Chapter 461: The Great Migration

Chapter 455 – The Great Migration

Under the guns of the Border City Alliance army, all adult males in the occupied area were forcibly conscripted, no matter what their previous status was, whether they were lowly paupers or noble aristocrats, they were all now insignificant members of the conscription, the difference only lay in whether they would consume one or two bullets from the enemy in the future, or chose to disobey orders and dirty the bayonets of the Border City Alliance soldiers with their own blood.

Human life was so cheap, let alone anything else.

Regardless of rich or poor, everything they owned before now belongs to the Border City Alliance, which makes many nobles who wrote letters to join the Border City Alliance regret, if they had known that they should have directly joined the Glory Alliance, at least the titles of the northern nobles are recognized by the other side, and they can still retain their wealth.

But now the regret is already too late, lost the alliance army, lost the leader of the councilor, in the forced conscription and did not resist, now locked into the barracks of what they can do, really dare to do anything, around the border city alliance of the soldiers will definitely let them understand what is called killing without blinking an eye.

Resistance is impossible to resist, they do not even have a weapon, only simple tools, so soon by the Border City Alliance soldiers pointing a gun to dig trenches to build fortifications, the days of that called a miserable.

Even worse, their relatives did not escape, all the food and wealth were systematically searched by the soldiers of the Border City Alliance, even a piece of bread and a nail were not left, even the houses were requisitioned, only to keep a cover of clothes, so it can be seen how ruthless the search.

It is because of the loss of everything, so want to survive must follow each other’s orders to work, only then can get barely able to eat food.

Therefore, even if you were a nobleman or a noblewoman at a banquet the day before, now you have to sell your labor in order to get the food to live, and even because the work is not as good as the commoners have not been beaten, the life is worse than death.

The Border City Alliance’s action with such fanfare and its cruel and immoral tactics immediately caused panic among the half of the Noble Alliance members who belonged to the Glory Alliance.

The good thing is that the Glory Union did not force conscription, in addition to the integration of the surrendered alliance army, is to hire a large number of laborers to cooperate with the reserve corps to build fortifications at the border, which makes those nobles more or less relieved, but also more cooperative, for fear that the Glory Union will find excuses to come to a plagiarism and extermination of the family.

Soon a large number of trenches and fortifications appeared in the border between the two armies, only the Border City Alliance’s speed is faster, more efficient, even the cities near the border were built into war fortresses, and the material is the people living in the city’s houses, it can be said that the Border City Alliance occupation area is all for the sake of the war, so even if it only occupies the fourth layer of the population and the territory, it still does not lose the wind.

In contrast, the Glory Alliance was much slower, only enlisting some of the young and strong to work, and then a steady stream of people migrating towards the territory, used to fill in the large no-man’s-land between the North City and the Mara City, and used to expand the area of the territory’s development.

This kind of large-scale migration should have been met with great resistance, but everything is afraid of comparison, just look at the tragic situation of the occupation area of the Border City Alliance, even the poor people who have nothing are not willing to stay, after all, the Glory Alliance not only provides the food needed for migration, but also promises to distribute land, as long as you are willing to go, so the vast majority of people are willing to leave their homes will soon be turned into a tragic battlefield.

In fact, this also has something to do with the fact that the residents of the Northland are all foreigners, although they don’t want to leave their hometowns, they won’t be too rejected, after all, that’s how their elders came over in the first place, and now it’s just to do it all over again.

It wasn’t long before even the nobles of the original Noble Alliance couldn’t hold out any longer.

More and more people chose to migrate, and losing too much population, even if they owned land, it was useless, not to mention that the victory or defeat of this battle was unknown, once the Glory Alliance lost the battle, they would fall into the hands of the Border City Alliance.

Think about the peer in the Border City Alliance occupation area of the day, replacement of territory or something is not unacceptable, not to mention the safety, at least their title will be recognized, but also to get the same size of the territory, as for the population or something, as long as there is money, the big deal is to spend money on hiring people, better than stay and wait for the death of the strong.

In the era of general lack of education, every move of the nobles is more like a weathervane, so as soon as they left, those who were still hesitant gave up their houses and fields and chose to move together. Just like the snowball effect, at first it was only the poor who had nothing who chose to migrate, and there weren’t many of them.

Later on, it was the commoners and the nobles, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger, from thousands and tens of thousands to millions, the increase was so big that the management of the territory felt a huge pressure.

Luckily, the territory had prepared for this, tens of thousands of reserve corps built good roads and a large number of transit stations between the Glory Union and the Noble Union in advance, providing the necessary food, drinking water, and medical care to ensure that the migration would not turn into a road of death.

Even so, the entire management of the territory was about to go crazy, after all, this was a population migration of over a million people, needing to take care of every aspect, the workload directly burst the meter.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Flame Queen’s Crystal Ball Extension had already been utilized on a large scale in the territory, the statistics and scheduling had become incredibly fast, coupled with the obedience of the territory’s population, there was really no telling what would happen.

At this time, the second batch of 100,000 reserve regiments had already completed their integration, escorting a large amount of materials to escort the territory’s grassroots administrators and monks to Mara City.

Here, they would register and divide the land for the millions of migrated people, and at the same time, they would also become the administrators and preachers of the towns in the future, completely branding themselves with the territory’s mark.

Settlement is not just a matter of making a few gestures. Even in modern times, the two conditions of land and water are indispensable.

Without water is a piece of land, without the ability to cultivate the land will not last long, and a place of water and soil to support the population is also a ceiling, must take into account the reproduction of the population, at least a hundred years of development to plan, which is even more complex.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a Flame Queen in the territory, and a one-eyed giant eagle that acted as a satellite, the manpower and material resources needed to complete the planning, as well as the time it took, could simply make people collapse.

Even so, the planning still gave the grassroots managers responsible for implementation a headache.

If it wasn’t for the fact that 100,000 of the relocated population came from Ferrier City and Solari City, which belonged to the system’s converted population, and were able to take the lead, the grassroots administrators would have even more headaches.

In order to reduce the risk and enhance the management, after the first batch of migrants were settled, the territory began to hire laborers on a large scale, preparing to improve the transportation network that had already been planned.

The territory likes to build roads, but it can’t be built to no man’s land, so after settling the migrated population, in order to facilitate the management in the future, a convenient and fast road is a must, so with the main road between the north city and Mara city as the core, extending the branch roads in all directions, and even in order to increase the efficiency, the territory also plans to build a railroad, after all, after the victory of the war, the land of the noble alliance will belong to the territory as well, and by that time After all, after the victory of the war, the land of the Noble Alliance will also belong to the territory, when that time comes, you can’t rely on horse-drawn carriages or vehicles that are not yet fully mature to transport such a long distance.

Once the transportation network plan is completed, the entire territory will be completely connected, even if there exists a large number of people for conversion, after learning that the territory’s army can rush to any place within a day, all the small minds will choose to carefully put away.
