Chapter 876 875. Guardians of the past, Transia needs you! (Part 2)

Just when Mr. Murphy, the "genius ruler", was looking at the reports in the Maginot Line with pride, the last batch of recruitment orders was also sent to a very special reclamation territory in southern Transia on the third day of the start of the defense line.

.

This is a bit far from the Maginot Line.

Its location is not near the Cross-shaped Transian Avenue planned by the Brotherhood of Stonemasons. Instead, it is near the former mines of the Barony of Darkness. It is a gentle area in a hilly area. It is not rich in products but has abundant sunshine, which is very suitable for growing grapes.

Come and make wine.

Of course, you can't expect the illiterate Transians to know the brewing recipe. This is a local "emerging industry", and the recipe was contributed by the head of this strange village called "The Third Brigade".

It is said that this guy used to be a "big shot" and a popular figure among the vampire lords of the previous generation.

After the change of dynasties, people like him had obvious "problems of origin" and were reduced to a remote area to cultivate wasteland, which was the fate they deserved.

However, this rumor about the village chief is actually wrong, because Mr. Flanders McKent, the former colonel of the Third Armed Blood Servant Brigade, nicknamed "The Eagle's Claw", originally had the opportunity to hold an important position in the newly-established People's Army.

Maxim also specifically asked Murphy for instructions, and the Governor was willing to give this loyal and brave Blood Servant leader a chance.

But he himself refused after careful consideration.

The reason for rejection was not only because his family, who had escaped the Cadman City disaster, did not want him to go out and fight in the war again, but also because the armed blood servants suffered a disastrous defeat at the end of the previous ten years of war, which led to these blood servants being taken away from Golden Bird by Murphy.

After the exchange of Flower Kingdom and Nordtov, there were many more disabled veterans.

Those were all diseases contracted by working as coolies in prisoner of war camps.

These guys are helpless in Transia, and most of them come from a family of blood servants in the Sarokdar era. They are the group of people who have the deepest connection with vampires in this land, but are the most difficult to integrate into the new order.

Especially after Governor Murphy and Grand Duke Tris abolished the blood servant system, these veterans who had nowhere to go became the first to be forgotten.

Colonel Flanders could have ignored these guys and relied on his excellent military talents to work as an official in the New Order system, but he was a man of conscience after all, and he also remembered to build railways in prisoner-of-war camps in the wilderness.

Those soldiers who were tortured to death by the Yankees to protect themselves.

He couldn't sit idly by, so after receiving the mercy of Archon Miriam, Flanders took his family and accommodated these veterans who had nowhere to go as much as possible and came here to form the "Third Brigade"

"The administrative village, while reclaiming wasteland, is trying to lead these "remnant parties" who also belong to the previous era to live a good life in the new era.

I have to say that Colonel Flanders is a pretty good manager, perhaps because of his military habits. He uses semi-military methods to manage his village, which results in more orderly and efficient results than other administrative villages.

Nearly a thousand villagers in this village are very united because of the issue of identity. They know that this is the only place that will not discriminate against their past, so they also have a sense of belonging to the village and are willing to work hard for tomorrow.

Therefore, a group of poor people who were originally just hugging each other for warmth, unexpectedly achieved a pretty good overall ranking among the thirty-three administrative villages currently under the Transia Administrative Office, and thus also received some resources from the Administrative Office.

While the Black Disaster was in full swing, the first batch of wine from the Third Tourist Village was about to be brewed.

Because this place is very closed and remote, these guys with special status seem to be completely unaffected by the war in the outside world. They just live their lives behind closed doors.

Until today, the accident finally came.

The village chief of Flanders had just had dinner and was going to guide his little daughter in her schoolwork.

This little girl regards Ms. Miriam as her idol and keeps saying that she wants to become a powerful woman like the Scarlet Archon. Regarding this lofty wish, the former colonel who has seen real big scenes has no comment, but what do you think of a child with ideals?

It's all a good thing.

Just as he was teaching his little daughter to read the preface to the third chapter of "The General History of New Transia", a guest suddenly came to visit him.

It is Mr. Porter, the captain of the militia of this village.

Well, in other villages, the militia captain is a "prominent" position, but in the third administrative village with special circumstances, the militia captain is a dispensable position. After all, the entire village is full of former professional soldiers.

After fighting the dangerous ten-year war, although they became farmers, they really didn't need a veteran to guide them on how to prepare for war.

Therefore, Captain Porter has no sense of presence in the Third Brigade Village, but this does not mean that Captain Porter's identity is simple.

His background is actually no worse than these armed blood servants from the previous era.

Although in the eyes of most villagers, Captain Porter is a taciturn and weird-tempered middle-aged man who is always planting flowers and plants on his own farm, or guiding a pair of orphan brothers and sisters he adopted to farm and raise livestock, but

The mayor of Flanders knew that Captain Potter's true identity was a retired witch hunter.

It is said that this guy has some relationship with the current head of the Avalon Church, Ms. Natalie. One afternoon last month, Flanders saw the patriarch visiting Captain Porter in a very low-key manner.

The farm also left some daily necessities and gifts.

Therefore, after seeing old Porter coming to visit, the expression of the village chief of Flanders changed.

He immediately knew that something had happened, so he asked his wife to take his daughter to play first, and waved his hand to the nervous eldest son to indicate that he did not need to be nervous and put down the gun in his hand. Then he and Captain Porter sat at the back of the country house.

Talking around the house.

Old Porter was not an eloquent person, so he did not exchange greetings. After simply saying hello, he used his very conspicuous robotic arm to take out a letter from his arms and handed it to Flanders. The village chief opened the letter.

He frowned as soon as he saw it.

That was a call-up order.

But it's not a simple call-up order.

Unlike other conscripted militiamen, in addition to the three seals underneath the Flanders document, there are also the personal seals of Governor Murphy and Archduke Trish, which represents a very special thing for a former armed blood servant.

significance.

In other words, he cannot refuse the mission represented by this recruitment order!

"Invite me to serve as brigadier general of the Transian militia?"

Colonel Flanders clenched his fists and said hoarsely:

"I know that militiamen are being recruited outside, but has the situation on the frontline gotten this bad? It's not that I don't want to, but I don't know anything about the current military construction in Transia, and I am already old.

To use today’s fashionable saying, it has fallen behind the times.”

"Haha, you shouldn't say this to me, Lord Flanders. Er, no, Lord General, if you have any objections, you should go to the defense line and complain to General Kudel.

But I guess you won't do that.

Although there are no blood servants in Transia now, the education you have received since childhood prevents you from refusing the call from the Midnight Duke. This even represents an honor to you that is difficult for ordinary people to understand."

The old Porter opposite had a dead face. He seemed to be sarcastic but was actually telling the truth, but it made the mayor of Flanders want to punch him in the face.

There are several scars on this guy's face, which seriously damaged the old Porter's personal image and made him always look gloomy and like a villain. But people who are familiar with him know that the old Porter is just an illiterate with a bad temper.

asshole.

He's not a bad guy, although he can hardly be called a good guy.

At this moment, Porter also felt that his "comfort" was not quite right, so he thought about it and said to the Flanders village chief in a sympathetic tone:

"Actually, it's not just you, I also received a recruitment order, the kind that you can't refuse. I want to return to the newly reestablished White Oak Chapter of the Avalon Church as a recruit instructor. What the hell! The farm is about to be harvested.

I don’t know if it will work for the two kids at home.”

"It's okay, my family will take care of it for you."

Flanders sighed.

He looked at the recruitment order in his hand, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked:

"When should I leave?"

"tonight!"

Captain Potter stood up and said:

"The defense line will send the Falcon Knights here to pick us up. It is said that Governor Murphy wants to see you, so you'd better clean up your appearance. You used to be a colonel, but now you have finally become a general. This is a great thing, why not

How about smiling more?"

"You used to be a witch hunter who was saddled with a crime, but now you're the instructor of a war group? I haven't seen you smile either, you bastard."

Flanders cursed:

"We are all people who should be forgotten. We all have a miserable past and a future that should be gloomy. It is a blessing from fate that we can spend the rest of our lives as peacefully as we do now. But I didn't expect that we couldn't escape in the end.

Live the call to war.”

"That's because the earth is calling. It doesn't want to lose anything anymore, so it greedily wants to hold on to everything it has now. And you and me, it's the earth that is fighting to protect the present.

The top soldiers sent out!

If you live because of it, you will naturally die for it.”

Old Potter, who was once a witch hunter, was also very good at playing superstition. This guy used the latest model of mechanical arm and threw down some Riddler words to bid farewell to the village chief of Flanders.

This thing was a gift that Captain Natalie brought to him when he visited an old friend.

It is said that the high-end goods brought back from Port Chardeau are indeed much more useful than the rusty combat claws he used to have. At least when holding shovels and sickles, they are better than those specially designed to open people's throats.

Claws are much more convenient.

Potter believed that when he used this mechanical arm to hold the hunter sword again, he could return to his former role as a ruthless hunter.

He put on his felt hat, saluted Mrs. McEnt, who looked worried, and strode away.

Standing in the backyard with the recruitment order in hand, the village chief of Flanders looked at the sky and was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until his wife, son and youngest daughter gathered around him that he took a deep breath, turned his head and smiled, saying

My family said:

"I'm going to fight.
