Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 254

“The savage Rumont cavalry is approaching Barranquilla!”

On the streets of Enclave City, a short newsboy in a gray felt hat held a bundle of newspapers in his hand, and was waving a newspaper in the other hand, shouting the headlines of today’s newspaper at the same time.

A young man in a black woolen coat heard what the newsboy was shouting when he passed by. He turned around and called the newsboy. purse, asked:

“I want a newspaper. What’s new in the newspaper?”

“As you have just heard, the Rumont cavalry is approaching Barranquilla, sir.” Seeing that there was a business to be done, the newsboy hurriedly took out another unwrinkled newspaper from his bosom and handed it to the young man. At the same time, he said, “One Enklan silver, sir.”

The young man took out two silver coins from the purse, threw them to the child, took the newspaper from his hand, and left the sentence, “The extra is your tip.” Then he turned and left, leaving only the newspaper boy gratefully He bowed to his back.

As the young man walked, he unfolded the newspaper that seemed to still have a faint scent of ink. The headline on it was a report on the front-line war printed in bold letters. The title of the report was not much different from the shouting of the newsboy just now.

“The savage Rumont cavalry is approaching Barranquilla?” The young man whispered the title, and then the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but raise a faint mocking smile, “This savage is really good, I don’t know and treat myself Who is more savage than the Enkelan gendarmerie who shoots by the people?”

After he finished speaking, he continued to look down. The following reports were mainly written around the actions of the Rumont cavalry and the failure of the front line. It is worth mentioning that the city of Barranquilla is a distance from Enkelan. Sicheng is less than five days away from a small town famous for its rich stone production.

“There’s only less than five days to go.” The young man thought to himself, closed the newspaper again, and threw it on the crowded street.

“It’s less than five days away!”

In the Parliament of the Republic of Enclave, the roar of the chief speaker echoed in this white marble building, Creighton Heller held a battle report in his hand, and shouted anxiously and angrily: “The cavalry of the Rumen people is constantly on the move. Approaching Enkrans, the troops trying to stop them all failed. In this emergency, we should unite and fight the enemy together, but what about you? You are actually transferring property?!”

Listening to the roar of the chief speaker, the members of the parliament did not speak. Take the time to transfer the family’s assets to the ship, and when the enemy comes over, those huge wealth can only be given to the enemy and become the enemy’s trophy.

The lawmakers were a little annoyed at this time, annoyed at why their family’s assets were so large that in less than a week, they could not transfer all the assets, such as those that could not be taken away. Assets, it can only stay in tears.

In the city of Enkrans, because of the undisguised selling of real estate by the deputies, and the fact that the news of the frontline battle was not strictly blocked, the rich and middle-class citizens in the city also began to panic. When they got up, they all wanted to sell the assets they couldn’t take away, and fled the city with all the money.

When the Imperial cavalry was still a week away from the city of Enclance, many citizens fled with their families that day, and went to the safer east area to seek refuge with their relatives and friends in the east.

However, because the imperial cavalry was approaching, those who were worried and wanted to flee were basically the wealthy. They were worried that after the imperial cavalry entered the city, they would be liquidated and their property seized.

As for the commoners at the bottom and the less wealthy middle-class citizens, they either welcomed the arrival of the imperial cavalry, or they hung up on the matter and looked coldly at the parliamentarians and the wealthy, those in the wealthy class. The man panicked and prepared to run away with the money.

For the low-level civilians who have no money, they have already heard a lot about the social security policies in the empire that are beneficial to the poor, and have longed for it for a long time. Therefore, they naturally welcome the rule of the empire, because they know that only by accepting Only under the rule of the empire can they enjoy the benefits of social security policies and live a better life than they are now.

The entire city of Enclans was caught in an ethereal situation under this background. Although the chief speaker and some members of the Enclans Council still insisted on guarding the city, their efforts could only be achieved. The gendarmerie and other small numbers of troops deployed in the surrounding areas of the capital were moved into the city for pre-war preparations.

Most people are busy transferring assets and want to escape the city with money. After the Imperial cavalry entered the plains of Enclans, the ships in Enclans port were scrambled to be hired by various families and wealthy people. The ships were loaded with a lot of wealth, and some of the ships’ waterlines were directly pressed to the level of tens of centimeters below the water surface.

…

“Imperial cavalry captures Barranquilla!”

On the next day’s newspapers, such headlines were unsurprisingly bolded and blackened on the headlines of the newspapers, but compared with yesterday’s newspapers, there was one more occurrence today in Port Enclance. news:

“A merchant ship loaded with gold and silver jewelry rolled over ~www.mtlnovel.com~ A large amount of the ship’s cargo fell to the bottom of the sea, killing twenty-seven sailors.”

Looking at what was reported in the newspaper, the young man who was still wearing the black woolen coat showed a disdainful smile on his face again. After reading it, he did not throw the newspaper on the ground, but turned his head and glanced behind him. .

It was the little newsboy who sold him the newspaper yesterday. The latter was carefully pocketing the two silver coins he gave, and then continued to jump up and down the report paper, shouting the headline of today’s newspaper.

Compared with yesterday, there are obviously fewer pedestrians on the streets today, and everyone is wrapping themselves tightly and walking in a hurry. The tension before the war can already be clearly felt in the city of Enkelans. , heavily armed soldiers also began to haunt the streets.

The young man silently glanced at a group of soldiers who passed by him. Several of the soldiers in the group still had the hesitation about the battle on their faces, and it was obvious from their slightly immature faces that they were not together. Not an experienced soldier, but a recruit who had only received brief military training and was hastily pulled out of the training camp.

The storm is coming.
