277 All personnel evacuated
While the entire Storm Castle is mobilized, the mood of the inhabitants is far better than last year's when the Ice Demons struck. At least not last year's large-scale exodus, and after several battles at Stormcastle, most citizens have confidence in Duke, believing that the Lord and the Stormtroopers can keep them safe.
Even if it is unbearable, they still have confidence in their hearts, Duke, the lord, will never abandon them, this is the trust that Duke brings to them!
In terms of the hydro factory, a thousand complete dwarven warriors can be said to be the most elite force in Stormcastle at present, and they are in various laboratories, sending orders to Duke to ask the scientific pioneers of this era to leave the hydro factory, because it is very likely to become a battlefield, and a thousand dwarven warriors cannot guarantee their safety.
It's just that in the face of the escort of the dwarven warriors leaving, basically all the scientific pioneers chose to oppose, not to mention them, and many dwarven craftsmen in the arsenal chose to resist.
Because for them, this hydroelectric factory is the place where all their efforts and dreams are gathered, and only a hydroelectric factory in this world can support their pursuit of science and research and development.
Weapons Laboratory, Water Conservancy Laboratory, Firearms Laboratory, Metal Laboratory, Steam Laboratory, etc......
It can represent the most advanced scientific and technological direction of the Europa continent and the future development trend of mankind.
But now the situation has reached the time of urgency, the storm army has undertaken a very heavy retreat task, and all the wagons have been requisitioned to rescue the wounded in the direction of the beach, and it is already a very difficult thing to ensure the safe evacuation of all personnel, these equipment are within the scope of abandonment.
Fei Duo of the Second Regiment of the Storm Army was in the hydroelectric factory at this time, and he also had a great headache when he looked at these scientific pioneers who were unwilling to evacuate, and even such as Watt, Bruru, and even the musketeer Copperbeard, shouted the slogan of co-existence with the hydroelectric factory!
Moreover, the importance of these scientific researchers, even beyond that of mages in the ordinary sense, has always been at the top of the Storm Castle career pyramid. Because Duke once said that only a nation that respects science and technology and scientists can survive in the future.
Of course, Duke changed the slogan of nation to a territory applicable to this world. It is because of Duke's attitude that Stormcastle is very keen on scientific research, and even many civilian children try their best to enter the hydroelectric factory as workers or apprentices, hoping that they can become scientists in Duke's mouth.
"Sir Watt, we really can't take away such things as steam engines, the carriages have been requisitioned to rescue the wounded, and we have more important weapons and armor to take away, so we can only put them here!"
When Watt heard Fedor's explanation, he yelled at him with excitement: "Do you know that this steam engine is on the verge of success? Do you know how much this machine surpasses the dwarven steam engine, as long as there is this steam engine, the whole world will feel the birth of another power, and this kind of machine will also change the world!"
In the face of Watt's excitement, Fei Duo just replied with a blank face: "Sir Watt, I don't know what you said, but the lord has already given the order, if you don't evacuate again, please forgive me for being unreasonable." ”
"What do you want to do, if you go against my will, I will complain to the lord!"
When he heard this, Fei Duo ordered directly to the dwarven soldier next to him: "Do it!"
With Fei Do's order, the dwarves, who were already simple and rude, directly carried Watt on their backs, and if they didn't know, they thought they were kidnapping. This behavior is not only happening to Watt, but also Bru, Serra, Copperbeard, and others, and Fedor doesn't have so much time to explain to them, just bring them to Stormcastle and complete Duke's orders.
In addition to the hydroelectric factory, the dwarven town is also facing a similar situation, the dwarves of the Hammer tribe have finally come out of the barren and cold mountains, built their own homes, and have a fertile land for grazing. As a result, they were not yet fully built, and the crops in the field were about to ripen, but at this time they received an order to abandon their homes, which naturally they found unacceptable.
It's just that compared to the rebellion of the pioneers of science, Hammer has absolute authority within the dwarven tribe, and no one will openly disagree with his opinion. And during this period of getting along, Duke, the human lord, also won their loyalty with his practical actions of treating the dwarves well.
Although many dwarves resisted and reluctantly in their hearts, they finally chose to obey the order and evacuate from the dwarven town with their families in tow.
While these evacuations were in full swing, the Tide Tribe in the trade market also received an order to keep them waiting, not allowing them to enter the core territory of Stormfort.
In the face of this order, the fish-man leaders of the Wave Tribe all showed an extremely dissatisfied attitude. Because they finally crossed the blockade of the Shark tribe and came to the territory of Storm Fortress, they told them to stay where they were, and did not give them any protection.
In case the pursuers of the Shark Tribe come over at this time, then the entire Wave Tribe will face a situation of total annihilation.
The order was passed on to Hillman of the Recruit Corps, because the other important legions of the Storm Army had this very heavy retreat mission. But if you just send an ordinary herald to inform the Wave Tribe, they will be regarded as despising themselves. Now that Stormcastle is in crisis, Duke doesn't want to face a worse situation.
However, Duke still miscalculated, even if the entire Wave tribe was hit, there were still 100,000 people, and the fish-man warriors pulled out could be as high as tens of thousands. This kind of tribe is about the same size as Storm Castle, and being able to surrender to Storm Castle is originally a very unwilling result, otherwise it will be a cooperative relationship.
As a result, now facing the backlash of Storm Castle, and just sending a new corps leader they have never met, Magna thinks this is an insult to the Wave Tribe, and also a contempt for the Naga Siren Fasqi!
Just as they were arguing with Hillman and saying that they would forcibly land inside the Stormcastle Ring to keep their tribe safe, Duke appeared.
In this situation of crisis outside, Duke learned that the Wave tribe might not be able to suppress it, so he could only leave Storm Castle at great risk and negotiate with the Wave tribe in person. Until he has completely absorbed and assimilated the Wave Horde, Duke will not allow another ticking time bomb to appear in Stormcastle.
