Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 661 - 049 Photos

In such an environment, the citizens cultivated have long subtly eliminated the unstable concept of humans and other races in their hearts.

Just like a certain country from Austin's previous life, engaging in racial integration.

And the centripetal force of every Blue Dragon Kingdom citizen far surpasses that of any other country in the world today.

Against such a backdrop,

even though official media did not intentionally report the assault on the Blue Dragon Kingdom Main City, the masses were still outraged. Some Beastmen even clamored for a full-scale attack on the Southern Countries, to conquer them all and bring their King to kneel before His Highness Austin and apologize.

Anyone who has endured the hardships of the past and compares to the joyful life now would in no way want life to return to the previous state.

The wonderful life now compared to before, everyone feels it deeply in their hearts.

There is endless reverence for His Highness Austin, who created all this.

How could the assault on the Main City, a challenge to the Kingdom's dignity, not anger the people?

Young students speak on the street, calling for retaliation and revenge; patriotic merchants unite to donate money and supplies to the government, newspaper figures condemn it, calling for a liberation war against the Central Earth World, even the carters struggling for a living speak about the current situation.

The entire civil society was almost boiling over because of this incident.

Morale was high.

...

Amidst the turmoil within the Kingdom,

at that moment within the Border Great Wall,

the Dragon Nest Beastmen army, after breaking through the Great Wall, took over the border defenses, not only repairing the damage caused during the attack but also setting up towers near the wall, constructing turrets, and transporting Magic Heavy Cannons onto the wall.

During this process, the Border Great Wall almost became a huge construction site, various new building equipment erected into towers, and building materials piled up along the wall.

During this time, the refugees previously blocked inside the Border Great Wall became the best manpower resources.

Shortly after breaking through the Border Great Wall, the Blue Dragon Kingdom sent people to take over the cities affiliated with the Great Wall, government officials organized the refugees with military assistance to provide food.

Temporarily replacing relief with work not only solved the refugees' hunger issues, sparing them from starving in the wilderness but also provided preliminary organization for the refugees.

Of course, in the initial days, the refugees' bodies were malnourished and extremely weak, so they weren't required to work temporarily.

Just simple organization, simple training, with easy-to-digest food like porridge distributed first allowing their bodies to barely recover.

With the help of advanced management ideas from Austin's previous life, all actions of the Blue Dragon Kingdom were orderly.

For a time, at the foot of the Great Wall,

refugees with yellowish skin and emaciated bodies, in ragged clothes, holding broken bowls, lined up long queues waiting for meals to begin, craning their necks looking ahead, eyes filled with anticipation, forming unforgettable scenes.

Reporters from the official newspaper accompanying the military to the frontline happened to capture this scene under a dim sunset one evening.

In the center of the image is a mother pulling a skinny child; she looks no different from other refugees, all with yellowish skin and emaciated bodies, ragged clothes like dirty cloth strips hanging from their bodies, with dry thin hands tightly holding her child beside her, another hand holding a broken bowl hanging from her side, black toes lifted, gazing forward at the long queue.

The focus of the image is that mother and child, the background fades into the borderless crowd of refugees craning their necks to look ahead.

The malnourished child is somewhat fearful of the surrounding adults, leaning close to the mother, almost hiding behind the mother's legs, the dirty gray covering the face, those weak eyes inadvertently glancing at the camera.

What kind of eyes are those, shining with a glimmer.

Timid, pitiful, afraid,

yet also curious about the outside world.

When the photo along with the reporter's coverage on the Border Great Wall was published in the newspaper, it instantly caused a huge stir within the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

Some citizens who experienced those hard-to-recall days of fleeing, now settled down saw the photo in the newspaper and were deeply moved, consulting the Village Chief or other government officials, hoping to donate some supplies.

Those who experienced aimless fleeing, understanding the miserable nature during such times, resonate even more deeply with the refugees at the Border Great Wall.

Meanwhile,

upon seeing in the newspaper that the Southern Countries blocked refugees from entering the Kawa Great Forest for personal interests, leading to at least thirty percent of refugees dying in the wilderness due to lack of timely aid, countless citizens were filled with boundless rage against the Southern Countries' inhumane actions.

The photograph is truly moving,

especially the mother and child within it,

the mother looking forward with hopeful eyes, tightly holding the child's hand, and the innocent gaze in the young child's eyes...

Unless someone has lost their humanity, whether Beastman or human, under the premise of basic needs being met, there is always some sympathy towards the young ones.

Even the upper-class human elites in Pioneer City who never experienced a life of fleeing hardship, upon seeing the photograph are also deeply moved.

Under their joint call, a semi-civilian semi-official organization began to form, fundraising money, collecting supplies, heading to the Border Great Wall to shelter those who amidst famine, disasters, and various reasons had to leave home searching for hope.

With the help of the government and civil organizations, within a short time, nearly three to four hundred thousand refugees gathered at various places along the Border Great Wall began to gradually settle down.

After a period of recovery, they will undergo organizational training for two to three days so they understand commands.

Then some will assist the Dragon Nest army in building the Border Great Wall's defenses, while older and weaker refugees are organized to enter the Kawa Great Forest for simplified military training lasting a month before being sent to pioneer land for farmland development.

While the Blue Dragon Kingdom was repairing the Border Great Wall, settling issues for the stalled refugees, dispatching some military to investigate villages near the Border Great Wall and gather various intelligence during this time.

The Southern Countries also finally received news of the Border Great Wall being breached from the fleeing merchants and soldiers,

instantly,

causing a storm across the entire southern Central Earth World!
