Chapter 178: Countless Refugees
"Young Master, there is about half an hour, and we will be able to reach Lakeside Town!"
Outside the carriage, the driver turned into Uncle Jerry, who looked at the familiar landmarks around him and quickly estimated the approximate time.
"Well, it's finally almost there!"
Inside the carriage, Victor couldn't help but open the curtain and take a look at the surrounding scenery.
Whew!!
The cold wind instantly poured into the carriage, making both the sleeping Roentgen and the Scorpio King shiver and look at Victor with a resentful face.
"Haha, I owe it!"
Victor smiled awkwardly and quickly sealed the curtain, but when Roentgen and the Scorpio King woke up, they couldn't sleep either, so they simply came to Victor's side and said that they wanted to look outside together.
"Do you really want to see it?"
Victor put on his hat and clutched his collar and said.
Roentgen and Scorpio nodded in unison, looking innocent.
"Okay~"
In the next second, the cold wind poured into the carriage again, blowing into the carriage with a hula, and the soaring temperature made Victor instantly wrapped himself in his stall.
Roentgen has thick hair, and except for a little chill at first, it is pleasantly enjoyed afterwards.
Victor felt cold when he looked at it, and took the initiative to hide behind the car window.
The Scorpio King blew for less than two seconds, then turned around and ran to Victor's side, and it turned out that winter was better for him to sleep.
The double-edged pills on one side can be said to be the least afraid of the cold, and at this time, like Roentgen's cat, they sent their heads out and looked at the scenery intently.
As a piece of bronze, the Bronze Mirror Monster is very insensitive to low temperatures, but it is also only interested in meditation, so it is where Victor is, and it is more clingy than the kitten monster at that time.
Victor looked at the harmonious elves in the carriage and touched the helmet of the Scorpio King beside him.
"Remember, when we first came to Lakeside Town, we were in a carriage, and I was stroking you like I am now."
Victor tapped on the Scorpion King's armor and said with a smile.
Lazily, the Scorpio King opened one eye, then curled his tail, just enough to wrap Victor around him.
"You guy......" Victor laughed and shook his head, but just quietly leaned against the Scorpio King.
Fortunately, he was dressed thickly and wrapped in a blanket, so he wouldn't panic by relying on the Scorpio King.
The wind in the carriage gradually became quieter, but Roentgenium, who finally felt the cold, pulled the curtain back.
"Meow~"
Roentgen moved around in the carriage, and then quickly took to his stomach, just one with the Scorpio King, one left and one right, and surrounded Victor.
Three double-edged pills, you look at me, I look at you, and finally said hello to Roentgen and leaned on its body leisurely.
The Bronze Mirror Monster was still floating in the air, it didn't need temperature, it didn't need to squeeze Victor.
The carriage soon became quiet, and Victor felt an inexplicable sense of cherishing it, wishing that the carriage would travel a little longer.
But as half an hour passed, Victor could clearly feel the speed of the car drop, and there was a little noise around him.
Got to town?
Confused, Victor got up and lifted the curtain again.
What greeted him was the smell of various odors, as well as the haggard, numb and frozen red faces.
"It's a refugee!"
Victor's mind instantly knew the side of this group of people, but ......
When Victor turned his head back and forth to look at each other, he saw that the refugees seemed to be queuing, but Victor could not see either the leader or the end of the line.
How many refugees do we have to have?
Victor was shocked, and then immediately said, "Speed up and get back to Lakeside Town, I want to know the situation of these refugees." ”
"Yes, young master!" Outside the door, Uncle Jerry said crisply, and then the carriage increased its speed significantly.
However, Victor has no intention of paying attention to this, and the refugees in front of him urgently need to be resettled as quickly as possible.
There is only one small town around, Lakeside Town, and they can only be here to seek a chance to survive and a way out.
Fortunately, it was sunny and there was no snow on both days.
If there is a heavy snowfall, at least half of these refugees will die!
Soon, Victor and the others arrived at the main gate of the town, but at this time only the side gate was open, and two rows of soldiers guarded the door to prevent the refugees from entering.
Thundered!!!
The main gate suddenly opened, and naturally the guards on the city wall saw the family emblem on Victor's carriage.
"Uncle Jerry, you stay behind to pick up the big team that hasn't arrived yet, Ajie, you go with me!"
Uncle Jerry nodded yes, then called the carriage to the side and waited quietly.
Victor, on the other hand, took Applejack and walked to the main entrance.
Many refugees also saw the open door, and many rushed at once.
But in a crack in the opening of the gate, a large number of guards rushed out in an instant, and immediately surrounded the gate and Victor.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat !!"
The deputy captain of the Heavenly Thunder Guard Army, Renault, stood at the front and shouted loudly.
The other guards followed, and they retreated three times in a row, and the terrifying momentum instantly stopped all the refugees who rushed over, their eyes full of fear.
"Master Vic, you're finally back!"
Behind him, the voice of the chief officer of Peak sounded, and his tone was both excited and guilty.
"Say, these...... What's going on with people? ”
Victor didn't have time to say hello and asked directly.
The Peak officer collected his emotions slightly, and then immediately replied.
"Young Master, most of these people are still coming from the vicinity of Marshland City.
People who heard it say that the war there had just ended, but it had experienced a once-in-a-century blizzard disaster, and many houses in villages and towns were crushed and crushed.
The city of Marsh itself is difficult to protect, and even when they enter the city, they will not be able to give them a chance to live.
So, a lot of people came to us.
But...... We also ......"
"Have you estimated, how many people are here this time?" Victor interrupted Peak's words and said directly.
"It is initially estimated that there are at least 20,000 refugees this time, and there are people rushing here one after another." Peak immediately replied, apparently aware of it.
"The refugees need to be rescued, but they can't be let into the city, otherwise the city will be chaotic. Peak, what about General Hancous? ”
"I'm taking part of the guards to maintain order outside, and I should ...... when I see you coming back, young master."
"Young Master, I'm here!"
"General Hankos, keep the order of the refugees outside, and send the group of people I brought back into the town first."
"Okay, young master!" Hankos answered directly, without the slightest question.
"Master, then these refugees ......" Peak wanted to know about Victor's plan to help the refugees immediately.
"When everyone arrives, I'll say that this time it's not something that we can solve together."
Victor looked at the dense crowd of refugees outside and said in a deep voice.
