413 War of the Dead, the "Kingdom of God" of Shadow City immigrants

"Comrade Stan, what you are facing now is Asuna, the chief commissioner of civil security", the girl slapped away Stan's hand held to her waist, raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "It's not your Asuna!"

Stan said with a bitter face, "I thought you were here to greet me, but you haven't gotten off work yet?"

"Yes, Comrade Asuna!"

It was dark at night, and in the northwest of Beta City, a large area of warehouse-style buildings was still brightly lit in the area where the "Migrant Study Class" was originally located.

Stan accompanies Asuna in a horse-drawn carriage on the avenue that connects all the buildings. The noise of people coming from the building outweighed even the movement in the adventurer's area.

"The immigrants from Shadow City are not very accustomed during the day, they are all wilted, and they are in good spirits at night", Stan sighed, "The manpower problem you mentioned is also very prominent in my place." The number of migrants has exceeded 60,000, and the camps here are almost overcrowded, and the resettlement area to the west must continue to expand. ”

"The infrastructure regiment is busy with military facilities, so it can only mobilize the citizens of Beta City and issue urban construction tasks to adventurers, and a lot of people have to be arranged to manage that stall. The camps here, each barracks have more than 3,000 people, and only a few dozen members of the Fee Communist Party take care of them, and the specific affairs are all dependent on the citizens, and there is no energy to develop the organization. ”

"The method of selecting people from the management objects to assist in management is not easy to use on the immigrants of Shadow City. They come from the same place and know each other well, which not only does not play a positive role, but also causes more conflict. ”

The barracks here are similar to farm buildings, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, with one basement and three floors above ground, similar to the layout of military barracks and even prisons, each of which can accommodate three or four thousand people.

Asuna listened to the voices in the barracks for a moment and praised, "The immigrants are very happy, you have done a good job." ”

Stan smiled: "I just strictly implement the decisions made at the immigration work conference, which is the credit of the cardinal and everyone. ”

After returning from the Storm Islands, Richie took immigration affairs as a matter of vital importance, held more than a dozen meetings, and drew up very detailed management methods.

In order to convert the Shadow City immigrants into the Fikli-Cong people, they would receive a more rigorous education than the original slaves and would have to spend a month in a makeshift camp.

Introduce the situation on the mainland, the current situation of the Divine Plateau, and learn the necessary language and writing. On this basis, we should learn in detail about the "Crimson Decree" implemented by the Fei Gong on the Shenyuan Plateau, understand the arrangements and expectations of the Fei Gong for them, and what kind of life they will live in the future, all of which run through the ideological education of "five stresses and four beauties".

All immigrants have been disconnected here, erased their former identity labels in Shadow City, and even families have been torn apart. With the exception of children under the age of six, who are accompanied by their mothers and placed in special areas, the rest of the group lives in a communal life of 20 people in a room according to age and gender.

Stan sighed again: "It's a pity that the war disrupted a lot of plans, and we had to let the immigrants receive education and contribute to the war at the same time, which made the mental situation of the immigrants unstable. Now they are generally stable, thanks to the fact that they do not have to worry about food and clothing, as well as the propaganda work presided over by Cardinal Aurora. ”

"It boils down to the yearning for the future life," Asuna said, nodding her head, "If the war was tense and the pressure was transmitted to them, there wouldn't be so much laughter." ”

"If you want to talk about pressure, there is a lot of it now, Asuna, you said this, it's a new pressure," said Stan, "The Legion Committee and the Infrastructure Construction Regiment have already drawn a lot of people from the immigrants, and the Magic Working Committee has also handed over a lot of production work to the immigrants. Including the assistants, they are now all handmade by immigrants, and many immigrants are still busy in small factories in the basement. ”

Asuna suddenly said: "No wonder Artur suggested that I come to you, it turns out that he has already done so." ”

"It's just doing some manual work, not going to war, and the pressure on them is limited," Stan said. Many people are still very welcome, but they are still worried that they will not be able to earn red coins, and after completing their education, they will not be able to live the good life they want. ”

Then he was a little worried: "Soldiers and citizens are earning contribution points, adventurers are earning adventure points, and the red coins earned by immigrants are tied to adventure points. Both points have swelled to the level of 10 million, and when this war ends, it will definitely break 100 million, how to fill this big hole when the time comes. ”

"This is a headache for the cardinal and the NDRC," Asuna comforted, "and as long as this war can be won, everything is easy to say." ”

"Well, I'm a little pessimistic," Stan said excitedly, "then, Commissioner Asuna, let's go to the immigration service center and arrange your affairs." ”

The carriage headed for the barracks at the end of the avenue, which was still very busy, even though it was night. Citizens are busy all night preparing food, clothing and household items for the migrants, as well as treating the sick. At the same time, the images transmitted by the cameras are vigilantly monitored for the movement of each barracks.

Outside the service center, there are also quite a few people busy. Inspect barracks buildings, fluorite lamps, roads, wells, or patrol the security of the civilian soldiers who have been transferred from Hadron and the Redstone Kingdoms as part of the camp.

..................

On the third floor of the No. 13 immigration barracks, hundreds of people sat on benches in the hall, watching intently at the changing brilliance of the mirage screen on the wall, exclaiming or cheering from time to time.

A middle-aged man walked into the hall with his footsteps, and saw that his favorite position was sitting, and he was the one who was the most unaccustomed to it, so he kicked the leg of the stool with anger: "This is my seat, don't you see the sticker?"

The thin young man turned his head and sneered, "Is the sticker yours......? Captain?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and looked fierce: "Hassan, did you come here on purpose to find fault?"

The young man named Hassan also had anger in his eyes: "If you steal everyone's red coins, don't you find fault with me?"

"Who gave a small report to the counselor, saying that I was going to do sabotage with others?"

"Isn't it? I want to be an assistant counselor but I don't succeed, and I want to pull people to do some kind of autonomy, isn't this a violation of the camp rules?"

"Between us, who is born to wreak?"

"This is not Shadow City, don't try to ride on my head again!"

The two quarreled again as usual, and the person next to them was angry: "Quiet!"

The exclamation sounded, and the two of them snorted coldly at the same time, then turned their heads to look at the screen, and gasped at the same time.

On the screen, a suffocatingly large bug bursts through the ground, opening its mouth and screaming.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly extremely calm, and someone muttered: "There is such a terrible monster in this place......"

Countless fireballs and streams of light enveloped the insects, and the insects' heads were juicy from the dense bullets, and the carapace flew apart, and the people cheered loudly.

Watching a mirage is a favorite pastime for immigrants, and most people spend their free time outside of class, work, eating, and sleeping.

The Finn news broadcast of the Crimson News Agency, the travel experience of the Divine Fall Plateau, and various programs produced by the well-known "Phantom Guest" are broadcast all day long from morning to night. There will even be some fantasy dramas late at night, and in addition to the classic ones, there are many new shows.

For example, the recent drama "The Story of the Bandits on the Fallen Plateau" is very popular with everyone. For the immigrants who have lived in the Shadow City all their lives, seeing evil beings like lichs, apothecaries, arcanists, blood killers, and even psychic monsters hiding in disarray under the power of justice greatly satisfies their thirst for the light of justice and goodness.

Of course, everyone's favorite thing to watch is the news broadcast, after all, this is their new home, everything that happens on this land, whether it is good or bad, immigrants do not want to miss it, and the broadcast of the Crimson News Agency far exceeds their needs.

The "tide of the dead" is happening here, and they can see the latest battle situation. The new home that Beta City built for them is also broadcasting the progress every day. All kinds of laws and regulations related to them also make them understand what not to do when they are looking forward to a new life.

Just watching the beautiful announcer narrate with a sweet voice is a great pleasure for many people. Among them, the announcer in red clothes and red hats, named Xiaohong, is even more loved by everyone.

The bugs fell, and before people had time to taste the aftertaste of victory, the picture suddenly changed. Stan, the lord of Beta City and the chief member of the Immigration Committee, appears.

The hall was full of boos, and even Jennier and Hassan made disgruntled voices at the same time, but no one got up to leave. Everyone knew that the city lord must have reported news related to them.

The Magic Committee will open the technical information of the low-level magic circle, and welcome immigrants to design and manufacture magic machinery that can be used in food processing and other aspects to facilitate life, and the Migration Management Committee will help everyone promote the product.

There are not many people in the hall who know how to guide the magic machine, and this news did not resonate with many people, everyone waved their fists and stomped their feet and shouted: "We want to watch the news/fantasy drama/Xiaohong!"

Hassan's expression became heavy, and he got up and went to the wine station in the corner of the hall.

Food, clothing, and various daily necessities are free for immigrants, and they can also earn red coins through various labor projects. On each floor of each barracks there is a service unit selling beer, snacks and all kinds of gadgets to meet the needs of immigrants beyond the basics.

Hassan asked for a rye beer, pulled out a copper coin engraved with a smiling five-pointed star, and handed it to the bartender, a "red coin" for immigrants that circulated only in the camp.

I went to the window in the corner of the hall with my glass and looked out at the night, the mellow and rich beer flowed into my stomach through my throat, and then turned into a long sigh.

"If you're afraid of death, just say it", Jennier walked over with a wine glass and sarcastically said, "It's like someone stopped you from being a soldier." ”

Then he maliciously instigated: "Are you dissatisfied with the environment here? Then run away, with your ability, you can do it casually, don't tell me that you only stayed for free food and lodging." ”

The immigrant camp was not a prison, and although it was not free to enter, the administrators often took them to visit Beta City or go out to participate in various labors, and there was no strong sense of confinement here.

For civilians, as long as they stay up for a month, they will have a house, a job, and a bright future. What's more, there is free accommodation here, and the conditions are good in all aspects. There is nothing unbearable except that you have to act collectively in everything and listen to people's nagging every day.

So far, not many people have run away without permission. Of course, the person who tried to escape was confined for the first time, and the second time he was removed, and he became a wanderer who was not at all in the Divine Fall Plateau, and such a fate was enough to wake everyone up.

Transcendents other than civilians are treated differently. You can choose to join a clan or a support department and start earning contribution points directly. If he runs away, he will become a wanted person, and the Fei Communist Party will suspect that he has done something bad and try to evade the trial.

Hassan is a Level 2 Nightfall Killer who was exposed when he entered the camp for identity checks, but the camp didn't force him to make a choice, and now he's still hanging out with civilians.

"The people of the Night Society are never afraid of death", Hassan said in a low voice, "I am afraid of dying without knowing why." ”

Jeniel's expression changed slightly, and his tone softened: "Sounds like you're also suspicious of Duke Prell?"

Hassan chuckled and said, "Eat for free, live for free, and give you a house in the future, is this the kingdom of God?"

"Even if it is the kingdom of God, those who pray must contribute their faith", Jennier rarely agreed with Hassan, "but the duke did not ask us to do anything." ”

Speaking of this, Hassan temporarily put aside his grudge against his old enemy: "Rumor has it that the undead tide is not simple, and the duke is at war with an undead monarch. ”

Jenir and Hassan had a tacit understanding: "You suspect that the Duke is thinking of us as the future...... Sacrifice, first raise us to be fat for nothing?"

He said curiously: "Since you think so, why don't you join the legion and go to the battlefield to find the truth?"

"I ...... Here, there are still people to protect", Hassan lowered his eyes, a figure passing through his mind.

"I want to protect everyone, too!"

Jenir sighed, "But the Duke has broken us apart and won't let us manage ourselves. It seems that there will be a lot of prejudice against the dawn, and the more you think about it, the more terrible it becomes. ”

"It's useless to think so much, let's take one step at a time", Hassan said depressedly: "Many people from our Dark Night Society are already on the front line, and occasionally I see them, and their mouths are full of our squad, our squadron. Speaking of Shadow City, impatience seems to be a shameful thing. ”

Jenir uttered Hassan's unspoken words: "If something happens to the people of Shadow City, they are probably the most active among the soldiers who have suppressed it. ”

Hassan said faintly, "Before stepping into the portal, I thought of many possibilities. The treatment is now beyond the best I expected, but this is what makes me even more scared. ”

"I don't think it's that good," Jeniel's face sank, "especially if I live in the same room as you." ”

Hassan was about to fight back when footsteps rang out, and the third-floor counselor walked into the hall with officers in red uniforms.

The counselor pointed to them and said, "There, Jenir and Hassan, are transcendent. ”

The two of them stared blankly at the officer's approach, and heard the other party say coldly: "Jenir and Hassan, you have been recruited by the Legion Committee, follow me to the station to report immediately!"

The two looked at each other in astonishment, Jenir swallowed his saliva, and said bitterly: "Old, sir, I haven't heard of any forced conscription." ”

The officer was a little impatient, but still maintained a minimum of patience and politeness: "Since you are already a resident of the Divine Fall Plateau and a lord of the Duke, you have the obligation to accept the conscription and defend everyone, have you forgotten the second article of the Crimson Decree?"

"I didn't recruit you before, because I didn't need it yet, so I only accepted volunteers, but now I need it. ”

The full name of the Crimson Decree is the Finn Crimson Community Residents Act, and Article 1 of the Fee-Co-Owners obligation to provide for the livelihood and security of all residents. Article 2 is the obligation of all residents to accept conscription and defend their homes.

Such a clause was superfluous to the mortals on the continent, and the king and nobles had the obligation to defend the lords, and the lords had to provide for the kings and nobles and accept the drive, which was a matter of course.

The people of Shadow City are not used to such "truths", and they have been left to fend for thousands of years.

The officer looked at them with scrutinizing eyes: "You don't think that Fei Gong ...... Duke, do you want to be offered like a noble lord? The duke is fighting on the front line, since you have extraordinary strength, shouldn't you make some contributions?"

Hassan muttered, "I didn't think about it that way......"

As he spoke, he looked at Jenil, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time: we both thought that the Duke was raising us as pigs, and we would kill us when we were fat, but we didn't expect to be killed now.

"Don't cry with a sad face", the officer said angrily: "I didn't let you go to the front line, you cowards are not qualified!"

What's that for?

The two followed the officer nervously, and the civilians in the hall watched them leave with different expressions.

The screen changed, and their attention was instantly pulled away.

""The Story of Bandits" has begun!"

"Is it time to clean up that lich today?"

"Floating ships! I want to see floating ships!"
