Chapter 530 [Chaos (2) Siege]

Chapter 530

Chapter 530

In the early hours of the morning, a heavy rain suddenly fell on the sky of Osgiria, and the dense raindrops washed the city wantonly, as if taking away the last trace of warmth, and there were BSPs everywhere; The guards defending the city, their armor shiny from the rain, the soldiers stood in the rain, letting the rain flow down their necks into their close-fitting clothes, and the spears in their hands were slippery because of the rain.

On the triumphal arch, the Imperial Eagle Banner was still flying, but the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be getting lower and lower, almost submerging the Eagle Banner in that piece of soul.

This rain seems to have brought a slaughter!

Near the port area in the south of the city, at a remote junction, the door of a tavern is ajar. The tavern's sign was rusty, swaying back and forth in the rain and cold wind, not creaking.

In the past, in the bustling port area, in the taverns and brothel forests, the merchant ships brought water from all over the world, and the athletes who were used to fighting in the waves were willing to enjoy the taste of alcohol and women when they went ashore. Merchant, mercenaries, sailors, and travelers, speaking in a variety of accents and languages, would fill the harbor district, and laughter, singing, and the screams of women and the fighting of drunks could be heard in every tavern.

But now, the prosperity of the past is long gone, almost all the taverns in the port area have closed, and only a few or three are still barely open - this is only in the last few days, and the prohibition of alcohol was lifted in the imperial capital a few days ago, with the large amount of supplies brought in by the Lantiles, including a lot of liquor trafficked.

But even so, the port area is still so deserted, and only occasionally a few city guards guarding the docks in the port area will go into the tavern for a few drinks when the changing of the guard is on vacation.

This is exactly what the most prosperous port of the once largest city on the mainland looks like today: dilapidated and deserted.

In this tavern, the owner behind the counter was already lying in a coma there, with a glass of leftover wine next to him.

The dozen or so tables in the tavern were empty, except for a figure sitting alone in the corner, a barrel of ale on the table was halfway down, and a roast leg of lamb in front of him had not moved, it was already cold, the grease was solidified there, and there was a disgusting féi feeling.

The guests who sat there still poured ale into their mouths cup by glass, and he drank so much that he poured most of the glass with every lift of his hand. From behind, this man was extremely imposing, with short hairs and roots like steel needles! The sleeves of his arms were rolled up high, revealing his thick and strong arms, but the arms were full of shocking scars!

The remaining half barrel of wine quickly entered his stomach, and the drinker patted the table and drank in a deep voice: "Bring another barrel!"

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and then a hand reached out from behind him, and gently placed a barrel on the table, and then, immediately the owner of the hand, slowly turned to the table, and sat down in front of the guest.

The guest raised his eyelids and glanced at the person in front of him, as if frowning slightly: "You?"

"It's me. ”

As he spoke, the barrel had been opened, and the man took the glass and scooped it out, first took a big sip of his own mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and then scooped out another glass and put it in front of the guest.

The guest sneered: "The dignified Imperial General poured me wine, shouldn't I be very moved......?" General Ruhr?"

The expression on Ruhl's face was calm, and he just looked at the drinker and didn't speak.

The guest picked up the cup in front of him, poured it into his mouth in one gulp, then wiped his mouth vigorously and raised his eyebrows: "Say, come here to find me, what's the matter." ”

"I remember, you owe me a favor. Ruhl looked into the other's eyes.

After a moment of silence, the man finally nodded slowly: "Yes, that matter is indeed your favor, and I do owe you a favor." ”

"Now, I'm here to ask you for this favor. Ruhl's eyes were sharp, staring into the other's eyes.

This person faced Ruhl's sharp eyes, but he seemed to turn a blind eye, his expression was still so cold and indifferent, and even the corners of his mouth raised a disdainful smile: "Very good, what do you need? kill? or ......"

"Against a person, a master, a very powerful master. Ruhl exhaled slowly, and his voice was solemn: "There is no one around me who can do this, only to look for you." ”

"Master?" the man's face became more disdainful: "Samurai? or magician?"

"Right in Osgilia...... A samurai. Ruhl's answer was very succinct, but the next sentence finally moved the other party: "...... Overmatch. ”

“......”

This person's face changed, and the eyes that were originally drunk and bowed suddenly forced out a compelling brilliance, such a gaze shot on Ruhl's face, which actually made Ruer can't help but subconsciously shrink his head.

“...... Overmatch. The man took a deep breath: "The strong man in the city of Osgiria, are you talking about ......?"

"It's the one in the palace. Ruhl said lightly.

This man suddenly grinned, and a murderous aura came out of his whole body: "In the palace, what do you want to do? assassination or rebellion?"

"It's just a military admonition...... Or rather, save this empire. ”

The fire in this man's eyes quickly dimmed, he looked down and savored Ruhl's words, and after a while, sneered: "Save this empire...... Hmph, this kind of boring thing, you go to someone else. This empire...... It's already rotten, and I'm not interested in saving it, and it doesn't need me to save it. ”

"You have to go. Ruhl shook his head: "You are my only hope, and without you, we would not be able to deal with the one in the palace." And we all know very well that as long as there is that person by His Majesty's side, there are few people in this world who can move the emperor. So ......"

"I said, I'm not interested. The man shook his head: "Saving the empire or something, in my opinion, is shit." ”

"You'll go. Ruhl took a deep breath: "Because, what you're saying now is just resentment. Because, you know in your heart, if General Spann were still alive, he would have done the same. ”

As he spoke, Ruhl had already stood up, drank another glass, put the cup on the table, and said lightly: "Just after dawn, you will see fire and smoke in the direction of the palace, at that time, it is the time for us to move, I hope you will appear at that time." ”

With that, Ruhl immediately turned and walked towards the door.

"What if I don't go!" the man asked, turning around and looking at Ruhl's back.

Ruhl stopped, he turned his head and looked at the man's face: "If you don't go, we'll just die." His voice was low and filled with a hint of indignation: "In the past, when the city was besieged, General Spann once said, 'The city is broken, and I, Span, should die!', and today, I am just that!"

The man's brows furrowed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice: "Is it you who is the mastermind, or is it ...... Adric?"

"Is there a difference?" Ruhl sneered, "I, Adric, the dead General Span, we are all just for this empire." Mr. Yelin, I know that you are a strong man and do not want to participate in this kind of worldly strife, but today, if you don't go, we will just die under the imperial city like General Spann did in the past. But this is the way we must go!"

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the fat man had disappeared outside the door.

In the tavern, Yelin sat there silently for a long time, and suddenly a complicated smile appeared on his face.

"Worthy of death...... Hey!Damn it!!"

※※※

When the sky was bright, the rain seemed to slow down a bit. Before dawn, the defenders of the Arc de Triomphe were amazed at the number of heralds who had left the city with the passage documents signed by the military headquarters. Although these heralds were all dressed in the uniforms of ordinary heralds, they were obviously all strong and strong men, and after holding the warrant for the city guards to open the door and let them go, they quickly disappeared into the rain curtain.

Originally, I just thought it was an ordinary transmission of military orders, but after the sky was bright, the city guards finally realized that something was wrong!

At daybreak, troops came from outside the city, but they were the 2nd and 9th Corps, which were originally stationed on the outskirts of Oorgillia.

They entered the city through the six gates, and all of them showed the orders of the military headquarters. Four flag regiments, a total of 10,000 people of the elite of the Central Army, just when the sky was bright, drove straight into the imperial capital.

Several city gates on the eastern front of Osgilia, including the Triumphal Arch, where the city guards were located, almost all received the most urgent martial law order signed by the military department at the same time in the morning, and this military order was actually signed by General Adric, the emperor's minister, strictly ordering the defenders of each city gate to immediately close the city gates and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.

As soon as the lockdown order was issued, the city guards quickly closed the city gates.

Immediately, this majestic city was completely isolated from the outside world!

......

In the morning, a makeshift military camp in the north-central part of the city of Osgiria.

This temporary barracks is located near a square in the north-central part of the city of Osgilia. This military camp was built entirely to accommodate the noble army of King Qin who had been mobilized by many noble families of the empire.

Originally, the garrison of Osgilia, even the central army, was stationed in the suburbs outside the city, and only the city guards guarded the imperial capital.

But among these aristocratic armies, most of the people who led the army were the sons of nobles, where were they willing to endure the hardships of the garrison in the wilderness? Moreover, the imperial capital was such a continental city in front of him, who was willing to let the city live in the city and go to the outside of the city to live in barracks tents?

And His Majesty also gave special treatment to these noble sī troops, making an exception to allow several wealthy noble sī armies to enter the city and station, and also specially turned the northeast region out to these people.

The original order was to only allow the sī army of a few wealthy families to enter the city, but when the order came below, it became a taste, and most of the sī army of the big wealthy nobles ran into the city and stationed in the city, and once they entered, they refused to leave the city again because they were in the city.

No matter what these people say, they all came in the name of King Qin, and although the emperor was a little helpless about this, he couldn't forcibly expel them, so he had to acquiesce in the matter.

These nobles and soldiers were stationed in the city, and they only roamed around the city every day with their personal guards. Military discipline is also lax, and there is no way to go in and out of the barracks, and even some soldiers can't bear the loneliness and summon prostitutes into the barracks for fun.

These aristocratic sī soldiers, where there are any formal drills, have to sing until midnight every night, and the next day, often do not get up until the sun is sunburned.

The leading masters above are all in this style, where will those sergeants below be idle?

A huge military camp, every day is noisy, idle people come and go, the army drinks at will, and even gambles, it is just an ordinary thing, as for the guards of the garrison camp, it is even more useless.

On this morning, some soldiers yawned and ran to the gate of the barracks, reminded the soldiers who were napping under the camp wall, scolded a few words, and then climbed onto the watchtower, just looked out, but immediately woke up from the hangover drunkenness!

Just outside the barracks, a black-pressed team had already blocked the outside of the camp gate! Swords were like a forest, and the armor was shining! But they were all wearing the costumes of the Imperial Central Army!

The defenders at the camp gate immediately ran in to report, but those noble lords were still dreaming in their own barracks, and many women were even holding white flowers in their nests.

It wasn't until the camp panicked for about an hour that the whole camp finally sounded a noisy noise, and the leaders of the nobles woke up from the bed and ran out in a panic, and many people didn't understand what was going on, until someone shouted, ran to the camp gate to watch, and ran back in a panic......

Soon, the news that the Central Army had surrounded the camp finally spread.

Some of the nobles were a little more flexible, and they immediately sensed that something was wrong, and they ran back to their camps to order the queue. Some of them were more reckless, so they went directly to the camp gate to shout and scold, reprimanding the central army outside for their reckless behavior.

But no matter what, the black-pressed Central Army blocking the outside maintained a frightening silence! The queue was outside, the platoon was square, and even the bows in the hands of the soldiers were half open!

A few nobles with not very flexible brains rushed to the outside of the camp to scold and reprimand, but after only two shouts, the central army on the opposite side swept over unceremoniously with a rain of arrows, and suddenly those nobles who were still scolding were shot into hedgehogs by arrows!

Seeing this scene, everyone really panicked! Those central troops blocked the camp gate, and they actually dared to let go and kill people! Isn't it ...... Isn't it...... Isn't it the other way around?!!

Once everyone came to this conclusion, everyone was really as pale as dirt.

The leaders of the various noble armies gathered together, everyone was panicked, where could anyone come up with an idea?

Finally, after coaxing for a long time, the two leaders with the most powerful family were elected, and the two who were elected went up to the tower with trembling, and were about to shout outside, but suddenly saw that among the central army columns outside, a horse galloped out, rushed to the gate of the camp, raised his hand and shot an arrow, and with a snatch, the arrow shaft was nailed to the wooden fence of the tower, and a roll of cotton cloth was tied.

"Listen to the people in the camp! This is a military order written by Lord Adric of the military headquarters! Now that Oskilia has entered the military control! Our central army has been ordered to take over the defense of the city! Order your army to stay in the camp temporarily, not to enter or leave the camp, not to make trouble, not to make noise, and to wait for orders in place! If anyone makes any unauthorized move during this period, they will be killed by military law!"

These words were shouted twice, and the knight outside was full of anger, and the voice came in, and immediately everyone at the door listened carefully and carefully, and then everyone's faces became as white as paper!

Military management?

Adric?

Do not tamper ...... Lawfully kill on sight?!!

People with a little bit of brains now understand what happened!

This...... It's a big one!!

After a moment of shock, several noble leaders suddenly shouted.

"We are the !! of the aristocracy"

"We are the Sī Army, and the military department has no authority to order us!"

"Why is Adric holding us!!"

"That Scarface, this is a rebellion!!"

"There are twenty or thirty thousand people in our camp, and we are still afraid of him, rush out and kill all these untouchables!!"

In the midst of all the chaos, there are indeed those few who have made a move.

Whether it's genuinely loyal to the royal family, or just simple-minded and reckless. Several nobles immediately angrily gathered their subordinate sī troops and ordered them to march out of the camp and charge into battle.

What's more, in the noble sī army in the city, before the Duke of Minas went south, they were selected and the slightly more decent ones were selected into the army of the southern expedition, where would the rest of these people have any good goods?

Several sparse teams were forced out of the camp gate by Shangguan, but they were greeted by an unceremonious wave of arrows from the Central Army!

These central armies are the real elite of the imperial capital, originally the second and ninth corps of the central government, and they have experienced countless bloody battles in the defense of the imperial capital, where can these rabble contend with?

The aristocratic army rushed three times, the first time it managed to rush out of the camp a hundred steps, but the last two times, no matter how the old men behind urged, the team was sparse and refused to move forward. The only result was that hundreds of corpses were thrown outside the camp.

The last time, even before the team rushed out of the door, the central army on the opposite side suddenly blew the trumpet of the charge, and a group of central troops came out, which frightened the courage of these noble lords, and hurriedly ordered the camp gate to be closed.

Finally, after the urgent negotiation of several noble lords in the camp, a white flag was soon hoisted on the guard tower at the camp gate.

Soon, at the behest of the Central Army, the gates of the garrison's camp were opened, and the nobles in the camp were required to all line up under the command of the Central Army.

The nobles lined up one by one to surrender their weapons, and then the men sat down in the square of the camp under the strict supervision of the Central Army.

Just when the nobles were sitting on pins and needles one by one, panicking, in the morning, there was movement in the direction of the palace!

This is the tradition of the empire, and every time there is an emergency, the bell rings in the palace to summon the army in the city.

At this moment, such a bell rang out, which immediately made all the nobles tremble!

The Imperial Palace! The Imperial Palace has rang the bell! These central armies are really reversing! They must have attacked the Imperial Palace!
