Chapter 844: The Arrival of Refugees
In the year 1352 of the Fēngmo calendar, during the New Year, the capital of the Desert Kingdom, the Oasis City, was razed to the ground by the Black Dragon.
This tragedy came too suddenly. The Desert Kingdom, which had not been visited by the Black Dragon for over a thousand years, was completely unprepared, both in terms of battle readiness and psychological preparedness.
Kingdoms like the Kingdom of Norma, the Kingdom of Gran, and Big Tang, which had learned their lessons before, would relocate their wealth and evacuate the population of major cities during the New Year. They would move important gold and silver treasures, and even cowardly kings would go to places like the XX Summer Villa or somewhere south of the Yangtze River to seek refuge.
But the Desert Kingdom had made no preparations at all!
The Pharaoh died tragically, and the palace was burned down by the Black Dragon. All the gold and silver treasures hidden in the palace were taken away by the Black Dragon.
Of course, that wasn't the worst part.
The worst thing was that the largest oasis in the Desert Kingdom dried up.
The soldier quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for disturbing your peace, Godfather."
A few minutes later, Robb, disguised as Robb Smith, walked out of the chapel. He had initially wanted to exclaim in surprise, but he quickly restrained himself and put on a serious and composed face. He said to the soldier, "What happened?"
"Marquis!" the soldier said, "In the past few days, countless refugees from the Desert Kingdom have flooded the desert outskirts near the checkpoints. It's a massive scale, truly frightening. No one dares to take matters into their own hands. I've come to seek your guidance."
"Hmm?" Robb was slightly puzzled, but soon understood. The Desert Kingdom was different from the Kingdom of Gran. There were very few places in the desert where people could survive, relying solely on a few large and small oases.
But in the desert, it was different. If the oasis was gone, try moving to the side! It would just be sand everywhere, with no oasis to sustain life.
And now, the largest oasis has been destroyed by the Black Dragon, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes and scatter to various oases. However, the ordinary small oases cannot accommodate such an influx of people, so the excess population can only move towards the desert outskirts.
To the north of the Desert Kingdom is the Kingdom of Norma, a kingdom controlled by the Church of Light, known for its brutal treatment of non-believers. They dare not move north. To the east are the towering Jinghong Mountains, the old lair of the Black Dragon and the demons. It would be suicidal for humans to venture in. To the west is the sea, not a place where people can easily go.
In the end, these refugees had no choice but to pour south, relying on the edge of the Boundary Mountain. At least in this area, they could barely survive, dig up some roots to chew on, drink from the small streams flowing down the mountainside to quench their thirst. Some bolder ones even climbed up the Boundary Mountain to see if they could hunt some small animals or find some edible fruits, if the border guards of the Kingdom of Gran didn't notice them.
After listening to the soldier's report, Robb's face didn't look good.
He said to Suofa beside him, "Go and fetch Kante. We're going to Crystal Canyon."
Suofa nodded and quickly went off. Before long, Kante, clad in full Titansteel equipment, rushed over. He first saluted the "Godfather" sitting on the stone bench and then turned to smile at Robb Smith. "Brother, you've finally come out of seclusion. It's been a long time since I last saw you."
