Chapter 598 Night of the blood mist
The Kingdom of Ilya, the capital of Viana.
Evening hours.
bang! bang! bang!
Beyond the inner city wall that separates the noble district from the civilian district, the sound of cannons roared in a somewhat disorderly manner. Gunpowder, flames, and shouts completely turned this ancient city into a chaotic battlefield.
Dang——
As the alarm bells sounded in the city, more and more Vinaya citizens flocked to the streets, most of whom were farmers and factories outside the city who had lost their livelihoods. The workers, the urban poor. Holding all kinds of weapons, they gathered in front of the city gate in the inner city.
As Isabella expected at the beginning, in the third rank of the kingdom, peasants and urban civilians are the main body, and they are also the main force in this effort to overthrow the tyranny of the royal family.
“Freedom of the person, equal rights!”
“Down with nobles and kings!”
“The people are the masters of the country!”
An impassioned cry resounded throughout the city.
The trigger for everything was the young starving death found outside the inner city wall a few hours ago, and this is not an isolated case. The crowd first gathered to demonstrate for this purpose, and after experiencing “ignorance” as it should be by rights, it soon turned into an armed uprising under the instigation of people with a heart.
It can’t go on like this anymore!
At this time, no one cares at all, why does the uprising “hurried” by my group of people because of oppression and righteous indignation, there will be “companions” who continuously bring in muskets, artillery, and skilled people who look like Veteran-like gunners teach everyone how to operate these weapons.
Different from the new continent of dangerous lurks on every side, at least in the kingdom’s own cities, it is very difficult to even get a high-quality musket.
Even if these civilians are untrained, they are able to exert the basic attack power of these gunpowder weapons.
The level of the riot immediately skyrocketed.
However.
The towering inner city wall was a military fortification against foreign enemies before the fortune of the Kingdom of Ilya. It was particularly thick and sturdy. There were 20 24-pounder artillery on just one side of the city wall.
This is not to mention the kingdom’s most elite guards and well-trained private armies of traditional nobles, as well as a large number of transcenders.
It can be said that since the royal family began to mobilize the core transcender to shrink its own strength a few years ago to ensure the basic structure of the major cities, this is the most powerful place for the royal family.
Faced with the siege of these “mob” overestimate one’s capabilities, the guards on the city wall ruthless gave them a thumping blow.
Civilians who have never received military training even if they are supported by equipment, why should they compete with the most elite troops in the kingdom? even more how the Guards held a fortified city.
However, the reality is a bit magical, and this offensive and defensive battle is actually played in a similar fashion.
A group of experienced veterans outside the city gate demolished the buildings near the city gate and built a qualified fortification.
The crappy civilian gunners are slowly being replaced by veterans and some sturdy young men, and more and more new heavy guns that I don’t know where to find are dragged over and erected behind the fortifications , and fire against the artillery whose muzzle was lowered by the addition of dunnage at the head of the city.
In order to fight for freedom and not be oppressed, the citizens with high will to fight still shouted “personal freedom, equal rights” and continued to shoot at the city. cheer.
A fierce battle rages ahead.
At the end of the battle line, most of the business nobles in hunting suits gathered here with their super servants.
The bourgeoisie, who controlled all the means of production, easily gained the leadership of the “Rebel Army” by virtue of their extraordinary strength, economic strength, political ability and cultural knowledge.
Even many of the insurgents are workers in their factories, so it’s not realistic for them to charge into battle, but it’s not a problem at all to shout with rhythm.
This group of pampered business aristocrats is of course impossible to come to the front line. The “uprising army” is naturally led by their private soldiers, recruited veterans, and even the elite pirates under the pirate king. joined the fight.
I heard the slogan of “personal freedom, equal rights” in front of my ears, and everyone smiled as if they all agreed.
Yes, all of them agree from the bottom of their hearts that this slogan, voted by their own meeting, is indeed all created equal, but the bourgeoisie, which holds all the means of production, is even more equal !
“Your Excellency Pickman, the battle started at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and has lasted for two and a half hours. The sun is about to set, should we speed up the siege?
Citizen Resisting the tyranny of the royal family is just an example for the follow-up plans of other cities. If the war situation is allowed to develop like this, even if they are eventually defeated by the guards, it is not impossible.”
Lai with a short beard and an unassuming appearance The special count glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and bowed slightly to a tall and thin black robed man beside him.
“Looking at the fading degree of the original aura of that ‘Raging Waves and Ocean Tides’, according to normal circumstances, there should be still a week to half a month, but it is almost time to launch a general attack.”
The black robed man took off his hood, revealing a pale face and tragic white hair.
Others can’t feel it, but with ghoul’s extraordinary sense of Life Aura, he can clearly distinguish that the atmosphere that was once vast but fading like a sunset has stopped abruptly yesterday.
They waited patiently for another day, and there was no movement in the palace, and the “uprising” that had been brewing for a long time could no longer be suppressed.
Turning around, he looked towards the group of business nobles behind him, showing regretful expressions:
“Unfortunately, none of you are willing to transform yourself into a powerful ghoul.”
Viscount Jerome, who was standing on the other side of him, said softly with a smile:
“Hahaha, Your Excellency Pickman! It’s not a pity, everyone is ‘cold’ A devout follower of the Lie monarch.
You see, how can we be different in nature other than outwardly?”
black robe ghoul Pickman slightly startled, and immediately reacted:
“Oh? Yes, it’s exactly the same! The same cannibalism is just a different way of eating, hahahaha.”
This group of humans may It may be more suitable for the [greed] power held by the “King of ghoul” than ghoul.
Although his words were too straightforward, the surrounding business nobles could only laugh at him, just because he was a named monster from the hinterland of the continent – ghoul “the ridiculed tunnel forager” skin. Kerman.
The monsters in this world have a huge gap in strength between their peers because of their different racial endowments. Therefore, for monsters whose hazard reaches a certain level, humans will uniformly name them, which is a kind of recognition of their strength.
And this kind of strength needs to be at least equal to the guardian strength of the kingdom!
I have been beaten to death by iron rods on the way to the scriptures without the backstage. The same is true here. Although I live in the old continent, I have a Demi-God on my back. Pickman’s life Still alive and well.
And today the ghoul group will become the new masters of this land and human beings!
Black robe ghoul raised his head, the heavy and powerful aura of fourth rank had already covered most of the inner city, and it was fiercely pressed on the hearts of the guards, chest tightness, palpitations, and cold sweat. Battle strength was immediately beaten More than half lost.
This is not only an assist for one’s own side, but also another test after confirming that the guardian aura of the kingdom has disappeared.
Take this opportunity.
The rebel army, who had been suppressed and could not lift their heads, launched a counterattack unaffected.
And half an hour later, when the sky was already dark.
With a loud “boom”, the dust flew.
“Oh!”
“The city is broken!”
“Go! Don’t let the king and those nobles run away!”
There is no need for orders, a large number of “uprising troops” have already swarmed into the inner city from the gap.
Pickman, the monster named “Sneering Tunnel Forager”, said to himself:
“That old bastard looks like it’s really dead.”
He looked up at the dim sky above his head:
“However, it doesn’t really matter.”
As one of the leaders, Viscount Jerome held up a scarlet The canon is high-spirited and vigorous:
“Your Excellency Pickman has worked hard, gentlemen, let’s follow together.” of moss, a mighty ghoul streamed out.
Jerome, who is just a crappy wizard apprentice, relies on the “ghoul Ritual” bestowed by the ‘gloomy god’ Mordiggian to command the numerous ghoul Legions.
Especially this trump card, the total number of “mosskin corpse hunters” troops reached two hundred, each ghoul is equivalent to Second Rank extraordinary powerful existence, just like Jerome’s hands A battering ram is enough to smash all obstacles for him.
And a large number of military human transcenders, who had previously been hidden, followed Wright.
Obviously, there are also distinct factions within the new class, which is about to win the fruits of victory.
Step.. Step.. Step..
When a group of hundreds of people walked into the inner city, it had turned into a bloody hell.
How could there be civilization when there was an armed riot? The “uprising army” immediately turned into a thug, burning, killing, looting and self-taught.
“No! Help!”
“I don’t want your tenancy any more.”
“.”
Except for the business aristocracy In addition to the pre-arranged hunters, even if the real insurgents arrived here, they would have forgotten the original intention of “personal freedom and equality of rights”. While looting, all the land deeds in the noble mansion were burned by the way.
At this time, the cry was so loud that the night sky of Viana was almost dyed bloody.
The large army led by the title monster, count Wright, and Viscount Jerome rushed into the palace without any hesitation.
However, they followed the breath of life all the way to the main hall of the palace, which was lit up, without encountering a single guard.
Pickman was slightly frowned, feeling as if something had exceeded his expectations:
“The aura of Enrique II has always been in there, and he is the only one.”
Bang——
The palace gate was slammed open.
In the spacious main hall, the King Enrique II stood with a golden scepter in his hand, but sitting high on the throne was a thin man with white hair and a thin body. acquainted old man.
Everyone paused:
“You are.”
Without answering, two people in the great hall looked towards this group of uninvited guests at the same time.
Although he was old and skinny, the cold light in the old man’s eyes was like two sharp swords, stinging everyone here, and finally his eyes fell on ghoul Pickman:
p>
“Is it you who has been hiding behind the scenes as their backer? Now you’re finally willing to take the initiative to come out? It’s not a waste of the past few days of my lifespan.
You solve it, and the rest will just be cloned.
Since the situation has reached this step, no matter how stupid these descendants are, as long as they are willing to pay the price, they should be able to keep the throne.”
As he spoke, he had already crushed the shielding talisman on his neck.
