Chapter 634 Recruitment (Sincere Thanks to the Leader, Circle Nine Thousand and Twelve)
The joy on the faces of the women present had completely disappeared. They looked at each other with anxiety and confusion. Odega emphasized again loudly: "Sit down, woman."
Soon, the panicked people separated according to his instructions. The men stood in a row, while the women sat side by side opposite them. The newlywed bride looked at her husband standing aside.
"We are recruiting militiamen today. The militiamen I took away last time will not be able to come back for the time being." Odega looked around at the people in his hometown and said in a serious tone, "I have to add some new recruits."
Everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts. They leaned out and looked at the conscript who was about to take away their relatives and loved ones again. Odega means the tip of a spear in Anglo-Saxon - and obviously others As the name suggests.
"You, you, you, and you," Odgar nodded several times at the men on the field and ordered loudly, "Go back and get your shield and spear."
The faces of the men in the field were full of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, but no one resisted and filed out, "You, sit down." Odegaard asked an elder with a white beard to sit back. The women on the other side looked at this scene anxiously. Their relatives or loved ones were called by name and were about to go to the battlefield. This trip would probably never come back, but there was nothing they could do.
"Those without weapons, as well as young men, will get new weapons later." He did not let go of the other young and strong men.
Æthelwulf stepped forward to protect his new son-in-law and asked the recruiting officer: "Why did you take them away? Why do you still recruit soldiers? The Easter Famine is coming, where are we going to get food?" Make it through?"
"If I don't take them away now, I'm afraid no one will survive until the time of starvation. Now sit down!" Odgar allowed himself to face Æthelwulf head-on, treating him as calmly as if he was stating a fact. After seeing the other party reluctantly walking away, Odega turned around helplessly and said to the newlyweds: "You two, go back first, there is still a while before departure."
The bride quickly stepped forward and led the groom out of the cabin at the back.
By delving into the mind of this recruiting officer who knew certain military information, Allen learned that the Normans were gathering on the other side of the sea, ready to attack England at any time, and that the new King Harold was building a defense line to protect his kingdom near the Isle of Wight— —According to the records in the history book when he went to Muggle school, in fact Harold should not be aware of the threat from the Vikings yet. After driving away his brother Tosti, he has been focusing on Due to the blatant actions of William, Duke of Normandy, he did not know that his brother had also reached an alliance with the Norwegians. The new king of England believed that his only goal was to repel the expected Norman invasion from across the sea.
Allen folded his arms in front of his chest. This recruiting officer named Odgar was not as ruthless as he showed. Odgar wanted to send his familiar neighborhood folks to the battlefield. This recruiting officer was just following orders. He He himself was quite helpless, and unlike ordinary ignorant farmers, Odega knew the name of the illegitimate duke. If their new king could not lead them to stop the Normans, the village of Crowhurst would be far away from the southern coast of England. Villages that are not too far away will probably cease to exist in this war.
As the people who went to get the weapons left, the room became less crowded. Allen, dressed in strange clothes for Muggles, appeared in front of Odgar. His expression became a little confused, and then he wanted to leave. He came to Alan to take a closer look, but the hunting dog next to him felt the breath of the wizard, and he was timid and wanted to retreat and refused to step forward.
"Humph, a foreigner." Odgar frowned and looked at Allen. He always felt that something was wrong with him. The elegant robe and staff were not something that an ordinary busker could afford. What he saw in front of him was He is not like a busker - he just wanted to question Allen, but under the influence of the confusion spell, he was in a trance. Before he could ask questions, these doubts disappeared from his mind under the influence of the spell.
Odgar's eyes, which ignored Allen, returned to sharpness. He looked around at the people in the room and suddenly shouted: "Where did Leofric go?" Before he could finish speaking, he immediately jumped out. He walked into the house and followed the signs.
The curly-haired little boy carrying the flower basket from before slipped quietly in front of Allen. Trembling, he raised his head, with a look of horror on his face, and asked Allen in a voice so small that it was almost inaudible: "Are you a raven?"
Allen smiled gently at the child: "Is it because of the raven feathers on my cloak?"
Then, Allen's lowered gaze collided with the child's pleading eyes. The child handed Allen a small wooden dagger hidden on his body, a few beautiful stones and a bit of bread that had been chewed, and asked for help. Said: "Please don't take them away."
"Who to take away?" Allen raised his eyebrows. He had already judged that this child should have some of the blood of the devil in the bottomless abyss. This was also the reason why Allen felt a little uncomfortable at first. As the devil likes order as much as he does Allen is quite repelled by the unpredictable chaotic atmosphere in the bottomless abyss - but even if the other party's special ability brought by the devil prevents Allen from detecting his thoughts through Legilimency, it also allows the little boy in front of him to Quickly getting rid of the effect of the confusion spell he cast, but Allen could also judge that the little boy in front of him was obviously not affected by the evil nature of his bloodline. At least his concerns for his "family" were sincere.
"My father, my sister and the others." Following the child's gaze, Allen saw the old farmer sitting on the other side who collected his gold coins.
"Little boy, you should ask the recruiting officer." Allen didn't know how to comfort the little boy in front of him. In fact, he was not very good at dealing with children. He didn't know whether the little boy knew that he and he The father and sister mentioned in his mouth were not related by blood. Allen could only take out a snack prepared by Hufflepuff from his backpack and stuff it into his little hand. He dealt with the situation in front of him and it had little to do with his mission. little boy.
Then Allen also walked out. He planned to follow this group of militiamen to the battlefield easily - even though he knew that the first stop they were going to was not actually the place where the first war started.
The little boy took the snack Alan gave him but did not eat it. He said to himself in a positive tone: "You are the raven."
Outside the wooden gate, Leofric jumped over the low wooden fence in the village and fled desperately into the forest. Odgar soon arrived in the forest, chasing after him quickly.
After running to a slightly flat and wide forest farm, UU read a book www. uukanshu.net Knowing that the other party had hidden his figure, Odega stopped and turned around to observe the surrounding environment. He shouted: "Leocliffe! Coward! Come out here."
"Odgar, I'm just a farmer." Leocliffe, who was hiding in the forest, couldn't help but retort stupidly.
"Now you are going to be a soldier." Odegaard kept talking to the other person, so as to judge the other person's location, he searched forward in the direction where the sound might come from.
"No, no, I don't want to be a soldier." Leocliffe refused.
"You have never joined my militia. If I had caught you last time, you would no longer be like this bear." Odgar found the general direction and wandered under the tree.
"Really? How do you say that?" Leocliffe was not as good at judging the location of the sound as Odegaard. He didn't even realize that the recruiting officer had arrived near him.
With a helpless tone, Odgar walked casually to a tree, stretched out his hand suddenly, and pulled Leocliffe down who was hiding in the tree and let him fall on the grass. : "Boy, I won't hold you accountable this time. Come back quickly - you have work to do this time."
