At the time of recruitment, the construction of the militia camp was also carried out simultaneously, but Allen was completely handed over to the town mayor Appler, who was already ashamed, and worried that Allen would accuse him of Holancest, so after receiving the task, he went all out, almost without Allen worrying about anything, and soon a piece of barracks rose from the ground.

A week later, the conscription in the eastern camp was over, but the conscription was only half complete, and Alan had to go to the western camp again.

The conditions in the camps in the west were much worse than those in the east, and their faith in Isa was not as good as that of refugees from the east, so Alan might have to spend more time. Fortunately, Aple's previous plan has attracted some school-age teenagers to join the militia group, but there are still some people who have not been bewitched by Aple, and these people are also the objects that Allen wants to fight for, and Allen decides to visit this part of the family one by one.

It was only when Alan walked into the camp for the first time, accompanied by Isa and Havic, that Alan realized why the refugees of the Western Tribes were so dissatisfied with the Eastern Settlement, because their living conditions were so poor. Only a small number of people are able to live in full wooden houses, and the rest still live in tents, which are okay for shelter from the wind and rain, but a little bit of protection from the cold. And the camp was very chaotic, the camp was full of beggars, cattle and sheep scurrying in the streets, and the roads were full of excrement, garbage, and stench.

"The conditions have improved a lot, and when we first arrived, we didn't even have a place to shelter from the rain. ”

Ronan, who was beside Alan, explained. Since the last time he recognized Stanny, the boss, he has been waiting for Allen, so when he saw Allen coming over today, he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

"It's going to get better and better in the future!"

Alan said to Isha:

"I asked Kevin to take a portion of the profits from the pharmacy business and solve the housing problem of the refugees in the western tribe first. ”

"I thank you in advance on behalf of the refugees in the western tribe. ”

Isha solemnly gave Alan a salute:

"I said to the refugees in the eastern tribe before, follow the archmage, you will have a good life, and today this sentence also applies to your western tribe. ”

After the salute, Isha turned to the onlookers and announced loudly, some of the refugees kowtowed in thanks, and some of them ran to tell each other the good news, and for a while the people near the camp were boiling, and the voice of "Long live the archmage" spread far away. It took Alan a long time to appease the refugees before he freed up his hands to officially carry out the conscription, but after such a while, the conscription process was extremely smooth, and no matter where Alan went, the refugees took the initiative to send the children out without lobbying.

Standing at the door of an ordinary refugee family, Alan watched as his parents handed over their childish son to Havic, most of whom saw off their sons were mothers, because their fathers were either still fighting the orcs on the steppe or were dead, and the rest were old and weak women and children who were not threatening.

"Son, this is the long sword used by your father, I hope your father has a spirit in heaven and can protect you. ”

This was the fifth family Allen had walked to today, a mother in a shabby robe with tears in her eyes put on her skinny son in leather armor that she had sewn with her own hands, and then handed over a long sword with a tattered outer sheath into her son's hands.

Havic took the long sword from the boy's hand and pulled out the blade, which was rusty, obviously the material of this sword was ordinary, and some years, even if it was polished and could be used, it was by no means a good sword, let alone could not use it to kill the enemy.

Alan felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, he knew that the boy could not escape his obligations, but what he did not understand was why he did not even have a weapon to take advantage of.

"The grassland has a lack of mineral deposits, let alone trees to smelt steel, coupled with the Yuss Empire's strict control of the outflow of weapons, a very important reason why the nomads have been defeated under the attack of the orcs in recent years is the shortage of weapons and equipment, so it is good to have an iron sword. ”

Havic's words explain Allen's doubts.

"Doesn't the mercenary union distribute weapons to the militia?"

Alan asked.

"The union only provides weapons to the mercenary group, and the militia can only raise their own funds. I suggest that we can buy a batch of second-hand weapons from the Mercenary Guild, which is cheap and enough for the refugees. ”

Marlowe, the sheriff who was following Allen, said.

"Let's get back to the weapons. ”

When he said this, Alan remembered Master Thorne, and he didn't know if he had verified the authenticity of the black stone he gave him, and it seemed that he was going to visit the forge on the mountain recently to see if the master had returned.

"Alan, let's go to the next one. ”

Harditch handed the newly recruited boy to Ronan and prepared to move on to the next house, only to find that Alan was still where he was.

"You take this. ”

Alan took a few steps forward, took a handful of gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the mother's hand.

"No, you can't. ”

The mother had never seen so many gold coins, and she was a little flustered, wanting to accept it, but also a little hesitant:

"It's too much. ”

"Take it, ma'am. ”

The boy's mother said no, but at Allen's insistence, she still took the gold coin, clutched it in her palm, and held it tightly.

"Harden, thank you for this kind adult, you must behave well in the militia and not live up to the kindness of the adult to us. ”

The young man's mother had never met such a generous person, and hurriedly pulled her son together to thank Allen.

"Alan, you can't do that. Even though you have money, there are a lot of things like the Harden family, and you can't manage them all. ”

Leaving Harden's house, on the way to another family, Harditch had to remind, he was worried that Alan would be kind and give alms to every poor refugee family, although Alan has money, but I am afraid he will not be able to fill this bottomless pit, after all, there are too many refugee families in the western region who need relief, and the number is even higher than that of the refugees in the eastern region, and the next step is to form a magic school. Training the militia is another huge expense, Alan is already a little overwhelmed, Havic has been following Isha, he is very aware of these situations, so he has to remind Alan to pay attention to the method of relief refugees, this way of directly stuffing gold coins is absolutely not possible.

"I know, but when I see their mother and son, I think of their father who died on the grassland, and I can't ignore them. ”

Havic didn't understand what Alan said, but he couldn't control his pity.

"Out of sight, out of mind. Alan, go back to the barracks first, and leave it to me here. ”

Havic suggested that it was a recruitment trip, and that Havich didn't want to end up on a charity trip.

"Okay!"

Alan sighed, he suddenly found that no matter how good his alchemy was, no matter how profitable the potion business was, he couldn't make everyone on the continent live a good life.
