Chapter 1207: 1208 Refugee Camp
In the South Island, in a camp full of tents, a group of goblins were crowding next to a well, queuing up to fetch water for use.
There is only one well for dozens of miles around here, and the surrounding dozens of miles are crowded with goblins, or goblin refugees.
They left their homes because of the war and then found themselves losing their land and houses and never being able to return to their hometowns.
The troops of the Tang Empire occupied those places, knocked down the houses, and blew up the buildings, leaving only a mess.
Immediately afterwards, orc laborers and various large-scale construction machinery appeared. Tall cement buildings rose from the ground. Houses were built everywhere, roads were built, railway tracks were connected, and airport runways were laid.
The nearby farmland has also become a place with owners. Those humans who came all the way from the Tang Empire naturally became the new owners of this land.
What? Not convinced? Go and reason with the soldiers of the Tang Empire! Go ahead, as long as you can persuade the other party's bayonets and bullets, and convince the other party's tanks and aircraft, then this land is yours!
The owners of the new land do not need the goblins to stay and farm for them, because the other party has tractors, advanced farming machinery, and more useful and obedient orc slaves to use.
At least in terms of loyalty, orcs are much higher than goblins. Next door is Paradise Island. As long as these orc slaves work harder, they can be freed soon and enjoy a more comfortable life on this island.
So the orcs who came to the South Island and the New Island were full of fanaticism for the Tang Empire. These fanatical orcs are obviously more popular with humans than the defeated natives.
Maintaining order are the orc troops. These orcs come back from the main island in rotation to rest, prepare and rest in the rear, and act as security forces to manage all the goblins.
Various conflicts between orcs and goblins have broken out before, and the relationship between the two is naturally not good.
Just when a few orc soldiers, carrying rifles on their backs, stood aside and looked coldly at the long line of people fetching water in the goblin refugee camp, they suddenly heard the screams of goblins.
Soon some goblins were crying and some were shouting. It turned out that someone had just sent the news of Mirage's defeat and surrender.
These goblins were unwilling to accept such a cruel fact, so there were riots. However, the orc soldiers were too lazy to care how sad these goblins were, because the sadness of the goblins happened to be the joy of the orcs.
This island already belongs to the orcs! These orc soldiers knew the news earlier. Compared to the goblins in the refugee camp, the orcs' information channels are obviously faster.
After all, there is no electricity in the refugee camp, so it is impossible to listen to the radio: although the Tang Empire has produced radios that can hold batteries, it is obviously not available to civilians in the Mirage Kingdom.
In fact, with the exception of the Tang Empire, the popularity of various new equipment in other countries was not very fast.
Nowadays, after years of promotion, the penetration rate of televisions is still not high, let alone the new color TV technology of the Tang Empire.
Most areas only have access to electricity, radios, and some entertainment activities.
There are not many channels on the radio, and most of the programs played on it are recorded. Various programs from the Tang Empire: there are stories praising the heroic battles of the Tang Empire’s army, storytelling praising the heroes of the Tang Empire’s army, and some Hymns, music, and advertising…
It is a pity that the Mirage Kingdom, which has been busy building warships, cannot quickly popularize these things, so it is difficult for the local goblin people to have access to any advanced gadgets.
Hence, the news of yesterday's surrender was not heard one after another by the goblins on the South Island until today. After they learned the bad news, they naturally started to mourn.
The female goblins in the prison camp cried together, and the male goblins also sat together and sighed. They heard the news that they were going to be sent to Beidao, and at the same time they also heard that Mirage Country was renamed Beidao.
Now they are no longer from the Mirage country, but from the North Island... The question is, how can the North Island afford to support so many people?
A truck equipped with a loudspeaker drove to the gate of the refugee camp, and the voice of the Mirage King announcing the surrender and truce was broadcast from the loudspeaker.
The human officer led by him walked into the refugee camp with a few soldiers, and called the orc officer responsible for guarding the goblins, as well as several people in charge of the refugee camp.
“Let everyone pack their things and prepare to board the ship.” The human officer took off his white gloves, tapped the side of his pants twice, and ordered: “We must leave within 2 hours. If you miss the time, you will be punished.”
"Sir... the time is too tight." A goblin manager said anxiously about the difficulty: "They are all ordinary people, and it will take a lot of time to get them moving."
"It's okay, you don't have to leave. After two hours, let your people take action." The human officer looked at the orc officer who was eager to take action, and ordered: "Everyone who stayed behind voluntarily should be cleaned up. This is an order. ” ˆ ˆ “Yes, sir! Clean up in 2 hours!” The orc officer stood at attention and saluted with a scary posture.
"My lord! My lord!" Several goblin stewards turned pale with fright after hearing the human officer's order, and they all begged for mercy: "Please give me a little more time, please."
“Set the time now.” The human officer glanced at his watch, and then returned to the car at the gate with a few soldiers.
The orcs left behind had malicious smiles on their faces, which made these goblin stewards lose any desire to delay. They immediately left with the news, followed by an uproar throughout the camp.
The goblins, who were still crying and fighting just now, instantly started to panic. Some goblins began to pack their luggage, some began to look for their children, and some began to dismantle their tents.
"Leave the tent alone! You won't be allowed to take it with you!" A goblin manager pointed at a few goblin civilians and cursed.
Where is there any place on the ship for the goblins to make tents or something like that? That's a cabin where every inch of land is precious! There was no room for goblin civilians to bring a bunch of rags.
Although they thought about this, these goblins did not expect that it was already the end of December and the weather was already very cold. They went to the North Island along the way and had no supplies. How could they survive?
The fact is that the Tang Empire had no intention of caring about the life and death of the goblins. As for the Mirage Kingdom, it has no ability to care about the life and death of these civilians. The Tang Empire wanted to improve efficiency, but the Mirage Emperor simply couldn't afford to support so many people.
They will soon find out that they will be thrown directly into the cabin, transported to the North Island and left on the dock, with nothing to survive half the winter.
What's even worse is that it has started to snow in the North Island. It is covered in white snow and silver, which is particularly enchanting. Goblin civilians, who had almost no preparations for the winter and no houses, had to go to the North Island to survive in this situation.
"Hurry up! Don't take those useless things! Watch my son!" On the other side, in the messy open space, a goblin was yelling at his mother-in-law.
Amidst the shouting, several orc soldiers strode past with submachine guns on their backs. They were ordered to clear the entire refugee camp in more than an hour, and for a group of warriors, they certainly understood what clearing meant.
On the surrounding small high ground, the Orc troops have set up MG42 machine guns. These machine guns will fire whenever there is any disturbance.
That will be a massacre! All those who do not obey the orders of the master of the Tang Empire deserve nothing but to have their blood drained from their bodies!
Of course some goblins will escape, after all, there are tens of thousands of goblin refugees here. However, these escaped goblins will soon discover that no matter how they run, they are only delaying their time to board the ship.
The Tang Empire transport ship waiting to be bound for the North Island is waiting at the pier. Once it is full of people, it will leave. The goblins scattered on the South Island will be escorted to the port pier in batches, waiting to board the ship.
In the end, those escaping goblins will be caught, because on the South Island, where theoretically there are no goblins, any goblin without documents will cause enough vigilance.
Similarly, similar migration activities are also taking place on the new island. The Tang Empire is not a charity. The officers and local officials who execute the orders will never delay the immigration plan because of the cold weather.
As long as one boatload of humans arrives, more than three boatloads of goblins must leave! That's the rule! It is stipulated in the South Island and New Island Immigration Plan.
Those goblins who don’t listen and obey orders will really be cleaned up! As long as fleeing goblins are found, they will often be shot and killed instead of catching them back.
The most conservative estimate is that three million goblins will die during this migration. In fact, the number of goblins who died is close to 5 million!
You must know that most of the population of goblins in the Mirage Kingdom is concentrated in the three southern islands, and the northern island has the smallest population. Now that tens of millions of people are being sent to the North Island, one-fifth of them will be killed or injured, which is already considered a miracle.
Soon these goblins could no longer cry: they discovered that the destruction of the Mirage Kingdom was just the beginning, and countless sufferings were waiting for them behind!
They have to build houses and find shelter on the North Island, and at the same time they have to cultivate farmland, dig ore and build roads... They also have to build cities, expand ports, continue to feed a group of aristocratic borers, and are exploited and squeezed by the Tang Empire.
Without supplies and food shortages, they have to work two or three times as much. They have to work non-stop so that they can have a house to live in and food to eat when the next winter comes.
Comparatively speaking, winter seems gentle.
