Mage with knife

The Spartans took the opportunity to invade the continent of Og this time. Dick didn't know what the future situation would be like, and he had no interest in knowing it. That was a matter for the leader of the big force to consider.

"Old Peter, where is Luo Xue? I haven't heard from Luo Xue for a long time."

"Luoxue followed her demigod master to Arctic Continent a few months ago, saying that it would bring great benefits to Luoxue..."

Oh, that's good. Is Arctic Continent a holy land for cultivation? Of course it's more developed than here. That demigod master treats Luo Xue well and says it's beneficial. 80% of it is a big benefit.

It's good that Luoxue can avoid this battle. Luoxue is a saint, but in such a large-scale confrontation, saints are only a small part.

This time, many saints from divine religions besieged the Holy Island. This time, the Snows and Spartans jointly counterattacked. I don't know how many saints and demigods died.

Since Luoxue is fine, Dick doesn't care about the future war, and it has nothing to do with him. Whoever loves him will die. It's all a struggle of interests, and no one is good.

"Old Peter, Holy Island counterattack, why don't you go with us?"

"I'm responsible for the ground attack. Dick, so many big cities have been lost in the east, and the Holy Island needs to be recovered. The Holy Island alone cannot do it. As for you, quickly gather tens of thousands of cavalry... Don't worry, I will follow the team to attack.

Many saints from the Star-Moon God Sect have been killed. A large number of saints from the Snow people are dispatched first to chase down the remaining saints from the Star-Moon God Sect. It should be easy for the army of Trust City to regain the lost ground."

On the contrary, the army of saints will not occupy the city. It is their mission to hunt down the saints of the Star and Moon God Sect.

Dick doubted how many saints there were left in the Star-Moon God Sect. It was okay. With a saint like Old Peter accompanying him, even if he was attacked by the Star-Moon God Sect's army, with old Peter opening the way, no big army would be able to withstand it.

Isn't it the killing of the living saint?

"There are 40,000 cavalry gathered east of Nerchinsk City, is that enough?"

"That's enough."

Just cleaning up the mess. According to the news from the secret guards, the Xingyue God Cult’s army has withdrawn from the four or five major Snow cities they occupied. They are still accelerating their retreat to the east. They have traveled such a long distance. It’s time to catch up.

Unrealistic.

Dick recalled Zhang Huan, and you, Zhang Huan, should not join in the fun of such an honor as regaining the lost ground. The leader of the 40,000 cavalry became Tu Hai. With Dick's order, the two remaining senior cultivators in Chifeng City were also

Dick was recruited as the deputy of Tu Hai's army.

Tu Hai had a resentful look on his face.

"Look at the chicken feathers. There was no need to fight at all. It was almost an armed parade. After this parade, you have done a lot of credit."

"Lord City Lord, what does this credit mean?" Tu Hai was not happy yet.

"Stop talking nonsense, the saints of the Holy Island are working tirelessly to hunt down the strong men of the Xingyue God Sect. Why are you complaining? You can't just give up on the nine big cities in the east, right? Tuhai, many Snow people are too late.

They all migrated and fled into the jungle to the south.

This time you lead the troops to march eastward, and recalling those who fled is the most important thing. Nine big cities need to be rebuilt, and no one can do it. Understand? Don’t say whether you have merit or not. The Snow people who fled are looking forward to it.

Master Wang is eager to see that when the army returns, only the Snow people who have fled will dare to come out and rebuild their homes..."

What Dick said makes sense. The Star-Moon God Sect has captured a large city with so many Snow people, and there are many Snow people fleeing. It is the most convenient and realistic way to escape into the jungle to the south.

"Don't worry, City Lord, I know what to do." Since he had this important responsibility, Tu Hai became serious.

"I will raise a team of civil affairs managers, and you can leave the specific work to them. In each city that is recovered, some teams and some civil affairs personnel will be left behind..."

After explaining for a while, Tu led the army and set off with Old Peter.

Dick knew that these 40,000 troops would never come back.

Okay, in order to rebuild the nine big cities to the east, it's okay to contribute 40,000 troops to Trust City. It's all for the benefit of the Snow people. I can't be too stingy, can I?

Notices from the city lord's palace began to be posted everywhere. The battle on the Holy Island was won, the army was heading east to regain the lost territory, and the Snow refugees who fled to Nerchinsk City could go home.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go back.

Following Tuhai's 40,000-strong army's "Eastern Expedition", more than 200,000 "refugees", including many practitioners, began to move eastward one after another with the army, returning home. Not all of them

Are you all willing to stay in Nerchinsk City?

The Snow people are free, and no manager of any big city can stop them. Dick didn't want to stop him. The population of Nerchinsk City is already very large, so it doesn't matter if hundreds of thousands of people leave. Besides, there are nine major cities in the east.

Does reconstruction also require a population? Dick can't be too selfish.

"Lord City Lord, what should we do if there are many refugees who want to return to Tuta City?" Gao Shun asked. After all, the Holy Island means that Tuta City theoretically falls under Dick's jurisdiction.

"No matter, those who are willing to return to Tuta City, let them choose their own leader, and they can take care of Tuta City themselves."

"Ah?" Gao Shun looked confused, how can this be done?

"The population of Chifeng City is so small, why should Tuta City have any use for it? It's sparse, and it's still so far away. Otherwise, you can take care of Tuta City as well."

"Then, let's forget it." Gao Shun shook his head. It was a big city away, and an intermediate-level mounted bird or spirit beast would have to fly for a long time. It was indeed too far.

In terms of policy, it is not allowed to hinder the return of the Snow people, and Dick has nothing to do, so just ignore it.

As for the vitality stone mine and magic gold mine in Tuta City, the output is just that, and Dick is not interested. Whoever occupies Tuta City will get it.

What Dick needs most now is to stabilize Chifeng City and Nerchinsk City. How can he have the leisure to take care of another city? It does not mean that the bigger the territory, the better. Chifeng City only has a few hundred thousand people, and it will take a lot of time to develop.

Woolen cloth.

"Gao Shun, please straighten out Nerchinsk City as soon as possible. There are too many outsiders coming in and out of Nerchinsk City these days."

"Understood!" Gao Shun left.

Dick's current focus is still on Nerchinsk City, and the direction of funds and personnel is also on Nerchinsk City. Food needs to be eaten one bite at a time. Nerchinsk City has settled down, and the next step is Chifeng City.

The current Chifeng City will be under the control of the city lord Subotai, and it will be restored to whatever condition it will be. After all, Trust City's financial, material, and manpower are also limited.

Following the guidance of the City Lord's Palace, most of the original refugees from Tuta City did not return to Tuta City. Instead, according to the advice of the City Lord's Palace, they either stayed in Nerchinsk City or moved to the nearby Chifeng City.

Is it obvious that the higher-ups want to abandon Tuta City? How can we go back to Tuta City now without anyone to protect us? What will we do if the army of the divine religion comes again? Aren’t the common people stupid?

With the relocation of refugees, the population of Nerchinsk City was reduced to 12.3 million, while Chifeng City recovered to more than 200,000. This is roughly the result.

Dick didn't really forget Chifeng City, so he still inspected Chifeng City. The city lord Subotai did a pretty good job. The population of 200,000 moved several times, leaving only Chifeng City and four nearby outer cities. Popularity

With this, it is also convenient for centralized management nearby.
