Two Hundred and Seventy-One Certain Laws
"Line up! Line up! I said you guys, don't you have any discipline? Do you know what a line is?" A young soldier pushed the crowd tirelessly, shouting loudly.
In front of him, the ragged civilians of the Holy Demon Empire were crowded together, and it was impossible to see that they used to be rich and aloof.
Half a year of war has cost them everything, the fertile land has been turned into scorched earth by bombs, and the peaceful homeland has been reduced to ruins under the roar of cannons.
But none of them can blame them. After all, it was the war started by the Holy Devil Empire first. After all, it was they who had unscrupulously enslaved those mortals who seemed to be powerless to fight back.
Now, with karma and reincarnation, those oppressed mortals now hold steel guns and dominate their own destiny.
"These starving refugees don't know what order is at all! Let them be so chaotic, and soon other teams will follow suit..." An officer looked at his comrades beside him and complained with some dissatisfaction.
He was instructed to rescue these desperate refugees, but he was unwilling to do this kind of shit.
When mortals were starving, there was no one to help them. Now it's the other way around. People in the Magic Empire are starving. Why would he actively lend a helping hand?
Hearing the officer's words, the non-commissioned officer beside him picked up his STG-44 assault rifle and pulled the trigger against the sky.
Suddenly, the dense gunshots suddenly sounded, everyone stopped pushing and shoving, and the chaotic team suddenly fell silent. .
It is impossible to riot, and it is impossible to riot in this life. The crowd has been hungry for so many days, and there is no capital to riot at all. They are just fish and meat to be slaughtered by others, and they have no power to fight back.
"I'll give you a minute! If your team is still so chaotic! The bullet from my next magazine will be swept into your face!" cold orders.
As he spoke, he pressed the tenon next to him and let the heavy magazine fall to the ground by himself. Then he calmly took out a new magazine from the ammunition bag on his chest and inserted it into his own. In an assault rifle.
Seeing that the crowd hadn't started to act, he reached out and pulled the bolt, making a crisp sound: "You have 55 seconds left!"
The frightened crowd began to move, and everyone began to find their own positions. After just over 20 seconds, a neat line was formed.
"You still have a way." The officer threw the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground and stepped on it with his foot to extinguish it: "This thing is addictive when you smoke it. It's really a good thing."
There used to be no such thing as cigarettes in Ireland Hill, but some of the nobles in Arlant liked to smoke leaves. With the development of technology, cigarettes also began to prevail, and eventually with the continuous expansion of the war, they became strategic materials and sought-after goods in the hands of officers and soldiers.
More and more soldiers and officers began to enjoy this fashionable thing. Anyway, they had money and subsidies, so soon cigarettes became a special supply within the army, and together with candy and alcohol, they became soldiers. One of the most welcome supplies.
The crowd gradually became more organized, and the efficiency of providing food to these refugees also began to increase significantly. In the distance is the surging water of the St. Runos River, and Ludwig has become a city in Ireland Hill.
According to the population size, Ludwig can be called a big city in Ireland Hill, but this big city is somewhat unreal in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of Ireland Hill.
They had heard before that this was the second largest city in the Holy Demon Empire, and it was also a magnificent magic metropolis with a population of one million.
But now, after the city was occupied by them,
Only then did they realize that there was a little bit of a gap from what they had imagined - well, this may be a slightly polite way of saying, but the gap is actually quite obvious.
You must know that the big cities in Ireland have basically begun to modernize and develop. Serris City already has new things like subways, electric lights and telephones have been popularized in thousands of households, and TV sets have been produced for several generations. .
But the so-called magic metropolis in front of me, not to mention high-end goods such as televisions, even lacks electric lights. There is only one power plant built by Ireland Hill, and the scale and equipment are still very low...
"My God... what is that..." A surrendered soldier cried out in surprise as he looked at the black dots flying in the distance.
Beside him, countless soldiers raised their heads, followed the roar of the engine, and saw a strange-looking plane flying towards them.
It was a new CH-47 transport helicopter with partially welded supports from a steel bridge hanging below it.
Following this helicopter, there is another helicopter of the same type. With the passage of time, the refugees and surrendered soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire who received food here were surprised to find that there were dozens of such helicopters.
They came from nowhere, and each plane had a part of a huge bridge hoisted beneath it. Then, groups of UH-1 helicopters appeared in the sky, bringing in a large number of engineering and technical personnel.
Immediately afterwards, the cranes on the tank chassis and the bulldozers all gathered, and the anti-aircraft gun barrels for air defense were also raised nearby. The entire river beach area began to become lively, and in the eyes of everyone surprised, a bridge began to be welded little by little.
In the afternoon, the refugees from the Holy Demon Empire who received food were still queuing up, waiting curiously while watching the bridge-building project in Alan Hill.
They never dreamed that the construction speed of the bridge in Ireland Hill could be so fast. In just two hours, about one-tenth of a bridge was welded.
Although most of the parts are prefabricated, these engineers are also full of achievements by being able to perform the miracle speed of building a bridgehead in 2 hours in front of many people.
These soldiers worked hard, and their task was to repair the road bridge by tomorrow morning, so that the 3rd Army could quickly cross the St. Runos River and round the south of Foz City, threatening the flank of the Foz defenders.
At this stage of the war, in fact, the Holy Demon Empire has collapsed, and there are chaotic refugees and a vulnerable army everywhere. Without the resistance of the organization, it basically poses no threat to Ailan Hill.
"Look! Mom! Look!" A boy wiped his snot and pointed to the steel bridge in the distance, exclaiming: "Another iron frame is installed! How fast! That flying thing is good Fantastic, stronger than a dragon!"
As a creature, a dragon cannot carry too heavy things in the sky. Therefore, these dragon knights cannot be used as transport troops, and their current status is becoming more and more embarrassing.
The dragon knights of the Holy Demon Empire can barely be counted as troops, and the dragon knights of Ailan Hill basically already belong to the category of the police force.
Most of the time, they are used as honor guards for military parades, and occasionally make cameos on patrols to maintain local law and order-basically, it is the same as the mounted police in modern cities.
Because of this, the number of giant dragon catalysts in Veronsa has plummeted. In addition to a small amount of replenishment to the "Mounted Police", there are also some directly supplied to nobles as pets or food...
After all, in Veronsa, the status of the dragon knight has declined significantly. It is better to honestly go to the factory to find a production worker for the knowledge magic ball-not to mention the higher allowance and more vacations, the better thing is that you don't have to worry about anything. Danger.
Beside the boy, a middle-aged man was dismissive of everything in front of him. He glanced at the neighbor who got the food and devoured it with a look of contempt on his face.
"Che, these mortals' food, you can eat like this, shame!" He whispered dissatisfiedly.
While muttering, he felt the acid in his stomach tumbling violently—this was a protest, an instinctive protest against hunger.
He covered his stomach, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and saw a mother and son in front of him, taking two bags of instant noodles and a packet of blocks with beautifully printed advertisements from the hands of the Alan Hill soldiers.
"These are compressed biscuits, you can't eat more! Eat a little, drink some water, and you will feel full!" The soldier has been tirelessly explaining the time of the afternoon. At this moment, he pointed to the side with a dry mouth. 's team: "Go over there to get clean water! Next!"
Mother and son left the team, and this man named Tramb became the leader. Covering his growling stomach, he stood in front of a stack of cardboard boxes with his head lowered.
The next second, a pack of instant noodles and a pack of compressed biscuits were held in both hands and handed to him: "Get your food, and go over there to get clean water!"
The man held those things subconsciously, saw Jessica's beautifully printed smile on it, and almost threw the things to the ground nervously. Such a seductive beauty, just wasted on the wrapping paper? Is Alan Hill crazy? Are you crazy too?
While staring at the beauty advertisement to vent his dissatisfaction, he continued muttering arrogantly: "I Tlambu starved to death, and if I jumped out of here, I wouldn't eat any of your food."
Walking around to the end of the line to receive the purified water, he smelled the faint oily smell of the compressed biscuits. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then carefully opened the wrapping paper with Jessica's smiling face, and took a bite of the compressed biscuits— - Mmmm, it smells so good.
