339 Disorder
Countless torches were crammed outside the granary in the east of Astapor.
The dusk flames shook in the night wind, illuminating people's faces.
The air was filled with restless emotions and sounds, and people shouted loudly and pushed each other, as if they were about to rush up and forcibly grab food in the next second.
But in the face of a group of unsullied people who were heavily armed and cold as ice sculptures, people didn't dare to really rush forward after all.
The situation is frozen here.
"Someone has to take the lead!" Mrs. Ulho said, looking at Cleon with agitation.
Of course, Cleon understood what she meant, and this was for him to take the lead in rushing up to grab the food.
"Don't wait any longer...... Wait a little more. ”
Mrs. Ulho was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and she stared coldly into the man's eyes:
"Do you want to be a butcher for the rest of your life? Or do you want to be a good lord? ”
"I'm ......" Cleon gritted his teeth and finally nodded, "Good!" I'll go! ”
With that, he pulled the woman by, gave her a rough kiss, and then strode into the crowd.
The further he went, the more Cleon could see the Unsullied ones guarding the granary.
These cold killing machines, even in the face of the boiling crowd, did not have a trace of fluctuation in their eyes.
He had no doubt that if he took the lead in rushing forward, he would be confronted by the cold spears of the Unsullied.
Just as Cleon was thinking about how to avoid becoming a victim, he saw that the Unsullied who were guarding the granary actually began to line up.
Then, he abandoned the warehouse gate and began to evacuate!
The Unsullied are withdrawn!
Cleon grinned, squeezing forward with more and more excitement.
Now there is no danger in taking the lead in storming the granary.
Of course, this also means that he is not needed to take the lead.
Sure enough, the crowd immediately seemed like restless monsters, stretching their bloated bodies and rushing towards the granary.
It didn't take long for Cleon to be happy when he realized that something was wrong.
The departure of the Unsullied also means that order is lost in this area. The already restless crowd gradually fell into madness in the face of the temptation of food and the hint of herd mentality.
People scrambled and shoved, rushing to the barn door, for fear that the food inside would be snatched up by others if they took a step too slow.
And the first few people who came out carrying food didn't want to leave safely, and they were surrounded and robbed when they went out. There was immediately a chaotic battle in front of the granary gate.
Countless people fell, and many more crowded in. But it's easy to squeeze in, and it's even harder to leave safely with food.
The hysteria completely overwhelmed people's sanity, and even later, people forgot their original intentions, killed red eyes, and fought headlessly.
But the precious grain was scattered on the ground, trampled down, stained red with blood, but no one could take care of it.
Such chaos soon spread and gradually spread throughout Astapor.
Some thugs took advantage of this opportunity to wander around the city, burning, killing and looting, venting their evil and desires.
By this time, the situation in Astapor was completely out of control.
With the exception of the South Gate, which was guarded by the Unsullied, the other three gates were opened, and the people began to flee.
The Cats and Lancers, who had just returned to their camp, did not hesitate to attack Astapor again after learning of the outbreak of civil unrest in the city.
At this time, Mrs. Ulho and Cleon, who had instigated the riot, were a little apprehensive.
Because this chaos has exceeded their expectations, along the streets, people are scurrying around, and as far as the eye can see, there is killing and fire everywhere.
All kinds of roars and cries came and went.
"What about the Unsullied?" Mrs. Ulho was protected in the middle by a dozen servants, but still could not hide the tension in her tone.
"I didn't see it......" Cleon was also sweating profusely, and with his ability, he didn't know how to quell this trouble.
They had thought that the Unsullied would come out to maintain order and clash with the people, which would keep the civil strife at a less intense level to a certain extent, but it would also contain the power of the Unsullied and give the mercenary groups outside the city a chance to kill in.
But who knows, the Unsullied directly played and disappeared.
So, who will quell this riot?
Mercenary group?
Where is the Unsullied? What are you doing?
Mrs. Uljo suddenly realized that things were out of her control.
Also discovering that something is wrong is the commander of the Spear Regiment, Jilo Reha.
As soon as the gates were opened, he led his cavalry into the city.
I thought I would see the fight between the innocent and the chaotic people, but who knows, but I only saw the chaotic people, the crazy chaotic people.
And some people were crazy enough to attack the pikes.
After the initial stunned, Commander Gilo decisively gave the order to suppress the riot.
After all, the contract signed by the Lancers required them to help the old nobles take control of Astapor, so naturally they could not let these rebels ruin the city and ruin the reputation of the Lancers.
So, groups of cavalry began to gallop along the streets, and the bright spears continued to pierce out, mercilessly slaughtering these crazy rebels.
At this time, the group of cats also rushed into the city under the leadership of the regiment leader Bloodbeard, and they were a little dumbfounded when they saw this chaos.
However, since you have come in, you must not exit again.
Bloodbeard scolded the old nobles of Astapor, but he could only give the order to quell the chaos.
But it's easy to incite riots, but it's hard to suppress them.
It would be fine if the mercenary group had overwhelming strength, but the problem is that they don't.
The combined number of the two mercenary groups is only 2,000 people, and the quality of the mercenaries is uneven. In the face of tens of thousands of mobs in a frenzy, it is really difficult to resist.
The rebels suffered heavy casualties, but the casualties of the mercenaries also increased.
Soon, the battle in the city became a bad one.
The most chaotic, of course, is near the granary in the east of the city.
Mrs. Urho now regretted not so much that she had instigated the riot, but that she had not left the eye of the most chaotic storm sooner.
After all, she underestimated the gravity of the riots.
Now some of the red-eyed rebels had taken a fancy to her carriage and thought that there must be something good in the noble lord, so they began to storm her guards.
The guards drew their swords and slashed, and several of the rioters fell screaming, but more rioters poured up.
They surrounded Mrs. Ulho's carriage and kept attacking.
And at this moment, Cleon rushed over and shouted at the rebels:
"What are you untouchables doing! In the carriage was Mrs. Ulho, the wife of the good lord of Grazdan! How dare you be rude to her! ”
Mrs. Ulho was still slightly happy when she saw the big-shouldered and thick-waisted Cleon return, but when she heard his shout, her face immediately changed greatly.
Idiot!
Mrs. Ulho was eager to strangle this stupid butcher at once.
Sure enough, when the rebels outside heard that it was the widow of the good lord, they suddenly became even more excited. One by one, with red eyes, rushed to the carriage like crazy.
