Early in the morning.
David was still shameless.
But before he could pick up his gun to fight again, a burst of urgent horn sounded suddenly.
This was a real horn sound, coming from the north of Frostwolf Ridge.
Most of his anger dissipated instantly, and he frowned and looked at the north.
"Master David, what happened?"
Leah held the lord's hands, looking puzzled.
Amy also poked her ostrich head out of the quilt, with worry on her face.
"Maybe something happened."
David stood up, put on a coat and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Huo Wu was holding a brand new quilt, standing expressionless.
Shui Lian was setting the table.
"You go serve the lady, I can do it myself."
David was indeed a little anxious. Without waiting for the two sisters to change his clothes, he put on his clothes in a few seconds, quickly went downstairs, and came to the castle reception room.
Sure enough, the Grey Wolf Knight was waiting here.
"What happened?" David asked directly.
"There are refugees."
Hearing the words of the Grey Wolf Knight, David was certain in his heart.
He quickly ordered, "Send someone to lead all these refugees to the temporary gathering place, and let the clerk go over to register their information."
"The temporary gathering place has always been guarded by someone." Gray Wolf Knight said.
David and Gray Wolf Knight walked out while talking.
This refugee disaster is a huge threat to Frost Wolf Ridge. He must deal with this matter well and create a good environment for the next dual cultivation.
If he loses Frost Wolf Ridge, he will really have to sleep in the wild with his wife.
...
Frost Wolf Ridge settlement.
It is called a settlement, but in fact it is a small and simple camp located in the wilderness. Some low and tattered tents and stone piles are gathered in the lee of the rock wall, barely protecting the refugees from the cold wind from the north.
But even so, for these refugees, this is also a rare place of shelter, so that they don't have to wander in the wilderness and endure the cold.
Moreover, they also saw a large amount of thatch piled up. If they can use this thatch, they can keep out the cold even if it snows.
Looking at everything in front of them, a large number of refugees burst into tears. They were constantly expelled by nobles from other territories along the way. Only the lord in front of them did not expel them. He also built a temporary camp for them and sent a lot of straw.
"Everyone, be honest."
"Come here to register. After registration, you will have a piece of black bread."
The clerk shouted loudly, breathing out continuously. Although it was just the beginning of winter, the weather was already very cold, and it must be not far from snowing.
Originally, these refugees lined up very obediently, and after hearing that there was black bread to eat, a large number of refugees even began to consciously maintain order, fearing that they would accidentally lose this hard-earned food source.
When David and the Gray Wolf Knight arrived at the settlement, there was already a long queue here. After the refugees completed the registration, they would get food and straw, and then they could find a place to live in the temporary settlement.
"Are there any girls of marriageable age? You can line up separately."
The Grey Wolf Knight suddenly said, "The castle is planning to recruit a group of maids. If anyone can be favored by the lord, it will be a chance to rise to the top in one step."
After hearing this, the crowd became a little agitated, and then a girl with a dusty face came out, wanting to seize this opportunity.
With this girl taking the lead, some other girls came out to line up.
The clerk followed the Grey Wolf Knight's instructions and asked the girl to wash her face with water, and then began to register her information. The various identity information was registered very clearly, making David seem to have come to a large marriage market in a trance.
He naturally knew what the Grey Wolf Knight meant by doing this. The Grey Wolf Knight was really worried about the Frost Wolf Family having an heir as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, ordinary people did not help his cultivation.
And people with special talents and bloodlines are not so easy to find.
After collecting the information of the girls separately, David and the Grey Wolf Knight began to start the purpose of their trip, recruiting refugees in the field to form a militia.
"Now, the camp is recruiting militia to maintain order in the camp."
"Those who want to join the militia can sign up." David said in a deep voice.
Hearing his words, the young and middle-aged people among the refugees were all excited. If they could become militiamen in the camp, they would definitely have enough food in the future!
The Grey Wolf Knight was personally responsible for recruiting members of the militia team and selecting some refugees who looked healthy and could fight.
Although there must be many wandering knights and mercenaries with ulterior motives among them, there should also be some real wandering knights.
Frost Wolf Ridge let these refugees form a militia team, and these militias can also monitor each other, so that the camp becomes orderly.
A direct and simple move, but the purpose of those wandering knights and mercenaries who planned to fish in troubled waters was ruined. If these wandering knights and mercenaries really dared to make any unusual moves, these refugees in the camp would not let them go!
When the disaster of refugees is over, if these militias can pass the test, they can also be directly added to the militia team of Frost Wolf Ridge, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone!
...
At this time in the camp.
Some people were also discussing in a low voice.
"Princess, do we really have to stay here?"
A wandering knight among the refugees asked the dusty girl beside him in a low voice, with uncontrollable worry on his face.
Ever since the Ice Crown Duke's rebellion,
he took the little princess of the Crystal Song Kingdom and fled all the way.
Although they finally escaped to the Silver Moon Kingdom, the pursuers of the Ice Crown Duke still did not stop looking for them. They didn't know whether it was safe here.
"So far, this is the best hiding place."
"The Frost Wolf Family was once the king of the North. Although it has fallen, it must still have a foundation and may be able to protect us." Princess Crystal Song said.
Immediately, she looked at the line of girls. If she applied for a maid with her appearance, she would definitely pass, right?
"Princess, you are the princess of the Crystal Song Kingdom!"
The wandering knight's face changed.
Even if the Crystal Song Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Ice Crown Duke, it cannot change the noble status of the princess. The princess, who has the blood of the snow demon, is the recognized king of all the tribes in the polar regions and can rule all the ice tribes!
"Don't worry, I don't want to be a maid."
"I just want to know how to get the help of Duke Frostwolf."
The princess frowned.
She was too weak now.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the Ice Crown Duke, she must seek help.
Moreover, she must find allies in the Silver Moon Kingdom and find a way to return to the Crystal Song Kingdom and take it back from the Ice Crown Duke.
