Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

While both of them were thinking secretly.

The carriage suddenly began to jolt. Gray came back to his senses and found that the tall houses built with whole stones outside the window had disappeared, replaced by some houses built with gravel and wood, and some were even built with some rags and wood. tent up.

Most of the people on this road were wearing rags and had empty eyes.

Looking at the sallow and thin people, Gray was a little surprised.

Although Thorns City was not as prosperous as he imagined, to be honest, Thorns City was already one of the largest cities in the kingdom.

Even if there were slums, there shouldn't be so many naked people.

Gray took a closer look and found that these people wandering in the slums were not aborigines here.

Most of them were dressed in rags and had their families with them.

The real aborigines are now in front of their own residences, watching these people wandering on the streets with vigilance.

It was obvious that the aboriginal people in the slums were dressed differently from the sallow and skinny people wandering around.

The aboriginal people in the slums are still people from Thorn City. Although their clothes are dirty, they are still barely intact.

Even if someone has a hole in their clothes, they will patch it up.

And it seems that they are malnourished, but they are much better than those who are sallow and thin.

"Are these refugees?"

Gray instantly realized the identities of those around the carriage.

Tina nodded when she heard this: "Yes, some time ago, Black Rock City to the west was attacked by monsters, and a large number of refugees were destroyed and relocated. What you saw was only a very small part."

"The vast majority of people were killed by monsters the moment the city fell, and the rest died on the road. Those who can reach Thorn City are the only ones favored by fate. "

Listening to Tina's words, Gray thought about the situation near the East Leyte Mountains to the west of the kingdom.

To the west of the kingdom, the territory headed by the Field family is close to the East Leyte Mountains.

There are a lot of monsters wandering in the East Leyte Mountains.

As the city closest to the East Wright Mountains in Field Territory, Blackstone City is also the bridgehead for Field Territory to monitor and defend against monsters.

The Field Army and a large number of adventurers have always been stationed there.

There are strong and complete defenses around it, and there have been almost no accidents there for decades.

It is known as the solid stone against the demonic tide, which is also the origin of the name of Black Rock City.

Unexpectedly, such a strong city was actually attacked?

"Blackstone City was breached? Wasn't the defense network torn open? Has the monster entered the Field Territory?"

Gray was a little shocked. No wonder Tina always said that the Countess was very busy.

At first, he thought it was just an excuse because he didn't want to see him, but he didn't expect it to be true.

The Black Rock City defense line is Field Territory's strongest and most important line of defense against the monsters from East Wright.

Once it is lost, the monsters will march in and poison the civilians in the territory.

"It was breached, but it was recaptured a day later, but the fortifications were completely destroyed. We only regained a dilapidated city. Lady Anna has already started to rebuild Black Rock City."

There was some pride in Tina's tone. The strength of the Field family should not be underestimated. Although Blackstone City was breached, it was quickly taken back by them.

The monsters in the territory have almost been eliminated.

In terms of force, Tina can indeed be proud of the Field family.

It's just that Tina's proud look didn't last long before it turned into a worried look.

"Although Lady Anna has retaken Blackstone City, the problems in Field territory have not yet been resolved. These refugees have become Lady Anna's heartache. Blackstone City is still being rebuilt. Other cities, even Thorn City, cannot accept them in one go. There are so many people, and there are news of refugee riots in the territory every day, alas..."

Gray could almost imagine the situation of refugees in Field's area at this moment, and the consequences they would bring.

They are also poor people.

But there were too many of them.

Blackstone City was originally a giant fortress city.

Among them, the permanent population reaches more than 30,000, and the floating population is even larger.

A large number of adventurers and businessmen travel to and from Blackstone City.

With such a large population, even if 90% of them died, there would still be tens of thousands of people left.

Although the Field family is wealthy, it is a headache to support so many people in one go and to open up new residences for them.

Not to mention, there are many people with poor lives now pretending to be refugees and waiting for relief every day.

In fact, the total number of "refugees" the Field family needs to support is far more than 10,000.

The migration of refugees also had a great impact. Many bandits and bandits even sneaked into the refugee ranks, taking advantage of cities and towns to take in refugees and looting the cities.

It can be said that the current refugees have become a moving natural disaster in everyone's eyes.

Wherever you go, there will be misfortune.

If the countess hadn't insisted on rescuing the refugees, these people would have been dealt with long ago.

The current situation is that refugees are everywhere, and robbers and bandits are also mixed in.

There are even a large number of fake refugees hanging in there, eating and drinking for free.

Although Thorn City can still hold on and can provide them with food, the other towns below are already unable to withstand it.

And if they are not properly accepted, the refugees will be instigated by well-intentioned people and engage in violent conflicts with urban residents.

Clashes between refugees and urban residents have become increasingly violent in recent days.

The countess is worried that these refugees will become a new source of chaos, and is asking all nobles to try their best to appease the refugees and ensure their basic living environment.

Just with little success.

After all, not every small noble has wealth like the Field family.

Coupled with the fact that there are a large number of fake refugees among the refugees, the general small nobles will choose a simpler way to deal with them.

That is keeping refugees out.

Those towns without city walls suffered because there were not as many residents as there were refugees. In addition, the refugees were so hungry that they would desperately grab food.

So wherever refugees pass through, a large number of residents become new refugees.

Under this negative cycle, the situation in Fieldland will get worse and worse.

Listening to the maid's sigh, Gray realized that this was a good opportunity.

He changed his mind and said, "Tina, if I can solve the problem of these refugees, can I meet Miss Anna?"

Gray's words made Tina a little shocked.

Tina glanced at Gray: "If you can really solve this problem, I think Lady Anna will be impressed by you and will most likely agree to your request."

Gray's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay! That's it!"
