Chapter 85: The Undercurrent Surging (6)
"Boom! Thundered! "Even in the living room, Duke Edward could feel the shocking crash.
"My lord! Why don't we go out? The butler standing by was a little puzzled why his master had stayed at home and not evacuated the dangerous mansion.
"My butler! Don't worry, London's MPs won't sit idly by! ”
"Besides, it's even more dangerous to get out! At least there are dozens of guards and walls to block one or two! Duke Edward sat calmly in his chair, answered his butler's question very calmly, and did not forget to drink the tea in his hand.
"That's right! Send some people to check the fence and prevent them from climbing in! ”
"Yes! I'll arrange it! Hearing that his master was indifferent, the butler could only obey his orders!
The butler turned and left, and went to complete the task assigned by the duke!
In front of the door, a group of Soros people were there, staring closely at the thick gate, speechless!
Behind the door, the stone carvings and the disorganized wood were all blocked behind the door, and the impact of the wooden pillars made them tremble and retreat.
Five or six sturdy guards pressed their hands against each other, stopping the receding blockage.
At this time, the Warwick Earl's Court, our Lord Earl, because of the distance, and has always maintained the good habit of sending people to monitor the Duke's Palace, so the people who watched saw the vast number of more than a thousand people, hurried back to report.
After receiving the warning, he hurriedly packed up and fled to Westminster Palace, which is the Houses of Parliament.
As for the maids and servants, they also dispersed, and there was not a trace of anyone in sight.
So, when Field, who has always been trusted by Soros and known as a beloved left-hander, arrives here with a legion of nearly 500 men, he sees the Count's Mansion with a closed door.
With his pirates, Field directly slammed the door of the Earl's Court with human flesh, and to Field's surprise, the door was opened by him in less than a minute.
The cautious Field first sent two little Hello into the Earl's Court to inquire about it, and in less than five minutes, after getting a signal of safety, he led the group into the Earl's Court of Warwick.
Passing through the gate, what caught Field's eye was a statue of King Arthur's prancing horse. Of course, as a member of the English, he had certainly heard the story of growing up almost with the English.
Then he crossed the flowerbed and came to the hall, where the floor was covered with tiles of various patterns and the tower-shaped candlesticks with white candles hanging on the wall, which was the first time he had seen so many white candles.
Stopping his men who wanted to take the candles off, he led a few hundred people to the room area.
"You guys are looking for it separately, and you have to be fast!" Looking at the Earl's Court, where no one stopped him, Field knew that the target had escaped this time, but he still had to find it, and maybe he couldn't find anything.
Field looked boredly at the beautiful pictures of angels and the Virgin and Child at the top of the hall, and the Catholic believers couldn't help but be stunned, for the first time he had an intuitive impression of the Virgin and the Son in his heart.
This can't help but make him firm in his beliefs, and this is the reason why he did not dissuade his boss Soros from accepting this mission.
Next to the Palace of Westminster, there is a London City Hall made of white marble, which is brightly lit at this time.
Many members of the autonomous committee are anxiously walking around, not arguing loudly, and those who understand know that this is shirking responsibility.
"That's it! Gentlemen! Now is not the time to discuss responsibility, we should now proceed by sending the militia to save the Duke! Otherwise, will any of you bear the consequences? ”
The nominal Lord of London, the Grand Businessman Spall, urged the representatives of the citizens who were arguing before his eyes.
Hearing that His Excellency the Mayor, who has always been known for his kindness, lost his temper, everyone was speechless for a while.
"That's it! Since you don't have any opinions, we'll immediately send troops into the noble quarter! ”
His Excellency Mayor Spall, who had a big belly, was a rare murderer, and urgently dispatched the militia.
In fact, everyone present had no opinion to speak of, and obediently passed Spal's decision.
After all, if the aristocratic lords made a mistake, they would be tied to the cross and hanged.
After more than ten minutes of impact, the door of Duke Edward's mansion was already in tatters, revealing statues and wood blocked behind the door.
Finally, "Boom! With a loud bang, a big hole was broken in the door, and Soros, who was watching the battle, also smiled.
He waved his hand, and the little ones behind him rushed up, burrowed through the doorway, and entered the Duke's palace in a stream.
The pirates were greeted by the guards of the Duke's Palace in armor.
Unlike the pirates with short swords and sticks, these knightly trained guards held spears in formation, and the muzzles of their spears flickered to stop the jubilant pirates.
"Brothers, rush me! Killing a squire rewards one pound, and capturing the Duke of Somerset alive rewards one hundred pounds! ”
Soros, who was standing behind, watched his team stagnate, and hurriedly issued incentives, so that the troops that had just stopped moved forward quickly.
However, the performance of short weapons was undoubtedly exposed at this time.
As soon as the pirates' daggers swung forward, the spears of the guards reached their throats and bodies, and in a matter of seconds, a dozen people lost their lives.
After being stunned for a while, the pirates accepted this reality, but they collided with the muzzle of the spear again under the reward that made the eyes red, and the push of the brothers behind them.
In less than a minute, nearly twenty more lives were lost, as well as seven or eight wounded.
However, the pirates finally reached the front of the guards and used their hand-to-hand combat to their advantage.
Seeing this, the guards threw down their spears, drew their short swords from their waists, and fought the pirates.
At this time, the advantage of the pirates in numbers was fully exerted, and wave after wave of pirates poured in, and the guards had to prevent the pirates from sneaking into the Duke's Palace, so they were exhausted.
In less than ten minutes, more than thirty guards had already lost a dozen of them, and several others were wounded.
"Brothers, get out!" When the guards couldn't hold it anymore, they suddenly heard the leader's withdrawal, and their pressure was suddenly relieved.
"Brothers! The militiamen of London are coming! It's time for us to fight back! The tall guard, sharp-eyed, saw the London militia dressed in red in the distance.
Soros was annoyed at this time, he didn't expect the Duke's Palace to be so difficult to manage, and the guards so difficult to deal with, so that it dragged until the arrival of the rescuers, so he hurriedly called the pirates to retreat.
Under the fire of the militia and guards, the pirates' ranks became even more chaotic.
Just when Soros felt in danger, he suddenly saw Field's group who had found nothing.
