Volume II: The Mercenary's Revenge Chapter 81: A Mutiny Part I
Night at the north gate of the imperial capital
Because the north gate of the imperial capital is closed all year round, it is also one of the most loosely guarded places in the imperial capital, and most of the north gate guards have been transferred on the night of tonight's duel, resulting in only a dozen people scattered on the huge north city gate, and a fully armed guard can be seen almost every two or three hundred meters.
It is precisely because of the sparse guards that the north gate is often targeted by some villains with hidden evil intentions. Several grappling hooks were thrown up from the corner of the city, and several figures under the moon grabbed the steel rope and quickly climbed up, and in just a few seconds, the first batch of black shadows had come to the head of the city, and all this was not discovered by any of the guarding sergeants, which was enough to see that the laxity of the defense here had reached the point of exaggeration, even if it was attacked in the middle of the night, no one would know.
Dozens of black shadows climbed the city wall one after another, and at this moment, a sergeant from the sentry on the side of the city wall came over with a torch, seeing that it should be a soldier on routine patrol. The black shadows quickly hid their tracks, and when the soldier came to see them, he directly extinguished them, a black shadow flashed, and the torch in the soldier's hand was cut into two parts, and the flame was extinguished the moment it hit the ground, and the city wall fell into darkness again.
The soldier was very flustered, he could clearly feel the cold murderous aura coming from behind him, "Where is the key to the city gate?"
Under the great fear, the soldier was stunned, and the black shadow saw that there was no response, and a dagger stabbed into the soldier's back, only to see the little soldier's body tremble violently, and then he didn't move anymore, and a large area of blood burst out, dyeing most of the black shadow's clothes red.
"Bad luck!" the shadow scolded, directing his men to disperse, and the lighted sentry not far away was their next target.
Tonight's imperial capital is particularly lively, not only because of the duel night, but also because the emperor's martial law has been temporarily lifted, which gives most of the little rich families who can't afford tickets for the duel night a reason to party all night. Countless fireworks and cannons kept blooming in the imperial capital at night, but in this dazzling and beautiful fireworks, there were a few special inconsistencies, and the wolf-shaped pattern made of dark golden flames appeared very abruptly in the sky above Remet City, and more than once, which had to make people suspicious, but because everyone's attention was attracted by the wonderful duel in the school field, so not many people cared about these strange fireworks.
The west gate of the imperial capital has always been the most heavily guarded place in Remet City, and at this moment, hundreds of guards are lined up in full armor, and the huge pillar of fire is burning, reflecting the entire west gate as if it were daylight.
"I want you to remember your duty as a soldier, this is not the place for you to be lazy and slippery, if you find a lazy dereliction of duty again, and drive out the patrol, never to be used again!" a general in military uniform shouted loudly.
Sick was really angry at this time, he just came from the school and saw that the guards guarding the city were either playing cards in groups of three or five, or hiding in a small corner and sleeping, and the whole garrison was loose and had no military record, so he completely stormed.
"You, you still have you!" Sick pointed to the few sub-commanders who led the team in front of him and rebuked angrily, "Is this how you are the officers of the Empire?
For the sake of precepts, if there is a recidivism, the punishment will be severe!"
The reprimanded sub-commanders lowered their heads even more at the moment, they didn't expect that they would be caught by the patrol commander just by occasionally deserting, and they were really unlucky tonight.
Not long after Sick and his party left, there seemed to be some strange noise outside the West City Gate, but at this time, the garrison guards were still immersed in the anger of the patrol chief, and no one even noticed it, and soon the abnormal noise disappeared, but it was replaced by a deafening crashing sound.
The slam of the western wall startled the sergeants who were guarding, and the leaders of the team looked down one after another, they didn't want to have any more trouble tonight.
A few dark gold arrows were shooting upwards, and if it weren't for the quick action of the sub-chiefs, they would probably be headshots by them.
"Alert, vigilant !!," one of the sub-chiefs shouted.
When the rest of the soldiers heard this, they immediately became confused, they did not know where the enemy was, and they could not see any of the enemy, and they were panicked by their neglect of training for many years, and they did not have the slightest appearance of regular troops. The tremor continued for a short time before it stopped, and just as the few minutes were breathing a long sigh of relief, there was a scream behind them, and the heart-rending sound soon spread throughout the entire western city wall.
I don't know when there were dozens of black shadows in the second half of the city wall, and the black shadows in the shadows slowly walked out, all of them were black soft armor protectors, their faces were covered with pure black masks, and their hands were holding short blades, looking at their outfits, they were obviously like the appearance of the Imperial Night March.
"Who the hell are you?" asked the Chief, trembling.
The black shadow didn't speak, and shot a silver dart out of his hand, right in the middle of the guard behind the commander, the soldier couldn't believe it, clutching his neck and falling to the ground, blood gushing out of the wound, a steady stream of .........
"Where's the key?" asked the shadow in a hoarse voice.
"Not in my ........." Before the chief finished speaking, he felt a chill in his throat, and a spurt of red sprayed out.
"What about you?"
"Spare your life! Another sub-chief hurriedly handed over the key.
"Traitor!" the third lieutenant snorted, seeming to be disdainful of his companion's approach.
A black shadow flashed, and the proud branch commander looked at the dagger on his chest, and fell down with a smile, he had done his best, he was worthy of the empire, worthy of the emperor, and he was blind to death.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Almost at the same time, at the moment when the fireworks were at their most dazzling, the three city wall guards of the city of Remet were silently killed, and the most wonderful moment of the door was taken.
The wolf-shaped strange pattern is the signal, first of all, at the south city wall, after the black shadow tore more than a dozen people, the heavy south gate was finally pushed open by a large force of troops who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, nearly a thousand heavy armor of the imperial troops appeared at the south gate, under the command of a general, the army stepped into the imperial city with great momentum, you must know that the empire has a strict order, any formed troops are not allowed to step into the imperial capital, violators of the order will be punished by military law, but at this time, it seems that this decree has become a waste of paper.
Similar to the south gate, the situation at the north gate was even more serious, the garrison of only a few dozen people could not stop thousands of troops no matter what, and after more than ten minutes, the gate of the north gate was also
It was opened, and the same heavily armed troops appeared at the city gate, but unlike the troops at the south gate, this army was not wearing heavy armor, but chain mail that was easy to move, and it was not a spear but a sword made of iron, which seemed to be not the same as the troops at the south gate.
The armies of the north and south gates easily took control of the city gates, while on the other side, and most importantly, the west gate, there was no news of victory for a long time.
Since the two sub-commanders were killed, their garrisons surrounded this section of the city wall, and the man in black wanted to hold the only surviving sub-commander and ask him to dismiss the hundreds of garrisons stationed under the city, but even if the sub-commander gave the order, the hundreds of garrisons did not have the slightest intention of leaving, but became more and more agitated and noisy.
Seeing that things were getting rid of their plans, the man in black led dozens of men in black under his command to rush down the city tower, and hundreds of angry soldiers under the city tower rushed over, and suddenly a big battle was inevitable, under the suppression of combat power, the people in black easily killed a bloody road, but this was not their plan.
"Why are you still being foolish when the chief is dead, Sass only cares about his own pleasure, when did he think about you, follow me, I will surely make you prosperous and rich!!," the man in black roared.
"I am a soldier of the Empire, and death is the ghost of the Empire!" a garrison rushed over without fear of death, but in exchange for the result of being in a different place.
"This is how you ended up fighting, is it worth it?"
Once again, a wolf-shaped mark appeared in the night sky, and it seemed to be urging.
The man in black ordered his men to go down and open the city gate, and at the same time shouted to surrender, "To be a king, stop at benevolence, be a minister, stop at respect, you have done everything you should do, why do you have to sacrifice your life for such a mediocre emperor." ”
Obviously, the man in black moved many people, and the large army outside the city had entered the city at this moment, which made the garrisons who were still stubbornly resisting have to reassess the current situation, and threw down the swords and axes in their hands one by one.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the school grounds, the rest room of the Chinese military tent
Emperor Sass was watching the duel between the two in the arena intently, when an old slave next to him stepped forward and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.
"Let him in!"
After a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and it was none other than Sigeris, the god of war, who entered.
"The Great, they have already begun. ”
"Where are we?"
"The west, north, and south gates have been occupied. Sijay replied.
"It's later than I expected, it seems that their plan is not going well!" The emperor did not panic at this moment, as if the occupied city gate was someone else's.
"Senier has passed through the black array I have set up and is sneaking towards the Imperial Garden. Sigeris said.
He didn't waste time, it was almost time to close the net. The Emperor groaned softly.
"Understood!"
The battle between Yi Tian and the Shura in the school field is in full swing, and the world is turned upside down, and a big drama outside the school field where the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches has slowly come to the climax.
The night in the imperial capital continues, and it is getting more and more exciting.
