Chapter 41: The Conflict at the City Gate
The sudden appearance of the Tenth Guards Legion, and the news that it was only a dozen miles away from the Holy Capital quickly spread in the streets and alleys of the Holy Capital, and the people and the ordinary nobles felt very unfamiliar with this name, because this Legion had hardly been circulated among the people, and it did not seem to be a highly successful army, but people's eyes were bright, and the rapid movement of the city defense army and the endless carriages of the military headquarters had proved to everyone that the Tenth Guards Legion had a great background.
But what kind of army is it? With such a question, countless gossip began to circulate among the people of the Holy Capital.
It is rumored that this army is composed of slaves, and the people in it are all low-status cannon fodder, some people say that this force played a certain role in resisting the invasion of the Binis Empire, and some people say that this force is the private army of His Royal Highness the Second Prince Calle Kotler, but no matter which rumor it is, it is constantly belittling the status of this army, and no one will care about such a discredited army.
According to the regulations of the Kotler Empire, the general of a legion is allowed to accompany a hundred soldiers when entering the capital, and this soldier is selected by the corps commander himself, but under normal circumstances, there are few regimental commanders who purchase a hundred, after all, if everyone has so many retinue soldiers, it is also a big challenge for the city to prevent security, you know, those soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they will draw knives to cut people if they disagree, for those people, ordinary patrol soldiers can not bear it.
The ghost didn't know that there was such a rule, so he happened to bring a hundred entourage soldiers, and he was already the commander of a legion, besides, this time he came to the Holy Capital to be troublesome, so it would be more confident to bring more people on the surface.
When the group arrived at the gate of the Holy Capital, it was almost evening, and there was still a period of time before the gate was closed, neither long nor short, but for the ghosts and ugly people, the time to let them enter was enough, but the matter was delayed at the gate of this city.
"I haven't heard of the 10th Guards Legion, put down your weapons and prepare to be inspected, I suspect that you are spies who will endanger the security of the Empire!" said the captain of the guard at the gate with a look of disdain, looking at the soldiers of the 10th Guards Regiment who came to negotiate, in a sneering tone.
"Keep your eyes open and take a good look, this is the badge of the 10th Guards Regiment issued by the military department, and you are questioning the military department's acceptance of fate! We have important information, and this responsibility is not something you can afford. ”
The soldiers of the 10th Guards Legion are not used to deliberately finding faults, the people of the 10th Guards Legion have always been above the top, and the Ink Feather Cavalry Regiment of the Binis Empire can't get any benefits in their hands, and the commander of a small city defense army still wants to find faults, I really don't know how to write the word dead.
However, the squad leader of the 10th Guards Legion obviously didn't expect that the city defense captain on the opposite side really didn't know how the dead word was written, "I said, there is no number of the 10th Guards Regiment in the records of our city defense army, and now I have reason to suspect that you are spies pretending to be enemies, put down your weapons!"
This captain spoke loudly, he had already attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians when he stopped the ugly troops, and now his words had aroused the recognition of the people around him, the Kotler Empire had just ended the war of aggression, and now it was sensitive to all hostile behaviors, and now this captain was engulfed in public opinion, and the situation of the 10th Guards Regiment immediately became a little embarrassing.
The city defense army has begun to assemble, as long as the ghost or the ghost ugly's subordinates have a change, then the city defense army can directly kill it, a little ghost and ugly and others fight back, the city defense army has enough reason to put the entire 10th Guards Regiment to death, the Kotler Empire stipulates that the impact on the gate of the holy capital is regarded as a rebellion, and everyone will be punished!
The negotiation was fruitless, the captain of the 10th Guards Legion ran back to report the situation to the ghost, the ghost waved him down, and came to the front of the city defense captain in person, the ghost ugly is now wearing a beast head mask, he is not tall, and even a little shorter than the city defense captain, but when the two people stand opposite each other, whether it is the captain himself or the passers-by who are watching the excitement around, they all feel that the figure of the ghost ugly has become extremely majestic, and the captain has become extremely small.
An invisible aura slowly shrouded the city gate, and the ghost ugly quietly looked at the city defense team leader in front of him with a little horror on his face, but there was a secret joy in the depths of his eyes, when he came over just now, the ghost ugly knew what this team leader wanted to do, and the tenth guard legion would have all kinds of difficulties if it wanted to gain a place in the big dye vat of the holy capital, and now it was just the most insignificant small problem.
"Get out of the way. ”
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, whoever you are, now please lay down your arms and accept the transfer of our city defense forces......"
"The Imperial Kotler Military Department has a clear law that the duties of the city defense army do not include investigations, the military department has its own investigation department, soldiers, what you just said is wrong. The ghost did not leave a chance for the captain of the city defense to refute, but continued: "The military law of the Kotler Empire clearly stipulates that contempt for superiors, ten lashes, and obstruction of important military information from being transmitted to the military department will be regarded as treason and punished with death. ”
"What are you?" the captain of the city defense squad couldn't help but have a trace of horror on his face after listening to the ugly words, others may not know, but he who was asked to make trouble for the 10th Guards Legion knew that these people in front of him were the soldiers of the 10th Guards Legion, and this young man with a mask was indeed the commander of this legion, as for the military methods he said later, it was not bad at all!
But Rao is like this, the captain of the city defense team is still ready to continue to pretend that he doesn't know, still tough, look at the sky and calculate the time, the team leader's heart can't help but secretly rejoice, as long as the time comes, the city gate should be closed, regardless of whether these people are spies or not, they will not be allowed to enter the holy capital, and forcibly entering is also regarded as treason, and the consequences are not something that the commander of the legion in front of him can bear.
"Insult your superiors, flogging ten, soldier, you have lost all the opportunities you can get reformed, carry it out. Before the captain of the city defense squad and the soldiers behind him could react, the two soldiers with obvious slave marks on their faces cleanly arrested the captain, and without seeing how to move, they heard the sound of tearing clothes, and everyone reacted, in less than five breaths, the captain's clothes had been stripped off, revealing the fat of the white flowers inside.
"Please punish the chief, there are two crimes for the time being, contempt for the superiors, insult the superiors, double crimes and punishment, and twenty lashes!"
When the words fell, the squad leader reacted from the shock, and was just about to open his mouth to order his subordinates, but suddenly felt a hot and sharp pain from behind, and the screams rose to the sky, the sound was amplified in the city gate hole, and a shocking wound instantly appeared on the back of the squad leader.
This sudden change made everyone dumbfounded, no one thought that the ghost would suddenly make a move, just like no one would think that a mere city defense captain would question a legion commander, the second whip fell quickly, and then a scream sounded outside the city gate, and at this time, those city defense soldiers had already stopped all the soldiers of the tenth guard legion, and their own commander was executed inside, and he was promoted to a subordinate to naturally save him.
The scuffle began as soon as the confrontation was pointed out, and for a while people outside the city gate turned on their backs, and both sides had a tacit understanding of useless weapons, but the result was a big surprise.
A scream and the city defense captain rushed out of the city gate one after another, the more than 50 city defense soldiers who rushed up in advance were almost put by their opponents in the face, the action was clean and neat, there was the slightest drag and water, for a while outside the city gate lay a city defense soldier, and then, the ghost ugly was whipped out again, the city defense captain who had been beaten more than ten times was unable to scream, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he was already more intake and less breath.
Immediately after that, the city defense soldiers of the other defense sections who got the warning also rushed over, without speaking or explaining, the soldier's nature to protect the short was explained from the moment he saw the wounded soldier in that place, without saying a word, without asking the reason, the second wave of nearly 100 people rushed forward again.
Because of this chaos, the people around the city gate have been far away, and even some vehicles have been turned around to enter through other city gates, and some people have turned around directly to prepare to spend the night outside the city gate, but more people are gathered around the periphery of the battle circle, watching the excitement with great interest.
Punches and kicks, screams, the fight starts fast and ends faster!
The people who stopped to watch around were surprised to find that this unknown Tenth Guards Regiment had an unexpectedly effective combat power, if it was an ordinary soldier, the people around them didn't think there was anything, but the bright slave marks on the faces of these soldiers made everyone feel incredible.
They are just slaves, why, how can they be the opponents of the city defense army? One after another the city defense soldiers rushed forward, one question after another came to the minds of the onlookers, and the soldiers of the 10th Guards Legion, who had beaten two groups of city defense soldiers in a row, still had the same expressions of sorrow, they did not have any characteristics of slaves, nor did they show any hostility towards the people around them who did not use their hands, they only saw the opponent, and then found the opponent and knocked him to the ground.
You know, the second wave of city defense soldiers has begun to use weapons, but they still use their bare hands to easily take down their opponents in an unscrupulous way.
"Twenty!"
When the words fell, there was a heavy bang, and the captain of the city defense team, who had lost his vital signs, fell heavily into the dust, and the ghost ugly glanced at the wounded people all over the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Military judge, convict!"
