Chapter 29: The Refugees

The officers looked at the Governor, who had switched from a panicked surrender faction to a passionate and generous main battle faction in an instant, and they couldn't help but show admiring expressions for a while.

"It's rare for the Governor to understand righteousness, and it's really admirable." Eleanor shook the Governor's fat hand with emotion, and said, "However, the troops under the command of the lower officials are insufficient, can the guards of the Governor's Mansion also be handed over to the unified command of the lower officials?" ”

You're going to pry at this corner? His Excellency the Governor nodded in pain.

"In addition, if it's not too troublesome, hand over the city shield command, drone position, and planetary cannon to the lower officials, right?"

"This, this, the rest is easy to say, but the planetary cannon ......"

"Lieutenant Cruise, say, why are you here? Is it an escape, is it a theft of public weapons! ”

"I've thought about it! The city's largest fortress cannon is the most important weapon of the state, and it is legally supposed to be managed by the Governor's Palace and the Civic Council, but now is the very time, and I will write a warrant for the central control room to obey your orders. ”

"Also, the strength of only 3,000 people is overstretched after all, and even a few outposts on the periphery can't stand. I hope that you will recruit at least 10,000 men of the provisional militia in the name of the Governor's Palace, put them under the control of the garrison command, and open warehouses to distribute weapons to them. Oh, by the way, militia recruitment requires a settling-in fee. The subordinate is a poor soldier, and he really doesn't have this net worth. ”

The implication is to use the financial subsidy of the Governor's Office. If the Governor's Mansion can't do this account, the Governor can also let the Governor privately subsidize it, so the Governor of the Mountain Temple jumped like thunder: "You, you don't want to get an inch!" ”

"Cruise, the national silverfish! A mere second lieutenant is so rampant! Say, is there a collusion behind it? ”

"Give it, give it, I'll give it, I'll give it all!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Governor, for your great support! On behalf of 700,000 civilians and 3,000 troops, I thank you! Eleanor smiled, quite brightly but also quite wickedly, and then pulled out her pistol and immediately shot it through the head of Second Lieutenant Cruise. His wailing came to an abrupt end.

His Excellency the Governor looked at the dead Cruise with mixed emotions, then at Eleanor, and gritted his teeth: "You, you are very good......" He himself didn't know whether he was happy or resentful, but left an indignant but useless threatening look, and then left with a sad posture.

The officers were silent, and they all felt chills in their hearts as they looked at the corpse of Cruise who had been dragged out. But they also know that if they don't carry out this woman's orders well, they may be next. If you think about it carefully, this crazy woman used a pistol instead of the Vulcan cannon on the mecha when she killed Cruise, which is already a bit decent. Actually, really, it's still possible to communicate well, right?

And so, the string tauted by fear rattled like this, snapped by greater fear and Stockholm syndrome, and then a frenzy of self-abandonment ensued.

"The million sandmen out there are just a million pigs! Please rest assured, sir! We'll cut off the heads of those barbarian chiefs and come back and tie them in necklaces!" Major Sanga patted his chest and assured Eleanor.

"Yes, sir, we are strong and strong!"

"Fight, sir!"

"Let's fight!"

"Very good gentlemen, but you can't fight yet! To achieve complete victory, it is necessary to be patient for the time being, and wait for the time to come. First of all, it is necessary to continue to ensure the surveillance of the enemy, and in addition, the recruitment of the militia must be stepped up. Everything, please everyone. ”

The officers went majestically. Seeing that they were far away, Eleanor suddenly smiled "poof": "Uncle Louie, I bet that the spirit of these people will only last for three days at most. ”

"It's not short. The lord once said that an hour can decide the outcome of a battle. ”

"yes, so we can only hope that the scheduled reinforcements will arrive."

Major Dorset rolled his eyes covertly, but he was still looked at by Eleanor, and said angrily: "I'm not talking about Yuli and the stragglers who rushed back from the outside station, I'm talking about the outer ring ......"

"I didn't say anything! Miss. ”

Eleanor let out a "tsk" and began to play with her pigtails again in frustration.

"In addition, compared to the guards at the outer military station, those refugees who are rushing here are even more worrying!"

Eleanor Bonaparte was silent for a moment, patted her head, and let out a headache sigh for the first time.

Yes, there are about 700,000 citizens in the Blue Star community in New Yumen Star, of which more than 600,000 live in Tulon. The rest are concentrated in small, fortified towns, plantations, and mining areas, and a transportation network monitored and protected by watchtowered military stations, which forms the basis of the community's domination on the planet - sound familiar?

The small, fortified strongholds were heavily armed, mercenaries, and armed mobs, but they were not afraid of the attacks of ordinary sandmen. But the size is limited, and once the sandfolk have gathered an army and have (I don't know where to get it) weapons, these strongholds are quite dangerous. Some leaders are unwilling to give up their life's property and choose to stick to it; Others will subconsciously drag their families to what they think is the safest place for them, which is Toulung.

But the problem is that the army of the sand people has gathered too quickly - in fact, it is not that they are too fast, but the people in the intelligence department of the garrison are too slow to react - and it is unknown how many refugees are blocked outside the city, and it is unknown whether they are alive or dead.

Now, there is a group of more than 300 refugees, after nearly a week of trekking, seeing that they are getting closer and closer to Tulong Port, everyone's mentality is much more relaxed.

Wang Yougui, the plantation owner sitting in the cab of the cart, stuck out his head from the window, "Xiaokaizi, our big cart and big livestock are fine." ”

"My name is Kelvin...... Forget it, boss, don't worry, it's almost Tulon. The answer was a cowboy in his thirties, with a pistol pinned to his waist on his back, riding on a genetically modified sandy horn horse, and following the convoy as fast as he could, but without any fatigue.

In Xinyumen, the so-called plantations are often tens of thousands of acres. In addition to those spice farms, there are also large areas of artificially cultivated pastures for grazing, which naturally require cowboys. These people, in addition to helping the owner graze and serve the farmland, also have to play guest bodyguards. On average, everyone has more than one (Shamin's) life.

When they first escaped from the plantation, they were a little weak, but as the neighbors and townspeople around them gathered together more and more, everyone gradually relaxed.

Now, with twenty large and small vehicles, more than fifty pack beasts, and more than two hundred guns, they don't feel that the average Sand Folk Horse Gang poses a threat to them.

However, Wang Yougui has life experience as an elder. "The more you get to the ground, the more careful you have to be. I've been feeling panicked lately, and now all I have left is the spices in the car, and I have to sell them to get some money back. ”

"Don't worry, Councilor Jiang said, we will definitely persuade the businessmen to buy our goods at a discount. You won't have much to lose. When the sandfolk are gone, we can go home again and start again...... "so that my job and my salary will be saved."

"Xiao Dongzi? I watched that kid grow up, and I didn't know he was? Since I was a child, I haven't had a few words of truth, and the more I stool, the more I stool! After reading a few books, I don't look like a person all day. I can't believe it......"

Cowboy Kelvin listened absentmindedly, his eyes glancing at a certain truck behind him from time to time.

Wang Yougui said angrily: "That little widow still carries an oil bottle!" ”

"I, I know...... "Anyway, I'm just a lost dog whose wife and children are sick and dead, and no one should dislike anyone."

"She's still a college student, so she can't look down on you as an embryokiller."

"This, it doesn't matter. The last time I brought her food, she smiled at me and gave me a book to read. Cowboy said that he couldn't read literary novels, but he felt that this must be the germ of true love. His wife and son died of illness and he lost his job and had to run to the colony to work as a cowboy, and it has been five or six years now, and it is time to start a new life.

"Forget it, it's unreliable, I'd better go and discuss it with the eldest lady from that alliance." The old farmer shook his head angrily, but he felt that he couldn't pull down the smile of his granddaughter who could be his granddaughter in a grade, so he was suddenly entangled, rolled his eyes and leaned back in the chair.

His gaze naturally slanted upward, and then suddenly froze. Behind the ridge in front of them, a group of sandmen riding speed dragons showed their heads and immediately let out excited screams.

Of course, the cowboy Kelvin also found the clue, quickly rode back, and shouted as he galloped: "Someone is coming, old people, women and children, don't get out of the car, men take guns, quickly get guns and get ready to fight!" Miss Marr, don't get out of the car, be sure to take a good look at little Lena! ”

On the bus, a delicate and elegant woman and the cowboy who swept by the window looked at each other, and the eyes were flowing in a flash, but they were already thousands of words. She hugged her little daughter tightly and silently prayed to the spirit of the universe.

Cowboy Kelvin continued to gallop and ran to the largest RV in the center of the group: "Mr. Stearn, Mr. Stearn, there is an enemy attack!" ”

"I see it." The mercenary Asher Stein unhurriedly stood up on the roof of the car and calmly stuffed his large pistol into a magazine.

It was a man of about twenty-five years of age, with a grim face, dark skin, a muscular body like a black panther, short bronze hair, and topaz-colored eyes. It seems that this is naturally a member of the human race, but the earthlings know at a glance that he must not be earthlings.

He is a mercenary and adventurer from the Free Galaxy Alliance, and is now Councilor Jiang Yudong's bodyguard.

And his employer, now trembling in the car, showed his head and asked in a low voice, "Uh, Asher, there is an enemy coming, we ...... here"

"Don't worry, Mr. Councillor, if it's just those sand people riding big lizards and carrying earthen guns and bows and arrows, I will definitely be able to keep you safe with another 10,000 people." The corners of Asher Stein's mouth curled up into a nonchalant but wicked smile.

"Well, that's good......" The councillor relieved. Although I don't like the other party's greasy and frivolous attitude, I still trust his professional ability.

"Of course, if the sandmen have tanks, I can't do anything about it, hahaha...... , they really have tanks! ”

Niang Xipi, your uncle! Why do you want to learn how to speak with me?

Congressman Jiang Yudong was immediately overwhelmed with grief and indignation.
