Chapter 210: Huiyao City's Attack Signal
Percy was feeling a bit bored now.
I could have fought hard beside Miss Larrel, but this lady really liked to hear about Lord Heuman's romantic stories.
This made Percy, who knew a little about the situation, feel like he didn't know whether to say anything or not.
So, the city guard resumed his old job in Nield - he joined the guard.
Due to the constant harassment from Shining City, patrols composed of halflings are wandering back and forth between Nield and Shining City.
Most of the guards were also transferred to the east side facing Huiyao City.
In order to avoid suspicion and to make himself less busy, Percy took the initiative to go to the west side to participate in the defense. Every day, he just watched the sunset and climbed the ladder.
For Percy, climbing up and down the ladder in Nield was better than doing nothing in the small town cabin.
He saw a party of halflings making their way down to the Nield, and among them were the two half-elf sisters who had come with Ser Awen.
Perhaps this is the magic of Nield.
Not to mention Larriel's First Investigation Team, even himself, a loyal city guard, was willing to serve as temporary guard for these miners and halflings.
He couldn't understand why a group of honest Nield people who dealt with pickaxes and dirty clothes all day long were labeled as rioters by the councilors of Shining City.
Maybe this is the usual tactic used by those old guys who play politics.
First, make some noise so that all the residents of Huiyao City will know the news;
Then they described the situation as the end of the world, and added some gossip to make people panic.
Finally, powerful members of parliament began to propose a full-scale attack in parliament.
Most of the time, the congressmen, who were already fed up or frightened by the previous gossip, simply clicked the confirmation button.
Maybe it will be the same this time, Percy thought to himself.
He felt that this political method of influencing decision-making by making up stories was extremely boring.
The Nield people are much more pure than those parliamentarians in Huiyao City.
They repeat the same routine of working, eating and spending time every day, and most of the conflicts and disputes can be perfectly resolved with just a word from Annie.
No wonder Lord Shuman is planning to turn the House of Representatives into a decoration. This highly efficient administrative structure is really enviable.
Percy smoothed the curly hair on his forehead towards the setting sun.
The sunset is so beautiful. There is no such a broad view in Huiyao City.
There's more below... huh?
Percy's expression became extremely serious. The halfling next to him seemed to have seen nothing and was still looking around.
The guard from Huiyao City turned his gaze back to the setting sun. He used his ability that had been hidden all along, and his pupils began to shrink towards the center.
That is……
"Pip! Go and tell Annie—
There is a large force in the west, with at least five hundred people!
Damn it! That's the flag of Brilliant City!
Those damn congressmen must have had the troops make a big detour and come up from behind us!"
……
"No! This is impossible!
Xiuman said that he would wait for the results of our investigation before deciding whether to send out troops..."
Larriel looked at the city guard in front of him, somewhat reluctant to believe the news he was saying.
“Miss Pastor, you take the politics of Brilliant City too lightly.
Lord Shuman is not the only one who can command the troops. This must be the work of those councillors, just like the small group of troops that harassed Nield before!"
Percy rushed back to the town and said to Larriel and Xiling beside him.
"I think I have to go and inform Annie, Miss Larrel, and Miss Xiling first, and you'd better find the others as soon as possible.
Nield is just a mine, and the halflings cannot resist an organized army."
After saying that, Percy rushed out of the cabin. He needed to find Annie as soon as possible to discuss the evacuation plan.
Although they had only been together for a few days, Percy still didn't want to see such a group of harmless humans and halflings fall to political conspiracy.
"Ms. Xiling, I'm sorry, I may not be able to continue chatting with you.
I think I need to go to the front line to see-
I am a priest of the Temple of Tyr, maybe the soldiers of Radiant City will listen to what I have to say..."
It was not clear how valuable Larriel's identity as a priest was, but Xiling was not confident in letting Ivan's childhood playmate face an entire army alone.
“Let me come along, Larrel.
If those soldiers don't intend to talk to you, I can still take you away with me.
You know, a druid is much better at running away than a priest."
The two women who had been chatting with Ivan for the whole afternoon smiled at each other and walked west from Larrel's cabin.
Just as the two of them left, Annie rushed over from the isolation ward with a group of combat professionals.
Alvin has already started treating the fifth patient, but I'm afraid he will need more time to treat the remaining dozens.
Annie didn't intend to disturb this person favored by God.
“The problems of Nield should be solved by the Nield people themselves.
Percy, you are a soldier of Radiant City..."
The halfling female looked at Percy, who had already put on his shield and hammer, and tried to persuade the Radiant City guard to go back.
“Knight Annie, my duty is to guard the citizens of Radiant City who have no power;
As far as I know, Nield is still part of Radiant City."
Without giving Annie a chance to continue speaking, Percy put on his helmet and stood with the other armed halflings.
In addition to Percy, the tall human, there were several miners who had just rushed over from their hospital beds or other places.
Several humans, a tall and burly orc, and an elven wizard as thin as a stalk.
"Mr. Leia? You don't have to..."
"Oh! Little Annie, an old monster told me before that Ivan will do something big in Huiyao City;
I don’t know if what the kid did now is big enough, but I think we shouldn’t let anyone disturb him at this time.
Besides, it's enough for him to have that short half-elf by his side, isn't it?"
Annie looked at the combat team assembled in front of her.
Originally there were only about forty combatants, but now the number has been squeezed to more than sixty due to some guys who are "not in the organization".
"Everyone, some of you are not from Nield, and some of you are not even professionals...
Nield is not a military fortress, and those soldiers can easily besiege us in the town.
I may not have time to persuade you to go back now, but please promise me one thing:
If a war really breaks out, please retreat immediately and help me evacuate the entire mining town!"
