Chapter 520: Come as You Say
After a brief respite in Hammer City, the combined forces of the Rose Army and the Far Eastern Army quickly left with more than a dozen wagons of belongings and supplies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The snow was still falling, and in the midst of the wind and snow, this resolute army marched proudly, leaving long footprints on the snow.
The snowflakes were enough to hide the traces of their path, but what they had done in Hammer City could not be erased in any way.
And it's not just because they launched a surprise attack, taking Hammer City and capturing Kamal, the governor of Ironwall.
More than that, they left a pair of stunned stares that rushed to the city walls to see them off, and the citizens of Hammer City never came back to their senses for a long time.
"Are they already gone? Are they really gone? Aren't they going to burn and loot after taking the city under normal circumstances? They didn't do anything?"
"Yes, although they took some food with them, they bought them with us at their own expense, and this kind of money is really convenient. ā
"I've never seen such an incredible army, or rather an incredible person, and now Kamal is no longer a governor......"
"So we're all free? No one is coming to us all day to pay our taxes? God, it's a kind of weird feeling. ā
"Shouldn't we have two drinks to celebrate? This feeling of relief is simply not too happy, haha, I'm in for a treat!"
"Hey, I say, are you too early to be happy? What if the king sends a new governor? ā
"No, I've had enough of days like this, Hammer City is our city, we will never allow those guys to come in again, and if you dare to come, you will drive them away!"
"That's right, we're free, just let Lord Saitan lead us, and never allow the bastards sent by the royal capital to enter the city!"
After a short discussion, the citizens finally reached a consensus, and all of them cheered and danced, this is a day worth celebrating.
In the square in the center of the city, Kamal, with a big belly, was tied to a stake and naked, and snow covered his head.
"Do not beat me, I am your governor, you cannot do the same, to me, I am the governor, the governor, the greatest governor, the governor......"
He was covered in bruises, and he was surrounded by stones, but now that they had turned into snowballs, he could still tremble at first.
But as night fell, his body gradually stiffened, and by dawn he had become a full-fledged snowman.
"Mom, look, there's a snowman there, it looks so fun, I'm going to have a snowball fight, a snowball fight!"
A child saw a snowman half-kneeling on the ground, pointed at him and shouted excitedly, and the children ran nearby, but were driven to the other side by the soldiers.
"Go over there and play, can even the most greedy soul be purified by the snow and ice?" ā
Many looked into the distance and prayed for the young man who had freed them from their misery, and the soldiers began to strengthen the defenses.
That insatiable governor Kamal gave his life to atone for what he had done on this snowy day, and that was just the beginning.
For the next week, the army that seemed to fall from the sky swept through the entire Iron Wall Province, and their speed was too fast.
The first day they were in this city, the next day they were already in another city, and they behaved very strangely after taking a city.
There was neither robbery nor conscription, and except for a part of the supplies, all the wealth was divided among the people, which was greatly supported.
The province of Ironwall, deprived of Kamal's orders, was in chaos, and almost the entire southern region was completely destroyed.
The remaining nobles smelled danger and immediately concentrated all their forces on Iron Helm City, the second largest city in the province, located in the north of the Iron Wall Province.
"Bastard, what the hell is going on? In less than half a month, the entire Iron Wall Province is completely chaotic, and there are riots everywhere!"
Cahill, the provisional governor of the province of Ironwall, elected by the nobles, shouted angrily, he was the younger brother of the late governor Kamal.
"And that's not all the army that came out of nowhere, they took down eight cities in succession, including Hammer City, returned all the taxes collected by Governor Kamal to the untouchables, and preached freedom to let the untouchables start to govern themselves. ā
A middle-aged officer in armor looked angry, he was also from a noble background, and he was the army commander of the Iron Helmet City, Selo.
"It's just under the influence of that bullshit freedom, in addition to those eight cities, there are seven cities that have begun to have small-scale riots one after another, and they have begun to impact the city lord's mansion, and the situation in the north that was originally solid is also a little unstable, and there are untouchables who go to the streets every day to make trouble, and many people have been arrested, even ......"
The other nobleman sitting in the conference room sighed heavily and frowned, but he didn't continue, because the situation was too serious.
Even the Iron Helmet City, where they are now, has been affected, and the prison is almost full, and it is only thanks to the large number of soldiers gathered here that the situation is stabilized.
"What kind of magic does that Far Eastern Duke Lin Ye have, why did so many people respond to him and declare their independence from the empire, is it because of what magic he has instilled to control him? This is simply evil, if there are only one or two cities, it would be fine, but now half of the province is crazy!"
Cahill was angry, and when the nobles had elected him as governor, he had resigned on the surface, but he was delighted in his heart.
After all, he has always been pressed by his brother Kamal, and he has been looking forward to his death, and now his dream has come true and he has taken Kamal's place.
But the current situation is too grim, and there is a faint trend beyond his control, which gives him a headache and does not know how to deal with it.
"In fact, the root of the problem is in that Far Eastern Duke Lin Ye, as long as we defeat this army of only 10,000 people under him, it is enough to stop this situation, hmph, that is, he runs fast and can never find him, otherwise my legion will definitely capture him alive!"
Thero was so confident that half of the province's armies were now gathered in Iron Helmet, with almost ten legions, totaling 20,000 men.
This is a very staggering number, you must know that it is difficult for ordinary provinces to get together five legions, after all, the province of Tiebi is a strong and prosperous Dasheng.
With 20,000 troops in his hands, Thero naturally doesn't take others seriously, what is an army of 10,000 people?
"Is General Thelo really, as long as he can find that army, he can defeat them and save the day?"
Cahill was stunned, he was worried that he couldn't open the situation, and he was overjoyed by Thelo's words.
"Of course, with my Selo here, I can ensure the safety of the Iron Wall Province, and that Duke of the Far East can run fast, otherwise ......"
Thero's remark to Cahill made him even more arrogant, and this was a good time to raise his value.
"Lord Governor, Lord Governor, no, there is an army moving rapidly towards Iron Helmet City, and it can already be judged that it is the Rose and the Far East Alliance!"
At this time, a soldier came over quickly to report the military situation.
"What?
