Chapter 100 Kemplonge Night
At this time, there is already an undercurrent in Kemplonge, and all parties are competing for the remaining resources and preparing to strike preemptively.
"Father, he admitted this himself."
Peter reported Assen's confession to Mircea, which made the Archduke furious.
"How dare they, I've given them so much, why aren't they satisfied?"
"Father, you should not underestimate their greed."
Mircea was completely angry, so Peter could only continue to persuade.
"The Roman Empire lasted for thousands of years, and several emperors died normally. Everyone wants to get more benefits, but it will never be fair."
"Father, we can't coddle them anymore, we must strike hard."
Peter told Mircea about their ambitions and that if they were not stopped, Wallachia would be in chaos in the future and their efforts would be in vain.
"If they are like this, then I can only do this."
"Order Adrian to lead part of the army to be on standby at any time. If there is any trouble, take it down immediately."
Mircea began to mobilize the army, and it happened that the time for the small unit to change defenses was coming, so such an order did not alert the other party.
At the same time, Mircea moved his wife and children to a monastery a few kilometers away from Kemplonga in case of emergency. Mircea also wanted Peter to go with him, but Peter refused.
"You should be with your mother."
"If a person only avoids, he will accomplish nothing."
Abraham and the others didn't know that someone had leaked their plan, and they were still proceeding in an orderly manner. But just the day before the launch, something unexpected happened.
Several cavalrymen appeared in the street, announcing the Grand Duke's orders.
"Thieves have been rampant recently, and the Grand Duke has ordered a curfew!"
The sudden announcement of a curfew was unprecedented in Wallachia. Because this was the first time it was announced in the form of a decree, the boyars began to worry.
"What should I do? A curfew is suddenly imposed and all activities at night must be stopped!"
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, we are almost ready. One more day and one less day will not be a problem."
Boyar was talking a lot, while Abraham, the leader, was thinking about what tricks the Grand Duke was playing. Is there really a banditry problem?
"Everyone, does the planned time remain unchanged?" said a younger boyar.
"No change, no problem."
Hearing this, Abraham figured out that the Duke must know their plan.
"Damn it, damn it. If that's the case, let's fight to the death!"
He was pacing back and forth, and his sudden roar startled the other boyars. Then they heard the order to launch early.
"My lord, some people are not ready yet. Our personnel within the military are not yet in place."
"We can't wait any longer. Mircea must have known about it. If we continue to wait, we will be the unlucky ones. Let's all prepare and take action today."
Seeing Abraham tell the most terrible fate, others were ordered to prepare. Only Asen locked himself in the house after learning the news and did not go anywhere, because he knew that a bloody storm was coming.
Soldiers patrolled the streets at night. Out of sight of them, another wave of people were armed and ready to strike.
They were street scoundrels hired by Boyar and members of his own family, as well as several Serbian mercenaries. As for the weapons, there are bows, arrows, swords and shields, and there are only a few armors, so the defense is pretty good.
After the soldiers passed Oltenia Street, a huge force of 200 people began to advance towards the Senate and the Grand Duke's residence. The journey went very smoothly, no one stopped me.
Soon they arrived at the Grand Duke's castle. There were only a few soldiers at the door. How could they miss such an opportunity. So he stretched out his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at them.
"If there are enemies, tell the Duke quickly..."
Before a guard could finish speaking, he ran over immediately. Although the guards' fighting ability was good, they could not withstand the large number of people on the other side and were quickly defeated.
"Everyone, rush in, capture Mircea, the enemy of Wallachia, and restore the glory of Wallachia."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch"
Everyone rushed in as if they had been beaten to death, and many reinforcements followed, totaling almost 500 people.
Some of these people went to the Senate and some to the church, striving to control the entire town, but they did not know that this would mean farewell forever.
After they broke into the official residence, they found that it was eerily quiet. The leader immediately realized that he had been fooled.
The surroundings suddenly burst into flames, and dense soldiers stood in various places, ready to give them a fatal blow at any time.
Mircea appeared before them in armor.
"You traitors, I thought I didn't treat you wrong, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing. God will not forgive you, and you will all go to hell."
After speaking, Mircea ordered the group of rebels to be wiped out. And captured Boyar and 35 of his family members.
In the church, local monks and soldiers defended the place. Patriarch Carroll also personally came on stage to encourage the defenders.
"God will always favor the brave, and those who betray will pay the price."
Just as they were fighting, the statue of the Virgin Mary inside the church suddenly glowed. The two monks lifted it out. The dazzling light made everyone kneel down to pray, and the confrontation stopped. Then Peter came with his cavalry and captured them all.
Throughout the night, the sound of fighting in Kemplonge gradually stopped. Some frightened citizens opened the door after confirming that they were safe, and found blood stains everywhere on the street. This made them afraid. They were just ordinary people and they should not get involved in any fights.
So far, Wallachia has wiped out 635 rebels, 70 of whom were boyar nobles, and 123 who were former boyar private soldiers. Now they have all been taken.
When Wallachian soldiers entered the estate, Abraham knew he had lost. He could only watch as he and his family were kidnapped and thrown into prison.
The prison van passed by slowly, and Abraham saw a familiar face in the crowd, Asen. He instantly understood who had betrayed them.
"Hahahahahahahaha, I should have thought of it earlier. Remember, you will end up with the same fate one day!"
Asen was frightened by his aura, but why did they take him with them? Without him, they might still be able to live well for a few days.
He didn't think about it, but quickly sold his property to a nearby manor and disappeared. No one knows where he went, only that the place was once the property of the ruler.
