Chapter 1349: Ruining the Family to Relieve Difficulties (Part 1)

Denni's words made the citizens under the platform in an uproar again.

Everyone asked Denni:

"Really?!"

"Are you really going to give us this money?"

"Are you really not cheating us?!"

......

Denni nodded to these questions from the citizens.

"That's right! This money is used to compensate for the losses you suffered last year!"

"Of course - only those who were cheated by those scums last year can get the money!"

Speaking of this, Denni paused.

Then, he changed to a higher tone:

"Everyone should know - the Britannia Empire has launched a full-scale war with our country!"

Deni suddenly talked about the current war situation in the Rolin Empire.

Everyone couldn't help but gradually quiet down.

"All the territory north of Orleans has fallen into the hands of the enemy!"

"Orleans - the land under our feet has become the front line of the battlefield!"

"In about 4 days! The three generals of the Britannia Empire will gather under the city of Orleans!"

"By then, we will face a full 150,000 enemy troops!"

"And including the troops led by me who have just entered Orleans, the defenders of Orleans are only over 20,000!"

"To be honest - we are in danger!"

"20,000 against 150,000, even with the support of the strong city of Orleans, the chances of winning will not be too high!"

The citizens of Orleans are actually very uneasy about the current tragic situation of the Rollin Empire.

After all, this is the city where they live that has become the front line of the battlefield.

Orleans has always been an inland city deep inland and close to the imperial capital of Tuli.

The citizens of Orleans, from the old man with white hair and beard to the ordinary children, have never experienced this kind of anxiety... the enemy is rushing towards this side, and Orleans is in danger of falling...

It is also the first time to smell such a strong smell of blood and fire in the air...

These days, the citizens of Orleans are actually suppressing the anxiety in each other's hearts...

And Deni's statement about the current war situation in the Rollin Empire just now has brought out all the anxiety suppressed in everyone's hearts.

Anyone with eyes can clearly perceive that the sense of anxiety and panic is constantly spreading among the crowd.

"If you want to defend Orleans, it is not enough to rely on the defending soldiers!"

Deni then shouted at this time.

"Therefore, I hope everyone can help us!"

"If you are able to go up to the city wall to help us defend the city, please go up to the city wall to help us! We will distribute full equipment to you!"

"If you know medical skills, please help treat our wounded!"

"Women, children, and the elderly can also come to help!"

"Women, children, and the elderly can help cook food, wash clothes, and take care of the wounded!"

"In short, we welcome everyone to help us defend the city!"

"I promise you with my reputation and my life that everyone who helps us defend the city can receive a considerable reward!"

"And this is the reward list!"

Deni waved to a guard next to him, and the guard immediately brought out a huge wooden board with dense words written on it.

"Just as it is written on this board! Those who take up weapons to help defend the city can receive the highest reward!"

"You can get different levels of rewards for doing different things!"

"If you unfortunately die in battle, you will also be allocated a full amount of pension!"

At this point, Deni paused.

He moved his eyes to look at the citizens of Orleans who were looking at him with different emotions.

Then he bowed deeply to the citizens.

"Please - give us a hand!"

......

......

"Coach Denis..."

After Denis came down from the platform and left the central square where the crowd had not yet dispersed,

Roche immediately went to meet him.

Just now, Roger had been standing outside the central square.

While commanding the soldiers to maintain order in the central square, he looked at Denis who was dragging his aging body to fight with others in order to regain the trust and support of the citizens of Orleans.

From the beginning, Denis had no intention of winning the fight he organized.

If the person who challenged Denis on stage was a master, it would be fine.

But if the person who challenged Denis on stage was a rookie, it would not matter.

No matter who his opponent would be, even if his opponent was a weak and vulnerable rookie, Denis would deliberately lose to him so that he could give him the agreed bonus.

The reason for doing this is to establish their credibility among the citizens of Orleans.

Let the citizens of Orleans know that this new army stationed in Orleans is not the kind of ** army last year, but a righteous army that is trustworthy and agrees to pay as much money as it wants.

Then, a large amount of money was given to compensate the citizens who suffered losses due to the ** army last year, further enhancing the trust of the citizens of Orleans in them.

Finally, the wooden board with the reward list written on it was taken out to encourage the citizens to help them defend the city.

The above is the strategy that Denis came up with and adopted in order to regain the trust of the citizens of Orleans.

Roche looked at Deni's chest with a complicated look in his eyes.

Denis naturally understood Roche's thoughts and laughed a few times.

"Don't worry, Roche."

Denis, whose voice was a little hoarse because he had shouted too much just now, rubbed his chest.

"Although the young man's fist hit my chest very hard just now, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. I can apply some medicine later."

"......Alas."

Roche sighed lightly.

"Coach Deni... why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself... I clearly told you last night that I can do this kind of thing for you..."

"Hahaha!"

Denis laughed a few more times.

"I have to do this kind of thing! No one else can do it!"

"After all, I am the commander-in-chief of this army."

"As the commander-in-chief, I must come out in person to show our sincerity."

"Don't feel guilty, Roger."

Denis comforted Roger, who felt guilty for having to watch him, an old man, fight against others and shout so many words.

"I asked you not to do it for me, and you also made a great contribution today. There are so many people gathered in the square. If it weren't for you leading the soldiers to maintain order, there might have been quite a lot of accidents."

Roche looked at Denis with guilt, sadness, admiration, and respect...

After sighing again, Roger raised his hands, held Denis's hands like old tree bark, and clenched them tightly.

"Commander Denis... Thank you for your sacrifice... It's great that we have a soldier like you in the Rollin Empire..."

The sacrifice Denis made was not just being punched and having his voice hoarse from shouting too much.

In order to gain the trust of the citizens and to defend Orleans, Denis even lost his home.
