Chapter 225 She said... She is your mother! Come to recognize the relatives!(1/2)
To everyone's expectation, the sudden snowstorm that swept across most of the Northland did not last long. Instead, after roaring and raging for a day and two nights, it suddenly stopped in the early morning of the third day.
But even so, the immigrants who had just experienced a war generally did not get much rest. After pushing open their tents with some difficulty, what came into view was a crystal white northern scenery. The snow outside the camp in the distance
, it can even reach the waist of an adult man, giving it a feeling of surviving a disaster.
The immigrants keenly noticed something strange, that is, the sky above the entire camp seemed to be shrouded in a huge translucent spiritual light.
After the biting cold wind penetrated this invisible 'wall', it became 'gentle' and warm.
It is precisely because of the existence of this [Windproof Barrier] that they, ordinary people without any extraordinary abilities, were able to survive such a natural disaster-like snowstorm.
Otherwise, just the biting cold wind could blow their tent, which was not very tight, into the sky at any time.
"Thank you to the Guardian Dragon for your blessing!"
This is the prayer that many Silver Moon immigrants pray after getting up in the morning.
Many of them still thought that it was Silverwing and the gryphon who defeated the orcs and protected them.
Although this windproof barrier is indeed the result of Silver Wings
However, sparse cries of despair can still be heard in the camp at this moment.
Although strictly speaking, that battle was a miracle compared to the casualties of the orcs, but war is war. Even if the support from Cavans Ratmen Chapter and Levi was relatively timely, the number of casualties in the entire camp still reached five
One hundred and forty-two people.
The number of injured was at least four to five times that number, and most of them were jackals and gray dwarves on the front line.
In comparison, these Silver Moon immigrants, who had little fighting power, actually suffered relatively small losses.
However, the fallen in the battle damage list statistics may only be one of the cold numbers, an ordinary name, but in reality, it means that a family may have lost its backbone, and the wife has lost her beloved one.
The husband and children lost their father.
This also means that they have lost the most important labor force in the family and the support they can rely on.
Such tragic examples are not uncommon around them, and such families will often quickly fall to the bottom of society, trying their best to live, and just live, like humble maggots.
Therefore, they were so desperate that it was difficult for them to understand the state of another group of immigrants in the camp not far away.
Many of their family members also died in the war, but most of them usually become stronger after a night of mourning and remembering.
For example, right now, Herbert's family saw many female gnolls who had lost their husbands and were shoveling the snow in front of their tents with their children.
While shoveling, he was still telling the heroic deeds of the child's father in not very standard common language, and even encouraged his children who have not yet grown up to follow his father's example in the future, and in the near future, he will also become a father.
A glorious warrior of Zeelandia, guarding his homeland, seemingly without the slightest concern about his future life and destiny.
Further away, the gray dwarves installed a set of shovels on the steam locomotives and began the efficient snow shoveling project.
It's just that these gray dwarf drivers obviously don't have much experience in shoveling snow. They often shovel, and their motorcycles are buried in the snow piled up in front. Then a group of gray dwarf drivers hurriedly got out of the car and hurriedly shoveled these unlucky guys.
Dig it out.
"My dear, do you think they will be sent back to Silvermoon City by the lord here? How should they survive?"
Herbert's wife looked at the Silver Moon compatriots who came to this camp with some pity and asked.
If it were normal times, Herbert would definitely say: 'Everyone has his or her own destiny, there is nothing we can do about it, don't think about it too much'
But after that legendary war, Herbert thought about it and analyzed: "I don't think so, otherwise Lord Levi would not recruit so many orphans from Silver Moon City. Don't worry too much, the lord will
It’s arranged.”
Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a wolf cavalry riding a monitor lizard holding a temporary large lama made of iron sheet and informed people:
"The lord has an order! Everyone gathers in the newly built cemetery in the west of the city to attend the funeral of the heroes who died in this battle!"
"The lord has an order"
Herbert and his wife looked at each other.
When can these temporarily recruited militiamen be called heroes?
The funeral process was not long, but solemn enough.
All those who died in battle were cremated individually and buried neatly on a beautiful hill in the Griffin Mountains west of the city.
On the grave mounds that are not high, V-shaped tablets of the same size are inserted, and the lives of the fallen are engraved on them.
Maybe they were just ordinary farmers in the past, someone who was not even officially recorded in Silvermoon City, but at this moment, they all had the same ending:
Killed in the battle on the banks of the Sebring River!
Zeelandia’s fallen hero!
After all of them lined up to pay tribute to the deceased, they finally saw their new lord again.
Originally, these Silver Moon immigrants only thought that this elf businessman would be like the Supreme Lady of the Silver Moon Federation, saying some compassionate and generous words, and then grant them some pensions that could barely survive.
But they didn’t expect that after Levi’s brief opening remarks and passionate speech, he actually dropped a bombshell on people:
"According to the first version of the "Regulations on the Commendation of the Fallen Heroes of Zeelandia" formulated by our temporary meeting of Zeelandia,
"From now on, all family members of heroes recruited by Zeelandia and killed in the war will be issued a "Zelandia Heroic Certificate" by the Zeelandia Ministry of Government.
“Family members of heroes and martyrs are family members of martyrs, including the parents, spouses, children and younger siblings of heroes and martyrs under the age of 16, as well as other relatives who raised heroes and martyrs, and can enjoy pension benefits in accordance with relevant regulations.
"The pension standard for heroes is 30 times the per capita disposable income of Zeelandia in the previous year when the heroes died. Based on last year's calculation, the families of the deceased will be able to receive 36.84 Hog Wolf Head gold coins from the Zeelandia Government Affairs Department.
.
“If there are only children under the age of 16 left in the family members of the heroes, Zelandia will be responsible for raising the children until they reach adulthood, and their pensions will be paid out gradually over ten years after they reach adulthood.
“If family members of heroes and martyrs do not have professional skills, they can apply for jobs to the Zelandia Government Affairs Department, and Zelandia will give priority to their job positions.
"above!"
As Levi's new regulations were read out, even the old people who had long been accustomed to Zelandia's style couldn't help but breathe when they heard that they could get as many as thirty-six Hog Wolf Head gold coins at one time.
A lag.
The Hogg Wolf Head series of coins are gold coins issued to commemorate Hogg, the first lord of Zeelandia. Due to their high gold content, exquisite production, and strong purchasing power, they were quickly accepted by the people of Zeelandia, and even many people went to court.
The drow nobles in the city will also secretly collect some, even though Gelthorne's official government does not recognize this new currency.
Most of the time, ordinary people only need copper coins and silver coins for daily life. Many people have never seen what the so-called Huo Langtou gold coin looks like, but they know that it takes forty-two silver coins to exchange for one gold coin.
On weekdays, a Huo Gou Huo Lang head silver coin is enough to sustain basic daily necessities for about a week.
Nearly thirty-seven Hog gold coins are already considered a windfall!
If you don't spend money carelessly, you can live your whole life without too much pressure.
Even the Silver Moon immigrants who had no idea about the purchasing power of the so-called Hogkin's Big Head knew that this was a considerable amount of wealth when they saw the other people breathing heavily.
And even if this pension is ignored, it is unheard of that the orphans can be raised by the government until adulthood and have the opportunity to apply for jobs for their families.
At that time, these Silver Moon immigrants, whose eyes suddenly turned red, finally understood why those female jackals were so calm.
Perhaps before this, the territory called Zeelandia already had similar policies and regulations.
Just when Herbert, who was in a daze, took his family, who were also full of hope for the future, back to the camp canteen to solve the breakfast problem, he suddenly discovered that the canteen had previously been guest-starred as the "cooking aunt" by the Jackal warriors.
, have all been replaced by family members of heroes and martyrs.
And one of them turned out to be an old acquaintance whom his wife had pitied and sympathized with before.
"This is a bit fast."
Herbert suddenly felt uncomfortable with such an efficient speed of executing government orders.
“I feel like it’s quite relaxing to work here. I don’t know where to apply”
Herbert's wife instantly became a little sour.
The corner of Herbert's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
‘Women are so fickle’
While they were eating, a huge crystal plate above the cafeteria window suddenly lit up amidst people's surprises. Two gray dwarves were there holding hammers and wrenches, hammering and tinkering with it.
Suddenly, behind a noise and a black and white screen, a lot of information written in Common Language burst out.
Just when Herbert, an illiterate man, had his eyes darkened, a young lady with a sweet voice began to announce in the entire cafeteria hall:
"Good morning to all citizens of Zeelandia, this is the mission collection board in the new city of Zeelandia, Minas Tirith, dedicated to serving all people's job application issues."
"Broadcast now:
"Application No. #c01: Zelandia is currently recruiting 800 migrant workers for sewer construction. They are led by Zelandia Construction Engineering. There will be unified training before joining the job, including teaching and training, and the salary is negotiable.
"Application number #b01: The 'Minas Tirith Great Wall Project' in the north of the city has been officially launched. In order to prevent the orcs from attacking in the early spring, the lord has decided to build a temporary 'Great Wall' at the northern pass. Those with experience in building city walls will be given priority and will receive preferential treatment.
The daily food ration includes a piece of fat fish head.
"Application number #a01: The board of directors of Hoge Mining passed the meeting vote, and Hoge Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hoge Mining, was officially established! The current recruitment positions are as follows

"Application number #c02: Construction of Chengdong New City Port has officially started. Applicants with fishermen resumes will be given priority. The minimum requirement is that they can swim."
Seeing the huge amount of information on this magical 'big billboard' constantly refreshing like a waterfall, and the rapid broadcast of that sweet voice, the immigrants dining in the canteen were first excited by the sweet voice, thinking that there is such a thing
