Chapter One Hundred Seven
In the evening, Roddy sternly refused Governor Sear's banquet and ate something at random in the Governor's Mansion. Originally, before his arrival, Governor Schill had already prepared a large house for him to settle. But seeing that the situation is urgent now, Roddy has any interest in living in a big house. Under his insistent request, he lived in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.
The governor's palace is divided into the front yard and the back yard. The front yard is where local officials handle government affairs, and the back yard is the residence of the governor. However, the Governor of Schill seemed to think that the backyard of the Governor's Mansion was too shabby, and he rarely lived here. I heard that he had another mansion in Ziye City. Roddy now lives in the governor's mansion, which is also clean.
In the middle of the night, Roddy suddenly heard a noise outside, and the messy footsteps awakened him. Roddy ran out immediately, and Rand had already rushed over and said loudly: "Master Duke! Listen to the people outside! All the mountain barracks outside the city have been mutiny! They have detained their captain, and now Master Camus's The army has surrounded the barracks and the two sides are facing each other! Outside is the defender of Ziye City, it seems they are gathering!
Roddy frowned, immediately dressed up, and ran out of the city with his ten guards on horseback.
Along the way, I saw the Purple Leaf City defenders of the brigade squad running chaotically. Roddy frowned secretly in his heart, but Rand was a straight-natured man. Looking at these horrible local garrisons, he couldn't help but whispered: "How do the officers here lead soldiers! How can such an army fight! If If there is an enemy surprise attack, I am afraid it will collapse in less than one charge!"
Roddy shook his head and sighed, wishing that it wasn't for Camus to bring people here today, I am afraid that tonight's things will be a disaster!
When I ran to the gate of the city, I saw that the gate was closed, and the guards in many places were guarding on the wall with horror. Both soldiers and officers looked terrified. Roddy frowned, and sent his guards over to ask.
It turns out that the news that Rand inquired just now was wrong. The mountain barracks outside the city were mutinous, but they were not surrounded by the barracks. Instead, they gathered outside the city gate at the moment and confronted Camus’s Southern Army under the city. These mountain troops kidnapped the officers appointed by the empire and gathered under the city in full gear, clamoring to see the governor.
Roddy led Rand on the wall, and all the way, the defenders learned that Lord Duke was coming, and hurriedly gave way. A few more cleverly ran to look for the chief to report back.
Roddy stood on the wall and looked down.
I saw about tens of thousands of infantrymen, wearing the local garrison uniforms of the empire, integrated into an infantry phalanx, armed with weapons, and murderous gathering under the city. Behind them, a large number of imperial cavalry, dressed in the uniforms of the Southern Army Corps, formed an encircled formation behind them.
The swords were unsheathed on both sides, and the arrows were sharpened on the bows, in a situation where they would fight if they disagree. The torch is like a forest, shining the night like day!
Although the mountain infantry was wearing the imperial uniform, they could be distinguished from the imperial soldiers at a glance. These people in life are generally taller than the empires, with dark complexions and thick hands and feet. The bridge of the nose collapsed, mostly with brown eyes.
Although it was under the mutiny, the entire army formation was neat and solemn. At first glance, it was well-trained, which was very different from the chaotic other imperial garrisons.
At this moment, an officer was shouting with Camus's people, and the others were silent, glaring at each other fiercely.
The officer who shouted was wearing the uniform of the commander of the empire, but he looked like a mountain man. I didn't know what he had just said to the members of the Southern Army Corps. After a disagreement, he waved his hand, and immediately dragged out a five-flower-tied man by two mountain soldiers.
The man's clothes were messy, although he was wearing the uniform of an imperial officer, but at the moment he was sluggish, and his face was full of fear.
The mountain officer yelled a word that Roddy didn't understand, and didn't know what he said. The mountain soldiers suddenly broke out with an earth-shattering cry.
Roddy frowned, grabbed an officer not far away, and whispered: "What did they say? What did they shout?"
The officer looked terrified and stammered: "Big big...They said, if they don't agree to their request, they will immediately cut off Master Tuhai, and then everyone will fight to death..."
"Tuhai? Is that the captain of the original Mountain Infantry Regiment who was captured?" Roddy frowned and let go of the officer.
Seeing that the mountain army below is getting more and more excited, everyone's faces are full of angry expressions under the torch shining, swords and swords in their hands, and some have aimed their bows and arrows at the Southern Legion Cavalry behind.
After Roddy saw the light of the torch from a distance, Camus was wearing full armor on a dark horse in the cavalry of the Southern Legion, his eyes squinted, his face gradually showing murderous intent. He bowed his head and said something to an officer beside him. After receiving the order, the officer shouted loudly: "Listen to the troubled soldiers! Master Camus has the order! You are only allowed to lay down your weapons within a quarter of an hour and return to the barracks! Otherwise, it would violate the military law and kill you!" He said in imperial language. Said it again and again in mountain language.
As his voice just fell, there was a clamor in the mountain army. The officer under Camus didn't care at all, raised his spear high, and shouted: "All the troops obey orders! Line up!"
With a flash, all the knights in the cavalry queue put down their spears and raised them, and the bright spears pointed at the mountain army.
"In!" The officer shouted again.
The cavalry queue took a few steps forward slowly, and the oppressive momentum filled the audience. In the midst of the massacre, the noisy mountain army fell silent. Everyone gritted their teeth at the black and crushing cavalry in front of them, and the spears in their hands like forests.
The leading mountain officer did not seem to be an idiot. He knew in his heart that in such an open terrain, defending with the cavalry was definitely seeking death. What's more, the opponent is the elite cavalry under the commander of Camus Army?
With a pained expression on his face, he roared: "Master Camus! We have always respected you, do you want to kill all of us mountain people!!"
In this loud shout, full of indomitability and resentment, the officer glared at Camus, as if he was about to explode with anger.
I only heard the voice of Camus: "You are all soldiers of the empire! Naturally I don't want to kill people! As long as you put down your regimental commander and return to the barracks, I will be the master of other things naturally!" All over the audience, everyone heard clearly.
There was a hesitant expression on the officer's face. Camus has the prestige in the East Antarctica, and he will do what he says. But he also knew in his heart that Camus was resolute. If he turned his face down when he wanted to kill, he would never leave a trace of affection. If he gave an order, he would definitely kill him! There is no more room for maneuver. If you work hard at this moment, I am afraid that most of these brothers will be killed tonight.
Just when he hesitated, a voice from the mountain army said loudly: "What nonsense! Their empires will oppress us mountain people! Fight with them!"
This word came from the mountain army, the speaker was hidden in the queue, and it was unknown who said it. As soon as these words came out, it happened to add fuel to the fire, and a lot of emotional mountain soldiers immediately followed and shouted: "Fight! Fight!"
The hearts of Camus and Roddy above the city wall sank, and Roddy felt a faint feeling in his heart. These mountain army mutinies, just now someone added fuel to the fire at a critical moment, it was naturally someone deliberately provoking. I am afraid that some of those tribes have already infiltrated the barracks!
Seeing the passion of the subordinates, the officer could only gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Master Camus! It's not that we don't believe you. It's just this Tuhai that oppresses us too much on weekdays! The brothers have not received the military salary for two months! Just the day before yesterday. A few brothers asked him to reason, but don’t let him kill two on the spot! We can’t swallow this breath! This Tuhai is the governor’s nephew, today we let him go, I’m afraid everyone will be finished tomorrow!"
"Yes!! Can't let him go!!"
"Can't put it!"
...
Countless voices were loud and loud, and there was another commotion.
Camus looked gloomy, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I already know what happened to Tuhai. If you let him go, I will deal with it! I Camus was in the south for ten years, and I once said something to deceive you. Huh!!!"
The words were loud and loud, and everyone suddenly closed their mouths. Can't help feeling loose. They all knew in their hearts that even though Camus was strict, under the prestige of Southeastern, he always said no two. As long as he presides over justice today, since he agreed, he will probably not go back.
Just in the silence, the same voice in the army called out: "Most empires are cunning! Don't be fooled! Fight with them..."
Before he finished speaking, Camus suddenly yelled, "Someone is sneaky! Have the courage to stand up and talk to me!"
With a sudden drink, his voice was like a thunder in mid-air, and the person's voice was immediately cut off.
Camus stared sharply: "Stand up and talk to me! You mountain people have even committed the crime of kidnapping the chief tonight, don't you dare to come out and talk to me?!"
When the mountain army heard these words, they all shouted: "Go out and talk! What dare not! Go out and talk to him! Mountain people have no spoils!"
As everyone's eyes focused, the mountain army formation slowly loosened, and several soldiers stepped away and stepped back. A man in military uniform stood in the middle with a strange expression.
This person was around thirty, with a dark complexion, but his eyes were tumbling around at this moment, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.
Camus snorted coldly, "Didn't you have something to say! Report your rank first!"
The man hesitated and couldn't say a word for a long time.
The mountain leader also looked puzzled and frowned, "Which battalion are you from? Lord Camus asks, just say it! Don't be afraid, don't fall into the prestige of our mountain warriors!"
The man's gaze turned around, his complexion flushed red, and he slowly said, "I...I'm from the second battalion..."
"Nonsense!" Camus cried out, "Your sir! Let him come out!"
As soon as Camus finished speaking, a majestic mountain man walked out, looked at the man, and said loudly, "Master Camus! He is not in my camp! He is the family of a brother in the camp!"
"Humph!" Camus sneered coldly, "Isn't someone in the barracks, how can I get into the barracks! You dare to wear military uniforms and carry weapons! Isn't it a capital crime! You are making trouble tonight, but he was the one who led the way?"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers standing beside the spy immediately looked strange and looked at the man. Tonight, it was this person who instigated everyone to have a fight with Tuhai’s officers. After that, after the quarrel, Tuhai came out to suppress. This person also yelled and attracted many mountain soldiers. Finally, for many days Under the anger of being suppressed, it finally became a mutiny.
In the evening, everyone rushed to the gate of the city to see the governor. In the chaos, even though he was also wearing military uniform and standing with everyone, no one cared too much.
Camus squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "Infiltrate the army with demon words to confuse the crowd! Take it!"
The two cavalrymen immediately responded, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the mountain army.
As soon as the person rolled his eyes, he immediately screamed: "I am a mountain man! Are you going to kill us all!!"
The sound was shouted, and immediately caused a commotion. Several mountain soldiers standing on the periphery immediately pointed their swords at the cavalry soldiers who were approaching, not allowing them to approach.
The man continued to yell: "The empire bullied us too much! Don't the dignified mountain warriors let them bully! Kill them! It's the opposite! The opposite!!"
As soon as these words came out, thinking of the usual bullying and humiliation, a half of the soldiers immediately yelled.
Although the mountain officer who had taken the lead was still somewhat sane, he sighed in his heart and his face gradually sank when he saw a small half of his subordinates clamoring. Although he originally gathered crowds to make trouble, he just wanted to get justice, but didn't want to really rebel. Just seeing the current situation, he can no longer control it.
After all, the mountain people are alien, with a strong mood and simple mind. Coupled with this chaotic situation tonight, half of them lost their composure under the agitation. As the trouble started, at this moment, although a group of people still had a few I was sober, but when I saw all my friends around me yelling, I gradually lost my calm.
Roddy looked in his eyes from a distance, anxious in his heart. Gritting his teeth and looking at Rand next to him, he whispered: "No, let the soldiers on the wall be ready! The archers are ready!"
Rant looked resolute and immediately went down to pass the order. He was the Duke's attendant. Although the defenders were panicked at the moment, they barely formed a line to prepare.
Roddy looked at the defenders of these mobs, shook his head in his heart, thinking that relying on these people, if there is no Camus to support the city, Ziye City might be taken down tonight!
Under the sudden mutiny, although the city gate was closed, the suspension bridge over the moat was not closed. Once the mutiny soldiers rioted, they would really attack the city. If there were no people brought by Camus from outside the city, it would be really dangerous.
"How can I think of a way, get rid of the spy first." It's just that the instigator is very cunning, hiding in the mountain army formation, absolutely not taking a step outside. Roddy calculated in his heart, estimated the distance between himself and that person, and wondered whether he could shoot that guy with an arrow.
Roddy was thinking, and suddenly heard a "swish" sound.
Immediately there was a scream from the city, and the spy had a spiked arrow in his forehead, and he had fallen to the sky. The bright red blood mixed with white brains flowed all over the ground, and the mountain soldiers beside him were all startled and moved away.
Roddy was also startled by this sudden change, and when he moved in his heart, he immediately looked over the city gate. I saw a tall figure standing on the top roof of the tower in the night, the evening breeze blowing his clothes horns. Holding a strange longbow in his hand, the man nodded to Roddy from a distance, and then turned over and jumped off the tower, hidden in the night.
"Duck!" Roddy couldn't help but whispered. He really wanted to follow him without Dak, he really kept his promise and didn't assassinate him again, but he actually showed up to help tonight!
Seeing that the city was already in trouble, Roddy had no time to think about anything else, and his eyes fell on the city again.
Camus was also taken aback. Haven't waited for him to react. The mountain soldiers had already yelled away. Someone yelled, "The empire has killed someone!"
"They murdered! Fight for it!"
"Inverted!"
In the chaos, many people wanted to rush towards Camus's cavalry with swords.
"Stop it!!" Above the tower, Roddy suddenly yelled. At the critical moment, he was lucky and stood on the bricks and tiles of the city wall, and the whole person stood on the edge of the city wall. He was full of anger with this loud shout. Although everyone was in a noisy voice, everyone could hear clearly. That voice struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer. Everyone was shocked and couldn't help it. Looking over the city wall.
In the night, in the light of a torch, Roddy stood proudly on the wall, his body bursting with pale golden arrogance, his blond hair was flying, his eyes swept across the audience like electricity. The arrogance on his body was like a coquettish flame, making Roddy look like a murderous in the night.
Roddy yelled: "Listen to the people in the city! I am the Duke of Tulip of the Empire! The emperor's envoy to the southeast! You gathered a mutiny tonight, and you were committing a capital crime! Lord Camus and I wanted to have a net together , You are still gathered here, do you really want to rebel!! Have you ever thought about the consequences of the rebellion? Most of your family members are in the city, don’t you know the imperial decree, the whole family of the rebels will be cut down!!"
Roddy's words spread throughout the audience in silence, and everyone was shocked when they heard it. Those mountain soldiers who were noisy immediately chilled with blood.
These mountain people are different from the foreign races in the tribes in the mountains. They live in cities and have been under the jurisdiction of the empire for many years. Most of their family members are in the city. It is quite different from the mountain people who live in the deep mountains. Hearing these words at this moment, everyone's heart sank.
Roddy paused for a while, and then shouted again: "You guys gather to make trouble, don't you just want to ask for justice!!! Okay! I'll give you justice!!" After finishing speaking, Roddy grabbed the one next to him. The bow and arrow on the defender were in his hand, and he snorted coldly and bent his bow to shoot.
I only heard a sound of "whoop", an arrow wrapped in golden flames shot down from the wall of the city, and the sound of breaking through the sky was faintly like thunder.
"Pump!" A muffled sound.
Everyone exclaimed, Tuhai, who was with five flowers, even screamed before he was pierced by the arrow. The golden flames on the arrow exploded his chest, and his flesh and blood flew across his chest. He was already dead!
Everyone was shocked by this sudden action, and even Camus didn't expect Roddy to do it.
Roddy put down his bow and arrow, took a cold look at the mountain soldiers under the city, and saw that they were all surprised and unbelieving. He smiled coldly and said loudly: "Your justice, I have already given you! Now I have dozens of them! Everyone will lay down your weapons for me and line up to return to camp! Otherwise, all will be treated as rebellious and slashed! !"
Everyone looked at each other. The leading officer separated from the crowd, knelt down on one knee, and said with his head held up: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for upholding justice for us! But tonight's affairs have already begun! This kidnapping of the chief to gather people to make trouble is also a capital crime We can go, unless the Lord Duke can guarantee that we will not be held accountable tonight! Otherwise, everyone will be dead..." At this point, he slowly stood up without saying a word, just looking at Luo Di.
Roddy snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Imperial Military Law! You committed a capital crime! I will give you two ways to go! First, you immediately put down your weapons and return to camp! I will only pursue the leader for the matter tonight! Don’t ask about the rest!! Secondly, you might as well pick up your weapons! Everyone has a good time! But after you reversed, I immediately ordered the killing of all your family members in the city! No one left!!"
The words "no one left" hit the hearts of these mountain soldiers fiercely. Thinking of the parents and children in the city, many people felt softened.
Roddy didn't hesitate even more, and shouted coldly: "One!"
The soldiers from the mountains under the city looked at each other.
"two!"
The mountain soldiers all looked at the leading officer, who was sweaty and uncertain.
"Three!" Roddy said coldly without hesitation.
"The archer is ready!" Rand Urn let out angrily. A line of defenders immediately stood above the city wall, each holding a bow and arrow, and the arrow aimed at the city.
"Four!" Roddy's cold voice came again.
"My Lord Duke!" the officer yelled: "What you say is nothing! As long as everyone goes back, you will let everyone go! Only the leader!"
Roddy said coldly: "You only believe in General Camus, can I say that Duke Tulip will lie to you!!"
The officer shook his body, thinking of the prestige of the Duke Tulip, gritted his teeth, and finally took a deep breath: "Everyone put down their weapons!"
Roddy nodded, and stopped shouting "Five" when he was talking.
Those mountain soldiers under the city, look at me and I will look at you. Finally heard a "ding", someone took the lead to put down the sword in his hand. With the first person to put down their weapons, immediately other people put down their weapons one after another.
I only heard the constant sound of ding-dong. It turned out that there were a few brave and tough people. Seeing that the people around them gave up and saw that the trend was over, they put down their weapons with everyone.
