Chapter 264 The Queen’s Announcement
The elves in the Kingdom of Airem have not seen such a strange announcement for a long time - they are very familiar with the emergency mobilization orders issued due to various disasters, but they have not seen anything good behind the emergency mobilization order for thousands of years. The wording of the message, this strange news suddenly released, confused a billion elves, and some of the more sensitive ones had vaguely guessed what it was. An unknown excitement and excitement permeated the Irem society, and Over time, it spread to every elf. Citizens who are more alert have also noticed another situation: the Royal District has been sealed off, and in the past few hours, the person in charge of material dispatch and personnel management on each floating island has been summoned to the Island of the Rising Sun. This is a situation that has never occurred during disaster mobilization in the past.
Something earth-shattering is about to happen, there is no doubt about it.
Except for the elves who had to go to various key positions to work overtime, more and more elves returned home and began to follow the instructions of the announcement to inventory their personal belongings and contact their relatives and friends, and then waited at any place where they could receive the royal broadcast. Waiting for further news in front of a media terminal, all media terminals - including those city street displays that are rarely activated and only light up when important information is announced - are now relaying the same waiting picture, The above is extremely concise, with only a constantly jumping countdown: Airem society is very serious about "time". Any meeting has a fixed time limit, and all participants, including members of the royal family, must speak and make decisions within the time limit. , after the countdown is over, regardless of whether the meeting achieves results or not, the last minute progress of the meeting must be announced to the outside world. This is their unique way of doing things. And that countdown is the timer for the ongoing meeting of all elders. At the moment it reaches zero, Hilda will personally announce a certain result.
Finally, the countdown came to an end, a ripple flashed on the announcement screen, and Hilda's figure appeared in front of all the Irem elves.
"People of Irem, I am your queen. I believe that you have received the advance announcement a few hours ago and have conveyed the message to everyone in accordance with the announcement. I hope that every Erem elf has now Wait in front of the information screen as required, because I will now announce an extremely important news, which involves each of us," Hilda read out with a solemn expression, "We are about to go to a new home, a new country with abundant resources. world."
Hilda paused for a moment, as if she felt the strong commotion and shock from the billions of elves coming from every floating island city. She gave the people time to react and accept her next words before continuing. : "The space-time accelerator test was not a complete failure. It at least succeeded in sending one person to a distant new world - that person is me. Everyone should know about the explosion a month ago and my disappearance during this period. Now I will announce..."
The entire Irem Island chain, all the floating islands that are still in operation and have residents stationed, are echoing Hilda's calm and majestic voice. The various noises under each dome are all quiet at this moment, and the sky The flying car stopped on the top of the nearest tower, and the construction machinery that was working everywhere came to a screeching halt. Some elves with confused and shocked expressions on their faces walked out of their respective homes. They listened to the sound in the entire dome. The queen's voice echoed everywhere, and she looked around in confusion. Many people saw their neighbors with the same expression as themselves. These elves couldn't believe that the news they saw on the information screen at home was true, so they wanted to verify the facts - so they saw the same picture on every giant monitor in the streets outside, and the same words were lingering in their ears. sound.
This is an overwhelming fact.
Hilda's "Queen's Proclamation" did not have much condescension or convoluted official rhetoric. She was a ruler who was with the people, so she spoke in a very calm tone at this time. The story is the same. First, she tells her people her experiences in the past month:
"...I was sent to a fertile new world and met some beings with noble souls and powerful powers. I was rescued by some of their members and returned here with the help of their advanced technology to serve you. Bringing exciting news..."
More and more elves came out of their homes and came to gatherings in the streets and alleys to listen to this incredible story. It seemed that only in this way could they confirm to each other that what they heard was the truth. This is the same scene on the Island of the Rising Sun, but more elves chose to gather in a wide open space outside the Royal District: this city has not yet recovered from the previous disasters, and now it has just barely returned to normal life. Order, there are empty spaces everywhere outside the royal area that have just been cleared, and some collapsed buildings have been cleared away. Now these empty places are filled with elves. The crowd gathered in an odd silence and whispered about what was going on.
"...Erym civilization was promised to live on a new, resource-rich planet. The owner of this planet generously loaned us the entire planet until we can use our own technology to find other new homes. So far. The Council of Elders and the Royal Council have just reached a consensus that the great migration of the entire Irem clan will begin in three days. At that time, a transport fleet from a high-level civilization will come to pick it up. Dear citizens, please pay attention to this great migration. Don’t worry about migration, it is absolutely safe and trustworthy, and it is the last chance for our entire race. Next, each dome city will announce an independent registration plan for materials and personnel, and the entire migration process will be transported in batches and continue until the last Until the elves arrive safely at their new home.”
After the announcement, Hilda left the remaining matters to her son and the respected elves of the Presbyterian Church. This efficient society began to operate at full power to prepare for the upcoming great migration.
There are still many things to be done. The first announcement only allowed the residents to carry out the minimum mobilization. The next step is the work at the government level: inventory and integration of the resources of the entire Airem Kingdom, and prepare for the possible face-to-face after the great migration. According to the situation, various materials will be selected and classified, and a series of temporary working groups will be formed from now on to deal with various problems faced during migration. Of course, there are still some temporary situations that need to be solved: calm down those people who are overwhelmed by the breaking news, let everyone believe that everything is true, and let those who are no better than ordinary people with the same forehead The heads of various departments in Wushui got into work as soon as possible. These are the most important things at the moment.
Of course, the Kingdom of Irem also needs to establish a team dedicated to negotiating with alien civilizations - the group of long-distance veteran drivers that 883 will bring in will be the first official contact with the alien civilizations of the Irem elves in history. These elves are interested in This matter is taken very seriously.
Although Hao Ren still felt that they were just a bunch of shady drivers...
Hilda quickly appeared in front of Hao Ren after returning to the royal spire. The latter was quite embarrassed: "I listened to your speech - I'm so embarrassed, what a noble soul and so on..."
Vivian poked Hao Ren in the lower back: "Stop squealing, you almost turned into a husky when you laughed just now, okay?"
Hilda smiled: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Exaggerating and describing it to you during the announcement can enhance people's confidence. I know what I said is a bit exaggerated, so don't take it seriously."
The smile on Hao Ren's face suddenly turned into a mosaic. He felt that communicating with this straight-faced queen would cost his life...
"The next step is to wait for the big move in three days." Hao Ren rubbed his face to regain his expression. "Have all the moving instructions I gave you been sent to your Presbyterian Council and the Council of Political Affairs? That's the goddess herself. Organized, it’s all based on the experience of the old races.”
"Of course, we can see the value of that document at a glance," Hilda smiled and nodded, "Wim almost regarded it as a divine revelation - well, it seems to be a divine revelation. Anyway, now we We are organizing a material inventory committee and a medical preparation team to ensure that there are enough medical staff and material dispatchers for each group 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 on Doudou Star is very good, you may still not adapt to the conditions there, especially alien diseases. This thing has taught many reckless races."
"Don't worry, the Erim elves have very magical medical techniques. Even without the assistance of equipment, we still have very powerful life magic," Hilda smiled proudly, "We are very confident in this."
"Take it easy," the data terminal muttered beside you. "Many races with more advanced technology than you have excitedly set foot on alien lands. They have also made full preparations, including dozens or hundreds of inspection and quarantine procedures - but in the end There are still only a few more guys being taught how to behave by alien cold viruses every year.”
Hilda's expression became serious: "Don't worry, I will take this issue seriously."
Hao Ren nodded, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by a sudden intruder: Wim ran in.
"Mother," the young regent said urgently, "there is indeed something going on with the Paradise Organization and some dissident groups!"
