Chapter 113: The "Rescue" of the City of Dorez
As time passed, the figure of the city of Dolaiz was getting closer and closer, and now the city of Dolaiz no longer had the peace of the past, thousands of refugees were locked outside the city gates, the torches on the city walls lit up the night sky, and the dim firelight stretched the figures of tired refugees.
"Let us in, why don't you let us in, we're not sick"!
"Please, let's enter"
"At least, at least give us something to eat, my child hasn't eaten for two days".
The refugees who had made the long journey to the city of Doraise were hungry and tired, but they were greeted not by the sympathy and condolences of the people of Dolaiz, but by a closed gate of rejection and indifference.
And the ruthless soldiers with bows and arrows on the walls, who have made it clear that they will shoot any "mob" who dares to close to the gates!
By order of the Minister of the Interior of Dorez, Hutt, the city of Dorez closed all its gates and forbade any mob from entering the city!
"What's going on, why don't you go into the city yet".
At this time, the Knight of Cascasy led the last pair of refugees to the walls of Doraise, and by now, all the refugees who had fled the plague had reached about 20,000 people, and these people wept louder and louder when they saw their only savior, the Knight of Knight Caskassy, appear.
"Lord Knight, Lord Hutt won't let us enter the city"
"Yes, yes, and we've run out of food, and now the whole family is hungry."
"Have pity on us, little Loraya is only five years old............"
Hearing the cries of the refugees, Casser knew what was going on, and he walked to the city gate with all his anger, and questioned Hurt loudly, his voice was as shocking as thunder!
"Hut, you come out for me, I know you're on the city wall, why don't you let the refugees into the city".
Hutt, who was hiding in the castle and was watching the singers perform for fun, clearly heard a sound that could be heard throughout the city walls, and several good nobles around him turned their heads to look at Hurt with a smile, which made the face of the very good-looking interior minister distort for a while.
"Lord Hutt, the knight is waiting for you, don't let the family wait too much."
A middle-aged aristocrat looked at Hurt with a smirk.
"And don't forget to hide that batch of food, these untouchables don't look out to flee, they have a lot of oil and water on them."
Another pot-bellied aristocrat tore off a piece of chicken and mumbled to remind Hurt as he chewed.
"Hmph, I don't need you to remind me, you just need to keep an eye on that bullying Minohorn Chamber of Commerce, and I will naturally take care of other things!"
Hutt glanced at the nobles who were eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, then slapped a nearby singer and turned his head to walk out the door.
The fact that the Knight of Cascasy did not save face in full view of everyone made the resentment in Hurt's heart surge for a while.
In the eyes of the nobles of Dorez City, these refugees are absolutely not allowed to enter the city, not to mention that they themselves have the possibility of contracting diseases, but the relief materials they need to take refuge in the city are astronomical, and these money must not be paid by the nobles.
When the time comes, if any nobleman does not pay for it, it will be an "evil and brutal nobleman", and the adventurers of the Chongshan camp will immediately "act chivalrous and righteous and eliminate harm for the people"! Therefore, in any case, the refugees are a big trouble for the nobles, and they must be stopped outside the city no matter what.
Of course, the idea of the nobles was unacceptable to the righteous stereotypical knight elder, so he did not hesitate to show up to speak for the refugees, even if he was the enemy of the nobles of the whole city of Konora.
"Hut, you are still not a loyal servant of the Hyde family, how can you ignore the 20,000 refugees, have you forgotten the ancient precepts of the Hyde family!"
Seeing that the time was already in the middle of the night, and the weather was getting colder and colder, but many refugees were still enduring the cold wind and waiting for the interior officer of Dolaiz City to give an explanation, Casskaser became more and more angry and anxious, and now, Dolaiz City was the only hope for everyone.
It wasn't until three moons had risen into the air that Hutt finally made it up to the city wall, followed by several guards.
"Knight Chief Cascaser, although I am also worried about the lords, but I have to think about the hundreds of thousands of people in the city and the lord, if a sick person is mixed in, it will be all over, you can't ignore the overall situation!"
Where is Hutt standing on the city wall now, where is there still a grim and cunning appearance, and now he really looks like a tragic hero who does not hesitate to bear infamy for the sake of the overall situation.
But Casser had already seen through his face, and he immediately retorted sternly:
"These refugees have been strictly inspected by the city guards, and they are all healthy and uninfected villagers, and I can vouch for them in the name of knights that they are not in danger, so it will always be okay, right?"
"Elder Knight, it's not that the old minister can't trust you, but this matter is really very important, and the lord has specially ordered that it should be strictly inspected, so you won't ignore the lord's orders!"
"You ............"
Hearing Hurt's shameless speech, Cascasy couldn't help but feel angry, but he finally took a deep breath and resisted the urge to scold, and said almost pleadingly:
"Well, at least we'll have to build a camp with some linen cloth for these people, and we'll need some food to fill our stomachs."
Hearing Hurt carry out the lord, Caskasy was speechless, the lord's order was nominally absolute, no matter how much Keskassy cared about the people, he could not disobey it.
Seeing this scene, Hutt on the city wall couldn't help but sneer secretly, and when the knight chief urgently met the lord, he would find that Gorat, who couldn't resist the temptation, was indulging in two fox-eared maids who had "imported" from the western wasteland, and he would not meet this knight chief who could only preach, and those nobles would unite to work hard.
"The city of Doraise is mine, and your so-called knight chief is actually nothing."
That's what Hurt was thinking at this point.
"But those two fox-eared maids are really expensive."
Hurt bared his teeth in pain, turned and walked down the wall, not even glancing at the disappointed 20,000 refugees.
As a result, with the generous "assistance" of the nobles of the city of Dolez, more than 20,000 homeless refugees were only given more than 2,000 "pieces" of sour rags, and they needed to collect branches by themselves, and then set up simple tents, and finally more than a dozen people lived in the same tent.
The food that was "rescued" in the city of Doraise was dry bread mixed with sawdust, and most importantly, the bread had to be bought by the refugees themselves – at a higher price than white bread.
When Cascaser angrily approached the agricultural officer who was in charge of the grain, the other party actually said in righteous words: There is no bread for nothing, and if you want to eat, you must spend money, which is right.
As a result, with the exception of a few pastors of the Good God Church and a few unafraid of danger who were willing to help the poor refugees, the rest of the people in the city of Dorez were completely unconcerned and high-minded.
Under such circumstances, the refugees had no choice but to set up simple tents, soak some sawdust bread in water, and swallow bitterness.
Birlan and Dichido were asked to set up a refugee camp, but they were given a tent made of thick felt cloth and a meal of white bread specially brought by Casscater.
Bilan snuggled in Dikido's arms, and the bones in her body began to become fragile, but with Dikido's company, Bilan surprisingly did not feel fear or sadness.
"It is estimated that by tomorrow, the people of Dorez City will be able to mobilize enough food to carry out the rescue, and Mr. Cascasur will definitely be able to convince the lord to let the refugees into the city, and the refugee rescue forces in other territories of the Dylan Kingdom are estimated to be on the way, and these people will soon find a new home, certainly, they will all be fine"!
Dikido looked hopefully at the refugees who had collapsed on the ground like walking corpses, and said as if he were comforting himself.
"Yes, you can!"
Seeing through the cruel faces of the nobles, Bilan knew that Dikido's expectations were destined to be naïve fantasies, that no other realm would allow any refugees to enter the country, and that the only thing Doraise would do together was to find a way to get rid of these refugees, but she only opened her mouth and didn't say anything in the end.
