"Sit down!" Catherine pointed to the chair in the room and said, "It's not a formal occasion, don't be restrained."

When Ryan and others sat down, Catherine asked, "How is it outside now? Where do the people who flooded into the city live? Do they have food to eat?"

Ryan explained with a wry smile: "Katherine, I don't know. I went directly to General Jonas in the morning and returned after forming the team. You should ask Luke or Orlando about these things."

Catherine lightly slapped her forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at me, you really deserve to be hit." Catherine's lazy look caused all the men present to jump in their hearts, even if they were all women. Farasi and Alina's heart beat faster than expected.

Catherine gently tucked the hair of her forehead behind her ear with her hand, and then said to Ryan, "Do you know where Luke or Orlando is now?"

Lane replied: "Luke and Orlando are setting up city defenses in the walled area."

Catherine said: "Let’s set off now. If I can’t see it with my own eyes, I don’t think I will be at ease."

Lane persuaded: "It's getting late now. Why don't you wait until tomorrow? Maybe Luke and the others will come back in a while."

"No!" Catherine shook her head firmly, and said to Ryan: "I must go now!"

"Well then!" Seeing that the persuasion had no effect, and that he himself was actually very concerned about this matter, he agreed. Soon, Ryan and the others were ready to travel. Catherine was accompanied by Farasi, got on a carriage with a very ordinary appearance, and under the protection of hundreds of people, marched towards the northern wall of the imperial capital.

At this time, it’s already evening. If it’s normal, many people have already run out of dinner and are looking for a cool place to cool off. But now, the orc army has reached the outskirts of the imperial capital, and the imperial officials have retreated. The spread everywhere in the city made civilians who had no bottom in their hearts even more worried. Many people even deliberately exaggerated the news when spreading these news, causing local panic in many places in the city.

"Lane!" Catherine opened the curtains of the carriage, poked 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 a sudden order. After the carriage stopped, Catherine walked down with the help of Farath. Perhaps for the sake of mobility, 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 and motioned to him to make arrangements. The latter nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Ryan's intentions, and quickly turned around to convey the order.

Catherine and Ferras walked in front side by side, while Ryan and Allendo followed them closely. Colin and a dozen other agile soldiers were dressed in linen mercenary decorations. Follow far behind.

This is the civilian area in the northern part of Fernando City. It occupies 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 districts, or serve as servants for the officials and nobles, and a few have their 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, and probably can accommodate two carriages running side by side. There are low houses on both sides of the street, and there are only a few where the two streets meet. Not a very big shop. The streets here are paved with the most common stone slabs. They have hardly been repaired in the past 200 years, so the roads are very uneven, and walking up there is a different way. But although it looks dilapidated, there is no **** on the ground and it has been cleaned up.

"Hey, have you heard?" About forty or fifty people gathered on the street. Among them was a man dressed in servant clothes pretending to be mysterious and said: "Magic teleportation in the palace The formation has been opened, and the officials and the wealthy nobles have all ran away!"

"Is it true?" asked a woman about forty years old with a bucket waist.

"Of course!" The man in servant clothes looked at the woman who was out of shape due to her hard work with a disdainful face and said: "Don't ask what I do! Don't forget, I am the mansion of Lord Earl. The second-class cook! Today, Lord Earl, who has always been known for his special diet, did not eat at all. I heard from the porter that Lord Earl rushed to the palace early in the morning."

"It can't be said that they ran away, right?" Another old man in his fifties said, "Didn't they go to the palace to fight every day?"

"Haha, you don't know about this!" Another man in mercenary costume suddenly said: "I was hired as a guard by the mansion of the Viscount Lord in the south of the city. Today I saw it with my own eyes. When we arrived, the Viscount Master took his three women and a whole carriage of rare things to the palace. I heard the coachman who came back later said that in the carriage, one of the Viscount Master’s favorites was still there. I wanted to bring a little more, but was scolded by the Viscount, saying that the number of places in the Teleportation Array is limited."

"You said that the orcs have breached the Thor Fortress and have come to the imperial capital. Why don't those adults think about how to fight off these **** green-skin bastards, but they all run away? Could it be that the emperor can't defend it? So what shall we do?" a young guy in the crowd suddenly asked.

Obviously no one could answer this question. The man in the servant's clothes opened his mouth, but seemed to have concerns and didn't say anything.

"What are you afraid of! The big deal is to fight with those green-skinned bastards!" A strong kongwu man squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Are you sitting at home and waiting for death? It’s a good deal."

"You fool, don't you know that one orc can beat five idiots like you?"

"You bastard, dare you scold me?"

"Okay, okay, stop making noise!"

"Hurry up and go back and pack things, maybe we will also have the opportunity to go with the noble officials."

"Damn it, when will you pay me the money you owe me!"

"When is this, are you still thinking about this?"

"If you don't pay it back, if the orcs enter the city and kill you, who should I go to?"

""

These dozens of people got more and more confused, and some people hurried home. This seemed to be a signal. Soon, the group of people surrounded by them left one after another, with doubts and worries on their faces. They told their families the news they had just received that they didn’t know whether they were true or false. , Friends, and their family and friends will continue to spread after adding something they imagined, and a panic will begin to spread here.

Catherine on the side squeezed Farasi’s little hand tightly. She turned around gracefully, looking pale and looking at Ryan and Ellendor behind her, and said helplessly: "How could this happen? I originally agreed. The teleportation formation was opened to prevent Luke and the others from being disturbed by those nobles and officials, but now, the orc army has not seen it, but my people are in chaos first."

Everyone was silent. Obviously, this matter was a bit beyond the pre-conceived idea and became a little uncontrollable.

"No, I can't go on like this!" Catherine's eyes showed a touch of choice. She held her swan-like neck high, her eyes blurred, but she looked firmly at the end of the street: "Let's go, Find Luke immediately. We must immediately eliminate this panic among the people, otherwise the front is fighting, but the back is chaotic, and this battle will not need to be fought."

On the northernmost wall of the imperial capital, Luke and Orlando are discussing something.

"We are far more numerous than the orcs. If we recruit young and middle-aged people desperately to join the army, then we can definitely form an army of more than 2 million" Luke said: "But this is absolutely impossible. We must keep enough people. , Otherwise, even if the orcs are defeated, we ourselves will not be able to cultivate due to lack of manpower, and the empire will encounter a terrible famine next year."

"I know!" Orlando nodded and said, "Up to now, I have formed fifteen legions with a total of 800,000 soldiers. All my subordinates, whether formal or apprentice holy knights, are already officers. It is broken down. In addition, I will hand over 120,000 people in the first two legions that have been reorganized to you, who will be responsible for the transportation outside the Imperial City."

"Have you prepared your battle plan?"

Orlando shook his head and said: "About the imperial capital’s defense plan, it was actually formulated by the alchemist Jessie, one of the seven heroes, as early as 200 years ago when the imperial capital was built. A very detailed plan. But our current situation is the last one in that plan, but I have been hesitant, because relying on these improvised civilians, it is impossible to stop the orcs from violently on the wall. Offensive. The wall of the Imperial City is not as good as the Thor Fortress in height and thickness. More importantly, the entire wall of the Imperial City spreads for more than 100 kilometers, and the orcs can choose to break through any point, and we must at least guarantee every meter of the wall if we want to defend. There must be three people on board. According to this number, we will arrange 400,000 people on the wall, which is more than one-third of our current manpower."

"Then shrink in the city!" Luke said in a faint tone: "According to the last plan of Jessie's plan, only part of the army will be used to resist on the wall, and the main force will be placed in the city. , To consume the strength of the orcs as much as possible, and finally use the most elite 200,000 fighters to give the enemy a fatal blow."

"But," Orlando's face showed an unbearable expression: "In that case, the loss of civilians is really too great."

The two were talking, suddenly a messenger rushed over and said loudly: "Master Luke, General Orlando, Your Majesty the Queen is here!"
