The United Theater Company's performance was a great success.
Amid cheers and applause, Miss Lina led the troupe staff onto the stage to thank the audience.
Someone in the audience took the lead and sang the popular "Ranger Song". Slowly, everyone joined in the chorus.
“The desolate rain was freezing all night long, and I returned to my wife and children in my dream.
Crossing the hills and returning to my hometown, only the roar of the devil echoes
Rangers, move forward.
Light the beacon and blow the horn
Griffin claws fight for me
Rangers, move forward.
Pick up the sword and mount the war horse
I am the nameless wind of Talengard"
...
In the crowd, Tricia and Heidi were filled with tears.
When the actor who played Umberto shouted, "Come and take my head," the audience was deeply shocked.
Especially those who had seen Umberto with their own eyes, and those who, like Lina, had fought with him, were even more emotional.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Lord Dewey?"
"Chapter Commander Dewey, why are you here?!"
Someone exclaimed, and people stepped aside to make way for a passage.
Dewey, who was wearing regular clothes, smiled and said, "What? Am I not a citizen of Starwind City? Am I not allowed to watch this show?"
"No! We are afraid that you will ban this performance!"
shouted a bold man.
Dewey smiled, shook his head, and walked onto the stage under the expectant eyes of the people.
Ms. Lian Na, the leader of the troupe, smiled and nodded to him.
Another actor who played "Dewey" was quite panicked, worried that the powerful regiment commander would punish him.
Dewey noticed the actor's embarrassment and took a few steps forward to shake hands with him and said, "Don't worry, you played me very well."
The audience burst into laughter.
Next, Dewey looked sternly at the actor playing "Umberto."
The blacksmith lowered his head guiltily.
Dewey's eyes were complicated and his expression was solemn. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Your performance reminded me of Captain Umberto and the day of Talengard's evacuation. I'm sorry, this experience cannot be considered pleasant, but , I am sincerely grateful for your performance, you made Lord Umberto come alive at this moment."
"Thank you, thank you!" The blacksmith was a little flattered.
Afterwards, Dewey faced the audience and made an impassioned speech.
"Leaders of Starwind, some of you recognize me and some don't, it doesn't matter. Behind me is the Morning Star Monument. As long as everyone knows what kind of hero Captain Umberto is, that's enough. .”
"Now, the war in Fengling Plain has been temporarily extinguished, and we can live a normal and peaceful life. However, this does not mean that war will never come again. You must know that Fengling Plain has been cursed by natural disasters and geographically. With the advantage of being relatively closed, the demons in Talengard did not discover our existence."
"However, once they launch an attack on Starwind City, the current Starwind Leader will be unable to resist them."
"The outside world is not peaceful either," Dewey continued in a deep voice. "We will never know which one will come first, the devil or the descendant. Everyone has heard about what happened in the pioneer area, especially from the pioneer area. Many of the people who came to Starwind Territory were harmed by some evil descendants and had to leave their hometown."
"But we all know that demons and descendants will eventually come," Dewey's voice became louder. "One day, Starwind City will go into full-scale war with Talengarde, and the Wind Spirit Plain will inevitably fall into the flames of war. We will Losing the environment for peaceful development and fighting for survival again, one day, the descendants will know the news of the existence of Starwind Territory, and they will find ways to get here to realize their insatiable desires and ambitions."
"Although the Starwind Territory is becoming increasingly powerful, we are located in the center of the old empire, alone in the depths of the occupied area. Our only ally, the Wolf Principality, is still fighting an arduous war with the mechanical tribe within the territory, facing powerful demons and The future of the Star Wind Territory is full of challenges for those who come with malicious intentions."
"We have made a lot of preparations for this. The Government Affairs Department has made sufficient reserves of materials. The ordnance factory has built a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment. The defense nodes composed of Star Wind City, Black Cliff City, and various towns have strong city defenses and crossbows. sharp."
"The Military Academy has trained a large number of young officers who dare to face powerful enemies. The testing ground of the Ministry of Magic Science and Technology works day and night to intensify the development of more lethal weapons of war. The lord puts himself in danger and leads the fleet to the oceans for the purpose of In order to find the Dragon Blood Crystal as soon as possible and break through the development bottleneck of the Star Wind Territory."
"As a supplementary military force, under the leadership of the Supreme Military Council, in addition to the regular legions composed of divinely selected warriors, towns, farms and other institutions in the territory have also established normalized militia training mechanisms and formed militia organizations to face Against a powerful enemy, everyone in the territory was knit together like never before."
The people in the audience listened to Dewey's speech with serious expressions, but the current leader of the Griffin Claws paused and looked at everyone's reactions before continuing to speak.
"However, what is very likely to happen is that the war will come early," Dewey's calm voice told the cruel truth, "According to the long-term development plan jointly formulated by the lord and the Government Affairs Office, if the current development speed is maintained, Starwind Territory It will take three to five years to reach the size of a small principality, capable of competing with the demons of Tallengard. However, according to the recent reconnaissance results of the Griffin Claw and Starwind Shadow troops in the Tallengard area, we There’s a good chance there won’t be another five years.”
"The demons in Talengard are restless. According to estimates, the probability of war between Starwind City and Talengard within one year is 20%, and the probability of war within three years is as high as 95%."
Dewey's words caused an exclamation from the crowd in the audience.
Everyone knows that the existence of Star Wind City is a miracle, but when the cruel truth hits them, many people still find it unacceptable.
Seeing people's reactions, Dewey was not surprised at all. At this time, his tone became firm.
"I don't mean to pour cold water on everyone when I say this today. It's just that fate never caters to our ability to accept. What I want to express is that the Starwind Legion is ready to face all invading enemies and fight against them. At the same time, we hope that the majority of residents will be prepared for danger in times of peace, be ready to respond to the call of the Government Affairs Department and the Military Commission at any time, actively avoid danger and follow orders after the outbreak of war."
At this time, people in the audience suddenly realized.
Captain Dewey wanted to take this opportunity to remind residents to be mentally prepared for the impending war.
The audience arriving today includes residents of major towns and farms in the Fengling Plain. There is no doubt that Dewey's impromptu speech has positive significance in strengthening war preparations in various places and encouraging residents to produce.
