Chapter 19: Ignition

Everything was like a dream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Jacques patted his face hard, and the hot pain came clearly, this is not a dream!

I was really chosen!

Looking at the knight holding the flag high in front of him, and at the companions around him and behind him, Jacques only felt that his heart was full of satisfaction.

I'm going to fight for His Majesty Napoleon, really, truly!

Looking at the flag fluttering in the wind, Jacques only felt his heart flutter.

However, he couldn't drift too far, after all, he had a mission now.

The team consisted of nearly 100 people, gathering people from several nearby villages, most of whom were young men who had volunteered to sign up like him, and a small number of them were frustrated people who had been brushed off in the last conscription.

After two days of preparation and farewell, everyone gathered together as a team to march towards hope under the guidance of the knight.

And Jacques's task is to lead his companions along the way.

Of course, this companion was not a child, so why did he need a lead? because he was blind.

Because he was from the same village as Jacques, Jacques knew him well, his name was Sammy, he was two years older than him, and his eyesight was getting worse and worse because he had accidentally eaten poisonous mushrooms a few years ago, and finally, the world turned dark in his eyes.

Although it is not known why the proclamator agreed to let him join in, since they are companions, Jacques has to take care of her.

It's just that Jacques is a little suspicious, although he is a little lame, and there are many people in the team who are thinner or have slightly disabled limbs, but a blind man, no matter how he thinks, can't help.

Listening to the proclamator, it is a job such as repairing the city wall, which is ...... Even if Sammy could move rocks, he wouldn't be able to do the work.

Since he couldn't understand it, Jacques decided not to think about it, after all, it was an order from His Majesty, and His Majesty Napoleon never missed it!

The village is not too far from the city of Paris. The team marched all the way, passing the garrisons of the reservists, and then all the way north, gathering several other teams.

The number of people in the group grew, and Jacques even saw people sitting on the cart with lost legs.

I passed through the well-organized camp of the current soldiers and saw their majestic military strength. After another turn, over a hill, through a rugged mountain road, they entered an empty valley.

The valley was empty, and it was big and scary inside, the original dense weeds had long since been burned away, revealing the black and white ground, and the outside was surrounded by a low hedge, which was full of people, some logs, some food supplies, and some tents that had just been erected.

Is this our camp of the future?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jacques sighed with emotion.

But it didn't take long for the sea to be touched, and the leading knights handed them over to the camp administrators.

Those managers looked like serious soldiers, and many of them had an astonishing aura of murder that made people fearful.

They were also resolute and decisive, and after a while, everyone was divided into teams, arranged, and joined the construction army in the camp.

The land was compacted and leveled by large stone wheels, the logs were polished, peeled and cut, and everyone shouted trumpets and breathed white air, erecting huge logs to form beams and pillars, and wooden houses grew in the camp at a speed visible to the naked eye......

Large stones were piled up at the base of the wall, and in a circle around the outer city of the wooden house, small stones were collected and spread on the ground to form a smooth stone path......

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the moon sets and the sun is born.

The number of tents is slowly decreasing, the variety of raw materials and materials is also slowly decreasing, and the variety of wooden houses in the camp is slowly increasing.

At last the tents were collected, tied, and sent out of the valley, and everyone took up their huts.

There are many types of wooden houses, including living cabins with full beds, canteens, granaries, toilets, utility rooms, and open, light-filled training grounds.

After more than half a month of hard work, Jacques also lived in a wooden house, where he could smell the fragrance of the wood and imagine the future.

After the construction of the camp was completed, everyone suddenly had no tasks, and there was nothing else to do every day except rest, eat and sleep.

Two days later, just as everyone was getting impatient and some gossip began to spread, a group of strangers came to the camp.

Although they were strangers, Jacques had seen them in strange attire, similar to the two men led by the proclaimant that day.

Everyone was gathered, and tens of thousands of people sat in a dark circle in the large hall in the center of the camp. Luckily, Jacques sat at the front in a group.

Surrounded by a group of men in strange military uniforms, a beautiful woman stood on the podium.

It was the first time Jacques had seen such a beautiful girl, her cheeks were a little red, and her eyes were reluctant to blink, only greedy to look at them.

Her voice was as melodious as her countenance: "My name is Sophie, Sophie Marceau, I am a general of the French Empire, and I am the Minister of National Security of France! Our department is different from other departments! We are directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor!"

In the midst of the buzzing exclamations of the audience, her tone was still loud, so that everyone could hear it clearly: "Our department, like the original musket team, has the main job of maintaining the security of the empire! Maintaining the safety of His Majesty the Emperor! Of course, the most important job is to eradicate the hidden dangers of the empire!"

With his order, a row of more than a dozen people was led out.

One by one, they were tied up strongly, writhing and struggling wildly, but they couldn't break free. And most of the faces of them, Jacques had seen in the camp, were people who, like them, had been drafted into the camp and built the camp.

"They are a hidden danger! According to these observations, we have determined that they are spies of other countries or organizations! Their presence will seriously undermine this great plan that we are about to carry out!" The incomparably beautiful Sufi general's face was frosty: "Now, I declare that they will be executed on the spot!"

The broadsword was raised, and in a flash, more than a dozen heads rolled off the podium and hid in front of the crowd, causing an uproar.

Jacques was not too afraid, although his heart was beating fast, but he carefully recognized that the owner of the head did always say some sensational things on weekdays, which undermined everyone's self-confidence, such as "Your Majesty deceived everyone to come here to hold a blood sacrifice to continue their lives!", "We are here to sparring partners, targets, and to kill those regular soldiers!" ...... According to this analysis, he is indeed a spy!

"Alright!" the beautiful general Sophie waved his hand, and the body and head were taken down: "Everyone has been here for so long, and you must have thought about why Your Majesty recruited everyone, and why you let everyone build a camp where birds don't." Now that we've eradicated the hidden dangers, I'm going to officially tell you about our plans!"

Her voice was impassioned: "This is a great plan! It is a plan related to our national fortunes in France! This plan requires the participation and efforts of each and every one of you! It is a matter of confidentiality, and I cannot tell you the full picture of this plan, but I believe that your efforts will not be meaningless! Your efforts, I, and Your Majesty, are all in sight!"

"And the first step of this plan is to make your cultivation stronger! First of all, we will teach you a set of internal strength and mental methods to practice, and you must practice day and night, very hard! When you reach a certain standard, you will enter the next stage! Then you will carry out further guidance and further cultivation!

"If any of you complete all the stages, his fate will change! He will have the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Emperor! He will be personally rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor! Medals! Knighthoods! Land! Supreme Glory!"

The audience boiled all at once, as if countless balls of grease were ignited, burning wildly!
