Rise In Calradia - Chapter 396

The sound of alarm bells resounded throughout the city, and the citizens of Jalkara opened their doors and windows to look outside. They saw cavalrymen with the king’s flag passing through the streets, and the horns in their hands sounded from time to time. This was not a child or a child. A drunkard’s mischief, but a scene that only occurs when the king himself gives an order. The sound of the horn only represented an order: “People of Rhodok, it is time to assemble!”

The militias have not left the land since the time of Rhodok independence. At that time, the Rhodoks faced an enemy so powerful that they suffocated. Not only did the Swadians have a strong cavalry force, but the northern nobles also controlled the most fertile land and The best vineyards, and the native Rhodoks are nothing more than lazy southern paupers to the powerful, not giving any thought to why their situation has become what they are, just constantly insulting and exploiting , The Rhodoks have only two uses in their eyes, as unqualified farmers and barely passable army bowmen. The Rhodoks lived in this situation for generations, and finally, unable to bear it, they raised their spears and stabbed the horses of the northern knights. It was a difficult war at that time, the Rhodok population was not even more than half of what it is now, and everyone had to take up arms to fight for freedom. The militiamen guarded their homes and followed their leaders to fight against oppression. With the struggle, the now independent Rhodok kingdom was formed.

Because of the pressure of the northern enemy, the peasants and city citizens of Rhodok never put down their weapons, and the militia system was written into the law, and all men of school age were required to bring their own weapons and armor according to their wealth in case of emergency. From the mountain people between the mountains to the wealthy citizens of the big cities, whenever the city’s alarm bell rings and the horn of war is sounded, they will immediately arm themselves and fight to surround their homes and freedom.

Perhaps King Griffith’s reputation in the country is now not as good as before, but the city council and citizens of Jerkara are still standing firmly on this side. When people confirm that the bell of war is real, the citizens dress up. I have stored it in my home for several years or even decades, and it may be the armor that has been passed down from generations. Pick up the long guns and short weapons that have been carefully maintained, give my family a hug, and then quickly go to the sergeant in my block, he will be in charge Organize city militia units and give them tasks.

In less than half an hour, the pedestrians and hawkers who used to walk through the streets and alleys disappeared. All the men who could go to war were mobilized by themselves. They formed small teams based on family or friends and neighbors. Long queues formed on the road to the sergeant’s location. In today’s cities, those men who haven’t taken up arms and are ready to fight are either too old or too young to fight, or disabled to fight, or have more important responsibilities than fighting, such as those bakers, gone They worked by the oven, and the people of the city had to drink batter and oatmeal all the time during the war.

And at the highest point of the city of Jerkala, on the tower of the palace overlooking the whole city, the leader of the Rhodoks, the honorable King Griffith, is watching this together with his capable assistant and vassal. everything.

“Look at the crowded streets, there are obviously many people willing to fight for me.” The king pointed to the crowded streets and said to Earl Tubiton happily.

“Indeed, Your Majesty, as far as my eyes can see, there are 2,000 or more militiamen ready to join you in the fight against the rebels in the streets of this city alone.” Earl Tubiton praised honestly. .

“Ah, Tubiton, your judgment is very accurate. When we counted the losses after the earthquake, we also calculated the number of militia we can mobilize now. There are more than 10,000 people living in Jerkara, and two of them are Three hundred and thirty people can be directly involved in militia operations. Of course, if we relax the standard, there can be hundreds more. These loyal warriors have been defending their homeland while also providing me with their military service, They are honorable, and at this time of crisis, I’m glad they chose to be on my side, risking their lives for a Rhodok civil war full of sorrow.” The king sighed, his words unintelligible. Happy or sad. “I need their strength, but I know very well that every Jerkhara militia’s fall makes us less powerful now. Lord…why should we prove ourselves worthy in cannibalism On that throne? They could have put down their weapons and admitted it all, united under me, and sooner or later we’ll have a chance to get back what we’ve lost, instead of fighting each other like this and letting that mercenary chief and the old Swadia Dogs watch jokes.”

“At least we have enough strength to deter them now, Your Majesty. When the militia is assembled, we will have an absolute advantage in terms of our existing troops.” Tubiton squeezed his chin and roughly calculated. : “It has been a long time since the fort of Eples has experienced a conflict of war, but it has given us a long time to recuperate, and I will bring you a thousand soldiers, half with guns and half with crossbows. The lords around Jerkara We are still loyal to you, I think if it goes well, they can also gather about 500 militiamen and a small number of soldiers for you~www.mtlnovel.com~ If we arrive in time and the rebels do not attack, there should be hundreds on the border. Soldiers are guarding there and we can put them directly into our forces. Unfortunately we are short on time, otherwise Aaron would have sent a sizable reinforcement, but we can’t count on them now. But anyway, We are all on the better side, and from the information we’ve got, the victory will be ours. The Earl of Tubbiton tries to use his advantage to cheer up his king.

“I also understand this, but we can’t mobilize all the troops. Don’t forget that in addition to those rebels, there is a greedy wild dog lying on the side waiting for us to bleed. Von Byron’s strength cannot be underestimated, we must stay Get enough defenders to make sure the city doesn’t get lost in confusion after the battle we’ve worked so hard to win.”

The king was a little worried that Byron would take advantage of this to backstab, which was very consistent with his usual style. Then the two discussed it, but after a while, a messenger hurried up and handed a letter. And after reading the letter, King Griffith’s brows tensed again.
