Chapter 627: The Zas Seeking Refuge
When he returned to the city, he stationed the imposter dragon at the outpost, and immediately saw Mia, the deputy commander of the Air Force, riding Ruruto in front of him.
"Master Keane!" Mia dismounted from her mount and knelt down on one knee in front of him.
"Raise your hand and salute after all that's said!" Jia Zhengjin reminded.
Mia immediately stood up and saluted unfamiliarly.
"What's the matter?" Mia didn't just come to say hello, werewolves weren't so boring. Jia Zhengjin asked her directly.
Mia stood up and replied respectfully, "Not long ago, a group of guests came from outside the city, and they have something to ask to see Lord Keane! Lady Tina has asked our air force to keep an eye on the surrounding areas of the city, and if they find out that you are back, they will report to you immediately!"
"Which country's envoy is it?"
"I don't understand what they're saying!" replied Mia honestly, "and Lady Tina didn't tell me more. But it doesn't look like an emissary, their team feels like it's all civilians!"
"Civilians?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "where did the refugees come from?"
"I don't know!" Mia shook her head.
"Where are the people?" Since people are here to see him, of course Jia Zhengjin can't slack off. According to his thoughts, it was probably refugees from a nearby country who came to seek asylum.
"Lady Tina temporarily arranged them outside the city and set up tents for them to rest. ”
"Outside the city?" Jia Zhengjin said in his heart that if there were refugees, he would take them in and arrange them directly in the new city? Why did Tina do so much and leave them outside the city? Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Didn't Tina say why?"
Mia shook her head, indicating that she really didn't know.
"How many people are there?"
"748 people in total!" Mia replied accurately, "all by the walls of the South Gate at the moment!"
"Okay, I see!" Although Jia Zhengjin was confused, he immediately went to the south gate. He came back from the north gate, and of course he could not see it from a city.
When I rushed to the south gate, I found that the city wall was full of tents. There were a lot of Imperial soldiers patrolling the perimeter of the tent, which should have been specially arranged by Perrin.
"Lord Keane!" Before they reached the tent, the rabbis, who was leading the patrol around the area, immediately came over to salute.
"Where's Tina?" Jia Zhengjin glanced at the dense tent, and the so-called guests didn't seem to come out of the tent.
"Lady Tina has arranged this and is back to the city!" replied the rabbi.
"What's going on here?" Jia Zhengjin asked, pointing to the tent.
"Lord Keane!" replied the rabbi respectfully, "while you were away, this party suddenly came to us seeking refuge! ”
"Since they are refugees who have come to seek asylum, can't they just be brought directly to the city?" Jia Zhengjin wondered, "Why are they arranged outside the city gate?"
"There's a reason for that!" Rabbi said hurriedly, "Lady Tina is worried that they will cause panic when they enter the city and mingle with the other residents of the Holy Dragon City!"
"What do you mean?" Jia Zhengjin frowned.
"Lord Keane, let the person leading this team explain it to you personally! Please wait!" said the rabbi respectfully.
Jia Zhengjin nodded and looked in the direction of the tent suspiciously.
The rabbi quickly turned around, ran to the big tent closest to the city gate, and shouted to it: "Lord Keane is here, please ask the leader of the team to come out for an interview!"
Jia Zhengjin stared intently at the tent, and soon saw a group of men, women, and children dressed in different clothes coming out of it. There were more than 30 people in this tent, and all of them walked towards them together.
The group included warriors in iron armor, magicians with staffs, apothecaries with potion symbols, and burly orcs. Looking at the weapons and armor of each of them, there are specific mercenary insignias. In the crowd, there are even a few familiar faces!
Phyllis, the leader of the Four-Star Grass Mercenary Group, Charlotte and Reddy, members of the Four-Star Grass Mercenary Group, are all there, and it seems that four or five new members have been added, and each of them has a four-star grass badge on their equipment.
The other group of mercenaries had the insignia on their equipment with two crossed swords and a fiery red rose in between. Most of the members are young and beautiful women.
Why are they members of the mercenary group? Why are they here? Jia Zhengjin wondered in his heart, could it be these mercenaries who sought refuge? Did they commit something?
Just as he was thinking about it, Phyllis, the leader of the Four-Star Grass Mercenary Regiment, came out of the team side by side with another orange waist-length hair, wearing tight swordsman armor, and a hot body, and walked in front of Jia Zhengjin. The two of them knelt down on one knee at the same time and performed the courtesy of meeting the nobles: "Phyllis Stewart, the leader of the Four-Star Grass Mercenary Regiment (Leah Canterbury, the leader of the Sword and Rose Mercenary Regiment), meet Lord Keane!"
The Sword and the Rose Mercenary Regiment? I think I've heard Matru talk about it before.
Jia Zhengjin nodded, motioned for the two mercenary group leaders to get up, and then glanced at the members behind him: "You came to my Holy Dragon City to seek refuge?
The leader of the mercenary group of Swords and Roses turned to look at Phyllis.
Phyllis straightened her hair and said to Jia Zhengjin respectfully: "Master Kean, you have misunderstood! It was not our mercenary group that came to the Holy Dragon City to seek refuge, but the refugees rescued by our mercenary group on the way to the cooperative mission! Your benevolence and virtue are praised in all directions, and everyone who has heard of it knows that you are broad-minded, willing to accept the suffering people of all ethnic groups, and treat everyone equally! It is precisely because of your kindness that we have sent these refugees here, praying that you can take them in and give them a stable home!"
Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, although Jia Zhengjin knows that Phyllis's words have a lot of sycophants, but they are comfortable to listen to. He nodded at the moment and said, "In the construction stage of my Holy Dragon City, there is indeed a great demand for the population! If a refugee comes to take refuge, he will naturally arrange a place for them to live!"
"It's better to be famous than to meet!Lord Keane's benevolence, let me admire you!" Leah, the leader of the Sword and Rose Mercenary Regiment, smiled happily, "I am very grateful to you on behalf of the Zas refugees!"
"Zas?" was another name he had never heard of, and Jia Zhengjin asked curiously, "Where did they come from?
"Uh~" Phyllis showed a hint of hesitation on her face.
"What's wrong? Can't you say?" Jia Zhengjin asked with a frown.
"No!" Phyllis and Leah looked at each other, then turned to look at Jia Zhengjin and said cautiously, "The Zas do not belong to any country at the moment, they are the inhabitants of the Swamp Valley. Because recently, an evil necromancer has recently appeared in the Swamp Valley, killing the people of the Zath tribe and refining them into terrifying skeleton warriors. Several of our mercenary groups joined forces to conquer, and after paying a terrible price, we finally succeeded in defeating each other! It's just that the necromancer turned the swamp valley into a poisonous valley, and it is no longer possible for the remaining Zas people to survive. That's why I specially proposed to bring them to the Holy Dragon City to seek refuge!"
"I see!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Then how many of them are there?"
"There are 543 men, women, and children combined, and the rest are our fellow mercenary group!" replied Phyllis, "Lord Keane, are you really willing to accept the Zass clan?"
"As long as it is a refugee, I can accept it here! But you must abide by my laws, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Jia Zhengjin said, "What elves, orcs, and Miltai tribes, I have so many here, can't I tolerate a Zas tribe?"
"Lord Keane is indeed benevolent!" Phyllis said with a delighted expression, "So, Lord Keane, would you like to meet the newly elected leader of the Zas Clan?"
"Since you're here, you're my subject!" Jia Zhengjin nodded and smiled, "Call him over!"
"Yes!" Phyllis clapped her hands hurriedly, and immediately a mercenary ran to a tent behind her.
Jia Zhengjin looked at that side intently, but the next moment he was directly stunned.
When the tent was lifted, a huge lizard emerged from it! a huge lizard standing and walking in a humanoid shape with a fur skirt wrapped in it!
