On the Seven Towers

In the civilian area of ​​Arano Town, the night is particularly restless today. Under the cold streets, there is always some power quietly surging there.

Many families did not go to bed as usual, and countless people whispered in the room, but all these unusual movements hidden in the shadows were not noticed by the Baron's Mansion.

In a slightly larger warehouse, nearly thirty people gathered together. Among them were people from the Tower of China like Wang Xiaofeng, Mareno, and Crete. There were also locals like Sova, Doris, Lina, and Dominic. People who were not very resolute and hesitant like Tuqin were excluded. This was a joint mobilization meeting of the backbones of the Mutual Aid Association and the Women's Association. So everyone in this room knew what to do today and was determined to do these things.

The so-called Mutual Aid Association and the Women's Association were two organizations established three weeks ago. The full name of the Mutual Aid Association is "Civilian Mutual Aid Association". In name, it allows people who join to help each other and solve life difficulties. In fact, the purpose is to fight for rights and interests from the nobles under the leadership of the Tower of China and to confront them politically and militarily.

This organization is divided into two levels. In addition to the mutual aid association itself, there are various mutual aid groups on the periphery. Only the active members selected from the mutual aid groups will be secretly absorbed into the mutual aid association. Although the mutual aid association was established a short time ago, it has been involved in more than a dozen cases of town guards oppressing civilians or merchants lowering the purchase price, but all these things appear in the guise of neighbors helping each other.

The people in the Baron's Mansion have inquired about the mutual aid groups, and there are also informants who are members of the mutual aid groups, but they have not touched the more core and more hidden mutual aid association. The baron knows that the local bumpkins are all in a group, but he thinks that this is just the Chinese's messing around and has not attracted much attention. In the baron's view, if the leader of this group of people is defeated, those timid untouchables will naturally return to their original state of being a mess.

As for the Women's Association, it is an organization that is parallel and intersecting with the Mutual Aid Association. The participants are naturally women, and the backbones are also members of the Mutual Aid Association. In this feudal society, the status of ordinary women is naturally not high. Even some members of the mutual aid association do not really have the concept of gender equality, so it is necessary to have an organization to guarantee the power of women to speak.

Before the meeting, Wang Xiaofeng said to Mareno: "Time is still too urgent. After all, the mutual aid association has been established for more than half a month, and it is not as well organized and effective as Montenegro. We can only do our best."

Mareno smiled and said: "There is nothing that can be prepared. Their task is just to make a fuss, and we still have the main task. Are you worried about your little widow?"

Wang Xiaofeng punched him, "What nonsense. Look, Sova is going to speak."

After a month of experience, Sova has become a young man who speaks clearly and acts bravely and decisively. The president of the mutual aid association is Chen Hansheng, who serves as the vice president. Now the president is in the baron's castle, and the work of the mutual aid association is naturally presided over by him.

Sova stood in the middle of the warehouse, and the light of the oil lamp illuminated half of his face, making him look particularly firm and powerful. He spoke in a sonorous voice, and everyone around him listened attentively: "Everyone knows the Baron's plan. He wants to take advantage of today's banquet to get rid of the president, and then let us return to the state of being exploited by him. We must not let him succeed in this matter. After the president came, he helped each of us, resisted the baron from collecting taxes indiscriminately, and prevented those nobles, guards and merchants from bullying us. He also made various products so that everyone has work to do and food to eat. You all remember the days more than a month ago, right? Does anyone want to go back?"

"No, of course not!" Everyone responded.

Sova waved his arms, his tone getting more and more excited: "Fortunately, the president also has his own plan. Tonight is like a fierce fight between a warrior and a tiger. Although we are not warriors, we can distract the tiger's attention and let the real warrior kill him. So, in the battle later, everyone must give their all! Whoever drags his feet or runs away will not have to stay in this town in the future."

"Got it!"

"Don't worry, Vice President, we are not cowards!"

"Very good, now we start to divide into groups, and in a while, the men among us will form a group of four and lead the people in the mutual aid group to go out to act." Sova turned to Doris, "You women's association people are responsible for the response. You have to prepare various materials in the warehouse so that those teams that have run out of materials can be replenished as soon as they come back."

"Understood!" Doris nodded, with a mixture of tension and excitement on her face.

"Father Dominic. You are the strongest warrior in our mutual aid association, except for the president. You are responsible for guarding the warehouse and protecting the companions of the women's association and the materials piled here."

"Hey, I knew you disliked my lameness and my inability to run fast." Dominic patted the long sword on his waist, "Don't worry. As long as I don't fall, they can't get in."

After saying this, Sova glanced at Wang Xiaofeng. The latter nodded and pulled open the oilcloth on the pile of goods behind him.

Crossbows, rockets, Molotov cocktails, torches, spears, and daggers.

Wang Xiaofeng pointed at these weapons and tools and said, "Everyone knows that our guards are the ones who are attacking the Baron's Mansion. Mayor Chen will be inside, and we will work together to break through the castle. However, we are few in number after all. If you can divert some of the guards and prevent them from gathering in one place, then it will be much easier for us to fight. These weapons are given to you for self-defense. If there is no way out, try not to contact the enemy. As long as you can keep leading the enemy to run, they will eventually be broken by us in waves, and we will be sure of this battle."

"Okay. Everyone move, the president is still waiting for us inside!"

——————————————

Leaving Mareno and Crete to act with the Mutual Aid Association, Wang Xiaofeng returned to the hotel by himself.

In the front yard of the hotel, the guards were ready. Everyone wore special leather armor uniforms, carrying rifles and air rifles, and equipped with long swords. The training uniforms brought from the original world had basically no protective effect in this era dominated by cold weapons. So now the combat uniforms have become this kind of enchanted leather armor that protects vital points. In addition to the escort team, members of other groups also lined up with air rifles on their backs and prepared. Due to the shortage of personnel, they would also serve as auxiliary combat forces to fight.

Two oxcarts covered with oilcloth were parked in the middle of the yard. Wang Xiaofeng stepped onto one of the oxcarts and said to the silent crowd: "Let's go!"
