Three minutes had passed, and Zalanda’s voice resonated once more, "This memory film named ’Pioneer’ will continue to be played in our city, bringing joy to many more people. Given our dense population and the overconcentration of residents, unnecessary troubles may arise.
Next, we will adopt the method of playing the film once a day in the suburban squares to the east, west, south, and north of the city, and tomorrow we will announce the corresponding playtimes and order.
I hope everyone will participate in only one of these, as we will be playing it daily for the next ten days."
The response from the premiere of ’Pioneer’ exceeded Zalanda’s imagination. This was just the first screening; many of Darama’s citizens were unaware of it.
After fermenting for one more day, the memory film will become known and understood by everyone in Darama.
If we were to show three consecutive screenings in one square, the surging crowd would burst the place.
The simplest method is to disperse the crowd.
Distance is the best weapon.
After watching the screening in the east of the city, it would be too late to go to the west.
One can only wait for another screening in the south or north of the city.
As to how to arrange it, we need careful deliberation tomorrow.
The strategy involved here is no less than that of a battle.
Without waiting for a reaction from the citizens of Darama, Zalanda continued, "Regarding Darama’s predicament, I believe everyone is already aware. We are trying to find a way out and encouraging all residents to save themselves. Now, we have formulated a core strategy encouraging a part of the population to immigrate.
Migrate to the Valley, land newly opened up in the Battle Valley by Baron Gaven.
This is not fleeing, nor is it abandonment, but rather a sacrifice made on behalf of those who stay behind.
Because traveling thousands of miles to an unfamiliar territory requires great courage, and there will be countless dangers waiting for you along the way.
But I believe, as long as we work together with one heart, we can overcome all difficulties.
As long as we stand united, the thousands of kilometers of migration will become a smooth path.
Because we are the Tesser People, we possess indomitable spirit.
Because we are Darama People, we fear nothing.
We will build new cities in the new territories."
"We are Tesser People, we are indomitable."
"We are Darama People, we fear nothing."
Guided by some determined individuals, the two slogans echoed through the entire eastern suburban square, inspiring countless people to boil with passion.
After the subtle shift in concept by Zalanda, the nature of the migration to the Valley had completely changed.
They were not refugees but pioneers willing to take responsibility and make sacrifices.
Those who had these intentions suddenly felt justified.
Those who were still undecided completely leaned toward the option of migration, their hesitation largely due to being unable to overcome their own psychological barriers.
Even those who did not initially have this intention were spurred into action, mostly young people.
At one side, Gaven was thoroughly impressed, acknowledging that Zalada far surpassed him in understanding of human hearts.
Her success was no fluke; his earlier gifting of books was merely adding fuel to the fire, and he had much to learn from her.
After the crowd had digested the news a bit, Zalanda continued, "Tomorrow, the immigration work will officially begin. We will set up a registration spot at each of the four city gates.
Those willing to immigrate, please register voluntarily.
We will conduct a preliminary screening.
Considering that it involves certain dangers and hardships.
Those above sixty years of age and children under ten will not be included in this round of immigration.
Families with the intention to migrate can send their young and strong to the new territory to establish a new home, and subsequently, relocate their families there.
Please trust me, I will take good care of your families.
Later, we will look for more convenient and safer methods of immigration, to ensure that you can be reunited with your family in the new territory."
Setting aside how the Darama citizens below were responding.
Gaven on the side was giving Zalada another round of mental applause.
Indeed, she was his Zalanda big sister, truly thoughtful of the people’s well-being, carrying the concept of sincere cooperation to its pinnacle.
This plan not only enhanced the safety of the Tesser Immigrants and reduced unnecessary casualties.
For Gaven, it was also very beneficial, as those who would first migrate to his territory would be a group of able-bodied young people, facilitating the launch of his grand construction.
However, at the same time, Zalanda’s pressure greatly increased, for those left behind in Darama would be the elderly, weak, and disabled.
"Now, please allow our Baron Gaven to say a few words." After announcing a series of decisions, Zalanda pushed Gaven to the forefront.
Of course, Gaven would not refuse Zalada’s favor, driving the Half-Moon Colt forward and wearing his Combat Armor, attracting all eyes on the square with his solemn demeanor, and he declared, "Lord Zalanda’s promise is also my promise.
I will treat all immigrants as my own lieges."
"I promise to provide for you in your youth, Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!"
"I will lead you to build a city of our own in the valley with our hands."
"As long as you do not fail me, I will never let you down."
Rumbling applause once again filled the square.
Gaven’s speech was short, but the promises made were not to be taken lightly.

But to actually achieve this is exceedingly difficult, especially for a Lord to ensure the entirety of his domain and lieges are taken care of in such a manner.
Especially in Thacel, those warlords only know how to take from their people and care nothing for their welfare.
"All banquets must come to an end, and it’s getting late, so let’s call it a day. Next, please leave the venue in an orderly manner and follow the directions of the on-site coordinators," Zalanda concluded the premiere of tonight’s memory film with a satisfying full stop.
The Darama people demonstrated their superior military discipline, despite most of them being civilians.
Most had undergone militia training, even though they hadn’t adopted the idea that following orders was their sacred duty.
But when it came to obedience, they were quite strong,
especially with Regular Army personnel present to arrange and direct.
Though the numbers were large, the dispersion was utterly orderly, ensuring no joyous occasion turned into a calamity.
