Chapter 245: The Volunteers

The day after Williams' second suggestion, Antari was ready to go out early in the morning. This time, Rita, who is an older sister, expected to wake up early and wait in the room, and rushed out angrily when she heard movement in the hall.

"Are you going to the fortress again today!" Rita immediately screamed when she walked out of her room and saw Antari who was about to go out.

Antali, who had been tiptoeing with the idea of not waking up his sister today, was startled by his sister's sudden cry from behind at this time.

"Sister!"

Antari exclaimed in surprise and turned to explain, but Rita scolded him without giving him a chance to speak.

"I've heard about yesterday, and you went to tell Chief Byrne about the crusade against the thieves even though you were on suspension! Of course, this is a good thing, and your perseverance sister also appreciates it. However, even if it is a good deed, there is a time to say so. If you lose your job, how can you do more good things for everyone!

"No, sister, I won't be going to the fortress again today!"

"Really?" Rita was skeptical.

"Really!"

"And what are you wearing armor for?"

"This one. As he spoke, Antari took the handle of the main entrance with his hand, "Let's go to the government hall a little bit." ”

When the words were closed, he blew out of the house like a gust of wind. Rita, who was left behind, was stunned for a moment before letting out a surprise of disbelief.

"Government Hall!"

Yes, Antari had lost hope for Byrne, so following Williams' suggestion, his destination today was the town hall in the center of town.

Just like yesterday when he entered and exited the fortress, Antali entered the government hall today with his head held high and looked as if he was an employee here.

Although the people who came to the government hall to work heard the sound of the armor, because Antali was too natural, many people thought that it was the garrison chief Baien who came to say something to the mayor of the town at the first time.

Then, it wasn't until Antali said hello to a familiar uncle he happened to meet at the top of the stairs that the employees at the Interior Department, including the person being greeted, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Isn't this the one who has been clamoring for Byrne to send troops against the thieves? Why did he get here today? Could it be that Byrne couldn't work and went straight to the mayor. But we can't take care of that here!

While everyone was puzzled, Antari had already walked up the stairs and went straight to the mayor's office on the top floor.

"Ah...... "The mayor, who is still enthusiastic about his work, came earlier than anyone else today, which means that he got up earlier than anyone else, which is why he still yawns a few times from time to time when he sits behind his desk.

And just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock! knock!"

Hearing the voice, the mayor was also stunned.

When did there be enthusiastic people in this government hall who came early in the morning to ask for instructions?

So, he happily said, "Please come in." ”

Upon hearing the response, Antari immediately walked into the office politely. But when he saw him, the mayor couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Sure enough, there are no such enthusiastic people in this government. After all, there isn't much to do in this border town on a daily basis.

"Good morning, Mr. Mayor. ”

"Ahh "Antari, why did you come to me?"

"I have something to discuss with you about the crusade against the bandits. ”

Hearing this, the mayor's brow furrowed. Immediately, he stood up and walked from behind his desk to Antari.

"Antali, what do you say? I'd actually love to help. But you know that the garrison and the government are not subordinate, and I must convene a council if I want to order Byrne directly. And you know how many children in this council of our town are serving in the garrison, but after the meeting, it will backfire......

"No, Mr. Mayor, you have misunderstood!" Seeing the mayor's embarrassed expression, Antali immediately defended.

"Didn't you come for me to order Byrne to send troops?"

"No, I'm trying to get Mayor Mare's consent for me to recruit Volunteers. ”

"Volunteers?" said the mayor, with some interest.

"Hmm!" Antari said further when he saw that the idea might be genuinely promising, "it was out of righteousness and courage that he voluntarily stood up and joined me in the crusade against the bandits. It is established only for the purpose of this purpose, and will be dissolved after the purpose is achieved. ”

"I see. The mayor thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Not bad idea." So, what can I do for you?"

"It's easy!" Antari exclaimed excitedly, "please give me a formal executive order authorizing me to form a volunteer army to fight the thieves, and then provide all kinds of guarantees in the meantime, including money, and get everyone to cooperate, especially Lord Byrne." ”

"Hmm. Mayor Mare nodded, "This volunteer is not for the garrison to send troops, but for me to initiate the campaign. And since it's a town council, you don't have to directly order Byrne, who is a member of the town, through the council. ”

"Yes!"

Antali was already excited, but at this time, the mayor changed his mind again.

"However, there are still two problems here. ”

"What's the problem!" Antali tensed.

"First, what if the Volunteers are formed and there aren't enough people to fight the bandits?"

"In this case, please rest assured, I am confident that I will gather at least ten or more people, and the enemy is only five, it is enough for us to have these people!"

The mayor of the town was very confident when he saw Antali's expression, and he also really thought: Even if it is a nobleman, isn't it enough to fight a battle with twice as many troops as the other side?

"Second, you asked the government office to provide various guarantees, including money, that is, let us pay for the supplies and salaries, right? ”

"Yes!"

"In that case, it can't go on indefinitely. You have to set a deadline, and if you do nothing but eat for nothing during that time, I will have to punish you severely. Is that okay?"

"No problem!" Antari said without hesitation, "then the deadline will be set at half a month!"

"Half a month!" the mayor blinked in surprise, "Wouldn't half a month be too short?" ”

"No! half a month is enough!" Antali said categorically, patting his chest. Actually, he doesn't know if this half a month is enough, but he believes Williams.

"That being the case. The mayor put on a serious expression, "Very well! In view of the heavy tasks of the garrison officer unit and the lack of time to clone one, as the current mayor of Enla Town, I officially authorize my town's registered townsman garrison officer Antari to recruit volunteers to organize a crusade against the bandits!"

"Yes!" Antari nodded in agreement, his expression overflowing with joy.

In this way, Antari received an official order from the town hall. In the face of this order, Byrne really had nothing to say but to let Antari carry out recruitment activities within the garrison's troops.

Then, after three days of hard work, Antali finally summoned fifteen young men and women who were also passionate about fulfilling their duties as garrisons and protecting the people as Williams had requested.
