Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 343 Shelter
Soon, a piece of news spread wildly in Sunshine City.

Seeing that the war was approaching, His Majesty the King was obviously about to face a super decisive battle, but he did not use all of his precious military forces to prepare for the war. Instead, he sent out thousands of troops to build a huge shelter outside the city.

This is really off the mark.

Everyone really knows what His Majesty the King is playing.

But Zhang Jingyi immediately came to answer their questions.

A large group of soldiers holding iron megaphones started walking around Sunshine City, shouting as they walked: "Everyone listen! Everyone listen! His benevolent Majesty has built a huge shelter in the mountains and forests north of Sunshine City."

"Any civilian who does not want to be involved in the war, or anyone who does not hold a military position, even a civil servant, can take refuge in the shelter."

"The king won't blame you!"

"The king has granted you permission to escape the war."

"The king does not force non-military personnel to fight in the war."

"It is legal to avoid war! Don't be afraid, just go ahead."

The soldiers' shouting immediately confused everyone in the city...

I've never heard of such a thing.

In the past, when wars broke out, the lords wanted everyone to take up weapons to help them fight. It was a very common practice to conscript civilians or use them as shields like last time. But His Majesty the King did the exact opposite.

"kindness!"

"Grandiose!"

"My gracious king!"

"The best king in hundreds of years, bar none."

"Her Majesty the Queen is equally kind, otherwise she would not have agreed to allow His Majesty the King to do this."

"Both husband and wife are the most merciful kings."

"Praise my King!"

The civilians cheered and hurriedly took their families and important belongings and headed for the refugee camp in the north.

And those small nobles who had been hesitating no longer had to hesitate.

His Majesty the King's orders are very clear!
Non-military positions are not required, but military positions require you to stay and fight.

This request is reasonable and no one disagrees.

Those minor nobles who held civil service positions in the government breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took their gold, silver, and servants and ran to the shelter.

As for military service, there is no need to think about it any more. Since you have joined the army and are a soldier, there is no reason to avoid war. Otherwise, how can you have the face to say that you are a soldier? Is it necessary for the country to pay you a military salary and feed you for free?
A large group of civilians and civil servants rushed to the shelter and took a closer look. They found that the shelter was well built. Large, flat wooden boards divided the shelter into several areas, including a living area, an activity area, and a functional area...

There is even a special "commercial street" in the functional area so that merchants in the shelter can continue to do business here.

Under the guidance of the dog-headed man, the civilians first found a temporary room in the residential area to live in, and then they could go to the commercial street to shop. It was like moving the entire city here!
The living conditions are a little worse than at home, and I can't help but smell other people's stinky feet when I sleep at night, but overall it is not much different from living in Sunshine City.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty the Queen and Your Majesty the King are so thoughtful."

An old man couldn't help but sigh: "I have lived through four generations of kings in my life, Elizabeth VIII, Elizabeth IX, Ugumantai, Elizabeth X... Only the king of this generation, Elizabeth X, is the most benevolent, kindest, and most considerate of all the kings."

"Is it because she has been in exile since she was a child and has experienced hardships, so she understands the pain of little people like us the best?"

"It should be the influence of His Majesty the King on Her Majesty the Queen."

"Your Majesty is a very kind man."

His Majesty the King, who was praised so highly by them, actually didn't think at all that he had done a great job... It was common sense for him to move civilians to air-raid shelters during wartime.

There are countless air-raid shelters in Shuangqing city, all of which were left behind when the Japanese army bombed Shuangqing during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, the Kuomintang was still in control of Shuangqing City.

Even the aristocratic masters of the Kuomintang, who are always criticized, know that during war, civilians should hide in air-raid shelters. How could he, a new generation who grew up under the red flag, not know this?

But there was no air-raid shelter in Sunshine City, so he asked the ogres and goblins to build a shelter outside the city.

In his view, this is what the government must do, and if it is not done well, it will be criticized. However, in this world, when it is done, even if it is done poorly, it becomes a benevolent policy that the common people have never seen before.

There was a lot of praise in the city, so much so that Zhang Jingyi felt embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Antonio was also reporting to Elizabeth, "Your Majesty, our reputation among the common people has greatly increased! Several small nobles from the surrounding areas have come to surrender, and they are all from the civilian department. They know that even if they surrender, they will not be sent to the battlefield, so they surrender with peace of mind. Anyway, they don't have to fight if they surrender, so they can just register their names first. Once we win, they will naturally become your loyal subjects. If we lose, they didn't go on the battlefield anyway, so they can pretend to Ugumante that they know nothing and continue to work for Ugumante."

Elizabeth didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are these people like this?"

Antonio sighed, "Although this is embarrassing, it is also a self-protection rule that many people have to adopt in such a situation."

Elizabeth thought about it carefully and sighed, "Never mind, it is true. Well, we just need to fight back well. After this battle, the outcome should be decided."

Antonio: "The enemy's vanguard, the Poplar Knights, is now not far from Sunshine City."

"The vanguard troops certainly don't carry siege weapons, they are mainly responsible for clearing the way." Elizabeth: "We shouldn't waste ammunition on them. My teacher, please take a few of our capable demi-human legions and go meet the Poplar Knights first to fight a vanguard battle."

"At your service, my queen."

Antonio left the palace and went to gather his troops...
-
Sunshine City East, 30 kilometers away.

The Poplar Knights, a total of 3000 soldiers, are stationed in a small valley.

Poplar is a plant that lives in the cold highlands of the north, so the Poplar Knights have another name, called the "Northern Knights".

This knight order has a special feature, that is, there are many mages who are good at ice magic, ice magic swordsmen, and they also carry a large number of ice magic props.

Ice magic is a branch of water magic and has a "restraint" relationship with fire magic. If there is any knight order that is least afraid of the "Pyroblast Cannon", it must be the Poplar Knights.

That is why they were sent as pioneers.
