Chapter 217: The Bell of the Toulon Territory!
The orcs are finally here!
For Yifeng and the others, since the first day of their invasion of Toulon Territory, the orcs going south were like a sharp sword suspended above their heads, which could fall on this baby who had just learned to walk at any time.
The information came in a hurry. Otherwise, this spy would not have risked disrupting Her Royal Highness the Princess's ball, reported earlier.
"Damn!
Alkins' face turned a little pale, and he cursed like this. The arrival of the orcs means war, and it means that the territory of Toulon, which has just embarked on the path of development, will come to a standstill, not to mention that the army construction has not yet been completed. Is it any wonder that Alkins is in a hurry?
The orcs came at a good time. In other words, if you delay it for a month, or even ten days, the situation is completely different. Alkins could throw his gold coins to his heart's content, and organize a mighty army to keep the orcs out of the fortress of Toulon.
"It's good to come!"
Yifeng jumped up and clapped his hands.
Alkins and Ao Lio were puzzled, and only heard Yifeng laugh.
"What should come will always come. If everyone has gold in their pockets, no one will want to fight!"
In Yifeng's opinion, the orcs came just in time this time. Everyone's morale is high, and there are enough people, how long will it take to not meet the attack at this time?
Having said that, Yifeng did not dare to slack off.
I saw him Shi Shiran walk to a platform in the middle of the palace, made a gesture, signaled the musicians to pause, and suddenly the dance in the entire hall stopped, and people were all shocked and asked around.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly listen to it?"
For these petty nobles and new merchants, there are not many opportunities to get up close and personal with Her Royal Highness Princess Ilabella, let alone a lot of business to do. They have some complaints about this, and it is understandable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry I had to disturb everyone's Yaxing! Because the orcs are coming, and the war has begun!
At the right time, the sound of Yifeng came, and the whole palace was buzzing.
.......
Ringing the bell is a unique feature of the Terrans, just like in the game, the peasant rings the bell and turns into a militia. Throughout the territory of the Atlantans, almost all towns and cities are equipped with such a large bell. It is usually erected in the middle of the church, the square. When there is an invasion from outside the country, or a major emergency breaks out, people will sound the alarm bells. And all those who hear the bell will automatically gather under the bell tower and heed the call of the lord.
On this day, it was evening. The last rays of sunset in the sky illuminated the entire Toulon collar as red as blood, and wisps of cooking smoke rose into the air.
Dangdang~~~
But the bell exploded like thunder, hovering all over the sky and spreading into the distance.
"What's going on?"
People invariably stopped what they were doing. In the middle of the mine, the gold diggers who were still digging with lights put down their tools and drilled out of the mine to listen carefully to the sudden sound of the bell; the women who were cooking, regardless of the heat of the stove, went out of the door; the frolicking children obediently shrank behind the adults under the scolding of their parents, and from time to time their little heads poked out of the creaky nest, looking in the direction of the bell in disbelief.
The number of bells ringing represents different meanings. For example, the celebration is usually eight, and the death of the king is usually thirteen. And at this moment, the bell of Toulon has not stopped ringing since it struck. This means that the most urgent thing has come about.
"It's the orcs coming!"
The inhabitants of the city of Biansai are very experienced. As soon as I heard the continuous ringing of the bells, I understood what was happening. Their faces changed, and they spontaneously converged on the square below the bell tower, and soon formed a vast ocean.
Yifeng stood on the high ground of the square and delivered a speech at the right time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the inhabitants of Toulon and the guests who have come from afar. ”
Under the flickering torches, Yifeng's expression was unprecedentedly serious.
"I regret to inform you that war is coming! Just as we were about to dig up the gems, just as we had a little gold in our pockets, and just as our homeland was just getting a little better, the orcs came! They are demons, they are locusts, they don't see us living a good life, they want to destroy everything about us! they want to take away our women, they want to burn down our houses, they want to take away our jewels!"
Here, Yifeng clearly played a trick. He's stealing a different concept. The orcs are good at predation, but they don't have to come for the gem mines. However, Yifeng deliberately did this in order to provoke everyone's anger.
No one can tolerate the handing over of their impending wealth. At this point, Yifeng is telling the truth. Once the orcs break the city, everyone, including Yifeng, will not continue mining in peace.
"You say, what are we going to do?"
Yifeng's voice was raised an octave, and it was quite impassioned.
At the right time, Yifeng, the nursery arranged in advance in the crowd, waved his arms and roared.
"Fight with them!"
Yes, the mines won't run there, and the orcs can come back and continue digging after they've been beaten. But once the Toulon Territory falls, there will be nowhere to go and no gems to dig up.
Suddenly, countless pairs of arms were raised, and the sound was deafening, just like the bell that reached the sky.
"Fight with them! Rich people will pay, and powerful people will make efforts! There is nothing to say!"
The surging crowd rushed forward like a tidal wave.
Alkins stood at the recruiting office, sweating profusely.
"Don't rush, don't squeeze! What? You're an intermediate warrior? Come, register, get a suit of armor, and line up over there!"
At the Maginot Supplies Gathering Point, all kinds of food and clothing were piled up like a hill.
Yifeng even saw Jim, the lucky guy, and his face was flushed and sweating profusely. For this grateful person, Yifeng was particularly impressed.
He specifically pulled him out of the crowd and asked.
"Isn't that lucky Jim?
Ever since Beater Jim discovered the gem mine and was honored by Yifeng, Lucky Jim has become synonymous with him. He represents a large group of equally fortunate people.
Yifeng asked because Jim had a pregnant wife and two children, and if he died in battle, then his family would be over.
Jim couldn't help himself with excitement.
"Master, our life is given by you and Her Royal Highness the Princess! Why can't we come! Although I Jim has a large family to support and can't contribute, we can contribute money! Don't persuade me, I, Jim, donate 1,000 gold coins!"
Jim's generosity was immediately praised by the crowd.
This is the human heart!
In just a few days, Yifeng successfully captured the hearts of the people with mines and a good life.
With such a group of people, what enemy can't defeat?
Ilabella's eyes moistened!
She saw a difference from the brutal battle for the throne in Atlanta, and she saw a direction for her future.
"Yifeng, it's good to have you!"
Erabella leaned gently against Yifeng's back and hugged his waist.
"I have to say, this is the most exciting talk I've ever heard!" )
