"Order from the Royal Palace! Fight for honor and land! 》
Ms. Irene Campbell will lead 50,000 "Northern Rescue Army" to rescue the Dusk Province!
Yesterday, Archduke Edward Campbell issued an emergency mobilization order, announcing the establishment of a 50,000-strong force called the Northern Rescue Army, aiming to go to the Twilight Province, a royal territory that is in dire straits, and bring Campbell's order and glory to our neighbors who are drowning in nightmares!
As we all know, the tragic situation in the Dusk Province is no longer a secret!
Continuous famine gave birth to the fire of rebellion. The rebels who were bewitched by hell burned villages and plundered food. They were like a plague raging in this land, displacing a large number of people of the Kingdom of Lane!
The Lane nobles, who were supposed to protect the country and the people, have abandoned their sacred feudal obligations and fled, or huddled in the castle to protect themselves, allowing their people to die in despair!
"How can we just sit back and watch when our neighbor's house is on fire?"
His Majesty the Grand Duke declared in his oral message, "We and the people of the Twilight Province are all subjects of the Kingdom. Campbell's prosperity cannot be based on the suffering of our compatriots!"
As early as two years ago, a large number of refugees flooded into our city across the valley plains. Although we generously accepted them, using teacups to catch water to put out the burning carriage was not an option after all!
For our kingdom and for ourselves! We must send our brave troops to solve this trouble once and for all!
· During this expedition, His Majesty the Grand Duke has appointed Ms. Eileen Campbell, who is loved by the people, as the supreme commander of the Northern Rescue Army!
Her kindness will be like the warm wind that blows into the bitter cold land, the sun that shines in the sunken land, bringing comfort to the suffering, and using the sharp sword in her hand to send the troublemakers to the gallows!
It is worth mentioning that the core of this mobilization is not only to fulfill our obligations to the Kingdom, but also to provide every Campbell person with a golden opportunity!
The Grand Duke’s oral message clearly stated that the chaos in the Twilight Province was caused by the negligence of the nobles in the province, big and small, and they were no longer worthy of being vassals of King Theoden. The governor of the province appointed by the king, Baron Ellaric, also believed so!
According to the request of the provincial governor, all the lands liberated by Campbell's reinforcements will be governed by the Principality of Campbell in the name of trusteeship!
Our respected His Majesty the Grand Duke hereby promises that all those who have made meritorious service in countering the rebellion, regardless of status and class, will have the opportunity to receive medals from His Majesty the Grand Duke, and thereby obtain a piece of land of their own in the Twilight Province!
What a generous decision, a new era is beckoning to us!
Hand-working farmers will have the opportunity to become manor owners with their own farms, and brave citizens will have the opportunity to become knights who open up territories!
The moment to change our destiny is here!
Go, people of Campbell!
Your sweat and courage will be transformed into wealth and glory that your descendants can inherit in this glorious march!
Use the fire and sword in your hands to win a new future for yourself and for our principality!
The glory will eventually belong to us!
Son of victory too! !
"Thunder City Daily, Journal"
1
Just as Duke Edward had expected, on the day the Thunder City newspaper published this bombshell news, the entire Thunder County and even the entire principality were boiling!
In the new city area on the outskirts of Thunder City, among the low shanties is a soup kitchen set up by Her Highness Irene Campbell.
· A group of people from the clothing store are waiting in line here to receive their family’s rations.
Although the prosperity of industry has created a large number of jobs, not everyone can successfully find a suitable job.
This is just like bread.
When there is more bread on the market, bread becomes cheaper. And when there are more people, people will naturally become cheaper.
However, people are different from bread.
There is no pursuit of bread, and there is no need to worry about tomorrow. If it cannot be sold, it will become moldy and rotten at best. However, humans are creatures that live for tomorrow. Even if the life in front of them is hopeless, they still have to find a way forward for tomorrow.
The unemployed refugees have become accustomed to waiting near soup kitchens to see which factories or docks need casual workers, so that they can take the opportunity to earn a few copper coins to buy clothes for their children, or go to a pub for a few drinks.
But today is different from the past.
·No one was waiting for a temporary worker, but they were waiting for a big job that lifted everyone's spirits.
I saw a young man wearing a felt hat nailing a newspaper to a wooden stake next to the soup kitchen.
A group of people gathered around and finally managed to find a half-literate guy who read the contents of the newspaper.
"Arch Duke Campbell decided to mobilize 50,000 levies and send troops to assist the Twilight Province——"
"Both nobles and commoners will have the opportunity to obtain a piece of land of their own?! Wait, I read that right, big Is His Majesty serious? ”
“It’s true, there’s a royal seal on it! I recognize this seal, it’s also on His Highness Irene’s flag!” Praise Erin! ! 》
There were excited voices in the crowd, and almost every face showed an expression of joy. For the first time, the light of hope ignited in the pupils dimmed by labor.
Land!
This word is like an addictive potion, catching everyone's eyeballs and heartbeats!
Especially for those serfs who lost their land, they were so eager to have a piece of land of their own!
That will mean that they no longer have to be hungry, they no longer have to drink watery porridge, and they no longer have to endure a harsh and stingy boss like Horace·
And most importantly, they no longer have to look helplessly at the thin faces of their wives and children!
As for fighting·——·
It is nothing to be afraid of.
The Campbells are a people sitting on a powder keg. They have been fighting the devil since they opened their eyes, sometimes in the farmland, sometimes in the labyrinth.
Especially those serfs who once served the lords. When the bell rings, they become soldiers, and everyone can use a musket!
They have even fought demons, so naturally they will not be afraid of fighting another group of farmers!
On the contrary, it is the refugees who have escaped from the Twilight Province, with a trace of cowardice remaining on their longing faces.
First of all, they have seen the terror of the Green Forest Army, and secondly, they actually have complicated feelings about going back to fight with their fellow villagers.
An honest man couldn't help swallowing and whispered in a low voice.
“But—people will die in war.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was drowned by the laughter.
"Haha! Man! Isn't this nonsense!"
A middle-aged man who hadn't shaved for a long time patted his shoulder hard, grinning and joking.
"Not to mention that you will die in a war, you may choke to death even if you drink water! If you are scared, you'd better go home to find your mother!"
Listening to the roar of laughter, the honest man blushed, and he hesitated for a long time before he could say a word.
"I'm not afraid of death! But I still have two sons and a daughter. What will they do if I die?"
The middle-aged man grinned, looked at the newspaper nailed to the wooden stake again, and said with bright eyes.
dedication for all soldiers who died in battle will be paid by the royal family, which is enough for your three children to live a good life for several years!'
Praise to Archduke Campbell!
If the reward of the land only made him excited, then this pension really made him determined!
If he could use these two taels of meat on his body to buy a bright future for the children, let them have money to go to school to study and write, and one day get out of this shabby slum, let alone die once, even if he was pulled up by the necromancer after death and died again, he would risk it!
His words resonated with many people, and the last flame of timidity was extinguished in the waves of voices.
"That's right, man!"
"Death is a matter of a moment, poverty is a matter of a lifetime!"
"Count me in!"
"For Campbell! For the kingdom!"
This was the first time that the poor people who were waiting in line for alms actually left their line before the big pot of porridge boiled.
They rushed to the recruitment point with enthusiasm, fearing that they would be late and all the 50,000 places would be snatched up.
When they arrived, they discovered that the people lined up were not just people with nothing like them, but also adventurers carrying swords, sailors wandering on the sea, citizens wearing collared shirts, and even knights and nobles who brought their own armor and horses.
The last time they united like this was when Demon King Dragon threatened to destroy Thunder City.
Looking at the long line of Campbell people lining up to save their brothers and sisters in Dusk Province, the ascetic monks passing by could not help but shed tears of emotion and send them devout prayers.
May the Holy Lord bless this group of devout people!
If Saint Sis was watching them, he might really be moved by their unity.
The hard-working and brave Campbell people have never been as loyal as they are today. It was not only the passing ascetics who felt incredible about this lively scene, but also the players who happened to be wandering around the suburbs of Thunder City to explore the map.
Since the launch of the "artificial human" character, the development team of "Calamity 0L" has gone through several rounds of optimization of the game content. Now the players "grown" from Gray Wind are no different from real people. Therefore, there have been many "artificial humans" in Thunder County.
As the loyal spies of the Demon King, they have always played the role of scouts, tirelessly conveying the current situation of Thunder City to the official website forum in order to attract people's attention.
Even to make it easier to move content, they even taught themselves the in-game Ostrian language!
It can be said to be quite serious!
It’s a pity that there are no eggs.
Zan is not that easy to deceive.
Because the map of "Catastrophe 0L" is getting bigger and bigger, the recent updates are getting further and further away from Thunder City. Now there are not many players staying in the original "Novice Village".
Especially those players in the t0 and t1 echelons who have already developed, either went to the wider Janna continent to play, or went to explore the "New Continent" that is said to be connected to the entrance to hell.
The former has lizardmen who do not discriminate against the undead, while the latter has a vast enough land that can be freely explored.
It is precisely because of this that Thunder City, the former novice village, seems to have become a thing of the past, fading out of the center of the players' attention. These players who stayed in Thunder City seem to have become lonely old people.
However, the situation today seems to be a little different. [One Punch, One Monster] This is the first time that I have seen the citizens of Lei Ming City who are crazy about stock trading participating in the war cause so enthusiastically.
"War mobilization? Holy shit, what are they trying to do? Are they going to fight the Demon King?" Looking at the long queue of people, [Punch a Baby Monster] couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly.
Hurry up!
his sword is thirsty!
【Master Perm King at the entrance of the village】walked to the notice board at the edge of the square, stared at the notice posted on it and touched his chin, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Arch Duke Campbell decided to send troops to support the good guys of Twilight Province. Is this a new event?"
As soon as they heard that there was a new event, the players gathered in front of the notice board became excited.
After a lot of effort and everyone talking in different directions, half of the translators finally came out and understood everything on the notice board.
It doesn't matter if this is understood, everyone can't help but shout "Fuck".
"Damn! The mission reward—a knighthood and land!?"
"Damn it! You get a pension if you die in battle?! What a good thing??"
Fighting for the Demon King is not so exciting!
As we all know, loyalty to the Demon King comes at a price. Unless it is a special in-game event, not only contribution points but also money will be deducted if you die!
Although the deducted coins are ghost coins, they are also earned by their hard work!
Seeing that the rewards were so generous, the onlookers could not help but show excited expressions.
[Punch a baby monster] Swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said eagerly.
"How about we join in and give it a try?"
These words immediately resonated with countless players. They have not done anything for too long!
This opportunity cannot be missed!
"Good idea!"
"Just give it a try! From today on, I am a Campbell native with upright roots!"
"Oh, oh, oh! For the Grand Duke! For His Royal Highness the Princess!"
“Damn it, you traitors, do you still remember that you are the Demon King’s lackeys? Wait, count me in!”
· Since there is no such thing as identity authentication in the Principality of Campbell, the non-commissioned officer in charge of recruiting did not carefully confirm their identity.
· He actually asked them to walk to the registration desk.
The recruiting officer in charge of registration was so busy that he didn't even raise his eyes when he saw someone coming and asked.
"Name! Specialty!"
"ID——cough! Weird!" [One punch, one baby monster] patted his chest and said in stumbling Imperial dialect, "Speciality, my specialty!"
The recruiter who was writing on the form couldn't stop himself and almost broke his quill.
What is a person’s specialty?
He raised his head in annoyance, trying to see which blind guy was causing trouble, but saw a 1.8-meter-tall strong man staring at him with bright eyes.
Compared with the malnourished mud-legged people around him, this guy simply stands out.
Strong, strong, and really long!
This is a good seedling to fill in the lines!
In Campbell's army, there is a special unit called grenadiers, and it is this kind of tall young man who is wanted.
They will brave the hail of bullets from friendly and enemy forces to advance, and at a distance of 60 steps, they will slam earthen jars filled with black powder into the enemy's phalanx!
The recruiter's eyes were so bright that they seemed to be shining, as if he had found a treasure. It was no wonder that he did not answer his questions honestly and wrote his name on the form with a smile on his face.
"Baby monster—isn't it? What a strange name, are you really a Campbell?"
"Me, me, me" [One punch for a baby monster] couldn't help but stutter. He was not yet proficient in Common Language. He had memorized the previous sentence in advance, but he couldn't even understand this sentence, so naturally he didn't know how to answer.
Just when he was about to break out in sweat, the recruiting officer seemed to be more anxious than him, and as if he was afraid that he would regret it, he grabbed his hand and pressed his fingerprint on the registration book.
"It doesn't matter, man, no matter where you are from before, no matter whether you can read or not, stutter or not, or have a good brain - from today on, you are a Campbell man! Congratulations, soldier! Take your military badge and clothes and report!"
The recruiter stood up, held his right hand, and patted his stocky shoulder hard.
Hmm?
Why does it feel a little soft?
Forget it, it’s not a big problem!
【One punch, one monster】 replied to the recruiter with a simple and honest smile, and just like that, he took the military badges and military uniforms handed over by the soldiers next to him and went to the nearby assembly point to report.
Behind him, the recruiting officer began to pull down a strong man again, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Me, me, me!"
"Name! Special—"
ID "Professional maintenance of nuclear submarines"! I'm the master of C. My specialty is single-handedly farming the wild boar forest, and I've never had a car roll over! T can also fight, bring your own milk bottle."
"Hey—listen, the name is——., Dragonfly, right? Very good, Dragonfly Private, from now on you are also a Campbell."
"Copy! Copy! Oh oh oh oh!”
"Fubo, right? Saint Sith finally has someone who can speak human language!"
The queue for recruitment is getting longer and longer.
And the most incredible thing is that the quality of this batch of conscripts is unexpectedly high. Not only are they tall and strong, but many of them are actually extraordinary beings with sub-class strength!
At first, the recruiting officer was a little confused. Why don't these people become adventurers if they are so awesome?
But soon, when a tall and thick man lost money from "land", the doubts in his heart were suddenly relieved.
Even people with disabilities who have brain problems dream of having a piece of land of their own in Meng.
Watching the team going to the new barracks, he was moved and silently prayed for Kantong Ersiguo in his heart.
Holy Sir, please do not blame your people for being selfish. Please let these stupid guys stay in Dusk Province forever and turn them into fertilizer on the war fan.
He really couldn't imagine that these guys, who all spoke unreasonably, would make meritorious deeds on the war fan, and even one day actually become a knight or even a baron.
If something like (Ya) really happens, he is not sure whether he will despair?
