Chapter 164: Riots in the Camp

In the exile camp, Lolana put away the alchemy device connected to the communication crystal with a blank face, turned to Ahmed and said, "Those two unreliable adults are probably in trouble, and now we can only rely on ourselves. [Debut]"

"No, didn't you report your safety in the morning through the news?" Ahmed frowned, took out a piece of parchment from his bosom that had been smeared an unknown number of times, and looked at it carefully: "That's right, there is no bad omen today......

"I don't know what you think the omen looks like...... But it doesn't seem like a good sign right now, does it?" Lorana sighed and looked out into the sky.

The camp of the exiles yesterday was not far from the refugee settlement, at most about 500 meters away. The area in front of the camp was supposed to be a neat wheat field, but it had long since been uprooted by hungry refugees, and now only a wasteland remains. This plain terrain was ideal for the Istaron cavalry, as they had good visibility and were suitable for short-range charges, so they did not take the threat of the Masonry Brotherhood to heart.

However, just after the sun rose this morning, there was an unusual commotion in the direction of the refugee settlement. Some of the refugees living in the outskirts had the courage to approach the exiles' camp, and the camp guards did not raise the alarm because they were dragged in groups of threes and fives, scrawny and unclothed, and did not look threatening.

By the time Lolana received the news and rushed over from Tiana's desk, the situation outside had become very tense. The refugees showed no intention of attacking, but surrounded the camp and repeatedly begged for food. Some refugees didn't even say a word, just knelt on the ground with their rice bowls and kept kowtowing. The cries of men and women mingled with the cries of children, making people upset and confused.

When El and Tiana left last night, they didn't give specific orders to the camp, and perhaps they didn't expect that kind of accident at the time, which is why the camp was slow to react. By the time Lolana gave the order to stick to the camp, there had already been small disturbances in some areas.

Along the way from the browned hills to the Sword Castle, Tiana gathered some refugee families from other places. Her original intention was to restructure the refugee structure within the exiles, but it now appears that this decision was somewhat avoided. At that time, no one knew about the existence of the Masonry Brotherhood, so such an unexpected factor was not taken into account.

Most of these later refugees were complete family groups of parents and children, which had the advantage of stability for the exile contingent as a whole. But it is undeniable that they are just ordinary civilians, and they do not have the order that the Isttalons have cultivated from their bones. So far, these new arrivals have remained a burden on the team, and Tiana had planned to stay in the Sword Castle area for a while, both to recuperate and replenish supplies, and to train the refugees in militarization.

But plans never changed quickly, and now she not only lost the opportunity to stay, but also had to deal with the effects of these negative equity.

When the refugees from outside surrounded them, some of the refugees inside the camp were soon surprised to find their friends and relatives. Everyone fled all the way, and the scenes of life and death are not uncommon, and now they meet again by chance, and the excitement can be imagined. The refugees also began to beg the soldiers guarding the camp to be reunited with their loved ones.

Such a reasonable requirement, but it would be a big problem to implement, and it is needless to think that if the door is opened and people are released, other refugees will surely rush in. A rabble like this, who have nothing, will never think about the affordability of the camp or the feelings of others, which has nothing to do with them, they just want to survive and will do whatever it takes to do so.

No one knows if these refugees, who seem to be close to death, will suddenly become emotional and hurt people. Whatever happens in this case, it is very disadvantageous for the Istalen, because they are armed with weapons and the other party is unarmed, and if they do not consider the consequences, they will face a conscience and moral condemnation.

The crowd on the ground was shouting, the birds in the sky seemed to be irritated, and countless crows flew up from the surrounding wheat fields, hovering over the camp for a long time. They croaked and screamed, as if mocking the ridiculous arguments of humans. No matter how you look at it, these pitch-black guys don't look like a good omen.

"Mr. Ahmed, please contact General Hank and have the Night's Watch come out as a mobile force. I'll go to Mr. Androv and come to an agreement with him first. Lorana watched the commotion on the outskirts of the camp and turned back to Ahmed in a low voice. Although she and Ahmed were basically able to take on the work of El and Tiana in terms of military affairs in peacetime, in this special case, the shortcomings were immediately revealed.

The Isttalon exiles may seem orderly to outsiders, but in fact they are a large group of interests. El and Tiana may not be old enough to convince the public, but they have unquestionable prestige in the collective. Although the two men have asceived each other on the surface, the decisions made by either of them will be unconditionally implemented on important issues in the general direction.

As for Ahmed and Lorana, they can only temporarily replace them, but they cannot take their place. Because in the current ranks of exiles, there are many people of similar status to them, such as General Hank, the military leader of the night watch, and Renard of the Locke family, and Jupiter, the representative of the merchants, and the old nobleman Androve, all of whom represent different positions of the group, and it is impossible to be unconditionally loyal to Lolana and Ahmed.

"There shouldn't be any problems on General Hank's side, that guy is a reasonable person. Ahmed nodded, but did not move away, but squinted his eyes at the crows in the air, and said with a calm face: "But these crows are really annoying, if you clean them up, will it have some deterrent effect?"

"Maybe there will be, but not now. Lolana looked at the crows thoughtfully, muttered for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "If there is something wrong with those crows, they should not appear at this time, unless it is ...... Mr. Ahmed, we need to hurry. Inform Palanti and let her take charge of the garrison on the new refugee's side, and kill her on the spot if anything happens!"

"Uh...... Is this necessary?" Ahmed asked with a surprised look at Lorana and a little strange. Everyone knows that Palanti's girl is the mad dog type that can't be taken back when she is released, and it is a bit difficult for her to be in charge of that kind of semi-pacifying work.

"It's necessary. Lolana nodded affirmatively and said, "I don't know what the prophet is up to, but if it were me, I would have ambushed a chess piece here......"

There are more and more refugees gathered outside the camp, many of whom are calling friends across the outer walls of the camp, and the outer walls of the temporary camp built by the Isttalens are actually their own wagon convoys, which can cause some obstacles to the rushing cavalry, but are somewhat powerless against the surging crowds. If it weren't for the Isttalon warriors standing in the wagon, the refugees outside would have climbed up. However, this deterrent can only have a temporary effect. When the refugees have gathered to a certain extent, the numerical superiority will cause them to temporarily forget their fears and allow their inner impulses to act excessively.

"That's my son! let my son in!" an old man in the camp, perhaps in his agitation, overcame his fear of the soldiers and rushed to the gate, crying out to the guards, "Let my son in! It was your lady who promised us that our whole family would be sheltered! Now my lost son is outside, please let him in!"

Of course, it was impossible for the soldier to move without the permission to go, so the old man became more and more angry, and he screamed, and rushed forward to snatch the soldier's weapon. At this moment when they saw that they were about to cause a catastrophe, suddenly a deafening roar erupted from the side, and both refugees and soldiers couldn't help but hug their heads.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Palanti walked out of the camp with the hilt of his sword at his waist and said coldly to the newly accepted refugees: "All the people who made trouble just now, stand up with your families, and don't hide behind your backs and chew your tongues." ”

Of course, no one wants to admit that he is a troublemaker, and it is normal for people to call friends and friends, and who can say that it is a deliberate attempt to cause trouble? Only the old man who snatched the weapon got up from the ground tremblingly, beckoned to the crowd, and called his wife and little daughter out.

"My son was outside, we were separated before, I didn't expect him to survive. Be merciful, kind young lady, and reunite our family!" said the old man to his knees with his wife and daughter on the ground, and said to Palanti with tears in his eyes.

"Which one is your son?" asked Palanti, pointing to the refugees outside.

"Iβ€”it's me!" said an unkempt young man outside the camp, but before he could utter a second sentence, he was pushed to the ground by the men around him, and another man, who clearly looked much older, patted his chest and shouted, "I'm his son!

The old man stared at the chaos outside the camp in amazement, and his mouth was open and he was speechless for a moment.

"To see which is your son, be sure to see clearly. Palanti said as she slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
