Chapter 40: Heather and Celli
"Is that him? the [Blood Mercenary]?"
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen him, but he's almost exactly the same as he rumored, whether he looks or dresses. ”
"If he really has him, maybe there is really hope this time!"
Laddy looked at the scene that was finally boiling in the government hall, and finally put down a stone in his heart. Then he motioned again to the people in the government hall to be quiet, and then pointed to Pande and said:
"Everyone should have seen that everyone should have heard the name of Lord [Blood Mercenary] Pande, because he and I are very good friends, so he will come to assist us in private, especially when he also brought their friends, like this young man Barron next to him, don't look at his age, he is a junior knight like Lord Pande!"
"No matter how strong the horse bandits outside are, we have two junior knights, and if we add a team of hundreds of people, we will definitely be able to hold Yezi Town!"
"What are you waiting for? Wait for the security team of Curtain City or the Silver Snow Corps of Silver Snow Castle? Don't be delusional, if we don't unite now, we can only wait for them to come and collect our corpses. Laddie knew it wouldn't be so easy to convince the foxes, so she continued to persuade them.
"Our Heather Chamber of Commerce definitely supports Mayor Radi, not much else, our Chamber of Commerce can draw about 40 people to participate in the defense of the town, half of the mercenaries and half of the Chamber of Commerce guys, and I will personally take out materials worth 50 gold coins for Mayor Radi to call, these people and materials I will arrange in the shortest possible time, and then I will arrange it at will Mayor Radi. "Finally there was substantial support for Radi's initiative.
As soon as someone speaks, the rest of the people can no longer be indifferent, there are people under their hands, and no one will pay, even the small nobles in the town are not far behind, after all, although these merchants and small nobles are greedy, they are not stupid, just now they are just bent on obtaining the maximum benefit with the minimum price.
But now that they knew what kind of situation they were facing, if they didn't do anything at this time, it was estimated that they might not have to face the horse bandits, but the wrath of the two junior knights first.
Under such circumstances, in the end, Radi relied on the threat of Pande and Barron, as well as the horse bandits outside, and easily mastered a team of more than 300 people, plus more than 500 gold worth of supplies that could be called upon at any time, of which the eleven caravans trapped in the town alone collected nearly 240 people and 300 gold coins.
Together with the town's security corps, the tax collector of the tax department, the rest of the town's various departments, and Pande's men, the total number was close to 350. If you recruit some townspeople from the town to do some logistical work, the whole team can easily exceed 500 people.
Such a large number of people, coupled with the support of the city wall and the joining of the two junior knights, suddenly made the leaders of the caravans and the small nobles in the town have a great increase in confidence, after seeing the hope of holding Yezi Town, everyone is satisfied with the government hall, compared to their own lives, these current efforts are really nothing.
When everyone was gone, Mayor Lardy handed over the men and supplies promised by the merchants and nobles to the sheriff named Drakov, whose name Barron now learned.
Laddy then took Pande and Barron for a simple change of outfit, and then secretly went to a house in the town.
"This is one of my private residences, and there are no issues with confidentiality and security. As he spoke, Laddy opened the door and led Pander and Barron into the house.
At this time, in the living room of the room, there were already two people sitting there, and Barron recognized these two people at a glance as the two caravan leaders in the government hall just now, one of them was Mrs. Celli just now, and the other was also the leader of the Heather Chamber of Commerce who took the lead in making substantial support.
"Haha, Pande, we haven't seen each other for a long time. As soon as the leader of the Heather Chamber of Commerce saw Pande, he came up to greet him warmly, and then hugged Pande fiercely.
"It's only been a few months since I saw you, Heather, you're getting fat again. Pande knew him, and seemed very familiar.
"Born, born, haha. Heather smiled awkwardly.
"Dear Mrs. Cellly, Pande is here to greet you with good afternoon. Pander gently raised her right hand and kissed Mrs. Celli as he greeted her.
"It's the first time I've met you, Lord Pande, but I've heard about you 10 years ago. Mrs. Celli said with a smile.
"Haha, that's because I was more reckless when I was young, by the way, let me introduce you, this is the deputy captain of our Jonny Chamber of Commerce escort team, Baron, don't look at his young age, in terms of strength, I'm not his opponent now. Pande said as he introduced Barron to the two caravan leaders.
"Barron, this is President Heather, now the president of the Heather Chamber of Commerce, and this is Mrs. Cellly, who is now the president of the Heather Chamber of Commerce. When Pande introduced the two to Barron, Barron also greeted them one by one.
"I've long heard that there is also a junior knight who came to Yez Town with Pande to support us this time, and Heather and I have been wondering who it will be? Mrs. Cellley said as she handed her right hand to Barron and kissed his fingers.
"It's Captain Pande who exaggerated, I'm not his opponent yet. "Although now if Barron and Pande play one-on-one, the victory or defeat is basically seven or three, and Barron is seven Pande three, but Barron is not a conceited person, and of course he will not say anything annoying.
"Hey, if only Celli Jr. had half your level. Mrs. Celli said with emotion.
"Haha, isn't Xiao Celli not bad now, he is already a trainee tax officer in the tax department of Maple Leaf City, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he can be sent to a second-level town and become an official tax officer. Heather said.
"It's not the blessing of President Tojoni, otherwise how could he have entered the tax department according to his ability and become a trainee tax officer. "Mrs. Celli still knows her own son, and although he is not a gentleman, his abilities are really mediocre.
Just as Heather was about to say a few words, a rough voice interrupted him.
"Alright, you guys don't talk about the old days and touts anymore, let's get down to business, maybe the so-called 'horse bandits' will come at the next tick. ”
The person Barron saw when he saw the voice turned out to be Mayor Rady, who had not spoken since entering the house.
