Chapter 88, then you stay
Old Norris, who was disheveled, had completely lost his former demeanor.
He was going to surrender to the governor.
In his opinion, although the rebellion of the coalition councillors has been dismantled, the future of the city is destined to be decided by the governor.
But in order for the governor to rule, he must not rely on himself, and a certain class and a certain group of people must be needed to carry out his will and carry out his policies.
He Norris did lose before, but he conceded defeat. He was willing to pay the price, willing to help the governor rule the city, and in the process of regaining his rightful share of the rule.
In his opinion, this was a matter of course, and the Governor would have agreed. The only thing to consider is how much authority would the Governor be willing to leave him?
It was with this in mind that he gathered and armed the workers. This is a move to increase the weight of one's own surrender. In this way, he was demonstrating to others how much control he had over the city's important brick-and-mortar industries, so that he could receive greater attention from the Governor.
However, after the governor entered the city, the envoys he sent were not able to meet His Excellency the governor at all, let alone discuss any conditions.
Immediately afterwards, Lambert led his army to surround his fortress factory and demanded that he surrender unconditionally.
By this time, he was feeling a little bad.
Asking Lambert to bring someone in charge of besieging his factory was a strong signal in itself.
He's Lambert's killer!
If the Governor intended to accept his surrender, it stands to reason that Lambert should not have been sent, and that would not have exacerbated the conflict?
But he still had a glimmer of hope and tried to negotiate, but Lambert did not come in at all and gave an ultimatum.
When he heard the ultimatum, Norris couldn't believe it: the Governor really didn't want me? I'm the biggest business tycoon in Fuxing City! The whole city is inseparable from me for the resumption of work and production, and the livelihood of countless workers is tied to me! You dare to want me to die like this?
Then, when the time came for the ultimatum, ten heavy guns, opened fire on the plant.
A round of shells fell, and black smoke rose from all over the plant. A cannon of 155 mm caliber, enough to penetrate the plant, creating terrible damage inside.
The whole factory was full of wailing.
Among them, Norris's office on the top floor of the main building of the factory was also hit. If it weren't for the ultimatum being issued, he was dragged into the basement by the bodyguards in advance, and I am afraid that there would have been no bones left by this time.
He was at a loss, his head completely filled with fear.
And he wasn't the only one who was in deep fear.
After a round of shelling, the armed workers, who were not too well prepared, suffered very heavy casualties.
If it weren't for a group of people in dark blue robes, shouting everywhere and stabilizing order, I am afraid that after a few rounds of shelling, the morale inside would have completely collapsed.
They called on armed workers to take refuge in sturdy factories and build fortifications from debris, building materials, and discarded machines to withstand shell fragments and shock waves, or to take refuge in basements and prepare for shells. And then when the governor's lackeys attack, give them some color.
With the encouragement of the blue-robed men, the morale of the armed workers was somewhat stabilized.
In the basement, watching the blue-robed men constantly coming in and out, busy coming and going, his dull face suddenly became a little more vivid.
"Yes, yes, yes...... I'm not done yet...... You! Stop it! ”
Norris tugged at one of the blue robes.
"I am your most important collaborator, and you must protect me! I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to ......."
Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed away by a current of air.
The blue-robed man stared at him and said, "Coward, if you want to escape, go by yourself, we will continue to fight here." ”
There was fanaticism in his eyes.
Norris yelled, "You're going to die! ”
The blue-robed man's gaze was even more contemptuous: "True God believers are not afraid of death, and we want to teach those governor's lackeys a profound lesson!" ”
"You're crazy!"
The blue-robed man ignored him and ran up.
Busy in the factory, intent on resisting to the end, a desperate Norris is like an abandoned old dog.
……
In another basement of the factory, the original High Priest Trikao was also located.
He was accompanied by two men in gray robes. Their outfits were very similar to the Howling Wind Divine Envoys that Gu Hang had encountered in the xenomorphic woodland.
They were indeed the two divine envoys of the Primordial Raging Owl Sect, and their identities were equivalent to the howling wind that died in Gu Hang's hands, and they were the other two of the twelve divine envoys.
The Shadowwind Emissary was a fat woman, and her fat body could not be concealed even by a wide robe; The Gale Divine Emissary is a very strong man.
"The gift of the storm has already been planted?" Trikao asked.
The two oracles bowed together: "By obedience, they have been planted." ”
Trikao's expression was filled with compassion: "God's people will return to the kingdom of God, then we should also go, and there are greater plans waiting for us to give." ”
The faces of the two oracles were filled with excitement.
The voice of the Shadow Wind Divine Envoy even trembled a little from excessive intoxication: "I can't wait to see the storm come." ”
The Gale Divine Envoy next to him calmed down a lot: "Don't indulge, the plan has to be launched in advance because of the Governor, and we are not so sure." ”
"It's just too cautious!" The Shadowwind Envoy was interrupted to climax, looking dissatisfied, and her shrill voice rang out, "We could have dedicated this city to the storm a long time ago, but only for the sake of ......"
At this point, she stopped abruptly. She saw Trikao's gaze and looked at her.
"This is the will of the storm." Trikao said with a smirk on his lips, "Shadowwind, you haven't grasped the Lord's will enough. You stay. ”
Shadow Wind's eyes, which were originally crowded into fat, suddenly widened: "No, no, no! I don't, I don't mean anything resentful. ”
"It's not a punishment for you." Trikao's smile became even kinder, "This is a test for you. Those lowly maids who come from outside the heavens and are pseudo-emperors will affect the Lord's career. This time, not only do we have to create chaos in the city and attract the attention of the governor, but we also have to eliminate the puppet emperors and servants as much as possible. It's a pity that only seven of them came this time. Still, you have to do your best, understand? ”
The Shadowwind Envoy wanted to refuse, but in the end, she could only bow her head in obedience.
Trikao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Shadowwind, and I hope I can hear good news from you later." ”
