"Is that all?" Lin Ziping asked rhetorically.

Lin Ziping naturally knew what the "promise" Ogata was talking about - he and Ogata had agreed that if Ogata could help him regain his freedom, Lin Ziping would take Ogata and the others to the building with the strange doctor.

village.

"That's right." Chanup nodded, "I have a lot of important things to do in the future, so I can't stay here for too long."

"Now that the words have been brought, it's almost time for me to leave."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Ziping said urgently, "Before leaving, can you let me ask you a question?"

Lin Ziping put on a serious face.

"How do you plan to deal with Kazuto's army outside the city?"

Regarding the question suddenly thrown by Lin Ziping, Chanup raised his eyebrows and then smiled:

"We will defend our homeland and fight until the Japanese retreat or our fortress is breached."

After that, Chanupu said no more and quickly left Lin Ziping's prison.

Lin Ziping stood there blankly, watching Chanup's leaving figure.

Even after Chanupu had left for a long time, Lin Ziping still stood there, motionless.

After a while, Lin Ziping gritted his teeth, quickly ran to the wall next to him, and kicked the wall bitterly.

"What on earth are Matsudaira Sadanobu, Kitagawa Toshiki and those people thinking... Why do they want to send troops to the Ainu...!"

"damn it……!"

He kicked the wall hatefully and growled lowly.

…

…

Red Moon Fortress, Chanup’s home——

"Is everyone here?" Chanup looked around at the people sitting around him.

"Upañu hasn't come yet." Retannoe, who was sitting next to Chanupu, replied, "The only one missing is Upañu."

Upanu is also one of the people qualified to participate in such high-level meetings - but until now, Upanu has not been seen.

"... Then we won't wait for him." Chanup said, "Let's get started."

Chanup looked around at the people in front of him again.

"I have decided to defend my home until the last moment." Chanup said bluntly, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

The eyes of the "War Faction" headed by Retannoe have focused on those "Procession Faction" who were very active before.

At this moment, these Lord Subjugationists either bowed their heads and remained silent, or loudly praised Chanup, showing that they were connected, and indeed they could not bow down to Kazuto.

Chanup's speech just now allowed the "main war faction" to completely overwhelm the "main surrender faction".

The residents who accounted for the vast majority of the population of the Red Moon Fortress and had experienced the suffering of the "southern migration" 10 years ago - almost all of them were inspired by Chanup's speech to defend this hard-won goal.

The fighting spirit of the homeland.

And those residents who had not experienced the "southern migration" 10 years ago were also inspired by Chanup's speech just now.

These residents who had not experienced the "southern migration" 10 years ago basically had to abandon their original homes and move into Heye Zhezhong due to various reasons.

Their feelings for He Yezhe are no shallower than those of the "aboriginals" who have experienced the "southern migration".

Now the temperature in the entire Red Moon Fortress seems to have risen several degrees due to the high fighting spirit and enthusiastic emotions of the residents.

These "Lord's Surrender" people are not blind people. They can naturally see that no matter how they talk about surrender now, no one will respond to them.

However, some of the "pro-defence faction" people were indeed moved by Chanup's speech just now, and completely switched sides to the "pro-war faction" side.

Seeing that no one spoke, Chanup nodded.

Just when he was about to say something, the curtain at the door of the room was suddenly opened.

Everyone, including Chanup, immediately focused their attention.

I saw a middle-aged man, with an expression that made it difficult to understand his specific emotions, slowly walked to the opposite side of Chanup, and then sat down cross-legged.

"Upanu..." Chanupu said softly, "I thought you weren't coming..."

"You came just in time, the meeting has just begun."

"If you have something to say, just say it now."

Upanu's departure caused a change in the expressions of everyone present.

The faces of "militant" people like Retannoe became ugly.

Some of the "surrender faction" who were still worried about "surrender" cast hopeful glances at Upanu.

Upanu is worthy of being the center of attention.

Not only did he make almost everyone's expressions change as soon as he showed up.

After he sat down, he just said one sentence and everyone's expressions changed again.

"...Chanupu, tell me." Upanu said softly, "Tell me how you plan to deploy defense."

Upanu's simple words made Chanupu involuntarily shrink his pupils in surprise - the others also had similar reactions.

After showing a faint smile to Upanu, Chanup looked serious and said loudly:

"Since no one has any objections, we will prepare for war with all our strength."

"To deal with the people outside the city, we must first increase the number of sentries on the city wall and strengthen our vigilance."

…

A large number of young and strong young men, armed with bows, arrows and spears, quickly ran up the inner and outer city walls. The number of sentries on the city walls doubled to twice the usual number.

All the people standing guard on the city wall were standing ready, their eyes wide open, and they were carefully observing every move of the army outside the city.

…

"Open all warehouses, check and count all food, drinking water and medicines in stock. The inventory is also carried out uniformly."

…

The doors of the warehouses dedicated to storing grain and drinking water were wide open. Tribesmen who were ordered to come to inspect and count were shuttled back and forth in the warehouses.

In Cunoya's clinic, while smoking a cigarette, Cunoya said in a lazy tone to the young people in front of her: "Are you the people sent by Chanup to help me count the medicines? Let's start.

Let's work."

…

"In addition to food and drinking water, weapons must also be comprehensively inspected and counted, and the weapons must be distributed."

…

Bundles of arrows and spears were brought out, counted, and distributed one by one.

The sound of sharpening arrowheads and spear points echoed throughout the Red Moon Fortress.

…

"This battle is related to the survival of our homeland, so we can't hold anything back...Bring out all those muskets."

…

In the Red Moon Fortress, a group of tribesmen rushed towards an inconspicuous warehouse.

There is only one thing in this warehouse - a row of neatly arranged flintlock guns with a red moon engraved on the handle of the gun...

And such muskets - they have 80 of them.

…

The Red Moon Fortress is like a machine running at full speed. Under Chanup's dispatch and arrangement, everyone is doing their work in an orderly manner.

Count and organize the food and medicine in stock...

Standing on the city wall, guarding against others...

It's just that this busy preparation for the war only lasted for 3 days.

Because 3 days later, just 3 days after Ogata left the Red Moon Fortress——
Chapter completed!
