Chapter 1203 The Dark Gift

It has to be said that Baron Shenchiwan acted very quickly. Not only did he set aside half of the rooms in the Governor's Palace for army command, he also mobilized a group of maids to serve everyone. It can be said that he was quite thoughtful. However, Iron Ax turned them all away on the grounds of preventing leaks.

Looking at several young people in the staff team who looked reluctant to give up, he said expressionlessly, "It's time to work, let's all take action. Don't forget that your performance will be recorded in a book and handed over to Edith Kant. Review, if there are any mistakes, you should know the consequences."

As soon as the name of Beidi Pearl was mentioned, everyone shuddered and immediately dispersed to get busy.

"Map, I'll hang the map!"

"Where's the itinerary? I'll check it again."

"Who will contact me to prepare the quantity of rations?"

The room suddenly became lively.

"As expected of a young man, he is so energetic..." Remy smiled and shook his head, "The Baron has a good eye. I am afraid he has already seen the details of these people."

"It's just a common method used by nobles," Iron Ax frowned. "It would be best for him to put as much thought into the relocation operation."

"Don't worry, our administrative office will follow up and supervise this aspect." Remy patted his chest and said, "In short, the first springboard has been successfully taken, and the process can be said to be smoother than I expected. From now on. In a sense, Fang and the Red Stone Clan have helped us, but it may not be that easy next time..."

"No, there is no difference." Iron Ax interrupted.

"Yes...really?" The latter was stunned.

"Because they are already behind this era." After he finished speaking, he stopped replying and looked out the window. The rain clouds were dispersing at the moment, and a small patch of blue appeared in the gloomy sky.

"Because they are already behind the times." That's what Edith said to him a week before departure - but this time it was not a private meeting, but directly invited him into the General Staff Office and arranged a meeting recorder. The topic of discussion is how to efficiently complete His Majesty's population relocation plan. "They are unaware of changes in the outside world. All eyes are fixed on the little wealth at hand. They have no imagination and pride themselves on being good at calculating gains and losses. Most nobles are like this. If I guess correctly, you plan to fight them one by one, right?"

"If they interfere with His Majesty's plans."

"It's too slow." Edith said bluntly, "This operation is different from the Battle of Greycastle. Troops need to be stationed in an unfamiliar territory to ensure a smooth migration route. The available soldiers will be constantly diluted, even if the final victory is inevitable. Doubts will also greatly extend the time of the entire plan. Secondly, the power of Graycastle may prevent them from facing a direct conflict, and the plans behind the scenes may not be exposed immediately. Waiting until they cause substantial damage before you take action will be too risky. Being blind will damage His Majesty's majesty."

"What should we do?"

"Determine the target in advance, just pull one group and fight another group." Edith handed over a form.

I saw that it was full of options, with scores of +1+2 marked at the back.

"What is this?" This was the first time Tie Ax saw such a special form.

"Threat assessment form? Rebellion classification manual?... In short, it doesn't matter what it's called. This is something I compiled based on the psychology of the nobles. The reference conditions include gender, heir, size of territory, number of troops, daily behavior, etc. You just need to send the corresponding information Fill in the box and you will get a rough result. The more information available, the easier it will be to judge. Since the situation in Wolf Heart and Everwinter has changed drastically, the General Staff Department cannot complete this part of the work for you. If If you encounter something that is not on the list, just calculate it according to the table."

"What about after the calculation?" he asked while flipping through the pages.

"Those under fifty can be won over. Their strength is mediocre and their ambitions are also limited. However, these nobles can do a lot. Local map information, town distribution, and population details can be learned from them. And more The important thing is that with the support of local lords, the migration work can be most efficient," Edith explained.

"As for those above fifty..." she paused, "they can be regarded as having no negotiation value, or not worth wasting time on them - regardless of whether the other party has shown surrender, we should take the initiative and not give them any trouble. Leave a little room for fantasy.”

Even Iron Ax felt a little shocked when he heard this. He was not afraid of annihilating all the nobles who dared to resist His Majesty, but from the perspective of methods and means, it was too far off - Pearl of the North decided the future of these nobles with just a table, even if she Never met each other, never spoke a word to them.

He was silent for a moment before speaking, "The result...is it accurate?"

As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Iron Ax naturally understands the meaning of time, and also knows how much effort this form can save him - a large part of the migration fleet is leased by His Majesty from the Fjord Chamber of Commerce, even if The devil has no intention of erecting an obelisk in the desperate mountains, and the relocation should be completed as quickly as possible.

"We do not rule out deviations. Even setting the dividing line at fifty is just my personal opinion. Considering that time is precious, it is up to you to decide how to do it." Edith took a sip of tea leisurely. , "After all, the staff is only responsible for providing opinions."

Iron Ax turned to the last page. It was a list of names that had already been concluded. The information should come from Chenxi. Among them, the one with less than 50 points ranked first was the first landing point planned by the fleet, Shenchi Bay. lord.

Before leaving the General Staff Office, he asked the other party one last sentence.

"Are there no nobles who will not fall behind the times?"

"Of course there is a possibility," Edith rolled up her hair and smiled, "But even without this table, I believe you can tell it quickly - because that person must be very similar to me."

Thinking of that confident look, Tie Ax sighed, collected his thoughts, turned around and walked towards the First Army camp. As Northland Pearl said, the nobility is not the problem, but how to transfer the people in an orderly and efficient manner is the difficulty.

However, just two days later, tens of thousands of migrants gathered in the Shenchi Bay Pier area! They crowded outside the square, waiting to board the ship. This amount not only exceeded the expectations of Iron Ax and Remy, but even Baron Jean Bate was surprised.

The First Army had to postpone its departure date to maintain order in the flow of people.

"What's going on?" Iron Ax asked Remy, "Is it possible that you exaggerated His Majesty's promise in your propaganda?"

"How dare I make decisions without permission?" Remy shook his head repeatedly. "Everything is done according to the process summarized by the previous administrative office. Its efficiency depends on the prestige of the instigator. It would not be surprising if it was Neverwinter City, but this person The Baron cannot compare with His Majesty, so the number of people transferred in one day was originally planned to be between 300 and 500 people."

"The result has now increased more than twenty times." Tie Ax said with a complicated mood. Naturally, the more immigrants the better, but things that go beyond the plan always make people a little uneasy. He knew how difficult it was to get these people to abandon their land and believe that danger was coming. Even if His Majesty promised a certain amount of compensation, Graycastle would always be an extremely distant and unfamiliar place for the Wolfheart people. Now that there are so many migrants suddenly, it is difficult not to doubt what happened behind them.

"If I have to say it, there is a situation that may correspond to the current situation." Remy pondered for a moment before saying, "That is the refugees who are fleeing."

Because these people have nothing, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will rush towards it like moths chasing a flame.

"But these are free citizens from the villages and towns near Shenchi Bay."

"Theoretically, it's true, but my staff heard a few interesting rumors during the promotion - for example, the Red Stone Gate family has a feud with Baron Bet, and plans to capture Shenchi Bay and turn the surrounding territories into slaves. . Another example is that man-eating monsters appeared in the hilly areas in the north. Some towns were eaten out overnight, and the bones were placed in the middle of the road. Now those monsters are spreading to the southeast. There are many similar rumors, and one He has a nose and eyes, which makes the locals panic. I think this is probably the reason why there are so many migrants - if you can’t wait to leave your home, aren’t you just like a refugee?”

Tie Ax was stunned, "When did the rumor start?"

"It was at least a month and a half ago. At that time, we had just set off from Neverwinter City." Remy touched his chin and said, "Should we say we are really lucky?"

That's weird. Tie Axe's face darkened. It was clear that someone was behind this, and he knew the purpose of the First Army's trip.

Who is spreading these rumors? Why does the other party want to help Graycastle? Are they friends or enemies? A series of puzzling questions came to his mind.

——Until a soldier interrupted his thoughts.

"My lord, someone asked me to give you this letter."

"Who?" Tie Ax temporarily suppressed his distracting thoughts and took the envelope.

"He didn't leave a name, it's just a little guy," the soldier replied, "but he said he was also delivering it. Maybe the writer didn't want others to see it. I've already checked it, and there is nothing inside except a piece of paper. "

The envelope is made of ordinary linen cloth, which is much cheaper than sheepskin or cowhide. It is commonly found in civilian markets. The mouth of the bag was not sealed with wax, it was just left open, looking very casual. 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 definitely not something ordinary people could afford.

Turning it over, there was only a line of small golden characters on it.

"This is a gift from your loyal servant. I hope you will be satisfied."
