Chapter 554: Burning City
The capital of the Amethyst Province, Duskfall, is named after the dazzling purple crystals that are abundant in it, and the entire city is built around this mineral. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Thanks to the huge income brought by amethyst, Twilight City is very wealthy, and a large number of merchants who made a fortune by collecting amethyst have settled in Twilight City.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Duskfall City is full of gold, after all, the price of amethyst is much higher than gold, and the wealth here is only below the royal capital.
Of course, the nobles of the royal capital will not turn a blind eye to the huge profits of amethyst, in fact, almost all the mines are shadowed by the nobles of the royal capital.
For this reason, Duskfall City is also called the back garden of the royal capital, and Twilight City in Pingsuri sings and dances almost day and night.
It's called Twilight, but it's a city that never sleeps, and the nobles of the royal capital often come to the city to enjoy themselves in its heyday.
But at this moment, there was billowing smoke rising from the sky above Duskfall, which cast a heavy haze over the rich city, and the exclamations continued.
"Oh my God, what the hell are you bastards doing? Are you going to destroy this city? Do you know how much it's worth? Stop!"
"You're cursed to do this, damn it, go put out the fire, if you move slowly, our hearts and souls will be burned to the ground!"
"You demon, are you going to destroy our home? Woo woo, my shop, my hard work, it's gone!"
On the streets of Twilight, many nobles dressed in fancy clothes shouted for help when they saw the billowing smoke rising from their shops and mansions.
This is the hard work of their business for many years, and it is the wealth they have worked hard to collect, and they can't watch it ruined in one fell swoop!
"Your homeland, your hard work, this is not based on the exploitation of the people, Twilight City, what a glamorous city it looks, but look at the bones in the pits outside the city, the workers who have mined for you all their lives, and finally abandoned mercilessly. ”
While these nobles were still shouting and crying, someone led a group of soldiers strode over, led by a majestic young general.
"These things don't have the slightest meaning to exist, they all burn them all, and then arrest all these vampires. ”
Jason, who still had a strong smell of blood on his body, waved his hand heavily, and he captured this glorious city in a very short time with the power of thunder.
The local army of Amethyst Province stationed in Duskfall City was too vulnerable, and they originally planned to defend the city and wait for the support of the royal capital.
They were convinced that the big men in the royal capital would not turn a blind eye to their backyard and would definitely send troops to support.
However, for a week, there was no movement on the part of the royal capital, although the invading Far Eastern Army did not have siege equipment.
They had been fighting in the vicinity of Duskfall City for a week, and they had swept many cities one after another, and just when these nobles thought that they could sit back and relax, they would definitely be able to defend it, and those guys would not be able to break through the fortified city, those soldiers in iron armor suddenly appeared in the city!
This made everyone panic, and even the guards guarding the city gate widened their eyes, how did these guys appear, did they fall from the sky?
As the city lord of Twilight City and the governor of Amethyst Province, Tanger naturally did not understand that there were intricate tunnels underneath Twilight City.
These were all excavated by miners who once wanted to escape the city, and the miners gave everything they could for the prosperity of the city.
Whether it was sweat or youth, in the end, all they got was old age and frailty, and they were abandoned in the pit.
The layers of dry bones in the abandoned mine pits are truly terrifying, and these resentful miners dig a secret passage underground that leads to the city.
When Jason learns about this from an old miner, he uses the secret passage to easily invade the interior of Twilight City.
Under the onslaught of the ironclad soldiers, the city of Duskfall fell in an instant, and the defenders of the city were simply crushed in the face of fierce attacks.
"General, the Duke asked us to do our best to do nothing in the autumn, so is it really no problem to burn the entire city to the ground?"
Jason's subordinates Reston had some doubts, and it was the first time they had done such a thing as burning the entire city, so they were a little unsure.
"Autumn is not targeting the cities that have been built by the people with great pain, but this twilight city is full of sins, and even the stench of blood-stained money can be smelled in the air, and if the Duke is here, he will make the same choice. ”
Jason was resolute, and under his orders, Reston continued to lead his soldiers in raising torches and carrying out his order to burn the city.
The nobles were in mourning, and some tried to escape, but there were ironclad soldiers everywhere, and where could they flee, and some people finally ran away.
But they were also blocked by the angry miners in the city, and chests full of gold and silver were carried out of the mansions by the soldiers.
These were the riches that the nobles had squeezed out over the years, and according to custom, the soldiers brought them to the square and distributed them all.
"These people's labor and sweat are created by everyone with their own hands, and they should belong to everyone, not those vampires, from today everyone in Amethyst Province is free, although Dusk City is destroyed, but everyone can create their own city and start a new life. ”
The officers distributed their wealth to the miners in the square, and the nobles who had been arrested were escorted in a steady stream.
"As for these noble lords, they have never gone to the mine themselves, but they savagely occupy the fruits of everyone's labor, not only that, but also squeeze everyone's living space, so that everyone can't live, now hand him over to you for trial, this is your moment. ”
The soldiers sent the arrested nobles to the gallows in the square, where thousands of miners gathered to chant.
"These bastards and vampires, do you have today, squeezing our blood and sweat, we are so rich, but we can't have enough to eat!"
"My relatives were thrown into the pit by you because they rebelled against you, you are simply demons in human skin, and you will not die well!"
"Is retribution finally here? must not let them die too easily, let their sins flow with the blood!"
The miners swarmed up, and the nobles would at first shout angrily, but soon their anger was replaced by fear.
The city is burning, and this city, which once flourished and represented the power of the aristocracy, has been reduced to ruins in this heavy snow!
