Sword of Daybreaker

Chapter 556: Immigration and deserters

Since the end of the winter, the city of Rock has prospered day by day.

This new town in the north of Cecil was once part of the fortress and plain in the southern part of the Rock Fortress. The Cecils destroyed the walls of the old fortress, razed the old towers and built a new one in the post-war ruins. The fortress city, they built a new "magic barrier" in the outer layer of the fortress city, built a dock square on the side of the "Dorgon-White River", and revived the land that had experienced the war.

At first, the people living in the inner city of the fortress were uneasy. They were residents of the old fortress. They used to serve the kingdoms stationed in the Rock Fortress. This ambiguity made them worry about the liquidation of the Cecils after the war, but As the new commander of the fortress took office and the Office of Administration began to function, the Cecils fulfilled their promises when they took over the fortress: not clearing, not forcing, not demolishing the house, not stealing the field after these promises were honored one by one. The order of the Rock Fortress has gradually stabilized, and the increasingly stable order has succeeded in letting the newly built Rock City begin to operate.

As a city with a “communication window” at the beginning of the planning, once the city started to operate, the city of Shishi quickly turned into prosperity.

Here is the throat of the Holy Spirit Plain and the Southland Exchange. It is the only way for merchants to carry out North-South trade. For the merchants, the Southland seems to always have a gap of ore and magic material that is filled with dissatisfaction, and the entire Ansu Any The local people are quite welcome to come from Cecil's alchemy pharmacy and the magic net unit Dorgon-White River, which is almost rolling in gold coins, so that merchants who come to Shishicheng to do business have become popular with a new saying: As long as you can carry a circle in the Rock City with your pockets, even the head can make a pot full.

And recently, the royal family and Cecil reached a new agreement, the slow aristocrats of St. Sunil City finally recognized the authority of the Principality of the South, and Cecil also opened more trade orders for the Holy Spirit Plain. The city of Shishi suddenly became more heated, new merchants were attracted here, new goods began to appear on those cargo ships and trucks. Cheap textiles, paper and alcohol from the south were included in Cecil’s list of goods. Their low prices have made the merchants from the plains of the Holy Spirit stunned. In a very short period of time, the goods that flow from Cecil to the plains of the Holy Spirit are no longer only the alchemy pharmacy and the magical components, but the goods purchased by Cecil are still Endless ore and magic materials...

The prosperity of the business has enabled the city to develop at a very fast pace. More and more foreigners are attracted to settle here. This includes not only the residents of the South, but also the plains from the Holy Spirit, who have left their homes for various reasons. people.

Before the entry and exit registration level at the Quarry City Pier Square, a new team of immigrants who had just descended from the ship were marching through narrow passages. This narrow passage and the rules of "queuing" were for the first time over the meteorite fortress. It's a very novel thing, they are not very adaptable, but the fully armed dock soldiers can guarantee that they will adapt in a short period of time.

A red-haired young man with a head down slowly followed the team and looked unremarkable. The thin man in front of him completed the registration, and then it was his turn to stand in the registration. In front of the staff.

"Name?" asked the registrar.

The red-haired youth shrank his neck and looked around in a way that he thought he was not moving. He whispered, "Sala, no surname, adult."

“Age? Occupation or expertise?”

"19...18 years old, being a carpenter, an adult."

The clerk raised his eyelids, looked at the hands of the red-haired youth, and looked at the other's standing position.

The scorpion is very thick at the mouth of the tiger, and the standing habit is slightly forward and the feet are separated.

The registrar glanced at the youth's dress and looked at the thick leather boots on the other's feet.

"Where?"

"The Holy Spirit Plain... Central, the village next to Boulder..."

"Is it ok?"

"I don't know, adults."

"Your registration card, go to the left channel, someone will take you to the resettlement at the end," the clerk took out a card, handed it to the red-haired youth, and glanced at the other person deeply when the other hand reached for it. "Young people, remember to abide by Cecil's law. Under this premise, the Congress will protect you. Also, don't call me an adult, I am just a registrar."

"Yes... is an adult."

The red-haired youth took the piece of cardboard a little in a panic, and did not know that he did not listen to the registrar’s confession, and hurriedly walked to the left channel, and on the piece of cardboard in his hand, Printed a number: 3.

The registered young people do not know what this number means, but the registrars working on the dock know that the code means: suspected of the Holy Spirit Plains deserters, suggesting a second review.

The registrar looked up and looked at the still long queue in the passage, guessing how many deserters from the plains of the Holy Spirit would be mixed in these people.

Since this chaotic civil war has reached a stalemate, such people are getting more and more.

The situation on the eastern front of the Plains of the Holy Spirit is said to be very anxious. Both the Royal Army and the Eastern Army have fallen into the embarrassing situation that no one can win quickly. The stalemate has forced both sides to put more and more soldiers on the battlefield, and last for a long time. The war has also caused more and more deserters to emerge.

For the aristocratic army, which lacks effective management measures and the enthusiasm and loyalty of the soldiers, the deserters are almost as common as wind and rain.

The young man was mostly a soldier of the kingdom army, so he did not dare to flee to the east. At the same time, he might be a believer of a **** other than the **** of light. Therefore, he did not dare to flee to the north of the plain. Now this world, the gods are in the north. The situation is very difficult and between the West and the South. It is obvious that the Southland, which is close to the country and has a good immigration policy, is a better choice for these deserters.

The registrar shook his head, and Cecil did not mind the deserters who came out of the old aristocratic army of the deserters, and the refugees who lost their homeland and left their homes. They were valuable laborers for Cecil, the registrar. Although I am not a senior official of the Administrative Office, he has also received training. He knows that every person coming from the north side of the Rock Fortress is no different from the Principality: anyway, it will be unqualified, and all must be educated.

A similar thing is not only at this registration exit, but at the end of the twenty-eight registration channels at the terminal square, every registrar has a number of signifiers for special immigrants from the deserters of the Holy Spirit Plain. The strangers who were expelled by the Church of the Light, suspected to be sent by the northern aristocrats... Since the situation in Cecil was initially stabilized and the Principality was recognized by the royal family, the Southland once again opened the channel to absorb the population, and the huge immigrants flooding into the South What kind of people are in the team.

In a sense, Cecil’s leadership relied on the rise of “migrants.” For Cecil’s Office of Administration, dealing with these immigrants is almost a basic business requirement.

The red-haired youth who left the registration channel carefully took their "registration card" and walked on the way to see the next "registrar adult". In this huge and strange city, he was confused and uneasy, but more More is novelty and excitement.

This is Cecil, or part of Cecil.

But it is totally different from what he imagined, and it is completely different from what he has heard.

The nobles in the north said that Cecil was a barbaric, desolate, cruel and orderly collapse. They said that the aristocratic system in the South had disappeared, and a man who climbed out of the coffin destroyed all the order with a barbaric war. They said that this land is inferior and decent, the authority does not exist, the despicable serfs and the noble knights can all walk on the same road; they say that it was burnt into a scorched earth by the magic of the Cecil, and only the scorched earth A principality of the military...

But the red-haired youth see only the wide and clean streets, the high-altitude buildings, the honest and friendly "adults", and the bustling to the incredible pier square. If this is the barbaric cruelty and order collapse described by the nobles. Scorched earth, then are the nobles themselves living in a more horrible pit than scorched earth?

Looking around the square where the eyesight is, Sarah thinks that the nobles have only one sentence to say right: here, it is true that everyone is on the same path.

That road is really wide, everyone can go.

If a few fellow villagers who have escaped together choose the same path as their own, it is a pity that they have gone to the north.

The red-haired youth slowly walked forward, and the eyes seemed to be insufficient to observe every new thing here.

There are so many new things here, and it’s so overwhelming that people are at a loss.

There are neatly lit lampposts on both sides of the wide road. The lampposts are not oil lamps, but the magic spar. There is a strange metal tower standing on the open space, and a large block floating on the top of the tower. Crystal; at the end of the line there are workers who are building something, every tool and machine they use is unheard of, unheard of...

"Sam, you can't believe what kind of place I got..."

The red-haired youth whispered the name of his fellow countryman. He was slower and slower on the passage. His attention was almost completely attracted by the strange magical devices that could not be seen. If there were no fences on both sides of the passage, he must now Go to those devices and look around carefully.

His delay finally caused dissatisfaction with the people behind him. Someone slaps a slap in the back: "Hey! Go quickly! You are in the way!"

The red-haired youth quickly apologized and then stepped forward to go forward, but just as he was about to leave, a light and shadow that suddenly emerged from a distance and a simultaneous sound made him stand in horror.

In the center of the quayside, on a platform slightly above the ground, a large magical device suddenly activated, and a huge holographic image appeared on the top of the magical guide. Along with the image, there was a short time. The sound of the music sounds like a mix of flute and lyre.

The Cecils on the docks were all very quiet. They were not surprised at all. They just looked at the "illusion magic" that suddenly appeared in the square with some kind of happy and expectant expression, but included red-haired youth. The new immigrants inside were scared by this scene. Some people even exclaimed in the queues. The red-haired youth almost made a cry, but he just opened his mouth and kept this slightly. After a short stance, he saw a beautiful lady in the magic illusion and heard the other voice:

"The audience friends in front of the magic guide terminal, good afternoon everyone, I am your old friend, Miss witch...

"In today's Witch time, I want to introduce you to an inspiring magical creation...

"... Ten minutes later, the Principality's newest magical warship, the Trailblazers, will enter the water ceremony. It will be the new pride of the Principality. The powerful Trailblazers will become the sword and shield to protect every citizen... ...

"...Rebecca Minister believes that the technology of the new magical warship will greatly promote the advancement of shipbuilding technology in the Principality, for the civilian sector...

"Now, let's turn to the off-court, my colleagues are ready at the dock..."
