Tavare heads westward, now they are all territory of the Kingdom of Light, and the team can be replenished at any time, so the marching speed is also very fast.

Ten days later, with the help of the indigenous people who had newly joined the Kingdom of Light, the team quietly crossed the Brand River on the other side without a man, and entered the New World Colony under the jurisdiction of the royal family, the northern part of the New World in the political sense.

After Jacques crossed the River Brand last time, he was worried about being retaliated by the elite warships and the Wharton family, Jacques and Lily arrived at Medes in just over ten days.

However, the closer we entered the area controlled by the empire, the more people were, the more sparse they were. The rural towns on the roadside were all ruins, as if a war had just happened, and there was no one to see after dozens of miles.

Later, it was the whistle driver sent by Shui Zhao to find several residents in the valley. After asking, he found out what happened here.

...

In short, this has something to do with the war in which the Kingdom of Light occupied the colony of Stuart six months ago.

After the sudden appearance of the west coast of the New World, Yin Zhongwei, the main force led by Heishu, was divided into more than ten troops and interspersed eastward. Relying on the advantage of military strength, first interspersed and separated the towns, seized the pass, and then turned back and slowly dealt with the surrounding towns behind.

Therefore, most of the empire immigrants had no time to evacuate eastward and were surrounded by the army of the Kingdom of Light.

Relying on the bombardment of artillery and the selection of preferential treatment of surrenders, most of these towns chose to surrender due to a huge gap in strength.

Faced with surrendered empire immigration, the Kingdom of Light was to allow them to evacuate with their property, but there were only two evacuation routes, either heading north to the north of the New World or south to the colony of Castia.

Due to the tension between Stuart and Castia, most of the immigrants chose to retreat north.

Regarding the handling of Stuart's immigration, Hei Ye still kept his promise and ensured their safety before crossing the River Brand.

What the Kingdom of Light needs is land, not population, and the factors of instability are naturally to be dealt with. In fact, the West Coast area is different from the East Coast. The West Coast is inconvenient transportation, mainly large farms and small mines. The proportion of empire immigrants in the total population is less than 10%, and a large amount of work is done by hiring the indigenous people. Even if they are driven away, it will not affect economic production.

However, the 200,000 to 300,000 empires who crossed the border to the Medes region in the north had a great impact on the Medes region directly under the royal family.

Some of these people plan to return to the empire. Most of these people are rushing to the road with light clothes. After entering the Medis region, they turn east and leave the eastern coast.

But there are still many people who can go there in the local area, so they have to find a new way out.

The Medes Region is actually similar to the situation in the south. The towns near major transportation routes are well developed, but after leaving the surrounding areas of the town, there is still a large amount of unowned land not developed.

In order to encourage empires to come and reclaim land, the Medes region has always had a traditional law. If no one has any objections, it can be officially recognized and apply for relevant certificates for land ownership in nearby towns.

Logically speaking, the Medic region was able to accommodate these refugees who had lost their homes. Even though they came from the Principality of Stuart, they were still people of the empire.

But the problem still arises. Even though the Medis region responds in a timely manner and evacuates refugees to various places in the region, there are still many conflicts between locals and refugees.

At the beginning, it was caused by some trivial matters. In addition, both sides were in a group, but both sides were relatively restrained and the situation did not worsen. It was eliminated under the mediation of government officials.

Mayor Medis originally thought that refugees could quickly integrate into the local area, and as long as the Kingdom of Light would not be greedy for the Northern Expedition, he would be able to rest assured.

However, after a period of stability, there were several murders in the small town of Fiennes, west of Medes, overnight, and the deceased were all newly moved refugees.

This suddenly intensified the conflict between locals and refugees, and the two sides were tense and almost fought hard.

With the mediation of the local town mayor and the city guards, the situation was finally suppressed, and the town mayor also promised to find the murderer as soon as possible.

However, what I didn't expect was that it took a month to find the murderer.

A month later, the murder occurred again. This time, more than ten people died, but they were still refugees, and the whole town was in panic.

More than a dozen people died at different locations at the same time. If it were not organized and premeditated, no one would believe it.

The conflict really broke out. The newly settled refugees organized a group to catch several local gangsters who often bully refugees on weekdays. They privately used to torture and scolded them, and finally all of them were hanged.

The locals quit and organized their revenge. Fortunately, the mayor invited the city guards from several nearby towns in time to block the situation, which stopped the situation from deteriorating further.

However, the problem was still not solved, so I simply divided the town into two, pulled up the fence, and passed through each one. At the same time, I mobilized all my strength to find the real culprit of the incident.

The mayor did not believe that those gangsters had the ability to organize and kill more than a dozen refugees, and the refugees were extremely tragic, and they were disheartened and most of their internal organs disappeared.

Such a strange death situation must be something unusual.

But before the mayor found out the whole story, a new chaos happened again.

The night of the incident was also the first night of the quarantine town. The city guard camp was attacked, with many casualties and injuries. Most of the city guard camps were borrowed by the mayor of Fiennes from other towns. It should have nothing to do with the grudges between the two sides, but the death of the deceased was the same as the situation of the refugee deceased.

Some of the injured said that the attacker was a human, and some said that he was a strange beast. Only the appearance description was somewhat consistent, they were all black, strong, and walked upright, and at a very fast speed.

The situation is no longer a dispute between locals and refugees, but a possible attack on a strange beast.

People immediately felt that the town of Fiennes was unsafe and left and fled to the big town. The borrowed city guards did not dare to stay for a long time, and withdrew the town with the dead and the wounded.

Overnight, most of the residents of Fiennes fled.

Strangely, in the following month, the town of Fiennes returned to peace.

The people who stayed seemed to have forgotten the previous conflict and continued to live numbly. The mayor of Fiennes was drunk to celebrate the past of the crisis. Now, wait for the fleeing residents to return soon.

When you come back, you will live a good life, and the mayor will collect taxes well, perform their own duties, and be safe and stable.

...

Just one month after the bloody incident in Fiennes Town, the same incident occurred in several nearby towns on the same day. Even the city of Medes also had three "ripper blood cases". Each town reported to Medes, and after the fermentation of the newspaper, it was awarded the unified title of "ripper blood cases".

Mayor Medes remembered that this kind of case first occurred in Fiennes, so he sent someone to ask the mayor and the captain of the city guard of Fiennes.

The sent people were sent out for two days and urgently reported it back. All the people in the town were killed. Two masters in the town, including the mayor, were also killed. The death was unified, and all of them were opened except for other injuries.

Only then did some people remember that more than two years ago, a similar case occurred in York City. The criminals only had one day of action per month, and also limped the victim and swallowed some of the internal organs.

The case was previously closed by the York City Guard as a criminal Gabriel insane, but some insiders revealed that the mercenaries who killed the criminal claimed that the criminal had transformed into a monster full of black hair, half human and half wolf before his death.
