Public trial?You deserve it too!

Randolph muttered softly.

"Indeed, the sky has eyes, the earth has ears, and there are enemies in the forest—this guy must have been on the Eastern Front for a long time, and he has a lot of stories with elves."

It took Georgi a lot of effort to suppress his instinct to draw his sword and cut people. The blinking eyes in these trees almost caused him to commit PTSD. As a veteran of the Eastern Front, he always treated this kind of behavior Abhorred.

Although this kind of street fighting layout is not what he is familiar with, it leads to the same goal by different routes. You can see a lot of shadows similar to the internal configuration of the East Front Walled City. Obviously, this kind of layout has completely surpassed the defense of an ordinary gang organization against other gangs—because the imaginary enemy They are not ordinary people who are brave and ruthless at all.

If this place is used for street fighting, as long as enough people are stuffed in, a long cavalry brigade might be beaten to death. Even if it is placed on the Eastern Front, it is enough for the elves to drink a pot.

Georgie was really interested now, and carefully looked at Friedrich who was shoulder to shoulder with Claude.

If this camp is really built by the other party, then you must get to know the other party well,

Learn from me: Chapter 219 Chapter [-] Mobilization before the war

"Friedrich, you sign here—"

A few people walked into the basement, and Claude showed no politeness, directly took out the call-up order, pointed to the signature and said to Friedrich.

The man did not ask or question anything, and signed his name very obediently, without even looking at it, with a calm expression from beginning to end.

This once again made Georgie look at him with admiration. Unexpectedly, he was still a person who ignored fame and fortune.

"Knight Claude, what is written on it?"

Friedrich scratched his head and asked in embarrassment.

Georgi: "..."

After all, the other party was not from the Empire. He was arrested by the Theocracy for experiments since he was a child. After escaping, he was in exile all the way. It is really impossible to expect him to understand the characters of the Empire. He just barely understands some lingua franca.

"You were recruited by the Imperial Army. Now you are an active-duty Second Lieutenant of the Imperial Army. Under your command, you can organize an infantry battalion of a thousand people and attach it to my name."

Claude explained to him while putting away the call-up order.

"Establish an infantry battalion of a thousand people... So, I can organize all the brothers in the gang?"

Friedrich was taken aback for a moment, and then showed joy.

As a gang leader in the lower city, he never thought that one day he could become an officer of the empire, and even legally own his own troupe, and lead his subordinates to lead the army's salary.

"Okay, that's what I'm going to ask you to do."

Claude nodded.

"Friedrich, how many people can you pull up now? I mean in the imperial capital, you can take up arms and fight."

Friedrich was stunned for a moment, thinking that Claude was going to deal with other gangs in the imperial capital, but he said it quickly.

"There are quite a lot of people in the resident now, there are close to 400 people, because today is the Chinese New Year, and there is no need to go to work. The real orphans in the Orphan Gang and the people who live here will stay here to celebrate the New Year. Girls, children, old people and disabled brothers, there are only 200 people who can fight."

"Then what if I want you to call? How many people can be pulled up by these 200 people?"

Claude asked immediately.

"If you go to call people, you can call thousands of people. It is very fast to upload messages on my site. These 1000 people can be assembled within an hour."

Friedrich said with certainty.

"They are all good guys who can fight hard, and they are also indispensable for filming with other gangs."

"No no, you misunderstood me, I want you to call out all the people who can shout and move, as long as they can hold weapons, whether they want to participate in the battle or not, as long as you can Shout it out, then shout it out."

Claude knows that the Orphan Gang is a rabble, and the rabble can only really succeed if the number is extremely strong and the collective can replace the individual's thinking and courage.

Friedrich froze.

"Call out all the people who can shout?"

He asked hesitantly.

"Yes, how many people can you call out?"

"That...basically anyone who lives in my territory can shout, and most of the people who live here or work here will have a name in my gang, so that the big guys can help each other , so as not to be bullied."

the man explained.

"So if it's not fighting with others, but just shouting people to gather a crowd to demonstrate, then there are countless people who can shout. Basically, you only need to let them shout a few words, and it will be passed down along the block automatically. The big guys will here."

"Okay, let's do this—let your people call over those who can fight first. I'll wait for them here, and then let them call others."

"Okay, I see."

Friedrich nodded, and quickly went out to call someone.

From the beginning to the end, he neither had any thoughts on Claude's words, nor did he express any doubts.

"Boss, who is he?"

Randolph was a bit at a loss. Friedrich was definitely not an imperial soldier, nor did he look like a knight, but the other party's obedience to Claude's words might be even higher than his own, which is a bit puzzling—this guy Where did it come from?

"His Royal Highness Christina's dark son, used to inquire about some gossip."

Claude half-truth explained.

"His Royal Highness Ludwig has been stranded in the imperial capital since His Royal Highness Joachim was demoted, and the eldest prince has controlled the underworld in the imperial capital by relying on the nobles. We are completely blind in this regard, fortunately When I first entered the imperial capital, I received a little care from Friedrich, so I recommended him to His Highness."

Randolph took a breath. He didn't expect this to be the foreshadowing that was planted at that time-it was almost three years ago. At that time, His Royal Highness Ludwig had just returned to the imperial capital to participate in the seizure of the throne. Princess Christina Only 15 years old, to be able to think of this and take appropriate measures is really terrifying.

"...As expected of the royal blood."

Randolph can only say this with emotion.

Soon, Friedrich returned.

"All arrangements have been made. Everyone except the sentry post has been sent out to call for people. They will be back in about an hour."

Claude nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."

"Which gang are we going to fight this time? You're so ignorant that you come out to find trouble during the Chinese New Year!"

Friedrich said a little annoyed.

"If you really want to say it's a gang, it's true." Claude nodded, "I'm going to take you to fight the most powerful gang in the capital this time, are you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The Orphan Gang started up on the heads of all the gangs in the imperial capital. It's not like they weren't prepared to join hands and try to kill me, an unruly layman, but they still gave up in the end?"

Friedrich's face was full of disdain.

"I just gave a dagger to the leader of each gang, and I personally delivered it to each other's bedside at night, and they all became honest afterwards—boss, which gang are you going to fight?"

"that."

Claude pointed to a point very close to the center on the map of the imperial capital.

"The uptown gang?"

The man was a little surprised, but there was no panic on his face, but a look of eagerness to try.

"What's the name of the other party's boss? I'll give the other party something for lunch while I still have some time."

"It's called Augustus."

Claude looked at the various blocks and intersections marked on the map without looking up.

"Augustus... the name is a bit cultured. He can't be a nobleman, can he?"

The eagerness on Friedrich's face became more and more obvious.

"Yes, a great nobleman."

Claude still said perfunctorily.

"How big is it?"

"His father is the Emperor of the Empire."

bang.

The two rapiers that Friedrich had just picked up fell to the ground.

"Old, old, boss! You don't mean to assassinate the prince, do you? This is the crime of ransacking the family!"

The man looked at Claude in trepidation.

"No, no, no, boss, I can't let the brothers in the gang and their families die in vain! If you do this kind of thing, just call me, or I will die there, but I can't let The Orphan Gang has been completely destroyed! There are still many old people and children who can only survive in the imperial capital by relying on the gang."

Both Georgi and Randolph looked at Friedrich with a mixture of surprise and respect.

What this man said earlier was the same, but later on he gradually became loyal—knowing that it was a capital crime, he was willing to obey, but he still wanted to keep the gang he formed, just to give those women, children, old and young a safe haven.

Such a man has won their recognition as a knight.

But respect is all respect, judging from the attitude of this guy who dared to assassinate the prince, if the other party was not affiliated with Christina, Randolph would have given the other party a taste of his basement.

"It's not what you think. Augustus wants to rebel against the emperor. I have received orders to take tough measures to suppress it."

Claude didn't keep a secret, and said it very simply.

After all, Friedrich had clearly expressed his desired attitude before.

That's good, he likes such a guy, who is absolutely loyal, has an inseparable concern in his heart, and basically knows his "true face".

"That's how it is..."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became relaxed. He picked up his rapier and put it on his belt.

"Then what is our mission?"

"Suppress the remaining gang members and opportunists in the imperial capital who are colluded by the great prince, and at the same time open a direct channel to ensure that friendly forces can reach the upper city as quickly as possible to counter the rebellion."

The knight pointed to a road map he had drawn.

"This road, basically the lower part of the city is in the hands of the Orphan Gang. You must immediately send someone to clean up the road and the narrower areas. Some houses and buildings that hinder the road will be directly demolished - Randolph will take this with you go together."

Claude lifted a heavy box up.

"This is......"

"The demolition fee is full of gold coins - don't be reluctant. At this time, using money to clear the road is the easiest way. I want you to ensure the smoothness of this road."

"Yes!"

Both Friedrich and Randolph were serious at the same time.

"Georgi and I will be in charge of commanding your people. I will be responsible for attacking the Midtown and Upper City to ensure that the route will not be affected. Georgi will take people to suppress the residences of other imperial gangs. And stop the rebel army that may appear."

Claude gave the order.

"Randolph is the liaison between us - protect yourselves, and then the task, understand? Only by living can people make up for their mistakes, not die after discovering that they can't complete it, this is the real coward, understand !"

"Yes!"

Three people took orders at the same time.

After confirming their responsibilities again, Friedrich spoke to Claude a little hesitantly.

"Knight Claude, I always feel...is it enough to call in those 1000 people? This is a war after all, and the most I can do is encourage my own gang to follow me. Those people are ordinary people. They dare not confront others with swords, not to mention that there are many noble knights..."

"You know, Friedrich, sometimes it's not necessary to tell them who the enemy is."

Claude laughed softly.

"Because they will find their own enemies—whoever is collectively identified as an enemy is an enemy."

-------------------------------------------------- ---

"Brothers and sisters of the Orphan Gang!"

Claude was dressed in civilian clothes, and was standing on a high platform built by stacking several boxes, delivering a speech to the dark crowd.

"I'm Claude, Claude Kaos, some of you know me and have seen me, but I think more people are seeing me for the first time - it doesn't affect the relationship between us. The relationship between us, because we are all relatives in a big family, brothers in the Orphan Gang!"

Claude paused for a while, and let those who had seen him in the crowd tell the people around him that he was indeed Friedrich's friend, and then he spoke again amidst the disappearing doubts of the people.

"I know you will be very puzzled, why are you called to gather here today, on such a day of family reunion - this is because, I, we, and the entire orphan gang are already on the verge of life and death !

"The various gangs in the imperial capital have joined together, and with the support of the noble forces behind them, they want to eradicate us completely!"

The gathered people were all frightened by this sentence, they talked a lot, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

Claude didn't continue talking, just stood there, looking at the chaotic crowd.

Soon, the power of silence became contagious, and the commotional crowd stopped making a sound. They stood where they were, stretching their necks, wanting to listen to what the young man said behind him.
