The day after Edward and the others returned, the first refugees were welcomed in Free City, and Legolas and Ania, who were in charge of leading the refugees, quickly settled them in the neighborhood of Free City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of these refugees, dressed in shabby peasant clothes, are free people from the northern frontier of the kingdom of Okasre, who have long lived between the Orc Empire and Austria, and have relied on hunting and herding for their livelihood. Today, when the situation between Austria and the Orc Empire is tense, they are led by Nataya to take refuge in the free city of the Forgotten Lands in order to escape the war.

What they didn't expect was that in this icy and snowy land, there was such a warm climate and well-equipped city. And as soon as they arrived, they had comfortable stone houses, and each family was allocated some farmland. This made them quickly like the fact that the managers were kind and the laws were not strict. Compared to the chaotic frontier homeland, this is a paradise.

Here, they only need to follow the will of the Demon Hunter Paladin, and they can work and live well, and all they have to pay is a little food tax, and the defense service they deserve.

Among the 1,000 refugees were some sturdy Highland Hunters, who were soon recruited by Barney's Freikorn and trained as members of the first Witcher Knights in their native plane.

The Okasre Kingdom lacked control over the northern border, and these highland hunters were so fierce that the Free City had a chance to intercept them, and relied on the superior living environment of the Free City to make them residents here.

Half a month later, this group of plateau hunters has completely accepted the will of the Demon Hunter Knights, and initially possessed the ability of holy light. Most of them possessed agility and great bowing skills, so most of them became Holy Ranger led by Legolas, Gillian, and the four Rog archers, with only a few choosing the Paladin, led by Barney.

With manpower, the free city began to develop in earnest, and although there was still a large amount of land outside the city, at least there were farmers working on it. The Forgotten Lands are protected by the surrounding craters and sheltered by volcanoes where the fire element is entrenched, giving it a spring-like climate that allows for the cultivation of a variety of crops throughout the year.

It was in this harmonious and comfortable life that a conflict broke out in the free city. One day, half a month later, Nataya entered the place with a group of orc refugees, causing a strong resistance from the highland hunters who had settled here.

The highlanders of the northern part of Austria and the highland orcs of the southeastern part of the Orc Empire have always been mortal enemies, and they have forged irreconcilable enmity with each other in various skirmishes for generations.

Like Austria, the upper echelons of the Orc Empire are not very stable, and the mutual tilting of the Synksor and Reis Groups and the entry of the Soul Eater Dragon King have caused violent turmoil in the already incomplete society of the Orc Empire. Most of the plateau orcs located on the southeastern border of the Orc Empire are apes covered with white fur, and they were not valued by the top of the Orc Empire in the first place, and in this chaotic era, they fell victim to frequent skirmishes on the border for the first time.

Living on the frontier all year round, many of these highland orcs knew human language, and they did not believe that any human would accept them when Nataya lobbied, and that there were still their mortal enemies. But after Nataya's repeated assurances, and the sheer force that saved them from the border conflict, they decided to take the human's word for it.

But Nataya still underestimated the hatred between the plateau orcs and the plateau humans, which has been accumulating for many years, and it is not something that can be easily solved.

Just as Nataya led hundreds of highland orcs into the Lockthroat Canyon in the southern part of the crater, the Holy Ranger guarding here openly released arrows despite the orders of the leader. Fortunately, Nataya blocked all the arrows for these highland orcs, so that no more fierce conflict broke out.

"What are you doing!" Gillian shouted angrily at the Holy Ranger of the Highland Humans at the Lockthroat Fortress, "Didn't you see Nataya's there?

"But Commander, those are apes! they are our old enemies!" said the captain of a Holy Ranger, gritting his teeth, "My father died at the hands of these bastards. ”

"Watch your words, Captain!" Gillian said, "Have you forgotten the tenets of the Demon Hunter Knights and the laws of Free City?"

"I haven't forgotten, sir!" said the squad leader.

"It's good that I haven't forgotten. Gillian said, "No matter what race, no matter what country people are, as long as they have a righteous heart, they can become residents here!"

"I know you have a feud with the Orcs of the Highlands, but if you want your lives to continue to be peaceful, you must let go of this preconception and try to understand your former enemies. ”

"The Orcs of the Plateau are also a sapient race, they live near the Yak Mountains all year round, and they live by hunting, and the hatred between you is only caused by the struggle for survival materials. Now, since you have settled here, you must obey the laws here, and you must live in peace with the Orcs of the Plateau!"

"Captain, you have disobeyed my orders and taken your men to stay in the confinement chamber for a day!" Gillian scolded, "Think about what you should do with these Orcs of the Highlands, who are just as much victims of war as you are. ”

The squad leader tried to say something, but was immediately stopped by the Rog archers, who were loyal to Gillian, and escorted him and his men to the confinement chamber.

Later, the drawbridge of the Throat Fortress was opened, and Nataya led the Orcs of the Plateau through the fortress and directly into the Free City.

Edward also knew about the feud between the highland humans and the highland orcs, so he personally stepped out to meet these highland orcs. He knows that as long as this wave of refugee resettlement is handled well, the work will be much easier in the future.

The entry of the Orcs of the Plateau really aroused the disgust of the Plateau humans who originally lived here. In their mind, it is impossible for humans to live in peace with orcs.

They gathered at the south gate of the Free City, armed with various farm tools as weapons, and shouted slogans of opposition in an attempt to prevent the entry of the highland orcs.

However, not all highland humans are like them, and some of them have become the paladins of the Glorious Demon Hunter Knights, who are not opposed to their entry. Most of them are true paladins who have been baptized by the Light and have completely converted their hearts to the path of the Demon Hunter's Light.

With this impartiality, they held back these trouble-causing townsfolk and formed a strong human wall to prevent them from attacking the Orcs of the Plateau. Among these people, there are many who are their relatives, but even so the paladins are unwavering.

Looking at these paladins, Edward smiled with satisfaction. In this way, Barney, a barbarian with a simple personality, is very suitable to become a paladin instructor. (To be continued.) )
