Chapter 111: Eruption
Nangong Rong knew that his people were not treated well everywhere in the empire, discrimination, ridicule and insults were commonplace, and even some ordinary unemployed vagrants who were lazy dared to blatantly look down on Han people who were working or doing business, and they would even get the support of others. But that's all there is to it, and I don't know whether it was the aristocrats who claimed to be civilized and wanted to keep what little face they had left, or the common people who didn't dare to defy the law under the laws of the empire, or for some other reason, they didn't openly persecute them.
At least, these guys still nominally recognize Han Chinese as imperial commoners.
But what is the situation now, an Imperial officer actually framed and ordered his subordinates to carry out a violent attack with his eyes open in broad daylight, and ordered his subordinates to carry out violent attacks, as the man who dared to stand up said, these guys took off their military uniforms and said that they were robbers, and some people absolutely believed them.
Could it be that the situation on the front line is so bad that the empire does not hesitate to tear off its face and directly take property from the people to supplement the cost of the war? Nangong Rong felt that most of the time it would not, this should be just a phenomenon unique to Drimpel City, and he must stop it after he contacts Octavier.
So the young man tried his best to hold back and didn't make a move, if he was playing soy sauce next to him to watch the play, then at least he could objectively explain and explain to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess as a bystander who witnessed the whole incident from beginning to end;
It's a pity that Nangong Rong still thinks about things too simply, why has he never heard of this kind of thing before, why is this kind of thing really happening in front of him now? Can the order of a mere city lord replace the laws of the empire, who gave him the courage to challenge the authority of the empire? Not to mention that this Derimpel still belongs to the sphere of influence of the royal family, even those guys who are contrary to their ambitions and try to stand on their own feet do not dare to change the laws of the empire, and even oppose it.
At least not yet.
The boy didn't think it that deeply, so when he figured out what really caused it, he changed his mind as quickly as the law that could easily be changed.
But now, Nangong Rong didn't know this for the time being, and his attention was all focused on the Han man who stepped forward.
It was nothing to beat the surrounding soldiers to the ground with a wave of his fist, and after pretending to be enough, he pretended to be cold and glared at the officer from his nostrils, and then picked up the old man's money, picked him up (or carried him) and sent him outside the city to see a doctor; presumably the fat officer would not really have the courage to order the unarmed civilians to be shot, so he could only let them go with a black face, and the matter naturally ended there.
But if he snatched the musket equipped by the soldier and grabbed it in his hand, the problem would be completely over, and it would completely give the other party a reason to shoot, okay? To be reasonable, Nangong Rong didn't understand why the man did this, he couldn't help but be too impulsive.
Sure enough, after seeing the man take the gun in his hand, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding soldiers who were watching the excitement suddenly changed, and they all raised their guns to aim at him. The chubby officer shook his beer belly and rolled out of the carriage at a flying speed, hid behind the carriage and probed his head and said in a fierce voice: "Don't you dare to snatch guns from attacking the Imperial soldiers, do you really not want to live!?"
"Since the Empire announced the inexplicable news that the Han Warcraft Operator named Nangong Rong secretly colluded with the Alliance in an attempt to assassinate the Duke of Toronso, who led troops to support the imperial capital Liedana, but also caused the Duke to be seriously injured and unconscious, all kinds of random suspicions that we are spies of the Alliance, all kinds of forcible robbery, arrest and prison to do coolies, and even other more shameless things have emerged one after another, as if it is some kind of unwritten rule that it doesn't matter what happens to us. My four-year-old daughter, who was just trying to keep the birthday cake that our couple had saved up for a long time, was kicked in the head by you soldiers, and never opened her eyes again. Why don't you touch your chest and say, "Look, do we still have a way to live!?"
The man almost burst into tears and roared in anger at the end, and even his wife, who didn't want to cause trouble, seemed to recall what happened to her daughter, and generally rushed to her husband with tears and gritted her teeth, picked up the rifle on the ground and stood with him: "Since this desperate situation makes people unable to live anywhere, then we might as well just settle it here!"
There are not many Han people in the team, only less than ten, although they did not respond to the couple's voice, they couldn't help but cry for a while, thinking that their experience would not be very good.
Things have developed so far, Nangong Rong still has no intention of coming forward to do something, because he no longer knows what he should do. The bewildered teenager couldn't figure out what was going on, and it stands to reason that Octavir and they should have thought that they had been honored in the small town called Mirgan in the enemy's attack, and that Mao had somehow become a spy who colluded with an alliance to assassinate him?
Since everyone's attention was elsewhere at the moment, the system did not hesitate to explain in an unusually low tone: " Of course you didn't collude with the enemy country, and the other party would definitely not really think that the old duke was injured and unconscious and was deceived and relaxed his vigilance, but those guys with fancy intestines in Ridana City didn't know that there was no supreme commander for the time being in the capital, although the old duke was loyal to the royal family, but the officers under him didn't necessarily have the same idea, if he could find a way to win over and control the army, it would naturally be much more convenient to do certain things in the future. ”
Mira, who is good at this, is not right, it means that the glasses lady who is quite poisoned immediately answered with her eyes shining: "Yes, yes, yes, use this opportunity to let the guys with ghosts take the initiative to jump out of the shadows, and when they make a lot of noise, they will be wiped out and completely cleaned up the hidden dangers inside." Well, this one can have it. ”
The system was noncommittal about the reaction of the glasses girl, and she continued to herself: "Although we did get attacked in that town, the old duke's troops had been attacked all the way before that, and a three-year-old child would not believe him if he was injured in this attack and fell unconscious. But if there is a spy who colludes with the alliance here, the credibility can be much greater, not to mention that you also have the status of a temporary partner trusted by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and a Han Chinese who have been dissatisfied with the empire since ancient times and even insisted on resisting. If you had done the internal response, coupled with the fatigue attacks that had been repeated earlier to drain the soldier's mental energy, it would have been possible for outsiders to really succeed. ”
On the surface, Nangong Rong was still very calm, he didn't even grit his teeth, as if it didn't matter to him, he asked indifferently: "So the royal family and the old Duke Toronso decisively took advantage of this to make a good fuss, as long as they can clean up the scourge hidden inside, it doesn't matter what happens outside?"
Jin Changzhi Lori also sighed very plainly: "Including the things that are happening in front of us, it is obviously not within their consideration, otherwise, in the current situation that it is difficult for the royal family to restrain the people below, they should definitely not put this plan into action." ”
The rest of the conversation was gone, and the officer hiding behind the carriage screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on: "Kill them, hurry up and kill all these damned Han Chinese!"
If things continue to develop like this, it will really kill people, Nangong Rong just took a step and wanted to stop it, but he didn't want to face a cold wind wrapped in shadows, and when he subconsciously raised his left hand to cover it, the huge force slammed into his forearm, and the severe pain was almost like he was about to burrow into the bone marrow, so that the young man couldn't help but stumble on the spot and lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"Lao Tzu, have you been paying attention for a long time, do you know? Obviously a Han person, the clothes he wears are more delicate than ordinary little nobles, and the metal box carried by the female companion next to him is obviously very heavy, and it must contain a lot of valuable things, how can you be a mere scum with so much wealth, you must not know where to steal it or even rob it! What's the matter now, do you still want to support your own kind? Brother, beat him to death!"
There is no need to look up to see Nangong Rong has already understood what is going on, the several soldiers standing near him have very vicious eyes because they have been working in this area for a long time, and most of them guessed what exactly was in the box in Mila's hand, and then ...... There is no then.
Nangong Rong, who had been hit the butt of the rifle on his arm, didn't feel how unbearable this piercing pain was, because his whole body exploded completely. Pain is non-existent in the face of extreme anger.
The soldier's voice as he continued to wield the butt of his rifle while shouting and screaming for a few fox friends to come over and attack stopped abruptly, and his movements immediately stopped, staring down at his chest with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face.
It had been pierced by a sharp lilac crystal without mercy, and the wound that would never have been saved by the best doctors in the world was frantically devouring the soldier's life, and darkness and cold quickly enveloped him.
A few days ago, when I went out to the place where the refugees camped near the lake to fight the autumn breeze in the name of patrolling, the Han girl who was thrown into the lake by a few of them after a few fierce tosses was thrown into the lake, could it be that this feeling was the same at that time? Hell, I knew that I shouldn't have beaten this kid's idea.
With consternation and remorse, the expression on the soldier's face froze completely.
No one thought that the first person to make a fuss was not the angry couple with guns, but Nangong Rong at the end of the team, and the crystal weapon in the young man's hand had never been seen before, so that several soldiers next to him who were about to respond were stunned on the spot.
Since they failed to react quickly, they naturally left Nangong Rong enough time. When the surrounding soldiers shot at Nangong Rong despite the scattered and screaming refugees, he also smashed out a hemispherical crystal cover and covered himself and Mira.
Automatic firearms were standard on Lin Weiyin's side, but they were a rarity in Razfield, and even the soldiers of the wealthy city of Dresspel had all single-shot rifles in their hands, and the firepower was so weak that they couldn't even shake the surface of the crystal cover.
And the continuous firepower of this rifle is obviously insufficient, after a few rounds of bullets, the soldiers have been dumb and then hurriedly began to fumble for the magazine in their pockets to replace, there is no cooperation at all.
However, Nangong Rong did not sneer at the performance of the soldiers, he just clenched his fists vigorously in his voice from low to high and spoke from slow to fast: " When the town of Mirgan was attacked, it was nothing that you chose to die for the sake of protecting Toronso, I can understand that this was politics, and after I managed to avoid death by crossing into another plane by somehow, I was constantly worried about the situation in my hometown, and even today, when the locals who had helped me needed me the most, I relentlessly activated the circle that had finally completed all the preparations and returned, in order to continue to work with you to expel the terrible monsters that hide in the shadows of this world, and I don't care whether you save me or not。 But see for yourself what you've done!?I'm not trying to save a world like this, Octavier Femitia ——!!."
From the surface of the hemispherical crystal, countless small and sharp crystal objects condensed, and then rained down on the surrounding soldiers. Those were all bullets that had been hit on the surface of the crystal before, and after a little processing, they were directly used by the teenager.
When it calmed down, the whole street looked as chaotic as a storm, and large swaths of soldiers were swept to the ground rolling back and forth and wailing in pain, and some of the unlucky ones couldn't move, probably burping.
At the same time, outside the front-line headquarters near Ledana, thousands of miles away, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who was busy with work and was about to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air, suddenly shivered violently for no reason.
Seeing this, Nakiris, who was accompanying the eldest princess, couldn't help but look at the bright sun overhead, "It doesn't seem to be low today, Tavier?"
"No, it's not the temperature, I just feel like something is happening all of a sudden. The girl said as she looked in the direction of the city of Drimpel, which was actually out of sight, "and it seems bad." ”
