Chapter 575 Where to Smuggle to? Of course, it’s the labor camp!
Rand once again came to the filming location of the Liuying drama.
The current crew has added many more people.
Some extras were used to show Rand's kindness and his happy life after the end of labor reform.
In fact, if Rand had thought about it earlier, he would not have needed to use deduction to show his kindness to the surrenderers and his commitment to the prisoners.
At least for his own subjects, even those prisoners undergoing labor reform, surrendered soldiers, or slaves who were captured or bought.
Rand has always kept his promises and will not go back on his word.
Rand could have achieved very good results simply by making documentaries about the lives of the people in his territory.
Unfortunately, Rand is not a wise man who can predict everything. The current psychological offensive plan was conceived after he arrived at the military camp here, so there was no opportunity to shoot a documentary in advance.
However, we did shoot a promotional video for the resort before, and the video of the beautiful scenery of the resort can be used now.
The shooting of the drama is now in its final stages.
To be honest, this is a filmed drama.
But there is actually not much falsehood in the content.
Vanilla is a member of the elf royal family, so there is nothing wrong with saying she is a princess from another country. And Vanilla did once long to escape from the elf forest to find her own freedom.
And now Vanilla has found her own freedom, and she has completely regarded herself as a part of the Sanctuary.
Wind Chime is a prisoner who was captured by Rand, sent to labor camp, and then freed.
Now Feng Ling has redeemed herself and is completely free.
Feng Ling is very familiar with the process of being caught, sent to labor camp, and then being freed, because she has experienced it herself.
Although Fengling has now discovered the wisdom of Xiangcao not redeeming her freedom, she feels that being free seems to be no different from not being free.
Now that she has redeemed herself, she also wants to work in the resort.
Feng Ling, who is now a free person, can certainly refuse Rand's arrangement.
But the price of refusal is losing the job at the resort and the benefits accumulated through previous hard work.
I really don't want to give up at all.
Now Feng Ling regretted spending the money to redeem herself.
The extras in this performance included the officers directing the labor camps and other inmates who played Feng Ling's companions.
Basically, they are all outstanding people who were truly sent to labor reform and then released.
To be honest, many people, including Vanilla, lack acting skills.
But the performance made up for it.
Vanilla's desire for freedom.
The prisoners cherish their life in the resort.
As for Feng Ling, she is now a master of performance. She can do well regardless of whether she is performing herself or not.
"As long as this photo-taking drama is well promoted, the benefits of surrender will be made very clear." Marcus, still dressed like a senior director, came to Rand and said confidently.
"Yes, yes, your Majesty the great director Marcus." Rand said flatteringly.
After inspecting this crew for a while.
Rand left again.
Marcus is quite reliable when he is at work. To be more precise, Marcus is very reliable at all times except when he is having some crazy ideas.
There should be no problem in promoting the benefits of surrender. So for Rand, the next focus is to make the enemies realize that they have no third choice except death and surrender.
When Rand returned to the office.
I found out that there was a visitor.
It looks like they are envoys from other neighboring countries? Olenna quickly leaned over to Rand's ear and whispered, "They are here to put pressure on me."
…
The spies in the city received the order.
These shadowy beings once again began to move around in the besieged city.
I can clearly feel the difference in atmosphere this time compared to last time.
If last time I could only feel the tense atmosphere and the residents' worries.
This time, one can clearly feel the distrust in each other's eyes, and even the fear of the future.
The spies' job this time was to provide a way for these residents, as well as other soldiers and even knights who were afraid of war, to smuggle themselves across the river.
It is very stupid to directly spread propaganda and fear to these residents and even soldiers, which will easily arouse suspicion and lead to arrest.
But if I say as a veteran that I have a secret way of smuggling, that's very different. Even if someone doesn't need this way, it's difficult to decide to report the smuggling introducer, because under the current situation, who can ensure that they can survive this war?
It is very important to master a secret smuggling route and get a chance to survive at a critical moment.
The spies now only have to do this one thing.
Things will be very simple after that.
With the assistance of the fleet outside Rand City, the smuggling route provided by the spies would indeed be relatively easier.
As more and more people disappear inexplicably in the city, the upper echelons of Royal City of Boren will realize what has happened.
Then the conflict between the stowaways and the captors will arise and escalate.
This still won't cause any large-scale reaction.
But it will definitely have a subtle influence.
As for what to do after the internal conflicts in the city escalate, that is naturally something that the great and wise Duke Land needs to consider.
After fighting on and under the city walls for half a month, they rested.
Allen was able to take leave from the barracks and take care of his own affairs in the city or buy some things.
Although there are no more open shops in the city.
After fighting for a period of time, soldiers were allowed to leave the barracks and rest, which was actually a somewhat risky decision.
But let all the soldiers stay in the barracks and live an intensive military life.
Then facing the suffocating attack of the Frost Moon Kingdom...it might turn the military camp into an explosive powder keg.
Although there is no such thing as a powder keg in this world.
In other forms of warfare, such as raiding, a way to relieve pressure on soldiers and knights is to allow them to raid villages.
If a castle is breached, it is also allowed to plunder the nobles' property that is not directly under the castle.
This is something that even conscripted soldiers may be able to share in the benefits.
And defending the city...
In the later stages of defending the city, in order to maintain the battle, either the citizens in the city were pulled onto the city walls, or the soldiers were allowed to plunder the city.
War has always been so cruel.
Fortunately, the city of King Bolen has not yet developed to the stage of cannibalism.
The port has not been affected too much so far, with large ships constantly bringing in supplies and manpower from outside.
Alan touched the wound on his face that had just healed slightly.
It was scratched by a stray arrow on the battlefield.
The fighting that lasted for half a month earned Allen his second military pay.
The Kingdom of Bolun is a wealthy country, and the property in the Bolun Royal City is particularly abundant, so there will be no situation where military salaries cannot be paid.
The money earned with his life was kept by Allen in a small bag around his waist.
Compared with lower-level ordinary soldiers, Allen doesn't really need money. What he needs is to be promoted to a knight.
In fact, before leaving today, his superior, the centurion, encouraged Allen and hinted that if he could continue to fight bravely, promotion to a formal knight would be just around the corner.
Being promoted to a formal knight is a dream come true for Allen, but that was something he had only dreamed of before.
Now, at least on the battlefield on the city wall, Alan had seen too many official knights being killed.
Even the best armor cannot stop a sharp spear.
Even with superb martial arts skills, there is not much room to display them in a sea of people.
When a formal knight was killed, it felt like his death was not much different from that of a stray dog being kicked to death on the roadside.
The commander said there would be compensation, but for young people like them who were eager to achieve their own success, how much would compensation mean? And there was another terrifying thing, that is, even if they fought to the end, could the Bolun King City really be defended?
More and more troops from the Frost Moon Kingdom gathered outside, and their fighting will was terrifyingly strong.
Although their commander said that the Boren Royal City had great advantages in defending the city in all aspects and the Frost Moon Kingdom had no choice but to retreat ridiculously, but... is it really true?
If it was before joining the war, Allen might have had considerable confidence in this.
Because theoretically, the capital of the Kingdom of Bolen would be impossible to be breached given the advantage of its fleet.
But now…now Alan was not so confident.
Alan touched the wound on his face that had stopped bleeding.
Most of the shops on the street have been closed, but there are still some shops that are open specifically for soldiers.
The supplies in these stores are either the original storage of the royal city or new supplies shipped in from overseas.
After all, there has to be a place for soldiers to spend their money after they get paid, right? As for ordinary citizens who are not soldiers.
At this moment when the city is under siege, it is difficult to consider the interests of ordinary citizens, but at least for now, order will be maintained to prevent ordinary citizens from being robbed by soldiers or gangsters.
But how much strength this has in maintaining order... that depends on different people's opinions.
Alan bought some bread, fruits and vegetables at a store reserved for military personnel.
Then he returned to his home in the royal city.
When he saw a woman being robbed by someone who looked like a gangster on the road, Allen chose to avoid it instead of doing anything heroic.
In the past, he might have demonstrated his bravery and integrity, but now he felt that it was unnecessary. If the city was broken, everyone would be doomed.
Alan was walking alone on the street, and fortunately seeing that he was wearing armor, the thugs did not dare to provoke an apprentice knight who obviously had a lot of combat experience.
A while later.
Alan saw a few people dressed as sailors who smelled of the sea coming towards him.
In the Kingdom of Bolun, sailor is a relatively prestigious profession and a job that the common people of the Kingdom of Bolun desire.
The sailor did not stop in front of Allen, but just passed by him.
Then there was a note in Alan's hand.
Midnight, old alley, sneaking across the river.
The note contained very brief information.
But it reveals very interesting information.
Although sailors have a relatively high status, it is still a civilian job, and civilians cannot read.
And smuggling is also a very sensitive word.
If he went back now to arrest those who passed him the note, he might be able to find out some secrets.
But Allen was more interested in smuggling.
The sailors who walked past began to whisper after turning a few corners.
"Isn't it a bit too risky for us to pass the note directly like this?" said a spy disguised as a sailor.
"It's okay. I've investigated this person before, so I have a relatively good idea of what will happen. And since he didn't chase us immediately just now, it's obvious that there's a chance." A slightly older man replied secretly, "Also, the place we arranged is relatively safe. We can just wait until night to see if he comes alone. If there are many people, we won't show up."
There is no such thing as a risk-free spy job behind enemy lines.
This method of passing a note and then making an appointment is much safer and more reliable than just blocking people on the street and asking.
If you want to be more secure and secretive, it will not be achieved in a short period of time.
Alan arranged a dinner for himself when he got home.
Just start preparing.
He was very interested in the date at night.
These soldiers who were allowed to take leave were naturally the focus of attention, but the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Bolen were not actually very worried about them escaping.
One is the soldiers who were given leave, and they basically all looked relatively stable.
Another reason is that the identities of these trainee knights have been registered, and their appearances are familiar to many of the troops who manage or supervise the city to maintain order. These soldiers on vacation have to report their positions and situations at regular intervals.
If they fail to report on time, they will be tracked down immediately, so it is quite difficult for them to escape, and it is more difficult for them to smuggle than ordinary citizens.
However, since the note could be delivered in this way, it must be some special smuggling channel, which gave Alan a lot of hope of leaving.
As for the merit and glory that I once longed for, all I can say is that if the Kingdom of Bolen is destroyed, then all the merit and glory will be meaningless.
At night, Alan came to the Old Lane alone.
And several spies were still watching from a distance, whispering, "Boss, where are we going to smuggle them to?"
"That's naturally Crescent Moon Harbor." The spy known as the boss said lightly.
"We, Lord Rand, have gained a lot of population in the north, but if we really destroy the Kingdom of Boren, we will need more people to build the territory. For Lord Rand, the more people the better."
Not all spies understood why Rand needed population, but since this was the requirement from above, they would definitely comply.
After carefully checking the surroundings to make sure that no one else is following.
The spies were still dressed as sailors and appeared in front of Alan.
