For most people, the main attraction of art is to rediscover what they thought they knew.

- Elfried Jelinek (Austrian female writer, recognized as one of the most important writers in Central Europe)

When the patrol veterans searched the house one by one, Luke, who did not feel that he was in the wrong, did not flinch, but resolutely led the people of Luke's group to confront the veterans, and the angry veterans met the people of Luke's group who were even more angry.

The veterans of the Swift Wind Thieves are so angry because they think they have been treated unfairly, why should they wait to guard the base day and night, and wait for the refugees to do nothing to eat?

The people of Luke's group were even more angry because they also felt that they had been treated unfairly, why should they not eat the precious food that they and others had found by chance, but should hand it over to the veterans to eat?

The veterans of the patrol and the people of the Luke group almost got into a fight in the area where the Luke group lived, and the two sides insulted each other, which not only attracted the people of the nearby groups to watch, but also alarmed Mountbatten, who was patrolling the city wall in place of Montgomery.

Mountbatten, who was guarded by fifty leaders, was the first general of the Swift Wind Thieves to rush to the conflict site, and Mountbatten, who was born in the high nobility of the Empire, only had elite veterans with good combat effectiveness in his eyes, and the refugees of Luke's group naturally would not be taken seriously by him.

This is also a common problem of almost all imperial nobles, they never value the strength of ordinary people, but only regard the people who are accustomed to being ruled as unconscious marionettes;

Unwilling to surrender the grain, Luke did not obey Mountbatten's order to hand over the grain immediately, but led more than 3,000 people in his group, still outside the room where the flour was hidden.

Naturally, the officers and men of the New Army who are scattered all over the base will not be unaware of such a big incident in the base, but it is one thing to know about it, and it is another thing to participate in it.

Why did Adrien choose Luke's group as the target of his provocative plan? Before he knew that Luke himself was a retired captain of the Imperial Army, he knew that Luke's eldest son was now a squadron leader in the New Army.

There is such a special relationship, the other soldiers of the new army do not care about the affairs of Luke's group, Adrien does not know, but Luke's eldest son will definitely not sit idly by, is there a deeper relationship in this world than the love of father and son?

Adrien proved to be the right choice, and while the other Forces nouvelles remained silent, Luke's eldest son and his men, mainly from the Luk's group, left their positions and rushed to the Luk's colony.

The arrival of the squadron of the Forces nouvelles further complicated the already simple confrontation, and the Luke group, under the command of Luke, united with the officers and men of the Forces nouvelles, strongly demanded that Mountbatten and the veterans of the patrol give up the collection of food.

If Luke was willing to beg Mountbatten for mercy in a low voice and admit his mistake, maybe the young Mountbatten might have agreed not to take away the grain, but Luke mistakenly chose to solve the problem by threatening, which directly led to a series of conflicts that followed.

Mountbatten, who had never been threatened since he was a child in the imperial capital where the powerful and powerful gathered, would he compromise with just one Luke? The answer must be no, in the face of Luke's threat, Mountbatten, who was furious, ordered the guards behind him to take down Luke on the spot!

Regardless of whether or not the people of Luke's group had the courage to confront the chieftain's guards, who were armed to the teeth, at least Luke's eldest son would not allow his father to be captured by Mountbatten, so he ordered his squadron to rush forward to protect his father.

The squadron of the New Army, which was not even equipped with weapons, faced the personal guards of the fifty most elite leaders of the Tempest Thieves Regiment, which was a one-sided battle, but fortunately, Mountbatten still had considerable restraint, and did not let the guards kill them, but just let them repel the soldiers of the New Army.

Mountbatten's mind was good, but how could Adrien miss such a good opportunity to stir up trouble? At his beckoning, the ghost of the battlefield under the alias of Luke encouraged the people of Luke's group to participate in the battle against the leader's guards.

The participation of thousands of Lukes forced Mountbatten to send his uncontrollable patrol veterans to join them, and in this way, the four forces of the chief's guards, patrol veterans, the soldiers of the New Army, and the people of the group fought chaotically in the area where the Luke group lived.

It is said that it is a chaotic war, but in fact, the chief's personal guards and patrol veterans have always maintained considerable restraint and have never been ruthless to the officers and men of the new army and the people of Luke's group; therefore, many recruits and civilians were wounded, but none of them were really killed.

This level of conflict was far from what Adrien wanted, and Adrien, who was in the midst of the chaotic crowd, found a suitable opportunity, plunged his dagger into the heart of one of the chief's guards, and then quickly fled away.

The murder of one of the chief's guards on the spot completely angered the other forty-nine chief's guards and patrol veterans, who were not just beaten and did not fight back, and the next moment the sharp sword in their hands stabbed straight into the chests of the soldiers of the New Army and the people of Luk's group.

Having achieved the expected goal, Adrien quietly withdrew from the chaotic area with Lu Jie, without their assistance, those new army soldiers who had just formed an army and the unarmed Luke group were the opponents of the powerful chieftains, personal guards and patrol veterans.

The one-sided massacre killed at least 50 officers and men of the New Army and more than 500 people of the Luke group, and more than 100 young men of the Luke group were selected to join the New Army, and the young and strong Luke groups distributed in other squadrons rushed to reinforce the Luke group.

Many officers and men of the New Army, who did not know why, joined the melee when they saw their comrades-in-arms taking up arms, and they joined the melee in a similar manner; more and more officers and men of the New Army joined the battle, causing the casualties of the chief's personal guards and patrol veterans to rise rapidly.

It was not only the soldiers of the new army who could rush to participate in this melee, but also the elite veterans who were also in the base flocked to the melee, and by the time the iron-faced Montgomery arrived, the scale of the melee had become out of control.

The red-eyed elite veterans and the recruits who fought desperately and bloodily regarded each other as their enemies of life and death, and their subordinates showed no mercy, and in the face of such chaos, Montgomery, who was angry and sad, could only end this chaotic war as much as possible.

With Montgomery, the leader, personally giving the order, more than 1,000 veterans of the war fought and retreated, and more than 4,000 recruits who participated in the war with heavy casualties did not dare to catch up, but just looked at the retreating veterans with hatred.

No matter what the cause of this chaotic war is, and no matter who is right and who is wrong between the veteran and the new recruit, with the outbreak of this chaotic war, the veterans and recruits of the Wind Thieves have completely lost their trust in each other, and it is completely impossible to twist them into a rope!
