866 Adding Soldiers and Soldiers
Adding Soldiers and Civilians
Not long after, a lieutenant ran over and reported: “Reporting to the Country Lord, several dozen castellans are requesting an audience!”
“Requesting an audience?” Li Xiang was a bit puzzled. These guys usually hated to leave their small plots of land. When did they become so enthusiastic to have come to seek an audience?
“Let them in!”
Not long after, a group of people walked in.
“Greetings, Country Lord!”
These people bowed one after another. Although their gestures were all over the place, at least they knew the etiquette.
“Alright, don’t waste time with these formalities. Tell me why you’re here!”
One of them stepped forward as if it had been prearranged.
“Reporting to the Country Lord, we have come to ask for a reward or command from the Country Lord!”
“Hmm? Tell me!”
“Ahem! The Country Lord has recruited millions of civilians this time, but the population is indeed quite large. Our cities have already accommodated over a million people and cannot accept too many more. However, some of the talented individuals among them are very valuable for development, so we want to recruit some of them and give them the best treatment possible.”
“Regrettably, those castellans who lack population are extremely rude. They slander us as unofficial to smear our reputation, causing those talents to waver. Therefore, we want to seek an order from the Country Lord to give those talents peace of mind!”
Li Xiang was amused when he heard that.
Good heavens, these guys really were something else. He did not know how to respond.
You have already taken all the benefits, are the others supposed to just freeze in the cold?
“So you want me, the Country Lord, to guarantee that you can select talented individuals from the civilians? Then how would the castellans of those cities that lacked manpower look at their own country’s ruler? If everyone does what you guys do, who will be willing to accept civilians in the future? If you want talents, discover and nurture them. Or else, pick from the leftovers after the other castellans are done choosing! Don’t bother me with this nonsense!”
These castellans were all former small country lords who were conquered by Li Xiang. They had long been beaten into submission, and it was only after mustering the courage of dozens of people that they dared to come this time.
Now that they have seen Li Xiang’s direct refusal, they did not even dare to make a fuss and left dejectedly.
Outside the Star Palace, the square was very lively with discussions among the civilians. They were all very happy about the increase in population in the City of Dawn.
The resident population of the City of Dawn was now over five million, and with the addition of the floating population, it was approaching ten million.
However, the continuous stream of seven million civilians in a row still gave them a great shock. It was unbelievable that so many human civilians appeared all at once. It was almost like a myth.
“Where did these human civilians come from?” This was a question that many people had in their minds.
Although the square was large, three new projections had opened in the mirror door, speeding up the flow of civilians.
In another mirror door, the people who walked out were not civilians, but fully armed soldiers.
Every single one of them exuded a murderous aura, and even those with no discerning eyes could tell that these were all elite veterans of the battlefield.
One million soldiers!
When these soldiers appeared in the city, the civilians of the Kingdom of Dawn were not only shocked but completely speechless.
Although it could be seen that these soldiers may not have practiced the top cultivation techniques and combat skills of the military, with a little training, they would definitely be the elites among the elites, no less than the existing soldiers. After all, they had a good foundation and accumulated enough experience. Once they got on the right track, they would advance by leaps and bounds.
While curious, no one would delve deeper into it. This was a secret that belonged to the Country Lord.
In any case, as long as the civilian population increased, coupled with the arrival of this batch of soldiers, it would greatly strengthen the army and play a bigger role in this war.
“Everyone, this is the Kingdom of Dawn, where you will live in the future. However, as I said before, this is a chaotic world. No place is absolutely safe, and the Kingdom of Dawn is no exception. There will still be wars and enemies. Currently, we are engaged in a major battle against the Orc Army.”
“Someone will take you to register your household and collect a Dawn Card. The Dawn Card will be your proof of identity in the Kingdom of Dawn. Afterward, you can go to the Great Wall of Iron Blood, where you will understand what the Kingdom of Dawn is all about.”
“The spirit and history of the Kingdom of Dawn will all be understood there.”
Li Xiang did not say much. He just spoke a few words to the civilians and soldiers who walked out of the tower space before returning to the Castellan’s mansion. He had to prepare for the upcoming battle.
“Relax, brothers and sisters, no need to be so formal! In the Kingdom of Dawn, we are all family, united as one. As long as you work hard, no one will go hungry. Moreover, you can learn cultivation techniques and become cultivators, hunt fierce beasts to exchange for cultivation resources.”
“Indeed, as long as we work hard and become stronger, no one can bully us. So long as we stand united, even those fierce beasts and foreign races won’t dare to take advantage of us in the slightest. When the Orc Army with tens of millions came sweeping in, they failed to breach the Great Wall, leaving their corpses scattered on the battlefield.”
“After completing the household registration and obtaining the Dawn Card, go up the city wall and experience the battlefield for yourself. Then, you will come to realize that everyone in the Kingdom of Dawn is a brave warrior who fears no challenge. I’ve been on the city wall before and there’s no need to be afraid. We can shoot the fierce beasts and orcs directly with the Purgatory Divine Crossbow.”
“We, the Human race, may have a naturally weak constitution, but we are not food for the foreign race. We can cultivate and become stronger, not to be taken lightly. The civilians of my Kingdom of Dawn will not kneel before foreign races, nor will they bow to formidable enemies. We only believe in the blades and swords in our hands.”
Seeing the new arrivals of civilians standing in the city, many elderly people from the Kingdom of Dawn immediately went forward and introduced various matters of the state in a few words. They ushered these new civilians to quickly register and receive the Dawn Card, officially becoming a member of the Kingdom of Dawn. They were subsequently led to the teleportation array and transported to the assigned cities.
Walking along the streets of the new city, many felt the distinctly unique cultural atmosphere and things they had never seen before. They also saw various strange and rare items. Goods that were given by Li Xiang could be seen here.
While wandering around, they were constantly learning about the history, development, major events, and all the changes of the Kingdom of Dawn.
The civilians in the city were delighted to share the country’s history without reservation, beaming with pride from the bottom of their hearts.
