"Yes, young master, but no one has responded so far. The surrounding lords have...well, they have all retreated."
Butler Billy bowed.
Withdrew...
Did you run away?
Lin Ke understands in his heart that the relationship between lords is relatively independent. Helping you is a matter of affection, but not helping you is a duty.
If a nearby territory is invaded by a monster, Lin Ke will also think about how to take advantage and gain benefits instead of providing assistance, unless the relationship is particularly good.
As for the nobles who had a good relationship with Lin Ke, the nearest Earl of Acre was separated from them by a viscounty.
And the viscounts around...
You should know that two lords who are close to each other rarely have a good relationship.
A very small number of people have good relationships through marriage, trade, etc., and most of them have disputes because of interests.
Azan's relationship with the surrounding viscounts was average, and his relationship with Viscount Mantes, also known as Mantis, was the worst.
"How are the arrangements made by the civilians?" Lin Ke asked again.
"Arrangements are being made, there are too many people, young master." Butler Billy said with a headache: "We have only accepted tens of thousands of people now, but there may be hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Azan territory!"
Hundreds of thousands of people, who used to be the population of a small town, are now crowded into the Great Wall Fortress, and there is simply no room for it!
You must know that a city's supporting facilities need to be very complete, such as clean water resources, abundant and sufficient food, drainage and sewage, etc...
As for the fortress, it was only prepared for war from the beginning, and everything was kept simple.
Fortunately, the Great Wall Fortress stretches for thousands of miles, so there is enough space.
But after considering various conditions, Lin Ke discovered that he could only last three days here!
But when the wave of monsters comes, you might not be able to hold on for a whole day, so it's not very useful to think about this.
"How long will it take for the furthest batch of refugees to arrive?"
Lin Ke looked into the distance with worried eyes.
"Maybe another two hours."
Butler Billy sighed, and then hesitantly said: "Master...at the last moment, let Master Aof take you and leave, taking the two ladies with him."
Lin Ke shook his head slowly: "No need to talk about it, Uncle Billy, you go ahead and get ready for war in half an hour!"
After saying that, Lin Ke raised his head and shouted: "Teacher!"
"Boom!"
Aofu appeared: "What's wrong, Kobayashi?" It could be seen that Aofu was very worried at this time.
"Teacher, have you finished handling your plane?" Lin Ke asked about Auf's Thunder Power plane.
"Okay, if you search carefully for the legend, you may be able to find it, but in the plane of thunder power, even the legend cannot defeat me."
Aofu signaled that Lin could feel at ease.
Lin Ke nodded slowly and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, for involving you in Azan."
Before Aof met Lin Ke, he was a carefree and free 19th level strong man.
And now, it is a legend dragged down by the Azane family.
"Xiao Lin Ke, you are the only family I have." Aofu didn't say anything about disciples or not. He looked at Lin Ke more like a grandfather looking at his grandchildren.
Lin Xiao smiled.
Yeah, Off is his family.
However, his followers and people are all one family!
"Teacher, let everyone hear what I said."
Lin Ke took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and decided to say something before the battle.
Whether it's to boost morale or to express your emotions.
There is always something to say.
"Okay." Auf took out the Thunder Staff, used a legendary version of the amplification technique, and then nodded to Lin Ke.
Lin Ke first slowly closed his eyes and recalled everything in his past and present lives.
At a critical moment, civilians must either surrender or fight back!
What he hopes is that, no matter what, he has to die, and before he dies, he should die standing instead of living on his knees.
So he spoke.
"People, I...I am Linko Azane."
Lin Ke's voice sounded in every corner of the Great Wall Fortress.
Whether they were eating, crying or regretting, or praying or cursing, they all raised their heads.
"I am your lord, or future lord. Here, I need to say sorry to everyone."
As soon as this statement came out, all the villagers were surprised.
Lord apologizes?
This is not true in Nasung, at least the people in Azane have never heard of it.
Lord, the master of everything in the territory.
If I kill the people who belong to my territory, no one else can care about it. If I eat anything on my territory, no one else can care about it.
Because the Lord is everything.
But now, their benevolent young master Lin Ke has actually apologized to them, civilians whose status is even more humble than that of Cao Jie?
They didn't understand, but their attention was suddenly diverted.
"I have read many books, met many lords and nobles, and killed many monsters... And in one book, Emperor Wumian said that the human race will always stand firm!"
"I wonder why the human race will always remain standing? Why are other races likely to fall?"
"So I went to see, hear, feel, touch and think again."
"Then, I found out."
When Lin Ke said this, the "leader" bloodline in his mind was glowing slightly, releasing its power.
"Back then, all races lived on the earth. The Holy Life Alliance occupied 80% of the territory of Naseng. The ocean was the kingdom of mermaids, powerful and domineering dragons, tenacious mushroom people, crazy and cunning people.
Goblin, mysterious and strange enchantress..."
"In ancient times, humans were just one branch of the Holy Life Alliance, and they were the lowest branch."
"We endure the ridicule, exploitation, and trampling of other races, and we can't feel a little bit of light and warmth."
At this point, the civilians of Azan have been taken over by the sense of oppression, and even a few Lords and pioneer knights were secretly frightened.
"However, the backbone of our human race is upright and straight! We, the human race, also have legends!"
"Back then, countless ancestors came and succeeded, forcibly cutting off a small territory from the Holy Life Alliance, which was smaller than the current Azan! They regarded this country named "Ultimate Black and Brilliant White" as the human race
The last hope!"
"In the anger of the Holy Life Alliance, our ancestors used their teeth as weapons, used their flesh and blood to piece together shields, and used their roars to form war songs!"
"If your legs are broken, tear them apart with your hands! If your hands are smashed, bite them with your teeth! If there is nothing left, the ancestors can still disgust the enemy with their spit!"
"Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!"
Lin Ke's voice was sonorous and powerful, which gradually attracted something more in the eyes of the civilians:
"They want to kill us, steal our wealth, and insult our wives and children, so we will stab them through the body!"
"Since ancient times, our human race has survived in Nasenge, not by sharp claws or hard skin!"
"What we rely on is wisdom, knowledge, and inheritance! It's kindness, compassion, unity, and sacrifice! It's also the courage to risk everything, the will to not be afraid of difficulties and death!"
Having said this, Lin Ke paused, and then said word by word again:
"I, Linko Azane, your lord..."
"I will definitely lead the charge!"
I've been staying up late every day coding for the past few days. I can't stand it anymore. Let's see how many more days I can add. I don't want my book friends to be disappointed...
Also, can you give some to those who have monthly passes? I love you!
