Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 765: The current state of the Knights

The Knights of Pinewood and Sleigh is a country knight order in France. When Chen Xin asked the autonomous city to form a knight order, several surrounding cities jointly funded the formation of the knight order.

As for this somewhat nondescript name of the Knights, it comes from the specialties of several surrounding cities.

These cities are all located in the foothills of the Alps. They are small and small cities in the mountains. In the past, they mainly relied on tourists who came to the Alps and some agricultural and sideline products to maintain the city's financial income.

The local pine wood and the sleds hand-made from pine wood are among the few local specialties, so when the Knights were named, someone suggested using this name.

The number of people in this knight order is not large. There are about two dozen volunteers from several surrounding cities. They are the first members of the knight order.

They got a batch of decent equipment, plus some local special sleds from the surrounding cities, plus a few snowmobiles prepared by the members of the Knights, and they became All the possessions of this knight order.

Because the surrounding cities are very small, and the population is small, everyone knows each other, even relatives, the Knights actually do not have much task of maintaining law and order.

They mostly use the Knights' snowmobiles and sleds to help local residents transport some things, or to help local self-government agencies do some commissioned work, but these are not combat missions.

This seems to be better for the people of this knight order. Many of them are just forest guards or ordinary local residents. They volunteered to join the knight order to do something for their hometown.

Not having a combat mission makes them more comfortable, after all, no one likes fighting.

And if there is a real security problem in the local area, they are likely to face all their acquaintances.

So they're happy to get some work every day to move things or help with tinkering for autonomous agencies, and they don't even fire a gun except to pay blood taxes on the front lines.

However, this is really not a problem for such a small place. Even some young people with ideals have joined them and become the new blood of the Knights.

With the recovery of the industrial capacity of European countries, the situation in all countries is warming up, and the small towns where the Knights are located have also benefited from it, and life has become much better.

As a result, the Knights have lived a lot more comfortably with their little days, and some new belongings have been added to the regiment.

For the surrounding small towns and knights, such a day can be said to be very good. If they hadn't sent people to pay the blood tax, they even felt that it was not much different from the previous life.

That is to say, it was a little darker and colder, and although everyone had a bit of a hard time, they were able to cope with it now.

Originally everyone thought that life would be like this, but a piece of news spread after a group of members of the Knights who had paid the blood tax returned.

"You know? Countries are preparing for a big counterattack, and they are starting to stock up on supplies everywhere! When we were on the front line, the army even tried to recover some of the lost territory of the salient!" The members of the Knights who had just returned from the front line took advantage of the On vacation, bragging about the gossip in the local tavern.

In the past, the main industries of these small cities were all kinds of agricultural and sideline products, and they were naturally able to make wine.

Although there was no sunlight after the disaster, and the food production was terribly low, after the days were a little better, they still managed to get a little something that could ferment, and then brewed something that could barely be called wine.

For most old drinkers, this can only serve as a consolation, better than nothing, but it makes the tavern flourish again.

Everyone likes to come to the pub for a drink, chat with other people, and brag. It is one of the few entertainment activities now.

So these knights who just returned from the front line naturally like to come to the tavern and brag about their experience on the battlefield.

But this time, what they are boasting about is not the face dance with alien creatures, but the big news that countries intend to turn from defense to counterattack against alien creatures.

"Really, little Jimmy? Are they really going to fight back against those alien monsters?" an elderly man couldn't help asking when he heard the Knights say this.

This is the bad thing about this kind of small town. Everyone knows each other. Maybe you meet an old man who participated in your baptism when you were a child, and watched you being soaked in cold water by the priest and urinating by the way. a pot.

Compared to being known to others about the dark history from childhood to adulthood, being called a nickname is no longer a big deal.

The knights member called Little Jimmy put down his glass and said with confidence: "Of course it's true! When we were on the front line, we built several new ammunition depots for the army, and they were already hoarding ammunition. Now, Bob also participated in the counterattack. One of the defense lines that had been shot out of the salient was pulled back by the army. I heard him say that he killed at least 200 alien monsters!"

"Good job! Bob!" A member of the Knights named Bob was also in the tavern, and little Jimmy's boasting made everyone in the tavern cheer for him.

For those who stay in the back, the distance of alien creatures is still a little far away~IndoMTL.com~ After all, it is unlikely that a small city like them will have a front-line occupied area under these conditions. People run.

So the only thing they know about alien creatures is the dictation of these knights who went to the front line to pay the blood tax.

Bob raised his wine glass in a gesture, confirming what little Jimmy said was true.

However, even if it is confirmed that the countries are indeed preparing to counterattack, this kind of thing is still too far away from the residents of the small town. They are only discussing, but have no real feeling.

While their discussion was in full swing, a landslide was landing at the Knights' station.

The leader of the Knights and several important members all stood in front of the land runner, welcoming the people who got off the ship.

It was a logistics officer who came to pick up the knights every time they paid blood taxes, and this time it was the same.

Due to some procedural reasons, picking up people to pay the blood tax and sending back the people who have paid the blood tax is not carried out by the same land cruiser, but a ship full of people and sent to each knight order one by one Or one by one.

"Pinewood and Sleigh Knights, there are 4 people in the blood tax this time, let's get on the boat." The officer checked the list on hand and checked the members who came to pay the blood tax before letting them board the boat.

The leader of the knights watched them board the ship, and felt a little relieved. The blood tax can be said to be the most important thing for the knights. If they can successfully send people to the ship, they are half done.

However, this time there was still a little surprise, because the logistics officer handed a document to the head of the regiment: "I believe you should have heard the news that countries are preparing to counterattack, and each knight order needs to be prepared, You can refer to the document for specific requirements."
