Chapter 278: The Aid of the Three Strings (I)
Makarov took this reinforced wing with him, on a troop transport temporarily seconded from the Frontier Corps, through the icy Zazusa River, to the pier, known as the heart of Banki.
But to Makarov's disappointment, it was not at all what he expected, it was not as orderly as he imagined, and there was only a chaotic scene like the end of the world. When they docked unhindered at the docks, not even a single person came to ask them about the purpose of their trip.
In fact, the staff on the dock can't be blamed for this, because the whole dock is already in chaos now. The workers who looted the goods scattered all over the place, and even killed each other, did not show how honest and responsible they usually were. They are like beasts that have been suddenly released from their cages, driven by instinct, to vent their long-standing repressions.
Makarov looked at the troops that had finally disembarked and assembled under the command of the commander of the provisional wing, and Makarov was very satisfied with the neat appearance and intimidating momentum: 'This is my unit, this is the sharp sword that has helped me to make a career and return to the official formation!'
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are a proud triad, we are part of the great empire! Today, we have been invited here by His Excellency the Grand Duke of Luxembourg to show our bravery and spread the glory of the empire! Are you ready for this!?" Makarov said loudly, standing in front of the neatly lined up of mercenaries.
"Ready!!" a loud and neat response sounded on the dock. The mercenaries struck each other with their swords and shields vigorously, making a neat and shocking sound of gold artifacts. The sound of "bump!", "bump!", "bump!", kept echoing.
"Well, then, I declare that the first task of this battle is...... Those who clean up the riots here, whoever they are and who participate in the chaos are to be put to death on the spot!" Makarov commanded loudly.
"Yes!" several officers who were at his side immediately responded, and quickly took their troops on duty.
In the final analysis, the rioters at the docks are just some dock workers who usually have no military training, and in the face of the battle-hardened quasi-professional soldiers, they naturally have no power to resist. The outcome of the battle was also expected by Makarov and others, and it took almost no time for the situation at the pier and its environs to be completely suppressed.
Makarov looked at the battlefield being cleaned. That is, the men who cleaned up the corpses. Summoning a few officers, he commanded: "A few of you and your men will go around the town, and when you have found either Viscount Rick or Viscount Fisher and Earl Steyer, inform them that we have arrived." How to act. ”
"Yes!" the officers commanded.
"And don't forget. You are looking for someone at the same time. We also have to observe the situation in the town, and we have to have first-hand information, so that we can fight more smoothly in the future. Makarov instructed them further.
"Is it necessary to be so nervous? We are the elite of the elite selected from the entire division. One of the officers said with no one in his eyes, apparently despising such a skirmish, and looking at the expressions of the people around him, they did not understand the reason for Makarov's caution.
"Bastard!" Makarov scolded without hesitation when he heard this, and then said: "Don't think that we have a lot of people and our troops are so arrogant because of their strong combat effectiveness. The other party is a red-robed mage! And this time I heard that at least one chief will appear, and that is the existence of a legion-level enemy that can completely destroy the legion-level enemy by himself, you guys should be careful for me! Do you understand?!"
"Understood!" replied the scolding officer.
"Don't go soon!" Makarov yelled.
Then the officers set out in several directions with small units.
An elite mercenary group made up entirely of professional soldiers, they soon found Rick Luxemburg, who was organizing a garrison to suppress the adventurer's rebellion. Then, after helping them quell the rebellion, he brought Rick and the others to the docks.
"What the hell are the Debich family doing!?Is this how they came to repay the kingdom by handing over such an important dock to their family?!I don't think they want that baron title anymore, they must strip him of his title, and then confiscate all his family property!" Rick said angrily.
These were the first words Viscount Rick said when he arrived on the docks, which had just calmed the chaos. Although he had already made up his mind to severely punish Baron de Bisch and his family, he did not know that Baron Debich and his immediate family had been dead for a long time, and even the servants and guards were almost all dead.
"Your Excellency, since we have come here to participate in the war at the invitation of His Excellency the Duke, it is up to you to decide the strategic command. What should we do next?" Makarov asked as he approached an angry Rick.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Makarov, for coming. Time is pressing, so I won't say much nonsense. The most important thing now is to suppress the adventurer unrest in the town, and if these lawless loaches don't suppress them quickly, more loaches will join in. I think your troops will split into several waves, and follow my men to the main troublemakers to quickly suppress them!" Rick said loudly, speaking very quickly because of the time constraints.
"Okay, we'll do as you say, and I'll send someone down at once." Makarov said loudly.
"Thank you again for your support. Rick said gratefully. The town is the lifeblood of Luxembourg's economy, and the more chaos it causes, the greater the family's losses. Makarov, who arrived at this time, was like a life-saving straw, which made Rick full of gratitude to him.
"This is what we should do, as long as His Excellency the Duke of Zhilu Dao can remember our agreement. Makarov said modestly.
"Definitely not. Rick assured firmly.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you here. Rick said to Makarov as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"It's about the new 'weapon' of the reds...... Rick said to Makarov.
Then, Rick told Makarov all the information about the zombies that he had just learned from the Count's people. (To be continued......)
