Chapter 540 Rebellion 8
The village of Babol, which has always been peaceful, is destined to experience an unstable early morning.
At around three o'clock, except for some people with ulterior motives, all the villagers were asleep.
Suddenly, the dogs in the village began to bark wildly. From the first dog barking, in just a few minutes, all the dogs in the village began to bark.
The dogs made so much noise that most people were awakened. For those who didn’t know the truth, some people were so angry that they scolded these barking beasts, while others were worried. Are there any bandits who have entered the village? For those who know a certain secret, their hearts feel as if they have been severely clamped by iron pliers.
The sound of horse hooves! The sound of a large number of horse hooves echoed on the main road in the middle of the village. The sound was so dense that only a large number of horses could create such a momentum, so that in the houses facing the street, those who were awakened from their sleep could clearly feel the vibrations of the ground.
Even the most courageous people dare not go out rashly at this time. They can only muster up the courage to quietly peek through the gaps in the windows to see what is going on outside.
There was a loud bang! The Fergus family mansion at the east end of the village was knocked open.
A large number of Alda soldiers armed with firearms rushed into the mansion. The front ends of the firearms were equipped with bayonets, and they shone brightly under the lights in the yard.
"You! Who are you? This is Lord Fergus's mansion, who let you break in?"
Several servants bravely shouted to ask about the visitor. Most of the people in the mansion had been taken to the blitz by Fergus to "hunt", so there were relatively few people.
“I was afraid that I wouldn’t find anyone when I came in.”
The leading officer chuckled and gave an order that made the servants feel that something was wrong, “Get them all. "Tie me up."
"Ah? Sir, please spare us!"
Several servants collapsed on the ground in fear. Of course, their threats didn't work. Knowing that he was in trouble, he decisively turned to cowardice.
"Tie it up, tie it up!"
The officer waved his hand, unmoved at all.
"Don't do anything to your own people, your own people."
A thin man with a mustache and a smile on his face ran out from inside.
He came to the officer, nodded and bowed, looking extremely humble.
"My lord, you must have misunderstood. This is the residence of Lord Fergus. He is a knight loyal to Lord Grayman. Judging from the way you are dressed, you must be loyal to Lord Grayman's army. , since they are the same lord, then everyone is one of the same people."
The officer looked at the person up and down and asked: "Who are you?"
Mustache Weiwei. Smiling, "I am the housekeeper here."
The officer's eyes suddenly widened, "Butler? Isn't that the owner's closest friend? You must know where Fergus is, hurry up and tell me Get out of his position."
He immediately slapped himself on the forehead.
"No, you come with me now to find the battalion commander's instructor and show us the way."
Two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed the butler's arms from left to right, and then tried to drag him out.
"Huh? No, no, no."
The housekeeper struggled vigorously, and while struggling, he shouted, "There must be some misunderstanding. You can't arrest a good person by mistake." "
Although he claimed to have a misunderstanding, the butler was actually like a mirror in his heart. As Fergus's closest confidant, he certainly knew what his master was doing. When he heard the master's plan for the first time, the butler's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
That is a major event that can destroy a family and exterminate a clan!
What the housekeeper couldn't figure out was how the news spread and the army knew so quickly. He had already controlled the nearby signal station according to his master's instructions. Besides, Paul Graiman had no chance to send messages through the signal station. He was still surrounded in the mountains.
"Misunderstanding?" The officer snorted coldly, "You will know soon if there is a misunderstanding."
He waved his hand, "Search! Search this house Everyone in the mansion was picked out and taken away.”
In about half an hour, a bunch of people were already tied up on the threshing floor of the village.
Seeing this scene, Fergus’s butler made up his mind that no matter what, he could not tell the army in front of him about his master’s “hunting location”. Only the master’s side and Huxin Town’s side could succeed. Only then can the crisis on your side be relieved.
However, half an hour later, the housekeeper told the interrogating soldier the "hunting location" - he overestimated his own will and endurance.
“That place is called Rabbit Valley. There are mountains to the north and south, and there are only two entrances to the east and west.”
The housekeeper hissed when he spoke, partly because his face hurt, and partly because of the pain in his face. It's because I lost a lot of teeth.
"Sir Fergus... no, it's the traitor Fergus... Ouch... and his accomplices gathered more than 600 people from several nearby villages and blocked the lord inside. They planned to take advantage of the lord's control tonight. The guards will assassinate when they relax their vigilance. If it still doesn't work... Oops..."
He covered half of his swollen face and cried out in pain.
The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Carter Hawley, grabbed his clothes and said, "What if it still doesn't work? Say it quickly."
"They just... they just..."
The housekeeper was frightened by the ferocious expression of the lieutenant colonel.
"They set fire to the trees in Tuyi Valley and used fire to achieve their goal."
Lieutenant Colonel Holly was shocked, how vicious!
"Quick, bring a few people who are familiar with the terrain, and we will rush to Tuyi Valley immediately!"
The lieutenant colonel immediately made a decision, and his subordinates also immediately took action. .
The officers and soldiers of the 8th Infantry Battalion rode wildly on their horses again. However, they had just reached the village less than two miles away when they saw a bright light appearing far away in the night.
...
"They really set the forest on fire! These villains, I must make them look good."
Paul swore angrily, and he shouted outside: "Everyone Hurry up and retreat to the camp!”
The fire began to flash in the distance, getting bigger and stronger, and it was still windy. The wind helped the fire, and soon the surrounding forests were burning. The flames soared into the sky.
In order to give Paul and others nowhere to hide, the traitors lit fires in several directions.
The tents, which were flammable materials, had been dismantled. Not long ago, the uninjured soldiers also walked out of the camp and desperately began to pull grass, hoping to prevent the fire from burning into the camp. But they didn’t have the tools at hand, so their weeding efficiency wasn’t very high. What's more, when the entire forest is burning, what can a small fire stop do?
According to Paul's order, the soldiers outside the camp withdrew.
Standing in the center of the camp was Ladi Setia. While everyone was busy working, only this green-haired witch stood there motionless, her eyes closed tightly and she didn't know what she was doing or what. Say what you want.
Now as the fire was getting closer, she suddenly opened her eyes.
