Chapter 342: Arson
After successfully entering Gravel City, Rooney took off his Bucks Federation's military uniform.
The two of them changed into the usual light armor and walked swaggering on the main road.
Alan and Rooney are both over 1.80 meters tall, and they are also dressed as mercenaries, which is not too eye-catching.
"Rooney, why have I never heard of this man, who is the supreme commander of the garrison of the Gravel Castle?"
Rooney said disdainfully: "A fat man who only knows how to spend time and drink, I saw this person in the northern diocese ten years ago, and wanted to get the holy water baptism of the northern cardinal, and was kicked out. β
"Ten years is enough time to change a person." Alan shook his head and said, "If it's really a waste, how can it be possible to sit in such an important town as Gravel Castle." β
Rooney shrugged his shoulders and said, "I heard Princess Cana say that Monray's deceased father was quite talented in military affairs, and he had been in charge of the Gravel Fort for generations, and soon after Monray took over the family, Blackjack made a coup d'Γ©tat, and this dead fat man stood up and shouted for Blackjack as soon as possible." β
Alan frowned and said: "It seems that this guy is now considered a close confidant of Blackjack, and he should also have some military talents, otherwise it would be impossible for him to tear his face with the Holy See and still sit on the front line of the Gravel Castle." β
Rooney smiled and didn't comment, but the teasing look in his eyes was revealed.
Alan wondered, is this guy named Meng Rui so unbearable? Rooney had seen this man ten years ago, and what a bad first impression it had to make.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, a noisy sound came, and Alan and Rooney followed the sound to see that a tavern not far away was full of mercenaries.
The owner of the tavern is estimated to have retreated to the hinterland of the Duchy of Sadido with his family, and the venue has also been requisitioned by the military, providing mercenaries as a place to live temporarily.
Dozens of mercenaries, you push and shove, as if they are arguing about something.
Rooney and Allen are both people who join in the fun, and both of them are masters of the arts, and they are bold and bold to push everyone away, and they are not afraid of being exposed.
It turned out that there was friction between two different mercenaries, but they were relatively restrained, but they just scolded and pushed and pushed with Mulberry in their mouths, and did not use weapons.
The two of them listened for a long time before they understood that one of the mercenaries was a local mercenary from Sadido, and the other was a mercenary from the Kennic Republic.
The two mercenaries were hired by the local city lord Meng Rui to defend the Rubble Fort at a high price, and there was friction because they wanted to grab a bounty mission.
"You foreign dogs, you are also worthy of our Sadido to fight the autumn wind and blind your eyes."
"If Sadido dares to publicly declare his independence from the leadership of the Holy See, then don't ask us foreign mercenaries to help, waste."
"Who the fuck are you talking about, Kennick Republic is not the same as following behind our ass."
"Fart, we're just for freedom, who the hell is like you, taking advantage of the four major legions to go to the Great Wilderness to declare independence, why don't you dare to declare independence when the Holy Mountain Legion hasn't left?"
Rooney put his head next to Allen and whispered anxiously, "When will this be noisy before I do it, I'm in a hurry." β
Alan rolled his eyes, this guy is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he whispered helplessly: "Then you can fill the fire." β
The veins in Rooney's excited brain began to congest, and he ran to the back of the crowd and shouted, "Kendik's puppies are notoriously bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, don't fight against the Holy See when the time comes." β
Who knew that after Rooney shouted this sentence, everyone present closed their mouths and looked in the direction of the sound, but fortunately, Rooney reacted quickly and acted well, pretending to be at a loss and looking around.
Alan knew it in his heart, it seemed that whether these mercenaries or grassroots soldiers, it was not their original intention for the authorities to declare independence, but they were forcibly tied to the chariot by the authorities, and the Holy See had ruled the southern side of the continent for nearly a thousand years, even if the four major legions were already far away in the sky, everyone did not dare to blatantly talk about attacking the Holy Mountain, although everyone knew in their hearts that sooner or later there would be a battle with the Holy Mountain.
Walking to the back of the Kennick Republic mercenary team, Alan shouted: "Brothers, Sadido's bastards say that we are soft eggs, that we are ass worms, and that we are grass on the wall, copy the guys and fuck them." β
After saying that, everyone was unmoved, and it seemed that everyone was very restrained and didn't want to make a big deal about it.
Alan had these concerns, so he pushed everyone away and rushed up and kicked over a Sadido mercenary with one kick.
Rooney and Alan had already cooperated tacitly, snatching the giant hammer of a mercenary next to him and rushing forward, directly knocking down a piece of mercenaries from the Kennick Republic.
The two gangs were dumbfounded, how could they fight while scolding and scolding.
However, seeing that their own people were being bullied, a group of mercenaries who licked blood with knives and heads also had their tempers up, and they didn't care what allies and like-minded partners who overthrew the holy mountain, so they picked up the guy and rushed up.
Alan and Rooney are like tigers into the flock, one picks the mercenaries of the Principality of Sadido and the other picks the mercenaries of the Kennik Republic.
More and more mercenaries are joining the warband, and they don't ask why, as long as they are not wearing their own costumes, they are enemies, and they are clamoring to fight.
For a while, the streets were full of shouting and shouting, and the patrol team of the gravel fort who rushed to hear the news saw that it was useless to shout and break their voices, so they had to run back to the nearest barracks to prepare to call people.
Rooney, as a magister, basically belongs to the kind that has gone astray and is gone, all of them are in their fifties, not to mention the muscles, and the melee ability is not weaker than the elite warriors of the barbarians.
Not to mention Allen, when he was in a foreign security company in his last life, fights in bars and nightclubs were commonplace, not to mention that after crossing, melee was basically commonplace.
Even if you don't need to stimulate the barbarian battle ring and dragon power blessing, you can kick over several people with one kick.
In just a few breaths, there were no less than fifty mercenaries lying on the ground, rolling and wailing all over the ground.
A group of onlookers found a strange phenomenon, that is, the two people with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most aggressive among the two groups of mercenaries were like not seeing each other.
Rooney was also stunned, seeing that all the Kennick mercenaries were lying on the ground except for Allen, and he had no one to beat, so he directly turned his gun and began to beat the mercenaries of the Principality of Sadido, that is, "his own companions" in the eyes of outsiders.
Alan saw more and more patrols running over, picked up a torch and threw it into the horse Peng next to him, bowing his head and burrowing into the small alley next to him.
Rooney followed, and before leaving, he cast a low-level wood spell to speed up the fire in the stable.
A moment later, a whole street was on fire, and the patrolmen in the gravel fort didn't care about pulling the racks, and began to put out the fire one by one with buckets.
Alan stuck his head out of the small alley and took a look at it and said, "Why are there so many guards, there are no less than a thousand, they react fast enough." β
Rooney pointed to a military camp to the northwest and said, "It should be the closest garrison over there." β
Alan nodded and said: "There are many fish and dragons in the Gravel Castle, there are people from all forces, and the city lord of what kind of Meng Rui is very smart, each military camp is less than three kilometers apart, and he can respond in time to any unexpected situation." β
Rooney spread his hands and said: "This has nothing to do with us, boss, our purpose is to bypass the Gravel Fort and go to the Sadido King City, but just now I heard a few mercenaries say that now the gate behind the Gravel Fort can only enter and not exit, or let's kill it directly, these ordinary soldiers can't stop us at all." β
Alan smirked, activated the Bloodhoof Ring, jumped on top of the house, and motioned for Rooney to follow.
Before the sun had fully risen, the two of them ran to the northwest barracks on top of the house, and Alan set fire to it as he ran, all the way to the barracks.
Rooney stood on the roof of the house, his lips squirmed a few times, and he recited a spell, and dozens of rattans suddenly burst out of the ground outside the barracks, tying up more than ten people on patrol.
The two jumped off the roof and started lighting fires everywhere.
At this time, in the barracks, except for the patrolmen, it is estimated that everyone else ran out to put out the fire, and there were only more than ten logistics personnel left.
Seeing that there were fires burning in all directions in the barracks, the two ran back to the roof again and began to watch the excitement.
The fire was very strong, and the wooden tents were soon all burned, and just as the two of them were about to leave, a large group of men and horses came from the east side.
Two gray-bearded old men, dressed in the robes of a water magician, chanted a spell under the protection of a group of knights.
It's a pity that the two guys and Rooney are compared to heaven and earth, and a spell was recited for a long time, and then dozens of skulls-sized water balls were released.
It's a pity that it didn't help, the magic power in the bodies of the two water magicians was almost exhausted, and the fire still didn't decrease at all.
Rooney smiled: "It's embarrassing, the two hired mid-level water magicians, and the team still wants to put out the fire with an axe." β
A knight dressed as an officer fired an arrow into the air, and a moment later a cavalry of no less than a hundred men arrived.
This hundred-man cavalry was obviously protecting a big man, and Alan squinted his eyes and saw a pure white tall horse being protected in the middle, and a white fat man with a very exaggerated body on the war horse, dressed in rough clothes and sweating, I don't know what to shout there.
With the help of two attendants, the white fat man jumped off his horse and began to reprimand the two magicians.
"What does this fat man say?"
Rooney looked at it for a while and replied: "This person is Mon Rui, the city lord of Gravel Castle, I didn't expect it to be fatter than before, the distance is too far, I can't hear it clearly." β
After the white fat man finished his fire, he looked at the camp with thick smoke billowing out, stepped on his war horse, and left under the protection of a group of knights.
A moment later, arrows were fired from all directions.
Rooney grabbed Alan's arm and used his magic to slowly lift him into the air.
Looking down from the sky, I saw that in the whole city, infantry ran out of the camp, occupying all the main roads and paths, and it seemed that the whole city was under martial law.
