Chapter 123: Gathering
The room was so quiet that even Sophia was silent, and everyone's eyes were on Leon, who stood at the window, holding on to the windowsill with one hand and his waist on the other, confidently waiting.
The composure and confidence of the regiment leader made the members of the group also infected, they had already understood Li Ang's thoughts, and even Kaka was full of praise for this plan, so the next thing was just to wait, and then follow Li Ang to act together, this is almost everyone's idea.
Leon didn't know what these people were thinking, he recalled in his mind that when he first arrived in the lower city, Jeff and the two young girls were provoked, although the other party was severely punished in the end, but from the reaction of the surrounding crowd in this incident, you can see the good things of the residents of the lower city, and it can even be said to be belligerent.
And the human corpses I saw on the street just now showed that a small number of people in the lower city had already clashed with the undead, but it should have been that they saw too many undead later, so they hid back.
Of course, the vast majority of people have the idea that it has nothing to do with themselves, but Li Ang believes that there is a "huge" bounty, and these people will definitely be tempted.
"And I'm going to be on the cusp again...... If there are too many people for a while, will there be stage fright?"
This kind of thinking is not even certain for Li Ang himself, so he took advantage of this "relaxed" time before anyone came, and began to recall the various war movies he had watched in his previous life over and over again, and almost every one of them would have an impassioned speech, that kind of look, that kind of voice, all of which are classic existences!
"Independence Day" and "Braveheart" are already clichés, and there are many more movies of various genres and styles that can be figured out and imitated.
So he was standing in front of the window, in fact, he was just reviewing the clips from these classic movies.
......
Time passed second by second, a drop of water rolled down from the sky, and finally it began to rain, but the rain was still very sparse, and with the sound of dripping rain, a figure gradually appeared in Li Ang's sight.
Leon's hand suddenly grasped the windowsill, but quickly relaxed again, and said, "Eric, Jeff, go out and say hello." ”
Naturally, the two of them took the order and began to lead the people to the courtyard of Kaka's house.
This is not because Li Ang is the head of the regiment, but he feels that there must be a suitable time to appear on such an occasion, too early will be despised, too late will be disgusting.
Soon, there were more than a hundred people coming, almost occupying nearly a third of the courtyard, all of whom were lazy-looking, greeting acquaintances with vulgar language from time to time, and they were polite to Eric, but they didn't bother to pay attention to the unfamiliar face of Jeff.
But it wasn't a big deal for Jeff, who was still smiling and greeting the new arrivals back and forth.
After a few minutes, the number of people had doubled, and in the distance, people who had just heard the news were walking in this direction, and people gathered in the courtyard began to peek into the small building.
"Almost......" Leon took a breath and straightened his appearance.
Not to mention, the "Edward's apology" top is very suitable for the current scene.
With a "squeak", Li Ang pushed open the door and took the lead to walk outside, followed by Kaka and the other members of the group.
With the experience of appearing at the ceremonial reception just now, plus reviewing the movie scenes several times, Li Ang's current mentality is very good, and he is already slender, walking upright, steady and powerful, with a slight smile on his face, and at the same time looking at the people outside one by one with bright eyes.
As soon as the young leader appeared, he attracted the attention of most of the people outside, and their eyes circled back and forth on Leon and Kaka behind him a few times, and finally fixed on the young man in the front.
"Didn't you say that it was the Kaka who issued the task?"
"Yes, Kaka should be a dwarf, ah, it's the one who walks in second place, why is this young man walking in the front?"
"It is said that Kaka joined the leader of the mercenary group?"
"I seem to have an impression of this kid, that is, they beat Ah Hu's three people in the market a few days ago!"
"I don't even know about it!
"Later, Ah Hu's brother, who was very mixed up in the brotherhood, arrived, and instead of making a move, he treated him like a distinguished guest!
"I said why hasn't Ah Hu come over these days...... So, it seems that this thing is true today?"
"It's hard to say, who do you think will post a task for a few hundred gold coins per person? Isn't that crazy!"
"Could it be that they misheard? The coins are divided equally among everyone?"
"Probably not! but...... Even so, you might be able to divide several of them in the end!"
"But it's said that the mission is dangerous......"
"Isn't that nonsense, aren't your tricks dangerous, and how much money do you make in the end?"
......
These people are usually used to being casual, and when they speak, they are unscrupulous and loud.
All sorts of chattering came to Leon's ears, and he didn't change his face, as if he didn't care, and walked towards a high platform in the courtyard.
This position was in the middle of the crowd, and Li Ang walked over directly, his footsteps did not slow down at all, his eyes and movements seemed to have an invisible sense of persecution, so that the crowd in front of him automatically divided a path.
When he stepped onto the high platform, he knew that his first step had worked, and he had succeeded in making an impression in the minds of these people - of course, there were some people hidden in the crowd who had already been bribed by Eric, and their appearance was very good, and they had successfully helped Leon to create this momentum.
However, the earliest people in the courtyard actually belonged to the lowest level of people in the lower city, and only they would rush over as soon as they heard the news.
As for those who will be more self-sustaining, they will be slightly behind, which is a kind of dividing line between people.
So Leon stood on the high platform, and did not speak, but looked at the street in front of him with his hands behind his back.
The courtyard can accommodate more than 300 people at most, and if you go inside, it will be crowded, and Leon said: "If you tear down the wall, the view will be wider." ”
Kaka next to him responded: "I'll come!"
With that, the alchemist leaped forward, tearing down a portion of the courtyard wall in a matter of seconds like a humanoid demolition machine.
Kaka, who jumped back and stood beside Li Ang, scolded in his heart: "Stinky boy, I am dutifully cooperating with my own hands, and it will be up to you what you say in a while!"
After the wall was torn down, the view was much clearer, and there was an endless stream of people walking towards the entire long street in front of him, and the number of people gathered at a glance reached almost 500.
Almost, Leon started with a cough to attract the attention of the crowd around him, and then began to introduce himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Li Ang, the leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group, this mission was released by me, I believe you already have some understanding, I will repeat the key point now - after the mission is over, each person will be paid at least three hundred gold coins, and he will never break his word!"
The opening remarks caused a commotion, and the whole street was immediately filled with "buzzing" discussions, and these people now knew that they had not heard it wrong, but that it was indeed "everyone" three hundred gold coins!
This is a huge sum of money that most people can't imagine! They have to work hard for years without food or drink to make so much money! When they focus on Leon again, they can almost feel the blazing flame contained in it.
Someone nearby shouted, "Hey, boy, do you know how many people are here, do you know how much you're going to be paid?"
"Nonsense!" Li Ang said coldly to the source of the voice: "Your brain has been eaten by dogs, since I dare to release this mission, don't you know how many people are here and how much money they will have to pay in total?"
"Ask substantive questions if you want to, don't waste everyone's time by asking such idiotic questions!"
Li Ang knew that these people who came had a rebellious personality, and if they were a little weak now, they would be suspected by most people, so he was ruthless when he spoke.
Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter all around, and someone shouted, "Scarface!
The person who spoke just now was not annoyed at all, but touched the scar on his face and laughed, "Okay, then I'll listen to what others have to say!"
A slightly calmer person asked, "Commander Leon, it is said that this mission is very dangerous?"
"Yes!" Leon nodded, he looked at the crowd that had gradually quieted down, and said again: "This mission is very dangerous, it may be more dangerous than all your previous missions, so there is such a high reward!"
"Now there are thousands of undead in this city, their purpose is to attack all the forces of the council, and the goal of the mission is them, and the ultimate goal is to drive them out of the chaotic capital!"
At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent, and people looked at each other, some of them with a look of surprise, and a few people with a look of understanding in their eyes. Anyone with a more cerebral mind can guess that in the current situation, if someone issues a mission with such a huge pay, there is a good chance that the target will be directed at the undead army.
They didn't know the purpose of such a sudden influx of undead into the City of Chaos, but they had learned what had happened on the streets of the lower city an hour earlier.
At first, when the vanguard of the undead passed by, they were stopped by some people who wanted to stir up trouble, and of course all of them were killed. Then the skeleton soldiers began to attack the lively crowd on the street, and there were many casualties in the unpreparedness, but fortunately it was not yet night, and most of the people in the lower city were resting, so they were not involved.
The number of people in the street was very small, and the wolf bèi fled after being hunted, and when they found someone retreating to the house, they gave up the pursuit, and the rest of the people immediately ran to a nearby building, escaping this unwarranted disaster.
The shouts of killing alarmed the nearby residents, who saw the fighting in the streets in their homes, and before they could react, they saw an even larger number of undead soldiers appear in the distance, and these onlookers finally realized that something big must have happened in the chaotic capital this afternoon.
"And can we solve such a big thing?" many people thought silently.
