Chapter 14 Refugees (Part 2)
Chapter 14: Refugees (Part 2) ()
"Governor General, we found a large number of refugees on an island in the lower Nidolia River. They were all Greeks, with a population of about seven hundred. Most of them came from Syragu, and some were from Sparta. They said they had a shipwreck while sailing, and then they woke up and arrived on the island."
The words of the messenger were like a thunderbolt, causing Murphy to burst into tears!
He has always been worried about population affairs in his heart, because without population, there is no labor force, and there are not enough soldiers.
When the gnoll is surrounded by standby, without soldiers, the territory will not survive. And he has also lost the greatest reliance and foundation after coming to this world.
"Take me to see." This news shocked Murphy too much.
He must confirm all this in person!
After saying that, he ignored the Marquis Elizabeth who was a little confused, and turned over and went to the port to take a look.
Looking at Murphy's back as he hurriedly left, Marquis Elizabeth bit his lips and silently told himself in his heart that he must now use the power of this person and must learn to be patient and endure!
Not to mention the Marquis of Elizabeth who was ignored by Murphy, the port, which had completed nearly one-third of the progress, is now bustling and bustling.
The road leading from Greek towns to the port is about three kilometers long. The lush grass and trees on the road were burned out. The width of the road was about three meters. Some sand and stones were paved at the place where they left the city, but the coverage was less than one-quarter, and the roads saved had to be renovated. Until all the sand and stones were paved, this simple road was considered completed.
The second half of the road is still muddy. It seemed very muddy after it rained last night. Some places were bumpy and even horses were easily slippery.
Although he was anxious, Murphy had to lead the horse forward in the second half of the journey.
The road repair needs to be completed after the port is established, and there are few weapons in the town. It is urgent to start building a blacksmith shop!
When he arrived at the port, Murphy found that the number of people was not as high as seven hundred.
After asking, he realized that due to the excessive number of people, the simple fishing boats could not be transported at once and could only be transported in batches. Now they are not sent to the ordinary people. However, the leader of this group of refugees, a man who is said to be a captain, has been taken to the port.
Murphy immediately ordered someone to bring the captain.
It was a typical Greek, with all the characteristics that the Greeks should have. The only special thing was that his eyes were light brown with a hint of transparency and sharp eyes, like an eagle.
"Captain Barbosa has seen you, dear Governor! Where is this?" This man, who was about thirty-five years old, was not despised by Murphy's age. He saluted respectfully at Murphy. Then, the man looked around at the solemn general guard behind Murphy and asked.
"I don't know either." Murphy did not answer. Could it be that he told the man in front of him that this was another world?
Murphy was also a little confused at this moment. He looked at the man in front of him and asked, "How did you come here?"
"I can't remember much about the past." Captain Barbosa frowned and looked like he was thinking hard. After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed weakly and said, "I only remember that my fleet encountered great storms! Waves more than ten meters high! And there is also a large vortex with a diameter of more than one kilometer! I seemed to see the statue of the sea god in the center of the vortex! I almost thought I had angered the gods at that time!"
Speaking of this, Captain Barbosa still looked like he was indifferent. He said in a deep voice: "I thought everything was over at that time. I was dead!"
"But when I woke up, I found myself unconscious on a small island. Most of my crew members were still alive!" Captain Barbosa exclaimed: "This must be a gift from the gods! With such a big storm, most of us are still alive!"
"Don't you remember the past?" Murphy's heart was as stormy as the waves were in his heart. He looked into the eyes of the man in front of him and asked carefully.
Captain Barbosa showed a hint of confusion on his face. He thought hard for a long time, but finally couldn't say: "It feels like a dream! Many memories of the past are very blurry. I only remember that I led the fleet to sea and then encountered great storms."
Murphy showed a trace of sympathy on his face very carefully. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Unfortunately, we are the same!"
"But we don't even remember how we came here! We only knew that we came to this land as soon as we woke up." Murphy tried his best to make his expression more realistic. He slowly said in a deep voice: "I think we may be brought to the other side of the sea by the wind and waves! This is a strange continent. And there are many strange creatures living there."
"I think this may be the arrangement of the gods. They hope that we will bring Greek civilization to another continent!" In ancient times, it was necessary to occasionally make a cameo appearance as a charlatan, and Murphy naturally pushed all this onto the gods.
Then, without waiting for Captain Barbosa to reply, he continued, "I think, my friends, you may need some food and have a good night's sleep!"
"There are many monsters similar to myths in this land, and they are very dangerous!" Murphy led him to the rear of the team. During the arrival, Murphy brought about twenty or sowed wolves slaves to the port. They were tied with their hands in shackles and stayed behind the team with a rope. Murphy would leave several Greek infantry guarding them.
The lives of these creatures are not worth much, and this human-eating creature Murphy did not intend to let them live for too long.
But before killing them, Murphy needs to squeeze out their residual value first!
Murphy believed that the soldiers of the town would tell them with whips and swords that they had to learn to work hard to live.
At least for now, he has no loss.
At most, it's just a little effort to kill them again. If they don't work.
A general guard soldier was recruited to take Captain Barbosa to meet the wereggars. Then Murphy called the messenger and said in his ear: "Block the news! You must not let those outsiders know!"
Murphy's eyes were cold and he put his hand on his neck!
The giant thing I saw today made Murphy feel uneasy. He didn't know what was scary in this world.
Before you are strong enough, these messages must be blocked and kept confidential!
