Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 485 Population Explosion
After the second captured red lizard sacrificed his life, a thick new experimental report was added to Harvey's desk.
The dozens of pages of damage test reports detailed the degree of damage response of the demon lizards to other attacks except magic weapons - and as Harvey expected, their skin was also immune to divine attacks!
But probably because of the great difference in physiological structure with humans, the other party received little damage feedback when facing plague, toxins and mental attacks. At present, it seems that only freezing and anesthesia can have a certain effect.
This forced Harvey to abandon the "biochemical weapons" research and development plan in his mind and turn his attention to their unique black water weapons - this liquid weapon transformed from the body fluids of the red lizards, although the composition is unknown... but it can be absolutely confirmed that it has a highly flammable property, to put it bluntly, it is "weak fire".
As long as the battle site is not located in the cold sea water, Harvey is confident that he can develop thermal weapons that can achieve a large-scale flame burning effect - such as incendiary bombs, which is a good choice to deal with the demon lizards.
…
The short summer in the North soon came to an end. With the arrival of autumn, the population growth of Spark City ushered in another peak of explosion.
With the fall of the old capital, Fengyuan City, Grizzly Castle, Silver Pine City, Black Mountain Port, Sancha Town and other major cities in the country changed hands one after another, and 70% of the territory of the Principality of Saint Valen was actually under Harvey's control.
These towns that had just experienced brutal wars had undergone earth-shaking changes in their structure - the nobles surrendered their fiefdoms under coercion and inducement in order to protect themselves, while the poor tenants who had been working honestly had most of their fields burned down due to the war, or were trampled by the nobles of neighboring countries who took the opportunity to plunder. Seeing that a whole year's hard work was wasted, and even before the cold winter came, they fell into a miserable situation of hunger and poverty.
The recruitment of refugees sent by Harvey to the southeastern regions immediately doubled in effectiveness. Compared with the previous situation where the secret police went to various places to recruit secretly, the city hall has now set up lower-level municipal departments in almost all cities with large populations, and has begun to recruit fresh labor openly.
Sancha Town, which was originally just a river transit port, has nearly a thousand refugees gathering from the southeastern two routes every week, waiting for the ships heading north to take them to the recruitment propaganda... Spark City, where everyone can have comfortable housing and stable jobs, and live a rich and stable life.
In order to prevent accidents before the refugees arrive in the north, the city hall also sent the construction department's engineering team to Sancha Town, and in a very short time, the original port town with a population of more than a thousand was doubled, and a relief canteen and free medical station were set up, and a large number of stone brick barracks for temporary accommodation of refugees were built, so that even in the cold winter, there is no need to worry about the refugees stranded here being cold and hungry.
After the opening of the Shenji Mountain Tunnel, Jackdaw Ridge, which is less than five hours away from Spark City, naturally became the busiest gateway before entering the North. The City Hall and the Police Department dispatched almost 30% of their staff and police force to maintain the order and security of Jackdaw Ridge, the "border port", to ensure that everyone who boarded the train to Spark City had completed the origin inspection and identity registration.
The officials in charge of population management in Spark City divided the refugees from all over the country into detailed categories, and then arranged them in three temporary shelters outside the city, east, west and south.
Although Reiner, the municipal manager, has been working almost 24 hours a day, the General City Hall, which has been short of staff for many years, is still very busy and chaotic. This is entirely due to the fact that Harvey's South Border Operation Plan was achieved too quickly. Nearly half of the staff from the General City Hall alone were transferred to various places in the South to establish lower-level municipal management departments.
"A telegram has arrived! Half an hour later... a group of refugees from the southern border will arrive at the central station, about 500 people, from the vicinity of Silver Pine City!"
"Ahhh! Silver Pine City again! How can they recruit so many refugees there?"
"Tsk! The shitty nobles of Silver Pine City... would rather surrender their land and send a lot of jewelry and property to our city lord as tribute to seek peace, than to take out the damp grain in the warehouse to help the people. Most of the fields over there have been destroyed by war, and the locals can't make a living at all!"
"Bah! They should really see those stupid nobles in the old capital hanging on the gallows, and reflect on themselves!"
"Shh... Stop talking, obedient dogs don't need to be killed and eaten immediately, hurry up and go outside the city to pick up the car!"
"Unlucky! I'm down Zhou Lun was transferred to Sancha Town, responsible for the transfer of population to accept the work! This is my first time to the South Territory... I heard that the town over there doesn't even have a sewer, and the dirty water is flowing all over the ground... The house doesn't have running water and heating and lighting, I really don't know how I can survive it! "
"Hehe, you have to go through this, so that your boss will have a good impression of you during the year-end evaluation, don't complain... Remember to bring more cigarettes and soap, you can't get these good things in the South Territory."
Sitting in the second-floor manager's office, Reiner rarely relaxed for a moment. The sharp hearing of the alchemical life allowed him to hear the noisy conversations downstairs, and he could accurately figure out who was talking - since the city hall was built and restructured, there has been no chance to rest for a moment.
But what happened recently made Reiner, who thought he was already qualified for the position of municipal manager, feel a little anxious and impatient.
With the rapid recruitment of refugees, Xinghuo City suddenly increased its foreign population at the end of the summer... This uncontrollable influx of foreign people naturally followed by frequent public security issues and a sudden increase in crime rates.
Even the director of the Police Department who has always been calm and capable... Yurio, who has just been promoted to deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, has his black and shiny hair, and his temples are slightly gray. You know, he has just been I am just thirty years old and haven’t officially started a family yet!
Nympho
"Mr. Manager, I didn't want to ask you for such a busy time in the city hall..."
Even if Yurio is so busy that his feet are not touching the ground, he always keeps his waist and back straight and full of spirit. His superintendent uniform is brand new and neat, but the words are what Reiner doesn't like to hear the most. "The refugee shelter area outside the city is in a hurry now. There was a shortage of staff, so I applied for the emergency recruitment of 200 trainee police officers a week ago, but you called me back without even reading it... I could only come to my door and ask for additional staff. "
Reiner leaned over at the desk, holding a pen and drafting documents quickly, without even lifting his head, and the mechanical tentacles hanging from the spine of his back quietly poked out his robe, pulled out a document from the bookshelf behind him, and directly Handed it to Yurio sitting opposite him.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"It's not that I deliberately ignore the requirements of the Police Department, but that recruiting police officers must require local origin, innocent origin, reliable character, and aged between 20 and 40 years old... You also know that the current conditions are Xinghuo City is a high-quality candidate that the military headquarters and various factories are striving for. It’s your turn...whether there is any extra manpower to be assigned?”
Yurio raised his eyebrows. Facing the most powerful figure under the city lord, he had no fear and perfunctory attitude at all. "But the public security issues in the shelter area are urgent. If they are not curbed immediately, it will soon affect the city. ...When the city lord is held accountable, we will be inseparable from the relationship! "
As soon as he spoke these words that implicitly threatening, Reiner, whose emotional perception was gradually fading, suddenly felt a sense of anger. Finally, he raised his head and stared at the other party quietly with the soul fire that was leaping with his eyes for a few seconds.
"Mr. Superintendent, threatening me will not have any effect on solving the problem." Reiner explained in a light tone, "Unless I change the recruitment requirements set by the Lord of the City, I will be powerless."
Yurio was trying to force him to say this in person, and quickly softened his attitude and politely proposed: "I have a solution... Why don't we propose to the Lord of the City to introduce alchemy creations to cooperate with the Police Department to manage urban security, What do you think?”
