Chapter 1401: Careful Eyes
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and it was the end of autumn in a blink of an eye. At this time, the autumn harvest work in various parts of Da Zhou had come to an end, and the people of Da Zhou had basically begun to prepare for the winter.
On a new day, a huge team arrived outside the northeastern border of Da Zhou.
Standing on the sentry tower, they could see at least tens of thousands of people! If they hadn't received the news from the other side at the beginning, they would have thought that it was an enemy army attacking.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the figures moving with the large group are basically wearing ordinary clothes and carrying packages on their backs.
They all looked unkempt and ragged, and if you didn't know them, you would think they were refugees from somewhere.
Needless to say, this is exactly the immigration that Zhou Xu and Peter had agreed upon.
When Zhou Xu received the news from Peter some time ago and learned that the other party was preparing to bring the agreed immigrants over, he couldn't help but roll his eyes a few more times.
Peter's narrow-mindedness was somewhat obvious in him.
"This guy really knows how to pick the time. If they set out at this time, a large army of ordinary people will have to wait until late autumn or early winter to reach the northeastern border. After that, it will be the time to consume a lot of reserve grain."
From Peter's point of view, there is nothing wrong with bringing the agreed immigrants here at this time in order to avoid internal resource pressure.
But considering that they still have to cooperate in the future, the other party's behavior is somewhat petty, which makes Zhou Xu really look down on him.
At this moment, on the high walls of the Northeast Fortress, although they had learned in advance that all those coming from outside were new immigrants from their Great Zhou, even so, the Northeast garrison did not dare to relax or be careless at all.
There are tens of thousands of people here. If there is any trouble, it will be very serious.
In order to deal with this wave of situations, they started making arrangements half a month ago, and even borrowed troops from Grassland City and Black Moon City to maintain the situation.
Otherwise, the small number of troops stationed in the Northeast Fortress might not be able to hold on.
"Major John of Da Zhou, meet Councillor Peter!"
Outside the Northeast Fortress, John, wearing a black military uniform, bowed to Peter.
This time, in order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Zhou Xu asked John to bring the Wood Elf Mage Group to provide support.
If anything happens, they can just work together to cast spells and basically control the situation.
John, who had followed Zhou Xu in the coalition, naturally recognized Peter, and now he showed some ease.
"His Majesty has specifically ordered us to escort Councillor Peter to the meeting place."
“What about these immigrants I brought here?”
"The Northeast Fortress will take care of it. Your Excellency has nothing to worry about."
John said this while making a 'please' gesture.
Seeing this, Peter did not hesitate and happily followed John into the carriage.
Now that you have decided to come, there is no need to be timid.
After the carriage started moving, Peter asked casually, as if he remembered something.
"By the way, where is the meeting place? How long will it take to get there?"
"Our Majesty has decided to hold the meeting in the capital. It will only take three days to get there from here."
“…”
Peter was obviously stunned when he heard this.
【capital?】
[It’s only three days’ journey from the border of Da Zhou to the capital? ]
As the thought flashed through his mind, Peter subconsciously began to doubt the territorial area of the Great Zhou.
But then I thought about it and felt that it was not right.
Da Zhou and Tonglubao are also neighbors!
From this point of view, the territory of the Great Zhou is definitely not small.
[Is it because the location of the capital of the Great Zhou is not in the center, but is biased towards this fortress? 】
Peter made the most reasonable guess in his mind.
Until the carriage drove into the train station...
"Sir Peter, we have arrived. Next we need to change the mode of transportation."
Peter didn't think much about it and got off the carriage calmly.
As a result, in the next moment, the steel monster that came into his sight made Peter stand there in a daze.
"Fire, train?! You actually built a train already?!!"
As a chosen one, Peter undoubtedly knew about the train, but it was also because of this that he could more clearly realize what it meant! This meant that the development progress of the Great Zhou and the allied countries were no longer on the same level! This time, he personally led the team to immigrate. He was worried about it, but that was only one of the reasons. In addition, Peter actually wanted to explore the details of the Great Zhou.
Now looking at the steam locomotive in front of him, Peter suddenly realized that the Great Zhou was the strongest supporter within the coalition forces!
Thinking of this, Peter couldn't help but become more determined to carry out in-depth cooperation with Da Zhou.
[Fisher, you idiot, just go and lick the Saint Laurent Empire. I'll see how you can beat me in the future! ]
After experiencing an inner storm on the train, Peter, who was sitting on the train, was filled with emotion.
To be honest, ever since he traveled through time, he never thought that he would have the chance to ride a train in his life.
For a moment, I felt a little melancholy in my heart.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at the Black Moon City in front of him, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers and seemed a bit dreamy, Peter's reaction was much calmer.
Of course, he could see that the city in front of him had developed very rapidly. Compared with this city, the royal city of the Smith Republic was simply not worth mentioning.
But in comparison, the steam locomotive brought me a greater impact.
"Welcome, my friend."
It didn't take long before the two sides met each other soon. Zhou Xu, who had entered business mode, showed enough enthusiasm and goodwill to Peter.
Taking into account Zhou Xu's strength in the out-of-body realm, plus the shocks he had endured along the way.
Looking at Zhou Xu who was full of enthusiasm and kindness at this moment, Peter actually felt flattered. Invisibly, their status had been distinguished.
In the following chat with Zhou Xu, Peter mainly talked about Cricket's own arch-enemy Fisher.
He had a deep resentment towards Fisher. After he withdrew from the coalition forces, that bastard Fisher turned around and withdrew as well, going against him the whole time. He also spread the news that he led the team to the battle and suffered heavy casualties throughout the country, saying everywhere that he was incompetent, which made Peter very angry.
What made him even more angry was that the opponent's trick was so effective that he was restricted everywhere after returning to Smith Republic.
After complaining a lot, Peter turned the topic to their joint project of developing firearms.
"Your Majesty, how is our cooperation project going?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xu waved his hand.
"I just came back in the summer, and it's only late fall now, how can it be that fast?"
"Well, that's right..."
Peter sounded sounding sounding soundly, but his current situation made him extremely tormented and he felt like every day was a year.
Looking at Peter's expression, Zhou Xu laughed secretly in his heart and spoke at the same time...
"I don't have any firearms, but if you need individual crossbows, I can sell you a batch."
"!!"
