Chapter 204 [Secret Cities]
(Speak for yourself, plus more! Moon ticket ~)
Time flies and two months pass. Winter snow and snow have melted away, although the northwest wind is still harboring bitter chills, but in some places spring is gradually revealing itself. The more flexible the water, the tender buds of the toes, has clearly told people about the departure of winter.
Although the northwest is a bitter place, spring is arguably the best season of the day - albeit briefly.
Much of the migration to the City of Miracles has been accomplished and the number of people officially staying in the new city now stands at 100,000. And the original city of Gilliant, almost empty.
Located on the shores of Lake Lan, the new capital city is home to fertile land rarely found throughout the northwest, along with transportation routes and closer proximity to water sources. After a series of favourable decrees by Duchess Dewey, the city of miracles after spring is all the more vibrant.
Departments specializing in population migration line up in long queues almost every day. People from all over Tessa province, even if they don't really intend to move, will choose to come and see the castle built in the last few months after the snow melts smoothly!
Just ten miles outside of Lulan City, a new military camp has been built, and the Tulip family's first infantry division has been formed. The 20,000 men's army was built on the skeleton of the 4,000 rebels, plus a batch of new recruits. Later, in order to solve the problem of the source of troops, Dewey sent another man to Uluru City to buy the Biedero, bringing in more than 2,000 prisoners in the months before and after - Biedero, although unwilling on the official field, had absolute authority in Uluru City. These prisoners, he simply had to make two random entries on the list, stating that he had died of illness or was exhausted on his way to custody. And finally, because the figure for more than 2,000 people is inevitably somewhat too large, Biedero simply reported a plague in the city of Uluru, and whoever sold it to Dewey simply claimed his life in the name of the plague.
In places like Big Ear City, they don't care, and when they hear there's a plague, who else would want to go there to check it out? The bolder Biedero, even a group of inmates who were to arrive this spring, are still on their way to the convoy and have “pre-sold” to Dewey before they reach Dale City.
With regard to these prisoners, Dewey promised them three years of service, three years later they would be given freedom and, if they were to do so, land! The North-West Dessardine province is sparsely populated and land is very large. As long as the prisoners have a glimmer of hope for freedom, they can still get their own land - although most of the land in the northwest is barren, it's real land after all!
Now in Dewey's Tulip First Division, there are 4,000 rebels, 2,000 prisoners, and over 10,000 recruits. In addition to the 4,000 rebels who were originally regular ace armies, the 2,000 prisoners were even far more combative than the average recruits!
It's also natural, after all, that Dewey spent the money to pick the strongest young people in Big Ear City, and most of the backgrounds were checked (in fact, there's no need to check, since they were sent to that ghost place in Big Ear City, most of them had no backgrounds, had backgrounds, and had already been rescued.
As Dewey said, these already desperate prisoners, after seeing a glimmer of hope, are really willing to do their best to catch them! So in training, these people are extraordinarily willing to suffer. It's been a little over six months. Even in the eyes of the Knights Robert, it is believed that these men, while not yet capable of fighting in the Imperial Commando Corps, are not much worse than those of the general local guards.
In the past few months, the Northwest Army general Dodoro sent two more people to ask for money. For the first time, Dewey used a "drag” technique to fool the other party away, and for the second time, the other party came back and his attitude was much stronger. Given that Dewey has not yet turned his back on the Northwest Army, and that it is immediately the annual spring performance of the Imperial Army, the Northwest Army will mobilize on a massive scale and will have to defend itself. At the end of the day, we simply compromised, paid for peace, and handed over 50,000 gold dollars in military expenses. That's what sent those Northwest Army guys away.
The cavalry is considerably smaller than a complete infantry division that has been formed. After all, a good cavalry is harder to train than an infantry. Although the northwest is a popular place, Lombardon has extremely strict selection criteria for his own men. So far, Dewey has only one cavalry regiment of 3,000 men, half of whom are recruits under his old boss from Lombardon.
However, Lombardon's rigorous training of those recruits has left much to be desired. And Lombardon assured Dewey that although there were only 3,000 cavalry troops, after Lombardon's mistreatment of them, the combat power of those 3,000 men had barely allowed them to lean on the cavalry of the Imperial Regular Army.
In fact, at the beginning, Lombardon's men assembled nearly 5,000 people, but the guy's training was harsh, and many people couldn't make it to the end, and others were kicked out because they couldn't meet Lombardon's requirements. And then Lombardon came out on patrol with thousands of people, and he didn't know what he was doing mysteriously. He didn't come back until after a month, and the numbers were even smaller.
When Dewey asked, he found out that Lombardon was taking these people out to “fight”! According to Lombardon, "No real knife, no real gun, no blood soldiers, no more practice! Because skills are not practiced in military camps. Some very brave guys pee their pants on the battlefield on weekdays. Some people who look ordinary on weekdays can become good fighters on the battlefield! ”
So Lombardon took these thousands of people out on a light patrol without any weight, stayed for a few days with dry food, went northwest along the Qimamu Mountains, crossed the territory of Desa Rural Province, entered the northwest corridor, ran all the way to the desert outside the corridor, and fought with a few small horse thieves, giving these recruit eggs some real combat experience.
Indeed, when they returned, the temperament of these recruits was very different, and everyone seemed to have faded away their original greenery, revealing a few showers of blood.
Lombardon led the army harshly, but it was absolutely good for his men. When they returned to the City of Miracles, Lombardon took a group of people to visit the brothel in the honor of the General, making a few mistakes and giving Dadaniel, the first guard officer in the new capital, a headache. But Dewey told me, as long as it wasn't too extraordinary, try to leave it to the 250th general.
•
At dawn, a wagon ran on the road to the new capital, Lulan, surrounded by dozens of cavalry escorts around the wagon, skilfully manipulating the horses and expressing seriousness.
Dewey was sitting in this wagon with a tulip crest. He got word last night that he was leaving early in the morning for Lulan New City.
In fact, the Duke of Dewey has already moved to the new capital, and the new Duke's house in the new capital, which imitates the castle of Rollin, has become Dewey's new home. However, Dewey has remained in the abandoned city of Gilliard for these days.
Gilliar, this abandoned city has been emptied of its original population! And Dewey didn't end up abandoning this empty city. He even spent some human and material resources repairing the perimeter walls and rebuilding the previously collapsed parts.
In Duvi's view, the city of Gigliar, as the capital, is highly unqualified because of its remoteness and inability to cover the entire province of Desa, backed by the Kilimaro Mountains. But this remote city has something else to do with Dewey!
A month ago, after the last residents moved out, Dewey ordered the city to be sealed off and built in the city!
Because in Dewey's plan, this geographically remote and extremely safe city will be his best backup production base!
Of course, this is not the place where ordinary weapons are produced, and Northwest, this shattered territory, has no minerals, and the lack of iron ore prevents Dewey from producing weapons on a massive scale here. But... Dewey has a lot more to make! Some secretive weapons that are temporarily unwilling to be exposed!
And what better place to be a production plant than an empty city?
The original Gilliar is a city after all! All life charity is extremely complete, the perimeter wall is the best defense, just guard the wall, no spy or agent will come in or out!
And the people in the city don't need to go in and out. The city has perfect living facilities, wells, houses, and even Dewey has opened an empty space to serve as farmland, so that the people in there can live on their own! Fully enclosed production is sufficient to meet confidentiality requirements!
And this abandoned city, now the production base, Dewey, has completely handed over to Saliscaya and Sete, two magical geniuses.
Thereafter, thousands of slaves were bought from the city, men and women, young and old, to whom Dewey had only one promise: freedom after five years of working in the city! And after you're free, you'll get your own land!
And these people, from being slaves, turned into workers at Dewey's production base.
It was frightening and surprising to these workers that they had thought that waiting for themselves would be extremely onerous labour… Many prisoners died in such onerous labour. But in this production base in Gilliard, work is far less painstaking than you might imagine!
They even have a very comfortable place to stay (inhabitants who had been relocated, leaving behind a large number of empty houses.), delicious and sufficient food. Even Dewey ordered that these people get up every morning, work until sunset, and rest for a period of time every day at noon.
And the work is not too heavy, it's just a little weird... in several of the built workshops in the city, they blend together a lot of medicines and powders they don't know, and then produce them in large quantities...
These people certainly don't know that what's made of all sorts of unknown drug powders is the biggest invention of the "magic fire element” in Solskaya, the kind of powder that Dewey relies on.
And the people Lord Sett manages, the work is even weirder, they open a land in the city, they plant all kinds of trees, and Lord Sett teaches them how to marry and grow... and then some of the people who choose from the inmates will work hard... carving!
In this production base, the rules are not too strict, food breaks and safety are guaranteed, but Dewey only gave one strict order: no one is allowed to leave the city!
For some time, only one guy who didn't know he was alive tried to escape and was caught by soldiers before he got to the city gate, and then Dewey broke his legs publicly.
“I can give you hope… but I can always take your lives!” Dewey declared to these people: "So within five years, you'd better keep that in mind! ”
Earlier this morning, Dewey had to leave the production base because he had received information that the Marquise's brother and sister had entered Tessa Province and, according to information transmitted along the way, they would arrive in the City of Miracles this evening.
In view of the good relationship with the Lester family, Dewey, the owner of Dessarong Province, will certainly have to hurry back to greet him well.
In particular, he was curious about the Marquis Lester sending her to think about seducing her sister...
