The elves of the Kingdom of Aerym had not seen such a strange announcement for a long time. They were familiar with the emergency mobilization orders issued due to various disasters and accidents, but they had not seen the words "good news" behind an emergency mobilization order for thousands of years. This sudden announcement confused one billion elves, and some of the more sensitive ones had vaguely guessed something. An unknown excitement and excitement pervaded the Aerymian society, and over time, spread to every elf. The citizens who were more sensitive to the news also noticed another situation: the Royal District had been locked down, and in the past few hours, the person in charge of resource allocation and personnel management on every floating island had been summoned to the Dawnbreak Island. This was a situation that had never happened in the past when there was a disaster mobilization.
There was no doubt that an earth-shattering event was about to happen.
In addition to the elves who had to go to various key positions to work overtime, more and more elves returned home and began to check their personal belongings and contact their friends and relatives according to the announcement. Then, they waited in front of any media terminal that could receive the royal broadcast for further information. All media terminals, including the city street display screens that were rarely used and only lit up when important information was announced, were now broadcasting the same waiting screen. The screen was extremely simple, with only a constantly jumping countdown. Aerymian society was very serious about "time". Any meeting had a fixed time limit, and all participants, including members of the royal family, had to speak and make a decision within the time limit. After the countdown ended, regardless of whether the meeting had achieved anything or not, the last-minute progress of the meeting had to be announced to the public. This was their unique way of doing things. And that countdown was the countdown for the ongoing meeting of all the elders. The moment the countdown hit zero, Hilda would personally announce a certain result.
Finally, the countdown ended, a ripple appeared on the announcement screen, and Hilda's figure appeared in front of all the Aerymian elves.
"People of Aerym, I am your queen. I believe that you have received the advance announcement a few hours ago and have conveyed the news to everyone according to the announcement. I hope that now every Aerymian elf has been waiting in front of the information screen as required, because I am now going to announce extremely important news, it involves each and every one of us," Hilda read out solemnly. "We are about to go to a new home, a new world rich in resources."
Hilda paused for a moment. She seemed to have felt the strong commotion and shock from every floating island city, a total of one billion elves. She gave the people time to react so that they could accept what she was about to say next. Then she continued, "The space-time accelerator experiment was not a complete failure. At least it succeeded in sending one person to a distant new world — that person was me. Everyone should know about the explosion a month ago and my disappearance during this period of time. Now I am going to announce... "
Hilda's calm and majestic voice echoed throughout the entire Aerymian island chain. All kinds of noise under each dome quieted down at this moment. The flying cars in the sky stopped at the top of the nearest tower, and the construction machines that were working everywhere squeaked to a halt. Some elves with confused and shocked faces came out of their homes. They listened to the queen's voice echoing throughout the entire dome and looked around in confusion. Many of them saw their neighbors with the same expression on their faces. These elves could not believe that the news they saw on the information screen at home was true, so they came out to verify the truth. So they saw the same image on every giant monitor on the street outside, and the same voice lingered in their ears.
This was the overwhelming truth.
Hilda's "Queen's Announcement" did not have much of an air of superiority, nor was there any tongue-twisting official rhetoric. She was a ruler who was with her people, so at this time, she used a very calm tone to tell her people about her experience in the past month, as if she was telling a story.
"... I was sent to a rich new world, and I met some creatures with noble souls and powerful strength. I was rescued by some of their members, and with the help of their advanced technology, I came back here to bring you exciting news..."
More and more elves came out of their homes and came to the gathering in the streets and alleys to listen to this incredible story, as if this was the only way they could confirm that what they had heard was the truth. It was the same scene on the Dawnbreak Island, but more elves chose to gather in the vast open space outside the Royal District. The city had not recovered from the previous disaster, and now it had just barely returned to normal life. Outside the Royal District, there were open spaces that had just been cleared. Some collapsed buildings had been cleared away, and now these empty spaces were filled with elves. The crowd gathered in a strange silence and whispered to each other about what was happening.
"... The Aerymian civilization has been granted permission to live on a brand new, resource-rich planet. The owner of this planet has generously lent us the entire planet until we can use our own technology to find a new home. The Council of Elders and the Royal Council have just reached a consensus that the migration of the Aerymian race will begin in three days. At that time, a transport fleet from a higher civilization will come to pick us up. My people, please rest assured about this great migration, it is absolutely safe, reliable, and the last chance for our entire race. Next, the domed cities will announce independent material and personnel registration plans. The whole migration process will be carried out in batches, and the whole process will continue until the last elf safely arrives at the new home. "
After the announcement, Hilda handed over the rest of the matters to her son and the respected elves of the Council of Elders. The highly efficient society began to operate at full power, preparing for the upcoming great migration.
There was still a lot to do. The first announcement had only mobilized the residents to a minimum level. The next step was the work of the government: inventory and integrate the resources of the entire Kingdom of Aerym, choose and classify the various materials that might be faced after the great migration, and form a series of temporary working groups to deal with the various problems that might be faced during the migration. Of course, there were still some temporary situations that needed to be resolved at the moment. Let the people who were overwhelmed by the breaking news calm down, let everyone believe that everything was true, and let the heads of the various departments who were no better than the ordinary people get into the zone and start working as soon as possible. These were the most important things at the moment.
Of course, the Kingdom of Aerym also needed to set up a special team to negotiate with the alien civilizations. The long-distance drivers that 883 was about to bring would be the first official contact with the alien civilization in the history of the Aerymian elves, and the elves took this matter very seriously.
Although Hao Ren still felt that they were just a bunch of illegal drivers...
After Hilda returned to the Royal Steeple, she quickly appeared in front of Hao Ren. The latter was a little embarrassed. "I was listening to your speech — it was embarrassing, something about noble souls..."
Vivian poked Hao Ren's lower back from behind. "Don't be so smug. You almost turned into a husky just now."
Hilda smiled. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. When I make the announcement, I exaggerate to boost the confidence of the people. I know I exaggerated a little, but please don't take it seriously."
The smile on Hao Ren's face suddenly froze into a pile of mosaic. He felt that communicating with this straightforward queen was really killing him...
"Next, we'll have to wait for the big move in three days." Hao Ren rubbed his cheeks to regain his composure. "I've given you the precautions for moving to your council of elders and the council, haven't you? It was personally compiled by the Goddess, and it's all the experience of the old races. "
"Of course, we can see the value of that document at a glance." Hilda smiled and nodded. "Vimm almost regarded it as a divine revelation — well, it seems to be a divine revelation. In short, now we are organizing a material inventory committee and a medical preparation team, and ensuring that there are enough medical and material dispatchers in each batch of people during the migration. In addition, we will also prepare the life-support system. "
"Well, yes, the last one is very important. Although the environment of Peatopia is good, you may still not adapt to the situation there, especially the alien diseases. This thing has taught a lot of reckless races a lesson."
"Don't worry, the Aerymian elves have very magical medical skills. Even without the help of equipment, we have very powerful life magic," Hilda smiled proudly. "We are very confident in this."
"Take it easy," the MDT muttered. "Many races that are more technologically advanced than you have set foot on the land of the alien planet. They have also made full preparations, including dozens of inspection and quarantine procedures — but in the end, the number of people who are taught a lesson by the alien cold virus is only increasing every year."
Hilda's expression became serious. "Please rest assured, I will take this problem seriously."
Hao Ren nodded, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by someone rushing in: Vimm ran in.
"Mother," the young prince regent said in a hurry. "The Lotto Group and some dissident groups are really on the move!"
