Chapter Ninety-Six: The Great War Is Coming
In the early morning, Oran, who was still asleep, was silent.
Suddenly, a rush of bells woke up all the people who were still asleep.
Hearing such an eager bell, no one complained about disturbing the dream. There was a consensus in the whole of Oran, and when they heard this bell, they immediately got up and began to make all kinds of preparations. Because they all understand that the most critical moment for Oran has come!
Around sunrise, it is often the time when people are most tired. Even at such a moment, the soldiers patrolling outside the city did not dare to relax their spirits. Obviously he was already very tired, but he still patted his cheek vigorously and forced himself to cheer up.
Soon, he rejoiced in his actions. Just finished patting his cheeks, lifted a little spirit, and looked into the distance. On the horizon, a little dark shadow appeared.
Beasts, beasts, beasts, beasts,
The soldier reacted at the first time and quickly sent a signal to inform his companions. At this moment, no one dragged back, and the information was quickly transmitted everywhere. Seeing the signal, the soldier sat on the old clock tower in the middle of the city, plucked up all his strength, rang the bell, and struck out the sound of urgency.
The sleeping people, as if instinctively, got up and prepared for battle. Every beast attack brought too much loss and sorrow, and gradually, the action against the beast began to sink deep into the bone marrow and become instinct. Like thousands of rehearsals, no matter the residents, no matter the soldiers, they move quickly and in an orderly manner.
Even outsiders like Seren and Kem were influenced by everyone in Orlan, and they got up at the right time and prepared quickly.
When Selena heard the bell, even though she was still pressed by Zhao Xue and her body was sore, she insisted on getting up. The sleep of a child at this age is very good, but even so, it did not make Zhao Xue wake up immediately.
It was impossible for Selena to leave Zhao Xue alone, nor could she abandon her actions, so she had to hug Zhao Xue and start a day's work.
For non-combatants like Selena, all that can be done now is to do a good job of logistics, so that the fighters who are fighting on the front line in the face of wild beasts have no worries.
When Syren was ready to appear in the hall, the tavern door was pushed open and a soldier walked in. This soldier was the guide sent by Anson to pick up Syren to the battlefield, and it seemed that Anson had been prepared for the hidden dangers that Syren might have.
"Shirley, Daddy has gone to deal with the beasts, come back and tell you the story of Daddy's heroic battle. ”
Ceren also knew that time was pressing and could not be delayed, so he said hello to Zhao Xue, who was still in a daze in Selena's arms, and left with the soldiers.
"Well, come on, Daddy. Daddy and Daddy, the best. ”
Zhao Xue was still confused, but she also reacted and replied to Seren vaguely.
Hearing Zhao Xue's answer, both Selen and Selena smiled, such a lovely daughter is really reluctant.
Leaving the tavern, Ceren had a fierce glint in his eyes. The daughter is living well in this city, if she really breaks through the city, it will definitely cause harm to Zhao Xue. How could you be allowed to threaten your daughter, so in order to prevent you from causing harm, you better die!
"Yo, the boss lady is early. ”
Kem appeared in the hall in high spirits and greeted the proprietress with a smile.
"Kem, you're pretty early, you're also a non-combatant, and you're new to the city, so there's no need to get up so early. ”
Selena replied as she prepared the supplies.
"Oh, it's not that I've seen everyone's efforts, and I'm also enthusiastic. I don't know how to fight, but I'm pretty confident in my skills. Although I don't have the materials to make new weapons directly, I can still repair and maintain existing weapons. It's bothering the boss lady, pass the news to everyone, and if you need it, come directly to my blacksmith shop, free of charge. ”
Kem smiled, knowing that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Oran, he had to contribute.
"Okay, no problem!"
In this case, Selena was of course happy to see it come to fruition, and directly agreed.
Soon after Kem left, Selena also made all kinds of preparations. Zhao Xue also woke up at this time, yawned a little, and then got up and looked around.
"Good morning aunt hostess, it seems that there is no one today. ”
"yes, Shirley, you're up too late today. Everyone, we're all going to fend off the beasts, and we can't fight like this, so let's help them in the back, send things or something. Come, have breakfast. ”
Selena touched Zhao Xue's head and said softly. While Zhao Xue was eating breakfast, he loaded the materials and food he had prepared before into the truck and prepared to send them to the square outside the City Lord's Mansion later.
"Aunt Boss, are Daddy and everyone going to do something dangerous?"
After eating, Zhao Xue came to Selena's side and watched her actions.
"yes, it's dangerous. That's why we need to help them, and don't put ourselves in danger, so as to solve their worries. ”
"In that case, Xiaoxue also has to help!"
"Okay, Shirley is so good. Let's help prepare these supplies and send them to the City Lord's Mansion, where the soldiers will take over and deliver them to the people who are fighting ahead. ”
This kind of task is not difficult, and it is still in the city, it is very safe, and Selena does not mind taking Zhao Xue with her.
With Zhao Xue and a cart of supplies, Selena walked to the City Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, Zhao Xue bit her fingers and watched Selena pull the car with difficulty, as if she was working hard. This made her not understand, is this car very heavy?
Although Selena is a proprietor, she doesn't have so much money to buy a carriage, so she has to get a cart and pull it herself. She didn't know that pulling such a car would be a breeze for Zhao Xue, and of course, she wouldn't think of Zhao Xue if she knew. Nonsense, this is a five-year-old!
Arriving at the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, Selena handed over the supplies to the quartermaster.
At this time, Selena and Zhao Xue both saw that a lot of materials had been piled up in the square, which were being received by soldiers one by one and transported to the battlefield.
These supplies were not actually requisitioned by Anson, but the residents spontaneously organized themselves to do their part. Therefore, the quartermaster accepted the supplies and registered them, which was naturally a great thank you to the residents.
In this regard, Selena just smiled and told the quartermaster not to take it to heart.
"After so many struggles, the people of Orlan know that the warriors outside are fighting for those of us who are still in the city. It's not good to just let them fight desperately, and we just sit back and enjoy it, we have to do a little bit. We can't go to war, so we're going to have to do what we can. ”
The quartermaster nodded again and again when he heard this, but Zhao Xue didn't know why. But she still listened to part of the words, holding her fingers in her mouth, tilting her head slightly, frowning cutely and thoughtfully.
