Chapter 134 - 134 103 Immigration_2

134: Chapter 103, Immigration_2 134: Chapter 103, Immigration_2 Unable to exchange for more people, it was not that these lords were unwilling to trade; it was primarily because Baron Hudson, now once again impoverished, did not have enough funds to compensate the other lords.

There’s a limit to buy on credit.

In everyone’s mind, the titles of “Divine Archery Knight”, “Inferior Weapon Arms Dealer” were worth just this much.

If it exceeds their expected value, they would start to worry about his ability to repay.

Even if there were mines in his estate, it could not dispel everyone’s concerns.

After a few days’ delay, the massive convoy was finally organized.

The cattles and horses traded were hitched to the carts, not only for carrying food supplies, but also for carrying children and pregnant women too weak to walk.

To reduce casualties on the road, the benevolent Master Hudson spent a huge sum to hire three priests and dozens of priest apprentices to accompany them.

Despite the size of the medical team being just a drop in the ocean for such a large troop, Hudson really did his best.

It was just over four hundred miles.

If they couldn’t hold on, they could only be ruled out by natural selection.

The original mercenary Guard Team was now passively transformed into the team’s managers.

Hudson could fully understand the endless resentment in the hearts of the knights, but making money was never easy since ancient times.

As the saying goes, “there’s always a catch in high-priced goods”.

Taking Master Hudson’s high bounty, how could they not do some extra work?

The approach proved to be very effective.

Under the watchful eye of the Noble Lord, all the serfs behaved particularly obediently.

Even if countless people did not want to leave their hometown, in front of the Noble Lords, no matter how many complaints they had in their hearts, they dared not express them.

Hudson was powerless about this.

To boost morale, he even slaughtered thirty sheep on the spot along with a wild deer he hunted, to let everyone have a good feast.

Not just that, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Hudson also spent a lot to purchase warm clothing for everyone, even the shoes were worn on everyone’s feet.

Support along the way was also arranged early on.

People were sent to negotiate with friendly nobles to ensure that they could eat hot meals when they arrived at the station.

As for the housing, they could only leave it to luck.

Not every noble could accommodate over ten thousand people.

But just caring for the old and the young was barely possible.

As for others, they had to make do sleeping around a bonfire.

With all the preparations ready, the convoy slowly set off.

Travelling twenty-five miles a day was the limit of the convoy’s speed.

If it were not for the good logistic support along the way, even fifteen miles a day would be hard to achieve.

Riding on a War Horse, hugging the sleeping bear cub in his arms, Hudson couldn’t help but grumble to himself: this damn winter is really…

……

At almost the same time, a convoy of ragged Orc slaves from the Northern Border was being driven south under the lash.

Doghead Race, Pigg, Ratman, Cat People, Minotaur, Goblins…

More than a hundred Orc Species all appeared in the convoy.

Minotaurs, Leopardmen, Boar People possessing some combat power…

Their hands and feet were put in chains, often dozens of them chained together, making escape difficult.

This many Orc Slaves heading south couldn’t go unnoticed.

If it were not for the strong ones being chained up, the local guards probably wouldn’t let them pass.

“Captain, driving these Minotaurs, Leopardmen, Boar People…

south, we can still sell them to the Coliseums in the south and earn a bit.

But what’s the use of sending these junk like Ratmen, Pigg, and Goblins?”

“What are you looking at, Pigg?

We’re talking about you bunches of trash.

You dissatisfied?

Same ancestors, Boar People might not be smart, but at least they are strong.

Unlike you bunch of lazy bastards, who do nothing all day but eat and sleep, even uncivilized pigs are more hard-working than you!”

The soldier’s whip had already lashed out as he spoke.

The unlucky Pigg who got only looked once was instantly whipped into screams.

“Alright, Alicess.

You’ve already whipped three slaves to death on the way here.

If you continue like this, we won’t be able to complete our mission.”

He said it that way, but from the disdainful look in the middle-aged officer’s eyes, it was clear he didn’t care about the lives of these slaves.

In Northland, slaves like Pigg couldn’t even be sold for a silver coin, no buyers around.

The lives of these worthless goods naturally didn’t matter.

“Captain, that’s not my fault.

It’s these pieces of trash who are weak.

They can fall with just a gust of wind.

I didn’t even tried, and they died.

With their condition, I estimate that half of them will fall before we reach Southeastern Province.

If you worry about their lives, you’re going to have a hard time.”

Alicess said gleefully.

“You know they are weak and still you dare to laugh.

Remember, these slaves are commanded by the Grand Duke to be sent to Young Master West.

If there are too many casualties on the way, I won’t be able to fulfil my duty as the captain, and you won’t be able to have a good life.”

The middle-aged officer said with a frustrated face.

Although he referred to him as Young Master West verbally, he didn’t regard Baron West as a young Master at heart in his mind.

Not being able to receive the surname of the Felix Clan determined the depreciation of the two words “young master”.
