Chapter 141: The Second Day of the Riot
The sky has already dawned, and according to the continental custom of the autumn day every year, today is a festival to thank the "goddess of nature".
Thank the Goddess for bringing about a harvest autumn instead of a calamity and hardship.
At the Grand Duke's Mansion in Yorktown, there was an oppressive atmosphere in the living room.
The Grand Duke of York, who sat at the top, rested his head against the high-backed chair, rubbing his right hand back and forth on the armrest.
The noble mahogany handle is shiny and shiny, like a jewel.
"Grand Duke, the outer city has fallen, and most of the civilians have been encouraged by the mob to join the rebels. ”
The butler reported the latest feedback, and the nobles and high-ranking officials sitting in the two columns under the stage and the high-ranking officials of the various guard forces were all silent.
"The fortress of the Duke of the Four Mountains, the manor houses in the outer city, and the alchemy towers of the major chambers of commerce, are just rebels who are confusing us, so that we have to scatter the Knights to rescue. ”
"More than a hundred people appeared outside the Grand Duke's Mansion, and the guards on the tower reported that more than a dozen high-level combat forces were suspected to be involved. ”
"After a night of high-intensity fighting, the high-level combat power of the Grand Duke's Mansion has been consumed a lot, and it will take time to recover its combat power!"
"The battle potion that I traded with the Alchemy Society was robbed last night! The twenty knights who guarded it were killed in battle! The whereabouts of the fifth-order knight leader who led the team are unknown, and there are many bad lucks. ”
"The battle damage is still being counted, and the loss of high-level combat power is not serious, but it just needs to rest!"
Yesterday there was some good news, for which the nobles gathered in the Grand Duke's palace held a small celebratory reception.
Unexpectedly, after a good night's sleep, bad news came out one after another.
"The 'War Mobilization Order' has been issued to the major marquises, but it will take three days for reinforcements from the fastest territories to arrive!"
The Archduke of York, who stood up, walked around the stage, his cold eyes glowing coldly.
Just as he was about to say something, a knight walked briskly into the parlor and whispered in the butler's ear.
When the knight left, the butler looked at the duke who was not angry and arrogant, and stopped talking.
"Let's talk, you will get used to hearing too much bad news!"
"Grand Duke, I just got the news that the armory has been breached by the Brotherhood from the internal underground waterways, and the knights stationed outside the gate are launching a counterattack to regain control of the armory!"
"Hmm"
Returning to the high-backed chair and sitting down, the Archduke of York groaned slightly, and explained to the butler:
"Send another twenty knights from the Grand Duke's Mansion, let the Bloody Word Knight lead the team, and recapture the armory before noon!"
"Yes, Grand Duke!"
The butler bowed his head and turned to leave.
"Grand Duke, at this point, are you still unwilling to accept the help of the Church of Light?"
"God loves the world, and we, the Knights of Light, are always on standby to launch a trial against these mobsters at any time!"
Below the stage was a knight in steel armor, with long blue hair encircled by a golden headband, a white cloak, a fair face, and a chin like a knife and an axe.
In the entire continent, the only organization that can legally have a regular knight order is the Church of Light.
The "Knights of Light" under the command of the Church of Light and the "Knights of Pegasus" of the Duchy of Ruhr compete back and forth for the title of the first knight of the continent.
In the main city-level cities, there is a team of fifty high-level combat power composed of the "Bright Knights", each knight is intermediate or above combat power, the knight chief has high-level combat power, and the knight commander is also the earth knight at the lowest.
At this moment, standing under the stage of the hall of the Grand Duke's Mansion is Phillips, the head of the Knights of Light in Yorktown.
"Head Philip, thank you for the support of the Church of Light, the status quo has not yet eroded to the last step, and at the last moment, I can pull down my old face and ask for the church's help!"
With a fist in his chest, Phillips sat back in his seat and continued to sip his delicious coffee.
The Grand Duke, who continued to close his eyes, was soon disturbed by the noisy noise outside, and pulled the sling in his hand, and the butler hurriedly walked in.
Stopping the butler's salute, the Grand Duke asked bluntly:
"What's going on out there? Did the mob start attacking the Grand Duke's Mansion?"
"No, Grand Duke, it was the surrounding commoners and nobles who were drawing water in the moat outside! ”
A slightly thin nobleman stood up and shouted in a sharp voice: "Honorable Grand Duke, this is a despicable conspiracy of thugs!"
"The moat on the periphery of the Grand Duke's Mansion is stagnant water, a natural barrier to guard against siege, and with a high-level water magician in charge, it can block at least five high-level combat powers!"
"Now that the Great Water Tower has been destroyed, it may only take a day for the commoners and noble families outside to empty the water in the moat!"
With his right hand stroking his beard, the Grand Duke of York certainly knew that this was a conspiracy of the Brotherhood, but he couldn't stop it, there was water to live.
If the Grand Duke's Mansion intervened to prevent the commoners and nobles from taking water, it would be tantamount to pushing the commoners into the arms of the Brotherhood.
This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, at least at present, the Grand Duke has not thought of a feasible way.
"It would be easy to have a water system archmage, and one 'wave monstrous' is estimated to be enough for half a month's drinking water for the whole city. ”
"There are not many great magic guides of the water system in the royal capital, let alone our small York City!"
"Yes, yes, several rivers in the outer city have fallen into the hands of the Brotherhood thugs, and the lack of water in the city will only cause even more riots!"
"Fortunately, there are a lot of fountains in the inner city that are groundwater, otherwise the whole inner city will be in chaos in less than a day!"
The aristocrats and high-ranking officials in the audience were discussing, which made the grand duke on the stage even more irritable.
"Send an archducal order to Duke Kurt's castle to blow up the dam on the hill if necessary and bring water into the city. ”
With an order from the Grand Duke, all the high-ranking officials and nobles present stood up.
"Grand Duke, don't you dare, don't be afraid of drainage, if it causes a flood, Yorktown will be finished!"
"Yes, Grand Duke, even the Brotherhood does not dare to blow up the dam and flood the city, if the news leaks, His Majesty will personally send you to the guillotine, Grand Duke!"
Everyone dissuaded, the Grand Duke of York calmed down his anger a little, just now he was just dizzy, if he really wanted to flood York City, the Brotherhood was afraid that it would jump up with joy.
The number of guards in the entire York City is about 1,000 people, and with a large number of noble guard knights living in York City, it will not exceed 2,000 people.
The members of the Brotherhood who infiltrated the inner city through the sewers were estimated to be about the same, probably less than a thousand.
The most of them were all thugs who took advantage of the fire to rob, and under the blows of the city guards and the knights of the Grand Duke's Mansion, they couldn't make it to the climate.
This is the unanimous understanding of everyone in the earliest Grand Duke's Palace.
With more poor civilians joining in, and thousands of slaves in the outer city, the snowball of the riot is getting bigger and bigger, and to be honest, even the brotherhood that planned the riot is somewhat overwhelmed.
At this time, on the basement floor of the armory, less than five kilometers away from the Grand Duke's Mansion, the high-level headed by Dafoman, the arbitrator of the Yorktown Brotherhood, was studying the map of the Grand Duke's Mansion.
There was also an extraordinary acquaintance, Sir Green, who also stood on Dafoman's side in a wide hooded robe, and was quite respected.
"This is a topographic map from the inner line of the Grand Duke's Mansion, there are no guards, he is just an ordinary gardener!"
"That's enough, Sir Green, thank you for your generosity, and may the gods bless you!"
The gray-haired Daverman was in his forties, with a hook-like nose, a sharpened chin, and a somewhat narrow face.
"You're welcome, Lord Dafoman, these are the basis of our cooperation, and it is my duty as a businessman. ”
The armor and weapons of the Extraordinary Manor Guards were all obtained through Sir Green's channels.
This fat old man with a fat figure and a blonde curly hair sleeve keeps the Green Chamber of Commerce in good order, and he is well-known throughout Orlanto.
For the arms dealers, Extraordinary doesn't have a very good feeling, so most of the cooperation between the two chambers of commerce is done by Gu Lie.
"When I take down the Duke's Palace, I can inform the entire continent of the purpose of our Brotherhood. And I, Dafoman, will lead the entire Brotherhood of Orlanto to the front of the stage, to the sacred. ”
"It is impossible to change the status quo of Orlanto by the conservatism of the elder, and only through radical means can the ideal of equality and prosperity for all become a reality!"
An impromptu speech made the eyes of the Brotherhood followers around Dafoman light up, imagining a better and more prosperous tomorrow.
Sir Green, who smiled at everything around him, maintained the etiquette of an aristocracy, and listened to it without affecting his earning of gold coins.
Before dawn, I took everyone to the single cottage where the Sisel sisters lived in Central Queens.
After driving away a few street thugs who were wandering outside the door, several people slept until dawn.
Fortunately, there are baguettes and jerky reserved by the maid in the kitchen, and after a brief breakfast, I discussed staying in the living room.
Fat Man and Bonnie are still recuperating in the bedroom, but they are fine.
Miss Mitchell, wearing the half-armor, insisted that when Bonnie recovered, she would go to Bermanta to find Master Percy.
Although Extraordinary told Mitchell Percy that he didn't know how many floors were under Bermanta, it was safe.
The stubborn female warrior admitted to death, and the extraordinary was speechless.
"So, this is the case, shall we find Percy first, or shall we return to the manor immediately?"
Dosta was sure that the tower was there, the tower was gone, and the fat man was lying upstairs.
Only Gu Lie can give advice.
"My lord, we should go back to the manor immediately, that's what we're all about!"
"Although Young Master Percy is a friend of adults, I think it's very unwise for us to take risks knowing that Percy is safe!"
"We don't have any news about the situation in the manor, my lord, Miss Ruth is in the manor!
An empty akashi in his hand flipped back and forth on the extraordinary finger, and it can be said that without this high-level empty akashi, the extraordinary teleportation would not have improved.
Last night's battle, including the later survival in the air, this egg-sized Sky Akashi is the foundation of extraordinary life-saving.
The point is, this empty bright stone was given by the boy Percyna.
Is this an indirect life-saving grace?
Maybe on the way back to the manor, I stopped by to take a look at Percy!
The Berman higher-ups who are hiding underground must have a way of knowing what's going on on the ground.
Instead, he confirmed Percy's safety and hurried back to the manor.
"I'll take Mitchell to Bermanta now! You stay home with Dosta and watch Fat Man and Miss Bonnie wait for us to come back!"
The decision has been made, and there is no room for Gu Lie to refute, and Mitchell's only exposed lips hooked a smile, beautiful and good-looking!
