The night in Belgost was very quiet, and because it was still at war, there was a curfew as soon as it got dark. However, those who are interested can find that this evening seems a bit unusual, because there are very many guards patrolling the streets, and they are also equipped with heavy-footed crossbows.
In order not to arouse the enemy’s alertness, Corey disguised the next thousand soldiers as a patrol team and silently entered the city. Now the siege of the target house has been basically completed, only waiting for the commander to rush in and kill. According to the latest laws enacted by the principality, anyone who attempts to overthrow the Angome family’s rule is regarded as rebellious, all direct males are killed, and females are demoted to slaves.
Although this law is relatively harsh, no one dared to raise objections. Everyone knows that Duke Henry is a decisive figure. Think about the murderous Sahua murlocs in the sea. They were all annihilated in the city of Baldur’s Gate. It was more than 10,000, and none of them were able to go back alive.
Since going through that battle, the soldiers’ attitude towards Henry has changed from being compelled to awe from the heart. Especially those spells with terrifying lethality, for ordinary people, they are no different from gods. They are now implementing all the orders communicated from above without hesitation, even if it is to slaughter ordinary people.
If Henry saw the transformation of his army, he would be very satisfied. Because this is the ideal army in his mind. There is no right or wrong between good and evil, only obedience, obedience and obedience. Originally, the army should be a violent institution serving the ruling class. No matter how kind on the surface, its essence is to maintain the stability of the current regime. Once someone crosses this line, they immediately tear off the disguise of kindness.
Seeing his subordinates silently entered a state of battle. Corey nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, war is the best way to train soldiers. Although the death and injury rate is high, they can become elites if they survive. He turned his head and asked his deputy: “How is it? Haven’t the thieves’ union yet signaled an offensive?”
“Sorry, Commander. There hasn’t been any movement so far. A person sent a message ten minutes ago. They said that they still need some time to lock onto the enemy’s high-level.”
Кори беспомощно кивнул. «Что ж, тогда подождем. В конце концов, их лидер платит большую цену. А зверя-дракона нельзя купить за деньги, у него должны быть какие-то особые каналы ».
«У воровского союза на нашей территории столько энергии?» - спросил депутат с невероятным выражением лица. По его мнению, воровской союз не может сравниться с регулярной армией, даже с известной организацией теневых воров.
"Конечно. Они очень сильные. Если они соберутся за одну ночь, они могут перебить все гарнизоны в нашем лагере ».
As one of the duke’s henchmen, Corey obviously knows a lot of inside information. Robert’s annual profit turned in is five times his military expenditure. If you want to maintain such a huge underground kingdom, the strength must be very strong, otherwise it would have been annexed by other unions long ago. Moreover, the other party also serves as an intelligence agency, and almost all the disturbances on the west coast can be informed at the first time.
“It’s impossible! Our people are all veterans, most of them have the rank of warrior, even if they bring down the mainland, they are considered elite. How could they be killed by a group of thieves.”
Seeing his deputy’s continuous unbelief expression, Corey smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “You are still young and you don’t know many secrets. I can’t explain this kind of thing right now. Just remember not to provoke them.”
Suddenly when the voice fell, a person walked out of the shadow of the street. Not only did he escape the encirclement of the soldiers, but no one noticed it until he took the initiative to walk out. This superb stealth skills made everyone sweat, if the other party wanted to assassinate. I’m afraid no one can stop it.
As soon as the assassin dressed up came out, he said: “I have sent in the most elite assassin under my hand, and you have begun to launch a frontal attack. As soon as there is chaos in the scene, they will immediately catch the incident secretly. Planner.”
Corey waved his hand to signal everyone to put down their weapons, and screamed at each other: “Damn bastard! Can’t you just sit from the front? You know, my men are holding heavy crossbows. If there is any misunderstanding, You will become a hedgehog in the next second.”
“Sorry, I’m used to it. You must know that we are used to walking in the dark. This is a kind of subconscious self-protection. In addition, these ordinary weapons without enchantment can’t hurt me, even if it is a heavy crossbow.”
Said that the assassin took off the hood on his head, not someone else. It is Robert. As an agile and responsive master of thieves, he can avoid most long-range attacks even without magic equipment. What’s more, he is still wearing a double-layered dragon scale armor, even weapons with a slightly lower enchantment level can’t be pierced. It can be said that Henry has laid down his capital in order to protect the lives of his men. If the whole set of equipment is sold at the market price, it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Corey sighed slightly. Instructed his deputies: “Let’s do it. According to the original plan, a three-layer encirclement net will be set up, and no insurgents are allowed to be let go.
“Don’t worry, Commander. The opponent is just a mob recruited by some merchants. Perhaps their team is very powerful, but on this battlefield with more than hundreds of people, there is a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. I assure you, all you need is It can be completely wiped out in ten minutes.”
Когда в небо поднялась ракета, спокойствие ночи было нарушено. Две группы хорошо вооруженных солдат быстро приблизились к целевому зданию, затем распахнули дверь и ворвались внутрь. Прежде чем парень, который отвечал за наблюдение за ветром, успел крикнуть, его вонзили в грудь арбалетной стрелой. Один из солдат, ухмыльнувшись, подошел и отрубил ему голову мечом.
The entire building was cleared within two minutes, all the men were killed, and the women were knocked out by a brutal soldier. Robert personally opened the secret passage in the basement, and also smoothly killed several mercenaries guarding here. The stealthy assassination performance of the master thieves opened everyone’s eyes, and the enemy was cut open by his dagger without even noticing it.
When a large group of soldiers appeared in the basement, the merchants gathering secretly here were dumbfounded. Suddenly the crowd yelled, “The overthrow of the tyranny is tonight! Go! Fight with them!”
"Да! Если тебя поймают, спастись сложно! Лучше попробовать! »
"Плата! Только убив, ты сможешь выжить! »
Слова этого парня вызвали масштабный бунт, и застрявшие в нем наемники и торговцы вытащили оружие и пошли в атаку. Офицер, ответственный за командование, проявил пренебрежительное выражение и махнул правой рукой, отдавая приказ атаковать. Солдаты, державшие тяжелые арбалеты, один за другим нажимали на спусковой крючок, и звук «свиста» был бесконечным.
At a distance of less than ten meters, the huge power of the crossbow arrows can even easily penetrate the breastplate made of stainless steel, not to mention the mercenaries in front of them who only wear leather and chain armor. At least forty people were shot and killed on the spot, and there were more than 20 painful “ ” lying on the ground. The **** reality awakened these daydreaming guys, and they finally realized what mistake they had made.
Но у офицеров нет привычки быть милосердными к солдатам врага. После залпа огня он немедленно мобилизовал солдат с копьями, чтобы они выступили вперед, и возвел густой лес из орудий. Многие незадачливые парни не могли увернуться, и были пронзены прямо в самое сердце. Возможно, на открытой местности эти наемники смогут атаковать со стороны благодаря своим выдающимся навыкам. Но жаль, что этот подвал слишком узкий и лишнего места нет совсем.
The soldiers slowly pushed the opponent to the root of the wall with neat steps, and then, with the cooperation of heavy crossbows, launched a one-sided massacre. No matter how skilled a fighter is, he can’t match a spear that is pierced from all directions at the same time. Of course, those legendary warriors with steel-like muscles and skins are not counted. However, even with the strength of the Iron Throne, they can’t be moved.
The insurgents were quickly slaughtered. For those guys who knelt down and begged for mercy, the soldiers stabbed to death with a spear mercilessly. They had received the order long before they set off, and all but the thieves’ union asked to stay alive, the rest were killed.
At the end of the battle, the entire basement was bloody. A large number of corpses were carried out one by one, and transported by horse-drawn carts to the outside of the city for burial. An official of the city hall is identifying the deceased one by one. He wants to sort out the names and home addresses of the merchants involved in the rebellion. What awaits them will be annihilation.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan, Corey was relieved to hand everything over to his deputy, and he followed him to the basement of the Thieves Guild. As the highest person in charge of the army, he must know who the enemy is behind this incident. If possible, plan a retaliatory action.
Вор, ответственный за пытки, подбежал к Роберту и тихо спросил: «Шеф, у меня все готово. Сейчас начнется допрос? »
“Let’s start. If their mouths are stricter, I authorize you to use all instruments of torture below the second level.”
After receiving the order, the thief poured two buckets of cold water directly from the captives’ heads, awakening them all at once. Piero, who was fixed on the shelf, could not wait for someone to ask questions, and shouted: “Don’t kill me! I surrender! I have many secret strongholds of the Iron Throne in my hands!”
Byrne glanced at his accomplice with contempt and cursed shamelessly. This guy even advised him not to rush to betray him a few hours ago, but now he can do anything before he waits for the other party to be tortured. No wonder the iron throne’s sphere of influence is shrinking more and more severely, because there are too many villains of this kind who are greedy for life and fear of death.
When Robert saw such an interesting scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that was not a smile. The thieves all around shuddered subconsciously when they saw it. They all knew that once the leader showed this expression, someone would definitely be out of luck. (To be continued.
