"Sit!" Catherine pointed to the chair in the room. "It's not a formal occasion now, don't be constrained."
When Ryan and others sat down, Catherine asked, "How is it going outside now? Where do the people pouring into the city live? Do they have food to eat?"
Lane explained with a bitter smile: "Catherine, I don't know. I went directly to General Jonas in the morning and returned after forming this team. These things should be asked of Luke or Orlando."
Catherine flicked her forehead a little and said with a smile: "Look, I really should." Catherine's lazy expression made all the men present jumped in their hearts, even if they were female Elena's heart also accelerated the beating frequency.
Catherine gently touched her forehead with her hair behind her ear, and then said to Ryan, "Do you know where Luke or Orlando is now?"
Ryan replied: "Luke and Orlando are arranging city defenses in the city wall area."
Catherine said: "Let's go now. If I can't take a look at it myself, I don't think I will be at ease."
Ryan persuaded: "It's getting late now. It's better to wait for tomorrow. Maybe after a while, Luke and they might come back, maybe."
"No!" Catherine shook her head firmly and said to Lane: "I must go now!"
"Okay!" Ryan saw that the persuasion was invalid, and he actually cared about the matter, so he agreed. Soon, Ryan and others were ready to travel. Catherine was accompanied by Farath and took a very ordinary carriage. Under the protection of hundreds of people, she went to the north wall of the imperial capital.
At this time, it was already evening. If it was usual, many people had already used up dinner, and then looking for a cool place to cool off. But now, the orc army has reached the periphery of the imperial capital, and empire officials have evacuated and other news spread throughout the imperial city This made the civilians who had no idea in their hearts even more uneasy. Many people even exaggerated their words deliberately when they spread these news, causing local panic in many parts of the city.
"Ryan!" Catherine lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned her head out and said to Ryan, "Where is it now?"
"The civilian area in the north of the city, it will take an hour to walk to the city wall."
"Stop!" Catherine gave the order suddenly, and after the carriage stopped, Catherine walked down with the help of Farass. Perhaps for the convenience of movement, Catherine did not wear those cumbersome royal costumes, but chose an ordinary robe.
"Come with me!" Catherine said lightly: "Go and see my people."
Ryan glanced at Flanner, beckoning him to arrange it as soon as possible, the latter nodded slightly, showing that he understood Ryan's intention, and quickly turned around to convey the order.
Catherine and Faras walked side by side in front, while Ryan and Ellendo followed closely behind them. A dozen agile soldiers such as Colin were dressed in linen mercenary decoration, far away Follow behind.
This is a civilian area in the north of Fernando City, accounting for one-fifteenth of the entire imperial capital, and is home to about 100,000 civilians. Most of the residents here find some work in the shops in those commercial areas, or serve as servants for those officials and nobles, and there are a small number of own shops. Of course, these shops are basically in this civilian area. The objects they serve are naturally the civilians here.
The street here is quite narrow compared to the commercial area. It is probably able to accommodate two horse-drawn carriages running side by side. The streets are lined with low-rise houses. Only at the intersection of the two streets, there are only a few of them. Big shop. The streets here are paved with the most common stone slabs, and they have been hardly repaired in 200 years, so the pavement is very uneven, and there is another taste when walking up. However, although it looks dilapidated, there is no on the ground and it was cleaned by people.
"Hey, have you heard?" About four or fifty people were on the street together. Among them was a man in a servant's clothes who said mysteriously, "The magic teleportation in the palace has been opened. By the way, the officials and the wealthy nobles have run away! "
"Is it true?" Asked a woman about 40 years old with a bucket waist.
"Of course!" The man in the servant's clothes looked disdainfully at the woman who caused the figure to be distorted because of hard work. "You don't ask me what I do! Don't forget, I'm a second-class mansion Chef! Today, Lord Earl, who is always known for his diet, never dine at all. I heard from the porter that Lord Earl rushed to the palace early in the morning. "
"Then they can't be said that they ran away?" Another old man in his fifties said: "Don't they go to the palace every day to fight?"
"Haha, you don't know this!" Another man in mercenary costume suddenly said: "I was originally hired as a guard by the man's house in the south of the city, but today I saw our own The lord Viscount brought her three women, and also brought a whole carriage of rare things, went to the palace. After hearing the coachman who came back later said, in the carriage, a petite lord of the Viscount wanted to bring more Something went away, but was severely scolded by the Viscount, saying that the quota of the teleportation array is limited. "
"You said that the orcs have broken through the fortress of Thor and come to the Imperial Capital. Why don't the adults think about how to run these green-skinned hybrids, but they all ran away? Can't the Emperor keep it? Then how can we Do? "A young man in the crowd suddenly asked.
Obviously, no one could answer this question. The man in the servant's clothes opened his mouth, but he seemed to have concerns and said nothing.
"Afraid of anything! Fight with those green-skinned bastards!" A strong and powerful man from Kong Wu squeezed into the crowd, shouting loudly: "Don't you sit at home and wait for death? Anyway, it will cost you a few . "
"You idiot, don't you know that an orc can fight five idiots like you?"
"You bastard, dare you scold me?"
"Okay, okay, don't be noisy!"
"Go back and pack up quickly, maybe we will have the opportunity to go with those noble officials."
"Damn, when will you owe me the money!"
"What time is this, are you still thinking about this?"
"If you don't pay it again, in case the orc enters the city and kills you, who am I looking for?"
""
These dozens of people became more and more chaotic, and someone hurried home. This seemed to be a signal. Soon, the group of people who had gathered around left one after another, with doubts and worries on their faces, telling their family members of the news they just did n’t know whether it was true or false. , Friends, and their family and friends will continue to spread after adding something they imagined, and a panic began to spread here.
Catherine, who was on the side, firmly grasped Farath's little hand. She turned around gracefully, looking at Ryan and Ellendo behind him palely, and said helplessly, "How could this be? I originally promised to open the teleportation array I do n’t want Luke to be disturbed by those nobles and officials, but now, the orc army has n’t seen it yet, but my people are in chaos first.

Everyone is silent. Obviously, this matter has exceeded some pre-conceptions, and it has become a little difficult to control.
"No, I can't go on like this!" Catherine's eyes showed a choice, she held her neck like a white swan, her eyes blurred and looked at the end of the street firmly: "Go, find Lu immediately K. We must immediately eliminate this panic among the people, otherwise we are fighting in the front and chaos in the back, so we do n’t have to fight this battle. "
Luke and Orlando were discussing something on the northern wall of the imperial capital.
"We are far more than orcs in number. If we recruit young and middle-aged soldiers in desperation, then we can definitely build more than 2 million troops," Luke said. "But this is absolutely not possible. We must leave enough people, otherwise even After defeating the orcs, we will also be unable to cultivate ourselves because of insufficient manpower, so that the empire will encounter a terrible famine next year. "
"I know!" Orlando nodded and said, "Up to now, I have assembled fifteen legions, a total of 800,000 soldiers. All my men, whether they are formal or trainee holy knights, have been spun off as officers. In addition, I will give you a total of 120,000 people from the first two reorganized legions, and they will be responsible for the transportation outside the Imperial City. "
"Are your battle plans ready?"
Orlando shook his head and said: "The defense plan of the imperial capital was actually formulated by the alchemist Jessie, one of the seven heroes, as soon as the imperial capital was built 200 years ago. As you have seen, it is a very detailed Plan, but our present situation is the last one in that plan, but I have been hesitating, because relying on these temporary patchworked civilians, it is impossible to block the orc's fierce offensive on the city walls. The height and thickness of the city walls are not as strong as Thor ’s fortress. More importantly, the entire city wall of the imperial city spreads for more than 100 kilometers. The orcs can choose any breakthrough, and if we want to defend, we must at least ensure that every meter of the city wall must be Stand on three people. According to this number, we will arrange 400,000 people on the city wall, which is more than one-third of our existing manpower. "
"Then shrink in the city!" Luke said in a light tone: "According to the last plan in Jessie's plan, only part of the army resisted on the wall, and the main force was placed in the city as much as possible Consume the power of the orc, and finally give the enemy a fatal blow with the elite 200,000 warriors. "
"But," Orlando said with an unbearable expression on his face: "As a result, the loss of civilians is too great."
The two were talking, and suddenly a herald rushed over and said aloud: "Master Luke, General Orlando, Her Majesty is here!"
