Chapter Forty-Three: The Great Rebellion in Xiongdu (I)
Later history books recorded that in 987 of the Valoran calendar, a bloodshed event broke out in Demacia that was enough to change the entire Demacia, which was officially called the "Dharma Field Riot", but more people called this event the "Mage Revolution"!
The cause of the incident is very ordinary, it's just that a black mage is going to be dragged to the court today to be beheaded, and the unusual thing is that the person who is about to be beheaded is Silas from Sideditch Town, and Silas has a good friend, it is the eldest lady of the crown guard family, Laxana!
According to witnesses, it was very dark and inexplicably cold, and Silas was dragged to the guillotine with a lot of flowers, followed by a series of sentences, such as "irretrievable magic users", "rebels plotting subversion", and "dangerous contraband holders......
"May you find light in the darkness of death!" said the Demon Seeker, and the hooded executioner raised his glittering two-handed heavy sword, no doubt that if the heavy sword was allowed to fall, Silas would be in a different place in no time!
Everything seemed to have been rehearsed in advance, and in the nick of a moment, Lux appeared, and she said, "You're doing it wrong! All the stories and rumors you've heard about Silas of Sideditch are incomplete truths!"
"He's a monster mage!" someone in the crowd immediately shouted the right opinion.
"He's a mage! But he's also a human...... A man with a heart and a soul, a human being like each and every one of you!"
Seeing that the crowd was still clamoring and ignoring herself, Lux shouted even more loudly, "He was forced to be like this by us, and it is not his fault that he was born to be a mage." And the way Demacia treated them...... Maybe it's we who turn people into monsters! I know this very well, and I am torn about it, because I ...... I'm Laxana Crown, I'm ...... I'm his friend!"
How could the centuries-old idea of forbidden demons be shaken by a few words from this little girl, Lux?
The crowd immediately erupted in shouts and curses, "her pro-demon faction" and "simply shameless"......
"Miss Crowned Guard, your compassion is touching!" the leading demon seeker commanded the guards in a deep voice with a gloomy face, "but the law is not forgiving!
The guards understood and immediately stepped forward to "escort" Miss Crowned Guard to the execution table, but at this moment, Lux turned around and rushed to Silas who was kneeling at the guillotine.
"Silas, I'm sorry!" said Lux in pain as she put her hands around Silas's head.
"I'm sorry...... My glimmer!" Silas squeezed out an inexplicable sentence from between his teeth, and there was even a hint of joy in his tone.
"What's ......" Suddenly Lux felt that the strength of her whole body was rapidly draining, and the speed was so fast that she didn't even finish such a complete sentence, and saw that Silas's hands and feet were shining with dazzling light, which ...... This light was all too familiar to Lux, wasn't it her own magical form?
"Boom!" Without leaving time for Lux to startle, the iron lock that bound Silas shattered, and the huge force even knocked the demon hunters and guards who rushed forward sideways, and because of the explosion, the scene was even more large and small rocks flying around, and the citizens who were surrounding to watch the excitement were even more frightened by this change and fled.
"Yes, run, taste the run!" Silas grinned and gathered his strength again, and as he stretched out his hands again, two pillars of light with destruction shot out of his hands, and the two sturdy stone buildings that were hit immediately flew with rubble and began to collapse!
"Silas, why?" Lux, who was also knocked to the ground by the shockwave, got up and didn't rush up immediately, because there happened to be an ordinary citizen next to her who had been knocked unconscious by the rubble, and Lux picked up the citizen and asked Silas who was killing with tears in her eyes!
"Don't cry, girl!" Silas turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of determination and growl, "From now on, people like us will never cry again!"
After all, it was in Xiongdu, and there was an explosion in this place, which naturally attracted the surrounding city guards, and even the Demon Hunters and the Fearless Pioneer Regiment, and the soldiers quickly drove to the place of the incident, and unsurprisingly, these ordinary soldiers who scattered and rushed over were simply helpless in the face of Silas who used magic......
"It's just a fight of trapped beasts on death row!" the Pope said lightly when he heard the coming, panting and explaining the matter.
Indeed, with the strength of Xiongduli, it is only a matter of time before he is strangled, and one person, can he still turn the sky upside down?
"No!" Hao's mind immediately remembered the faces of the old woman and the scrawny demon stainers he had seen in the cemetery that night, and he asked affirmatively, "Silas is not fighting alone right now, I think he must have a large group of demon stainers gathered around him!
"The latest news from the front, they quickly gathered a team of demon stainers who have numbered more than a thousand people, and ...... And the number is snowballing!" replied with a bitter tone.
"Grass!" Hao scolded secretly, and then turned his gaze to the Pope, everyone knew that the temple had a holy knighthood, and in terms of fighting magic, this holy knight was said to be because of the blessing of the god of light, so it had its own uniqueness in terms of magic immunity.
"Well......," said the Pope with a smile, "our temple has never been involved in secular affairs, so we should not forget our original intention, we should pray at this time, the God of Light is above, she will forgive these Tainted who participated in the riots, and at the same time she will soothe the ......."
"I'll touch your sister!" Hao rushed out of the study with an arrow step, and stayed with the old fox of the Pope for a while, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist beating someone.
At this time, he only longed for his own independent Sixth Regiment by his side, not that Hao was such a patriotic person, but everyone knew who would be unlucky in this mess?
What's more, Hao vaguely felt that there was an invisible big hand operating the whole incident behind the scenes.
After all, this is Xiongdu, and even an outsider like himself has been assassinated twice in one night for no reason.
That Silas, who has already been sentenced to death, was able to carry out a coup d'état?
Let's just say that the combat effectiveness of the city guards is not good, and what about the Demon Hunter Corps and the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment?
Hao, who was thinking all the way, rushed out of the temple, only to find that the chaos outside was far more than what the priest said in a few words, one of the law field and the temple were in the south of the city, and the other was in the north of the city, and it stands to reason that such a distance was enough to dilute the impact of this riot, but Hao looked around, everyone was running, and there was an almost non-stop sound of explosions, as well as fires and smoke burning everywhere...... This, is this a mess in the whole male capital?
When later generations studied this day, they all found countless coincidences, and these coincidences were superimposed, so that all the mages who originally belonged to the weak side actually achieved brilliant results in the early stage of the battle!
For example, the rebellion that originally broke out in the south of the city, the kingdom in the Xiongdu only needed to gather its troops, and a single charge was enough to defeat this rabble, and even it was not difficult to kill its leader Silas, but a large group of ragged demon dyers rushed through the gate of glory as if they had been discussed, and wreaked havoc in the northern city.
What is the North Quarter? It is the residence of the nobles, so all the living forces are forced to stay in the North City to fight street battles and anti-guerrilla warfare with the demon stainers.
This gave Silas plenty of time to mobilize and summon his followers, and Galen is said to have rushed ahead of the charge.
But in the face of Silas's unique magic attributes, in a one-on-one situation, Galen was actually knocked unconscious by Silas, if it weren't for Lux desperately protecting his brother, it is estimated that Galen would have died on the spot!
In this way, Silas became even more famous, and a swordsman chief of the Fearless Vanguard Regiment was defeated by him, and more of the originally fearful Demon Stainers stood up and became Silas's followers......
At this moment, Silas had led nearly 2,000 people to attack the grand square, and Silas, who was standing on the high platform, trampled the body of a demon hunter who had just died in battle under his feet, raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, sisters, see, how vulnerable the oppressors are to magic! Even the fattest beasts will become dry bones under our feet! That's why they lock us up! That's why they will perish! And their slaughter will be our freedom!"
"Die!
"For freedom!"
"Kill, kill Castle of Dawn! Kill the fattest moth!"
Immediately, a tsunami-like cry rang out from the crowd of followers!
It's been too many years, and such suppression erupts like a volcano at such a catharsis, which is simply overwhelming!
Hao ran all the way from north to south, and as far as he could see, there were either frightened nobles, numb citizens, and the usually cowering demon stainers, who were really crazy.
Hao saw a little girl rush at the city guard's spear like a madman, and when the sharp spear pierced her thin chest, a vine-like plant suddenly burst out from her hands, strangling the soldier to death.
There is also a person who is on fire all over his body, despite the fact that he has several arrows stuck in his body, he is still chasing the demon seeker around, laughing and arson everywhere as he runs!
"Assemble, assemble...... "A soldier in Praetorian Guard armor roared all the way, "all soldiers go to Castle of Dawn at once!"
Hao already felt that something was wrong when he saw this soldier, how could the Praetorian Guards leave Castle of Dawn in this chaotic time?
Until he heard his shout, Hao couldn't believe it, the two were still some distance apart, Hao suddenly rushed to the side of the Praetorian Guard, and shouted, "Say! Is it that the mage regiment is already attacking Castle of Dawn?"
"......" This Praetorian Guard was already covered in blood and had many wounds on his body, he first glanced at Hao's clothes in amazement, and only after confirming Hao's identity did he hear him reply with tears in his eyes, "Dawn Castle has been broken, go and rescue His Majesty!"
