The Scarred Queen's Rise (Athena) novel Chapter 753

She walked to the center of the hall and said loudly to everyone, “When Xander was at Fouver Pass, he repelled 30,000 Northern Barbarians with 3,000 Aegis Guards. What he relied on was not the number of people, but the determination to

die

Your Majesty, although Northcold has a large number of people, they are on an expedition and the supply line is long. We

nly need to defend the city gate and delay until they run out of food, and we can win without fighting.”

Athena swept across the faces in the hall with firm eyes, cheering them up. “Pidence City is indestructible. It is not easy for the people of Northcold to attack, not to mention that we have more than 10,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of people behind us.

When the country is in trouble, everyone is a soldier. If we lose our fighting spirit because we hear that the other side has a large number of people, that is the greatest sadness.

“We will never give up until the last moment.”

“But can we hold it?” Someone asked with a trembling voice, “Although the city wall is strong, we can’t resist for long if 100.000 people attack the city in turn.”

“We can hold it.” Athena took over the conversation and scanned the crowd. “The Imperial Guards are familiar with the defense of the Imperial City and can defend the inner city; the Aegis Guards is powerful and can defend the outer city.

“The people are willing to live and die with us and can transport rolling stones and burn arrows. As long as everyone does their job, we may not be without a chance of winning.”

Michael looked at this scene and suddenly clasped his fists to Arthur. “Your Majesty, I ask to defend the outer city to the death.”

He turned to Athena, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by determination. “I’ll leave the inner city to Princess Consort.”

Arthur pondered for a moment and said to Michael. “I allow it. Pass on my decree to immediately strengthen the city walls and transport all the fire oil, bows, and arrows from the treasury to the top of the city. Tell the soldiers that their home is behind them, and a step back is an abyss.”

“Yes!” Michael’s voice was sonorous and powerful.

When he turned around, he took a deep look at Athena again, and then strode out.

Arthur looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly straightened his hunched back.

He stood up from the chair, used all his strength, and said. “Pass on my decree, all those who can hold weapons in Petanion can join the army.

“Those who have made meritorious service in defending the city will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and those who have made great contributions can be granted titles and made generals, and will be exempted from taxes for three years!”

The imperial edict was delivered by the eunuch, and the people of Pidence City were in an uproar.

“A reward of one hundred taels of silver, and the possibility of being granted the title of Marquis, this is a great opportunity.”

“That’s right, just for the sake of this reward, and to protect my wife, children, and parents, I will fight those Northcold people.”

Someone raised his arms and shouted. “The Northcold people are ferocious. If they break through the city, we will all be doomed Now that the country is in crisis, if you are a man, pick up your weapons and follow me to kill them on the city

TOWET

Athena is pregnant, and she has gone to the city tower for the sake of the people of the city. How can we men hide behind at Serman and live in shame?”

Kill The shouts shook the sky, and the men went to collect their weapons.

If there were not enough weapons, they used hoes instead.

The women and children made arrows, sewed clothes, and cooked for the soldiers.

Even the children held small wooden swords and stabbed like real soldiers.

Morale was high, and Athena stood on the city tower looking at the people in the city, a smile on her face.

She looked into the distance, where there was a dark mass, which was the army of Northcold.

In front of the battle formation was Ray, sitting in a chariot.
