Chapter 514: The Great Revolution
In fact, when conquering the gate fortress, the losses of Levi's side were still relatively large. Even if the elements of truth broke into the fortress, eliminated the enemy's elemental powerhouses, and blasted open several entrances to the main fortress, it only ensured the victory of the battle, but did not reduce the casualties too well.
The mutants and demon hunters are all right, and the main casualties are still from those armed workers.
Although their morale is quite high, they lack systematic military training, and the level of equipment and the quality of individual soldiers are too poor, resulting in a lack of discipline and discipline when they attack.
It's the most deadly thing on the battlefield.
In addition, the armed workers' units have just been established, and even the grassroots officers have just been selected, and they themselves have little military literacy, let alone command ability.
A large number of armed workers, under the charge of a swarm of bees, were wiped out by heavy weapons, machine guns and other defensive weapons by relying on their blood.
However, their sacrifice is not worthless. At the very least, they have largely attracted the firepower of the government army. Then they charged under cover, divided into small groups of witchers, and soon infiltrated the fortress and carried out surprise elimination of key firepower, greatly reducing the firepower of the defenders.
The elite team of mutants, taking advantage of this opportunity, broke through in one fell swoop, which completely established the victory of this battle to conquer the gate fortress.
……
On October 11, 447 A.D., the 'gates' of the city of Westdum changed hands.
The gate is in the hands of the Brotherhood, the Witchers, and the Mutants, which will be a very iconic event for the entire kingdom.
The city of Wei is the base camp of the government army. Almost seventy or eighty percent of the group army that is fighting in the eastern border needs to rely on Wei City for support in terms of ordnance and military rations. As soon as the gate closes, you can imagine what will become of the East.
Of course, this will not directly strangle the logistical supply of the Eastern Border Group.
Part of the logistical force is supplemented by airships in the airport area. It's just that the situation in the airport area is extremely complicated now, and it is very difficult for the royal government to drive out war airships, but commercial transport airships can be driven out.
But in any case, now that the gate is closed and the airport area is wrestling with all sides, the logistical supply of the Eastern Border Group Army is afraid that Marshal Kavon will have a headache to death.
And the gate changed hands, and this was just the beginning of the battle in the entire lower area of Westdum.
Since this battle, the entire lower district of Wei City has been like a spark burning the prairie like a prairie fire, and all neighborhoods and places have broken out one after another in a very short interval of time.
This is all the handiwork of the Brotherhood and the Restoration Congress.
Since the leader Xu Dongxin was killed in the coup d'état at Iris Palace, the Restoration Congress has been in a trough for a long time. Part of their strength was taken out and went to the east, where they were ordered under the account of Her Royal Highness the Princess. The other part stayed in Westdum, mainly in the lower districts of Westom, cooperating with the Brotherhood and carrying out various underground activities.
And the leader of the Restoration Congress agents who are active in Wei City is a female agent who once had a relationship with Levi, Mi Rui.
This woman's strength has also grown rapidly over the years. Back then, her strength was not bad, and in the past few years, she has also entered the stage of elements, successfully making up for the problem that there are no elements in the Restoration Congress.
The close cooperation between the Restoration Council and the Brotherhood has developed a lot of power by taking advantage of the solid foundation laid by the Brotherhood among the low-class people in the lower districts in the past.
This wave of great uprisings of the people at the bottom of the lower districts can be said to be the result of the continuous work and preparation of the Brotherhood and the Restoration Association over the years.
At the same time, the mutants who had been suppressed and oppressed in the past also broke out with this opportunity.
The army of mutants rushed out of the lower districts, centered on the Black Autumn Mountains, and began to radiate and spread around, and cooperated with the forces of the Brotherhood and the demon hunter branches in the lower districts to start making waves.
In this wave of the 'Great Revolt of the People of Visdum', it is very concentrated that the Royal Government has shown its indifference to the people at the bottom of the lower districts. Theoretically speaking, the area of the lower area should be about the same as that of the upper area. However, not to mention the black households, just the official statistics of the population, the population of the entire lower district is eleven times that of the upper district.
The people at the bottom of the lower districts endured hard work, endured poor living conditions and conditions, endured high mortality rates, worked hard, lived in darkness, grew old and died in pain, and lived a miserable life.
But the Royal Government? Sorry, they really don't see the suffering of the people in the lower districts.
The upper area is singing and dancing, and the lower area is like a hell, which has been the norm in the kingdom for hundreds of years.
In the past, the Royal Government had at least some control over the lower districts. At the very least, the most basic police station and government control still exists. But when Norsman came to power, from the Crimson Moon Coup to the Iris Palace Coup, several huge turmoil in the kingdom's political arena caused the impact on the kingdom's elite circle for the time being, and what no one noticed was that in the lower districts, because of these turmoil, the royal government's ability to control the lower districts was not strong, and further declined.
It is precisely because of this that the work of the Brotherhood and the Restoration Council in the lower districts can be carried out so smoothly. At the same time, in this 'big uprising' that broke out, the rapid fall of the bottom area is also not unrelated.
It was not enough for the end of October when the great uprising began to break out in early October, and when most of the neighborhoods in the lower districts changed their flags and hung up the big red banner of the Brotherhood.
In less than a month, a huge lower area has almost completely fallen into the hands of the Brotherhood and mutants.
It was a great victory for the poor people and the workers at the bottom, and the vast sea of the people's war flooded the lower districts of Visdum.
At the same time, it also caused a great panic in the upper districts, and the royal government was shaken.
The lower districts, for the city of Wai, are not just 'slums'. The reason why the upper districts can have beautiful scenery, good greenery, and people live and work in peace and contentment is because in essence, their high quality of life is based on the exploitation of the people at the bottom of the lower districts.
Now that the lower districts have changed their banner and are not subject to exploitation, what will happen to the upper districts?
Mass starvation?
