Chapter 215: Gold Coin Offensive
Just when all the members of the Nolan family entered the tunnel, thinking that they could escape, bad news suddenly came from the front of the mercenaries to make trouble.
Lancer was furious and angry at the news, but he tried his best to hide his fear, and ordered his guards to split up in half and rush over to support.
For a time, many people who did not know why were pushed and shoved by the soldiers, and they used their weapons to mercilessly pump and beat, knocking those innocent people away from each other, regardless of age, and many people fell directly into the water, and those who did not have time to go ashore were swept away by the water.
At this time, you can't pay attention to kindness, you can't clear the way forward, everyone is a dead end, Lancer looked at the black head in the tunnel, and couldn't help but regret taking so many people.
Looking at his son, who was panicked and only knew how to run forward, Lancer was even more desperate, and when he thought that the family would be handed over to this person in the future, he felt even more congested in his qi and blood, and the sky was spinning, and it was difficult to stand with his cane.
"Master, there are few mercenaries, they are not our opponents, people can trample them to death when they squeeze over, and the pursuers are the biggest threat." Dalma held the old master and reminded, "I'm familiar with this place, take someone to stay behind to stop the pursuers, you and the eldest young master hurry forward."
"If it's urgent, change into civilian clothes and find a way to infiltrate Herodes." Dalma then instructed, "The Herodians need us, so if you show your hatred for the demons, they will do you good."
With that, Dalma turned and left with his men, heading backwards towards the most dangerous line of defense.
Lancer hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and chased after his son with the few guards.
It's a deadly race against time, with a large number of people trapped in tunnels unable to move forward, and the chaos can be imagined.
Under the danger, everyone's desire to survive has been magnified, in order to allow themselves to move forward, the strong and strong flee in order to seize the road, constantly squeezing and trampling others, and the tunnel has become a hell on earth.
The breath of death and the cries of despair filled the entire tunnel, but on the blocked road at the front, the private soldiers could not move an inch.
They had no idea that this group of rebellious mercenaries would be so fierce and cunning, and that they could be so difficult.
Originally, there were only more than 100 mercenary troops, and they had no advantage compared to the family private soldiers with nearly 400 people, and even thousands of young and strong people could trample them to death.
However, after all, the tunnel is narrow, and there is an underground river flowing in the middle, and the narrow road on both sides can only be two people in parallel, and it is difficult for many people to fight in this kind of place.
The mercenaries led by Ethan are all veterans, who have worked under the demons for many years, and have suppressed many unrest near Silver Dragon Castle, all of them are extraordinary, and they are more than enough to deal with the family's private soldiers.
The rivers and lakes are experienced, can fight and run, and thanks to the generosity of Lord Vincent, the mercenaries are also equipped with a lot of new weapons, not only the swords are sharp, the armor is strong, and even the simple pistols with a single shot are more than a dozen.
There is no way to retreat backwards, and the forward is a self-defeating net, and the regimental commander Ethan is angry at the crown, but now he has completely calmed down, and he understands that there is only one way to survive, that is, to wait until the territorial army comes to the rescue, or hope that the Noren family will not be able to withstand the pressure before and after to surrender.
"Old folks, the time has come for the gods to make us rich, and no one wants to leave their gold coins and run away or surrender, right?" Essen cheered up the mercenaries while fighting, "Not only the loot, but also the lord's reward, after this battle, everyone can buy a big house in the Silver Dragon Castle, and the money saved will not be spent in this life!"
The mercenaries looked at the treasure chest behind them, and they all mustered up the courage to pick up all the weapons they could use, and used their bodies to block the same red-eyed private soldiers, and the two sides killed you to the death in the dim and flickering firelight.
"Come on, the mercenary lords have given you gifts, and your hands are fast and slow!"
After the battle, Essen threw a large amount of gold coins over the heads of people and into the private soldiers in front, and the familiar sound of clanging made many private soldiers greedy, they didn't care about fighting, just bent down to pick up money, and even fought with the people around them, making the situation even more chaotic.
See the enemy get into the mix
In the chaos, the mercenaries were greatly demoralized, wielding weapons and constantly slashing and killing the enemy, and they also lost no time in firing cold guns, and they actually pressed the private soldiers who were several times their own number and could not move forward.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leaders of the private soldiers directly cut down a few guys who were competing for gold coins to warn, and under the fierce scolding and supervision, the private soldiers regained their senses a little, regardless of the mercenaries' gold coin harassment and pressed up again, fighting to the death to grab the way to survive.
Faced with the casualties of his brothers, the regimental commander Essen naturally did not sit still, he held the gold coin in his hand and set his eyes on the crowd behind the soldiers.
"Hey, tenants, poor ghosts, here are the money that the lord took from your pockets!"
The private soldiers with higher salaries will lose their minds when they see the gold coins, not to mention those peasants who have been digging in the soil all year round, and finally got a few sons and had to be taken away by the landlord!
The crash of the coins on the ground quickly quieted the chaotic and noisy crowd.
"Gold! It's time for gold!"
Someone caught it and shouted excitedly, and the sound aroused the minds of everyone around them.
Soon, the great crowd forgot about the danger in an instant, and when they saw the hungry livestock, they fed on it, and swarmed up desperately, lying on the ground and fighting for me.
In order to grab the gold coins, the poor burst out with the courage of the American army, and actually pressed the private soldiers to move an inch, and groped everywhere under their feet, and even put the private soldiers down.
Seeing this scene, the mercenaries were overjoyed, and they began to throw gold coins into the private soldiers, watching the private soldiers fight with the people, it was extremely pleasant.
The team, which was already difficult to advance, was completely stagnant, unable to drive away, all order was lost, and many people were injured and killed in this crowd, and no one cared if they fell into the water.
"No, Boss, it's not your own money, is it?" Someone noticed the strangeness of the matter, so he whispered to Essen, "There are so many boxes on the ground, can't you just smash them open?"
"Stupid, is that magic that you can touch casually? Maybe it will explode or poison it," Essen straightened up, grabbing the coin from his purse and throwing it over without any distress, "Don't care about this small loss, stop this group of traitors, can our lord treat us badly?"
"Huh? Are you still going back?"
"Why don't you go back? I've thought about it, instead of licking blood and begging for a living, it's better to take Qian Yinlongbao and become a rich man, where you can't go wrong in the future!" As if he had deliberately raised his voice, Essen shouted to his subordinates, "I heard that the leader has done something...... Bank, put the gold coins in it and eat interest, you will have to eat and drink for the rest of your life, everyone hold on, Miss Wald's reinforcements are almost here!"
Meanwhile, Ninia's forces are confronted by a group of strange privateers, and the invincible gunfire doesn't work much against them.
The privately held soldiers who had been shot were only slightly sluggish, but the resistance did not stop, so the progress of the pursuit was also hindered.
Just as Ninia was thinking about using her divine power to bombard the group of enemies, a pale and slender hand suddenly landed on her shoulder without noticing.
The brave and resourceful generals were also so frightened that they almost suffocated.
