Chapter 2285 Riot
Hanad, who returned from the battlefield not long ago, immediately faced tremendous pressure from his generals. While these senior officers told the people below that the rumors were false, they kept asking him whether the rumors were true.
Officers are also human beings, and officers are also afraid of death. They may not be afraid of fighting with the enemy with real swords and guns on the battlefield when they join the army, but they don't want to die in an unclear death. Soldiers serve for honor and promotion, not to bid farewell to their lives in that way.
In the combat conference room, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense and serious. No one spoke first to discuss the situation of the war. Everyone had a solemn face, waiting for Hanad and Yahan who had not yet arrived to give everyone an impressive speech. A reassuring explanation.
Ahan came, and it took a long time to come. The first words he said when he came in and faced many senior generals were: "The rumors are true, but I will not lightly lift the forbidden law. That is the last resort." Means. Your Majesty sent me to lead the forbidden law team here to slow down the enemy's offensive."
"They are really starting to get scared." King of the North, Dutch, said: "Last night's offensive was completely different from before. It didn't have the fierceness of going all out."
"But the pressure in the city has also emerged. , The people were originally an important force in our defense against foreign enemies, but now they have become a hidden danger of uneasiness," said Lieder of the 15th Legion, leaning against the corner with his eyes lowered.
A staff officer said: "I have several pieces of news. The first good news is that we learned from several different enemy prisoners of war that they were asked to fire off signal flares in preparation for releasing a weapon called When using the power of 'Liquid Source Limiter', command your soldiers to quickly stop any magical behavior. This can ensure that. It is determined that their 'liquid source limiter' only works when using magic to drive magic power."
"Does this confirm our previous judgment?"
"The Knights of the Holy Moon contacted us through Tongyi just now, and their assassination operation failed." The staff officer said.
"Can we confirm based on this that the old man named Rodan is the person who controls the 'ultimate weapon'?"
The staff officer nodded: "It is roughly certain that this is consistent with the information obtained from the interrogation of the prisoners. In addition, Saint The Moon Knights said that mission A failed, and mission B is still in progress."
"Is there another mission B?" Yahan showed doubts, and other generals turned their attention to Hanad.
Hanard shook his head: "I don't know either."
The staff officer said: "The people in Holy Moon told me about the content of mission B, with the main purpose of rescuing Helen, as well as other important The hostages were captured. Mission A was the smoke of mission B. There was also a third piece of news, also from Shengyue. When their people were performing the assassination mission, the mission target Rodan used the abilities of different professions, including the wood element. Elementalization and physical imitation of elemental regeneration ”
"The dual body of the sealed knight and the demon?" The keen person immediately contacted the famous general in the army, the Luminous Saint Thief: "Charles seems to be able to use the dual abilities of body wood elementalization and knight regeneration. Among them, the wood elementalization has reached Demon level. ”
Dual professions can reach the sixth or seventh level. This is very rare in the world, and it is hard not to think of it. Leder said cautiously: "Don't make wild guesses. Charles has more than two abilities, and he can also combine domineering and domain. He once said that his abilities came from a mysterious adventure and the help of equipment, although he never said in detail what he had done. The strange encounter makes people feel suspicious. If there are only two abilities of knight and magician, and if the knight only has the sixth level of regeneration, then the dual ability is not that unusual. It cannot be concluded that no one can combine these two abilities. There are characters in history who have both the characteristics of a knight and a magician, although I don’t know how.”
Someone nodded. He agreed, but Hanard knew a little more inside information. He knew that in the last battle between the Holy Demon and the Holy Demon, there was a hidden stake of a third party hidden in the army, and Charles was participating in the war between the two countries on the southern border at that time. . Therefore, he immediately said: "I will report this matter to His Majesty immediately, and ask Your Majesty to immediately notify the Privy Council to send a bailiff to investigate the dismissal of the Luminous Saint Thief Charles. Mr. Yahan, you are most familiar with the Privy Council, and you must inform the Privy Council." The most capable person is sent for this mission, and if necessary, he should ask your Majesty for instructions to mobilize an army."
Ahan nodded while stroking his white beard.
Other officers asked nervously: "Is it so serious?"
Hanard said: "You who were transferred from the central garrison don't know. Officers who have been stationed on the western border for many years know that Charles can quickly move in the army. He was promoted not only for his personal strength, but also for his considerable military exploits in many battles with the Gripen Empire on the Western Front. He also received a promotion in the previous Holy Demon War. Although he was still a lieutenant general, he commanded a large number of troops. Improved to 4 Wan, if he is a hidden stake, these 40,000 people will cause great trouble!"
At this time, a city councilor ran to the war room in panic and shouted: "No, generals! There is a riot in the city!”
A large number of people who were frightened by the rumors gathered on the streets. Irritated people and lawless elements soon started a riot. This usually peaceful Snow City in the Western Capital finally broke out under the influence of multiple giants. The shadows erupted.
Fires spread everywhere, magic smashed the walls, some people stood on tall buildings, some smashed theaters, and the city defense soldiers violently suppressed it under the command of the officers, but what they got was an even greater backlash. People who abandoned laws and urban institutions summoned their own guardians or pets, turning city streets and parks into zoos. They will leave the city and fly out of the sky.
When the army arrived, the gathering in the Musical Fountain Square was already out of control. The large number of refugees who poured into the city because of the strong walls and cleared the wilderness now became an important factor in the riots. They had no home here, let alone stay in this dangerous city.
One or two riots in the city quickly turned into multiple riots, with thoughtful people interspersed among them, secretly guiding these mobs on how to act. A large group of people rushed to the city hall, and many people gathered outside the arsenal and weapons depot. Most of the city of Anmosidu had completely changed in a few hours.
"Oops, too bad, Mayor Blaize, how could it be like this? How can you appease people's hearts!? If the West Capital is lost because of this, you should be sentenced to hanging!" the officer scolded Blaize. Mayor Z. Thom, but blaming him won’t solve the problem.
Some generals were worried and panicked: "This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the Gripen Kingdom. They have created rumors, and there must be their people among the mob!" The generals standing on the hill in the inner city could see it with the naked eye. I saw the situation on many streets. In some streets, people were running around randomly, while in others they were led and acted purposefully. Some wealthy people with high-level flying guards flew high into the sky with their property and escaped from a height that the city defense army could not intercept. Some people touched the magic trap hidden in the sky. Before they could escape, they were turned into a ball of flame by the thunder and fire and fell from the sky.
