: 1967 The Dawn of the Empire (8)

　　
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the smoke outside the city covered the broad-leaved forest like thick fog in the drizzle, hovering around the branches, the soldiers of the Second Army of the Southern Empire had completely blocked the Lisbonto, the gate position, The dense bayonet spears rise like a forest on the ground, and all the garrison sentinels and rangers are hanging at the gate of the city.
　　
All exits have a 1,000-person force, which is sufficient to deal with any attempt to pass the barrier. All personnel entry and exit are prohibited. The army began to fully enter the city’s streets, set up barriers, and controlled the city according to the block. Martial law orders,
　　
　　At this time, any non-military personnel appearing on the street, the army has the right to kill directly,
　　
No one knows why the army suddenly entered Lisbon, but the suppression of the smugglers by the imperial team itself explained a lot. The citizens of Lisbon could see a black plume of smoke rising straight to the sky in the southwest of the city. Residential areas where smugglers are most concentrated,
　　
A citizen of Lisbon stood in front of the window, looking at the black smoke in the distance. His face was not amazement and anger, but joy. The Lisbontor had been damaged and then rised due to a large number of smuggling. It is called the city of gold and the city of blood and tears. In this city, smuggling, fighting, and slave trading are all fair and honest things. Most people who can organize smuggling are inextricably linked to all parties. The whole connection is like a giant colosseum dominated by various forces,
　　
In this case, let’s not say that ordinary civilians are incapable of confrontation, even business alliances cannot contain it. Smuggling groups are like a huge dark kingdom entrenched here, arrogant, although they have not reached the point of blatantly grabbing money, but each It is normal to collect protection fees in neighborhoods. It is commonplace to people's lives from wharfs and construction sites, and ordinary small businessmen are afraid to provoke smugglers. The result of the rebellion is often that the shop was smashed, or the next day, it turned into a wounded body lying in the sewage ditch. The smuggling with underground force has been grouped, and the means of handling things are more cruel, even ignoring the empire. The existence of laws,
　　
　　 In Lisbon, they are like monarchs of the underground kingdom
　　
　　 In a huge villa in the southwest of the city, the headquarters of the largest smuggling group, the Dark Snake, is a strong bald middle-aged man with a complex face walking around. There are more than a dozen people in the hall, all of whom are his chieftains. The middle-aged man is Reward, the head of the dark snake who planned the closure of the city,
　　
　　After receiving news that the army had entered the city, one of the biggest heads of the underground world of Lisbon, immediately ordered all the subordinates who were in trouble outside to withdraw,
　　
　　 The hall seemed to be panic-stricken. These leaders were frightened. The imperial team and the business alliance were basically two different things. One was a business organization. One is a brutal force organization that kills and is professionally naked. Everyone just wants to force the shrinking turtle of the business alliance, but he didn't expect to hang a giant whale up.
　　
　　 "Sir, what should we do now. If the army comes over, everyone will die." A leader looked at Reward with an anxious look.
　　
"No matter what, the army has been in Lisboa for three hours. Apart from blocking the streets in accordance with the usual practice, there is nothing else to do. This should be just a common method against riots in the city. It may not be specifically to deal with us!" Reward dropped the cigarette in his hand and slammed it on the ground. His voice was dissatisfied and said, "It's just a general martial law "Baidu Qihang No Text"! This situation is not unprecedented, and every time the front line wars, it will be martial law, and it should be lifted in two or three days."
　　
　　"But the front line is not fighting now!"
　　
A leader in the hall said hesitantly, "Why did the army enter Lisbon? The army came towards us. As for why it did not start, it is not clear, but this stalemate will not last long. Once the army moves, all Everyone will die! This kind of thing Falcon Army did not do less!
　　
　　 "Don't mess with yourself until you get the picture!"
　　
Reward paused, glaring at him angrily, and said with a solemn voice, "From the patrol's armor markings on the street, it was the Second Army of the local Southern Army that entered the city, which was the Sol Tul The Dunton’s legion is not the first-line main legion in the imperial team, so the other party has not been so bold. All the goods are blocked. Some of the goods are very important. If the deadline is delayed, we will Therefore, a large amount of compensation is paid, but it is a batch of goods worth 500,000 gold coins! And it is still a very sensitive thing! I have sent someone to spread the letter, as long as the Southern Second Army does not do it within three days, it will soon Someone came out to help us!"
　　
　　 "What do the chiefs say about those?" When the leader heard Reward's words, the leaders cheered, and one of them asked cautiously.
　　
"Although it's troublesome, it should be solved!" Reward nodded slightly, gloomy eyes looked out of the window, drizzle on the window sill, which made him sit up, until the sky became dark, There was no sign of a large number of troops outside, so he let out a breath of relief. "Come here, turn on the lights in all rooms!" Pahaila pulled the collar and said to the butler, tonight he gave it to him It feels very cold, and no one from the other leaders speaks anymore. There is a cold air in the hall,
　　
"Crunch!" At this moment, the door of the hall opened from the outside, and a young man wearing a black cloak walked in from the outside. The young man's face was white, his arms were long, his figure was thin, and he took off his face. The hood was placed on the table, and in the eyes of everyone in the hall, he took a glass of wine on the table and poured it violently.
　　
　　"Lu Lin, what's going on? Why has it been so long, has the letter spread?" Reward looked at the young man who came in, and asked anxiously, this young man was the one he sent to spread the word.
　　
　　 "No, just encountered some accidents, so it took some time!" The young man replied carelessly
　　
　　 "What's the accident?" Reward narrowed her heart and asked anxiously
　　
"I used a military crossbow I had secretly to shoot the letter into the window of the log cabin at the foot of the city wall. I didn't return until I saw Lao Mu taking the letter away. On the way back, I accidentally saw a good place. Drama! "The young man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, deliberately bought a pass, and said proudly under the eyes that everyone craved. "Remember the group of at the street? It's the one that specifically robbed our slaves of trading!"
　　
　　 "The blasphemer? What happened to them?" Reward raised her eyebrows. The blasphemer is another big smuggling group in the city. Although the strength is not as good as the Dark Snake, it belongs to the hob meat that dares to kill and fight, so although the number is only more than one hundred, it is also mixed with the wind and water, especially in the smuggling of slaves and the Dark Snake. There have been several frictions,
　　
　　 "They are finished!" Lu Lin grinned and said, "When I came back, I just saw the army surrounding their headquarters."
　　
　　"What! The headquarters of the blasphemy was attacked?" Reward's face changed, the blasphemer was not much different from the dark snake, the most important thing was that the army was attacking the blasphemer! The army may attack the headquarters of the dark snake
　　
"In fact, they deserved it!" Lu Lin pouted, scornfully said, "The prodigal group of muscle-headed idiots. I really think you are so fierce, a team of military patrol cavalry to check them, they also I thought the army came to destroy them, and even gathered to attack the military's patrol cavalry. As a result, thousands of regular troops were attracted. When I left, the gate of their headquarters had fallen, and I am afraid they have already won it!" Lu Lin Said with relish, suddenly heard an inhalation sound around. Others' faces are pale,
　　
Lu Lin shuddered and looked at everyone in disbelief. "You... You wouldn't have such a plan too! That's not to die at all. When I came back, I noticed roughly. At least tens of thousands The imperial regular army has sealed the whole city, and as long as there is a situation there, it can immediately attract thousands of imperial regular soldiers, who is now moving and dying!"
　　
"So. The army is not specifically for us, as long as it is not for us!" Reward's eyes flickered, and the tone slowly asked. "The military's blockade of Lisbonto now seems to have other reasons. Everyone Let’s go! Don’t do anything in these days!
　　
　　 "Yes" The leaders left the manor one by one, the army controlled the main road, but as gang members, they had enough secret roads,
　　
The rain washed the nearby streets, the sharp spearpoint reflected the dreadful light in the rain, the soldiers' grim faces exuded the murderous energy, and a team of cavalry passed by, only to hear the puffy and low The sound of horseshoes and the crisp clang of armor, a rapid horseshoe rang ahead, and a cavalry appeared in the corner of the street. He ran directly to a house next to the city gate and jumped off the horse. After saluting to a general who was at the door, he said "Sir, the targets on the list have been captured except for four suicides!"
　　
"Got it!" The general lifted the helmet's face mask, revealing Salton's well-defined national face, bóbó's lips tightened, and his eyes narrowed. The entire Lisbonto was a huge cage, now Waiting for the panicked prey to call, he believes that there will be a lot of superstition from the city to the outside tonight,
　　
　　Self-closing the whole city is just a pose, the real purpose is to force these smugglers behind the backing to show up!
　　
Lisbon’s trade stopped before. For the smuggling groups that hold the market, the trade suspension happened to be the result of secret operations. However, a large number of smuggled goods in their warehouses were also seized by the army and could not be smuggled out. That is another One thing happened, the entire smuggling network was completely paralyzed, and finally broke the nerves of many people,
　　
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a deputy chief of the logistics department began to allege that the Second Army of the Empire South was arrogant and fussed and misbehaved. "Only a small commotion caused a million-level commercial center to stop functioning, and the Empire suffered a lot. Loss, this is an irresponsible act!"
　　
　　 The accusation of the undersecretary of the logistics department was like a drop of water into the oil. The accusations that Varisian, the head of the Second Army of the South and the head of the Putuo region, slaughtered the merchants quickly increased within the empire.
　　
　　 "Your Majesty, this is all reports that demanded severe punishment of Varisian for killing and killing businessmen in these ten days"
　　
Hu Keqili placed a stack of documents on the young man's desk, and the fat man rolled it over, the cold in his eyes was a little infiltrating, and most of them were ministers from the Sri Lankan faction, and even Deputy Chief Pray Si is also among them, the fat man looked at it a little bit more in disbelief, and angrily threw the report by Prais on the table.
　　
"This guy is simply thinking that he is a good bargaining chip, or he is deliberately looking for death!" The young man scolded angrily, and he believed that the sharpness of Eprais would not see this as a problem. The decoy, but the empire lieutenant who was entrusted to him by himself, was still at this critical moment on the side of the Ruidians. In the report of Prais, he said about the murder of Varisian." There are enough dead people, even if it is to pruning the vines. Please also Your Majesty can pity the vulnerability of the vines!"
　　
　　The young man glanced at the half-foot letter on the table, took a deep breath, and asked, "How many families are there?"
　　
　　 "There are 170 families, about 3,000 people!" Hu Keqili's face is a little weird, and he reads this number that shocked him.
　　
　　Although he didn’t want to admit it, Hu Keqili believed that Prais did not make a mistake in his position this time. His Majesty was obviously preparing for a big killing this time, and the target was mainly the Ruidian school, and the pit was dug. The knife is also sharpened, just wait for the order, and countless people fall to the ground. If Prais continues to remain silent in this matter, Hu Keqili will look down on this person who once resisted the iron hooves of the East Court. The deputy chief, after all, is also a compatriot of a country, and the Ruier faction has suffered irreparable damage. Who will protect the interests of millions of Ruierdians? I am afraid that the most powerful factions will be the Wikya faction and the Dongting faction. Will not hesitate to quickly engulf the share that the Ruierdians have already occupied. This is a national struggle in which swords and swords cannot be seen, and it is no wonder that Prais should also show a gesture of martyrdom.
　　
　　 "Three thousand people..." The young man said to himself, Hu Keqili stood in front of the young man and dared not speak out
　　
　　 "Princess Haroldian. Is there any letter!" The young man with a dull complexion wanted to drip water, tapping his finger on the table,
　　
　　 "There is no letter from the princess!" Hu Keqili replied, sweat beads already on his forehead. With a heavy breathless feeling, he knew that Praise's performance certainly made his prince angry, but everyone knew that Praise had nothing to do with this. It's totally desperate to be a knife,
　　
Your own prince cares more about the attitude of the originator of the Royal Court of Rui Erdian. This grace can be sold to Prais, but it must not be sold to the royal family of Rui Erdian. If Princess Haroldian’s letter is also included, don’t say 3,000 people. , That is, 30,000 people, their prince will not hesitate to sign his name on the execution order, as for Prais, at least will also be deprived of the post of deputy chief, this is not a dispute between the husband and wife It is a fundamental struggle for state power. According to the qualities of the monarch, it will inevitably tell the entire empire with the blood of tens of thousands of people. Now it is the Falcon Empire that governs everything, not the Ruidian dynasty, and the person who decides life and death is the Empire Emperor. .
　　
"If this is the case, just send the order! All the people who reported will be demoted to the third level." The young man's complexion finally got better, he took out a document from the drawer, signed his name and handed it to Hu Keqi Li "Tell Salton, close the net! The old son is in a bad mood, and all the people he has captured are put to death!"
　　
"Yes!" Hu Keqili received the document respectfully, and his heart was a little touched. His majesty's heart still couldn't be as cold and hard as steel. I don't know if this is the empire's misfortune or the empire's luck. Luck! When the commanded Salton began to close the net, the Southern Second Army, which had completely controlled the situation, began to enter several targets in the city. Because there was no movement for ten consecutive days, several major smuggling groups in the city had long relaxed their vigilance. It seems that no one thought of running away, or that there was no time to run away!
　　
The soldiers of the Second Army of the South flocked to the manor fortress of the smuggling group, which made the commander interesting. The smuggling group also gathered hundreds of people in the face of the imperial regular army armed to the teeth. There was a lot of lights on the spot, countless large lanterns, just like the date of the couple, they were lit at a completely consistent rhythm, and they were arrogant and extreme.
　　
"Advance!" Naturally, the commander of the battlefield won't be confused by these small means. The smuggling group puts the lights to prevent the army's city-breaking equipment from getting close to the black. Who knows that the army that is used to the solid city wall will be like this In the eyes of the small earthen walled house, the advancement of the Nord soldiers of the Second Army of the South ~EbookFREE.me~ is a standard Nord style, rampage, seeing obstacles as nothing. The outer wall was brandished by a group of tall and heavy infantry. In the continuous sound of "Stab and Spur", a large piece was smashed out. This magnificent scene looked at the manor wall standing The smugglers are a bit silly,
　　
　　 "What do you want to do, this is a private industry!"
　　
A fierce man with a fierce face stood roaring loudly under the night breeze and screamed everywhere. In response, the regular army crossbowmen's harsh winding sound, thousands of crossbows were raised in a straight line, and countless eyes looked at them. Holding him, the strong man was twitching all over his body, feeling like a dead leaf that would wither at any time in the autumn wind, deterring! This is a typical deterrent! The Second Army of the South received the order not to keep the captives, so the officers leading the team felt that it was meaningless to spend time with these smugglers. Go forward, charge, kill, and then evacuate. This is the standard Nordic thinking
　　
　　Although it is only facing a wall of soil, the Nord warrior cluster advancement is very distinctive. At the beginning of the charge, the heavy infantry were walking forward, and then began to accelerate slowly. With the command of the captain, the neat pace and majestic momentum can make the opponent with poor psychological quality defeat without contact.
　　
For example, now, hundreds of smugglers on the wall have begun to soften their feet, and the carved iron fence that constitutes the gate is suddenly shot by a heavy arrow. "Go ahead, leave no captives!" Commanding the sword, Arrow Rain is like a black waterfall falling from the sky, flooding this poor manor. "To be continued.
