Chapter 635: War Preparation
"Us?" A group of old people were stunned. Could it be that Li Huailin wanted them to join the war?
"Of course, this is defending your land. Don't you think it's enough to stand behind and cheer?" Li Huailin said with a smile, "You have to figure it out, if you fail, you will lose everything. We just failed the mission. It’s only once, so you have to understand who the main body is, we are only helping you regain your land, helping you, you are the main body.”
"This..." Hearing this group of old people, they were a little at a loss, what they said seemed to make sense, but...
"He's right!" Mrs. Vesna said suddenly, "This village belongs to us, of course we took it back ourselves. Since the other party has no intention of returning it to us, we can only choose to fight."
"Fight, fight?" The old people looked around, "If this is the case, let's fight."
"Yes, let's fight!" Another old man said, "These guys have caused us so much trouble, we must teach them a lesson."
"Yes! Teach them a lesson!" The old people shouted together.
"Okay, since that's the case... cough cough cough... cough cough..." Mrs. Vesna just wanted to say a few words, and coughed loudly.
"Madam, Madam, go back to the house and rest first, I'll be in charge here." Henry De said immediately.
"Okay, little Henry, I'll sleep for a while, you take them to prepare for the battle, I cough...cough cough..." Mrs. Vesna probably was too tired, she just said a few words and then coughed loudly.
"Okay. I know, I know, you go back to the house first. I'll come here." Henry De quickly helped Mrs. Vesna back while talking. After a while, Henry De came out of the house and said to everyone: "Okay, since everyone is ready to fight, let's start preparing. The first thing is the weapons. Let's put the weapons first. Bring the weapons you can use at home."
"Okay!" The group of old people nodded, and then turned their heads and went home.
"Huilin. Is it all right? Such a group of old people really took them to fight?" Hongyue came over and asked.
"I can only think of this way. Otherwise, five of us will kill 3,000 people? Do you have this confidence?" Li Huailin asked.
"Alas..." Hongyue also had a headache. Although she really didn't want these old people to take action, the problem was that five people really couldn't beat 3,000 soldiers.
"Henry.
" Li Huailin waved to Henry De next to him and said, "I'll ask you a few questions. "
"What's the matter, Master Mercenary." Henry ran over immediately and asked.
"What's going on in this village? Why is the whole village full of old people, not even a young man can be found, and these old people seem to have been soldiers." Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, the mercenary has also noticed." Henry De said, "Our village was actually established by a deserter army before."
"Desert troops?" Hongyue and the others said in surprise.
"Yes. It's a bit embarrassing to say, but it happened a long time ago, and it doesn't matter if you talk about it now." Henry De said, "About 40 years ago, the empire and the demons fought. At that time, our The troops belong to the Fourth Infantry of the Second Imperial Army, and our captain is the former village chief, Lord Colin, who is also the husband of Mrs. Vesna."
"At that time, our troops received an order to fight the demons in the Sekaito area. The situation was relatively stalemate. We did not gain the upper hand and suffered a lot of losses, but we could barely hold on, but we fought and fought, and we agreed The reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, but the reinforcements of the Demon Race arrived, and soon the situation of the battle changed, our troops collapsed very quickly, and the captain took us and began to evacuate."
"Because we were angry that the reinforcements were not coming and many of our brothers died, we decided to leave the team as soon as our brains got hot. Of course, we couldn't go back to the original village, so we walked south all the way, and we established here. Under the leadership of the team leader, this village has also developed very well, as you can see, the village is now somewhat large, but because it is too far away from the big city, basically all the young people in the village have left here to go to the big cities, so now all that's left are some old folks."
"Didn't you tell your children what happened here?" Hongyue asked here.
"They are all busy. We discussed it and didn't want to disturb them." Henry said, "We can do this kind of thing ourselves."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded, "It's a good thing to be enlightened, but..."
Just as Li Huailin was about to say something, an old man here ran back very happily, still holding a spear in his hand.
"Henry, Henry...Look, look, I still have the spear I had back then, look..." The old man said happily, holding an old spear in his hand, probably forty years ago The goods are covered with rust.
"Do you still have it? But it's a little rusty, it should be usable after a little grinding." Henry De looked at it and said,
"Henry Henry, what do you think I found?" Another old man next to him happily came out with a bow and arrow, "Look, this thing is still there. I dug it out from under the bed, but there is a little..."
The old man here was just talking, and the bow and arrow broke with a "collapse" sound. After all, it was more than forty years ago. Can it be used?
"I, I'll fix it..." the old man said a little embarrassed.
Soon, all the villagers who went home to get their equipment came back, and a lot of "weapons" were piled up at the door of the village chief's house. Of course, seeing all these "weapons" is a headache.
After looking around for a while, the things that can be used directly are... four long knives, which were brought from the barracks. Because it is better to use mountains, they have been used by people, so they have not rusted. 8 pairs of bows and arrows, which are usually used for hunting in the mountains, can also be used. Six axes, which are usually used for cutting trees, and 3 unrusted spears, these are weapons that can be used for war, and the next things are... sickles, dung forks, kitchen knives, daggers, and sticks. Such things, you don’t need to fight these things on the battlefield, and you will die laughing with laughter.
"Okay, everything is here, let's divide it up a little bit." Henri De said, he picked up a long gun while talking, and padded it in his hand, his eyes seemed to be recalling the past Like life on the battlefield, "I'll just take this."
The one-armed Sadra picked up a machete and waved it slightly in his hand: "It's not bad, the basic feeling is still there."
A group of people started to take their own weapons, and soon the old people here stood in place holding harpoons and sickles, looking really imposing.
"Okay, this time we are defending our homeland, so everyone must go all out." Henry De shouted at everyone, "You know it too, they told us that they will give us an answer tomorrow , which means that they may call tomorrow, so time is urgent, everyone is now divided into two groups, half of the people will check the wall in the village to see if it needs to be repaired, and the other group will prepare some logistics first. The rest of the work is training, and everyone must take it seriously.”
"Yes!" The group of old people replied very seriously.
Soon the people in this village started to get busy, and these old men and women started to work, checking the fence here, and preparing things here, and those who had nothing to do practiced in the square. A few people saw a few straw and wooden stakes as targets on the square, and a few people were practicing stabbing there, and they looked decent. After all, everyone was a soldier, so I still remember these basic things. .
"Hey, Laffer, you see I hit it." An old man who was using a bow and arrow hit the target on the tree with an arrow, and he was very happy to brag to the people next to him.
"Really, what's going on, I can't even hit the target, teach me." The person next to him also said immediately.
"Look at this, your body should be tense, and this hand should be steady..." The old man here immediately began to teach.
"It's really good... It feels like everyone is working hard." Hongyue said, a few of them were standing at the door of the village chief's house, looking at the lively old people here, Hongyue said with a smile.
"Really?" The summoning Jade Emperor here frowned, then looked at Li Huailin who was speechless, "Huilin, what do you think?"
"What do you think?" Li Huailin asked back.
"I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell." The summoning Jade Emperor said.
"Heh... what's wrong? Please tell me what's right." Li Huailin said directly, "It seems that these people really haven't fought for a long time, and they are already used to living in peace. There is one most important thing , none of them remembered..."
"The most important thing?" Summoning the Jade Emperor asked.
"What you said is wrong is the current atmosphere. Look here, these old men think they are going there for a trip, and they are packing their bags. Look, everyone is smiling so happily..." Li Huailin said with a smile.
When Li Huailin said this, everyone realized that something was wrong. This scene really didn't look like preparing for a battle. It felt like they were preparing for camping.
"What should I do?" The summoning Jade Emperor here asked immediately.
"There are some things that you have to experience personally to remember, and it's useless for you to tell them now." Li Huailin said with a smile, "So we still..."
Just as he was talking, suddenly two old men ran over in a panic, shouting as they ran, "Henry, Henry, something is wrong. There is a team coming from the barracks."
"What?" Everyone tensed up immediately. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
