Of course, it's not that these cart-pulling horses are all intelligent horses, but the horsemen who drive them are all in a state of stealth - that's right, each side car squad is equipped with a Picker, who is both a groom, a veterinarian, and an excellent spell assistant, and their entanglement is very useful in defensive battles.

It's just that for them, this kind of scene of tens of thousands of people acting collectively is too spectacular, excited, curious, and instinctively shy at the same time, hiding and observing, is what they like to do the most.

Therefore, there was a strange scene of the partial van car being uncontrolled, still moving forward according to the plan.

After all the 100 side vans drove onto the new road, another long line slowly drove out amid a series of orders.

The migratory army was still divided into teams according to the original plan of 100 building-type vans, and after careful distribution in the past few days, these 100 teams were basically carved out of a mold.

A building-type van, one is one and two knight captains, ten ordinary light and heavy trucks, about 20 horses of various carts, and about 140 immigrants (the ratio of young and strong women and children is very even, basically reaching one to one).

Walking in the front is the building-style van driven by the treeman with the help of four horses pulling the cart, it is now the heaviest moment, stuffed with grain inside and out, more than twenty tons, even the treeman is a bit troublesome to pull up, need to rely on external force.

The situation here is divided into two kinds.

There are not enough trees and enlightenment trees, only two-fifths of them are currently dragged by them, and the remaining three-fifths are given to the animals, which do not have such a strong pulling force.

Therefore, only two-fifths of these are filled with grain, and the remaining three-fifths are filled with relatively light sundries and small amounts of grain, which can be transported when necessary.

This is also the case with the remaining ten light and heavy trucks, which together carry less than one van.

One hundred and forty civilians, evenly distributed around the vehicles, either to help drive or drive the livestock, and a few halflings were already busy handling food in several trucks.

The wagons in which they were, apparently specially modified, were very smooth four-wheeled wagons, with a deep and high iron pot in the middle, like a bathtub more than a pot, filled with water, and an open fire had already risen in the tandoor, and the water began to boil.

It was boiled with light salt water, which was used to replenish water and salt for the civilians along the way.

After noon, it is stewed with a variety of ingredients, and by the time the afternoon is ready to set up camp, the meal is basically cooked.

The two knight captains who had just taken office, one after the other, would trot back and forth every once in a while, and while walking, they emphasized loudly, "Take advantage of the fact that you have just hit the road, and those who have the strength to take the handle, try not to ride the car, save horsepower, and if you feel uncomfortable or tired, you can hold the car, and if you feel uncomfortable or unable to support it, squeak early, don't force it."

If you need to solve personal physiological problems, try not to act alone, be sure to inform and ask for instructions, and stay during the rest time.

Rest assured, we are the first day, we will not go too fast, wait a little will leave you plenty of rest, every hour of walking, we will stop and rest for half an hour, as long as we have walked enough twenty kilometers, we have completed the amount of today's task. ”

The neighing of horses, the shouting of farewells, the sobbing and cries of children, the whispers of scolding...... It's all mixed together.

When it was fully opened, the whole convoy was more than two kilometers long, and on both sides of the newly opened road, the black pressure was crowded with the citizens of Dalauma, who were several times the size of the migratory army, and some of them came to see off and to see the excitement.

"I have long known that Lord Gavin's methods are extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so unusual, this is no longer a simple immigration, and even the road has been repaired by the way."

"Originally, I was full of worries about this immigration, but now I don't need it at all, this is not an immigration at all, this is an army, an army of this size, if they don't provoke others, they have to cry with gratitude, where does anyone dare to provoke them?"

"Do you think they're just passing by there? Those blind monster races will definitely be swept away, and they are all natural food supply stations. ”

"If I had known that this was the case, I would have applied to join the immigration ranks."

"It's not too late to join now, haven't you listened to them, they are still in the run-in stage, they will definitely not go too fast in the first few days, hurry back and pack up, it's too late to ride a fast horse to catch up tomorrow, anyway, there are ready-made roads, and you don't need to worry about food."

"Makes sense, I'll go back and deal with it now."

"What's the hurry? You'd better ask first, are people still allowed to join? It's never too late to act. ”

"Hahaha...... It's that I'm too anxious, so I'm going to ask. ”

"I asked, and let me join, it's all the same treatment as before, hurry, go back and prepare."

"I think this matter can wait, the relationship between the city lord of Zalanda and the lord of Gavin is so close, the cooperation will only increase in the future, if there is a need, the second and third immigrants will definitely be organized, and it is not too late to join at that time, not only is the organization more mature, but we can also find out the final situation of the first immigration."

"This method, there are gains and losses, all aspects are indeed guaranteed, but the preferential policies are not necessarily as big as this time."

"Seeking stability or profit, then you need to consider it yourself, there is no good thing to take advantage of both ends."

Stimulated by the blood-boiling migration scene, after patting the door of the head, the people who joined it, not nothing, but very few, on the first day, there were all kinds of people, that is, one hundred and ten people, and even the average increase of one person in each brigade was less, but there was no one who temporarily withdrew.

Because of this matter, it has been brewing long enough, and before leaving, they have already reorganized on the spot for five days, leaving enough time for those who are not determined to regret it, and what is left has been bound by a series of policies, promises, and thoughtful preparations.

The migratory army's big pot of rice is still very attractive to many Tassel citizens.

Tesser's confusion and weakness have been for a long time, even if Zalanda takes over Dalauma, in a short period of time, the changes brought here are relatively limited, nothing more than making many people feel fair and just treatment, but those who should be struggling below the food and clothing line still have to continue to struggle below to ensure that they will not starve to death, and Zalanda has done everything he can.

Why did Zalanda so readily agree to Gavin and help him on his thousand-mile migration?

It cannot be denied that the personal emotional factor, but it is by no means the dominant factor, the real reason, Dalauma is indeed overcrowded, many people are struggling below the hunger line, especially those citizens who are forced to stay outside the city, it is called a tent camp if it sounds good, but it is a refugee camp, and if you don't go deep into it, you can't imagine the hardship inside, and you can't imagine what they can do in order to eat a mouthful.

In this thousand-mile migration, there are indeed some small families and wealthy people who want to take the opportunity to expand their influence, but this is less than one-tenth, which can be seen from the livestock and trucks accompanying the team.

Of the 1,000 vehicles, only a little more than a hundred belonged to individuals, and the rest were either purchased from the citizens of Dalauma who were not ready to move, or scrapped together scrap wagons, which were all Gavin's anyway, and the same was basically the case with those livestock.

What Gavin and the others were worried about at the beginning was that those immigrants were unwilling to sell their food and accept the unified distribution, not nothing, but a few, and most of them accepted this condition, and they were ecstatic.

Because many of them were struggling to make ends meet, and had little food left, many of them would have been forced to leave Dalauma and return to their homes in the wilderness, at least there they would have had a piece of land to cultivate and survive.

All in all, the poor migrants make up the overwhelming majority of the population.

Originally, there was another class of merchants, especially those grain merchants, who were actively preparing for this, and even hoarded a large amount of grain for this purpose, ready to sell it to these immigrants at a high price on the road, even if they were penniless, they could also sell themselves, sign labor agreements for several years, or even ten years, even in the valley, they would become the biggest pioneers.

But Gavin's policy of unified food distribution was a blow to the bottom, and all the plans of these profiteers were wiped out.

Either sell it to Gavin at the normal market price, or wait to lose all the pants.

Because in Dalauma, the main force to buy grain was taken away by Gavin, and the first batch of potatoes in the war farm blessed by Zalanda with the artifact of war can be planed in less than ten days, and the harvest is completely predictable.

At that time, Zalanda will hire a large number of people to further refine the migration route in a cash-for-work manner, which is an agreed plan.

There are wise traders who stop losses, and there are even more who are stupid and greedy.

Anyway, Gavin's thousand-mile migration this time will have more impact than many people imagine, and Dalauma will bear the brunt, and it will be very fast and very obvious.

On the first day, the migratory army walked a total of twenty-four kilometers, and when they set up camp, the sun was still high, and it would not be a problem to walk another ten kilometers and eight kilometers, but Gavin and the others still chose to stop, and spent a lot of time holding a meeting of all the knight captains to summarize and rectify.

Many problems are unthinkable in advance, and only when they are on the road will they be exposed one after another, and they must be optimized and adjusted.

"Since we have so much time, and the road after being leveled is far easier than we imagined, and the mobile food truck can solve most of our food and drink on the road, why not change the marching time?"

"How do you want to change it?"

"Set off at dawn, take five hours of rest, rest for four hours, then walk for another five hours, and set up camp on the spot before dark."

"I agree with this decision, this kind of heavy labor, even for the tree people, is a bit high, let alone enlighten the trees, they can not fully recover by the rest of the night, if they can, it is better to advance the morning and evening action time by an hour each, and turn the noon break into six hours, to give them plenty of time to absorb nutrients."

"The tree people and the enlightenment trees are the main force of our migration, we must give priority to taking care of them, we are still in the run-in stage, the load does not need to be so large, first march for three hours in the morning and afternoon, to ensure that we can walk 30 kilometers a day, for three consecutive days, and then increase the amount as appropriate after three days."

"With so much time to rest, I suggest that each team organize grazing, gathering teams, and hunting teams to gather and hunt nearby, and replenish supplies and food in time."

"It's just that how to distribute the materials collected?"

"Needless to say, of course, it is centralized management and distribution on demand."

"I think there is a problem with this method, it can't mobilize the enthusiasm of those immigrants, I think, from now on, tell those immigrants that their total supplies are all that, with a little less, it will definitely not support their valley, they must find a way, on the way to solve part of it."

"This method can be used, but not now, because it is so close to Dalawa, it will make some people think twice, and if they want to use it, they will have to wait for five or six hundred kilometers to go out, and they can't go to the village or the back of the store, at that time, they can only choose to obey."

"My lord is right, when the harvest is right, the harvest will be divided into two, part of it will be retained for its own use, and part of it will be collected and distributed according to demand, after all, those construction teams and soldiers have no way to go out to collect it in person."

"Hah...... Isn't this a territorial tax? I didn't expect to be able to use it during migration. ”

"The load of the Giant Elephant Treants is greater, they need more daylight, and the Pioneer Battalion has an extra hour of action time at both ends."

"In fact, we don't need to postpone all of it, only a part of it can be postponed, because we have enough manpower to work part of it first, and only the part that is repaired needs to cooperate with the action time of the giant elephant treeman."

"You can make arrangements as needed, but between the two sides, you can't be ten kilometers out of touch, otherwise it will not be easy to respond to any war."

"We shouldn't wait for the war to come to the door, we have to have soldiers now, we have generals, and we should take the initiative to attack."

"If you want to take the initiative, you have to walk at least another hundred kilometers, and the monster tribes in this vicinity have already been repeatedly swept by the city lord of Zalanda and General Nora, and they have already run clean."

"No wonder I walked for a long time, and I didn't see a goblin, half an orc."

"Do you have any more questions?"

"Nope."

"I don't have it anymore."

"Then adjourn."

After a series of adjustments, the migratory army walked thirty kilometers the next day, and it was still very easy, under the leadership of those knight captains, the Dalauma immigrants were like locusts in transit, sweeping away wild vegetables, pastures, and wild animals within hundreds of meters of the migration path.

As a result, not only has the quality of their food been further improved, but the total quantity of food has not decreased, but has increased by a part.

It's the height of summer, and the wilderness is full of produce.

The food shortage began to occur in Dalauma because the population was too concentrated, and the wilderness was too dangerous for ordinary people, so they only dared to move around Dalauma, and did not dare to go deep into gathering and hunting.

If they are forced to do so, sending troops to protect a large number of civilians and going into the wilderness en masse to gather and hunt can alleviate the food crisis to some extent.

The general condition of the migratory army was benign, and after a hundred kilometers, they began to increase their speed, and on the fifth day, their march reached a speed of fifty kilometers.

If nothing else, they'll all use this speed to move forward.

Because now, they have gone out of Dalauma's sphere of influence, and have truly entered the wilderness, and in the darkness, there are countless pairs of peeping eyes.

However, the size of the migratory army is too large, and when they gather together, there are very few who dare to come to them for trouble, but the danger of going out to hunt and gather is greatly increased.

With two armies in hand, Gavin and the others decided to attack instead of defend.

A large number of aerial scouts, such as Ode, the Harpy Kobold, the Pik, and a small number of flying horse knights, were all dispatched by Gavin through teleportation one after another, and spread out along the planned migration route, spreading out to the surrounding area, since all the monster tribes ten kilometers away from the migration path were listed as targets.

There is no need to declare war, and there is no such thing as benevolence, righteousness, morality, etc.

Rushing forward, slaughtering them, plundering their supplies, and burning the tribal villages to the ground is the most correct strategy.

Because they also treat humans in this way, the means are even more cruel and despicable, at least humans will not eat them, and rarely rape their females (not how noble humans are, it is really difficult to raise their appetite, all they can do are true warriors), it is not uncommon to find human corpses in their camp hanging pots, tortured women in human form, which will further strengthen the killing heart of those soldiers.

The small human villages and towns and small castles encountered along the way are still more than ten kilometers away, or even dozens of kilometers away.

Their lords, chiefs, chiefs, and other rulers would come on fast horses, bow down, and send money and food, hoping that the migratory armies would not harm the villages and towns of their realms.

Not to mention that it was for Zalanda, even in a strange territory, Gavin couldn't do anything to burn, kill and loot.

Naturally, they exchanged friendship with them, taking the opportunity to buy some of the supplies from them, while reaffirming Dalauma's dominion over the land and the importance of the migration routes.

In those villages and towns with very good geographical advantages, which are conducive to the development of commerce and migration after the migration route, Gavin is a direct and wealthy purchase of industries, and a dozen or even dozens of people are selected from the immigration team to settle in.

Immigrants are originally for use, and they don't necessarily have to immigrate to the valley, as long as they can use them for their own use, create value for themselves, and no matter where they are, they belong to their own people.

Since the migration route was built and opened up by them, it is natural to take the opportunity to firmly control it in their own hands.

This kind of purchase industry relying on existing towns is only the first step, and the second step is the kind of walled hotel that Gose's mother said, and Gavin has taken advantage of the situation to investigate the various construction sites, and the follow-up construction work is not for these migrants, but for the kobold construction team.

On the seventh day, the migratory army was greeted with the most important greeting - a light cavalry of 3,000 men, the light cavalry of Ritabun.
