44. Cantonment plan

Lunch consisted of pumpkin porridge and white steamed buns, plus a serving of canned beef.

When Lu Cheng was discussing supplies with the research base, he found that the energy needed to compress the biscuits was not as good as changing a bag of white steamed buns, which can sometimes really be used for bricks.

At present, there are about 1,600 refugees in the castle camp, they are of all classes, most of them are lightly wounded, and about 100 are seriously injured, and there have been no fatalities so far.

But some of the 1,600 people were hiding in the castle and did not want to come out, and they were probably hesitant to escape through the secret passage of the castle.

But the royal city is a huge treasure trove for many people, and the people in it are empty, but their property is still left, which is simply a carnival of scavengers.

Lu Cheng was not interested, and Lu Cheng was now debating with the others where to set up camp.

"There is a mountain range on the west side of this outpost, and the terrain below the mountain range is flat, near a river here, in a neutral zone where no country belongs, and I think it is the most suitable place to camp."

Lu Cheng took out the map that General Hubert had given him earlier, and the map showed that Scarley's border had shrunk again, and the border was about to shrink to the location of Hui Sun City.

"We've already scouted in advance, and the surroundings are safe, and if you drive from here to this clearing, you can reach it in less than a day."

"But we're going to transport refugees, are you sure you want to take them all with you, Captain?"

A soldier wearing rimless glasses asks Lu Cheng, his name is Li Jin... The deputy commander of the independent battalion is theoretically an old acquaintance with Lucheng.

The soldiers of the entire camp basically call Lu Cheng the captain, although it is a battalion weaving, but in essence this is still a pioneer team.

"Have you ever heard of such an indicator as the happiness of residents?" Lu Cheng suddenly popped out this sentence in the face of this inquiry.

There were five men in the command, and they were in charge of the various companies in the separate battalion, but everyone fell silent when they heard Lu Cheng's question.

"Rich and strong..."

The only original member of the pioneer team among these people, that is, Kite, suddenly burst out of a series of familiar words.

His hand wound has not healed yet, and he is hanging a bandage on...

"Let me think about how I can explain to you that I've found the source of the energy that the portal needs." Lu Cheng showed the Saint Crystal on the back of his hand to everyone present.

Lu Cheng directly explained the source of the portal's energy to everyone present.

"I've reported this to the research base, and the decision is to bring refugees who are willing to follow us if possible." Lu Cheng replied, "The vehicle side is preparing, the invasion of the Blood Crystal Beast will gradually decline after this peak, but don't take it lightly, go and prepare the materials for transfer now." ”

"Roger!"

After Lu Cheng's order was given, he also stepped out of the tent that served as a temporary headquarters.

There was already the smell of pumpkin porridge outside, and Lu Cheng quickly found Nuoyi, who was eating steamed buns on a small bench, and a groundhog munching watermelon next to it.

"I thought you had snuck away." Lu Cheng came to the groundhog and said.

"What?"

Charlotte looked up at Lu Cheng's voice, and after suddenly realizing her poor eating appearance, she wiped the watermelon seeds on both sides of her cheek with her little paws.

"How long are you going to imprison me?" Charlotte finished wiping her face, looked up, and continued to ask Lu Cheng aggressively.

She was locked up on Pioneer 2 all night yesterday, saying that it was for safety reasons, and that she was fed water and watermelons by the pictorial.

So she didn't see the Blood Crystal Beast Annihilation Battle last night, but when she was sleeping, there was a roar everywhere that made her unable to do it.

When she woke up this morning, she was able to get away from Pioneer II, and then she noticed that there were a lot of people around her who were dressed like Lucheng.

"Well, you can leave now, I don't restrict your freedom anymore." Lu Cheng said to the marmot lady very badly.

"I... I've decided to follow you anyway! Charlotte is not stupid, relying on the little paws of this groundhog, she probably won't be able to return to the kingdom of Xiu Enzhelai until she dies.

Now it's better to follow Lucheng first, at least there is watermelon to eat at every meal.

"Then you have to remember not to get too far away from Noi, so as not to be caught by someone and sliced." Lu Cheng said.

The rabbits have now sheltered so many refugees, and there is no shortage of talking groundhogs.

"What does slice mean? Feed! Feed! When Charlotte wanted to continue to ask Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng was already far away.

At the gates of the castle, General Hubert and Elena caught the attention of Lucheng.

"Your Majesty Elena! You are a being recognized by the Crystallized Spirits! Only you are eligible to inherit the throne of Scarley! ”

General Hubert had already knelt down in front of Elena because Elena had told him about his desire to give up the throne to someone else.

Joining General Hubert on his knees were the last remaining soldiers of Scalley, including the young General Rick.

"But I may not be able to govern the country well." Elena looked a little embarrassed.

"As long as it is your Majesty's decision, we are willing to follow it."

General Hubert made such a decision ... It was completely because he saw through the character of the remaining heirs, and Elena's two sisters would turn out worse than Elena's if they inherited, and the eldest of the three newborn sisters was no more than ten years old.

As for the eldest prince, he was already a traitor in Hubert's eyes.

If you are not good at governing the country, you can learn, but a character like Elena is what General Hubert values the most.

"That's... I want to learn from them for a while. ”

Elena is really not very good at rejecting people, and the Crystallized Spirit has made her the ruler of the country.

"Studying?" General Hubert looked up at Lu Cheng who was standing on the side, and Lu Cheng waved his hand lightly at Hubert.

"Your Majesty, are they willing to share their knowledge with us?" General Hubert immediately asked.

"They say accept people who are willing to create wealth with their own hands... And they said they were willing to shelter a group of refugees who were willing to follow them before the end of the winter, which I thought was a good learning opportunity. ”

The reason given by Elena for studying also considered for a while, and there were many factors to consider, partly because Elena was very concerned about the living conditions of the refugees after they arrived there, and partly because Elena really wanted to learn how to drive a vehicle.

But this is a very precious opportunity in Hubert's eyes!

"You're going to leave the royal city for a while, and we're willing to follow, but the royal city could be overrun by thieves and robbers."

General Hubert was a little helpless when he said this, they didn't even have the manpower to manage law and order now, and most of the soldiers had already been taken away by those nobles.

"Does my sister still have nobles? They're not thieves, a lot of property in this city is theirs, hmm... The throne they can really give if they want..."

"Your Majesty Elena." General Hubert was very resolute in this matter: "You are the rightful heir of Scarley!" ”

"May I interject, as long as this bird follows Elena, she will be the king of Scarreh wherever she goes, what are you worried about?"

Lu Cheng came to the two generals and a group of soldiers with the colorful bird in his arms.

According to the rules of this world, only those who are recognized by the core of the leyline crystallization can become kings, and even if those nobles rebel, it is estimated that only by killing Elena can they inherit justifiably.

Lu Cheng's fair words made the two generals look at each other, as if to say, 'It seems to be such a truth.' ’

"I am willing to follow Your Majesty!" After General Hubert took the lead in shouting this sentence, the soldiers who followed him also gave this answer.
