The military observation group of the Plantagenet Kingdom set off in a majestic manner, and the short marshal politely made an announcement to Murphy's side before his army set off. His intention was to prepare the cunning Murphy to receive 10,000 armed blood servants and 50,000 ruffians and all the scumbag criminals in the East Phorus regional prison.

Although he did the same thing, Marshal Loren, a young dwarf in his seventies, was obviously not as shameless as the politicians of the Northerners.

Although he had never been friends with the Transansians, he himself felt that what he was doing was a bit inauthentic.

He thought that his notice would make Murphy furious, but he didn't expect the other party's reply in the calculation orb to be quite calm, and there was even a deep joy and expectation in that tone, which made Marshal Loren wonder if Murphy was under too much pressure in the governorship, so he went crazy?

In the current situation in Translasia, what do you have to be happy about as a vampire governor?

Shouldn't the sick rush to the hospital do everything in their power to find a way out before the conflict breaks out?

Marshal Loren was puzzled by this, but he did not understand the significance of the "labor" he sent to all levels of Transnesia.

Murphy and his administrative group have been plagued by manpower problems for a long time.

Although the situation has now been alleviated with the addition of mountain people and homeless people, these people who "admire Wang Hua and take the initiative to vote" are the sweets in the eyes of Murphy and Miriam, and they are absolutely reluctant to throw them into the dark barony to dig a pit or send them to repair the great straight road from Cadman Earldom to Sico.

As the time of the Black Plague approaches, Murphy is now in urgent need of a batch of "consumables".

And Marshal Loren sent the Governor what he needed most at this time, and sent 60,000 people at once!

What is this concept?

Even if one were to consider the fact that one or twenty men were dying every day in the trench being dug near the filthy swamp area of the Dark Barony, the arrival of this batch of consumables would be enough for Murphy to survive the establishment of the Maginot Line and transfer them to the cause of road building.

The Brotherhood of Stonemasons will have enough basic labor, and as long as Lao Chen Tou and his two disciples are ruthless, the construction work under their full responsibility will definitely be carried out in a hurry.

However, Professor Chen is an intellectual after all, and he is kind enough to see the cruel exploitation of human beings by those human beings.

Therefore, the gray beaters and brick movers never let Lao Chen go to the dark barony, lest the sentimental old man feel sad when he sees the scene of using people as cattle on the front line.

However, Murphy and Miriam's acquiescence to the frontline behavior also led to an unintended result.

According to Adele's secret informants, the kobolds digging trenches on the front line have become more cooperative and deferential after seeing the humans who have been assigned to do the same work and receive the same treatment as them.

Some of the kobold clan leaders have come to believe in Murphy's promise, believing that Governor Murphy will treat all races in their realm "equally"!

Believe it, this vampire can be so ruthless to humans, and since the establishment of the Crimson Keep, the members of the Blood Vulture Clan have been harshly hunting down traitors.

Therefore, Lord Murphy would never allow a superior race to appear in his territory.

This debriefing was very distressing to Murphy for a while.

Although he was happy to see this meeting, the vampire governor couldn't help but want to ask those kobolds, is there a fucking problem with your understanding of "equality"?

Hey, instead of talking about equal welfare, now we're talking about equal punishment, right?

Your requirements for a pathetic life are really low enough, and this description is a perfect description of the word "pathetic", right? It's a good thing that kobolds don't have a very good brain, and if they were replaced by Hogg's sycophants, it would definitely sing Murphy's praise.

In short, after a series of arrangements that Marshal Loren did not understand at all, three days passed in a flash.

As Colonel Fraser entered Transnesia with the commander of the Military Observer Mission and his own intricate army, they met the Crimson Keep near a newly built post near the Sikorn and Under Armour Hills to receive the captives.

There were quite a few people coming, and there were probably hundreds of people at a glance.

The dozens of large and sinister hussars led by them made everyone in the young officers of the Pioneer Corps look sideways, although not all of them here had participated in the Battle of Sico City more than two years ago, but they still heard of these hussars who almost broke Marshal Loren on the mental level.

As for Colonel Frazier, he observed more.

He saw that there was still some immature momentum in these hussars, which was enough to show that these were new recruits, in other words, the hussars had begun to rebuild.

This is not good news for the Pioneer Corps.

Colonel Fraser, who had personally participated in the Battle of Sico, knew that once the men recovered, their feud with the Pioneer Corps would be brought back to life.

"Hats off! Excellency. ”

General Maxim of the People's Army, who had been officially appointed as the military commander of Transnesia, stepped forward and said solemnly to Colonel Fraser:

"On behalf of Governor Murphy and Archon Miriam, I welcome you to Transcia to assist us in dealing with the Plague, and we have chosen several locations for you."

"I won't bother you with this."

The colonel said in a deep voice:

"We'll choose where we're going to stay."

"Well, that's not up to you, guys."

Maxim said with a blank face:

"Transencia is not a colony of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and the land has not yielded at the end of a decade-long war. Since we have not bowed to you in the most difficult times, and now that everything is getting better, you cannot expect us to suddenly become shrunken turtles.

Take your officers to the Crimson Keep to meet with the Governor and the Archon, Colonel, and your soldiers must stay here until the two sides come to an agreement!

The Transans have no tradition of allowing the armies of other countries to move freely on our land.

Please note!

This is not a request. ”

Such a forceful reception caused a commotion among the young people in the Observation Mission, and Major Ron, Colonel Fraser's aide-de-camp, was about to open his mouth to retort, but the colonel made a gesture to suppress him.

He looked at Maxim, who had acted with him before, and saw the stern light in the other's blood-colored eyes.

He knew it wasn't negotiable.

Unless the Pioneer Legion intends to fight the Transansians here and take control of the land once and for all, they will have to accept these guys' offers.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with your arrangement."

Colonel Fraser nodded, but then changed his tune and said:

"But all the losses incurred by my soldiers during their stay here will be paid by you, and since you call yourself the masters of Translasia, show some hospitality!"

"Transencia may be barren, but it is still possible to entertain a group of uninvited guests."

Maxim whispered:

"Please reassure the soldiers, the reception of prisoners has begun, and besides, where are the 'consumables' that the half-dwarf marshal has provided us?

Our representatives from various industries are ready to pick 'talent'. ”

"They're people, even though they're scum, but I've heard a lot of ominous things from your words."

Colonel Fraser responded:

"Although I have no affection for them, out of the love of my countrymen, I hope that you will not use them as vampire food."

"You've been away from Transylasia for a long time, Colonel, your understanding of the vampires of this land is still stuck in the past, and we're long gone to stop doing that stupid thing of killing chickens and taking eggs."

Maxim carried the horsewhip and said casually:

"It's a waste to treat people like blood packs, and their talents need to be discovered, whether they want to or not! Only those who are worthless can become slaves who offer blood.

This will also be their last use in Transnesia. ”

At the same time as the high-level dialogue between the two sides, the people who came with Maxim have already begun to act.

Colonel Flanders, the war hero of the 3rd Brigade of the Armed Bloodservants, has chosen to retire, and instead of joining the Cadman People's Army as Maxim's aide-de-camp, he has been disarmed and promoted to become the leader of a group of outcasts who are about to go to the Dark Barony's Wasteland.

But now that some of his former compatriots were returning to Transnesia, the colonel, who was in the prime of life, did not refuse Maxim's invitation to come here with the representatives of the armed blood servants.

Accompanied by several KPA officers, he came to the ranks of the 10,000 armed blood servants who had been captured by the Plantagenet Kingdom.

He looked at the tired compatriots in front of him, and there was no light in his eyes, and he sighed in his heart, the Third Brigade was captured by the North and sent to the Great Wilderness to build the steam railway that was constantly devouring people, and the blood servants of the First and Second Brigades in front of him did not have a good life in the prisoner of war camp in East Pruus.

Colonel Flanders saw all those with whip marks on their bodies, their clothes in tatters, and some of the handicapped were placed on board carts, unkempt like beggars.

Some of them had seen Flanders, a war hero, and some of them, barely maintaining a decent officer, tried to salute the colonel.

Flanders responded one by one, and then, in the midst of everyone's attention, he shouted:

"Where is your commander? What about General Berkeley? Is Colonel McCann still there? What about Colonel Mario? Are you still alive? Squeak!

Don't hide behind your own like a coward! ”

No one responded to him, only a numb look in his eyes that spoke of silent suffering.

After a few minutes, a colonel with a broken leg was carried in front of Colonel Flanders by his own soldiers, the fellow was so emaciated that the once fitting uniform was as empty as a bag of flour.

He was lying on his back and spoke in a very weak voice, and he said to Flanders:

"Greetings, Colonel, I am Major William Scott, Commander of the First Brigade Assault Company, and the commander you were looking for is gone.

The Plantagenet Kingdom captured us and sent us to the mines of Anjou, where they did not kill us, but we were awaited with more than two years of hard labor.

General Berkeley died in a suspicious mining accident.

Colonel McCann is swept under a cliff in a mudslide to save his soldiers, and Mario, the bastard, mutinies.

He took 1,500 elite blood servants to the Wolf Vulture faction of the Wolf Venom Clan.

I'm already one of the only remaining officers, and the plantagenet bastards are clearly planning to clean us up, but the Mother of Midnight has mercy and we finally return to our homeland.

I heard that the 3rd Brigade suffered the same thing.

The shameless bastards in the POW camps will also remind us of your experiences in the wilderness of how merciful they are in not killing us.

They claim to be the embodiment of 'civilization'.

Phew! ”

"We failed, and that's what happens to the losers."

Colonel Flanders was silent for a moment, then whispered:

"You have returned, and this marks the end of your long hard labor. I must take comfort in telling you that the current ruler of Translasia, Governor Murphy, is a vampire like no other, and under his rule we may not be able to reap the life we desire, but I can assure you that you will not be discriminated against and mistreated in your homeland.

I and a few other retired officers formed the 'Transcaya Veterans' Guild, a semi-official civil society that gave us enough supplies to arrange the future of our brothers.

Major William, I now solemnly invite you to join us, the brothers have already shed blood for their homeland, and we cannot let them shed tears any more.

Of course, the work you have to shoulder will still be heavy.

The Kadman People's Army is recruiting qualified soldiers, and you are responsible for selecting enough elite soldiers from your current 7,000 men to transfer to the KPA ranks.

Another 1,500 men will be sent to defend the villages and cities, and the remaining brothers will be disbanded.

Those who have families will take refuge with their families, and those who have no families will be scattered into the collective farms, or follow our newly formed Dark Barony Reclamation Regiment to the south and build our own villages and cities with our own hands.

I have received the authorization of His Excellency the Governor!

If we can do it, we can have our home again! His Excellency the Governor even named our future realm himself.

He named it 'Talonshire'.

I don't know what that means, but I'm sure the name is full of blessings for us. ”

"South?"

Major William, who was being carried on his back, was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously lowered his tone and said:

"But the Black Plague."

"We can't escape, William."

Colonel Flanders whispered:

"Unless you're willing to leave your home again and live a rootless duckweed life, after all you've been through, would you still make that choice?

I think that even if we have to die, we have to die in our homeland! This is the last dignity of those of us who have not kept up with the times.

You tell me? ”

The major, who was already very tired and now just wanted to rest, was silent, and none of the junior officers around him objected.

Anyway, the situation has been so bad, how bad can it be?

The reception on their side can be said to be a peaceful handover, but the situation on the side of the 50,000 border guards that the Plantagenet Kingdom has aided to the Transcian side is not so easy to describe.

The queue of 50,000 people stretched all the way over the steppe of Sico, like a black tide, and the number of these people was enough even if they were not armed, and they formed a large-scale chaos after they were disbanded, but fortunately, the officers of the Military Observer Corps were quite a bit of a spectrum, and they did not release these guys as soon as they entered Transnesia.

Several officers who were in charge of escorting the "consumables" reluctantly handed the roster to Professor Malcolm in front of him, who had come to receive assistance on behalf of the Administration.

The professor didn't take the time to greet the people of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and after he got the roster, he returned to his side, and as he flipped through it, he said:

"The Pioneer Corps is very confusing in gathering information, and they don't register the individual specialties of these border guards, which means you have to find a way to recruit the people you need yourself.

That's 50,000 people, and I won't be able to do it for a while, so my opinion is, spread them apart."

"Don't bother, Professor."

The representative of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons waved his hand and said with a big grin:

"We are about to start building two large straights from the Crimson Keep to the south and north, and according to Old Chen's calculations, it will take at least 30,000 laborers to work overtime to complete them in three months without professional tools.

I mean, just separate them here.

First of all, they will all be formed into a basic labor force of 20 people, and then who has any talent and so on will naturally be investigated on the construction site.

I brought twenty foremen, and each of us could take three hundred. ”

"We need all veterans with experience in gunnery!"

On behalf of the Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Regiment under the command of the People's Army, the tiger and leopard cavalry Lin also said loudly:

"Brother Bang said, bring all the valuable people over first, and then slowly transform them."

"Okay, okay, you pick first."

The brick mover shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I'll take someone away when you're done picking."

"But that means they have to stop there."

Professor Malcolm frowned and said:

"That's 50,000 people, temporary accommodation or something."

"Wouldn't they just build a prisoner of war camp on their own place?"

The brick mover glanced at the sky, and as expected, he saw the vulture Revno, soaring in the sky, which meant that Lord Murphy was looking at this side.

He squinted his eyes and said:

"With so many people, one person and one brick can build a town. This is the first order of aid, and if they don't even want to do this little thing, it means that there is no need to keep this layer of window paper, right?

Aren't the hussars under the command of the Valand Knight waiting for orders from a kilometer away?

To be honest, I'd like to see these guys riot, and really, the Aliens have always been fearful of power rather than virtue, so the ancient wisdom of killing the Mighty Stick is necessary in any era. ”
