Chapter 702 Assemble for Battle

Onike joined the defense of the city, she came sooner than expected, and although she initially rejected Charlene's plan, she is now relieved. If someone wanted to die immediately, even if he was just a child, Onique decisively took on the task of uniting the people, leaving the most dangerous things to Charlene, who was relatively weak.

If the enemy is always watching you, they will still be ready to defeat you when you chase you again; However, if it is a newcomer, and a figure they are not familiar with appears, they can defeat all enemies in one blow, and the effect is conceivable.

The person who came up with this explanation was Ashiya Michimitsu, and the old spellcaster had asked for it with interest, which made Onique even more disbelieving in the truth and perfunctory nature of his words. However, none of this is meaningless, the important thing is that Onique is now standing here, standing near this bridgehead to supervise the work.

A few minutes later, according to the agreement, the leaders of this side of the position gathered, and they stood in front of Onique to wait for the dispatch, and sure enough, only Onique could order them to assemble, and it would have taken a lot of effort if Charlene had come. In addition to the leader of the group, the people who were working in the nearby field could also hear clearly, and Onique ordered that all the people in the house be mobilized, and that they must quickly join the patrol of the streets and the defense of the edges.

Women and children were not required to join the battle, but they had to appear in the magic shed in the clearing, where the work of needles and threads or cooking soup and dressing had to be handed over to them; The mobilized citizen men will join the canal in the nearby area. Road clearing, daily patrols.

When one of the leaders worriedly asked Ornic if he had been issued a weapon, Onenick, as the leader, smiled cheerfully and said, "Do you need to talk about that?" Of course, it was to distribute handy weapons and equipment to all citizens in order of ability, and the armory and the pharmacist's clinic treated them as if they were regular soldiers. ”

At Ornik's order, the people present became even more nervous, their eyes showed a look of disbelief, and the whites of their eyes trembled as if they were looking for answers to each other. The old man, who was still in the lead, reaffirmed in disbelief: "Lord Onique, it seems that it is not in accordance with the rules to issue weapons to the whole people to mobilize for battle. It's kind of like ???"

"Like a rebellion?" Onique looked the old man in the eye indifferently. This direct gaze caused the frightened old man to immediately retreat. Onique found that in fact, everyone could not believe such a thing, and no such thing had happened in the academy in the past and present, but in people's deep memory, there was actually a mobilization like a riot. But what happened then. At least the changes at that time did not have an impact on the present. Understand everyone's concerns. Onique tilted his head, looked at everyone, and said, "Because it looks like a rebellion, are you scared?" Or is it because it's too scary to do so. Do you blame the action on rebellion? Don't think too much about it, human beings have to take up arms and fight when necessary, instead of obeying other people's persuasion and boring rules, everyone wants to live so follow me today with weapons to live. Enemies from the countryside may be living corpses, human beings who are delirious to the extreme, or even terrible demons, but those who stand before me today will not hesitate, for you have those closest to you by your side, and it is time to decide whether to submit to the past or to take your life and future into your own hands. Those who are willing to fight will stay here to receive weapons and orders, and those who are not willing are no longer qualified to remain in my jurisdiction, and when the decision is over, I will expel you to the country, so that you will not cause great trouble in the barracks. Now take your chances, everybody, but only once. ”

Everyone hesitated for a moment, but no one dared to move except for Onike, it was still raining in the open space of the square, and behind was the residential area of this area, and Ornik's voice amplified by magic had already been heard by everyone inside, if it was to talk about progress, it was probably waiting for their own enlightenment. If humanity is cornered, and there are dangers before and after, will people act towards depravity or hope? Onique wants to see, and at the same time, Onique is willing to use himself as a tongue to make this group of people change once, or try to change once, this is Charlene's wish. The teenager who did the most dangerous work may still be pursued now, maybe he has been killed, although it is okay to say that he is to blame, but at least as the last wish of the teenager, Onique is bound to make it come true, and the whole people must be mobilized in this time of crisis.

Before Onnick could speak again, there was a stirring in the crowd below, and something approached the leader of the group, an old man in light armor but wearing a steel helmet, and a part of his beard and white hair were showing out of the helmet opening. Apparently seen by Onike, the old man was injured, and the injury was very direct, almost stabbed in the face by something. The old man rushed to the crowd, and everyone was so frightened that they got out of the way, lest they be contaminated with something unclear and inexplicable: "Of course I agree to join, I, count me in, I've seen that kind of thing if you don't do something after devouring the living, you can only die." ”

"What is your name, sir?" Onique stood by his side, not avoiding him like a normal person, she was interested in the identity of the person who had broken the silence first, and with this realization she decided to give something to the old man if necessary.

"Joseph, they call me crazy Joseph, I'm a wartime veteran, well, a scout." The old man's words caused a commotion among the local citizens, but Onike's eyes were sharp enough to see through it, and the people present or hiding in the houses to peek immediately fell silent.

"Crazy ??? Very well, so why are you so sure you want to be involved? ”

"Because??? Because of fear. The old man's words caused a burst of laughter in the audience, but then Onnick's gaze once again suppressed everyone, and everyone became attentive. The old man choked up and continued, "It doesn't matter if no one has experienced war. If I have the chance, I will sue God that this is hell after all, that they devour each other and kill each other, and I have seen with my own eyes that there is a great deal of destruction in the town like this. Houses collapsed, humans died, but in the end, the terrible dead stood up and turned into demon-possessed beasts, and they would not show mercy. I was thinking that instead of waiting for death, I should stand up and fight again, I wanted to live. It's not for any righteousness. Old man, I just wanted to live, to live a vile life, so I found the old armor full of cobwebs, and I armed myself to travel from town to town. While the order was delivered, it was also waiting. I'm waiting for at least someone to sue me for something. I was really scared, all the time, but I just couldn't stop. ”

Onique nodded. She seemed to understand the impulse and waved the old man back for a moment, and she turned, this time more clearly towards the humans in the housing area, or probably most of the speculators of the humans. "It's a contradiction that everyone in the building is speculators, and they want to live in peace but don't want to get involved in the war," said Onic. People are creatures that collide and rub together, and if you still want to preserve the way you live today, if you really value the people around you, then you should think about what happens when you lose a qiē. Gentlemen, a fearful person is the most real, he said all your expectations, now show your courage and responsibility, everyone can live, otherwise don't blame me for not making the situation clear in advance. I have to kill the timid and retreating in order to protect the people who need to fight, the survival of the fittest in nature, this is the law of survival of the wise in society, gentlemen, make a decision, and the people who fight will come out and come close to me. ”

The people around the square looked in all directions, and the guards and guards who were originally working stood up and expressed their willingness to follow, but the silence in the residential area was sad, and even the lights seemed to be extinguished in the dark area, did everyone go to sleep? There were obviously so many lights before, and there were still so many people???

Onique waited helplessly, Joseph shook his head sadly, covering the wound that had dried up to stop the bleeding, and the old man of the garrison was helpless, he was originally a man who kept to himself.

However, suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the silent night sky, and strange voices moved in the front row of the dark residential area. The door of the row of houses closest to the outside was suddenly opened, one, two, three, and the inhabitants of the small houses and high-rise buildings, whether high or low, walked out slowly as if they were attending a party. Seeing people go out, and then from other buildings, from the courtyard, more people, men, women, old people and children, even partially disabled, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, these people are either newlyweds, or old people with children and grandchildren, they all walked with resolute steps to approach the platform where Onike was, everyone understood what would happen in the future, but they still appeared.

Although there is no way to save their lives in war, whenever people think of the most important people who need to be protected on the battlefield, they will contribute their own strength, do their best and even exhaust a qiē, this is the determination and potential of human beings, this is the point that Charlene can understand and look forward to the most as a weak person, Onique is very happy in his eyes.

Then something even more unexpected happened to Onique, and a strange signal came from the bridgehead, that a group of men and horses numbered no more than a hundred, but were approaching the garrison in groups with baggage. Everyone stood there and waited, both old and young looking at Onnick, who looked at him from afar.

As she approached the bridge, Onique saw the carriage in the procession, and she recognized the marks on it, and saw the owner of the carriage appear. Andor? Michel got out of the carriage, and the fortifications near the bridgehead saw Onique, and the young woman cried out happily, "It's Onique, I predicted that you would be here." ”

As soon as Onek raised her hand and put it in the front of the team here, she immediately gathered with Andor, who was in charge of leading, she didn't know why this noble woman appeared. Then Andor also approached Onique earnestly and said: "I have mobilized all the servants and retainers of the country, and gathered those who are willing to be with me, and I will make them submit to you, and now arrange for them to go to other posts in the city." ”

Under the order of the hostess, the armored knights and heavy armored swordsmen behind Andor all saluted in unison, causing a large roar, and the dozens of lightly armored warriors behind them were basically composed of peasant households, they were either holding hoes, or carrying nail rakes, kneeling downward, and for a moment this scene made Onique inspired.
