Chapter 089: Requisitioning cannon fodder

PS: I bowed down and thanked the book friend "jht121" for the tip. Well, there is also a monthly pass for the book friend's "Blue Phosphorus Fire", and the tanuki hugged his paws and thanked him~!^-^

Bang! Bang!

"Come out, gophers, don't you feed a pig every day...... Come out quickly, you don't want me to whip you up......"

Before dawn came, it was dark. Loud bangs on doors and insults woke the miners from their slumber.

After whispering greetings to the other woman's family, the miners struggled out of bed rubbing their eyes. This was followed by a simple wash, and then the black bread that served as the two meals was carried to the mining area.

"Ah......h ”

"Haha, it's you who reacted too violently. Throw the bed over, tsk, it's yours!"

David scratched his hair: "Fuck, can I blame this? I thought the pursuers were coming." ”

......

Tang En looked at David next to him with a stupid expression, and couldn't help laughing.

When the overseers came and slammed the door this morning, David threw himself down from the side of the bed, picked up the wooden bed next to it, and ran with a yell...... If it weren't for Mi Xiu, who was sleeping on the side, he quickly grabbed him, I'm afraid that the bed would have been thrown out. The people in the same room were not called by the overseer, but they were completely awakened by David's roar, and then they all looked at him stupidly, speechless......

"Hey, that's weird. Look, there are so many birds flying in the sky!" Seeing that the trend of ridicule increased, David suddenly pointed to the sky in surprise.

"Haha, David, your ability to change the subject is too bad!" someone saw through David's purpose and said mercilessly.

David blushed: "It was originally true, you see." Uh, and hit the mountain. This stupid bird!"

"Alright, let's all go in, old Bill is still waiting. Don waved the group into the mine. Then he unconsciously raised his head.

There were indeed many birds in the dim sky, but their flight paths were chaotic, as if they were a little panicked. Tsk, the early birds get worms, but you should at least shili be better......

Mining is not a simple manual job, and it takes two days for novices like Don and them to learn to do it. When everyone walked to yesterday's passage, they saw Old Bill waiting there. There were a few other people next to him, who also seemed to have just arrived.

The old bill was very excited to see Donn, and after greeting them. He began to babble again. There are all kinds of contents, there are everything, yesterday there were miners who were beaten half to death with rare ores, and his relatives at home asked him to finish doing it this year, so on and so forth.

Everyone was driven up early in the morning, and the spirit was naturally not very good, so they all responded with a ride or a match. Old Bill didn't mind, he was still talking alone.

When they arrived at yesterday's mine, Old Bill finally remembered that there was something to teach, and the ears of the people cleared. Then came the monotonous mining, and Don was not very interested in it. After turning on the peeping skill and scanning around, he dug up a few pieces of ore and showed it to Old Bill, who went to teach others.

They were going to stay here for a day today, and Tang En naturally didn't want to waste time, so he found a place to sit down and took the opportunity to go into the space again. Then come out every once in a while and go on again, which can be regarded as resting, training, and digging resistance.

However, just as Tang En entered the space training again, the light curtain suddenly began to tremble. Quickly came out, only to feel the soles of my feet shaking slightly. This is...... Earthquake?

"Don't panic, everyone. Old Bill reassured the panicked crowd, "It's just a slight shaking, it's normal in the mines, you'll know it when you've been here for a long time." ”

Old Bill has been mining for many years, and what he said is naturally convincing. And so it was, and the tremor quickly subsided.

Tang En frowned at this time, not that he didn't believe Old Bill, he just thought of the few tremors last night, and his heart was inexplicably a little uneasy. If there is a real earthquake, in such an environment, no matter how high the strength is, it will be useless.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right...... Don pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and it was useless to think about it now, because the miners were not allowed to go out of the mine before the time came. Next, Don didn't enter the space again, instead choosing to stay outside and keep an eye on his surroundings.

But it may be true, as the old butler said, that for the next few hours, the ground has been calm.

At noon, well, when they were hungry, everyone took out black rusks and nibbled on them. At this moment,

Bell bell bell ......

"Huh?" everyone collectively turned their heads, looking at the bell that kept shaking above the illumination crystal in the distance, and they were a little stunned. It's been a day so soon?

"Come out with me, everybody. Old Bill got up and said, "Something might be going on out there." ”

"Condition?"

"Well, there may be a lot of this, I can't say for sure, let's see it when we get out. ”

It's a good thing to be able to get out, and Don is the first to step forward. On the way, I met many miners, and like a stream slowly flowing into the sea, people from various branches poured out.

After walking for about half an hour, everyone came out of the mine. At this time, the mining area is very unpeaceful. Heavily armed soldiers have assembled in the open space, and some war equipment has been transported out of storage......

Not seeing much, Don and the others were asked to go back to their respective cabins.

"Brother Arthur. As soon as I entered the cabin, Frey, who had already returned, greeted me.

"Frey, this is ......" Donn asked, gesturing outside.

"Oh, it's supposed to be a mine grabber, and it has nothing to do with us. Frey said unconcernedly.

"Ore grabbing?"

"Yes, Brother Arthur, you are new here, and you don't know anything. Everyone wants such a thing as a vein, but there are so many that have been discovered, so naturally some people want to sit back and enjoy it and grab it directly. ”

"Understood!" To put it bluntly, it's all about profits, the ore is worth a lot of money, and dragging any vein is like grabbing a gold coin assembly line.

"This kind of thing happens almost once a month, and when the other party can't beat it, it will automatically retreat. After saying that, Frey smiled, "This is also a good thing for us, at least we can rest for half a day." haha......”

"That's right!" Donn nodded and smiled.

When the mining area is attacked, they and the miners naturally have to be managed in a unified manner to avoid riots or fishing in troubled waters.

Soon, when everyone had arrived, the gate was locked outside. Except for Tang En, everyone in the house was accustomed to it, some climbed into bed and began to sleep and rest, and some took out tools to open a gambling game, and played very happily.

Damn, it's really defensive...... Hearing Frey say that this place is often attacked, Don still has a little idea in his heart, but when he sees the guards running outside, he can't help but curse.

"Boss Arthur, do you want to play a few hands?" greeted a strong man who had eaten and drank with them last night.

"Hehe, Xiexie, you guys play. Donn shook his head and walked to his bed.

After two hours like this, a person casually looked out the window and said in surprise: "Hey, why are there so few soldiers outside?"

"Yo, really. It's a hard stubble, and it's not enough manpower to transfer it. ”

"Quite possibly! Hey, you say, will this place be taken down? ”

"It's our business, even if we fight down, we're still miners, and those people won't give us more meat to eat. ”

"Well, that's true!"

Hearing their conversation, Don walked to the window. Sure enough, the soldiers who had just been very dense were now only a few scattered squads, but there were still large groups of archers guarding the perimeter. At this moment,

Crash...... The lock is flipped and the door is pushed open.

And when they looked at the door, they saw a great crowd rushing in. It seems that they have just been killed, and these people are more or less bloodstained.

Clang, clangβ€”some soldiers threw piles of swords, guns, and axes in front of the crowd amid the constant sound of metal clashes.

Immediately, a middle-aged strong man with a black beard walked out and glanced around: "I don't want to say any nonsense, from now on you are requisitioned." This is a weapon, you choose one and come out. ”

"Uh......" Everyone looked at each other, all of them a little confused. Some of the people in shackles changed their faces slightly, and it was obvious that the battle situation outside must be tight, otherwise they would not have thought of them. It's like fighting on the battlefield and sometimes using prisoners. Of course, these captives are all cannon fodder characters......

Seeing that everyone didn't react, the middle-aged strong man with a black beard frowned, and pointed casually: "You, come out and get a weapon!"

"I, I, I, I ......" The man opened his mouth, looked at the pile of weapons in front of him, waved his hand, and retreated.

Whoosh - bang!

A powerful arrow pierced the man's brow in an instant, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

In an uproar, everyone was immediately in an uproar when they saw this.

Squeaky and hoarse, a group of archers bent their bows and pointed at them, and the crowd immediately fell silent again.

"Now, do you have any comments?" (To be continued.) )
