The next day, George, accompanied by Arthur, Caterina, Mrs. Lily and Little Liqi, went to the temporary military registration office at No. 11 Claremont Road. Unlike yesterday, there were many people standing here today holding registration forms.
People of all ages lined up. City Lord Edwards has always been a good city owner who considers the residents. What's more, once Sunset Town is broken, the orcs can drive straight into Fort Rye Town, Ford Town south of Brighton City, and further up to Bu.
In Leiden City, if the orcs are not stopped outside Sunset Town, the safety of the residents of Brighton City will not be guaranteed. Therefore, Edwards has specially set up security measures for workers who temporarily put down their jobs to join the army, or for only children.
If you die in battle, your family will be compensated in cash and benefits, and if you return safely, you can return to work normally.
Because the beasts often invade, many children will choose to join the logistics force or the Boy Scouts for a period of time when they are studying. The logistics force is what George is joining now, while the Boy Scouts are specifically designed to train children's physical fitness.
These are all necessary for the situation. In other words, the residents queuing here basically have a certain degree of military literacy. Even if they are required to use weapons again after work, it is not a big problem. Therefore, many workers and ordinary gentlemen
, all chose to take off their suits and put on military uniforms. There were also many naturalized dwarves, orcs, elves, goblins, etc. who all chose to go to the front line for Brighton City.
George passed the physical examination easily. Among his peers, his physique can be described as terrifying. Soon he will follow some children under the age of sixteen and lead a corporal to the southern military base.
In the small town of Yburgh, George only had a small wooden box with him, which contained a few clothes he usually wore. The army would arrange the rest.
It's time to say goodbye now.
Everyone came outside, avoided the queue, and gathered at the corner of Clermont Road. The entrance to the North District was much busier today than yesterday, with many residents coming and going discussing the call order, and some people were collecting registration forms.
People moving towards the back of the queue.
Mrs. Lily kept holding George's hand and told her what to pay attention to after going to the army. She said it over and over again, until her eyes shone with tears, she turned back and hugged Catalina's neck, sobbing softly. Catalina comforted her.
Looking at Mrs. Lily, her eyes were always looking at George who was looking at her calmly. George had already finished speaking what he had to say yesterday. When it came time to actually leave, the two of them did not need to say anything more. In this way, the only thing that really needed to be said was goodbye.
George and Arthur.
George put his arms around Arthur, who was a head shorter than him, and gently patted Arthur's back. In this crowded street, the two brothers seemed to be in a world of nothingness.
"Arthur, although I don't know how long this war with the orcs will last, I will wait for you to come find me in the army."
"Of course, it's only four years. I will become stronger and stronger than you are now."
George held Arthur's shoulders, raised a smile, and said to Arthur in the voice of only two people, "Four years later, if you open my pillow, I will recommend you to a place." "What is that George?"
"
At the right time, most of the children who had completed the physical examination were able to assemble into a team. The leading corporal took the list to check the people who had joined the logistics unit this time, and shouted George's name loudly.
"Okay, I won't say more. You will know in four years. Don't open my pillow in advance. If I come back after the war and see that my pillow is broken, I will beat you. This is not the slapstick before.
.”
George, the corporal shouted George's name again, and George had no choice but to respond, and then said to everyone who had become a new family because of the law enforcement team, "Goodbye then, my family, I will come back when the war is over!"
"Ms. Lily and Catalina covered their faces and sobbed, and Li Qi burst into tears. Only Arthur waved apologetically to George and watched George stand in the logistics team.
Arthur hugged Mrs. Lily, held Little Liqi's hand, and nodded to Catalina, whose face was full of tears, "Let's go home."
...
The war did not end quickly as George said on the day he left. On the contrary, it was a protracted war that wore out the patience of human elves.
After the alliance of humans and elves deployed a large number of troops, the orcs did not collapse as expected. On the contrary, the two sides have been friction and collision in a small area, and neither one can cause huge damage to the other. This makes Brighton City's army
Fang had some doubts. In the previous small battles between orcs and humans, the orcs had never fought a protracted battle with humans, and they had no particularly obvious tactical intentions. They were more thoughtful in the three main battlefield towers in the center of the southern continent.
On the plains, they fought roundabout tactics with the human elves.
In the previous small battles, Brighton City did not require substantial support from the Human Alliance. Only some war supervisors from the Eastern Continent were doing the work of communicating with the other four major human cities in the Eastern Continent. Edwards received the message from the chiefs.
After hearing the news, he took the initiative to contact the Human Alliance for the first time and requested support. That is to say, he sent several generals who were originally subordinates of Admiral Horton. He also called back the only general in the southern continent and contacted the allied elves of the southern continent.
.
But even so, the absolute advantage that humans had previously occupied no longer existed. Fortunately, Edwards had been committed to stabilizing the situation and kept the battlefield near the Tali Plain, that is, around the town of Sunset.
In this way, the residents of Brighton City, except for those who have joined the frontline military team, the factories are still running, but there are many fewer workers, the finance is also operating, but there are many fewer staff, and the schools are also open normally.
, except for the ban on residents of Brighton City from going to several small towns south of the town of Ryeburg, the impact of this war is minimal. This is really unlike the style of the orcs in the past!
In the Military Department in Walls Manor in the North District of Brighton City, Edwards looked at the small flags symbolizing the military locations of the enemy and ourselves placed in front of him and fell into deep thought. In the Military Department, there were also General Horton and his subordinate generals.
And the noble Duke Jamis. Although Edwards's title is not as high as the two in terms of title, at present, the highest commander and the highest power in Brighton City is Edwards.
"Dear gentlemen, do you feel that the orcs seem to be using military acumen that we cannot imagine to fight against us?" Edwards adjusted the lenses in his eye sockets to prevent the hanging chain from falling on the war analysis table.
Holden looked at the important military points of the Human Elf Alliance, which were surrounded by orcs, or looked at each other in pairs. "What the city lord is saying is that there are forces behind the other side that we don't know about to provide help?"
"It's also possible that the stupid orcs turned out to be military geniuses who can use their brains."
"How about using the law enforcement team's relic of Gaia?"
"That's the goddess Gaia, Mr. Admiral, but I agree with you. What about you, Mr. Jamis?"
Jamis touched the curving beard on his face. At this time, a duke could not give good military advice, but Edwards respected Jamis' identity, so he asked casually.
"The city lord and the general can make the decision. I am just a businessman and politician, not a very good military strategist."
"With Mr. Jamis's affirmation, we will definitely defeat the orcs' alliance. No matter what they want to do, it is not a good thing for the orcs to unite."
Edwards used his arm to push down a large flag symbolizing the orcs, "Teach these brainless creatures a lesson and see who is the master of the Southern Continent."
