"But dear. You have to be careful, that kid named Ming, he's too dangerous. Every step so far has been as he expected. If it's all a trap, we need to be careful with every opportunity that seems enticing. Marianne said worriedly.

"Report!" said another soldier at this point. "Message from the agent. The princess surrendered and is now hitchhiking to the palace. ”

"Honey—" Marianne looked at Lowell worriedly.

"I know my wife. Rest assured. Lowell smiled. "I'll go. Also, call Toro. ”

"But Toro-sama was shot and still in bed. The soldier said worriedly.

"You tell him the truth about the princess. Let him decide for himself whether to go or not. Lowell said.

"Yes. The soldier retreated.

Lowell looked at Marianne with a smile. "Wife, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I'll come back when I go. ”

"Be careful. Marianne admonished again.

"No problem. Lowell raised his fist in reassurance. Left the room.

Suddenly only Marianne and the private doctor who helped her bandage her wounds were left in the room. Angela.

"Angela. Marianne looked at her abdomen, which had been bandaged, and then at Angela.

"Madame, you say. Angela asked, packing up her medical kit.

"You've seen Ming. What do you think of it?" Marianne was still a little worried.

At first, I always thought that Arad's people were martial artists with only force and no brains, and Arad used some old-fashioned weapons. That's why I can cooperate with them with confidence. But now, it feels very tricky to arrange everything clearly, and now that I think about it, I feel that there are too many things that Ming interferes in this operation. Because many things were going well in his relationship and most things were handed over to him, it seems that this is too unvigilant now.

Ming took all the adventurers out of the Celestial Realm and joined the operation as a gift. But when we lost our vigilance against adventurers, now that Wu Yue and Daxter had returned, it was clear that there was something wrong with him. He had his men take the princess to the exit of the labyrinth so that we thought we could capture her alive, only to lead us to an ambush. He persuaded the Toro family, with their strong forces and assets, to join us in the operation. But it is clear that Toro's purpose is not to change the country, he only wants to change the princess. Therefore, there is a possibility of rebellion at any time.

Of the tens of thousands of troops, 2,000 are the knights of the Delos Empire. More than 1,400 people were the private army of the Toro family. More than 1,000 people are the team of bribes. There are also two thousand people who are the private armies of the other two families. The remaining 3,000 or so are all soldiers who I have recruited myself. Thanks to the theory of the uselessness of the army spread by his father himself, the military budget and soldiers of the Heavenly Realm have been greatly reduced, and he was able to secretly absorb these armies. These 3,000 people are their own right to speak. Put yourself in a leadership position. So at that time, Toro, who was trying to protect the princess, was able to shoot without any scruples.

But in other words, there are only more than 3,000 people who can really control it. Of the more than 2,000 people led by Berta, about 1,000 of them were his own men. Now it's all gone. The 400 people who besieged the princess before were all people who were arranged in the city of Gent, and now there are only a few dozen people left. Of the more than 1,000 people remaining, eighty percent of the ranks are still outside the city, mingling with other noble ranks. The remaining 20% stay in the city as a reserve in case of a situation in the city.

Too little. There are too few teams that can really be used for themselves. If you can't do anything to increase your prestige, even if you succeed in taking Ghent later. will definitely be robbed of credit by those mercenary nobles. The most likely ones to grab the credit are those in the Nether Realm, who are willing to help rebel as soon as they come up, and the wolf ambitions are not hidden in the slightest. But Hailan and I are in the same group. In order to prevent Jackt from coming back with his troops to make trouble, he is trying to find a way to catch him. As long as Hailan returns, his coast guard joins my side, and it may be possible to turn the tide.

As long as nothing else.

"Well, I think I'm just a smarter kid. But it's not so much clever as precocious. Angela thought for a moment and said. "He is the son of a general in the country of Belmar. The general's style is very tough and long-term, and if I have been exposed to it since I was a child, I don't think it's strange that Ming will be precocious. But if you're too jealous of Ming, madam, I don't think it's necessary. After all, the people he can use are only a few strong children. A child is a child after all. As long as it's solved, it's fine. When the master was leaving, I could feel a chill. He was murderous. Presumably, when he sees Ming Hou again, he will shoot without hesitation. ”

"It would be nice if it were so. Marianne looked out the open window, and the red-hot sky was as scorching as it was now. "There are private armies in the family who are in charge of the garrison. I just don't know if it will be the opponent of those brutal Kalert. ”

"The master will send someone. ”

"The big picture matters. Hard. Marianne said worriedly. "He'll probably wait for the city's guards and fire brigades to pass. ”

=====================================================

"Damn the aristocratic army, let me cut a hole in you. Let your master dare to lie to Lao Tzu. Van Vladin gripped the shotgun in his hand and pulled the trigger. Accompanied by the sound of explosive gunfire, several soldiers who were still shooting in front of them were suddenly knocked away by the scattered bullets. Zero Zero Book House

"Damn!!" The soldiers guarding the noble family did not dare to flee at all. But they couldn't beat these Kahlert soldiers. After all, their number was only about 90 of nearly 100 people. And these Kahlert's armies obviously numbered hundreds, and they were much better equipped than on their own.

The soldier looked at the raging fire in the rear. But Callert's entanglement made it impossible for them to extinguish the fire. At this time, there was no support in the town. If there is a fire on weekdays, the alarm bell of the fire truck will already ring in the sky within ten minutes. It's been almost twenty minutes now, and there's not any movement. There was such a loud gunfire here, and the barracks didn't even reply. I don't know why the phone can't get through, there is no signal. There is no way. The soldier's face was contorted with eagerness.

"Good. Fall back. Retreat quickly. At this time, the commander in the rear finally made the sound of retreat. In other words, the people in the aristocratic family finally ran away through the back door. Then there is no need for these people to stick here. Although the home may be ransacked, it is better than not dying.

The retreat order issued by the commander made the noble private army that did not want to fight run out immediately. Only the mansion that was still burning by fire at this time was left.

"Master Fladin. I didn't find much money. A soldier directs Soldier Callert to move out of a safe in a room. While reporting to Van Vladin.

"It's fine. How much to grab. Retreat first. The money must have been taken by the fleeing nobles, and we will chase it!" Van Vladin said immediately.

"Yes!" After throwing the safe in the car, the people here really couldn't find any money, so they immediately retreated.

After Callert's soldiers had fled, the surrounding occupants slowly opened their doors. Look at the situation outside. The aristocratic mansion bought the residential area of the house and the vacant land around it. This house is surrounded by a large area of open space to show its dignity. So even if the fire burns, it won't actually burn the surrounding residents.

For this burning mansion, the surrounding residents do not have much sympathy. On the one hand, there is schadenfreude, and on the other hand, there is also some hatred of the rich. In this era of war, the common people tightened their belts and handed over all kinds of supplies and belongings to the Imperial Capital Army to fight against Khalert. These aristocrats still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight as if they have nothing to do with themselves. When the people had to carefully calculate how much rice they had to drink a mouthful of porridge, they were still eating in brocade clothes and jade, and one meal could waste a month's rations for the people. Although these nobles themselves did not have a common people, they did not give generously to help the people. This sufficient imbalance was enough to make the common people have little affection for these nobles. At the same time, there were rumors among the people that the nobles themselves had gone to Calert as the victors to demand reparations. Kahlert was so angry that he disguised himself as an imperial army and infiltrated to rob the nobles. Judging from the well-known behavior and language of Van Vladin just now, the rumors this time really didn't run.

Just now, some people saw that those nobles had all run away from the back door in cars. Anyway, if they can escape, it's nothing to lose some money. Just let them experience the difficulty of ordinary people.

Just as these ordinary people were leaning on the doors and windows, admiring the fire, which was burning money every second, they suddenly saw a small child in ragged clothes rushing out of the place where the fire was smaller. He was still holding a big bag of rice in his arms. Then he ran quickly to an alley and disappeared.

There were numerous conscriptions during the war. The number of people killed on this battlefield is a number, and for ordinary people, it is just a few thousand or tens of thousands of people in their mouths. However, it also means that a family is missing a pillar of breadwinner. It's hard to have a single woman to support your family. So now in the city of Ghent, there are a lot of homeless children stealing and grabbing food. These families are lively, but in fact, there are only women and children left in the family, and some old people in their sixties and seventies. Or some are young people who have escaped conscription and have some physical disabilities. Food is scarce and expensive, and most of these people do not have enough to eat. Now I saw a child suddenly rushing out of the fire with a bag of rice in his arms.

They, suddenly, swallowed.

As a result, these people, who were originally watching the fire from the other side, suddenly began to spontaneously save the fire. In the direction that the kid had run out of, the crowd saw a smashed floor. Underneath the floor is a staircase that leads to the deep underground. Now the nobles have all fled, and the noble army has also been repulsed by Caller. Kahlert himself went after the noble army and the nobles. People can enter and exit this place without worries, and they will be stared at at every glance.

Entering the basement, people were stunned. They saw a spacious room. And this spacious room, like a granary, was piled with white rice and flour.

A bag of rice used to be a good life and a good thing, but now no one dares to think about how much a bag costs. Most people pawn the ancestral treasures of their families, and they can only exchange them for a bowl or a small bowl. It's all these people who are in the tun, they are stockpiling goods, they are full of food and drink without worrying about tomorrow, and at the same time, they can also use these to suck the blood of our already skinny body.

As a result, people's original mood of schadenfreude suddenly turned into anger.

Ming stood on the rooftop, watching the people below carry food in and out.

Those weren't just moving themselves, they were promoting neighborhood and letting everyone come. After all, if you take too much at once in your own family, you can only end up being asked to go back by these nobles again. But it's not the same with a lot of people. Everyone can only take a little more, though. But first of all, this can improve his life a little, and secondly, the law does not blame the public, in case this nobleman asks about the crime later, the little bit of rice in his own family, they have no reason to say that it is his family. If they dare to rob, they can go to the judge. The number of participants is all from their own side, and when the time comes, there will be many people, and no one will retreat.

"You're really bad at that. Rex appeared behind Ming and threw the rice he was holding in his arms to the ground. In this way, these nobles broke with the people completely. ”

"The right time, the right place, and the right people. This is the natural consideration of everything you do. Ming looked down at the situation below and smiled. "First of all, this step cuts off their people. Next, I will destroy their time and land little by little. Next, there are two more to change clothes and go again. ”

"Okay. It's coming, it's coming. I really thought I could get some good. It turned out that he really came to work as a coolie. Walked around those mansions, and there was nothing of value. Fortunately, their family still has to feed the next people, and this granary has not been transported away. Rex put the bag of rice in his ring and reluctantly changed his clothes.

"Even so. Seventy percent of the grain in that granary has been shipped elsewhere. This 30 percent of the grain can make these people angry like this. If the remaining seventy percent is seen, it will be interesting. Ming said as he turned his head to look at the other side. Suddenly. "Rex, no need. ”

"Huh?" Rex, who was halfway through his rotten clothes, looked at Ming strangely.

"Now on Wind Chime Street, part of Kaller's first team has converged with Kaller's second team. The assault has begun. Ming said. "I just saw it. There are too few troops on this side of the noble mansion, so it must have been divided into half to protect the other side. Kahlert could be in a tough battle. We're going to help. By the way, get some benefits. ”
