Irene, dressed in formal attire, was looking through documents.

Silver Pine City has been doing very well recently. If it was somewhat true that Silver Pine City was called "the first city in the Far North" before, now it is a bit like that.

Of course, the prerequisite is to get rid of Hongye City.

Although Ai Lin had never been to Red Leaf City, with that man around, she was sure that Red Leaf City would definitely develop better than Silver Pine City! This was not a lack of trust in herself, but a mysterious confidence in Zhang Feng.

"Lord City Lord, Ms. Beverly is outside asking to see you."

Suddenly a servant reported.

"Please ask her to come in."

In terms of the riding experience alone, it was quite good, even beyond Zhang Feng's expectations.

Others also spoke up.

The knight said in disbelief:

For a businessman like him, peacetime is the best. If war breaks out, most things become unpredictable.

If they were not forced to retreat, at such a close distance, the soldiers might be in danger if the refugees really attacked the city, after all, there were thousands of people. Silver Pine City did not have such high walls as Red Leaf City.

Obviously, there is no one of such level in Silver Pine City, which means that what is said in the letter concerns the life and death of most people!

After all, this was a ruthless person who broke through Silver Pine City in less than half a day! ...

The old man cried.

"Well, it looks like we won't be able to see the big ship for the time being!"

“Woo——”

"How dare that noble be so bold!"

Everyone knows the name of Grand Duke Oran, he is the first knight of the Buck Kingdom!

Moreover, he did not forget that there were two vicious wolves lurking near the Buck Kingdom. If civil strife broke out, he could guarantee that the Luoyan Kingdom and the Gama Kingdom would definitely intervene! Especially the Gama Kingdom, because of the border with the Buck Kingdom, the conflict between them and the Buck Kingdom had never stopped.

Listening to the words below, no matter how unwilling they were to believe it, their reason told them that this was probably true! "I have to slow down. Is His Majesty the King dead? The King is gone? The Buck Kingdom is dead in name only?"

He is the idol of countless people! But he faded out of people's sight very early, almost no one knows where he is, and even the news about whether he is still alive is a little uncertain.

"Also... prepare some black bread and throw it to them."

"What? Grand Duke Oran? Didn't he disappear? Why would he attack his own people?"

With the threat of these orcs, the refugees will surely not dare to act rashly!

"What are you running away from?"

Irene's face was stern. Giving them food was already an exception. If these people didn't know what was good for them, it was not her fault! "Yes!"

Irene thought for a moment and said a few words to the knight, who then shouted again:

Civil unrest in the Buck Kingdom is definitely something they would like to see.

"Everyone retreat, do not cross this arrow, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"Come on, Ms. Beverly, come with me to take a look?"

"Okay, I know your little trick! How about this, we have a lot of supplies stored in Hongye City. The Far North can't digest them all, so I plan to send a caravan to the capital or other cities to process the goods. You can work hard and serve as the captain of this caravan. I will give you three points of the net profit, and you can just think of it as a trip."

He knew how powerful the Buck Kingdom was. After all, he had once worked for a noble in the capital. If the capital fell and the king died, wouldn't that mean... the Buck Kingdom... was gone? "My lord, the capital really fell. Many of us saw it with our own eyes!"

…

"No, Lord City Lord, those people are more like refugees!"

Irene no longer looked at the refugees who were asking for help or even cursing under the city wall. She returned to the city lord's mansion with a serious expression.

"Welcome, Lord Marquis! Marquise!"

Zhang Feng told Irene not to panic and to let the refugees stay outside for the time being and to prevent any riots. Everything could be dealt with after Zhang Feng arrived.

"The royal capital... is gone?"

"Help me! I haven't eaten for a long time!"

A train loaded with people and supplies drove out of Hongye City to the south with a long whistle.

Nora smiled gently at Zhang Feng.

When he thought about the fact that he had personally led people to weave these "nets" that woven the Far North, he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart! In the future, his name, Shu Daqiang, was destined to leave a strong mark in history! "Very good, you have worked hard during this period. When I finish my work, I will give you a small vacation."

After seeing these soldiers begin to intensify their training, some shrewd people have discovered something.

Inside the car, Zhang Feng, who was sitting in the first-class carriage, looked at the rapidly receding scene outside with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The old man looked painful and spoke in a hoarse voice:

Zhang Feng knew more. At that time, His Majesty the King told him that Grand Duke Oran had long had rebellious intentions and even asked Zhang Feng for help. However, Zhang Feng did not get involved for safety reasons.

“…War is hard!”

"That's exactly what I meant!"

After all, in war, swords have no eyes, and one can lose one's life if one is not careful! "Everyone, be alert, don't let these refugees get close to the city wall!"

"Stop~"

The Buck Kingdom was not in decline at all. It was a vibrant country, and the capital was the most powerful place in the country. How could such a place be destroyed? Most importantly, His Majesty the King did not issue any conscription to them! This meant that either the capital was destroyed overnight, or the capital was besieged by a large army, and not even a single message could be transmitted!

"Lord City Lord, what should we do?"

"My dear nobles, we are all fleeing from the south!"

“…”

"Yes, sir!"

Beverly envied Irene for being able to gain the absolute trust of Master Zhang Feng. Master Zhang Feng actually handed over such a prosperous Silver Pine City directly to Irene without asking any questions! This kind of trust is really enviable.

"The railway network is basically complete. We just need to slowly build the remaining branch lines. It's time to see how the big ships are built!"

They didn't quite understand what these strange railways were used for and what kind of vehicles could run on them?

"Grand Duke of Oran..."

Zhang Feng shook his head and said.

They are not Zhang Feng and cannot accept unlimited refugees.

No matter which possibility it is, it is a shocking result - the enemy is too powerful! .

"yes!"

Caroline suggested.

Of course, this refers to the open sea. The near sea is relatively safe, but there are many pirates near the sea, which is even more terrifying for ships at sea than the sea itself.

After explaining some things to Shu Daqiang, Zhang Feng let him leave.

The other refugees also spoke up quickly, it must be Grand Duke Oran.

But as soon as Zhang Feng went out, he received an urgent report from his subordinates.

But there is not much difference, everything is in Zhang Feng's steady plan.

It has been some time since the Hongye Railway Station opened.

Irene and Beverly looked at each other, and there was no relaxation in their eyes.

Caroline and other core members were called by Zhang Feng, even the elf Nora was there.

After hearing the knight's words, the refugees looked at each other, and finally the old man spoke:

Although it seems that they don't have much strength left, they still have to be on guard.

The two women were startled and stood up suddenly.

Moreover, there are those Celestial Gods with strange abilities in the capital...

However, before Beverly could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"refugee!"

Crash~ The orcs in the carriage poured out one after another. Even though it was not the first time for the high-ranking officials of Silver Pine City to see orcs, they were still very scared when they saw them again. However, they were also very happy at the same time.

“Woo——”

Outside the north gate of Silverpine City, in a simple train station, Irene and a group of Silverpine City’s senior officials were there.

This question puzzled not only Irene, but everyone else as well.

Judging from his appearance, this old man is probably in his fifties or sixties. Although his clothes are very dirty, one can still tell that they are of good style. It is obvious that he is also a man of some note.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Irene gave the order decisively.

After all, he was just a small noble, and there were tall people to hold him up if the sky fell.

Irene envied Beverly's charm of a mature woman, which she could never learn as she was not even eighteen years old.

Now there is only one problem. He has not yet decided whether he wants to go to the sea for a trip himself.

It is no longer a secret that Yinsong City is affiliated with Hongye City. The news that Hongye City defeated Yinsong City in half a day has already spread.

How could someone dare to be so blind now? Could it be a noble from the south? But how could they be interested in such a remote place like ours?

According to Zhang Feng's plan, this should have been the first one to be built, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and now it has become the last one to be built.

Hearing the hurried noises outside the house, Irene and Beverly both frowned.

"Ms. Beverly."

A soldier came in and saluted Irene, then said breathlessly, "Lord City Lord, there are so many people outside the south gate of Silver Pine City! The preliminary estimate is that there are at least three thousand people!"

Soon, Beverly, exuding mature feminine charm, appeared in front of Irene.

Red Leaf City.

Shu Daqiang spoke with a serious face.

They couldn't guarantee that the refugees were telling the truth. What if there were defeated soldiers among them? If they were the King's soldiers, it would be fine. But if they were the enemy's soldiers, they would have no way to reason with them.

Zhang Feng walked to Irene, and seeing that she had obviously become much more capable, Zhang Feng smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Welcome, Lord Marquis! Marquise!"

"!!!"

"Yes! Lord City Lord is kind and righteous!"

"His Majesty...I think he's gone..."

The radio ticketing system basically had no problems, and other train stations were also opened one after another. Currently, there is only one line left. When this line is opened, the entire Far North can be said to have truly become a veritable Far North Village!

"Impossible! The further south we go, the closer we are to the capital. That is the heartland of the Buck Kingdom. How could there be a war? Could it be that the great lords are fighting for territory? But there are no great lords in that area! Or is it that the Gamma Kingdom is attacking us? But we have not been summoned by any king! If you want to live, you'd better confess the truth!"

There was some fear in the refugees' eyes. They hesitated, but finally took several steps back together.

After just looking at the slightly scribbled content, Zhang Feng was shocked.

Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly.

"I wonder if Ms. Beverly is having any troubles?"

"Help, I don't want to die!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang Feng. We will keep you safe!"

Looking at the man getting out of the car and the fox-eared girl beside him, Irene immediately saluted.

Most people thought that he might have passed away because of too many battles and the recurrence of his old illness.

"So where did they attack, and how did His Majesty respond?"

The fox-eared girl's eyes were curved into crescents.

Zhang Feng took a look and found that the anti-counterfeiting mark was there and the beeswax packaging was intact.

"The capital... has already fallen... We ran to the north because we saw the situation was bad..."

Irene bit her lip and spoke again. After all, she was still a daughter at heart and was a little soft-hearted.

"How, how is this possible!?"

"No way?"

"I, Shu Daqiang, never feel tired when working for the Lord City Lord!"

"My noble lords, please save us!"

What Zhang Feng cares about is the situation in the Buck Kingdom.

The railway from Hongye City to Yinsong City was also built at a intensive pace. Yinsong City also received news of Zhang Feng. Although Irene didn't know why Zhang Feng built this strange road, she still cooperated and asked everyone to help.

With the power of Hongye City at that time, if it had gotten involved, it would probably have been swallowed up without leaving a trace.

As soon as the old man said this, the whole place fell into an eerie silence.

Zhang Feng nodded.

Sometimes they can do anything to survive! Now is not the time to be overly compassionate.

"With you here, I naturally don't worry about my safety..."

Irene and the higher-ups of Silver Pine City, who were a little panicked at first, instantly calmed down after seeing Zhang Feng's letter.

In less than half a day, Zhang Feng saw Yinsong City in the distance.

"Also, see if there are any articulate people among them. Let a few in for questioning. No more than five. If anyone causes trouble, kill them without mercy!"

The knight yelled in disbelief.

However, no one panicked. Those who were doing business continued to do business, and those who were harvesting crops continued to harvest.

Someone pointed into the distance and said.

Zhang Feng has always been generous to his own people. Three points of profit may not seem like much, but it depends on the quantity. Since Zhang Feng is sending a caravan out, the scale will definitely not be small. Even if it is only one point, it is a fortune that many businessmen cannot earn in their lifetime!

Both of them were a little confused.

"Yes, sir. The city walls have been breached, and a steady stream of soldiers are rushing into King Buck's City..."

…

"Um."

"Well, there's a piece of land in the city—"

Zhang Feng asked as he walked.

This last railway is the line from Red Leaf City to Silver Pine City.

Hongye City has obviously become busy, and even the entire Far North is in this situation.

A knight roared.

This season is the harvest season, the time of the year when food is most abundant. It is not winter, so there should be no refugees! After all, although those lords are stingy, they are not stupid. As long as they give the civilians in the territory some food, they don't have to eat too much. As long as they don't starve to death, basically no one will leave.

"My Lord, it's not the Kingdom of Gama. It's Grand Duke Oran who launched a war against us!"

"yes!"

“When is the remaining railway expected to be completed?”

After hearing the knight's words, the refugees made a commotion, and then an older man came out.

After looking at those depressed and dirty people not far from the city, their identity as refugees was confirmed, but Irene did not dare to let them in directly.

If the Far North is affected by war, every living force is very important. He will not be arrogant, but he will not be timid either.

"We don't know much right now, so I suggest we wait and see what happens, but we still need to make the necessary preparations."

The knight didn't know what to do.

You know, back then, Grand Duke Oran was a hero who risked his life for the Kingdom of Buck! "I don't know about that. Anyway, we know that it was Grand Duke Oran who started the war, and many cities have been occupied by them..."

She was still planning how to develop the Moulin Rouge next year, and even whether she could open a branch in the capital, and you told her that the kingdom was gone? For most businessmen, they would rather have higher taxes and a harder life than a war!

Shu Daqiang spoke with some excitement.

"Lord City Lord, the messenger from Silver Pine City has arrived! A red letter!"

…

However, they soon had the answer.

"Reporting to the Lord City Lord, if everything goes well, it will be completed by the middle of next month, but we need the cooperation of Silver Pine City to do this."

Irene and the others were all shocked.

Only then did he open it.

"In any case, it's right for us to prepare first. Caroline, tell the 'construction teams' in various places to come back quickly, and start strengthening our soldiers' training. Inform all the lords that I may recruit soldiers at any time, and let them be prepared."

The matter of sending a caravan was naturally cancelled, and Shu Daqiang cursed Grand Duke Oran a lot behind the scenes.

"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

The others followed quickly.

"Look, is that a train?"

If there really is someone rebelling, or even coveting the throne, they cannot get involved. After all, in history, most people involved in rebellion have never had a good ending.

Of course, the density of these railways cannot be compared with modern ones, so it is impossible to go wherever you want.

This is why His Majesty the King allowed them to recruit private soldiers.

"Come in and talk."

Irene spoke up.

…

"My Lord City Lord, something bad has happened!"

Zhang Feng said in a deep voice.

When they heard there were so many people, the first thing they thought of was war.

After a long whistle, the long train stopped in front of everyone.

But people can go to the location closest to them and then leave by car, ox cart, horse cart or something like that.

It can be said that he is now a spiritual symbol! Even if he is really alive, how could he attack his own people?

Besides, these more than 3,000 refugees were more than she could handle. After all, she was only a 17-year-old girl who had been in office for less than a year.

“…”

"Someone! Send the fastest messenger from Silver Pine City to see me!"

No one believed that there would be a war.

Beverly muttered to herself with a dull look on her face.

"Lord City Lord."

“That’s right…”

Zhang Feng patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Hongye City is so powerful, and the Far North has been completely unified. Unless the Buck Kingdom is destroyed, this is definitely the safest place in the entire Buck Kingdom.

Irene was a little excited. She didn't know what this good meant, but it was obvious that she was being praised.

"Good. Let's go."

The old man cried.

But I didn't expect that the tall man is gone now! "I guess what Irene said is true. The king's capital is probably gone. But I am skeptical about the conclusion that His Majesty is dead. After all, he is the king."

After the two of them exchanged polite words for a while, Irene spoke first:

Speaking of which, this was his first time riding on a train he produced. Trains in other worlds were much larger than modern trains. After all, Zhang Feng had to take the size of the orcs into consideration and could not discriminate.

Zhang Xiaotang thought happily in her heart.

The soldier said quickly:

"Oh my god! It's so long!"

"Little girl, you have good sense! From now on, I will protect you!"

The word "Marquise" made her very happy.

Someone exclaimed.

"What!"

The cat-eared girl couldn't believe it. She had seen how powerful the capital was, but a place like this was gone? "I didn't expect that..."

An arrow flew in a precise parabola and landed at the feet of at least one row of refugees. The refugees who were about to move forward stopped instantly.

Since His Majesty the King had told Zhang Feng last time, Zhang Feng didn't believe that he hadn't made a backup plan. To be able to sit on the throne of the king, he must not be treated as an ordinary person.

"Gone? What do you mean?!"

Irene said something to the knight beside her, and the knight immediately shouted to the refugees below: "Where are you from, and why did you come to Silverpine City?"

In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Feng asked Shu Daqiang.

Regardless of whether what these refugees said was true or false, she would not let anyone in.

"Show it to me!"

Although the word refugee sounds tragic, we should not be misled by appearances.

"Yes, I understand!"

After all, if there really is a war, His Majesty the King will definitely recruit them first.

Irene said after stretching.

After Irene notified some high-level officials in Silver Pine City, she went to the South Gate Tower with Beverly and others.

Red is the highest level set by Zhang Feng. Basically, this level will only be reached when the lives of most people or the top leaders of Hongye City are at stake.

"Someone started a war against our Silver Pine City?"

Zhang Feng is still very much looking forward to the big ship being built at the Yunhai City Pier.

As for the dangers at sea, it is generally acknowledged that they are high, even comparable to the Sunset Mountains.

Irene and the others didn't believe it at all, but since so many refugees said it in unison, they had to take it seriously.

The two greeted each other, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

The soldier handed the letter to Zhang Feng respectfully.

"Reporting to the Lord, there are already about 7,000 people, and the number is still increasing!"

"So many...it looks like this is a serious matter!"

Zhang Feng said it was serious, but there was no fear in his eyes, he even looked a little happy.

Whatever you need, you get it. He was just worried that there were not enough people in the Far North, and now they were delivered! In the eyes of others, these might be 7,000 troubles, but in Zhang Feng's eyes, these were 7,000 cheap labors.

It's just right, we can renovate Silver Pine City. If the war really spreads here, Silver Pine City, as the gateway to the Far North, is also the first checkpoint and cannot be lost!
