Chapter 50

When El and Laurana rushed back to the firm, the old businessman Jupiter was organizing manpower to strengthen the doors and windows.The surrounding streets are in a mess, and there are traces of corrosion left by the cockroach self-explosion everywhere.

Human beings are always good at learning and summarizing experience. After seeing the cockroaches ignited in the direction of the inner city, the residents in the city immediately followed suit.Although the bugs were driven out, their eyes were red from the smoke, and many people even fell into a coma due to suffocation.

Tika followed the cooks back and forth to hold the firewood, and his face was also covered with soot. He saw El covering his face in a hurry and wanted to find a place to clean it, but El grabbed him.

"Just keep it like this, and don't run around with everyone." El stopped Tika, and now the whole city is in chaos.Fuming his face is also a kind of protection, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Tika blushed and smirked twice, then suddenly slapped his forehead, and took out an egg from his pocket: "El, look quickly, little Langa suddenly shrank back and refused to come out!"

"Even if no one knows you, don't take this thing out!" El's head was covered with cold sweat when he saw it. Now the bugs flying around his head are of the same species as Langa, who knows what kind of connection there will be.

"It must be because you fed too much, and the pigs are all overwhelmed by you." El snatched the eggs and hid them in his bosom, and said viciously, flicking a chestnut on the head of the little maid.

"No..." Tika covered her forehead with tears in her eyes.

There was a group of soldiers at the entrance of the firm negotiating with Jupiter. The bearded captain at the head saw El, who was galloping back on his horse, and carefully looked at his outfit, his eyes lit up.He then pointed at El and shouted, "Boy over there, call me too!"

"Me?" El turned his head to look left and right, and found that the young and strong mercenaries in the firm were all fully armed and gathered at the door.

"Captain Kesen, he is my daughter's personal guard, not a mercenary of the firm." The old businessman hastily explained with a smile.

"Didn't you hear the trumpets? It's the most urgent situation now! All armed forces in the city must obey the deployment. Your little girl is dishonest and studying in the academy. She is to blame for running around and getting into trouble." The bearded captain seemed He is familiar with the old businessman, but he has a cold face and does not show any affection.

"What are they going to do?" El heard the words of the two people verbatim, and couldn't help frowning.He has heard a little about the fact that the mercenaries in Eastalen are semi-military.But now he is a shareholder of Jupiter Firm, and he can be regarded as a free citizen with status.It doesn't matter if it's just a favor for these soldiers, but now the inexplicable death prophecy on Tika has made him burnt out, and he has no mood to care about other trivial matters.

"According to Article [-] of the Istaron City Defense Law, when the city enters a state of war, all mercenaries must obey the unified command and deployment of the military. If the war escalates, all armed forces such as family guards, private soldiers, and attendants can be recruited " After she sprinkled some strange powder on the bonfire, Laurana walked up to El and said in a low voice, "But in the current situation, it shouldn't be in the most urgent state yet."

"Isn't the landwalker invasion the most urgent situation?" El asked in surprise.

"Brother Er, you underestimate the combat power of Istaren." Laurana smiled and shook her head: "And the ground world is the home of humans, so it would be equally difficult for humans to invade the ocean. "

Seeing that El ignored his greeting for a long time, Captain Corson's expression darkened.He pushed the old merchant away and walked towards El, sword hilt in hand.

"You'd better promise Uncle Cosen, even though he looks so bold, he is actually quite narrow-minded." Laurana secretly said to El with her mouth covered.

"The guards at home are gone, what about you and Tika?" El knew with a quick glance that almost all young people who could fight in the firm had been recruited.He couldn't rest assured that these two girls were left behind.

"Don't worry, no one dares to make trouble at this time. And remember what I said?" Laurana tilted her head and pouted in Tika's direction: "I think you should leave her during this time Nearby, the farther the better."

"Why is that?" El sighed, he really couldn't keep up with the eldest lady's train of thought.

At this time, Captain Corson had already walked in front of El, his eyes widened, and he snorted heavily on his face.

"Boy, didn't you hear me? Now! Grab your weapon and follow me!"

"I'm not a mercenary."

El looked straight into Captain Coson's eyes without fear. The bearded captain exuded a suffocating murderous aura. At first glance, he looked like an elite fighting from the mountains of knives and flames. It's not quite enough compared to the guys.The young man let out a cold snort, and released his wild aura, and the eyes of the two collided with each other in the air, causing sparks.

"You are a mercenary." Captain Kosen gritted his teeth and said word by word: "If you are not, then you are a spy. I will kill you now!"

"You took everyone away, what about the safety of our family?" El didn't mean to show weakness at all. As a big hunter, he also had his own pride, so how could he be frightened by a few harsh words.

"Who doesn't have a wife and children? Do you think they are safe if they can't defend the city wall?" Captain Kesen saw El's insistence, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Laurana who was hiding behind El. , snorted and said: "Women in Istaren are not as fragile as you think, foreign countryman. Are you going to climb the city wall with me like a man, or hide at home like a woman?"

"Okay, I'll just go with you."

El nodded helplessly. He just heard similar words from the mouth of the eldest lady. Everyone in Istaren seems to have inexplicable confidence in this city.

"El, I'm fine." Tika whispered pitifully, wiping the soot on her face. Although she was also worried about her beloved man, she didn't want El to be seen as a coward.

"You take care of yourself." El patted the little maid's head lovingly, and winked at Laurana. There was no tension on the eldest lady's face, she just smiled to show that she knew.

As the direct disciple of the Great Alchemist, Laurana must have no shortage of strange and weird ways to save her life. Although she always looks weak and harmless on weekdays, El already regards her as a dangerous person.Having her take care of Tika is actually more reliable than the current self who is at a loss.

"Don't dawdle, just pack up your things and leave! We have to go to the next house." Captain Ke Sen let go of the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice.

The Seventh Detachment of the Security Force led by Captain Ke Sen was originally responsible for the defense and patrol of this block.After receiving an emergency order, they turned into a law enforcement team, visiting businesses and shops on the street one by one, and it didn't take long to gather a reserve team of about 200 young and middle-aged people.As for those elderly veterans, they have already prepared their weapons and equipment and reported to the barracks, and they do not belong to the sequence of the reserve team.

El walked behind with the Xi tribe mercenaries from Jupiter Trading Company, observing the improvised team in a low-key manner.The strong men captured by Captain Kesen are basically mercenaries raised by each company's own family. On the whole, they are stronger than the rookies in his own family, and they look messy when they get together.Although there are many unlucky people who were punched and kicked for stealing, raping and slipping, most of them still showed optimism and excitement for the upcoming battle.

Such a team may be able to win a street fight by relying on numbers, but it may be completely defeated in a real battle.Even El can see this, he thinks that Captain Kesen will not be unclear.The bearded man's face looked darker and darker, but he still carried out his task meticulously.

El secretly asked George and Kevin to find out that the upper echelons of Istaren did not expect these mobs to directly participate in the war.As a reserve team, they also need to go to the barracks of the original city defense army for training, and the training time depends on the battle situation ahead.

When it was getting late, Captain Kesen finally joined the other detachments, and the reserve team that was being driven also gathered together, and the rough number was tens of thousands of people.Taking advantage of no one's attention, El's eyes flickered with blue light, and he looked around with his eyes of truth, and found that there were no less than 20 strong people who made him feel troublesome.

Only the first round of war mobilization has such momentum, which can be seen from the background of Eastalen.
