Chapter Ninety-Nine: Riot

At night, Marven came to a relatively well-preserved wooden house in the town, pushed open the door, and saw Zhang Feng sitting alone in the house, feasting on a table full of food. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ah Feng, why are you alone?" Marven stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "What about Hammond?"

Zhang Feng raised his head and was overjoyed when he saw Marven walking towards him, and muttered indistinctly with a small mouth stuffed with food: "I...... We were just about to eat together, but Hammond and the others were suddenly called out by the guards, saying that they were on some mission......"

Marven frowned, "I was called out in such a hurry, it seems that this Dat Town is not very peaceful, Ah Feng, when I am not there, you have to be careful everywhere." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Feng nodded and swallowed all the food in his mouth, "Don't worry, Brother Marven, I will protect myself, when I was in Morowing, I learned how to survive in the war." ”

After hearing this, Marven was silent for a moment, looking at Zhang Feng's childish face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, yes, a child who was only a teenager, but he learned the way to survive in the war, and experienced endless pain and vicissitudes at an age that did not belong to him.

"Brother Marven, have you had dinner?" Zhang Feng saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was hungry, and brought some bread, cheese and two large pieces of pig's trotters to him, "This is for you, hurry up and eat it." ”

"Thank you, Ah Feng, I'm not hungry, I'm just a little tired and need to take a break. ”

After a busy day, especially after controlling Mance with spiritual magic, Marven only felt that his mental power was almost overdrawn, after all, this was the first time he controlled the paladin, although the psychological defense line of Mance at that time had collapsed, but the spirit and will of the paladin were still far better than ordinary people, and the mental power required to control him was even greater.

In the middle of the night, just as he was drowsy, the whole town of Dart suddenly burst into flames, and the guards brought him urgent news.

"Your Excellency Deputy Pioneer, there is an emergency! There has been a massive riot of heretics in the city! Our patrol has been attacked, and there have been many casualties!"

Marven sat up abruptly and gave a resolute order: "Hurry up and send more people to deal with it, block the city gate, and arrest the leader of the rioters as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" the guard clutched his saber tightly and quickly ran towards the door.

"And!" Marven stopped him and added: "Order the army to exercise restraint and not kill innocents indiscriminately, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

"Understood!" the guard saluted him, then turned and walked out the door.

Marven held back his sleep, put on his robe, and soon after going out, he ran into the mercenary mage Rogge on the street.

Seeing that Rogge was in a hurry and looked anxious, Marven stepped forward to stop him, and was about to ask, Rogge wanted to break free, but found that it was Marven who stopped him, and hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Marven, so you are here! Great! Hurry! Please help save Hammond and them......"

"Hammond?" Marven was startled, "what's wrong with him? What happened?" he helped Rog into a tent, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Rogge took a big sip of water and said in frustration: "Hammond, they were on patrol at night, and they were attacked by the rioting Moses, and when I rushed there, the battle was over, and all of them are now unknown ...... life."

Speaking of this, Rogge was so anxious that he almost burst into tears, grabbed his staff, and half-knelt on the ground, "Master Marven, please help save them, they are all brothers who were born and died with me, as long as you can save them, our mercenary team will be sent by you for free in the future." ”

"Master Rog, it doesn't have to be this way. Marven hurriedly helped him up, "Now we are all grasshoppers on the same line, don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will find a way to rescue all of them." ”

Marvin took Rogge straight to the command post, pushed open the door, and found Mance and a group of officers arranging their troops to study how to quell the riot.

"Mance, Hammond, where was their last mission?" Marven asked, as if no one was there.

"In the south direction of the city. The pioneer officer replied truthfully.

"They've been kidnapped, Mance, send me two hundred hoplites, I need to get there as quickly as possible. Marven's tone was like an order to a subordinate.

"Okay. Without any objections, Mance quickly transferred the two hundred most elite hoplites to Marven.

"Also, the city wall in the south of the city is seriously damaged, and there are many gaps, so send additional troops and strictly control it to prevent anyone from escaping!"

When Marven personally led his troops to the south of the city, the entire south of the city was almost turned into a sea of fire, and in the face of the monstrous fire, the patrolling infantry was almost powerless and retreated in a hurry.

"God is great!" came a hysterical shout from the firelight, and countless Moses set fire to houses with torches. Seeing the Imperial soldiers who came to suppress them, they drew their machetes and pounced on each other desperately, no matter how elite these pioneer battalion soldiers were, they also suffered a lot of casualties in the face of a large group of fanatical outlaws.

Marven hurriedly asked the knight behind him to stop first, turned sideways and commanded the mercenary mage beside him: "Master Rog, the fire here is too big, you and I first prepare water magic to suppress this fire, and then I can let the army behind me rush over." ”

Rog nodded, and before Marven could finish speaking, he raised his wand and began to chant the spell.

A few minutes later, two huge waterspouts roared from left to right, and with a "bang-la-la" sound, the monstrous fire was quickly suppressed, and a large amount of white mist rose in the air, and the entire southern part of the city turned into a vast white.

"Heavy knight, listen to my orders, charge the whole army!" Marven pointed the wand in his hand straight ahead.

"The God of Light is with the Empire!" two hundred heavily armed knights roared angrily at the same time, their spears leveled, and charged at the fanatical Moses.

Moments later, the screams of the Moses could be heard from the smoke-filled ruins, and under the powerful impact of the heavy knights, hundreds of Moses were either picked up by the knight's spear or chopped into pieces by swords.

The Moses were outnumbered and withdrew, retreating in the direction of the south gate. Marven personally led the heavily armed knights to follow closely and pursued all the way to the south gate.

When they arrived at the south gate, everyone was shocked to find that the entire south gate had become a sea of fire, but the guards guarding the gate had long since disappeared, leaving only a large pile of charred corpses on the ground.

"Sir, I didn't find the heretics, but I found this outside the city. "A knight made his rounds around the south gate and found a six-pointed star badge in the gap in the wall.

"You inform Mance to send more men to defend the south gate, and the rest of the men will chase after me!" After the battle, the wall of the south gate was the most dilapidated, and seeing this situation, it had already been broken by the Moses through the combination of the inside and the outside, and they saw that the elite of the vanguard battalion had been killed, and after some of the dead soldiers resisted for a while, the large army took the opportunity to withdraw from the gap in the wall.

Marven galloped with a group of knights, and within a few minutes he caught up with the Moses who were fleeing for their lives.

With an angry roar, the tip of the heavy knight's spear began to rush out of the spear condensed by fighting energy, and the war horse under his crotch neighed, and he was about to charge.

"Remember to stay alive!" Marven commanded, and then he and Rogge blessed these knights with magical assistance.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, the hoplite knights, who were composed entirely of warriors, undoubtedly had an overwhelming advantage, and this unsuspenseful battle ended quickly, leaving three or four hundred fragmented corpses outside the city, and the last two remaining Moses were completely frightened to the point of collapse of their will, and under the coercion of Marven and others, they quickly revealed the main force of the rebels who launched this riot.

"They still have 3,000 people?" After hearing the information revealed by the two captives, Rogge frowned, and the cavalry captain on the side suggested: "Sir, they have too many troops, and there are also warriors, we are afraid that we will not have enough troops, do you want to send some more soldiers and horses from the city?"

Marven shook his head, "It's too late, we still need to chase dozens of miles to get to the place that the captive said, the city is full of heavy infantry and crossbowmen, they can't catch up at all, this is already all our mobile forces." ”

"What then?" said Rogge, anxious, "the Moses have taken all the captives to the Yar River, and we are too late to go, and Hammond and they will probably be executed as heretics!"

"I have a way!" After a moment of silence, Marven stretched out his finger and smiled meaningfully, "Master Rog, I don't know how you memorized the ancient book of Moses?"

"Marven, what are you talking nonsense!" Rogge was really taken aback when asked this question in front of a large group of fanatical jihadist, and then said with an awe-inspiring face: "I am a devout believer in the God of Light, and I will never look at these pagan things!"

Marven didn't answer, but just pointed to the large pile of Mosesian corpses on the ground, and Rogge immediately suddenly smiled, "Oh! I understand!"

The Yar River is an ordinary river flowing through the territory of the Iliad Kingdom, it is only a tributary of the Illo River, -------the largest river on the mainland, but its existence has revitalized the originally dry Iliad Wilderness, so this river enjoys a high status in the hearts of the Iliad people, and is called the "Mother River".

The Iliad was regarded by the Iliad as a gift from the Lord God of Moses, but whenever there was a major event, the Iliad would rush to the banks of the Yar River to make sacrifices to the all-powerful Lord God of Moses, and of course, the execution of the pagans and the expression of devotion to the true God were also an essential part of this sacrifice.

This year's sacrifice took place as scheduled, and the infidels captured from Dart town were burned at the stake.

"Hey, man! We're really just mercenaries, not Illuminati!" Hammond explained to the people around him with a dry mouth, seeing that the people around him didn't pay attention to him, just adding firewood, Hammond hurriedly said, "I don't believe you opened my package, and it contains my mercenary card......

"Let me tell you, we are members of the Holy Sword Mercenary Group, as long as you let us go, the Mercenary Group can provide you with a lot of preferential services......

"Hey, man, do you want to think about it again, an A-class mercenary group can help you retake Dart Town, and even drive back all the troops of the St. John's Empire!" Hammond shouted at the top of his voice, throwing out a huge decoy, hoping that these fanatical Moses would get out of the way.

I don't know if I was moved by his words, but an Iliad soldier in chain mail with the appearance of a leader walked up to him with a blank face.

Hammond hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Your Excellency, let us go, we can help you win this war......"

Before he could finish speaking, the officer in the chain mail gave him a fierce whip, "Victory, only the true God of all powers can bring us the greatest victory, you filthy and shameless here!" Don't bewitch the people here, no matter who you are, as long as you don't sincerely believe in the true God, your lowly and filthy soul will be full of sin......" Seeing that Hammond was still about to speak, the officer simply brought a stinking rag and sealed his mouth tightly.

"Shut up your damn foul mouth for me, or I'll turn you into a eunuch before I let you see the true God!"
