Chapter 1308: The Great Retreat of Dagong Island
The order for a great retreat, flapped with the wings of the flying messenger, soon spread around the center of Cage Mountain.
It can be said that as long as there are Greykeep forces, this instruction has been implemented to the greatest extent. There was no prevarication, no fooling, and more than half a year was enough time for those nobles to understand Roland Wimbleton's style.
Even they themselves were amazed by the "strength" they showed - those seemingly impossible requirements in the past have been overcome one by one in the case of all-out efforts now, encountering problems, thinking about problems, solving problems, and the same group of people have produced completely different effects under different systems.
Baron Jean-Bette is one of them.
Looking at the busy atmosphere in his mansion, his heart was full of mixed feelings. He had thought that his family was just a small family lacking in ability and ambition, and it was precisely because they did not pose a threat to the Wolf King, or Fangs and the Red Stone Gate that they allowed him to manage Sinking Pond Bay at all times, in order to maintain the delicate balance between the great families.
But now, his bachelor and his men are coordinating the turnover of tens of thousands of people in the port and the dispatch of thousands of ships — although most of them are fishing boats, but even the smallest ones need to dock to be loaded and unloaded. The former is equivalent to the total population of a large inland city, while the latter is even more numerous than the number of merchant ships along the entire coast of Wolfheart.
In normal times, the baron would never think that his family was capable of controlling such a large situation, and if someone mentioned it, he would only think that the other party was either joking, or he simply did not know how complicated the knowledge of management was.
However, Jean Bette found himself underestimating not only his own level, but also the abilities of his people.
As long as there is some hard persecution, supplemented by the right leadership methods and rules and regulations, it turns out that people can be squeezed out of such amazing potential.
At the beginning, he played for Gray Fort more out of a helpless choice, after all, the fate of his wealth was controlled by others, and he couldn't do it. But gradually, he found that he liked the feeling. With a single command, thousands of people will work together to solve the task efficiently and precisely, as if this is the true meaning of power.
Even though he now has several more "superiors" on his head than before, the concept of power in his hands is clearer than in the past—he believes that his subordinates have a similar feeling, as evidenced by their busy but energetic faces.
It is better to lead 10,000 fools than to lead 100 wise people, and this is probably the most profound experience of the baron.
Relying on these systems, which are very different from the "aristocratic school", he can turn people who were not very good in the past into smart people, and how much power can a really smart person exert for him?
Jean Bette now has no doubts that Roland Wimbledon will eventually become the leader of the Four.
- As long as humanity can survive the battle of the divine will.
......
In addition to the busy work of the upper management, the civil society is also in full swing.
This is due to the fact that Grey Fort has made promises and debts in evacuation operations in the past, which has made its announcement have a high prestige. Hearing that the First Army was offering high prices to reward those who transferred soldiers and weapons to the Grey Keep, those who could afford to get a piece of the pie all went into action.
The first to respond were the people who lived by the sea, who had rented horse-drawn carriages and worked professionally in land transportation, and now they all returned to their main business.
Then there are the fishermen. Due to the fact that the First Army offered prices based on the number of people and the weight of materials, and the fact that the strait separating Dagong Island from the land was not wide, let alone sloops, many people moved out their ancestral sampans. There are no sails and oars to use, as long as you can row back and forth between the straits, it is the income of several golden dragons, and anyone will calculate this account.
Therefore, in order to be able to carry more people and materials at a time, there are also a lot of multi-body sampans and tandem sampans modification, even if they are scrapped once or twice out of the sea, it is also very worthwhile.
Except for the requirement that "every ship must be covered with a canopy to protect itself from falling snow", the First Army accepted all other tosses. For a while, the sea was full of large and small ships coming and going, and from a distance it looked like a moving ant.
Of course, the League of Witches is not idle.
The Seagull makes nearly 50 round-trips in a day, making it the most efficient of all vehicles. Lightning and Maisie cooperate with the Sky Knight to patrol the western area of Grand Duke Island to expel the occasional sporadic dinosaurs. The perfect duo of Molel and Hummingbird made the most time-consuming loading and unloading work simple and easy, and it can be said that without their assistance, the terminal throughput of a few port cities alone would not have been able to undertake such a huge migration task.
personnel, weapons, engineering equipment...... The supplies that took weeks to get to Dagong Island were moved in a matter of days, and according to common sense, such a hasty evacuation would almost turn into a rout, and it would be nice to be able to bring people back, but it was inevitable that most of the supplies would be lost. But the facts show that how those things were transported to Dagong Island is basically how they were brought back. Throwing away the abandoned building materials and some insignificant tools, the final loss rate of weapons and ammunition and other materials is less than 10%, and such an astonishing control efficiency allows everyone to once again appreciate the overall strength of Grey Keep.
And just as the evacuation was nearing its end, Sylvie issued the highest level of warning to the command!
There are a lot of devilish traces in the Red Mist Zone!
......
Almost at the same time, Hekzod "saw" the observer through the parasitic eye, and her every move was as clear as if it had suddenly appeared in her mind.
A female awakened with long green hair is also a key target of Ersluk's report - she has a very broad vision and is a strategic threat to the devil, which can only be blocked by the Divine Stone.
It silently remembered the other person's appearance, and then looked away.
This person is in the middle of a heavily guarded city, and getting rid of her is good advice, but it shouldn't be left to it. It is the king's most important general, the king's right-hand man, if there is any damage, it will be an irreparable regret of the race, so there is no reason to take risks personally.
What's more, Hekzod has a more important goal.
According to the Sentinel, humans have been active in the coastal area of Wolf's Heart recently, especially on Dagong Island, and it seems that a large number of ships have been coming in and out recently.
There is no doubt that they will pay dearly for this mistake.
According to the information obtained from the nobles of Eternal Winter, the Grey Keep army is only a few tens of thousands, and if it can swallow the defenders of Grand Duke Island in one go, it will definitely greatly weaken the strength of the human race.
It wants to prove to Nightmare and the other Maharajas that it is the Lord of the Celestial Dome and the Maharaja who can lead the Western Front to victory!
Thinking of this, Hexzodra opened the first twisted door!
