Chapter Twenty-Five: Recruits

It seemed to be just dawn, and Oreo was awakened by the noise in the streets.

Walking to the window, he saw two groups of soldiers running through the street shouting slogans, they were members of the Thunder Lion Legion.

"Angelyl."

Oreo shouted under his breath, and Angelyl sprang to her feet.

"Mr. Oreo, what's going on?"

Oreo said quickly.

"It's time for us to get up."

"Hmm."

Angelyl rubbed her eyes, wrapped herself in her clothes, and walked into the bathroom yawning.

Oreo had no intention of washing his face, he watched the soldiers go away, thinking to himself how he could bring the people back to Turin.

At the moment when the Venada people are invading, it is not inappropriate for the people of the third street to defend their families and defend the country, but he only resists the nobles and lords in the city.

Over the years, the empire has not restrained the military power of the nobles, they have heavy troops, but they still have to recruit troops from the back three streets, and by means of coercion.

No matter how you look at it, Oreo can't afford not to be angry, and he finally makes up his mind

- He had to take these people back to Turin.

Angelil quickly washed up, and the two of them hurriedly ate some breakfast downstairs before heading towards the Thunder Lion Army camp.

Ciudad del Mar is a medium-sized city, with a garrison of about 2,000 men. But the Thunder Lion Army is an assistant defense force, and before Macon came, they may have only a few hundred men, or even less.

There were many vendors at the entrance of the barracks, and many soldiers were purchasing supplies at the door.

These supplies are shipped from Turin at a third of the market price.

Judging from the uniforms, the soldiers belonged to two legions, the griffin army wearing red and black uniforms, and the thunder lion army wearing blue and white uniforms.

The barracks is a big place, and Oreo can't walk into it in a grand way.

After sprinkling invisibility powder on the two of them, Oreo took Angelyl's hand and walked into the barracks.

The atmosphere inside the barracks was completely different from the outside, and the soldiers quickly loaded the supplies onto the carts, which drove towards the city walls one by one.

The armory was almost empty, and a clearing had been cleared inside, dozens of soldiers were winding their bows and arrows, and hundreds of bows and arrows were piled up in the corners of the storeroom, and every once in a while someone was carrying the prepared bows and arrows out.

Feeling the sweat oozing from Angelil's palms, Oreo whispered.

"The Venadas are coming."

Angelyl said nervously.

"Isn't the city of Demar in the rear, why are the Venadas coming?"

"The seven cities in the east are not connected by walls, the Venadas can pick one to attack, Demar City is located in the middle of the east-west trade route, and the Venadians are likely to attack this city."

Pulling Angelyl away from the armory, Oreo sped up.

"But now it seems that the defenders must have gotten the news, otherwise they couldn't have been so nervous."

The two of them ran around the barracks and soon arrived at the school grounds.

At this moment, the school field was already full of soldiers, most of whom were wearing blue and white armor.

Seeing this, Oreo cursed secretly.

"Grandma's, the Venada are here!"

As soon as the words fell, a heavy trumpet sounded at the city wall.

Hearing this, the blue and white phalanx on the school field moved.

The blue-and-white phalanx looked out of place with the Griffons, they were definitely from the back three streets, but there was no timidity in their eyes, and they all seemed ready to fight for Okasim.

In less than a few minutes, the entire school yard was empty.

The soldiers ran out of the barracks, some of them ran into the city, and most of them flocked to the walls.

Having never seen such a big battle, Angelyl felt her heart almost skip out, and she held Oreo's hand, her lips pursed.

"Damn," Oreo muttered, "it's time for the Ocassims to fight for Okasim, and we'll go to the walls...... We'll talk about the rest until that's over. ”

Angelyl nodded, clutching Oreo's hand tightly.

After a few moments, several officers standing at the front of the school yard walked briskly, and Macon was among them.

One of the officers said worriedly.

"What if the Venada soldiers come?"

The other said nonchalantly, he was a griffon soldier.

"I've informed the Commander of Gaia with the Navoli Conch."

The man muttered earlier.

"Gaia is in Stari City, and the Venadas will definitely attack there first, can we still have manpower to assist us?"

"Huh,"

Someone snorted coldly and said, "So we have to defend Demar City and share the worries of the Gaia Commander, right?" ”

The officers were soon gone, and Macon was always with him, not saying a word, and his eyes were resolute.

Pulling Angelyl's hand, Oreo whispered.

"We follow Macon, and if he is as brave as he is, I can consider letting him go."

"Hmm."

Angelyl answered, and her mind was in a trance as she watched the bustling barracks become empty in a matter of minutes.

So this is war......

Don't the nobles of Turin know that the Venadas have come, if they do...... What the hell are they doing?

There was no smile on Oreo's face, and he followed closely behind Macon and climbed the command tower with the officers.

As far as the eye can see, the dust on the desert has been lifted by the horse's hooves, and with an unstoppable momentum, the Venada cavalry is coming!

The Griffons had dealt with the Venadans quite a bit, and the Deputy Commander Alessi said immediately.

"The front lawn of Demar City is full of solid stones, we can't set traps, the Venadians will never be stupid enough to attack the city with cavalry, they must have brought soldiers!"

Another burly officer shouted as he walked down the tower with a spear in hand.

"Prepare the dragon crossbow!"

"Zhang Gong!"

"Is the sorcerer in place?"

The tower was suddenly occupied by a loud roar, and the generals took orders from Alessi and rushed down the city one by one.

With the victory of Stari City ahead, everyone has the expectation of the looming battle.

As long as you can defeat the soldiers, a big victory is within reach!

Seeing that Macon was the only one left in the tower, Alessi reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Deputy Commander Macon, you've been working hard these days...... These recruits have been training for more than two months, so they should be able to build a bow, right? ”

Macon said with an unchanging face.

"Commander Alessi, the training intensity of my Thunder Lion Army is definitely above the average level of the Empire."

Alessi smiled, and the smile was reluctant.

"Macon, we're on the same level, you can call me Deputy Commander, or call me Alessi...... The Venadas are coming, let the archers take their arrows. ”

"Yes."

Macon clenched his hands into fists and turned to walk down the wall.

From the conversation between the two, Oreo roughly understood what was going on.

The Thunder Lion Army are all noble young masters, and those recruits who have been training for two months were originally going to come to the eastern border to assist in the defense, but this year, the Venada people really attacked, and they naturally did not come here to die.

Therefore, they took people from the people of the back three streets to take their place, and if they won, the credit will be on their heads, but the people who died are all the people of the back three streets.

"Hoo ......"

Oreo was already numb, and he sighed and followed after Macon.
