Chapter 22: The Town of Yoder (Part II)
Ron followed the army into the castle tower of Yod, and along the way, they enjoyed a special "attention ceremony".
Meria, as the commander of this army, walked at the front of the line as a matter of course, and the armed men on the towers, the arrows pointed at them until all the soldiers had completely entered the city gates.
As soon as I entered the gate, there were many soldiers holding various weapons next to the city gate, but the weapons of these people can be said to be varied, not only the standard sabers equipped on the army, but also the agricultural tools used for cultivating the land.
In order to make his position clear, Meria took the lead and raised his hands, and all the Noah's soldiers behind him also raised their hands, indicating that they had no weapons on their bodies.
Soon, the archers on the castle tower were trotting down the corridor next to the battlements, and Ron's eyes soon fell on the woman who was surrounded by many "militiamen".
The girl is about twenty years old, tall and tall, even standing in the middle of a bunch of men, even taller than many people, a long fiery red hair tied into a lean ponytail, not beautiful but heroic, Ron can not imagine that in the war-torn Death Fjord, this town, there will be a girl to command the city defense, Ron couldn't help but look at her twice.
"Are you an officer of the Independent Brigade?" the red-haired girl's eyes swept over the people in front of her, "These are your soldiers?"
"That's right, I'm Meria, the captain of the 6th Brigade of the Independent Brigade, and these are soldiers of the 6th Brigade. Meria said in a deep voice: "There are still many wounded in our ranks, and their wounds will worsen if it rains all the time, and I hope you can give my soldiers a place to rest immediately." โ
"Fuck your shit! You independent brigade members are all soft eggs!"
Suddenly, behind the red-haired girl, a middle-aged man with a machete in his hand began to curse: "What, you want to come here to command us now?"
Ron could feel that the soldiers around him were breathing heavily, the rout of Hamp City was a pain in their hearts, and now they were about to be salted in their wounds, as a soldier, they were insulted by their compatriots on their own land, their feelings can be imagined.
"I'm really sorry about the matter of Hamp City, I believe that there are soldiers in our independent brigade who want to fight to the end, but the commander of our army must consider the overall situation, in terms of strength, we are indeed not the opponent of the Belu army. Meria suddenly bowed to the people in front of her: "Our wounded were all injured in the battle against the Beru, we have been drenched in rain for a long time along the way, I hope they can get rest and treatment immediately." โ
The militia in Yoder Town were still about to have a seizure, and the red-haired girl immediately raised her right hand to signal them to be quiet.
"Hello, I'm Saiana, the temporary city guard of Yod Town. The red-haired girl said as she moved out of the way to the side of the road: "Kate, you immediately arrange the vacant housing and let these wounded people go in to rest." โ
Under Saiana's orders, the conflict that was about to erupt finally subsided, but these residents of Yoder Town had a smell of gunpowder in their eyes.
Ron rubbed his temples, the situation in front of him was indeed a little unexpected for him, and he didn't know whether the decision he made was right or wrong.
The torrential rain in the Great Plains of Hamp showed no signs of stopping, and there were not many empty houses in Yoder Town, and after arranging for the wounded, Meria and Ron, at the invitation of Saiana, went to the Lord's Mansion in Yoder Town. ใ
The Lord's Mansion is the only three-story building in Yoder Town, in order to highlight the identity of the lord, the lord's mansion must be higher than the other buildings in height, along the way, the houses that Ron saw are relatively primitive stone and brick buildings, using stone and wood planks as the main building materials, this kind of building is undoubtedly quite fragile in the war, and the trebuchet in the face of the Belu siege of the city does not play any role in protection at all.
The conference room was on the second floor of the Lord's Palace, but it was inevitably a bit shabbyโonly a round table and some wooden high-backed chairs. In addition to Ron and Merial, there was also the red-haired girl Saiana and another man with a terrible wound on his face.
"This is Uncle Blanton, the best hunter in this town of Yod. Last night, it was Uncle Blanton who led everyone to repel the Belu cavalry. Saiana smiled, "Captain Meria, this is ...... next to you."
"It's my adjutant. Meria said in a deep voice, "The life of the Beru left in his hands is no less than that of any of us, and he is the only magician in our Sixth Brigade. โ
Enchanter?
When they heard these three words, Saiana and Blanton couldn't help but look at Ron, the magician is definitely a transcendent existence in the Deathfjord, at least in the cognition of these two people, the magician is still in legends and books.
"It turned out to be a magician, and I was disrespectful. Saiana bowed slightly to Ron.
Ron's eyelids jumped slightly, this is not an army under Merial, and it can be explained by magic scrolls. But right now, the title of magician can indeed give them a favorable bargaining chip in negotiations.
"Looks like you have to get talent points quickly, just point out ninjutsu, you can"
"Since we are all compatriots, then I won't be verbose, Captain Meria, many of the current city defense troops in Yoder Town are actually farmers and hunters here, and many of the weapons we use are self-deployed, and some of them were left behind by the troops who were once stationed here and later escaped. Saiana's eyes kept locked on Meria: "I wonder if Captain Merial wants to accept our city defense work?"
Saiana's straightforward question made the atmosphere in the conference room tense up.
"Of course, as an officer, I think I must be more professional in military command, and I will definitely take responsibility. Meria said without hesitation.
"Then if Beru's army attacks, will you still run away?" Saiana sneered, "And with you people, what confidence can you have to ensure our safety?"
Ron looked at Meria with some nervousness, this red-haired girl obviously had a little bit of her own emotions when negotiating, it was really difficult for him to understand, even if what happened in Hamp City was indeed shameful, but in this Yoder Town, the resistance was too serious.
At this time, Blanton, who had been standing next to Saiana, spoke.
"Don't tell me, Lord, that with your so-called will to fight, you can protect the people of this city. Blanton snorted coldly: "And don't think about escaping, the war horses in Yode Town have all been killed by us, and the food in the city can only last for five days at most." โ
