Chapter 273: Pre-War Mobilization
"It seems that my old man used to live in vain, and the little guy doesn't know if you have a place to live in this baron's mansion. ”
"The senior means that I am ready to move into my baron's palace. Ji Yunfan said with some excitement.
"I just don't know if there is a place for me in your Baron's Mansion. Atley Wollaston laughs.
"Of course there is...... It was an honor for my predecessors to be able to settle in the Baron's Palace. ”
......
"Young Master Dante, after this period of development, our town already has more than 5,000 households, and the number of government soldiers has reached 4,000, including 5 fourth-order professionals, 20 third-order professionals, 100 second-order professionals, 400 first-order professionals, and the rest are ordinary combat force government soldiers...... The town is home to 23 chambers of commerce, and based on the number of residents and the scale of construction that the town of Grom on the West Bank now has, it is no longer possible to describe it as a small town. O'Neill Leonard said to Ji Yunfan.
"Uncle O'Neill, since the scale can't be described as a small town, let's officially change its name to West Bank Grom City. Ji Yunfan said with a smile.
"Okay, young master. O'Neill Leonard responded.
"By the way, Uncle O'Neill, I don't know how your body is recovering now?" Ji Yunfan said as he looked at O'Neill Leonard lightly.
"Young Master Dante, since the poison on my body has been removed, my own strength has recovered seven or eight percent, even if I encounter an ordinary eighth-order high-level powerhouse for a while, there is no problem. O'Neill Leonard glanced at Ji Yunfan very gratefully and said.
"That's great. ”
......
"Alarm is coming, everyone pay attention!" Just as Ji Yunfan and the others were discussing the development of the town, suddenly there was a noisy sound outside the door.
Ji Yunfan frowned suddenly, stood up, and said with a solemn face: "Uncle O'Neill, I'm afraid we're in trouble." ”
"Residents, everyone pay attention, the mountain bandits have appeared in the south of Grom City on the West Bank, and are rushing to this side, everyone is ready to fight!" Outside, there was a sudden loud shout from the street, all of which were messages about the arrival of the mountain bandits and the imminent invasion.
O'Neill Leonard, who was talking to Ji Yunfan, immediately exclaimed as soon as he heard the voice coming from outside: "Young Master Dante, let's go out and have a look!"
Ji Yunfan didn't talk nonsense, nodded directly, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the conference hall very quickly.
The streets are full of adventurers shuttling and merchants shouting loudly. These people were either drinking in the tavern or enjoying themselves in the ecstasy, and when they heard the news of the arrival of the bandits, they all left the room and poured into the streets.
Adventurers and mercenaries live a life of blood on the knife edge, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of danger. After they left the room, they all began to organize the weapons and armor of the battle in an orderly manner, and gathered on South Street following the source of the sound.
Ji Yunfan walked out of the baron's mansion, and when he came to the street, he found that even some children and women were holding a farm tool and standing in front of the door with an angry expression, it seemed that these people had a deep sense of belonging to the town, and they were not willing to get the stable life that they had obtained so hard, so it was over.
Ji Yunfan and the others were already standing in front of the hotel, and after a series of special training, the soldiers already had the appearance of soldiers, and they did not panic, and stood neatly in front of the Baron's Mansion.
"The mountain bandits are coming, we must not let him go back to destroy our homeland, these damn mountain bandits dare to invade West Bank Grom City, we must not let them succeed!" Some residents of West Bank Grom City raised their hands and shouted, as if they were afraid that Ji Yunfan would not see them.
At the mouth of the Baron's Mansion, in addition to Ji Yunfan and his gang, there were also groups of adventurer mercenaries. The entire town was literally full of soldiers, all of them were fully armed, and they were all waiting for Ji Yunfan's order.
"The inhabitants of Grom City on the West Bank, these hateful mountain bandits are here again, they want to plunder your land, rob your money, take away your wives and daughters, are you willing to let them do this?" Ji Yunfan said loudly while standing at the door of the Baron's Mansion.
"I don't want to! We don't want to!" Since Ji Yunfan came here, West Bank Grom has changed from the original town to the current city, and the people who live here have gone from being unclothed to living very rich now, they don't want to go back to the old days, many times ordinary people are very simple-minded, as long as they let them live a good life, they will do their best to protect it.
"Of course, now that we have our own army and a new defensive wall, it's not impossible to protect the entire town, so don't be too pessimistic. Ji Yunfan cheered everyone up.
Sia followed behind Ogden Rodney and Atley Wollaston, and in a few moments came to the door of the Baron's Palace. After arriving here, Sia saw that there were nearly 100 adventurers and mercenaries, as well as his brother Dante, who was engaged in a pre-war mobilization.
"Dante, do you need my help?" said Atley Wollaston.
"Where is there any need for such a trivial matter, Grandpa Atley, you can do it! I also plan to use these mountain bandits to train my government soldiers." Ji Yunfan explained with a smile.
"Yes, only after experiencing the baptism of war can these soldiers of yours be put to good use. Atley Wollaston nodded approvingly.
At this time, a young man dressed as a government soldier hurried over from afar, and it was not until he reached Ji Yunfan's side that he stopped and said with some breath: "Lord Baron Qiqi, more than three miles south of Grom City on the west bank, a large number of mountain bandits have been found, and the leader is their big leader, Scar Jace, and there are about 1,000 people. ”
"More than 1,000 people? It seems that this time the whole army of mountain bandits has been dispatched, and they have been busy with the development of towns these days, and they have not been exterminated. Ji Yunfan smiled indifferently, nodded and said.
"My soldiers, do you have this faith?"
"Yes! Defend the West Bank of Grom, defend the Baron. Almost all the soldiers shouted loudly.
"Do I still need your protection as a dignified fifth-order master?" Although Ji Yunfan was very moved in his heart, he still muttered quietly.
