Chapter 296: Emotional Stability
"I'll come out right here!" Hu Ye agreed loudly, made a helpless expression to Vanessa, and quickly got dressed and went out.
As for the female thief, of course, she would not go out with her, she obediently lay on the bed, and could not leave until the Brown Knight left.
As soon as Hu Ye went out, he saw the Brown Knight's nervous expression, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Knight Brown whispered, "Our eyeliner in Shining Gold Town has just sent a report that Count Rose's army has been dispatched. ”
"So fast?" Hu Ye frowned and said, "The deadline hasn't reached yet." ”
Knight Brown said with a solemn expression: "It seems that Count Rose did not fully believe in us either, and deliberately sent troops in advance, wanting to catch us off guard." ”
Hu Ye sneered: "It seems that he is not exactly a straw bag, and he knows that he will be caught off guard by us!" Fortunately, the wheat has been harvested, and we are not afraid of him. ”
The Brown Knight also said confidently: "That's right, with our current strength, we are not afraid of Count Ross at all." ”
Hu Ye asked the Brown Knight indifferently: "If Count Rose is defeated, will Shining Gold Town also become my territory?" ”
Knight Brown muttered, "It's really possible, as long as you defeat Count Rose, you will have the right to occupy his territory." But...... It still needs to be recognized by Stormwind. ”
Hu Ye smiled faintly and said, "If those bigwigs in Stormwind City are smart enough, they should admit it." ”
Of course, this is all for the future, and the most important thing for now is to deal with the upcoming Earl Ross first.
Hu Ye quickly instructed the Brown Knight to immediately notify Hammond on the other side of the mine and ask him to arrange for those miners to take shelter temporarily. For the current White Rock Village, the population is the most important resource, and these skilled miners cannot be allowed to be harmed by the army of Count Rose.
During Hu Ye's three months away, Copperbeard and Hammond found a secluded place on the White Rock Mountain and built a miners' shelter. There was enough food stored there to feed all the miners for two months. In World of Warcraft, wars between lords rarely last more than a month, and two months of food is more than enough.
Most miners would go to shelters and wait until the war was over before returning to work. There are also some miners with relatively high points who will come to Baishi Village to help the militia defend the village.
As for the official villagers of Baishi Village, of course, they will return to the village protected by concrete walls. Now that the village has plenty of food and even enough meat, plus strong fortifications and ferocious firepower, there is no need to worry about security.
Knight Brown left in a hurry to convey Hu Ye's order. At this time, Vanessa came out of the room and asked Hu Ye in a low voice, "Are we really going to fight with Count Rose?" ”
Hu Ye nodded lightly and said, "That's right, it seems that this war is inevitable." ”
Vanessa said hatefully, "I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" ”
Looking at the hatred on Vanessa's pretty face, Hu Ye couldn't help but sigh secretly. Count Rose is Vanessa's father-killer, and it's normal for a female thief to think like this.
However, Hu Ye didn't mean to stop Vanessa, just held her shoulder and said seriously: "You have a chance to take revenge, but don't forget what you promised me just now, don't take risks!" ”
Hearing the deep concern in Hu Ye's words, Vanessa smiled at him and nodded solemnly: "I promise you!" ”
Hu Ye smiled with satisfaction, grabbed Vanessa's slender waist and said, "Actually, it's easy to take revenge, as long as you find Count Rose and shoot him with a sniper rifle, everything is done." ”
The female thief nodded approvingly, "That's right, I've been able to accurately hit a target a thousand steps away, and as long as that bastard appears in my sight, I can avenge my father!" ”
In response to the enemy's attack, Shiraishi Village has held a number of exercises. So when the day really came, everything was going well. Everyone followed the process that they were familiar with, and everyone was very calm and did not panic at all.
The miners, led by Hammond, left the mine and went to the shelter, taking all their belongings with them, not even the iron pickaxe for Count Rose.
The last batch of lepobole was also transported back to the village by horse-drawn cart, and Screw Berger would not have any harvest in the mine.
On the side of Baishi Village, the villagers have returned to the safety of the village, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Although they were facing an earl's army, the villagers didn't show much panic. In the past six months, Hu Ye has given everyone too many surprises and established absolute prestige in the territory.
In the eyes of the villagers, since the lord said that Shiraishi Village could win this war, then his side would definitely not lose, and there was nothing to worry about at all.
Everyone is busy with their own business, and now that the wheat has been dried out, it's time to thresh and put it in the warehouse. There are also some salted fish to be hung up and dried, these are the food of the future, and the attention of the villagers is on this, and there are really few people who are worried about the safety of the village.
Looking at the calm villagers, Hu Ye said to the Brown Knight with satisfaction: "Everyone's mood is very stable, which is very good. As long as everyone can do their part, we will definitely not lose this battle. ”
Brown Knight also sighed: "Yes, every time there was a war in the past, the people would be very panicked, and there were people who fled with their families, and the result was that the people in the territory were panicked, and many wars were lost because of this." ”
Hu Ye smiled: "Now we have won half of the victory, let's go and see the situation of the soldiers!" ”
As Hu Ye expected, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was high. Not only were the gunners looking forward to the upcoming battle, but even the newly recruited soldiers had no fear on their faces.
Hu Ye smiled and asked the soldiers: "There will be a war soon, are you afraid?" ”
"Of course not!" A young man raised the assault rifle in his hand and said, "As long as we have a gun in our hands, we are not afraid of anyone who will fight us!" ”
Another soldier also shouted: "That's right, whoever wants to destroy our current life will let them have no return!" ”
Jeremy, who was already the captain of the Gunners, took the opportunity to say loudly, "For the sake of Shiraishi Village!" ”
"For Shiraishi Village!" The other soldiers also shouted neatly, already having the momentum of a regular army.
After seeing the soldiers, Hu Ye went to the fence again and inspected the condition of the four newly installed anti-aircraft machine guns. Tongxu is worthy of being the chief engineer of Baishi Village, and the quality of the project he personally designed and supervised is also top-notch, which makes Hu Ye feel very satisfied.
When the war begins, these four anti-aircraft machine guns alone will be able to inflict a fatal blow on the enemy.
And after a day of waiting, early the next morning, a large group of men appeared on the horizon, and the army of Count Ross finally arrived.
