"I'll do it."

Zi Yang was the first to raise his hand.

"And me."

"For the safety of the gods, I am willing to take the risk."

"Me too."

…

The soldiers responded one after another and rushed to serve as volunteers.

"The coach is in trouble..."

At this time, a soldier came running over and said, "A lot of people have come from outside the city to sign up for the army."

"How many are there approximately?" someone asked.

The soldier shook his head and said, "I can't estimate, but it's a lot of people anyway."

"They were all starving ghosts. Many of them were so hungry that they could barely walk. They were gathered in groups of three or five, supporting each other."

"Tell the soldiers guarding the city not to let them in."

A general rushed to speak and looked at Tan Junyan.

"Captain, if we allow them to join the army, it will burden the gods."

Tan Junyan touched the little kid in her arms,

"You don't know, this is exactly a trap set by the gods to expand our team."

After that, he said to the soldier, "Take me over to have a look."

"Yes." The soldier bowed in agreement and then turned and left.

The soldiers followed closely behind, all of them caught up.

Tan Junyan had no choice but to say:

"Zi Yang, Wei Guang, Qu Zheng, the three of you stay here to handle the supplies at the scene. You must keep an eye on the sacred jar. No one is allowed to approach."

"yes……"

The three of them agreed in unison.

Not long after, Tan Junyan stood on the city wall, looking at the people who had jumped into the city below. She roughly estimated that there were about two thousand people.

But it does not fully meet the conscription standards.

Children and the elderly account for the majority of them.

In the distance, more people were coming.

Many middle-aged men and women were supporting the elderly and children.

It's not hard to see that they are a family.

It seems that the plan was successful. The barbarian army spread the news and cleared the passage.

In the future, more people will come to surrender to the city.

"That woman in armor must be General Tan!"

Someone in the crowd below noticed Tan Junyan.

"She's so young."

"And holding a cat."

"It should be a mascot."

"General Tan, please save us!"

"We are from Lingshui City. There is a riot in the city. Not only are people snatching children and eating their flesh, but even the city's garrison has started killing civilians and eating their flesh."

"Lingshui City has become a living hell. We simply can't survive here. If we stay here, we'll die."

"I heard you have food and water. Please have pity on us and give us a way to survive!"

"I kneel down before you."

An old woman with gray hair pulled her six or seven-year-old granddaughter and said, "Kneel down before General Tan quickly."

An old man and a young man knelt on the ground together.

More than two thousand ragged and emaciated poor people, young and old, knelt down.

"General Tan, we know you don't owe us anything, but we are really desperate and have no other choice.

"If we stay in the city, we will either starve to death or be eaten."

"You are a brave hero who cares about the people."

"You stopped the barbarians, defended the borders of the Holy Dragon Nation, and provided a safe haven for the people of Pengshui City."

"As long as you lend a helping hand, from now on, our lives will belong to you."

"We are willing to follow you in conquering the barbarians, regardless of life or death..."

Many young men said similar things.

The old people and children knelt on the ground and sobbed.

Tan Junyan looked at the people kneeling below, her eyes slightly red.

Holding Douding tightly in his arms, he took a deep breath and said, "Zhou Bo."

A general named Zhou Bo strode forward upon hearing the voice, bowed his head and said, "Zhou Bo is here."

"Go and tell the logistics department to cook some porridge so that everyone outside the city can have a bowl."

"Take out the steamed buns and pickled mustard greens as well. Give each of them a steamed bun and a bag of pickled mustard greens."

Tan Junyan gave the order decisively.

"Yes." Zhou Bo agreed loudly and turned to leave.

The people living below the city were all stunned.

I couldn't believe that there was porridge and steamed buns as soon as I arrived.

"Chen Zhao."

Tan Junyan continued to give orders, "Take people to build temporary tents to provide shelter for the people below."

"yes."

Chen Zhao bowed and agreed loudly.

"Tian Fu, open the city gates and temporarily settle the people in one place. Do not treat them with any disrespect."

"By the way, give each of them a bottle of purified water first."

"yes."

Tian Fu also responded loudly.

"General, your kindness is great, and we will never forget it."

It was not until the city gate slowly opened that some of the people below reacted.

"General, if you need us in the future, we will go through fire and water for you."

"Our lives were given by the general, and from now on we will obey his orders."

A hunchbacked old man knelt on the ground and cried, "General Tan, you are our savior!"

He said as he looked at his grandson kneeling beside him.

"Remember what General Tan looks like. She is our savior. Come on, kowtow to her."

"Thank you, General Tan." The thin boy, about eight or nine years old, kowtowed to Tan Junyan.

Seeing this, other people followed suit.

He kept bowing and saying words of gratitude.

"Everyone, there's no need to do this. Hurry up and go into the city and settle down there for the time being..."

Tan Junyan did not mention anything about recruiting soldiers.

Because the god husband only asked us to recruit soldiers to expand the team, and did not say that we could bring our families.

The current situation is that only one out of three or four people meets the criteria for joining the army.

In other words, for every soldier recruited, three or four rations had to be paid.

At the moment, these two thousand people are nothing and will not add much burden.
