Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory.

Chapter 411 The migration begins

The celebration of the establishment of the empire and the celebration of the emperor's coronation that everyone hoped to hold could not be held in the end. The official letter was still a notification, because when Lind returned to King's Landing, he also brought the severe cold from the north to King's Landing, and it snowed in King's Landing.

You know, since the extreme cold weather, it has not snowed in King's Landing for almost ten years, and according to previous experience, this time period happens to be the hottest time in King's Landing.

At this time, rumors about extremely cold weather and long nights and eternal winters began to spread among the people after conscious leaks from various lords and nobles. Although some people still disagreed with this, many people had already paid attention to this issue and made preparations. .

"The extreme cold weather is coming much faster than expected." Linde looked at the falling snow outside the window with a gloomy face and said: "The north of the Great Wall is almost like a land of eternal winter. Human beings simply cannot survive in such an environment for a long time. To survive, I have asked Sansa to mobilize the people in the north to migrate, I hope everything will be in time.”

"Your Majesty, there are already rumors about the Long Night and Eternal Winter among the people. We need..." Intelligence Chief Bahrain asked in a deep voice.

Before Balin could finish speaking, Nymeria, who was sitting next to Lind, spoke: "Now that we already know, there is no need to hide it. The migration plan and list registration plan will be announced to the whole country in advance, and the lords of various places will also decide as soon as possible whether they want to As we move, we don't have much time to play tricks with them." After that, she said to Linde: "The people in Lorne are ready to move at any time."

Daenerys also said: "Qarth and Slaver's Bay are also prepared. As long as the climate changes, they can migrate. The only question is whether there is enough land on the Sothoryos continent for resettlement." us."

Lind did not answer Daenerys's question directly, but took out a piece of information and handed it to her, and asked her to pass it on to others after reading it.

This information is mainly about the progress of the pioneering team. Judging from the data, the pioneering team's exploration of the Sorosos continent was not very smooth at the beginning. Diseases brought by mosquitoes, acclimatization caused by the climate environment, and the hidden in the jungle. Various dangers, etc., made the pioneering team difficult to move forward. In less than a month, more than a thousand people died due to various reasons.

Although the size of the land is not enough to accommodate people from the two continents of Westeros and Essos, people from these two continents will not migrate to the Sothoros continent at the same time. The extremely cold climate would It will take several years to completely cover the two continents. According to the current clearing progress of the pioneering group, and he will continue to increase the size of the pioneering group, it should be possible to clear enough land to accommodate migrants in a few years.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the clerk responded.

"It just tastes unpleasant and has a slight toxin." Bachelor Marwin replied awkwardly: "If you eat it without processing it, you will have hallucinations..."

"Don't worry about food. The food we have stored over the years is enough to feed the entire continent of Westeros and Essos for a year." Bachelor Marwin, who just returned from the pioneering team not long ago, said with excitement: " The land on the Sothoros continent is very fertile, and there is enough rain. Wheat can be harvested every two months, and the Sons of the Forest have also found an extremely high-yielding root plant there. As long as this plant is planted, food will not be a problem at all. "

You must know that the pioneering regiment is composed of the most elite soldiers of the God's Chosen Corps. On the Great Wall, they can fight against the White Walkers and the zombies in a head-on formation. However, such strong warriors did not even see the enemy, and more than a thousand people died. , which also made Linde feel annoyed.

Fortunately, the addition of the casters from the Black Cave and the Children of the Forest allowed the pioneering team to gradually overcome problems such as diseases and begin to develop land at a normal speed. Later, the addition of the stone giants more than doubled the speed of development, and now Slaver's Bay is The Feilongjiao Peninsula and its coastline in the south have all been controlled by Linde, and the islands such as Tears Island, Toad Island, and the Basilisk Islands have also been captured. Now the pioneering team is cleaning up the Yi River Delta. It won't be long before Yimen Tower, Yilin will also be cleared.

"For example, running around the camp without clothes." Before Maester Marwin could finish speaking, Bert, who had also been to the pioneer camp, looked at Maester Marwin and said with a smile, "Just like you, maester."

"Where's the food?" Margaery asked after reading the development report.

Lind did not laugh at Marwin, but through Marwin's description, he thought of a certain plant in the past life that also had toxins and could be used as emergency dry food.

"What are the flaws?" Linde asked directly.

"Are there such good food crops in the world?" Nymeria said in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Maester Marwyn, and a rare look of shyness appeared on Maester Marwyn's ugly old face.

Academician Marwin was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Your Majesty, have you seen this kind of food?"

So, he asked: "How do you clean up the toxins? Do you clean it, grind it into powder, make it into bread, and then bake it in the oven?"

Linde shook his head, and then ordered to the affairs officer on the side: "Draft a reward order to reward those members of the pioneering group who discovered new food crops on the continent of Sothoros."

"All projects have been stopped. We are recruiting shipbuilders to build more large ships." Lind thought for a while, then turned to Nymeria and Daenerys and said, "You have to work hard again. Go back and preside over the migration." Preparation."

"Let me go back!" Nymeria stopped Daenerys from speaking and said: "Let Daenerys stay here to assist you, and Augustus and Myrcella will also stay. The other children will come back with me. Na Saxing.”

After hearing this, Linde nodded in agreement. Later, he ordered some other matters, such as asking the church's forces to assist in the relocation plan, notifying the school city to prepare for the relocation, etc. All matters only designated a general direction without specific implementation methods, because from past experience It seems that the methods formulated in advance often cause a lot of problems when implemented, and will eventually be modified beyond recognition. It is better to specify a general direction and draw a taboo bottom line like now, and the specific methods are left to them to think of.

With the announcement from King's Landing, the people of the entire Westeros and Essos continents, no matter how remote they live, already know that the long night is coming, eternal winter is coming, and soon the extremely cold climate in the north will move south. , and finally plunged the whole world into ice and snow.

The subsequent migration order did not cause much abnormal movement, because there had been preparations for an emergency migration of the White Walkers south not long ago, and everyone had already had an experience, so the overall situation was very stable.

Just as Linde and others had guessed, there was a huge difference in the attitude of the lower class people and the upper class nobles towards the migration order. After the lower class people learned that they were moving to the continent of Sothoryos, they could allocate a piece of land, which was very important to those who did not have land themselves. It is extremely attractive to people, and this migration order is not only targeted at ordinary people, but also serfs who sell themselves to nobles or wealthy businessmen. Once they sign up for migration, their status will automatically become ordinary civilian husbands.

So when the relocation order spread, a large number of people flocked to the registration points near them to sign up for the relocation.

This situation is not a good thing in the eyes of the noble lords. Although Lin De said that if the noble lords are willing to move with him, they will allocate a territory to them in the new land and recognize their territory and title, but the problem is that Lin De De did not indicate how large the divided territory was.

They also all know that the territory they can eventually obtain will definitely not be comparable to what they are now, but they do not want the territory to be too small, so they hope that someone can test the size of the New World territory given by Linde in advance.

In addition, they still have some doubts about the extremely cold climate, because this kind of extremely cold climate happened ten years ago, and it did not last for long at that time, so they think this time it may only last a few months. , won't last long.

No matter what the people who heard the news thought, Linde's migration plan has not changed. It is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the speed of migration is also accelerating. From White Harbor, Miracle Harbor, King's Landing, Sunspear and The cities of Old Town each sent hundreds of cargo ships to transport a large number of people from the Seven Kingdoms to the continent of Essos, then along the coastline to Slaver's Bay, and then southward from Slaver's Bay to the pioneer land.

During the entire migration process, some obstacles were encountered when gathering the migrating people at the beginning. For example, some nobles and lords blocked the people in their territories from leaving, etc. In response, Linde first warned, and then directly sent troops to suppress them, using the most severe means to punish them. It sets a negative example for all those watching.

Among the seven kingdoms, the migration to the north was the smoothest. Without the protection of the Great Wall, the north was completely exposed to the extremely cold climate. The people in the north who were already extremely sensitive to cold felt the disaster coming. So when Sansa mobilized for migration, except for a few lords who were reluctant to part with their territory, everyone else followed the advice and began to migrate as a group. They all left by boat from White Harbor, crossed to Braavos, and then followed Braavos. Vos and the people of Loras moved south together.

Although the location of Braavos and Loras is similar to that of White Harbor, they are not closer to the land of eternal winter like the northern territories of Winterfell. However, compared to the mountains and forests in the north that block the cold wave from the north, Braavos To the north of Si and Loras lies the unshielded, trembling sea.

When the extremely cold weather moves south, there is only light snowfall over White Harbor, while Braavos and Loras are already sealed by ice. The situation in Loras is pretty good. They have mountain springs and rivers to provide them. Drinking water, but Braavos is different. When the extreme cold weather comes, all the canals are frozen and the sea is frozen. Even ships cannot leave. There are towering walls around it, which directly freezes the entire cloth. Lavos became a prison.

Fortunately, Lind had already anticipated this situation, and built a large number of wall towers outside the city of Braavos in time for people to climb. Only then could he provide supplies to the people trapped in Braavos, and at the same time Rescue the people in Braavos and move south.

Compared to Loras and Braavos, cities further north such as Pentos and Norvos are much better because they are blocked by mountains and the cold wave coming from the sea stops at the northern coastline of the Essos continent. Although the climate in these cities is still cold, it is still within acceptable limits.

Because the extreme cold weather was moving south faster than expected, Linde had to expand the pioneering team ten times to explore and expand the dense jungles of the Sothoryos continent. Migration settlements sprung up like mushrooms after rain at the northern end of this mysterious continent. With subsequent development, these settlements will turn into towns and villages.

In the third month after the Great Migration began, the first batch of high lords who took the initiative to migrate, Doran Martell, Shireen Baratheon, Sansa Stark and Mace Tyrell, landed in Soth. In Ross Continent, Linde directly handed over the cleared Yimen Tower, Yilin, Goros and Tears Island to them, and also gave many cleared territories to other lords who accompanied him.

After the territory was distributed, Linde publicly informed the noble lords of the Seven Kingdoms that subsequent lords would no longer receive such generous territory replacements.

Although this made the lords and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms feel a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything more, because the nobles and lords who tried to interfere with the migration plan earlier were their best examples.

Although the migration process went smoothly, the resettlement process encountered some troubles, such as plague and malaria.

In less than three days, all 20,000 migrants in seven settlements fell ill. It was found that it was a plague caused by hot and humid climate. Fortunately, Linde had made arrangements in advance and isolated these people in time. With seven settlements and a large amount of healing herbs prepared, we were able to completely nip the plague in its bud before it spread.

As for malaria, it is basically related to the living habits of the migrants. They are used to defecating everywhere and drinking raw water. For this reason, Linde had to treat them while forcibly changing their living habits through punishment and rewards. , and at the same time, insect repellent grass is burned around the settlement every day to drive away mosquitoes around the settlement and reduce the possibility of getting sick.

Even though Linde had anticipated these problems and made various preparations in advance, more than 2,000 people still died of the disease after all this trouble.

Because Lind did not stop the spread of this news, it quickly spread to the continent of Essos and Westeros. As a result, the originally very enthusiastic migration wave began to become deserted. Many people were worried about migrating to the continent of Sothoros. Later, they will fall ill or die. Moreover, a few months after the first extreme cold weather went south, the climate has warmed up a little. Many people once again feel that the extreme cold weather may be only temporary and not as Linde said. That would lead to a long night and eternal winter, so I decided not to migrate for the time being and wait and see.
