Chapter 157: Heroes Awarded Medals, Preparations for Army Expansion
Looking at the group of soldiers who had returned safely, Goodern also had a smile on his face.
can return safely, for Qingyuan Town, these soldiers are special veterans.
In addition to the increase in strength, the most important thing is that their results can also be used as an important example of propaganda and encouragement.
"I am very happy that you have returned from your mission safely, and I hereby announce that the garrison of the War Fortress has shown our momentum in the first battle against the orc army because of its outstanding combat achievements, and the officers and soldiers participating in the garrison have been promoted to a higher level, and the battle medal will be awarded in two days!"
After Goodern's announcement, the soldiers below shouted in unison.
"Fight for the Lord! Fight for the Empire! Victory!"
"Fight for the Lord! Fight for the Empire! Victory!"
……
The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the air over the barracks, causing residents passing by outside to look back at the barracks in amazement.
After condolences to the returning warriors, Goodern returned to the command room, where Noros was already waiting.
"Young Master, the mission has been successfully completed, these are recorded images, the materials in the war fortress have been emptied, and the corpses have been blown up and burned according to your request."
Noros respectfully reported on his mission, and at the same time took the storage artifact that Goodwin had given him and handed it back to the other party.
Although this thing used to belong to him, but now it was nominally seized by Gooden, and he didn't have a spare storage magic weapon, and this one was not in the way of the young master.
With the space magic weapon in his hand, Goodern nodded in praise in a good mood.
"Good job, you've worked hard for the past two days, and when my strength breaks through, I'll be looking for an opportunity to improve your strength."
Hearing this, Noros trembled slightly with excitement, and quickly nodded his head to show his loyalty and gratitude.
Gooden only nodded slightly at Noros's words, and then continued.
"After this operation, there will definitely be some movements of the orc army, and in the next two days, you still have to go out to investigate as before, and update the defense map in time to make arrangements."
"Yes, young master."
After Noros nodded and agreed to the mission, he was sent away by Gooden.
At present, the army has all been withdrawn, and the intelligence collection of the orc army is also going well, and the next thing is to figure out how to deal with the orc army.
Although the armament situation of Qingyuan Town is insufficient, with powerful weapons and cooperation, it can still have a chance to fight with the orc army.
And judging from the investigation in the past few days, there are only less than 30,000 orcs around Qingyuan Town, and the nearest orc army is also in Jinyuan City.
For example, the orcs in other towns have only reached a thousand, and they are completely small shrimps.
If there is a chance to hurt or repel this orc army, then it will bring a very favorable environment for the next re-mining.
However, if you want to inflict heavy damage on the orc army, this is not easy, and it requires time and timing of planning and design.
After a simple plan, Goodern put it aside and went to arrange the design and manufacture of the medallion.
……
On the 17th day of the 11th month of the ephemeris, two days have passed since the return of the soldiers of the War Fortress.
In the past two days, refugees from various fallen towns have arrived in Qingyuan Town one after another, and according to rough statistics, excluding one person from Jinyuan City, the number of refugees who have arrived now has exceeded three.
And this number is increasing every day, such a terrifying number that the entire eastern city wall has been filled with refugees who want to enter the town.
With so many refugees combined, it is extremely difficult to manage.
In addition, many refugees had exhausted their physical strength after rushing through the road, and there was no food to replenish, so they fainted and died at the door, and the number of deaths exceeded 100 in three days.
This kind of thing, if placed in modern society, is definitely an appalling problem of serious handling mistakes.
Even if Gooden wants to avoid this situation, with the current situation in Qingyuan Town, it is difficult to digest and deal with these populations in a short period of time.
In particular, the deliberate assault on the city gate that broke out yesterday made the follow-up audit and management work more stringent.
The fleeing procession also included many hooligans and ruffians from other places, and malicious guidance led to an assault yesterday afternoon, with thousands of people being encouraged to refuse to check in to the city.
This shock was also bound to be accompanied by bloodshed, the death of hundreds of people and the public execution of the leader, which put an end to the crisis.
Moreover, with the thunderous means of the combat preparation army, the refugees saw how terrifying the armed forces of Qingyuan Town were, and many people were secretly glad that they did not join the shock team yesterday.
At the same time, he also thinks that coming to Qingyuan Town is the right choice, but at present, if he wants to enter the city, he will have to wait for a long time.
But what they were most concerned about at the moment was a publication called a newspaper.
The return of the defenders of the War Fortress, combined with the recent news, did not wait a week for Goodborn to have a second special edition of the newspaper published.
It will give a detailed account of the heroic performance of this team in battle, and will focus on the deeds of the soldiers who are still alive and who died in battle, so as to expand the fermentation of this matter.
Under normal circumstances, a victory doesn't actually need such a stirring publicity, but this battle is of great significance to Qingyuan Town.
Especially in the case of the fall of other cities one after another, a big victory is an unparalleled boost for Qingyuan Town and for the refugees who have fled.
Even if such a serious incident happened yesterday, it still did not stop everyone's attention from this award ceremony, even the refugees outside the city.
At noon, the town square.
The huge altar has been erected.
Residents of the town flocked to watch the grand ceremony.
However, the town square could not accommodate so many people, so with the help of Herissa, the projection of the meeting was transferred to the big one in real time.
Above Qingyuan Town and on the wall of the East Gate, a huge light curtain was projected, allowing everyone to see the situation at the award ceremony in real time.
Wearing a special military dress on the stage, Gooden, as the lord of Qingyuan, is also the actual *** of the entire town, and it is most suitable for him to appear as the opening.
Looking at the large number of residents in the black press, Goodwin took a deep breath, and after using the sound transmission magic to spread his voice throughout the town, he began to preside over it.
"Hello the lords of Qingyuan Town, the people of the empire who have taken refuge in foreign places, I am the lord of Qingyuan, Gooden."
"The dastardly orcs have launched a sneak attack on the weakest part of the empire, intending to take over the northern frontier in one fell swoop, and plunge us into war."
"Many of the refugees from outside may wonder at first why the orcs drove you west to Qingyuan Town."
"The reason for this is very simple, it is because the soldiers of the Qingyuan Town War Reserve Army have beaten the orcs so badly that they dare not have the idea of attacking Qingyuan Town."
As soon as these words came out, many foreign refugees whispered about it, and many people scoffed at Gooden's words.
Can it hurt the orcs? As soon as the empire was founded, only the first generation of emperors and the second generation of emperors could have this kind of achievement.
And in this remote town, the lord here dared to say such a thing?
Although Gooden's face looks relatively young, it looks very majestic under this special military dress and the experience of this time.
But that didn't stop them from being skeptical of Gooden's words.
However, compared with the refugees, the residents of Qingyuan Town are very excited.
They believed in Gooden's words very much, and in just a few months, the barren Qingyuan Town had developed to the present, and the most important people among them knew that they could not do without the guidance of the lord.
If there is a popular finger
If you count, even if you are the residents of Snow Valley Town who joined later, their popularity index is at least 90 years old.
And the original residents of Qingyuan Town? It was already 100% full.
In the face of the doubts of the refugees, although Goodern does not see it at the moment, he can also know and guess that there will be such a scene.
So the next thing is to borrow the magic of light and shadow recording, and tell the whole story of the three battles of the War Fortress.
The whole battle was only a thousand words, but it highlighted every thrilling crisis point, and emphasized the soldiers who stood up in the battle at that time.
In the seven major battles of tens of thousands of orcs, more than 7,000 enemies were annihilated, and 28 people were sacrificed, and the battle loss ratio was as high as 1 to 2!
The corpses of the orcs, piled up like small hills in the light and shadow, make the viewer breathe.
These turned out to be true!
It's hard to fake things recorded by magic light and shadow, and I'm afraid that the footage of this kind of recording is all real.
"Seven valiant warriors, in the face of the horde of orcs, finally won at the cost of twenty-eight, and here I will personally award the surviving remnants of the award."
As Goodern spoke, forty-seven soldiers of the Combat Readiness Army with murderous spirits held their heads held high on the podium.
"Forty-seven heroic soldiers, as well as the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, were awarded collective first-class meritorious service."
"Sacrifice twenty-eight people, and add personal first-class combat merits."
"All survivors, award personal second-class combat merits."
"Outstanding performance will be awarded personal first-class combat merits."
Goodern said as he took out the specially made feats from the storage artifact and put them on to the soldiers.
The arrangement of the battle exploits is similar to that of the rabbit family before the crossing and is directly copied, and the production of the medal is made of copper, silver, and gold.
The badge of the third class is painted in eighty percent bronze and twenty percent silver.
The badge of the second-class merit is carved with 80 percent silver and 20 percent gold, while the badge of the first class is made of pure gold.
Originally, Gooden's plan was to award first-level combat merits to everyone, but after looking at it, he felt that this would make this thing degrade, so he downgraded it to second-level combat merits.
For those who excelled in battle, and who had saved the fortress of war without loss, were awarded the first class of merit.
There are forty-seven first-class combat merits, and they only get it.
This kind of honor made the winners have a proud look on their faces.
And for this kind of record, not all the members won the highest honor, which is a little strange for the residents who watched the ceremony, but it is more of an affirmation of the gold content of the first-class combat achievements.
The ceremony of the award was over, but Goodern did not directly announce the end, but continued to speak slowly.
"The Seven Heroic Warriors have dealt a heavy blow to the orcs with their own strength, so that they do not dare to covet the war fortress, nor dare they try to attack Qingyuan Town."
"But they didn't give up the plan to attack Qingyuan Town, if the attack didn't work, they would use insidious tricks, and the rest of the cities and towns didn't have the defensive ability of Qingyuan Town, and the fall was inevitable."
"In order to win without a fight, the orc army has rushed the residents of the fallen city to Qingyuan Town, so that you can consume the food of Qingyuan Town, and the large number of personnel joining will also make the management of Qingyuan Town more difficult."
"And the orc army is short of food, and after driving you here, they will have food to continue fighting, such ambitions can be seen at a glance, but you don't have to worry, the food reserves in Qingyuan Town are very sufficient, enough to support for several months, and by then the imperial reinforcements have already arrived."
The refugees and the townspeople learned about the results of the battle in Qingyuan Town, and after Goodern's explanation, it was suddenly realized.
No wonder the orcs didn't let them move to a safe place within the empire, so they had to let them go west to Qingyuan Town, it turned out that there was still this layer of relationship.
Fortunately, the lords of Qingyuan Town had already prepared, otherwise they would have starved to death when they arrived here.
"But there is one thing you must be clear, in Qingyuan Town, I can give you a guarantee of safety,
But food is something that you have to work to obtain."
"Qingyuan Town does not raise idlers, if you really don't have a skill, you can choose to join the army, join the army of Qingyuan Town, and those who are willing to join the army of Qingyuan Town can give priority to their wives, children, and parents to the town, and at the same time have the minimum monthly salary of thirty silver coins, and those with outstanding military achievements can get more rewards after they are promoted."
"Even if you die unexpectedly in battle, I will promise that your family will be directly taken care of by Qingyuan Town, and you will also have a minimum monthly pension to ensure your life."
At the end of Gooden's awarding ceremony, he did not forget to release the news of the conscription to the refugees.
After the explanation was completed, Gooden also routinely encouraged and ended the award ceremony.
Outside the East Gate, as the huge light and shadow disappeared, everyone chatted around the fire about the news of the live broadcast of the award just now.
Generous military salaries and salaries, as well as various aftermath benefits, this standard is already very generous.
Moreover, after learning about the military achievements of Qingyuan Town at the beginning, many of the foreign refugees were moved and wanted to sign up.
This continuous combination not only improved the cohesion and self-confidence of the residents of Qingyuan Town, but also gave new hope to the refugees.
After all, it is already a very generous benefit to let the family have priority access to Qingyuan Town.
You must know that the impact of the scum yesterday has led to a slower and stricter follow-up review, and the number of refugees is increasing, and I don't know when I want to enter the town.
Now that there is an opportunity to cut the queue, many people are planning to want to give it a try.
After the ceremony, the staff of the General Affairs Department also began to get busy, and began to arrange the preparation of the window for conscription.
For residents of Jinyuan Castle who have already entered Cheongwon Town, they can go directly to the General Affairs Department building to apply for a report.
For refugees outside the country, a new screening window will have to be set up to register those who are willing to join the army.
With the opening of the three passages to join the army, it didn't take long for a long line to form.
Judging from the number of people in the three queues, there are also people, and this scale makes Gooden very surprised.
However, registration is registration, and it is unknown how many people will be able to come in after screening.
……
The process of signing up for the army lasted a whole day, and the final count of 6,700 people was counted.
Goodern was also very satisfied with this enthusiastic intention, but it was impossible for him to recruit all of these people directly into the army.
It has to go through a round of screening to get a specific number of recruits.
Originally, Gooden's plan was to expand the number of people first, but now it seems that this number can continue to grow to about one person.
This number is the largest number he has calculated that can be digested and absorbed at present, after all, the expansion of the army is not simply the recruitment of people.
Weapons and equipment, monthly military salaries, these are all questions that Goodern needs to calculate.
At present, Qingyuan Town's capital reserves, taking out 30 percent to support the army is already the limit number.
Combined with the original number of troops, if one person is recruited, the total number of troops under his control will reach 2,000.
These two thousand people are not ordinary soldiers who go to the battlefield with swords and armor, but semi-modern soldiers who are serious.
The strength of the explosion is much stronger than the army of the fantasy medieval.
However, in addition to recruiting soldiers, there are still many headaches that he needs to solve.
The housing problem is to accommodate tens of thousands of people in Qingyuan Town, which is a big project, and this number is still rising.
After yesterday's award ceremony, Goodern also sent Noros to the surrounding area to investigate, and found that the number of refugees was staggering.
Counting the number of people who have arrived here in Qingyuan Town, there are at least sixty or seventy thousand people on the road.
With an influx of more than 100,000 people, this number is right
Goodborn is a huge pressure challenge, and if it doesn't handle it well, it can be a serious incident.
At present, in order to ensure the safety of Qingyuan Town, the construction team has also set up a temporary camp outside the East Gate for simple rest and shelter for refugees from outside.
As for directly putting people into Qingyuan Town, Gu Deen has his own measure of this matter.
Unless it is the orc army that surrounds Qingyuan Town, it is not easy to let the refugees pour in at this time, and it must be completed after the registration and work arrangements can be put in.
Otherwise, endlessly letting refugees join will only bring congestion and hardship to Qingyuan Town, and will not do any good.
