"Regarding the number of refugees, there is no need to discuss it anymore."
Sitting at the highest seat, looking at the officials who were discussing below, Adil said calmly, "Rather than discussing this, why don't we think about where these refugees came from and how to settle them down."
"This …"
Hearing Adil's command, the people below looked at each other. After a while, someone said, "With such a large number of outsiders appearing at the same time, it is impossible for them to be the natives of Elka State, they can only be refugees from outside …"
"Just that … with such a large number of refugees, which country did they come from?"
Facing Adil, someone opened his mouth and asked doubtfully.
No one was an idiot, with millions of refugees surging into Elka State, anyone could tell that something was wrong, it was impossible not to investigate it seriously.
"There is no news of unrest in the north of Sislan State, and there is no news of a rebellion in the empire, it is impossible for them to come from here."
"The west is the famous desert empire Cardoze, just that the people in this country look unique, it does not match with the refugees described by the governor outside …"
"The south is the most likely … there are many small countries there, the situation is also complicated, there might be a large-scale disaster …"
"Enough!" Hearing the discussions around him, Lu Xiu's loud voice was extremely conspicuous, his expression looked extremely grave, "Where these refugees came from, we only need to ask those refugees to find out."
"As for now, everyone should think about how to settle these refugees!"
He said with a serious expression, his entire person looked very serious, causing people to not dare to relax.
Millions of refugees, this problem was undoubtedly very big, if not handled properly, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Not to mention anything else, once these refugees started to create chaos, the final result would be horrifying.
"Do we have enough food?"
Sitting at the highest seat, thinking about all kinds of questions, Adil then looked at Lu Xiu below, his tone carrying a questioning tone.
"This … because there was no war last year, there was a batch of food left."
Facing Adil, Lu Xiu's face showed hesitation, "It is just that this batch of food, if given to these millions of refugees, is definitely not enough, no matter how diluted a day's rations are, it is already not bad to be able to last for a month."
This was indeed a practical problem.
The Elka State was located in a remote area with a small population. The food production was not enough to begin with. Even after Adil came to power and unified the entire Elka State, the situation was alleviated a little. However, time was still too short.
However, even if they managed to accumulate a certain amount of food in two years, it would be impossible for them to accumulate too much. Faced with millions of people, it would be impossible for them to last too long.
In fact, millions might not even be the limit.
Sitting in the seat of honor, Adil thought to himself.
It was obvious that these refugees would appear in large numbers in his territory and not somewhere else. In essence, it was the world's will leaning towards him.
Establishing a connection with the will of the world and obtaining the Source from the hands of the will of the world was a kind of gain. As for the large number of refugees that appeared in front of him, it was the will of the world that had released them through this connection.
Hearing Lu Xiu's words, the crowd below began to discuss animatedly, and waves of quarrels filled the entire hall.
Sitting quietly in the seat of honor, Adil gradually fell into deep thought.
Without a doubt, this batch of refugees must be taken in.
If they were ordinary refugees, it wouldn't matter whether they were taken in or not. However, this batch of refugees was different. In essence, they were all the last living creatures of a world and received the blessing and protection of the old world. Among them, there were quite a few who had the qualifications to become wizards and knights.
However, the problem of food was also a very big problem.
It wasn't that it was impossible to get it, but for Adil, this somewhat went against his previous intentions.
"Looks like I have to use some extraordinary means."
His expression was calm, but he was sighing in his heart. He turned around and looked towards the south. His eyes seemed to have penetrated through the layers of isolation and saw the world outside, "I only hope that it won't attract the attention and vigilance of some existences."
"There's no need to say anymore …"
He looked towards the noisy hall below. His calm voice resounded throughout the entire hall. Although it wasn't powerful, it accurately rang in everyone's ears, extremely clear, "Send someone to pass down the order, let the governors of the various regions start to take in the refugees."
"If that's the case, food for relief?" Hearing Adil's voice and looking at his appearance, Lu Xiu didn't dare to object. He only expressed his concern, "If we take in these refugees but can't provide food for relief in the end, I'm afraid there will be a big problem."
"Let's take a batch of food from Sisley City first."
Adil spoke indifferently. The aura all over his body seemed to have changed, emitting a heavy majesty, "As for the rest, we can borrow from those small countries in the south."
"Your Highness wants to start a war with the many countries in the south?" Lu Xiu was shocked. He then looked at Adil in front of him and felt the heavy and terrifying majesty of his bloodline, but he didn't say anything.
Adil had maintained his calmness for too long, to the point that they almost forgot the true power hidden under Adil's gentle face.
… …
"How do you feel?"
Early in the morning, after the meeting, a few people were training on the quiet training ground.
Lera held a long sword in his hand and waved it seriously. From time to time, the long sword in his hand drew streaks of silver light in the air, bringing about ripples.
Slim was opposite him, holding a short sword in his hand. He was currently wearing grey training clothes and was covered in sweat as he trained.
Apart from the two of them, there was also Qi Mu. He was also standing there, meticulously training himself on the training ground in front of him, using the power of the breathing technique to adjust his condition.
Under Adil's watchful gaze, a faint green seed glowed within the hearts of these three people as they continued their training. It was compatible with the breathing technique they were training in and was gradually improving their physiques.
The light green seed was the Knight Seed that Adil had implanted in their bodies in the past. As Lera and the other two's breathing technique training deepened, it was finally slowly activated.
"You can stop now."
After observing for a while, Adil said, "The longer the training time for the Knights' breathing technique, the better it is. Once you exceed your limits, it will only leave hidden injuries in your bodies.
"In the future, you only need to train up to this level."
Huff …
After stopping from their hurried training, the three of them stood there panting. Although they were covered in sweat, their faces were filled with excitement.
This was because, as they continued to train, the seed that was emitting life energy became more and more obvious. It seemed as if they would be able to truly grasp it after a period of time.
At that time, after activating the life seed, they could be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of a Knight.
"Teacher."
After finishing their training for the day, they put down the weapons in their hands and quickly walked in front of Adil and greeted him respectfully.
Lera was not the only student that Adil had taken in. In other words, after taking in Lera, he did not reject taking in other students.
After all, teaching one student was teaching, and teaching a bunch of students was also teaching. As long as the number of students was within a certain range, the amount of energy consumed would not be too different.
As long as their aptitude was up to the standard that Adil liked, he did not mind taking in more students.
This was the case for Slim and Qi Mu.
The care that they received from the world was not inferior to Lera's. Their aptitude as a Knight and a Wizard was not much different from Lera's. As such, they were able to catch Adil's attention and were taken in as students by Adil.
"Teacher, you said that you want to start a war with the southern countries. Is this true?"
Standing in front of Adil, Lera asked after hesitating for a while.
He was concerned about this question because of his identity.
Apart from being Adil's student, he was also in charge of a group of Knights in Sisley City. If Adil really wanted to start a war with the southern countries, there was a high possibility that he would also join the battlefield.
Moreover, apart from this factor, he was also a member of the real world. Naturally, he was very concerned about this war.
One must know that the fundamental purpose of Adil starting a war with the southern countries was to gather food to appease the refugees.
The other two were the same. After hearing Lera's words, their gazes gradually shifted to Adil. It was obvious that they were also very concerned about this matter.
"It's true."
Facing the 3 students' inquiring gazes, Adil didn't pretend to be mysterious. He nodded and said, "When that time comes, the 3 of you will all have things to do."
The 3 of them were stunned for a moment, and then said in unison, "It's my pleasure."
"The residents of that world have descended into this world. Although they have descended, they don't speak the same language."
Looking at the 3 students in front of him, Adil said, "I need you to take people to various places and assist the governors to appease these refugees. At the same time, select some of them."
"Teachers, doctors, students, officials … These people need to be recruited as soon as possible. Experts and senior figures of various industries, as well as members of various technical industries, need to be selected as soon as possible. Give them better treatment and protection."
Speaking until here, he paused and then continued, "Your world has now collapsed, but as long as people are still alive, there will be a day when order will be established again.
"As long as you develop well in this world, you may be able to build a prosperous city like your previous world.
"For that day to come, these people who have been selected will be the main force."
