Release that Witch - Chapter 1234
[Chapter 1203 The Dark Gift]
It has to be said that Baron Shen Chiwan acted very quickly. He not only allocated half of the rooms in the Governor’s Mansion for the use of the army command, but also mobilized a group of maids to serve everyone. It can be said that he was quite considerate.
However, Iron Ax shut them all out on the grounds of preventing leaks.
Looking at the young men in the staff team who were showing signs of reluctance, he said expressionlessly, “It’s time to work, let’s all act. Don’t forget that your performance will be recorded and handed over to Edith Kant Review, if there is a mistake, you should know the consequences.”
At the mention of Beidi Pearl’s name, everyone shuddered and immediately dispersed to get busy.
“Map, I’ll hang the map!”
“What about the itinerary? I’ll check it again.”
“Who will communicate with me about the amount of ration preparations?”
The room suddenly became very lively.
“As expected of a young man, he is so energetic…” Remy smiled and shook his head, “The baron has good eyesight, and I’m afraid he has seen the details of these people.”
“It’s just a nobleman’s usual method,” Iron Ax frowned. “It would be best if he could devote the same amount of thought to the relocation.”
“Don’t worry, our administrative office will follow up and supervise this aspect.” Remy patted his chest and said, “In short, even if the first springboard has been successfully won, the process can be said to be smoother than I expected. From In a sense, the fangs and the Hongshimen family have actually helped us, but it may not be so easy in the future…”
“No, there is no difference.” Iron Ax interrupted.
“Is…really?” The latter was startled.
“Because they are already behind this era.” After he finished speaking, he stopped answering, but turned his gaze out of the window. The rain clouds were dissipating at this moment, and a small piece of blue appeared in the gloomy sky.
“Because they are already behind this era.” This is what Edith said to him a week before departure—but this time it was not a private meeting, but directly invited him into the office of the General Staff and arranged a meeting recorder.
The topic of discussion was how to efficiently complete His Majesty’s population migration plan, “Unaware of changes in the outside world, all eyes are fixed on the little wealth at hand, no imagination, boasting that he is good at calculating gains and losses, Most of the nobles are like that. If I’m not mistaken, you plan to call them one by one, right?”
“If they interfere with His Majesty’s plan.”
“Too slow.” Edith said bluntly, “This operation is different from the Unification War of Graycastle. Troops need to be garrisoned in unfamiliar territories to ensure a smooth migration route. The available soldiers will be continuously diluted, even if the final victory is inevitable. Doubt will also greatly prolong the time of the entire plan. Secondly, the power of Graycastle may make them afraid to confront directly, and the conspiracy behind them may not be exposed immediately. Wait until they cause substantial damage, and you will not take action. Being blind will damage His Majesty’s majesty.”
“Then what shall we do?”
“Determine the target in advance, just pull one faction and hit another faction.” Edith handed over a form.
I saw that it was full of options, followed by a score of +1+2.
“What is this?” Iron Ax saw such a special form for the first time.
“Threat assessment form? Rebellion grading manual?… Anyway, it doesn’t matter what it’s called. This is something I compiled based on the psychology of nobles. The reference conditions include gender, heir, territory size, number of troops, daily behavior, etc. You just need to pass the corresponding information Fill in the box, and you can get a general result. The more information available, the better for judgment. Since the situation between Langxin and Yongdong has changed drastically, the General Staff Headquarters cannot complete this part of the work for you. If If you encounter something that is not on the list, you can calculate it according to the table.”
“What about after the calculation?” He asked while flipping through the pages.
“Those who are below fifty can be recruited. Their strength is mediocre and their ambitions are also limited. However, these nobles can do a lot of things. Local map information, town distribution, and population details can be learned from them. And more The important thing is that with the support of the local lord, the migration work can achieve the highest efficiency.” Edith explained.
“As for those above fifty…” She paused, “It can be regarded as having no negotiation value, or it is not worth wasting time on them——regardless of whether the other party has shown surrender or not, we should take the initiative to attack and not give them Leave a little room for fantasy.”
Even Iron Ax was shocked when he heard this.
He was not afraid to wipe out all the nobles who dared to resist His Majesty, but in terms of methods and means, it was too far behind—Pearl of the North used only one watch to determine the future of these nobles, even if she Never met each other, nor spoke a word to them.
He was silent for a moment before opening his mouth, “The result…is it accurate?”
As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Iron Ax naturally understands the meaning of time and how much effort this form can save him—a large part of the relocation fleet is rented by His Majesty from the Fjord Chamber of Commerce, even if The devil has no intention of erecting an obelisk in the Impassable Mountains, and the relocation should be completed as soon as possible.
“I don’t rule out deviations. Even setting the dividing line at fifty is just my personal opinion. Considering the preciousness of time, it’s up to you to decide how to do it.” Edith took a sip of tea unhurriedly , “After all, the staff department is only responsible for providing advice.”
Iron Ax turned to the last page. It was a list that had already been concluded. The information should come from Chenxi. Among them, the one with a score below 50 was the first landing point of the fleet plan, Shenchi Bay. lord.
Before leaving the General Staff Office, he asked the other party the last word.
“Are there no nobles who are not behind the times?”
“Of course there is a possibility,” Edith rolled up her hair and said with a smile, “but even without this watch, I believe you can tell it quickly—because that person must be very similar to me.”
Thinking of that confident expression, Iron Ax sighed, gathered his thoughts, turned and walked towards the First Army camp.
As Pearl of the Northland said, nobles are not the problem, but how to transfer the people in an orderly and efficient manner is the difficulty.
However, only two days later, tens of thousands of migrants gathered in the Shenchiwan wharf area!
They crowded outside the square densely, waiting to board the boat and set off.
This number not only exceeded the expectations of Iron Ax and Remy, but even Baron Jean Bate was greatly surprised.
The First Army had to postpone the departure date to maintain order in the flow of people.
“What’s going on here?” Iron Ax asked Remy, “Could it be that you exaggerated His Majesty’s promise in your propaganda?”
“How dare I make decisions on my own,” Remy shook his head repeatedly. “Everything is done according to the procedures summed up by the previous administrative office, and its efficiency depends on the prestige of the instigator. It’s not surprising if it’s Neverwinter, but this The baron can’t compare with His Majesty at all, so the number of people transferred in the original plan is only between 300 and 500 people.”
“It turns out that it has doubled by more than twenty times now.” Iron Ax said with a complicated mood.
Naturally, the more immigrants the better, but things beyond the plan are always a little uneasy.
He knows how difficult it is to make these people abandon their land and believe that the danger is coming. Even if His Majesty promised a certain amount of compensation, Graycastle is always an extremely remote and unfamiliar place to the wolf-hearted people.
Now that there are so many migrants suddenly, it is difficult for people not to doubt what happened behind them.
“If I have to say it, there is one situation that may correspond to the present.” Remy pondered for a moment before saying, “That is the refugees fleeing.”
Because this kind of people have nothing at all, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will rush to it like moths chasing the flame.
“But these are free citizens from villages and towns near Shenchi Bay.”
“In theory, yes, but my staff heard a few interesting rumors during the promotion – for example, the Hongshimen family has a feud with Baron Bett, and they plan to capture Shenchi Bay and turn the surrounding people into slaves Another example is that man-eating monsters appeared in the hilly area in the north, and some towns were emptied overnight. There are quite a few more, and each of them has a nose and an eye, which makes the local people panic. I think this is probably the reason why there are so many migrants—if you can’t wait to leave your homeland, aren’t you just like a refugee?”
Iron Ax was stunned, “When did the rumor happen?”
“It was at least one and a half months ago. At that time, we had just set off from Neverwinter.” Remy rubbed his chin and said, “Should we say that we were really lucky?”
No wonder.
Iron Ax’s face darkened, it was obvious that someone was behind the scenes, and he was clear about the purpose of the first army’s trip.
Who spread these rumors?
Why did the other party help Graycastle?
Are they friends or enemies?
A string of puzzling questions flooded his mind.
—until a soldier interrupted his thoughts.
“My lord, someone asked me to give you this letter.”
“Who?” Iron Ax temporarily suppressed his distracting thoughts and took the envelope.
“I didn’t leave my name, it’s a little guy,” the soldier replied, “but he said he was also passing it on, probably the writer didn’t want others to see it. I’ve already checked, and there is nothing in it except a piece of paper. ”
The envelope is ordinary hemp cloth, which is much cheaper than sheepskin or cowhide, and is often found in civilian markets.
The mouth of the bag was not sealed with wax oil, it was left open, which seemed very casual.
The iron ax took out the piece of paper inside, but was surprised to find that it was completely black, and its hard and smooth texture was by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Turn it over, there is only a line of small golden characters on it.
“This is a gift from your loyal servant, I hope you will be satisfied.”
