It's such a pity that this king died so soon...he really died young.
"So, how many men are there in the shelter?"
"Ugh…Patch!"
Perhaps because counting the number of people was not General Edson's responsibility, he shouted out a person's name.
Then a young man, about thirty years old, ran over quickly, holding a feather pen and a small notebook in his hands.
"Yes, General!"
"How many men did you count in the shelter? Tell Her Highness Saint Princess."
“Ah, yes…”
At this time, Patch quickly picked up the small notebook in his hand and almost put it against his face.
It can be seen that his eyes should be quite powerful at close range.
"Let me see. According to statistics, there are 8251 children, 46522 women, 41552 adult men, 7111 men who are about to become adults, and 7000 people over the age of ."
After hearing his statistics, I suddenly realized that the gender ratio is actually quite good. Otherwise, there would really be an imbalance between men and women.
"How about hiring these men to serve as soldiers?"
Really, if these more than 50,000 men can be hired as soldiers, then there will be no problem in defending the last piece of territory of the Kingdom of Adra.
"Ha... Your Highness, do you mean compulsory conscription?"
At this time, General Edson couldn't help but touch his beard and asked.
"Well... but it doesn't have to be forced. We recruit soldiers to defend our country, not to let them die, so there should be a lot of volunteers."
"Ah, if it's possible, then Your Highness, I'll leave the recruitment to you, okay? I'm not very cultured, these are crude Chinese characters."
"Uh...ha."
When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment. Yes, it is true that most of the people in the army are military generals, and there are very few people who are both civil and military.
"Well... okay, I'll give it a try."
I had no choice but to take the blame since it was me who brought it up. Sigh… this burden is really heavy┭┮﹏┭┮woooo.
Chapter 53: My current status is greater than the authority of the king?
Although I said this, I still felt guilty.
Really, even though I am the Holy Princess of the Kingdom of Adra, but wanting to lead people to defend their homes and guide and persuade them, makes me feel... I don't know if I can do it well.
Because I feel that this is something a king should do, and it is not something that should be done by me, who is equal to the princess but not a member of the royal family of Adra.
Actually, I have considered letting Elena take on this important task.
It’s a pity that her sister and father both died in the disaster, and they probably haven’t recovered from the grief yet.
If we push all the important tasks onto her at this time, it would be too cruel for her.
Although she wore heart-locking glasses, she was forcing herself to hide her pain. Therefore, I was the only one with a status here...no one else was suitable for this position.
"Then, Your Highness, please follow me."
At this time, Lieutenant General Lance Oberent directly invited me to follow him.
"Ha...are we going now?"
When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, because I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"That's right. We don't know what these demon kings are thinking. Although they fired a magic cannon, they didn't continue to attack. Because of the current situation, we have to quickly gather our troops... This time, it really depends on you, Your Highness."
At this moment, I could see that Lieutenant General Lance Oberent looked embarrassed. Indeed, it was too much to ask an outsider like me to do something like rallying people's hearts.
"Okay, let's go."
Although I have no plan on how many people I can gather to serve as volunteers, I'll still give it a try.
Otherwise, when the Demon King's army of more than 200,000 troops begins a large-scale attack on the barrier of the Royal City Military Camp Training Center, everyone will be doomed.
In this way, we came to a remote big tree behind the royal city military camp training center, and then Lieutenant General Lance Oberent directly turned a relatively slender metal pillar placed there.
Then a piece of lawn near the big tree was removed, and a round hole like a manhole cover appeared.
Haha, this is so well hidden. No one would have thought that there would be a shelter hidden here.
And this round hole is quite deep. It is really a shelter that can accommodate 200,000 people. If it is not deep, it would be impossible to accommodate so many people.
Sure enough, a very convenient rope ladder was built here. If any enemies came, they could just cut it off, blocking their way forward. Moreover, it was quite humid in here. Even if the enemies threw oil and set fire, they would never be able to burn to the innermost part. Therefore, this shelter was indeed a refuge.
Just as we were about to go down, the bottom of the deep cave suddenly began to knock on rocks at different rhythms.
It seems like this is a secret code.
After hearing the secret signal, Lieutenant General Lance Oberent found a stone nearby and knocked it several times in a very rhythmic manner, responding to the secret signal below.
Perhaps, if the signal was wrong, the people below might directly cut the rope ladder and start to be on guard to deal with the enemy.
Because the depth is very deep, if you jump in directly, you will definitely fall hard.
Moreover, judging from the width, the Demon King's army can only be defeated one by one at most. Therefore, it is very simple to kill them one by one.
It took me more than three minutes to finally get down to the bottom of the rope ladder. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding it. The road in front of me was very, very long, and there were two huge pools of water around it that should be drinkable. It seemed that this was to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire.
Sure enough, this building is very, very well built, which makes me admire it very much.
After we got off the bus and walked for about ten minutes, we finally saw a crowd of people spreading blankets and sitting on a place that looked like a huge square to rest.
Fortunately, the people here are still in good spirits, and when they fled, they should have taken all the food stored in their homes.
That way, you won't be hungry even in this shelter.
At this time, we thought about walking towards the center of this large square.
In the center of the place there was a platform about one meter high. In the middle of the platform there was a bell as big as a washbasin. Lance Oberent then rang it with force.
The "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound is very crisp, but not particularly harsh.
However, this ringing sound seemed to be an absolute command. Even some middle-aged people who were snoring in their sleep would get up from the carpet after hearing the ringing sound, and then all gathered together.
Afterwards, large numbers of people poured in from the other entrances, and soon, this huge square was filled with hundreds of thousands of people.
"Residents of the Adra Kingdom, this is Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess of the Adra Kingdom. She has something to say to us. Please listen carefully."
At this time, Lieutenant General Lance Oberent spoke loudly in his loud voice.
"Since it's Her Highness Saint Ji..."
"Shengji, could it be the Saint of the Royal City?"
"Oh, great saint, what revelation are you going to give us?"
After saying that, everyone present couldn't help but kneel down on their knees and lowered their heads.
At this moment, Elena and Lila also climbed down from above and came to my side. Seeing the scene in front of me, they couldn't help but feel a little incredible.
"Elena... What exactly is the position of Saint Ji? Is it really a Saint Maiden?"
After Elena and Lila also went up on the stage like me, I quickly leaned close to Elena's ear and asked.
"Evril, don't you know how you became a saint?"
Even with the heart-locking glasses on, Elena asked back in surprise.
"Um...I don't know."
At this time, I nodded helplessly.
"The so-called Saint Ji is the saint who leads the world. To be precise... this position is even more powerful than the king."
"What? Greater than the authority of the king?!!!"
When I heard this, my eyes seemed to pop out of my head. I couldn't believe that I was holding such an important position.
"That's right. The Kingdom of Adra is now without a king, and I haven't declared myself the queen. In this case, Saint Ji will be the supreme ruler of this kingdom... Everything will be subject to your orders."
"I know this too. If you say that this is an order given to me by the great goddess, then no one will dare to refute you."
At this moment, Lila suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.
After hearing this, I understood that the king of the Kingdom of Adra was indeed very powerful. It was as if he had predicted his own death, which was why he disregarded the opposition of all his ministers and named me the Holy Princess.
Indeed, Elena has no achievements. If she declares herself queen, her foundation will definitely be unstable. There will be villains who will interfere and overthrow her. Not only will Elena lose her throne, but her life as well.
In this case, my responsibility is really heavy.
Alas, it seems that I am now trapped in this bottomless abyss, and I am sinking deeper and deeper.
Chapter 54: An impromptu speech
In that case, I am "honored" to take on this great position of Saint Princess, which is not even glorious enough for a king.
But at this moment my mind is full of random thoughts and I can't think of any lines. How should I face these hundreds of thousands of people from the Kingdom of Adra?
Alas, if I had known this would be the outcome, I would have refused to be a saint no matter what, because the responsibility was simply too great.
"Your Highness, please begin your speech."
At this time, Lieutenant General Lance Oberent also placed his palm on his chest and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Naturally, Lila and Elena also knelt down on one knee.
Good man, a position that can make the future queen of the Kingdom of Adra kneel down, this is really too surprising to me...
Sigh, since I have been banned from this profession and everyone has knelt down before me, how can I save my face if I say nothing...
"OK……"
At this moment, I swallowed my saliva, and my heart was beating like a few deer. Really, I was so nervous now.
"Well... well, everyone knows that the Demon King's army is now invading our Kingdom of Adra, and this military training camp in the royal city is our last stronghold... and now the Demon King's army of more than 200,000 is at the gates of the city, and is about to launch an attack on us."
Well, it feels pretty good. I see that people are starting to react.
And I could see a lot of people starting to whisper to each other, and their faces seemed to be very ugly.
But what we want is an effect.
"And now, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in our entire training camp. This is a ten-fold difference. Really, although I don't want to say it, if the demon army attacks here, we will be defeated in a few days."
Although I don't know how many days I can hold out, I know it's only a matter of time before I'm breached.
"Although there are not many soldiers, we have more people. Why don't we fight them? It is better to live a miserable life than to die. Am I right, my friends from the Kingdom of Adra?"
At this moment, for some reason, a young man suddenly raised his body and shouted loudly.
"Yes, rather than sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to pave a way for the future."
"This last line of defense has been breached, so we'll all die. I'd rather die in battle than wait here to die!"
At this moment, the entire square exploded in an instant. Yes, everyone's determination seemed very firm, because they knew that if they stayed here, they would die sooner or later. If they tried their best, there might be a possibility of survival.
If we can win this battle against the enemy and severely damage the Demon King's army and drive them out of here, then rebuilding the capital and residential areas of the Kingdom of Adra will be just around the corner.
Because, the largest force is actually targeting the Country of the Beginning. I am sure that under the current circumstances, the Demon King's army will definitely not send the extra troops here.
Since the response is so intense, why don't I add some exaggeration to bring the atmosphere to a climax.
"War is cruel, and we are outnumbered. Many people may die in the battle. Therefore, I ask everyone to contribute their own efforts, and if you can't, please contribute some material resources. Let us overcome the difficulties together. For our great Kingdom of Adra and for the future of mankind, follow these monsters and fight!"
At this moment, I was speaking with great enthusiasm. I don't know why, but I became more and more excited as I spoke. Although I have never entered the workplace, I did give speeches when I was in high school.
Therefore, this faint memory directly became reality...
Haha...it feels really good.
"That's right, Her Highness Saint Ji is right, let's fight them!"
"Drive all these bastards out of our country!!!"
"Let them know that we humans are not easy to bully~!!!"
In an instant, the whole audience burst into cheers.
Really, just to have a chance to live, it's worth it even if you have to fight.
At this moment, I raised my arms high and quickly clenched my fists like the generals on TV.
