Act108 Night of Turmoil IX.
In the middle of the streets, the monstrous mob went on a rampage, and pedestrians and carriages could not avoid it, shouting and fleeing in all directions—
Pedestrians may have found a suitable opportunity to escape the danger by hiding in some of the nearby buildings, but as soon as the passengers in the carriage jumped out of the carriage, swords and axes were already under their noses—
Forced to helplessly, these poor people handed over their money and belongings, and even more unfortunately, some unfortunate fellows not only lost their own property, but also lost their lives after encountering this group of thugs, the thugs took the money bag in one hand, and waved the knife in the other, and the sound of crying came from the splash of blood, but this sound made the laughter of the thugs even more crazy.
The innocent maidens and some good-looking ladies did not have the claws of these thugs, and they ran desperately, but how could ordinary weak women compare to strong men, and the laughter of the thugs became more and more triumphant after the thugs who drove these poor women into a corner from which to escape.
No one is stopping this.
For the soldiers who had maintained law and order had rushed to the city lord's palace, and in the city the oppressive atmosphere on the eve of the war had been suppressed for too long, and everyone's nerves were tightened, and the riots began in a certain street, and then, very soon, like sparks, all sorts of absurd riots were staged in every part of the city.
The idle mercenaries in the tavern ushered in a hot business at this time, and they were overwhelmed by waves of employers, and the few mercenaries with a sense of morality barely complied with their obligations, and they began to take up arms and protect their employers-
In the shops, restaurants, and some entertainment venues in the city, mercenaries and thugs confronted each other, and the sound of noise and abuse was endless-
However, there are some clever people among the mobsters, some of the leaders offer higher prices in order to buy the mercenaries, and the mercenaries are ready to move in the face of huge amounts of money, and both sides know very well that in such a chaotic situation, it is obvious that more wealth can be made by putting aside the so-called morality and conscience and working hard.
The evil ** drives people's hearts, and the civilization of human beings seems to be forgotten at this moment, in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, the white pillar of light gradually dims, and the continuous fire spreads from the street where the City Lord's Mansion is located to the nearby neighborhood-
The whole city is infested with a herd of wild beasts in human skin, and order and law are ignored and trampled on, replaced by the primitive law of the jungle -
It was the night of unrest in Ensada.
However, there must be a reason for the incident, if analyzed from another angle, the generation of a turmoil must have an initiator, it is true that the change of the city lord's mansion is a major inducement, but more importantly, it is from the ill-intentioned people lurking in the city-
Every city has a dark side of the people of one kind or another, and this group of people already knows what is happening in the city, and there is no doubt that the city has lost its lord, and the soldiers who maintain daily law and order have no time to care about it at this moment, and it is a good time for this group of people to make a rebellion-
Among them, the thugs came from all walks of life, including some scoundrels who were originally ruffians, as well as many down-and-out low-level mercenaries, and some unemployed vagrants who also joined the turmoil, and they shouted excitedly, and when they saw every frightened and frightened appearance in front of them, their emotions became more and more excited, and these little people almost never imagined that they could have this opportunity to indulge one or two-
In fact, they don't know that all these riots are actually under the manipulation of some people with ulterior motives-
They seemed to have forgotten the consequences of this series of actions, and although Ensada had lost its lord, it was not without knights and nobles who guarded the territory, and fifteen kilometers east of Ensada there was a regiment of hoplites of three thousand men stationed in Morin.
But at this time, these people obviously only care about their own pleasure.
After a fledgling tavern was thrown a torch by a mob, and the wooden structure of the building itself began to burn, fires broke out in more and more places in the city, all of which happened in just half an hour, and in the direction of the city lord's mansion, the officers of the various teams had already received the news of a riot in the city, and since it was useless to stay here, these officers quickly made a decision, and led their men and horses to all the neighborhoods—
Everywhere they went, there were sky-high fires, and from time to time they could see the corpses of pedestrians in the streets, and the sight of fire and blood hit their sight, and some soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes—
Even in the years of the "Fog Pine War", as the hub connecting Nogo and Lazis, the prosperous and rich city of Ensada has never suffered such a catastrophe, the city originally had strong high walls and elite troops, and the developed commercial trade made it a paradise that the people of the Northland yearn for.
All this was true for the aristocracy and the wealthy class, but heaven and hell were separated by a wall, and Ensada seemed to be a real hell on this night.

The flames crackled and burned, the sound of knots on the wood exploding in the heat, and the flames had spread from the surrounding buildings—
The thin girl glanced out of the window, her face quickly turning pale and frightened, and though she had the heart to flee, the mob on the street outside had wiped out what little courage she had—
What to do?
What am I going to do?
No one told the maiden what to do—
She felt her heart pounding, and in this old room, there was her bedridden father, a man who described him as dying, but at this time, she tried to lift his father out of the bed, but suddenly found that her heart was beating faster.
Footsteps.
And the sound of screaming.
She was familiar with these voices, and she knew that the slightly hoarse woman's voice was none other than Aunt Thea, who lived downstairs—
Aunt Thea runs a small vegetable business in the city's market, and her husband is a middle-aged man with a black birthmark on his left cheek and a gentle smile. The man had helped her buy medicine for her father several times, but when she heard a muffled snort and Aunt Thea's hoarse cry, she knew that the man had died at the hands of the mob.
When the girl heard these movements, her whole body couldn't help but tremble.
She admits that she was terrified of what was happening—
The helpless girl's eyes widened, and she came to the windowsill again, and a leaping flame had drifted in front of her eyes. This is a civilian apartment in the city that has been around for quite a few years, but at this time, this apartment has not escaped the fate of being attacked by the thugs, and with the approach of the footsteps, one door after another was kicked and fluttered.
She turned suddenly.
Because, she heard that the door of her house also ushered in the atrocities of this group of people. I want to talk about "Gross the Thief" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
