The seventh battalion of the refugee camp.

Derek is taking care of his sister Tata to sleep on the top bunk.

The arrival of winter did not make life easy for him and his sister in Scalley, who shivered with cold every night when she went to bed.

But inside this tent, the temperature was so high that his sister Tata was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

The child's vitality didn't last long, and after Derek covered his sister with the 'luxury' of a quilt, his sister quickly fell into the dream fragrance.

As Derek prepares to sleep in the lower bunk, he suddenly overhears a discussion between father and daughter in the bed next to him.

"Nancy, I've scouted around the camp, and it's right that the ground is soft enough to be cultivated, but it's winter season, and I can't think of any crops that can grow in this season."

Derek didn't interject, he lay down on the bottom bunk with his back to the father and daughter, and listened quietly to their discussion.

"Maybe they have plant seeds that can grow in the cold of winter? The attribute of Scarre's leylines is scorching flames, and the queen of Scarley is also here, so they should have some means to raise the temperature. Nancy said.

"It's... If we can learn how they grow in the winter, or get the seeds that can grow crops in the winter, it really helps our country a lot. ”

The old butler also knew what the winter situation was like in the kingdom of Xiu Enzhelai, and the winter in the Far South was very long... In the depths of winter, villages that are covered in heavy snow can freeze to death or starve to death if they do not store enough food.

Insufficient food storage was also common, as not many farmers could hand over some of their grain to their lords and survive the long winters.

The old butler himself came from a peasant family, but because of his good swordsmanship talent, he won appreciation in the army, and it was not until his hair turned gray that he successfully entered the aristocratic class.

So the old butler knew very well the methods of the nobles to oppress the commoners, and one of them was to deceive the commoners and make a promise that they would never keep.

"I'm going to participate in their reclamation plan today, and if I don't come back in the evening, you must get out of this camp and return home immediately."

The old butler finally chose to compromise, his heart was still full of all kinds of doubts, if it weren't for his identity, he might have directly knocked Nancy out and brought her back to China, but now the old butler could only obey her arrangement.

"They also gave you warm clothes, trust me to be fine." Nancy said.

As Derek listened to the discussion between the father and daughter, his heart was completely enveloped in worry.

Derek also signed up for the reclamation program, and the reason he participated was simple, just to give his sister something to eat.

But Derek also knew the way the nobles deceived slaves and serfs, and it was normal for them to freeze to death if they stayed outside for too long in winter.

But Derek always felt that those who wore green clothes were not quite the same as those nasty nobles, but Derek couldn't say what was different.

Worried about what would happen tomorrow, Derek fell into a deep sleep, and he slept very, very lightly...

The next morning, in a daze, he was suddenly awakened by a sound.

Derek opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, and the two father and daughter on the next bed woke up.

That's the sound of music! Outside the tent, Derek heard music he hadn't heard a few times in his life, who was playing outside!

Derek hurried out of the tent and followed the music all the way to the place where the green-clad men were stationed, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a crimson flag slowly rising with the morning light to the accompaniment of majestic music.

Derek couldn't describe what he saw, the sky was still covered with fine snow, but the soldiers in green were standing in a terrible queue in a clearing.

The only time he had seen such a procession was when the whole army marched through the streets at the wedding of King Scarlet.

But Derek only felt the excitement and luxury of that parade, but Derek looked at the queue in front of him, but he had a solemn sense that almost couldn't make a sound.

Everyone in the queue stood up straight... Hitomi kept her eyes fixed on the slowly rising flag in front of her.

"Nancy, they're in... Abusing your own soldiers? ”

The old butler followed the music to Derek's side, along with his 'daughter' Nancy.

"Abuse?" Nancy looked at the neatly lined up not far away, and didn't understand where the word old butler came from.

"It's still snowing in the sky, and it's so cold now, and they're letting the soldiers stand outside like this, which is not what a good lord should do."

The butler clasped his arms in both hands, and the morning temperature was approaching freezing, and he hurried out of the tent without a coat.

In this weather, so many soldiers were called to stand in the open field ... The old butler really couldn't think of any effect.

"But their commander is also in the ranks."

Nancy held out her hand and pointed to Lucheng at the front of the line, and she had judged that Lucheng was the commander of the team when she was in the city of Scarre.

"Maybe the commander is just a knight?" The butler said with a white breath in his mouth.

Nancy didn't answer her butler again, her gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers in the queue in turn.

Nancy had carefully observed these soldiers during her time in the royal city of Scarre, and the biggest difference between them and the knights trained by the various kingdoms was the color of their skin.

All of the soldiers present had an almost dark brown complexion, which was not their original skin color... It's the color of your skin after being sunburned.

If it were one or two people, Nancy could also be attributed to the fact that this people love to bask in the sun, but every soldier Nancy sees is of this skin color... Suffice it to say a thing.

They did not stand under the sun in such a neat queue at once, but hundreds, if not thousands.

This is true for every soldier, including commanders in the army.

What is the reason for this? Raise your mana level?

Nancy couldn't figure it out, but she noticed a sight on the other side of the camp, where a group of refugees had gathered around a strange steel golem.

Originally, Nancy came here in the Iron Golem, and the ride was not a good experience... Nancy spit up all the food she ate after getting out of the car.

The old butler even mistook Nancy's violent physical reaction for some terrible curse, but fortunately, Nancy quickly recovered her physical condition after getting out of the car.

But this encounter left a very deep psychological shadow on this steel golem by Nancy and the old butler.

Beside the Iron Golem stood a soldier of the Knight of Scarlet, who saw a group of curious people surrounding him, and the soldier of Scarley cleared his throat when he saw that there were almost no more of them.

"They have committed robbery, theft, and many other crimes for the assault on the granary last night, and Queen Elena of Scarley has decided to send them back to the prison in the royal capital for trial!" He loudly announced to the onlookers the crimes committed by the refugees next to him last night.

"Are the refugees here still Scalley's nationals?" Nancy received a crucial message from the knight's sentence, and thinking of this, Nancy said to the old butler beside her, "It's time to complete your mission, father." ”

"Why are you so eager?" The old butler asked.

"The queen of Scarley is also here, and the generals of their country are also involved in the reclamation project, do you think their queen is here just to find a place to sleep?" Nancy's voice finally took on a hint of command.
