Chapter 994: Alert (2)
"So the attack hasn't reached us yet?" asked a man.
"Yes! You have to understand that this is a pre-war preparation. For better protection, Fang Chen closed the city gates. And with our food reserves, we can fully meet the food needs of all the people in Heyang City!" Ji Xiaomu said to everyone.
"Then as long as we hold on well, nothing will happen! We can all live our lives as usual!" The other man's eyes lit up and he understood what Ji Xiaomu meant.
They don't need to be so afraid. As long as the city gates can be defended, they will be safe and there is no need to worry so much.
"That's right! The reason why the village chief called you here today is to tell you this! Everyone continue to live your life in peace, Fang Chen and the others are protecting our home!" Mother Ji said to everyone.
"General, are you still short of people? We are all the men of the family. There is chaos outside now, and we also want to help! We should do our part." A young man asked loudly.
"Of course! It's great that you can help." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.
"We are also citizens of Heyang City. Heyang City is our home! I will go back and tell my family where I should go to find the general?" the man asked anxiously.
"Anyone who wants to contribute to Heyang City, come and sign up with me! I will take you to see the general!" The village chief jumped out and said to everyone.
The men hurried home, explained what had happened today to their families, and then hurried back to find the village chief to sign up.
"Now go to each village and tell them what happened today, and take along those who want to help." The village chief said to the men.
"Okay!" After hearing the words of the village chief, the men ran to the next village to convey Ji Xiaou's words. When the men in the village heard that they could do their part, they all signed up.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and it spread to all the villages at lightning speed, gathering a huge team and heading towards the city wall.
When Fang Chen received the news from Ji Xiaou, a huge team was already standing in front of him. All of them were young men in the family, and they all wanted to fulfill their responsibilities and protect Heyang City from harm.
"General, just tell us what you need. We can do anything!" A man shouted at Fang Chen, and someone immediately echoed him.
"That's right. Although we are all farmers, we are not afraid of hard work. Heyang City is also our home."
"General, please accept us!"
"General!"
"General, let us help!"
"..."
Fang Chen stood on the city wall, looking at the pairs of eager eyes below, as if he saw the passion when the soldiers were being recruited before going to war. Back then, they were fighting to defend their country, but now, they were just a group of men who wanted to protect their families.
"Okay!" Fang Chen said loudly to everyone.
"We are all good men of Heyang City. Our wives, children and families are right behind us. We must protect this fortress and ensure the safety of our families!" Fang Chen said loudly.
“Good!” “Good!” “Good!”…
"Second brother, you assign tasks to them!" Fang Chen said to Yang Hua who was standing beside him, and Yang Hua nodded. "Yes, big brother!"
"But tell them that if there is any danger, don't try to be brave! Saving your life is the most important thing," Fang Chen said.
