Chapter 273: "Uprising"
As time passed, two days later, the city guards in the medium-sized towns of Kegistan were all in vain, and without the restraint of the city guards, the first to rampant was the already serious criminal activities in the city.
Stealing, robbing, murdering, and even in broad daylight on the streets, there are people who dare to draw swords and fire in the streets.
All kinds of evil acts are constantly prairing in the city, and no one has come to stop them.
Most of the nobles in the city have personal guards, and they have at least two brushes of their own, and the impact of these criminal activities on them is very limited, but the ordinary civilians and refugees who have entered the city are different, and they have almost become the most direct victims of these criminal activities.
Some refugees and poor people are forced to join criminal groups to commit roadblock robberies in order to make ends meet, while others have their eyes on other refugees after being looted by robbers and with nothing left.
All of a sudden, all seven medium-sized towns in Kegistan were in chaos, full of robbers with sharp blades and green eyes, and the streets were in ruins.
The civilization and pride of the people of Kagestan have become worthless in the face of survival, and the helpless old and weak women and children have to hide in the dark sewers and make a living by picking up garbage and filth.
Seeing the chaos in their cities, some of them simply did not join the council, hiding in their mansions and letting everything from the outside world go unchecked.
The plans of the lords, who were still hopeful of restoring the order of the city, to assemble the noble guards to act as temporary city guards, were also failed to materialize under the fierce resistance of the nobles, and for a time everyone in the medium-sized towns was in danger, and the contradictions between the commoners and the nobles also intensified to the point of irreconcilability.
It was at this time that the "heroes" who had previously "dared to reveal the truth" stood up again, and they called for the civilians and refugees in the city to unite and attack the nobles in the city, trying to force them to hand over food and goods to "save the people of Kegistan who were in danger".
Naturally, the nobles everywhere could not be easily subdued, and they organized their own guards to confront the fanned people head-on.
The two sides gradually began to form a situation of tension and incompatibility, and at this time, it only took a little spark to detonate the complete confrontation between the nobles and commoners in the entire kingdom.
And this "Mars" soon burst out.
On the evening of the third day, when tensions escalated across Kagestan, two noble guards in Nasdr, a medium-sized town known throughout the kingdom of Kagestan for its high-quality minerals, were guarded by a group of thieves who tried to climb over the wall and enter the hospital to steal food.
Since these noble guards were already extremely nervous by the recent series of events, they immediately overreacted when they saw that one of the thieves was holding a kitchen knife and was about to rummage into the mansion.
Two sharp arrows burst through the air, killing two of them before the thieves could react, one of whom was a child who had just turned ten.
The severity of the situation escalated as the thieves staggered back to the camp with the child's body in their arms, and hundreds of civilians surrounded the nobleman's mansion that night, instigated by two disguised True God cultists, with all the weapons they could get their hands on.
Armed with "weapons" such as kitchen knives, pitchforks, and mine hoes, the commoners demanded that the nobleman immediately hand over the murderer and all his own food stocks, or else his house would be set on fire.
And this nobleman is obviously also a tiger guy, in the face of this situation, this nobleman didn't even ask, and directly ordered his own escort to kill any "mob" who dared to approach within 100 meters of the mansion!
As a result, an incident that could have been resolved peacefully through negotiation and local law in peacetime turned into a deadly bloody conflict due to the current tensions, and the guards of the noble family, after receiving the order of the head of the family, immediately launched a frenzied rain of arrows on all the civilians in their field of vision!
The civilians who were attacked suffered heavy casualties, a total of more than 20 people died on the spot under the rain of arrows of the noble guards, and more than 40 people suffered serious arrow wounds and finally died because they could not receive timely treatment because of the lack of medicine.
At this point, things finally got out of hand......
When all the civilians and refugees in Nasder heard this, their hearts burned with rage, and after a little instigation by someone who was well-intentioned, the mining city finally became the first powder keg to be ignited among the seven medium-sized towns in Kegistan!
In the early hours of the next morning, thousands of civilians and refugees gathered and surrounded the nobles' mansions once again, armed with everything they had looted from the city that could be used as weapons, and this time, they also included all the neighboring nobles' mansions.
After an impassioned "mobilization speech" by the leading agitators, this rabble of artisans, miners, craftsmen and farmers was completely transformed into a murderous mob.
They relied on their numbers to forcibly withstand the attacks of the nobles' guards, launched a fierce attack on the nobles' mansions, and finally toppled the doors of the mansions after paying the price of more than 100 deaths.
The remnants of the aristocratic guards only put up a little resistance and scattered, allowing the mob legions to storm the gates of their master's house......
For the next hour, the main house of the noble house resounded with the terrible cries of the women and the twisted screams of the men, until it was nearly noon, when the leader of the mob walked out of the door of the house with the heads of a man, three women and four still dripping blood......
From then on, the rabble, made up of civilians and refugees, turned into mobs, and after tasting the sweetness of the first noble mansion, they immediately set their sights on the other noble mansions in the city.
Soon, the entire noble family of Nasder City was wiped out, and all the other noble mansions were destroyed in the next few days, except for the local lord's mansion, which no one dared to touch because of the presence of a professional as a guard.
The leaders of the rioters, at the suggestion of his "military advisors", distributed all the goods and food they had looted from the mansions of the nobles to the refugees and civilians in Nasder who had not participated in the riots, an act that soon won the local population a huge support.
The riots in Nasder City were quickly spread by the cultists with ulterior motives as a "victory for the people", and a large number of imitators quickly appeared in the remaining six medium-sized cities in the Kingdom of Kaigistan - and even one large city.
The entire kingdom of Kegistan was instantly embroiled in a huge "uprising" vortex.
And beyond this maelstrom, the True God cultists have been waiting for the opportunity... It's finally here!
