Chapter 190 “People” Come to the City
Finally, two days after Roland triggered this incident, the soldiers on the outermost perimeter finally discovered the tsunami of refugees.
"Your Highness, the signal flare has risen from the northeast!" A soldier came in to report.
"Northeast? What a coincidence, we crossed the Centaur territory perfectly..." Roland turned the hilt of his sword and smiled. The system is really "understanding"! Is this wave of refugees okay?
"Inform the troops! Otherwise it will be troublesome if they are accidentally injured! After all, the Tuput Forest is less than 20 miles away from us." Mr. Radil said from the side.
"Well, let's go and notify them. If there is a fight, both of them will suffer. Try to avoid unnecessary losses." Roland nodded. He didn't want the troops and the refugees to rush together. The scene... was so touching!
"Prepare for war! Prepare for war!" Marcus yelled on the top of the city not far away, instructing the soldiers to carry various city defense supplies. Although no one expected to use them, they absolutely couldn't live without them.
"Really...does it have to be like this? They are also our tribe..." Nyx looked at the busy defenders on the city with guilt, as if all this was because of her fault.
"It's not your fault, dear... We have no choice. I am responsible for the residents of the city. We are not qualified to sacrifice these already happy people in order to save these suffering people. They are not wrong! But...I am the king! I need to prepare for the worst...I'm sorry...my Grand Duke." Roland kissed Nyx gently, tightened his cloak and walked towards the city.
Nyx stood quietly at the foot of the city, looking at the man standing on the city wall looking into the distance. She could feel the pressure on his shoulders. He carried the hope of a country, and he had to use his narrow back to carry it. A piece of land.
"I have to carry half of the country, and I have to protect this city wall..." Roland sighed while caressing the wall tiles covered with magic patterns, and looked to the northeast.
"Oh God! Retreat! Get out of here!" The retreating soldiers in the front greeted everyone they met behind. When they saw that there was an old man carrying a basket on his back to pick mushrooms, a knight accompanying him showed a shocked expression.
"Old man, the refugees are coming! It's too dangerous to stay here! I'll take you away!" The knight rushed over, picked up the old man and put him on his horse, regardless of whether the old man reacted or not.
…
"Have everyone withdrawn outside the city?" Renault paced anxiously on the city wall, holding his sword.
"Sir, we are gathering the crowd! They must be soon!" A soldier came out.
"Almost? It's lucky that it was demolished by the refugees! Throw out everyone who can ride a horse in the city! Be sure to bring back all the people working and patrolling outside!" Renault slapped the city wall and roared.
"Yes..." The soldiers walked away quickly.
"Your Highness!" Renault noticed Roland behind him and bowed quickly.
"Don't worry, what's the situation? Are the residents safe?" Roland asked immediately.
"There are still some residents working outside, and I have dispatched all mobile forces to assist them." Renault said bravely.
"Also! Why are all of them traveling so far?" Roland's mentality suddenly exploded. He had nothing to do to measure the road, right?
"By the way, the reconnaissance team discovered that there are at least 5,000 refugees! They lack food and clothing and are skinny, but there are some imperial soldiers among them. It is reported that their clothes and armor are shabby, and their weapons are broken... they must have been used for many years. "Reno continued to share information.
"Are there really soldiers?" Roland was stunned for a moment. He could encounter such a big "Easter egg"... He should ask if there is a lottery ticket in China and place two bets quickly.
"Yes! There are a lot of rapid infantry! There should be other types of troops, but our people can only distinguish the rapid infantry because the distinctive infantry chain armor of the rapid soldiers is so easy to identify." Renault sighed. He told Roland the truth in one breath.
"Gan..." Roland suddenly breathed out fragrance, meaning there might be a bigger surprise waiting for him later?
"Are there any knights..." Roland suddenly said this.
"..." Renault and Roland stared at each other for a long time and were silent.
In the end, Renault couldn't help it anymore, and he said to Roland without hesitation: "Your Highness, I think as a knight you should have some confidence in your profession... What kind of knight can be reduced to wandering and begging with refugees... …”
Seeing that Renault's expression was getting weirder and weirder, Roland quickly explained, "Didn't I just say that in case... in case the family falls into trouble or something..."
Roland actually hopes that there will be some knights among them, which means that Roland can buy some knights for free. Rapid City, which does not have a serious knight training camp, cannot supplement Roland's knights. Except for Rohan and Gondor, there are knight training camps that can provide them. In addition to replenishing his own knights with fresh blood, there should be no organized knights in the entire Middle-earth. Roland's current knight system is twisted and unreasonable. There is no supplementary ability at all. He can only wait for God's conscience to wake up from ordinary people. , or the system opens its eyes to sign in and out. As for the system mall... Looking at the round wealth values at the end, Roland decisively closed the page and left.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly! Let us in!" Flying dust dispersed on the road, and a hurried-looking team rushed on the road towards the city gate.
"Open the city gate! It's our knight!" Seeing the knights arriving before anyone else, Renault shouted quickly downwards.
"It's like there's a dragon chasing them from behind." Roland curled his lips and said helplessly as he looked at the obviously frightened team.
…
"Boom!" The city gate closed with a bang, and the thick and heavy gate bolt was stuck tightly on it.
"There is no one left! We are the last... wave! The refugees are not far behind! God! They are so crazy!" The knight walked up panting and saluted everyone and reported.
"Okay, let's go down and rest!" Looking at the knight Roland, who was panting and sweating profusely, he waved his hand to indicate that he could rest.
…
"Buck up, they're here with bad intentions! Although they are our tribe, we can't take it lightly! If they attack the city... we will all be Lagrand's sinners!" Roland said solemnly, looking solemnly at everyone. A person who is present.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. They are our tribe after all, so they can't be too aggressive." Renault comforted them.
"I hope so..." Roland said sadly.
…
"Coming..." someone suddenly shouted.
A black "tide" surged quickly on the horizon, which could be described as a huge roar of people! The "tide of people" that instantly covered the ground shocked everyone.
"Oh my God!" Roland lost his voice.
"Dragon God!" Radil couldn't help but clenched the staff tightly.
"Oh my god..." Kasluo, who instantly opened his dragon eyes, could see more clearly than anyone else. In front of him was a row of... rapid infantry?
"Squat down! Defend! They are armed!" Kaslo waved his hand and hid behind the parapet.
Although the original green color of the broken linen robes can no longer be seen clearly, the broken chain armor and the same worn leather armor still indicate their identities...former Swift Infantry!
"Why didn't they raise our flag..." a soldier murmured.
"Maybe they are no longer the people we know..." Renault was stunned for a moment and said slowly.
