Chapter 107: Emergency Mobilization Order
The Lizardmen's envoy was beaten and bruised by the excited Delin Town Councilman, and he ran away with his head and cursed the group of "lower scaleless creatures" destined to pay the blood price for their barbarous acts, until the furious old dwarf copied it He threw a chair at him before shutting his mouth, and escaped from the town of Delin.
This dramatic scene was staged on the street, which had to arouse the curiosity of the witnesses. The news that the Lizardmen tribe was about to wage war against Delin Town was like wings. It spread to every household in the town within an afternoon. Panic spread like a plague. Until night came, there were still soft carriages of gold and silver running through the streets. The fleeing crowd led the livestock and lined up in the town.
Before the arrival of the Lizardmen Special Envoy, some members of the council led by Mayor Dindol originally had a fluke mentality, thinking that the surrender of Wes could get rid of the threat of war. At this moment their fluke mentality has been crushed by the cold reality. Realizing that the "son of the devil" Kotar wanted not only the fugitive of Weiss, but also tried to violate the freedom and property of all the people here and even all the townspeople. Anyone with a trace of dignity could not accept these brutal demands.
Surprisingly, there was no quarrel at the meeting held that night. All the members of the parliament unanimously agreed with the proposal made by Flint Anvil and Guillaume Theil: In order to respond to the lizardmen gangsters who might come at any time, mobilize all the manpower, The material and financial resources are used to prepare for the military, and fight against time to strengthen defense measures.
On the night of the end of the meeting, the notice board in the square in front of the town office posted the "Extraordinary Mobilization Order" signed by Mayor Dindale, requesting all militias and all adults over the age of 14 and under 45 who had received militia training Men report to the military camp, receive weapons and equipment, and perform wartime tasks such as patrols, reconnaissance, and trench excavation. Women are obliged to provide logistical support for the front-line militia and to do their part to protect their homeland.
Although this "mobilization order" issued during the emergency did not completely prohibit the townspeople from fleeing, they imposed strict restrictions on the identity of the asylum seekers: all public officials, including mayors, parliamentarians, judges, and military officers, should not leave their posts without authorization All the militiamen must stay on standby; women, the elderly and children can take refuge from their homes. As for the healthy and strong men, if they insist on fleeing their homes at this critical moment, the town council has the right to deprive them of their citizenship, confiscate their land and confiscate them according to law.
With the introduction of the mobilization order, the atmosphere in the town became unprecedentedly tense. Streets and streets are deserted, and occasionally pedestrians are mostly militia in armor and spears.
It is not uncommon for rural villages and towns in the New Continent to be attacked by bandits and even monsters. If you want to survive and reproduce in such a cruel environment, the civil martial arts are indispensable.
Delin Town is no exception. There are about 2,000 residents in the town, and about a quarter of them are suitable for military service. The vast majority of them rushed to the barracks on the evening of the day when the "mobilization order" was issued-March 20. The active militias plus "volunteers" have a total registered force of more than 500. The enthusiasm for enlisting in the army continued until the morning of March 21, when the rushed to the barracks to register was no longer dominated by young men, but more of the old man with gray hair and young people under 14 years of age, among which there are still many Female figure.
Joan also appeared in the crowd in front of the barracks, signing his name on the roster of volunteers, attracting curious eyes around. No matter in terms of age or health, this one-eyed juvenile mage has every reason to leave the stormy town of Delin-even if there is no need to escape, it is time to set off for the Leiden Port Olympic College. However, Joan chose to stay and chose to face the coming crisis with his countrymen. This is really a moving decision.
Joan noticed a subtle change in the way people looked at themselves, which became more intimate from the original respect. He can understand why people's attitude towards him has changed, but he knows clearly that his choice to stay in service is not out of the noble sentiment that people imagine, mainly because he was influenced by his grandfather, and he didn't want to damage his grandfather's name. The grandson of Mr. Yaom Thale is in a position to escape, how can his old man persuade others to stand firm?
In addition, Joan also felt a sense of guilt for inconvenience. Joan also heard about the surrender document read by the Special Envoy of the Lizardmen in the Chamber yesterday, and one of them demanded to "surrender the murderers who murdered Cohen and Chud." Others may not know who the so-called "murderer" refers to. Joan can't be confused. To a certain extent, the current troubles facing Delin Town are inseparable from him. The scourge he ran into has caused all the townsmen to suffer for him. It would be too shameless to just slip away without saying anything.
Joan is not the kind of person with a sense of justice, but he also has the bottom line of being a man. This bottom line is responsible for your words and deeds. Even if you can't be a respected hero role model, at least you need to be conscientious.
Joan was not used to being surrounded by people. After signing up, he planned to leave. Suddenly he heard someone shouting at himself. Looking back, it turned out to be the brothers Dick and Roger.
Joan walked over to say hello to the majestic brother Dingdall who was heavily armed, and upon closer inspection he realized that both brothers were wearing the captain's armband, which is equivalent to the rank of sergeant. Of course, the self-built militia guard team in the town is not part of the regular colonial army sequence, and the rank is only a temporary position.
"Joan, Roger and I have just been awarded the rank of non-commissioned officer by the town council. We were instructed to recruit people from the volunteers who signed up for service, to form a team of no more than ten people, and to take collective action during the war." Dick observed the crowd around him , A little mysteriously said to Joan: "There are also many veterans of the security team who have received the same authorization. At this time, they are all selecting personnel, hoping to include the strongest volunteers in their teams, but they all look away. Looking at it, I didn't realize that your role as a fragile little mage on the battlefield is worth a dozen strong men! Joan, are you interested in joining me and Roger's team?"
Joan thought about it. Anyway, all volunteers who served temporarily would eventually be put into a veteran squad. On the battlefield of life and death, he would rather choose his destiny in the hands of a strange commander. The Dingdall brothers, who once fought side by side and trusted in both strength and character, nodded happily.
