Chapter 267: The Guard's Blocking
Hector carefully flipped open a corpse and found the badge on the corpse's chest.
He looked around again, and most of the dead bodies on the ground were richly dressed, "It seems that the nobles here are dead." Hector thought.
He led his troops deeper, only to hear the sound of noisy footsteps in the corridor deep in the building.
"Someone!", Hector quickly ordered the soldiers to set up a defensive formation, but he could see a large area of fire in the distance, which was the light of a large number of torches gathered together.
The flames grew closer and closer, until a large group of soldiers with red scarves on their arms showed their faces in the firelight. They also set up a standard defensive formation, carefully and slowly moving forward.
"Sure enough, it's a well-trained soldier, but I don't know where the troops are. Hector remembered the four people killed by the scouts earlier, confirming his previous guess.
He shouted, "Where are you troops, why do you do such a thing?"
"We didn't do it, we looked like this when we came, and we wondered. ", shouted one of the Red Turban soldiers.
Someone else shouted, "Which one are you from, and why aren't you wearing a red scarf?"
"Didn't you do it?", Hector didn't believe it, and he shouted again: "We are the Holy Radiance City, you immediately lay down your weapons and accept the investigation." ”
Who knew that when the words "city guards" came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest. When the red-turbaned soldiers heard these three words, their eyes turned red, and they rushed towards Hector's troops with a "whoop", and in the hall of the Senate, thousands of men fought in the dim light of the torches.
If the corpses of the dead nobles were nothing more than decorations on canvas in this hall, then in a few moments the canvas will be covered in blood, and death, corpses, and carnage will become the final subjects of the painting.
Hector also secretly complained in his heart, he couldn't understand why the red turban soldiers on the other side didn't do it at first, but when they heard that they were city guards, they began to fight for their lives.
How could he have known that these soldiers were rebels from the south, and they didn't do it at first because they weren't sure where Hector's troops came from, and they were afraid of being injured by mistake. Because according to the original plan, Ogero had promised that the city guards would not appear in the city of Radiance. It wasn't until Hector reported himself that they were convinced that the visitor was friend or foe.
The hall, which was supposed to be used for gatherings, was so crowded with thousands of people that there was not even room for people to move around. The well-trained armies of both sides failed to maintain their formation, and it only took a moment of kung fu fighting to become chaotic. Like a pot of stewed porridge that is constantly stirring, the soldiers can't tell whether they are friends or foes, and can only rely on whether they have red scarves tied to their arms to distinguish them.
In this chaotic situation, the tactical methods of training on weekdays have completely failed, and the warriors are like beasts, fighting with blades, fists and even teeth, not only using martial arts, but also relying on the nature of killing.
Kill the enemy, then be killed, and so on and so on, and the battlefield is as tragic as a slaughterhouse.
......
The battles in the Senate, though fierce, were only minutiae, and it was the Grand Prince's march in the palace that really determined the outcome of the victory.
The Grand Prince, supported by thousands of soldiers, made his way to the palace of Grievous the Great, and did not encounter much resistance at all. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that the mysterious and feared court would have been so weak.
And it was not until the main hall that the invincible rebels finally stopped, and they met with the most stubborn resistance.
There were three rows, each with twenty people, in a trapezoidal formation in front of the main hall, blocking the advance of the rebels.
These people were dressed in black, and the black clothes were embroidered with bright purple silk threads with violet patterns, and in this dark night, they bloomed proudly and unyieldingly like real violets. They carried knives in their right hands, and stood motionless under the light of the palace lamp, even the posture of the knives was exactly the same, and from a distance, these three rows of people looked like sculptures fired from the same mold, not like living people.
The eldest prince looked at them coldly, and spat out the two words "secret guard" from his mouth! He was both scared and excited in his heart. What I'm afraid of is the strength of the secret guards who have been instilled in the royal family since childhood, "the secret guards are not more than 100, and they will be invincible if they exceed 100", can these soldiers brought by themselves really beat these killers who seem to be machines?
Excited by the appearance of the secret guard, it means that his dear father, Grievous the Great has no choice but to take out his last trump card, as long as he breaks through the secret guard's block, tonight's plan will be a great success.
And he, Lance Grievous, will become the new king of the kingdom of St. Teresa!
As for how to deal with the secret guard, he and Gletchev have already done many plans before, and now it depends on whether these preparations are effective for the secret guard.
Beside him, Gletchev had already begun to command, "Rocket! ready!", he shouted loudly.
The ready-to-prepare soldiers took out the kerosene-soaked rockets, lit them on the torches, and shot a dense mass of fire like flying locusts towards the dormitory, and the bright flames lit up the night sky like fireworks in full bloom.
These rebels actually wanted to directly set the dormitory on fire and burn Grievous the Great alive who was hiding inside!
How could the secret guards tolerate such a thing, and more than a dozen people jumped out of the three rows of people like lightning. They raised their swords and shouted, and the surging elements stirred in the air, blowing the black clothes of these secret guards like a gale.
These guards use all their strength at the beginning, and the elements are released!
Wherever the long knife went, a strong wind rose from the ground, like a dragon leaping out of the sea, irresistible.
The fallen leaves and gravel on the ground were constantly swept upward, and the blades of these dozen people pointed out, as if there were more than a dozen wind dragons generated out of thin air, these wind dragons shook their heads and tails, flying sand and stones, swept away the debris at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally converged in the air, forming a huge dragon.
Like a storm of nature, human beings are so small in the face of such forces, but what is even more terrifying is that such forces are not formed by nature, but by man.
The wind dragon roared and hovered around the front of the dormitory, like a large curtain, blowing all the rockets back and forth, not even a single branch falling on the walls of the dormitory.
