Chapter 378: Massacre
However, last year's most brilliant one was the last performance of the story of the great victory in the north that quelled the war in the steppe twenty years ago, and the float made His Majesty the Holy Emperor very happy to see it, and it is said that each actor was rewarded with 100 gold coins.

I don't know what new tricks Count Li Weikang will come up with this year? Li Weikang was His Majesty the Holy Emperor's classmate when he was young, and he was also in charge of the royal family's industry, and he was the number one in the imperial capital...... Hey?
Lao Wei was looking back for Count Li Weikang's parade float this year, and he found it effortlessly.
This is already strange. Because according to the status of the Count Li Weikang family chamber of commerce, it is definitely second to none in the imperial capital. They should be at the end of the line. But the strange thing is that this year's arrangement is different, the floats of the earl's family are closely lined up behind the Silver Feather Knight Battalion, and they are actually the first folk floats to appear? Old Wei sighed in his heart.
And what surprised him even more was that this year's team of floats at the earl's house was too strange.
Boy.
What a float this is. In terms of volume, they are actually bigger than last year's flowing stages. It's just that it is bare, and there is no scenery at all, not even the most basic flower ribbons. It's just that the wood is used to create the appearance of animals, there are elephants, rhinoceros, dragon lizards, toothed horses, all of them are huge animal figures. There are four wheels underneath that are able to push around.
Old Wei's eyes widened, this is the float of the earl's house this year? Does he want these huge wooden beasts to dance for the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother? Hell......
Just when he was thinking wildly, suddenly, in the distance ahead, at the location of the Triumph Square under the imperial city, there was a sudden earth-shattering exclamation. The screams of countless people converged and came from afar, like the deafening buzz of tens of thousands of bees flying low in the air.
There was no joy or celebration in the voice, but it was full of surprise...... Even fear.
What is going on? Lao Wei subconsciously straightened his spine, and his subordinates around him also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on in Triumph Square.
But at this moment, there was a loud horn sound from the square.
As a veteran, Lao Wei's face changed suddenly when he heard the sound of the horn...... What kind of trumpet is this?
The sound is two long and one short......
Damn it. This is the Stormtroopers. The birthday celebration of the Holy Empress Dowager blows the trumpet! What is this for????
Just as Old Wei was stunned, suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation and angry roars from the front of the Silver Feather Knight Camp queue. The scene was suddenly chaotic.
"Killed. Killed!"
"The City Guard and the Guards have rebelled!"
"These people are crazy!"
The originally neat queue suddenly became chaotic. Before Lao Wei could come to his senses, he suddenly saw that the Guards formation lined up in front of them for review, after hearing the charge, suddenly the whole team turned around in unison.
The heavily armed and murderous Guards bared their fangs like poisonous snakes. Everyone pulled out their sharpened swords and slashed at the unprepared Silver Feather Knight behind! And the three thousand city guards at the front did the same thing: they turned around, drew their long swords, merged with the guards, and attacked wildly towards the square where the Silver Feather Knight camp was located.
As soon as the two phalanxes came into contact, the silver-feathered knight phalanx, which was caught off guard, suddenly collapsed.
Although there were not many of them, and although they were also the elite of the elite, because they were defenseless, they were even last in line anyway, and many of the silver-feathered knights had already lost their minds after standing for a morning, and some even closed their eyes and pretended to sleep. was killed by an enemy who was originally a colleague, and many people immediately became revenants under the sword before they had time to react.
What's even more tragic is that in order to "look good" during the review, although these three thousand silver-feathered knights are carefully selected to be the most powerful and elite, the weapons they wear are all the kind of slender and slender swords used for ceremonies, and such swords are generally worn by nobles as ornaments. When encountering the enemy, he was slashed by the standard sword of the ground army in the hands of those rebels who suddenly killed, and it was instantly cut in two.
The most unfortunate thing is that the "beautiful" armor on the Silver Feather Knight has no defensive effect at all. The other party is obviously also an elite person, and often the long sword can easily penetrate the armor on the silver-feathered knight's body while swinging.
There was already a lot of chaos all around. Countless onlookers let out a frightened cry and ran in all directions, and the soldiers who maintained order also divided into two waves in an orderly manner, one wave scattered the frightened people like a duck, and the other wave quickly formed an encirclement around the Silver Feather Knight.
Everything seems to have been carefully prepared.
Corpses had fallen to the ground, and beneath the beautiful silver armor had become lifeless and mutilated bodies. The skulls rolled to the ground, and the bright red blood stained the cyan stone pavement, as well as the carefully prepared silver feathers, which were also dyed a terrible red with blood......
Lao Wei retreated uncontrollably with this wave of turbulence, after a short period of chaos, these three thousand silver feather knights were carefully selected elite after all, and after heavy casualties, they had already retreated in an organized manner, and even some officers led everyone to hide behind the floats of the folk chambers of commerce in the back.
The bows and crossbows equipped by the rebels were too damaging to the silver-feathered knights, and only with the help of those floats in the back like long dragons could they find a favorable terrain to resist.
The silver-feathered knights had retreated around the long line of floats prepared by Count Li Weikang behind them, and the rebel phalanx began to disperse, organizing themselves in groups of several people to kill the remaining silver-feathered knights as much as they could.
And Lao Wei was accompanied by more than a dozen people, and he just saw his boss, a knight at the peak of qi induction, who was pierced through the throat by an arrow from the other party, and when he fell to the ground, he was still staring at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Lao Wei was completely stupid, he just relied on instinct to retreat, his ears were full of screams after the fight, and blood splattered everywhere. Lao Wei resisted the opponent's sword just now, but the fancy thin sword in his hand was cut off by the opponent at once, if he hadn't dodged quickly, I am afraid that he would have been in a different place.
Just as hundreds of people were resisting around the float of Lord Earl in the back, the last talisman was finally thrown out for these poor silver-feathered knights.
All the wooden "floats" in the shape of giant beasts, suddenly on the surface, pieces of wood were turned over from the inside, revealing a dense window the size of a human head, and then the metallic cold light stretched out from the inside...... That's the arrow.
Woohoo woo blah.
The seemingly non-threatening wood beast was instantly transformed into a killing weapon that harvested life. Countless sharp arrows shot out of the window, and the Silver Feather Knight, who had been resisting with his back to the wood beast, was finally destroyed.
The first wave of arrows killed and injured almost half of the Silver Feather Knights, and some of the rest rushed out with red eyes and fought hard, and soon died under the chaotic sword, and some simply threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. It's a pity that the other party has no intention of leaving prisoners, and often those who just kneel down are immediately cut off by the rebels who rushed in front of them with a sword.
Screams. Screams of despair were everywhere. Even at the last moment of death, many people do not understand: why is this?
Lao Wei felt that his eyes were red. There were only three people left around him, and he had just picked up the sword left by a city guard who had died under the hands of the Silver Feather Knight from the ground, cut down two more people, and shouted loudly, "Run." Scatter and run away. How many can you run! The city guards and guards rebelled. They rebelled!"
After all, he was a very talented officer, and in the face of life and death, a faint layer of mercury-like light faintly erupted from his long sword.
True Yuan Sword Qi.
A low-level officer, at such a life-and-death juncture, was forced out of his desperate fighting spirit, he was originally at the peak of the qi induction period, but in this case, he broke through the long-standing bottleneck and became a master of the foundation building period.
However, this was also his misfortune, and the other party immediately noticed that there was a layer of mercury-like sword qi on Old Wei Jian's body, which was a sign of the formation of the True Yuan...... Two powerful officers in the city guard immediately surrounded him, they were both masters of the foundation building period, Lao Wei was one against two, and soon fell behind, and in less than a moment, he was hit by two swords, one of which almost pierced his shoulder.
Lao Wei let out a roar like a beast, and he pounced on the enemy in front of him with red eyes, and the long sword shot out of his hand, piercing directly into the opponent's throat...... However, at the same moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Looking down, an arrow had been pierced into his heart, the black arrow feathers had been dyed red by the blood he spewed, Lao Wei's throat made a few "gurgling" sounds, and his hands tried to grab up, as if he wanted to grab something, and finally fell down unwillingly.
Before closing his eyes, a thought suddenly popped up in Lao Wei's heart:
Your Excellency Baron...... What a wonderful name that would be......
The doors of the "wooden beast floats" of the earl's house were all opened, and a large number of soldiers ran out of them, all uniformly dressed in light armor and holding bows and arrows. They immediately united with the rebels who were chasing the Silver Feather Knights.
Melee has a coalition of City Guards and Guards, as well as archers shooting from behind......
Freedom Square has completely turned into a Shura hell. The three thousand iron cavalry of the Silver Feather Knight Battalion, if it is under normal circumstances, may not be able to deal with the two infantry phalanxes in front of them, you must know that in battle, the cavalry has a natural advantage against the infantry. However, under the mental calculation or unintentional, their combat strength was only 30% of the usual at most, and the scene turned into a one-sided massacre.
