Dressed in alcohol, Stannis was carried by Robert to the central square, and the lord rubbed his eyes vigorously to find a large number of people in front of him.

At this time, the gate of the castle had begun to be encamped, countless tattered tents had been erected, a large number of men, women and children sat weakly on the ground, almost all of them looked skinny, not a single one of them was wearing good clothes, all hung a few strips of rags to cover their shame.

"What's going on?" Stanis's alcohol-dapped brain couldn't judge what was in front of him, could it be that there was an organized army of beggars in this world?

Robert let go of his hand, and Stennis fell to the grass.

"Hey, it hurts!"

But his younger brother turned his back to him and roared excitedly, "Boss, these are refugees! they all came here with a vision of a savior!!

This guy has another attack, and Stannis rubbed his ass and stood up, the pain just now made his drunkenness a little less.

As he walked forward, he was greeted by a man with eyes as if he were the living dead, and it seemed that the refugees were malnourished, most of them were wounded, and in dire health.

Not far away, Maester Romon was standing there, recording something.

"Alright, this is the last one!" the old man muttered to himself, putting away his pen.

The lord walked over and asked curiously, "Master Romone, what are you remembering?"

The old man raised his head and said earnestly, "It's the number, Your Excellency! There are two hundred and thirty-one people here. ”

So many people! Stannis felt a windfall, he didn't expect so many refugees to pour into the territory in one breath, it seemed that he was still too young to give up on himself so easily these days.

"It's two hundred and thirty-two. ”

A capable, strong female voice sounded.

Stannis looked in the direction of the sound and saw a brunette woman with a ponytail, and although her figure was as thin as the other women, she had rolled up her sleeves like a man, and her hands were covered with scars.

"One of them was about to go into labor. The woman smiled, her white teeth showing under her sludge-stained face, "I'm Lucia Antonia, and these are my people." ”

A woman was the leader of the group of refugees?Stannis had to look up at her in front of her.

"Who are you in charge here?" said the woman unceremoniously.

Stannis hurriedly raised his hand, "I, I, I am the lord of this land, in Lower Stanis Justinian. ”

As soon as Lucia heard this name, her expression changed, and she looked at the guy standing in front of her with interest, "It turns out that the Justinian family still has descendants, which is very interesting, another real dragon." ”

Normally, people in the Kingdom of Tanis would exclaim 'Dragon-Breaker' when they hear Stannis's name, but this woman looks completely different.

"You're not refugees from Tanis?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, "We're from Elisses. ”

The birthplace of the family of Elisses Justinian, although his territory was adjacent to this ancient empire, it was separated by a large area of the Black Forest in the middle, which basically cut off communication.

"Did you come here through the forest?" he asked, incredulously.

The woman shook her head, "No, although our original plan was to walk through the forest, something terrible happened as soon as we entered the forest, and my father died. These are his people, and as his daughter, I can only lead them on. But the forest could no longer be walked, so we made a long journey north to bypass the Black Forest, climb over the Broken Ridge Mountains, and cross a large wilderness before we came here. ”

Stannis was dizzy when he heard this difficult journey, it turned out that these people had gone through such a difficult journey, no wonder they had become like this now.

"There were five hundred of us when we set out, but we didn't expect to get here with only two hundred and thirty-two. Lucia lowered her eyes, and Stannis could sense the guilt and sadness in her.

But he still asked, "Why did you come here from distant Alysses when the losses were so great, and what happened to your homeland?"

Lucia shook her head slightly, and Stannis didn't want to force it.

"Don't worry, now that you're here, you don't have to worry about it, we can provide food, shelter, and medical care, Master Romone, call Brother Romney, I see that there are many people here who are in urgent need of treatment. Stennis gave orders with a straight face.

But Lucia interrupted him, "Did you say the gray-robed monk, as soon as we settled down, he came over and offered to help, and he has already healed several people." ”

This was not his expectation, but when you think about it, it is also in keeping with the monk's status as a doctor.

"Then I'll pull two carts of grain to solve your food problem first. ”

"There's no need for this, a chef in your territory has already set up a big pot to cook porridge, and intimately told us to eat some liquid food first if we are hungry for a long time. ”

She was referring to Cook, but she didn't expect this guy to come to help with his business.

"Then the place where you live has to be solved, I'll let ......"

"It's not a hassle, two officers and an engineer just came and said they would help us build some improvised shelters for the old and the young to live in first. ”

Sure enough, Stannis noticed that not far away, several wooden houses had already appeared, and Kanye, Speer, and Batesmore were banging and beating with a group of soldiers.

It turned out that his subordinates were so enthusiastic and did all the good things, and Stannis really underestimated them.

"Now that they're done, it doesn't seem like there's anything left to me as a lord. Stannis said embarrassedly, "Then you can stay, I can provide you with land, funds, seeds, and three years of exemption from field tax, how about it?"

Lucia grimaced, and Stannis could tell that she was tired of her wandering life, but there was something difficult for her to decide.

It was Robert who waved at Stannis in a panic, looking urgent.

"Wait a minute. He apologized to the woman and walked over to his younger brother

"What's wrong? ”

Robert looked flustered, he glanced around to make sure no one noticed him, and then deliberately lowered his voice.

"I just saw that there are weapons hidden under the caravan that the gang brought. ”

"Weapons?" Stannis was shocked, "are you sure?"

Robert nodded affirmatively, "How could I lie to you, how could I admit a mistake in such a thing as a weapon." ”

The lord turned his head, Lucia was busy taking care of her people, they weren't pretending to be refugees and coming to a Trojan horse, right?

But this group of refugees is indeed very strange, why have they left their homes, and what are they afraid of?
