From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 54
After waving his hand to let the soldiers take down the nearly fainted refugee, a serious look appeared on Ryan's face for the first time.

The area of ​​the Celtic Territory is larger than that of the Karna Territory, with a population of about 4 to [-] people. Whether it is the army, weapons, or the strength of the city wall, it is above Doman City.

But it was such a city that declared the city broken without even holding on for a day. The lord could only hide in the castle, waiting for the orcs to retreat.

"After this battle, the Yaqi family may be seriously injured in the future." Ryan said with a little emotion, and now the pressure is on his side, and the distance between the two territories is less than a hundred miles.

Counting the time for the orcs to rest and hurry, the time left for Ryan and the others is at most three days. If the opponent chooses to attack, it may take more than one day for them to come to the city.

He immediately withdrew the civilian workers who were working in the field, and then sent out all the scout teams along the reserved passage to investigate the enemy's situation.

There was a return soon. A large group of refugees were rushing to Doman City. The team was scattered and continuous, and the visual estimate was thousands of people.

So there was a question in front of Ryan, should he choose to reject these refugees, or take them into the city?

Without much hesitation, Ryan chose the second option. First, there is a real lack of population in the Karna Territory. This will be a large batch of fresh blood. The food in the city is barely enough, but the housing is in short supply.

Housing is being built quickly, and precious population cannot be given up for this reason.

Moreover, if they were left alone, they would almost trample half of the traps Ryan had prepared for the orcs outside the city walls. By then, not only would they be infamous, but they would also expose and consume their defensive weapons.

So under the surveillance of the scouts, Ryan sent a small team of soldiers to take the refugees into the city. Although the race characteristics of humans and orcs are obvious, it does not rule out that some people want to play Infernal Affairs. To be on the safe side, Ryan directly drew a piece away from the city wall area, and monitor them centrally.

During this period, he also learned more complete information from these refugees. The more complete the information was, the harder Ryan's heart sank.

"An orc shaman, a chief who can kill high-level knights, and nearly a thousand orcs after the war, is really a huge force... It would be great if Teacher Sterling was here..."

Ryan sighed slightly in his heart, high-end combat power, what his side lacks most is high-end combat power, if Sterling is there, at least someone can block the orc chief.

From a certain point of view, communication elements, shamans who believe in beast gods are more terrifying than magicians, and a shaman can dominate the outcome of a small-scale battle.

"It's not enough, these preparations are far from enough!" He secretly punched the female wall a few times and murmured in a low voice.

After returning to the castle, Ryan announced an order, announcing that young and strong people would be recruited on a large scale to participate in the defense of the city. Except for all hunters and military-trained leaders who had to go up the city wall, Ryan did not expect them to fight the orcs.

It only needs them to carry the defense equipment, cook, boil the golden juice and so on. At this point, Ryan can't let his heart soften.

A series of recruiting orders were issued from his hand, and Doman City began to rotate slowly like a rusty machine.

Ryan waved his hand and announced again that as long as he participated in the defense of the city, the militiamen would give out [-] silver delores to each person immediately, and the rest of the people would also be rewarded with varying amounts of coins.

At this time, no matter what you say, there is no real money to be effective.Sure enough, after the coins were distributed, the whole city was praising Ryan's name, and the morale, which had been somewhat low because of the refugees, climbed to the top again.

Seeing that the morale was almost boosted, Ryan held a swearing-in meeting in full swing. In the square in the city, Ryan was dressed in military uniform, looking at the leaders and refugees gathered in the city, he said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the horn of the orc attack has sounded, and the iron hooves of the devil are about to set foot on our homeland.

If you don't want to be a refugee, be eaten by orcs, turn into a cold corpse...

Instead, if you want to keep everything you have, please pick up your hunting bow and spear, pick up everything you can use to fight, and keep those dirty and brutal orcs out of the city walls!
And, as the Lord of Kanna, I promise you that anyone who participates in the defense of the city will be exempted from corvee service for the next three years!

The war dead receive pensions, the disabled receive subsidies, and the living will live a better life! "

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent. If other lords had said these words, they would have scoffed at them, and even laughed secretly in their hearts.

However, Ryan has established basic trust in their hearts during this time, at least everything he said has been fulfilled.

The first to respond to Ryan was the militia battalion. They had just received the wartime subsidy from Ryan, and now they have wholeheartedly supported Ryan.

Then there are the peasants who participated in the construction of the house. During this period of time, they have obtained sufficient food, and some have been allocated wooden houses that can accommodate them. Ryan has already left a mark on their hearts.

What surprised Ryan was that the refugees responded immediately, and their will to fight the orcs was even stronger.

Because they lost their homes and relatives... Ryan's words deeply touched them, and they wanted to fight the orcs to the death!
For a moment, the hearts of the people in the whole city were unprecedentedly united. Seeing the dark crowd all calling Ryan's name, De Lai and others could not help but calm down the anxiety in their hearts.

A sense of enlightenment rose in Allen's heart. Perhaps this was the "people's heart" that Ryan said.

Drey also knew why Ryan spent money and food on these civilians. He was waiting for this moment. Although the sense of trust between the lord and the people is still weak, it will become extremely strong sooner or later!

Ryan looked at the crowd below with high morale, and there was a slight wave in his heart. After winning this battle, he will truly have the foundation of standing in this world, and the blueprint in his heart can be turned into reality step by step.

If you lose... No, this battle can only be won and not lost!
His gaze became sharper, and his far-reaching gaze seemed to pass through the crowd, houses, and city walls... he saw the ghost-like Celtic collar and those hateful green-skinned creatures.

If he loses, Kana will become like that too.

"This battle must be won!" Ryan raised his arms and shouted, his voice was deafening like spring thunder.

"We must win! We must win!"

"Definitely!"

……

The crowd also shouted loudly, and the gathered voice dispersed the clouds, overwhelmed the cold wind, and resounded in every corner of Doman City. At this moment, even the most cowardly people will gain a little courage out of thin air!
