Chapter Seventy-Two: The Collapse of the Family

Wind, rain, thunder.

Outside the Kaban family's manor, next to a grove more than a thousand feet away, Joe stroked a hundred-millimeter field cannon and spat heavily on the ground.

"Damn the weather!" Soaking wet, Joe cursed angrily.

"Damn the weather!" Longinus stood beside Joe, looking at the cloudy sky with the same exasperation.

As a devout disciple of Mu, only by bathing in the golden sunlight at all times will Longinus's mood improve. He hated even the moonlight of Mutesta, let alone the windy, rainy and thunderous weather right now.

Major General Doron stood beside Joe and gestured towards the Kaban family's manor.

Like Longinus, he was enveloped in an invisible storm of heat, and the raindrops were half a foot away from their bodies before they were blown away by the heat.

Therefore, Joe was running water all over his body, and these powerful guys didn't have a drop of water on them.

"Joe, Your Excellency the Duke has put you in charge of this operation, and we are all obeying your orders." Major General Doron glared at Longinus fiercely, then at the field artillery, which had completely lost its effectiveness in the rainstorm, raised his right hand, and saluted Joe.

"Let the brothers surround the Kaban house." Joe was not polite either, and directly gave a series of orders.

"Let the warships at sea get closer, and then bombard Kaban's house. Blow those two damn towers out first, and then kill the long buildings below the two hills, where the Kaban family's guards live. ”

"Three salvos per ship, and after the bombardment, ask the knights of the church to charge first." Joe followed the movements of Major General Doron and gave a military salute to Longinus: "Who made the knights strong personally?" ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Joe said to Longinus very seriously: "Your Excellency Longinus, I didn't mean to let the pious knights take the risk, it's really this weather, the soldiers' rifles can't be fired, and only the brave and fearless church knights can arrest those bastards who collude with heresy." ”

A thunderbolt swept across the sky, and Longinus glared at Joe.

"My mom, not a damn potusse woman playing with a crystal ball!"

Longinus stretched out his carrot-thick fingers and poked Joe in the chest a few times: "Joe Rong Wittou...... Look me in the eye ......"

The golden flames in Longinus's eyes swirled, like a volcano ready to erupt, and at any moment it would spew out golden flames to burn everything: "In the future, I will stare at you, staring at you to death...... You, and your family, don't make mistakes...... Otherwise I will let you know what kind of existence the Holy Inquisition really is! ”

"On the territory of the Empire, threaten an Imperial police officer." Jo smiled happily and playfully smiled at Longinus, "Do you want to provoke a dispute between the Church and the Empire?" Eh, Lord Deacon of the Holy Inquisition who sheltered heresy in public? ”

Longinus's face flushed, he gasped for breath, gritted his teeth and turned away.

He carried the huge sword, and the knights of the church in silver armor and white robes quickly approached the Kaban manor.

The heavy armor made a 'clanging' sound, but the sound of the storm was a great way to disguise the movement.

On the beach south of the main gate of Kaban's house, a first-class battleship, two second-class battleships, and six fast frigates hung half-sails and leaned towards the beach step by step from the sea.

The nine huge warships kept approaching until they approached the shallow sea less than five hundred feet away from the gate of the Kaban manor, and the bottom of the ships almost rubbed against the sand and gravel on the bottom of the sea, and then the sails were lowered, and the nine battleships were stretched across the sea.

The level of the warships of the Delun Empire was far inferior to that of the Kingdom of Saint Sia and the Kingdom of the Ice Sea, and Rao was so, and their first-class battleships were fully equipped with 120 short-barreled guns with a minimum caliber of 150 millimeters and a maximum of 220 millimeters.

The bow and stern of the first-class battleship were equipped with two short-barreled mortars with a caliber of 380 millimeters.

Every first-class battleship is a moving battery floating on the sea.

The second-class battleship is only equipped with a slightly smaller caliber of artillery, but the number of fully equipped guns is the same as that of the first-class battleship, and the caliber of the mortar guns in the bow and stern is even more comparable.

Several officers, with Joe's orders, ran down the grove to the beach, and made contact with the transport boats released from the battleship.

On the side of the battleship facing the Kaban manor, the gun doors slipped open, and the swarthy gun muzzles slowly poked out from behind the gun doors.

Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the sea.

Joe, Rear Admiral Doron and the others stood on the shore, looking at the huge hill-like hull of the ship, and couldn't help but take a breath at the same time.

"The ship is strong...... Hmph, Navy! Major General Doron grunted in a low voice.

"Thick, big, hard...... The people of the Kaban family will definitely like it. Joe patted the hundred-millimeter field cannon beside him that could not be fired, and suddenly felt that he had completely lost interest in these field guns.

In the next moment, with a violent thunderclap, a first-class battleship, two second-class battleships, and six fast frigates faced this side of the manor, and nearly two hundred flames erupted.

'Boom, boom, boom', the dull sound of shelling even drowned out the thunder in the sky.

A burst of shells tore through the rain, pulling out white, visible traces of cannonballs in the air, and then slammed into the hills on the left and right sides of the Kaban manor.

Huge fires lit up, the ground shook, and the heat splashed everywhere.

The two towers that had stood for hundreds of years, representing the Kaban family's dominance in Tulum Port, collapsed in the firelight, and looming figures could be seen flying in the firelight, and then torn into countless pieces by the terrifying shock wave.

The guns roared, and the first salvo leveled two hills, followed by a second and third wave of shelling.

Beneath the two hills, six long three-story buildings collapsed and disintegrated in the firelight, and the broken beams and columns were crooked in the ruins, and the high temperature of the shelling ignited the antiseptic asphalt beams and columns, which burned weakly in the torrential rain like candles planted in front of the tombs.

In these three-story buildings, a large number of Kaban family guards are stationed.

The sudden shelling cost them so much that all but the most astute few had no idea what was happening, and they were crushed to pieces in the shelling.

The power of naval artillery is by no means comparable to that of the army's field artillery, which is no more than 100 millicalibers.

In particular, the six 380-millimeter mortar cannons in the bow and stern of the three battleships were like Thor's hammer that destroyed everything, and where the huge cannonballs fell, the earth was carved into deep pits large enough to accommodate a small house.

Three salvos were fired, and six mortars nearly leveled two small hills, the shock wave destroyed several nearby buildings, and the flying stones smashed the beautifully maintained courtyard.

Palm trees were broken, flowers and trees were shattered, countless rubbles were swept away, glass windows in the courtyard were smashed to pieces, and the sound of glass shattering was heard everywhere.

"Great Mu is above, sweep away heresy!" In the dark night, high-pitched slogans sounded.

Longinus, covered in white flames and a furious wind, roared into the Kaban manor.

The gate of the Caban's estate, a heavy gate cast in bronze and a foot thick, was like tissue paper under Longinus's sword, and was cleaved into dozens of pieces by his sword.

Dozens of high-ranking knights with two-leaf, three-leaf, and four-leaf golden oak leaf patterns on their chest insignia followed closely behind Longinus, forming an unstoppable array of arrows.

The white flames swirled, and the high temperature evaporated raindrops within a radius of hundreds of feet.

More than 2,000 knights of the Church stormed the Kaban manor, and countless frightened screams were heard from the manor.

The roar of Longinus resounded through the night sky, and the low roar of a lion kept coming: "In the name of my lord, evil heretic, lay down your arms......

The Church Knights were on the assault, and they rushed into the Kaban manor.

In the Kaban manor, the main force of the guards had almost been wiped out in the shelling, and only nearly a hundred guards on duty rushed out to block it.

Longinus's heavy sword swung wildly, and the Caban guards who stood in the way were split by the heavy sword, and their bodies were blazing, and large flames were thrown around. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burnt and grease, and under his sword, the bloody wind in the Kaban family's manor was like hell.

A large group of Imperial soldiers in iron-gray uniforms drew their swords and rushed into Kaban's house in great stride.

They followed the roads and quickly blocked the large and small buildings.

"In the name of Imperial law, you are ordered to renounce your resistance and cooperate with our actions...... Those who dare to change will be killed. The soldiers quickly occupied most of the Kaban estate, and their roars rang out everywhere.

A quarter of an hour later, Joe and Major General Doron arrived in front of the main building of the Kaban family.

The door of the main building was open, and under the richly decorated porch, Garong and the high-ranking members of the Kaban family stood there with pale faces.

On all sides were fierce and vicious church knights, surrounded by countless soldiers of the Imperial Army near and far, Ga Rong and the others all showed despair, covered in cold sweat, and no longer had the calmness and calmness they had just had at dinner.

"Master Garong. Long time no see! The knights and soldiers of the Imperial Army gave way to a wide passageway, and Qiao took the lead in walking up to Ga Rong and the others, and bowed to Ga Rong with a smile.

"I remember the last time we met, it was two years ago, I broke your little grandson...... It's called, it's called ...... The head of the young master of Fular...... You personally took someone to my house to settle accounts with me, and my father paid him a lot of money for his medical expenses. ”

Qiao shrugged his shoulders and said with heartfelt emotion: "Children fight, and if they lose, they go to their grandfather to complain, and they also ask for medical expenses with their faces...... Undoubtedly, this is a bit of a bad rule. You say, isn't it? ”

Ga Rong quickly glanced at the five major generals of the Imperial Army standing behind Qiao, his face became more and more pale, and his body couldn't help but shake a little.

Something is not right, very wrong.

Taking a deep breath, Ga Rong asked Qiao miserably, "Qiao...... In any case, I am your elder, and our Kaban family and the Vettu family have been friends for many years...... What do you come? ”

Qiao Canran smiled: "Kill your whole family...... Oh no, the great Mu, I'm here...... Eradicate heretics! ”
