"I didn't expect you to come too. ”

In the simple tent, Sheng Hua and Riel said to Dye Qi in front of them.

At the mobilization meeting a day ago, Sheng Hua had already discovered Dye Qi's figure, and as for Rare, he had specially rushed from Boshka Village to support.

"Well, I was supposed to leave that day, but there was no way to do it in the rain. ”

Dye Qi roughly guessed the severity of the next battle.

For the Templars to fight so intensely, I'm afraid the strength of the enemy should not be underestimated.

"Actually, I called you here today to tell you about our specific combat goals. ”

There were still some people in the tent, but most of them were Imperial knights, as well as the three black-robed mages from before. And the highest combat power among them is undoubtedly Sheng Hua.

"The next thing we have to face is the dragon. ”

"Dragon!"

Dye Qi suddenly remembered the dream he had seen the black red-eyed dragon destroy the village and disappear into the dark clouds.

"Do you want to fight that kind of thing?"

Dye Qi was not sure at all.

"Have you seen it?"

Sheng Hua subconsciously asked, because of his identity as an orphan, no one knew what he had experienced before he came to the orphanage, which also meant that he might have really seen the dragon.

"No, it's just a dream. ”

He dodged the question, because he didn't know what the dream really meant.

"Forget it, now it's about the construction of fortifications. ”

Sheng Hua cleared his throat and began to speak.

"From the outside of the city to the lord's castle, there are three fronts. ”

He said, pointing to the map on the table.

"The first layer of defense was set up in the outskirts, the second at the entrance to the city, and the third around the castle. Crossbows and archers were set up on the city walls, and artillery was set up around the castle. ”

"But dragons are flying creatures, does it make sense to defend such a thing?"

At this time, the sergeant in the tent asked.

"Looks like you don't know about fighting dragons. ”

Sheng Hua knew that these remote areas were rarely attacked by dragons, and it was normal for these recruits to be inexperienced.

"Fighting dragons is not just about dealing with the dragons themselves, but also against the armies that he has converted. ”

"Assimilation?"

Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Humans, orcs, and elves who die at the hands of dragons will become its slaves. And the combat power will also soar, and there will be no pain. ”

Sheng Hua explained.

"Can we defeat such a guy?"

The atmosphere in the tent reached freezing point in an instant, and if it was just against the dragon, the Templars should be able to stabilize the situation, but if they had to fight the army, they would be a little weak.

And according to intelligence, this dragon came from the north, that is, the battlefield of the empire and the orc kingdom. If the dragon has an army, it will be the most elite on the continent.

Elite soldiers fought against temporary conscription, and the results can be imagined.

"It's not that we can't do anything, if we can defeat the dragon that leads us, we can lift those slaves. ”

Sheng Hua said.

"Can you bring those people back to life?"

At this time, Dye Qi raised a question.

"No, they're still going to die. ”

It seems unfair that the dead can be enslaved without a chance of resurrection.

"Then the meeting is adjourned, and everyone prepares their own defenses. ”

Sheng Hua was the first to get up, and the line of defense he was in charge of was the second layer of defense. As for why he was not assigned to the third layer, according to his own meaning, if he was broken through to the third layer, it would be tantamount to failure.

After everyone left, Dye Qi was stopped by Sheng Hua, and it seemed that he had something to say. The two came to the vicinity of the barracks, and Ran Qi saw the recruits who had just been recruited.

It's like a camp for refugees, the barracks smell everywhere, and the food stewed in the pot is good, but it's still a little disgusting in this environment.

"As you can see, the soldiers who have been called in now are nothing but vagabonds and unemployed. ”

Sheng Hua said.

"It's obvious. ”

Dye Qi was still thinking about the reason why Sheng Hua stopped him.

"I've heard about your deeds of training everyone in the village, so can I give you some of this training?"

I see, Dye Qi finally understood the reason why he let him stay. But compared to the villagers who have lived in the village of Boshka for generations, these homeless people now have nothing to support them in their fight.

Even if the Makar Xia is destroyed, these people will have another place to go, and there is no need to stay here.

"I don't think it's possible for these people to fight now. ”

Rather than accept the impossible, Dye Qi decided to tell the truth.

"I know that too, but there's no time now. ”

Sheng Hua recalled the lord's inaction and couldn't help but feel a little angry. In the eyes of these nobles, the lives of commoners were worthless, he couldn't help but think.

"But there's another way..."

Dye Qi looked at Sheng Hua seriously.

A few hours later, on the high platform of the chaotic barracks, Dye Qi stood alone, holding the family crest and sword of the Charles family in his hands. He looked at the people below with a serious expression.

"Everyone, please come over for a moment. ”

He said loudly.

And Dye Qi, who had just won the championship of the Junior Sword Fighting Conference, still had a certain degree of popularity, and under his call, most of the homeless people came here.

They also wanted to know what Dye Qi was trying to do with all this shouting.

"The next decision was made that anyone who had an outstanding performance in the next battle would be able to work in either the Charr or the Marval family. This is a unique opportunity, so please cherish it. ”

Dye Qi knows that for these people, any moral ideals are useless, and only by letting them really eat enough and have a place to sleep can their fighting spirit be lifted.

And it seems that the plan has succeeded.

Everyone is talking about what Dye Qi said, being able to work in a noble home means not worrying about food, clothing, and shelter, which is exactly what these lack.

Moreover, the family crest and sword held by Dye Qi are also from the Charles family, and coupled with his status as a champion, everyone is very convinced of him.

But in fact, these two families have no such intentions.

Just now, Dye Qi and Sheng Hua were discussing.

"What they need is not the oath to defend their home and country, but the most basic food and clothing, and a place to settle. ”

Dye Qi said.

"What do you mean?"

Sheng Hua was a little puzzled.

"If the aristocracy can provide jobs, it will be a good solution to this problem. ”

"However, even if I am the head of the house, I cannot arbitrarily determine the number of servants in the house, and we cannot support so many people. ”

"Normally that's the case, but what if it's fake. ”

Dye Qi said,

"I just have to convince them. For example, hold your family crest and sword, which will be more convincing. ”

Sheng Hua fell into deep thought after hearing this, although the method is good, but if you really want to provide a position after the battle, who can give so much.

Although the solution is good, no one dares to accept it.

"I understand your concerns. ”

Dye Qi obviously saw Sheng Hua's worries, but he had already taken a countermeasure.

"Because the Mawar family doesn't know the relationship between this plan, someone will definitely go to them after the battle, and they will definitely shirk it at this time. ”

"Definitely. ”

Shenghua agrees.

"Now, if you tell them that I stole the crest and sword, no one will resent you. ”

True, in this way, the nobility was freed from the grievances of the populace, but these resentments did not disappear for no reason, but were transferred to another person.

This person is Dye Qi.

"It's a good idea. ”

Sheng Hua doesn't take too much care of Ranqi, he is not his family or servant, so there is no need to defend him.

And defending him will also cause damage to his reputation.

"Then it's decided. ”

Sheng Hua agreed to Dye Qi's plan, and the rest only needed to be carried by Dye Qi alone.

Dye Qi also didn't understand why he cared about the city, maybe it was just because his friend lived here, and his friend came here and decided to help him.

For this bereaved person, he no longer wants to lose anything.

He was afraid of losing, especially those who could be called friends.

As long as you can protect them and let them continue to live, then it doesn't matter how many sins you bear, even if you don't understand them.

This is what Dye Qi thinks paranoidly, but it's not wrong.

"If you can really get into the aristocratic family to work, it seems that killing a few dead people is nothing. ”

The recruits in the barracks seem to have figured out a lot, if they can really solve the problem of food and clothing, what is it to kill people. Moreover, the people they were going to kill after that were already dead.

After thinking it through, morale suddenly increased greatly. These wanderers no longer eat and wait for death all day long, but begin to actively devote themselves to the training of martial arts.

I have to say that after having a goal, everyone's motivation has been raised, and now their state is not much more panicked than the state of the villagers in the village at that time.

But what they don't know is that what Dye Qi said is just a lie.

"The plan, it worked. ”

Dye Qi gives the sword and family crest to Riel. Riel is now one of Sheng Hua's personal bodyguards.

"Is it really good to do that?"

He asked Ran Qi seriously.

"That's enough. ”

Dye Qi didn't look him in the eye, just simply turned around and left the corner.

The gray clouds in the sky had gradually come over the Makarsya. Even inside the city, Dye Qi could see red thunder and lightning flickering in the gray clouds not far away.

"It's not far off. ”

Dye Qi also needs to prepare a lot of things.

By the time the gray clouds had completely reached the skies over the Makarsia, a week had passed. During the week, all the recruits were trained like never before.

The city's defenses were also fully completed, with hundreds of artillery guns aimed at the sky and outside the city, all on the lookout for the storm.

And on this very day, the "storm" came.
