evermont Islands and not an archipelago of the Jadami continent as Tren had said.
Therefore, Chen Jian gave a gag order to all the half-elf Pete and others who knew about it, and when he called the Evermont Islands, he also used his new name.
Out of affection for Harmmondale, Chen Jian gave the Evermont Islands a new name as "New Harmondale".
On the third day after Tren's return, all the preparations were finally completed, and the migration began.
The Magic Portal, located in a plaza in the heart of Hammondal, attracted the attention of all Hammondales on this day, whether it was the human lords who had lived here for generations, the alien realms who had moved later, or the alien refugees who had just joined Hammondale for a short time, all of them were concerned about the development of this matter, after all, this matter is closely related to their future.
But to everyone's disappointment, Jian Chen issued martial law, except for the relevant personnel, no one is allowed to approach the warning area he has designated around the magic portal, and the violators will be killed on the spot.
The reason why he did this was due to security considerations, and Jian Chen didn't want anyone to sabotage his actions during the teleportation process.
At the same time, in order to prevent discontent among the people, Jian Chen had already arranged for Robert to control public opinion.
The army that Catherine had sent to Jian Chen was of course also used by Jian Chen, who joined the remaining Hammondale army and the dwarven soldiers sent by Hesfar to serve as escorts for this migration.
But what made Chen Jian more unhappy was that this imperial team of nearly 10,000 people was not so convinced by himself, the new commander, and if it weren't for Catherine's order to press them, they might not be willing to obey Chen Jian's command.
Catherine also thought of this, so this time the person in charge of assisting Jian Chen in commanding this army was Jian Chen's old acquaintance, the former high priest of the empire, Ryan.
The reason why these two words are used is because these high-ranking generals who still follow Catherine have now been relieved of all their positions by the Imperial side, and now their status is only Catherine's followers.
For this dual-line magic master to choose such a path, Chen Jian was very embarrassed, once upon a time, the other party was a figure he looked up to, but now he has become his deputy in command of this emperor team.
And Ryan himself doesn't seem to be very satisfied with Catherine's arrangement, but his loyalty to Catherine is unquestionable, so he still obeys Catherine's will, and he also understands Jian Chen's ability, so so far, Jian Chen can still make orders and forbiddens this army.
But it is obviously not an easy task to get this army to identify with Chen Jian and become a force that can be relied on in Chen Jian's hands.
"Erwin, you have to do a good job when you get there, I have high expectations for you!" Handing over a small box to the earth-based expert magician who had defected from the Bairders bandit group, Jian Chen said.
Elwin's eyes moistened with the lord's actions and words.
He knew what was in this small box, it was the magical treasure that all earth magicians dreamed ofβthe earth magic ball, with the amplification effect of this treasure, the magic cast by him, a small earth magic expert, could also have the power that only a master magician could have.
As an inconspicuous wandering magician who had been a bandit, Erwin never imagined that he would be so valued by his lord.
"Lord, don't worry, I won't let you down!" Erwin took the small box, carefully put it away, and then patted his chest and assured Jian Chen.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the military operation in the Evermont Islands, Chen Jian, in addition to the female magician and Tren, sent all the magic power in his hands, the magician team composed of robber magicians, to Pete, hoping to help Pete.
And Erwin, who can improve his strength through earth-based magic balls, is the trump card in this magician team.
After that, Jian Chen walked in front of the half-elf Pete and the big-eared monster Orison, and handed them a magic letter teleportation array, which was not easy to buy on the market, but Chen Jian, who had always been prepared for a rainy day, still got a few sets in his hand through those merchants who traveled from south to north early.
"Pete, Orison, I'll leave it to you this time, and when you get there, I'll write to you as soon as the situation allows! If you have any difficulties, let me know and I will try my best to solve them! Hopefully things will go well so we can meet sooner! Chen Jian's advice was a bit like a father who sent his child out.
The half-elf and the big-eared monster are high-spirited and take on great responsibilities for the first time, but these two guys are not timid at all, but eager to try.
Among them, Orison was even more excited, in his opinion, this operation was a good sign that Jian Chen's power began to rise: "Lord Lord, don't worry, don't forget, I'm a big-eared monster from Diya, I've seen a lot of undead creatures, and they're not so scary!" I have a way to deal with them! β
On the other side, the dwarven king Hesfa was also tirelessly talking to the dwarves who were about to set off with Pete and the others.
Since almost all of the high-ranking dwarven generals were killed, this time, the reconstituted dwarven army was led by Marchem.
Originally, Jian Chen did not agree to let this powerful dwarven magic master leave in the first batch, because his magic power could help Tren a lot in the process of teleportation and prolong the time of the portal, but what made him helpless was that Hesfa did not have other suitable candidates in his hands, and Hesfa himself could not leave, and the dwarves stranded in Hammondale needed to be comforted.
Fortunately, Catherine sent Ryan over, with the help of this dual-line magic master, plus the female magician who is recovering quickly, there is finally no problem with the magic supply of the portal.
However, Malchem has a good relationship with the Hammondale people, and he and Pete set off together, and there will be no problems in cooperating, which is also a benefit.
At the same time, Jian Chen also told Pete and Erwin that if necessary, the earth-based magic ball could be lent to Malkaem for temporary use, so that the magic power in this team would be greatly enhanced.
It is also worth mentioning that before the Hammondale army led by Pitt was about to set off, Chen Jian also gave them a speech, in which Chen Jian explained to them how important this operation was to the Hammondales, and what kind of personal relationship it had to themselves and their families.
In this way, he hoped to strengthen the faith of these first-time soldiers and improve the morale of this immature army.
"I hope that when my subjects arrive in the New Hammondale Islands, there will be no more undead creatures on that island that can threaten them! When the time comes, I'll get drunk with everyone! β
Jian Chen ended his speech with these words, and then, amid the sound of Tren's incantations and the enthusiastic cheers of the soldiers, the tall magic portal began to operate.
The blood-boiling Hammondale army, which was instigated by Chen Jian's words, marched neatly and lined up in a neat line, and finally set off.
Watching the team disappear into the portal one by one, Jian Chen finally felt a little relieved.
The team did not pause, partly because the Hammondale Army was well-trained, unlike the dwarven civilians who needed to be guided, and there was no congestion at the exit, and partly because there were no incidents on the other side of the portal.
It seems that the location of the exit chosen by Tren is indeed good.
Sure enough, after only a short while, Jian Chen received a letter from Pete, which was only four words, but it made Jian Chen feel at ease.
In good condition.
The details of the situation will not be known until at least Pete and others have explored the local area, and they are not in a hurry.
The Hammondale Army was followed by the Dwarven heavy infantry formations led by Malkem, and finally the convoys and dwarven engineering teams that carried supplies.
A large number of wheelbarrows appeared in this team, and looking at the piles of materials on these hurried wheelbarrows, Chen Jian was in a good mood.
Esrena took ten archangel warriors, and after saying goodbye to Jian Chen, she also entered the portal.
Although Esrena is gone, the archangel warriors around Jian Chen who are responsible for protecting his safety are increasing unabated, because with Ryan and the others coming, there are nearly twenty archangels, Catherine attaches great importance to Chen Jian's safety, she knows that although Jian Chen has outstanding ability, his own personal strength is really weak.
Moriel, who was watching Jian Chen's every move through a speculum somewhere, looked at the many archangels around Jian Chen, and couldn't help but itch his teeth with hatred: "Damn, where did this coward get so many archangels?" This is in trouble! β
