Chapter 212 Irony
In the end, Erling fulfilled his promise and successfully persuaded Duke Dorian Kalka to accept the conditions of handing over the families of the prisoners.

In the face of interests, the elderly, children, women and children have become complete commodities, without any human rights, and their fate is decided by those in power.

These are the common people. They cannot get any truth. Even if they are not sent to the "New World", they will be kept in the dark. They cannot even know the true situation of their relatives. They will only think that their relatives who went to the "New World" have really died.

In this matter, Wangbo Port's actions were not particularly glorious. In essence, they were just trying to expand their own power. They did not respect the opinions of the soldiers and their families, and were acting in a "bullying" manner.

Regardless of whether those people are willing to come to the "New World" or not, they have to obey the wishes of "Wangbo Port" and they have no power to choose.

Uther did not hesitate at all regarding the order he gave, and he did not think there was anything wrong with what he did.

Apart from anything else, bringing the families of these prisoners to the "New World" is definitely a good thing for them. Most of them will definitely live a better life, except for the families of senior officers and generals.

It's not that Uther is arrogant. The living conditions of most ordinary soldiers' families are definitely not as good as those of ordinary residents of "Wangbo Port".

After all, the families of ordinary soldiers did not receive any preferential treatment and were still the farm tools of the nobles. Most of the wealth they created through hard work had to be handed over to the nobles, and they could only make a living at best.

After arriving at "Wangbo Port", as long as you work a little harder, you will definitely live a better life than in the "Old World".

What's more, the treatment for joining the army in "Wangbo Port" is also very good. Although the soldiers often have to go on expeditions and patrol in the rainforest, their status and salary are not reduced.

Even the objects are allocated first, and this alone is already very attractive.

It is almost visible to the naked eye how much the soldiers of the "Magras Legion" are loyal to their country. They no longer consider themselves as people of the "Magras Province" and have all fallen into a state of "convert fanaticism".

What "Wangbo Port" gave them was completely different from what they had before in "Magras".

The families of those soldiers are completely different from when they first arrived. When they first arrived at "Wangbo Port", they all had complicated emotions. They all felt that they had no choice and were worried about their life in the new world.

And now, if you say you want to send them back, they will definitely not want to do so. They have all adapted to life in "Wangbo Port" and adapted to the various rules and regulations of "Wangbo Port". Now they are all loyal supporters of "Wangbo Port" and "Wangbo Port" is their real home.

The people from the "Province of Magras" immigrated and were really happy there and didn't want to leave.

No matter how much you say about the situation in "Wangbo Port", it will be useless. The real reactions of those Magrath soldiers and their families say it all.

Uther believed that the people from the "Carkanni Province" would be no exception. After arriving at "Wangbo Port" and adapting to life in "Wangbo Port", they would be glad that they came here and would become loyal supporters of "Wangbo Port". He firmly believed in this.

The people of "Kalkanni Province" did not know Uther's idea, and Erlin and Duke Dorian Kalka were not interested in it. They only knew that after transporting the elderly, the weak, women and children to "Wangbo Port", they would be able to make huge profits through trade.

So, after Erlin returned to the "Province of Calcane", he quickly started working, looking for the families of those soldiers and secretly gathering them together.

Erling had a list in his hand, and the way he got the list was quite despicable: through deception.

The target of deception, of course, was the captured soldiers of the "Province of Calcaneni". He revealed his identity and asked General Hubbard to provide him with the list.

There was not a single word of truth in what Erling said to General Hubbard.

Erlin said that he would try his best to rescue these people, and His Excellency Duke Dorian Kalka would not give up these two thousand soldiers. However, "Port Wangbo" was unwilling to let them go easily. They had to stabilize the situation first and then make long-term plans.

Hubbard naturally believed this statement. The death of one thousand soldiers and the capture of two thousand soldiers in an army of three thousand would cause considerable shock to the situation in the "Province of Kalkaenni". He also understood that Duke Dorian Kalka needed to stabilize the situation first, so he actively cooperated with Erlin.

So, Erlin successfully got what he wanted, and after returning to the "Carkanni Province", he sold them out, started looking for people everywhere, took them away by force, gathered them together and sent them to the ship to the "New World".

Although it was an exaggeration, they were actually very gentle to the families of these soldiers and did not treat them like slaves. What Uther wanted was living people, not a pile of corpses, although even if corpses were sent to them, they could still be recycled.

Soon, under Erlin's leadership, this matter was completed quickly.

Then Erlin and Duke Dorian Kalka were both a little overwhelmed, because the immediate family members of these two thousand soldiers gathered together, and there were more than eight thousand people. Except for some lonely families, most families had four or five people.

"These more than 8,000 people can be exchanged for a lot of people!"

Duke Dorian Kalka was very annoyed. This was a huge amount.

That is because these soldiers came from all over the "Carkanni Province", so these families were widely distributed. After gathering together, they had no major impact on the entire "Carkanni Province", and few people even noticed it.

"Your Excellency the Duke, you can't think like that. These are the elderly, the weak, women, and children. If you use them to exchange for others, they won't accept them."

Erlin spoke, reminding Duke Dorian Kalka that there was nothing wrong with what he said, and that was the fact.

"."

Dorian Kalka turned his head and glared at Erlin, then said nothing more and tacitly allowed these people to get on board. It was not easy to transport so many people at once. After all, they could not be crammed in like slaves.

"Let's ship it in two batches, twenty ships each time."

Duke Dorian Kalka made his decision, and it was a good opportunity to see the benefits of this trade. It couldn't be that just because they only shipped half of the goods, "Wangbo Port" would not trade with them? That would be a bit unreasonable.

"Okay, split those families up and send half of them over first."

Erling agreed with this idea, and he went a step further, which was to separate those complete families, send half of them first, and leave the other half in the "Province of Calcaneni".

For example, if there is a family of four, including father, mother, brother and sister, then send father and sister over first, and then leave mother and brother behind, and the main one is not a human being, which is really a bit outrageous.

"Just do it."

Dorian Kalka made the final decision. They couldn't just listen to the people from "Wangbo Port" and let them control them. They also wanted to show the temper of the "Kalkaenni" people!
How should I put it? It feels like I've chosen to be angry instead of feeling helpless.

When the twenty ships docked at "Wangbo Port" and the families of the captives disembarked, Erlin obtained a trading permit and was allowed to purchase goods from "Wangbo Port".

"Fur", "Uvod logs", "elven crafts", "elven fabrics", and of course, the most important thing is "sea salt", which is the flagship product of "Wangbo Port". It has low price, large output and good quality. In Erlin's eyes, it is a golden dragon!

Of course, "elven crafts" and "elven fabrics" are also very good products, and there is a good profit margin when shipping them back.

"This decision is indeed the right one!"

Erlin couldn't help but sigh, because even if all of these more than 8,000 old, weak, women and children were sold as slaves, it would not be enough to make a profit from this trade. As for keeping them to work and create value, it was unknown how long it would take to collect so many.

In the trading market, Erling is frantically shopping, while on the other side, a heartwarming scene of "family reunion" is taking place.

That’s not right. If you say it’s warm, it is indeed very warm, but if you say it’s perfect, it’s really not perfect at all, because half of the family members are still in the “Province of Calcaneni”.

Naturally, this news quickly reached Uther's ears. He had been paying close attention to this matter.

"These guys."

Uther was a little speechless about this little trick. What was the point of doing this? Wouldn't it be delivered in the end?

In response to this, Uther did not take any countermeasures and ignored it at all, because he felt that doing something about it would make him look idle. He was not a noble lord, and he was not as idle as Duke Dorian Kalka.

"why is that?!"

Hubbard had a dazed expression on his face. Looking at the soldiers who were acting out the scene of "a loving family", he felt as if the sky had fallen.

He couldn't understand why the families of these soldiers appeared here?

In fact, not only the soldiers' families came, but also the families of the generals came, and even Hubbard's two daughters were sent here.

"Father! What on earth is going on?"

The eldest daughter, who was already an adult, brought her younger daughter, who was only eleven or twelve years old. The eldest daughter had a very panicked expression on her face. She came to Hubbard and wanted to find out what had happened.

"."

Hubbard was bewildered. You guys want to know what happened, but he also wants to know what happened! This is completely different from what we agreed on!

"What is the fleet that brought you here doing?"

Hubbard forced himself to break free from his shock and confusion and asked his eldest daughter, hoping to get some useful information.

"Trade, Erlin is discussing trade with the people from Wangbo Port!"

Sonia spoke up and said that she and her sister Ginny got off the ship late and happened to hear Erlin and the people from "Port Wangbo" talking on the dock. That traitor from "Kalkanni Province" actually dared to treat them like this, which was simply unforgivable!

"trading."

Hubbard's expression was glazed as he repeated the answer.

At this point, if Hubbard still couldn't figure it out, then all these years had been in vain. They had been abandoned. That bastard Erling had deceived him and sold them all!
"Perhaps, from now on, I will really have no choice but to settle down in Wangbo Harbor."

Hubbard spoke up. He knew that Erling could not accomplish this task on his own. Without the support of Duke Dorian Kalka, Erling would not dare to do it even if he had a hundred guts.

"The little duke is so hurtful!"

Faced with this situation, Hubbard could only sigh. What else was there to say now? The "Carkanni Province" had abandoned them, so they couldn't blame them for breaking off relations!
Hubbard had always had a bad impression of the young Duke Dorian Kalka, and always felt that he was not very reliable. After this incident, Hubbard was even more certain of this: Dorian Kalka was definitely not a wise leader!

"Father, mother, and brother are still in the province of Kalkanni and haven't come yet."

Hearing Hubbard say that he wanted to settle down in this "new world", the eldest daughter Sonya quickly spoke up and said that not all of their family members came, only the two daughters came, and Hubbard's wife and youngest son did not come.

"Don't worry, it will come."

Hubbard had calmed down at this time. He comforted his two daughters. He had obviously figured out what was going on.

Since Erlin has already started trading with Wangbo Port, there is no doubt that the families of the soldiers who have not arrived yet will definitely come.

"Duke Erlindorian Kalka, since you have made this choice, we have no choice but to obey. Even if we have to fight in the future, it will be because of your coercion."

Hubbard's face was solemn. He had made a decision. From now on, he would completely stand on the side of "Port Hope". The actions of Erlin and Duke Dorian Kalka broke his heart. The deception and betrayal made their previous persistence a joke.

Looking at his two exhausted daughters, Hubbard's eyes were filled with heartache. He took them away and went straight to find Governor Uther.

Hubbard's request for an audience was of course immediately received by Uther, because Uther had been waiting for Hubbard to come.

Things had progressed to this point, and Uther felt that Hubbard would be touched to some extent.

Unless Hubbard is the kind of blindly loyal and die-hard person, he would definitely not be able to remain calm when encountering such a thing. This is naked deception and betrayal, and a mockery of their loyalty.
