"Chapter 363: Overwhelming"

''Run, the rebels are coming!'' ‘’

The avenues of the central city of the kingdom were now blocked by chaotic crowds and carriages, and in the distance against the smoke of the city, many carriages full of nobles poured out of the city gates like refugees.

The other day these aristocrats had been sitting in chairs in their castles and estates, talking with other friends in the upper echelons of the enclosure with wine glasses, and laughing at the hillbilly rebels in the south. They received first-hand information, believing that it was only a matter of time before the rebellion in the South was swept away in the face of the kingdom's newly-acquired massive floating warships. At that time, they even began to consider the lost lands of the southern aristocracy, for them, it was a great opportunity to expand their family domain. Officially, they will send out the elite forces in their family in order to reap enough benefits in the next war.

But what happened next was completely unexpected, and instead of news of victory, not of the triumphant knights, but of the terrified defeated soldiers at the front, and the Skeleton Legion and the Heavy Armours of the Free Alliance that followed.

In less than a day, the situation was completely turned upside down, and the lost territories that had been regained were lost again, falling faster than the kingdom could conquer them. What was even more terrifying was that the Liberty League army in the south had no intention of stopping, and the troops continued to advance, and the two small grain forts behind the White Oak and six large and small cities fell within three days, and crushed any forces that dared to resist. The flying army of the undead launched an attack on the city in the middle of the kingdom, flying through the air like a demon, and the kingdom troops and the lord's private army that were defending the city were unable to raise their heads.

The mercenary force is also gone, and the leader of the rebel army demands that the mercenaries in the kingdom not intervene in this war, and uses coercion and high commissions to reach an agreement with several mercenary groups in the kingdom, except for a small number of mercenaries who are still in the kingdom's army and are absorbed by the kingdom, the rest of the mercenaries refuse to accept the royal family's employment. This alone reduced the resistance of the Freedom Alliance in advancing by a quarter.

The subic nobles, who had been proud of themselves before, had no dignity in front of the commoners, and their fear of the rebels finally exceeded their faces, and after seeing the undead flying in the sky and the power of the artillery on the aircraft, they chose to abandon the territories and fiefs they had previously claimed to protect, and fled with their valuable finances.

They are aristocrats, even if they lose their land now, they can live a worry-free life in the royal capital by relying on the inheritance of their ancestors and the income from years of exploitation, and as for the untouchables who are exploited by them and "protected" by them, they can be discarded at any time.

"Idiot! Don't go yet! ”

The nobles, dressed in splendid costumes and sitting in the wide and comfortable carriages, were constantly cursing and urging the coachmen in front. At this time, the carriage was clogged up on the road, and the ground was littered with broken carriage fragments and large salutes thrown by other nobles. Those velvet sofas with gold trim used to be the owner's capital to show off, but at this time, it was thrown on the road and no one cared about it. There are many more items like this, all of which were left by the nobles in order to leave as soon as possible.

But how fast can they go? The road, which was not smooth in the first place, was suddenly blocked by chaotic crowds and wagon caravans, and the nobles and private armies of various families were unable to move at this time, and even armed clashes broke out.

The smoke on the city is getting higher and denser, and the commotion of the nobles is getting bigger and bigger, and from the horizon on the other side of the city, a huge army is getting closer, and a large number of undead troops are flying over the city, this time they are not just harassing and destroying the city defenses, they are smashing into some buildings from the air, screaming to kill the guards, and surround all the nobles and officials who are still in the city.

The strong barbarians slammed open the gates, and the huge army of skeletons quickly poured into the city, and in a matter of minutes, the oak banner on the city's head fell to the ground, engulfed in flames. The royal guard, armed with a thick iron shield and a sharp steel sword, kicked open the gate of the castle and rushed into the chaotic castle, solemnly announcing in front of the stunned castle steward that the castle and the city now belonged to Lord Li Xiaopan of the Freedom Alliance.

This kind of scene did not only appear in the vicinity of this city, in just one week, tens of thousands of troops of the Freedom Alliance captured more than ten kingdom cities, and tens of thousands of square kilometers of land changed owners in the blink of an eye. In the west and east of the Subic Kingdom, the two troops from Zeng Qiang and Fang Zi also attacked the Subic border, and the city defense on the eastern border was directly defeated under the terrifying firepower of Fang Zi, while the border defenders in the west were all killed by Zeng Qiang's commandos and special forces in one night, and a thousand elite soldiers from the forest were lightly armed, constantly attacking inside the kingdom, and crushing all the troops in the western part of the kingdom.

The dismal whiteness of the kingdom's army, the rapid attack of the Southern Freedom Alliance, and the most terrifying news, that is, the powerful squad of dragons, completely shocked the entire kingdom, and no matter how much Salondron suppressed the news, it could not change the current situation. Public opinion was completely boiling, and both nobles and commoners felt a terrible threat from the south, which was simply suffocating, and after the defeat of the Great Army, few people knew how to stop all this.

The speed of the Freedom Alliance's march was very terrifying, all resistance along the way was quickly destroyed, the southern cities of Subic were basically occupied, and the main force led by Li Xiaopan even directly attacked the middle of the kingdom, like a sharp knife into the hinterland of the kingdom, and the banner of the alliance was getting closer and closer to Mantas.

Whether it was Zeng Qiang or Fang Zi, they were always staring at the huge land and resources of the Subic Kingdom, and the rewards brought to them by the last battle had already tasted the sweetness, whether it was the high-quality saltpeter ore that could almost be used directly, or the abundant life energy, it had greatly accelerated their development. And for Fangzi, population is also a very critical resource. The blast furnace in her factory can smelt close to a ton of crude steel every day, which is more than half a month of output in a big city like Mantas. He can join his natives with crafted armor weapons, and the armed forces assist his own firepower.

And once they experience the benefits, they can't stop attacking.

The outside of the kingdom is very dangerous, and on the inside, it has also set off countless waves. The royal family began to lose control of the situation, and external forces began to intervene in this civil war in the kingdom.
