Chapter 1,635 Civilian Volunteerism

A set of righteousness to close the gate of the abyss fell on these adventurers and mercenaries who originally came from all directions and have not yet returned home. Of course, this also includes Ezio Augustus, one of the heroes in the war against the Abyss.

When the commander-in-chief, Duke Kawei, ordered the civilian volunteers to disband and the private armies of the nobles and the armies of various countries to return to their formation, Ezio handed over the command of the airship Twin Griffins and gathered with the members of the Brotherhood. Together.

Although the airship could be used if he wanted to, Ezio decided to stay with his brothers in the Brotherhood when there was no battle to fight.

Ezio didn't want to command the airship and do trivial tasks like delivering orders and conducting investigations. With the magician and the being behind him already taking action, he didn't think the devil would have a chance to come back.

But others don’t know these things. Therefore, it is still necessary for Ezio to stay and take everyone back well. The main reason is to guard against those ambitious people who trick their friends into doing those people's private affairs.

Although the order of the coalition forces has been issued to everyone, old Kawei Gong is not so unkind as to ask everyone to leave immediately. Those who do not leave will be treated as disobedience. Instead, a time limit was given for everyone to prepare.

The most important thing is how to distribute the remaining weapons, equipment and food supplies. It's easy to say that weapons and equipment can be divided among several countries and confiscated directly. But when you let people go home, you can't let others starve along the way or be robbed along the way.

The northern battlefield has long been a wasteland, and there is nowhere to grab it even if you want to. Unless it's your own head.

Even if you bring your own food to join the army at the beginning, after the war has been going on for a year or two, the food you brought has long since turned into shit. All supplies are coordinated by the Gwana Empire, so the supply requirements for returning home after disbandment will naturally be the responsibility of the Empire.

From the empire's standpoint, supplies are not urgent enough to require restrictions and planned distribution. Besides, they were all bleeding profusely, supporting a certain magician to build two magic towers and build a magic circle city. Of course, there is no need to be too stingy in providing supplies.

There are two advantages to doing this. First, it can win people's hearts and gain a good reputation. Face engineering is the same thing at all times and in all countries. People who have the opportunity to do it and know how to do it will not miss any opportunity.

Another benefit is that even if the food is not divided and eaten on the spot, does it not require human resources to move it home?

The food that has been stored in the rear will not be sent forward. The food that has been sent to the front line will only be left to rot if it is not eaten. So what to do is an obvious choice.

Although there is still the option of selling it to enrich his own pockets, how could a veteran like Old Kaweigong leave such an opportunity to others.

Controlling these grains has another unspeakable purpose. Those who are ambitious and want to become king in the northern part of the Fengdi Mountain Range, which has just been devastated by war, will not only find ways to recruit a group of people, but also pry out some food resources from the hands of old Kawei Gong.

Otherwise, there are only a few people. It is early summer, after the spring plowing period, and the snow in the north comes early again. Even if all of them turned into farmers, they would not be able to harvest until next autumn. If you don't want to starve to death during this period, you can only rely on the support of old Kawei Gong.

Although the old man does not directly contact these people, it is impossible to use the supplies in stock without his nod. From this perspective, Old Kawei Gong has indeed grasped the lifeblood of these people.

If those who plan to do big things are smarter, they will not bypass the coalition commander and secretly find those in charge of the warehouse to get some 'scrap'.

Because with the approval of the coalition commander, they can advertise to the outside world that they have the support of the Gwana Empire. No matter when something goes wrong, the empire will send troops to help it get 'justice'. It is better to have a reputation than to be born in a wild way.

So despite the fact that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces has announced their dissolution, the Magician Association can take advantage of the situation and pull these troops who have actual combat experience and do not belong to various countries or nobles to the gate of the abyss to carry out their will.

People who want to cause trouble are all greedy for the resources in the hands of old Kaweigong. Who can be attracted by the empty talk of the Magicians Association? Even if the association is willing to pay the price, of course they have to wait until they get it before discussing the follow-up. If things are not in place, it is all empty talk.

Compared with those who are thoughtful and do not give up on the 'requirements' of the Magician Association at all, the other group of people are a little shaken. That was a group of people, led by Ezio, who remained on the northern battlefield.

In addition to the fraternity members who came from elementary schools, the largest number of people in this group were some noble children.

Most of them do not have the main inheritance rights of the family, or need to compete, so they come to the battlefield to gain some qualifications. The largest number of such people came from the Karlsruhe Empire.

The main reason why they will stay on the battlefield and have not returned home is that they are worried that the evil camp coalition forces will come back. If everyone is separated, it will take time to come back, let alone reintegrate.

Then it would be better to stay and wait until the situation is clearer and ensure that the crisis is really resolved before going back. Anyway, during this period, the old man is in charge of the food. I dare not say for a long time, but I can still hold on for a month or two.

Then when news came out from the Magician Association, they called for closing the gate of the abyss in order to block the way of demon invasion. Only in this way can the evil scourge be completely eliminated once and for all. Instead of building a tower and blocking the entrance to the Gate of the Abyss to prevent the devil from attacking.

The most worrying point is that what should we do when the tower owner of the magic tower betrays Midi and condones the invasion of demons?

By that time, if you want to close the gate of the abyss, you will have to pay a higher price. It's not just about exorcising demons, but also capturing a magic tower before it's possible to close that damn door.

It has to be said that there is still a certain market for such panic-inducing anxiety statements. At least many people have come to lobby Ezio, asking him to lead everyone in 'attacking' the Gate of the Abyss.

Of course, many of these people came to join Ezio's team.

Their purpose is not necessarily to respond to the call of the Magician Association to help close the gate of the abyss. It is possible that after recruiting Ezio and others, he can plan his own ambitions. For example, enclosing the land and becoming the king.

Ezio, who had learned the truth about the whole thing from a certain magician early on, would certainly not follow those unreliable opinions. Not to mention those who have ulterior motives.

Although Ezio is young, he has not experienced enough things. But the principles of secrecy he learned from a certain magician in the past were actually used for intelligence purposes.

This is not to mention that most people don't know how to keep secrets. Many things are almost always talked about on the table. It's just that when facing different people, they will use different words, or even lie. Then naively think that the other party does not know other things...

Therefore, the young man also knows the real purpose behind those who come to contact Ezio.

Of course, if there are members of the Brotherhood who are willing to stay, Ezio will not deliberately stop them, but will only persuade them. Whether those who remain want to be the leader or follow others.

But Ezio stood in his way, and he couldn't arbitrarily demand that others listen to his opinions. Although he is considered the leader of the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood does not implement an arbitrary system with one word.

Ezio became the leader largely because his personal charisma was high enough to bring everyone together. The most important thing is that we will value everyone's opinions and will not act arbitrarily.

Everything is discussed; even if you want to act on your own ideas, you will have good reasons to convince others. So Ezio chose to tell the whole truth and let everyone understand.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say that he knew these things a long time ago. It's that he was very worried after the incident happened, so he went to question the magician and got the 'truth'.

The reason for not telling the complete truth was to prevent Ezio from falling into the trap of someone who already knew the truth but helped the magician to deceive everyone. An unknowing third party and an accomplice of a fraudster have completely different levels of credibility.

Due to the convenience of the forum, even if Ezio did not leave everyone's sight, no one would doubt whether he could contact the magician.

Secondly, everyone knows where Ezio comes from.

With the support of the old black dragon Augustus, he can be regarded as a 'part' in that family. Even if the magician doesn't answer in person, he will definitely be able to find out some information that is difficult for others to know.

As for whether those answers are the 'truth', everyone has a brain, can't they judge for themselves? Lin basically does not interfere in primary school education; but one thing he emphasizes is not to follow what others say.

Everything has to go through your own head. Don't believe anything you say without proof. Even if you provide evidence, you should still doubt the authenticity of the evidence to a certain extent. There are so many deceptions and deceptions in this world, and even the smartest people can be fooled.

Under such an education, it is unrealistic to train these people to be like SS soldiers. So someone just lets it go and doesn't expect the children in primary schools to help them.

Don't be like the academies established in the Southwest Peninsula in the past, where a group of children who worked hard and dedicated, but in the end chose to stab themselves in the back, it was already a blessing from the Buddha.

In short, although Ezio gave an answer that might be the truth, it was still a little short of convincing everyone. The main reason is still that little concern: What if the tower owner of the magic tower becomes a traitor and actively introduces the demon army?

"You wouldn't think that neither empire would guard against this move," Ezio said.

The movements of the two empires were quite clear, and even after the commander-in-chief Old Kaweigong gave the order, they took action immediately. The regular legions and noble private armies belonging to the Gwana Empire set off on the march after receiving supplies.

Some people go forward, some people go backward.

Likewise in the Haider Empire, all the airship troops gathered at the captain, reorganized, and flew towards the Gate of the Abyss.
