Chapter 100: John and Jon (1)
After getting what he needed to take with him, Nevsky left without stopping, and Lelouch gave them six horses in addition to six oxen, two horses for each of them, in the hope that they would be able to reach the sacred mountains as quickly as possible, after all, in the mountains, horses are too small.
Nevsky and Lelouch don't have too many words, and they don't seem to need too many words, although Nevsky looks extremely reckless, but Lelouch knows that Nevsky is actually extremely cautious and smart, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as wise and foolish, since he asked Lelouch to prepare 5,000 sets of weapons and equipment, it means that Nevsky will definitely be able to bring back 5,000 knights.
"By the way, bring Nevsky's drawings and take a look!"
Lelouch seemed to have a sudden idea of something, and asked Kenon to take a look at the design drawings of the heavy cavalry that Nevsky had requested.
Looking at the drawings handed over with a strange face, although Nevsky's painting skills were not very good, Lelouch still grinned when he saw the extremely bold style of painting.
"If it is such a thousand knights, it is worth Nevsky's pride. ”
...
Nevsky is gone, but the development of Lelouch continues, although the garrison has completely absorbed the population of the original Limburg triangle so that the entire garrison plain has begun to build, but the number of people is too small after all, the overall construction speed is still too slow, even if it is the focus on the development of the Bankel industrial area, it only uses less than 5,000 construction teams, and it is these 5,000 people who are also responsible for road development, the restoration of the original castle, the construction of new factories, the relocation of the old industrial area, Keep producing and so on, so these 5,000 people seem like a lot, but in fact it's still too little.
Although the church behind El has mobilized a large number of people to move to the garrison, with Lelouch White City's legendary record, the crowd has also repaid great trust in Lelouch, of course, in addition to trust, there is also the actual living standard of the people under Lelouxiu, which is really good.
If nothing else, at least the stable life and abundant goods are enough to make everyone blush, and the most eye-catching thing is Lelousian's extremely benevolent agricultural policy, which divides the land according to the head and free of charge!
Where there is land, there is everything.
The agitation of the church may be one thing, but the reason for the success of the church's agitation is to a large extent the successful case of Lelouch's governance.
...
Heavy rain washed the earth mercilessly, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, bringing bursts of thunder, and the night was black.
A small camp shivered under the heavy rain, a few small lights, struggling desperately, and dozens of simple small tents trembling in the wind.
"Come on, eat it, this is a freshly boiled potato, serve it hot!"
A rough middle-aged man holding a steaming potato walked into a small tent crowded with five people, an equally rough woman, and four young children.
The children watched with bright eyes as they walked into their father's hand, and in the man's hand was a small potato, so small that even if it was divided among the four children, it was not enough, but even so, the mother was very happy, he took the potato, carefully divided it into four petals, and happily handed it to the four children.
"Mom and Dad, don't you want to eat?"
A child took a serious bite and looked timidly at his father, whose eyes were extremely bright in the dark tent with no lights.
"Eat, Dad has already eaten, Mom will go out with me to eat later!"
Of course, the father's lie is ridiculous, but the children believe their father, and when they hear this, they happily deal with the potatoes in front of them.
The mother wrapped the bedding on the children's bodies vigorously, pulled out a linen scarf from behind her, wrapped it around her head, followed her husband, and walked out of the tent.
The rain was still falling, and the sound of the rain lapping on the leaves was particularly intense.
"Old man, where did these potatoes come from?
"Shh~"
The man looked cautiously at the tent behind him and made a small motion:
"Don't let the children hear it, it's Father Del gave us, it's Father Del's dinner!"
When the woman heard this, she covered her mouth instantly:
"Oh my God, merciful priest, he is truly an angel sent by the Son of God to save us. ”
"Well, it's time to go to the priest's tent, the priest said there is something important to announce today!"
The man and the woman carefully walked through the mud in the rain, and walked outside the tent with few small lights, and two young men stood at the door, they looked around cautiously, and when they saw the man and woman, one of them greeted them warmly:
"Uncle Angkuo, you are here, hurry up and go in, my father has been here for a long time!"
The man nodded:
"Little John, you're such a lucky boy that you have the privilege of working for the priest, how is it, what's going on with your stall?"
The young man replied with great joy: "The priest has already said that when I get to the territory of the Son of God, he will recommend me to go to the army of the Son of God and fight for the Son of God!"
Fighting for Lelouch seemed to be an extremely exciting thing for young people, and his face was full of excitement and anticipation as he said this.
"Is it Angkuo outside? Come in quickly, I'll be waiting for you!"
The man nodded slightly to the young man and stepped into the tent.
The inside of the tent was extremely warm, filled with dense crowds, and the temperature inside seemed to be warm because of the crowd, the crowd surrounded the innermost person, in front of which sat some old or middle-aged people, and young men and women stood behind them, Ang Kuo was able to sit in front of him because he was the blacksmith of this small camp, and in front of the crowd was an old man in a very thin, shabby priest's suit, and in the current rainy night, the thin clothes obviously could not stop the invasion of the cold.
The old man wore a wooden cross around his neck and a wooden stick in his right hand, and his old face was full of kind smiles.
"Okay, the reason why I called you here today is because I have news to tell you, good news!"
The priest added a sentence at the end of the day, and the crowd looked at the priest reverently, waiting for him to continue.
"I have received a revelation from the Son of God, we have approached the territory of the Son of God, and after learning of our suffering, the Son of God has sent his knights and warriors to meet us, and tomorrow morning, all promises, will be fulfilled!"
The priest's words made the crowd instantly warm, and the crowd that had suffered from the migration finally showed a rare joy and passion.
"Great, we're finally saved!"
"Long live the Son of God, thank you for the kindness and kindness of the Son of God!"
"The Son of God is truly omnipotent, He knows our suffering, and has come to our rescue!"
The crowd happily discussed, and in the midst of this discussion, a question arose:
"Father, will all promises be fulfilled? will we get a free house?"
The priest nodded kindly.
"And free farm tools, seeds?"
"And five acres of land for everyone, and all cultivation is not taxed?!"
"Don't worry about orcs attacking and looting!"
The mouths of the crowd kept asking them the questions they were most concerned about, faith, which was based on a full meal, and in the face of these questions, the priest smiled and nodded yes, and the crowd who received the priest's affirmation seemed to have forgotten the hunger, forgot the cold, and felt that they were in a warm big house at this time, sitting around the meat pot, and their cellars were full of food.
The excitement of the crowd lasted for nearly half the night, and after everyone had finally fallen asleep with a face full of hope, the old priest walked to a place where no one was many, and whistled, when he saw a small white bird fly down and land on the priest's arm, and the priest took out of his robe the white rice that should have been consumed and fed it to the bird.
Then he put a letterhead on the bird's leg, and let the bird flutter its wings and fly south, and the pigeon climbed quickly, and flew hard in the sky under the heavy rain, and continued to move forward along the avenue, and soon, the extremely majestic figure of the horn castle appeared in the eyes of the carrier pigeon, and he circled and landed on a platform in the horn castle, where stood the busy attendants.
"Migrants with number 467 have arrived at the border, and the crowd is emotionally stable and can accept the immigration arrangement. ”
"There are two technicians, a blacksmith and a professional farmer. ”
"Three reserve soldiers, one of whom has been a knight's squire for two months, can ride horses!"
"The team is on the road and is expected to arrive at 6 a.m. ”
"The case fatality rate is 4 percent, and the starvation rate is 3 percent, which is in a manageable range!"
...
In the hall behind the platform, the attendants and church attendants in delicate and warm uniforms sat in the spacious and bright hall, drinking steaming tea, and outside, countless carrier pigeons took off and fell, and they brought the situation of almost every immigrant team, and these conditions were counted and monitored here, and the final compiled data was sent to the archives for sealing, and at the same time, a copy of the data was handed over to Kenon, and finally reported to Lelouch.
This efficient management method naturally came out of the hands of Lelouch, and then under the processing of El, it became the 'ironclad proof' that the priest and the son of God could carry out telepathy, making the church and Lelouch more prestigious among the people.
After sending off the carrier pigeons, the old priest walked slowly back to the tent with a wooden stick, and little John at the door looked at the returning priest, and hurriedly went up with another companion to help:
"Father, you haven't eaten for two days, and you've let out the potatoes tonight, so don't go out every night to make rounds. ”
"Yes, you donated your cotton clothes to the four children of Uncle Aung Kuo's family, and although it is now winter, the weather is still too cold. ”
The priest interrupted with a smile of concern from the two young men:
"It's okay, I have the blessing of the Son of God, it's going to be fine, by the way, John, you go down and rest, and in a while the messenger of the Son of God will come, you should keep your spirits up, and strive to leave a good influence in front of the messenger, after all, you will all have the honor to fight for the Son of God in the future, and they will be your companions in the future." ”
John and Jon glanced at each other, their eyes filled with joy, and after carefully helping the priest back to the tent, they each took their own leave and went home to rest, and as to how they rested, only they knew.
As if at the first rays of morning light, the crowd awoke, and as they walked out of the tent toward the outskirts of the camp in a dazzled garment of hunger, they found where the priest was already standing.
"Father, what about the messenger of the Son of God?"
The crowd asked, slightly apprehensive and uneasy, as the priest turned his back to them and pointed to the avenue.
Where, a convoy is vivid!
