Chapter VII Pre-War Mobilization

"What we are facing now is a once-in-a-decade crisis. Some of you present www.biquge.info have been serving in the City Guard for more than five years, and the tragic beast tide five years ago, I think you, as a participant, must still remember it vividly, but that beast tide only attacked less than 200 mutant cheetahs, in terms of quantity, far less than this upcoming beast tide. Because of the small number, even if the individual strength is stronger than the black wolf that attacked this time, he can take the initiative to meet the attack and keep the battle line away from the city, thus avoiding the ensuing threat of demons. ”

"But this time is different, more than 800 mutant black wolves who are not afraid of death, if they are far away from the city and have no danger to defend, they can tear all of us to pieces in a few hours, if you want to stop them, you must be stationed in some places on the outskirts of the city with suitable terrain, but in this way, you should know what this means, the large group of demon spirits chasing behind the wolves is very difficult, if there is a large number of souls gathered and a large number of lives die, it will inevitably lead several times the number of demon spirits around here, and the destruction of the city will be the only result。 ”

"This is the most dangerous battle, more dangerous than you think, so I need you to make the final decision on whether or not to participate in this war. I don't force those who don't want to participate, you can leave the city guard from now on, and those who are willing to participate, from today onwards, all the benefits will be raised by two grades, and those who died in battle will enjoy the honor of first-class martyrs. Okay, now you can make your choice. ”

In front of the two hundred warriors, the young city lord calmly announced the danger that the city was about to face, undisguised, but all the soldiers still maintained the same posture and listened expressionlessly, as if the choice that the young city lord said had nothing to do with them at all.

"Again, this is your last chance to choose, if you want to quit now, please take a step back, once you choose to join, you can't go back, otherwise military law will deal with it. ”

No one spoke, no one retreated, and each warrior stood as straight as a javelin, motionless as a stone statue.

"Very well, I didn't misread you, no one wants to quit, you are worthy of being the patron saint of the city, and you are worthy of being regarded as the defense line of the Brocade City that will never fall, and the Brocade City will be proud of you. Shaocheng advocated opening his arms to make a hug, "Then, from today onwards, all training plans will be suspended, everyone will have a holiday, go back to spend more time with your parents and family, and have a good rest for a few days, during which all your expenses can be reimbursed with receipts." However, you guys remember to me that these days are for you to rest, in order to let you recuperate, so don't run to a ghost place like Flower Street, I warn you, once you go to Flower Street and I find out, I will no longer reimburse you for any more receipts. ”

"Snort. "The solemn and murderous atmosphere was loosened because of the last few words of the young city lord, for young adults, whether it is male or female, this kind of topic is the most likely to resonate, among the two hundred soldiers, at least half of them showed a tacit smile, a few young people laughed directly, and some people even asked directly, "Boss, if you don't go to Flower Street yourself, how can you find out if we are going or not, are you going to keep guarding Flower Street these days and monitoring us at any time." ”

"Which bastard said that, stand up for me. The young city lord covered his mouth and coughed dryly, squinted his eyes and said, "I'll help you deduct all the rewards now." ”

Of course, it will not be so stupid that someone will stand up, and the smiles on everyone's faces will disappear instantly, returning to their original sanitizing solemnity, as if the person who laughed a few seconds ago was not them at all.

"Hmph, count you smart. The young city lord snorted coldly and continued, "During the break, everyone can play freely, but they are not allowed to leave the city, and those who leave the city will be punished as deserters. Also, be ready to accept the call at any time, and remember that during this time, the priority of the call information will be raised to red, and there will be no room for delay, understand?"

"Yes. All the fighters, including Du Yan, who was standing aside, struck their chests with their fists at the same time, making a neat sound.

"Good. The young city lord nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Du Yan, who was late on the side, and sighed, "Let's talk about your problem, Captain Du Yan." ”

"Yes. Du Yan stepped in a few steps and stood with his hands down in front of the young city lord.

"Captain Du, you are the captain of the first brigade of the City Guard, and the oldest of all of them, you have served since you were fourteen years old, and you have served in the City Guard for twelve years, and you have made great contributions to the City Guard. Especially in the battle five years ago, when your captain was killed and more than half of the city guards were lost, you led the remnants of the bloody battle, and finally killed two-thirds of the enemy, leaving the remaining mutant cheetahs scattered and fled. And you were seriously wounded in thirty-seven places, hardly a single intact skin on your body, and you lost an eye for it, and I have never forgotten such feats. The young city lord said in a low voice, "However, this time, in the face of the red summoning order, you are one minute and eighteen seconds late, I hope to hear your reasonable explanation." ”

"I'm sorry, Young City Lord. Du Yan tapped his chest again and saluted, hung his head and said loudly, "Wrong is wrong, there is no reason to explain, since I am late this time, I am willing to accept the punishment." ”

"Do you want to disobey orders?" the young city lord frowned and said unhappily, "I said that you should explain the reason for being late, this is the order, why, you are not going to obey the order?"

"Obey orders, young city lord. Hearing this, Du Yan stiffened his chest suddenly, looked at the young city lord and said, "There is indeed a reason. ”

"That's right. The unhappy expression on the young city lord's face thawed at this time, and he said with a gentle expression, "I believe that Captain Du will make this kind of mistake, there must be a good reason, let's say, what happened." ”

"Yes, actually, I actually left for camp very early today, as usual. In Du Yan's heart, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, in the face of this young city lord who is slightly younger than himself, Du Yan's heart is still full of fear, he is not as honest and sincere as his sister who was in charge of military affairs five years ago, although this young city lord is always a kind and smiling group, but those who are familiar with him know that he is a moody madman in his bones, so although there is a reason for being late today, and his identity and status are enough to rely on, Du Yan's heart is still uneasy, and he is very worried that this little madman will use this as an excuse to enforce military law. Now seeing the other party's performance, it is obvious that the other party is also looking for a reason to excuse himself, so Du Yan finally put down his hanging heart and seriously talked about the reason why he was late.
