Chapter 699: Ramsey's Mobilization (1) (Ask for a Recommendation Ticket!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
I've experienced excitement and tedium. But if I want to say, it's better to be boring. Old Poppy followed the group, walking slowly. As he walked, he secretly thought about the various stimuli of the past few days.
In the past few days, the owner of the North Wind Tavern has experienced a record turnover and then a painful loss of the tavern. The ups and downs of life are nothing more than that. But he must admit that leaving the soft maple was the right choice.
There are more and more people who share his views.
For ordinary proletarians, where to beg for a living is a road. And those who have their own industries in Soft Maple have changed their minds after seeing the tragic situation in Juniper Village.
After all, becoming a monster and not having peace after death is far more terrifying than losing your possessions.
Long processions weave through the forest, and soldiers on horseback patrol back and forth from time to time, both to drive away the wild beasts of the forest and to watch out for variables in the ranks that could cause riots.
Every once in a while, the team takes a short break.
The soldiers would drag out the unstable factors that they had previously identified: the thugs who bullied women and children, the thieves who could not control their own hands, and the big dogs who robbed other civilians of their livestock.
The priest of the god would cast a detection spell on those people, and when the red light glowed on his body, the soldier standing behind the guy would raise his sword and fall with his sword.
As for the guy who didn't have a dazzling red name, his hands were tied and he was handed over to the care of the mild steel fork battalion. It's just that their names have been entered into the roster of death squads.
Because there were as many as 60,000 refugees in this group, the route previously provided by the rebel leader Rake became less suitable. Mayor Green had to send soldiers to open new roads, cut down trees, break vines, and crush shrubs. In this way, the people, livestock, and carts behind can pass smoothly.
Emerald Wood City is located southwest of Soft Maple City, separated by a rolling hill. Since they didn't take the main road, the team walked for about three days to reach the border of Emerald Wood City.
Thankfully, the Emperor's troops seemed to have been held back by Mr. Quest's strategy, and there were no monster armies along the way. And as the team gradually moved away from the soft maple, the abnormal cold did not continue to torment them.
But even so, the three-day marching retreat cost the team nearly 3,000 men. These include hundreds of criminals who have been put to death, the elderly and the weak who have died of hunger and cold, and many more civilians who have been left behind for unknown reasons.
It's just that in view of the current situation, this result is acceptable to all the mayors of the Five Cities Alliance, and even the loss of personnel is lower than they expected.
The team was met by the defenders of Emerald Wood City, the third group they had received in three days.
After seeing the black-armored knight who was following the rake, these warriors who stayed behind in Emerald Wood believed that the rebels who had arrived at Emerald Wood had been defeated and that those people had been properly settled.
Immediately afterwards, the alchemists who drove through the siege with Quith's men also arrived in Soft Maple City, and under the dispatch of the Black Armor Knight, these alchemists also all had their own new jobs. Together with the alchemists of Emerald Wood City, they have already begun to prepare various alchemical potions needed for the war, ready for the next great war.
After several days of busy work, the citizens who escaped from Soft Maple City finally settled in Emerald Wood City. The Green family had been in business in the city for hundreds of years, and it was not too difficult to house fifty or sixty thousand people.
The city's craftsmen carved out an area outside the city, cut enough timber from the forest to build a simple house, and then with the help of the Maple Strongmen, a town was built for temporary housing.
The original fat mayor took the mercenaries to become the administrator of the town at this time, and the steel fork battalion was merged into the defenders of Emerald Wood City for retraining, and those who failed the assessment were eliminated.
After that, Mayor Green hasn't been personally inquiring about the situation. He focused his main energy on finding the hidden mechs in Emerald Wood City.
According to Quest, these ancient war machines were all a last resort to prevent the resurrection of the raiders. Therefore, he quickly demarcated the location of the mecha excavation - the place where the legend has it that Emerald Wood City sealed off those robbers.
However, after a thorough excavation, they did not find anything that looked like a mecha, but determined that the tomb sealed with the robber had indeed been stolen and excavated, and the coffin of the robber inside had disappeared.
......
In the Grimm family's mansion.
"His name is Eater of Bones," Green said with a grim look on his face, and several of the retainers who listened to his instructions all lay on the ground in fear. The thick blankets were obviously warm, but they were all cold. "He is the great enemy of all the Ramseys, and the raider of the ancient slave-owning emperor. His grave was originally a forbidden place, but now it has been converted into a commercial area.
A few of you are in charge of the planning and construction of Emerald Wood City, and you must be responsible for approving this renovation project. Who was the merchant at that time, and how much benefit did he give you? How dare you privately agree to tear down the forbidden land and build houses on it. No, it's a whole block?"
Several of the stewards were like chaff and shaking, but none of them dared to answer Green's question. Seeing this, the city lord of Cuimu couldn't help but snort coldly, and a team of private soldiers wearing dark law enforcement uniforms walked out.
Without saying a word, the group of private soldiers were like eagles catching chickens, and they carried the managers down in twos and twos. "You are simply guilty of an unforgivable sin, and you have written down the details of the businessman who developed the commercial district. The one with the most and most detailed writing, I can spare his life for the time being. The remaining few will be escorted to the Punishment Peak after half an hourglass, and they will be pushed down to the Valley of the Buried People and will fall to death directly!"
Mayor Green's cold words came to those people's ears word for word. In Emerald Wood, there is no law more effective than the words of the Lord of Green, who said that all those who did not write enough and did not go into enough detail should be executed, and that would surely be enforced.
So they all tried their best, trying to recall every detail of the transaction that had happened years ago, and they were eager to recall all the sounds and smiles of the merchant, and then write them down in as much detail as possible.
"The merchant they are talking about is probably the same as that Charlen in Soft Maple City, and he is also a monster in disguise. Ignoring the few derelict bureaucrats who had been pushed out, Quest, who was standing next to Green, hugged his shoulders and gave his opinion, "I'm afraid it's hard to find it now." ”
"So. There is no need for those rice buckets to live anymore. Now, not only Emerald Wood City, but all Ramsay humans, there is no room for maneuver. Green agreed with this point of view, nodded, and said coldly.
