"Sir, my lord...it's my fault, I deserve to die...I shouldn't..."
Next to the pier of Saifan Harbor.
Najib, who was tied up, knelt on the ground tremblingly, his pants were all wet, and he begged for mercy with a trembling mouth, cursing that he was nothing.
However, things just happened to be unlucky. When he got to the key point of "death", his tongue got knotted, and for a moment he forgot which "shouldn't" to start with.
The fire next to him flickered on and off, and after a while he finally got used to the darkness here.
At this moment, he saw the thick blood on the ground, the sausages hanging on the broken wooden boxes, and the white meat discarded on the street... His stomach was churning, and he almost couldn't hold it back.
Vomited it out in one mouthful.
"vomit--!"
After retching for a while, he began to tremble and beg for mercy.
Janusz playfully admired the expression on his face, as if he were admiring a wild dog with its limbs broken off.
"Yes, yes... Orissa," Najib finally remembered the name and looked around at the people surrounding him with a pleading expression, "It was my fault... I killed him! I beg you.
Give me a chance to atone..."
Regardless of whether he killed the person or not, he could only bear the blame.
he knows.
This group of people doesn't make any sense, and they can only stop if they are calmed down.
As if he had seen enough of his performance, and as if he had not had enough of being a Wilante person, Janusz yawned and waved to the people next to him.
"To implicate this evil man, use the flag at the gate of the Governor's Palace."
Najib, who was kneeling on the ground, had not yet come to his senses, nor had the workers surrounding him.
However, there were still smart people who reacted and immediately showed a ferocious smile or other wonderful expressions on their faces.
"That's a good idea!"
"High!"
"As expected of the boss!"
In the end, it seemed that only Najib was kept in the dark, looking blankly and horrified at the people approaching him.
"You, you...what do you want to do...ahhh! Don't-! Let me go!"
People didn't care about his screams and begging for mercy. They took his arms without any explanation and dragged him to the direction of the Governor's Palace...
…
After the defeat of the Weirant people, the captain of the West Sail Harbor city defense army immediately ran away without a trace.
He himself knows best the virtues of the people under his command.
What's more, they originally only had a team of a thousand men, and their weapons and equipment were not much better than those of the guards. At most, they had some artillery and the like.
This alone is of no use, the explosion occurred from within the fortress.
Not to mention that their firepower was suppressed by the rebels, in terms of numbers, they were simply vulnerable.
Not to mention, there are some veterans of the Gray Wolf Army among these rebels.
Janusz personally led people into the city defense army's station, and this was only after "finishing things".
He originally thought that there might be a tough battle, but he didn't expect that the commander of this group of guys just escaped. When the remaining people saw that there was a huge crowd of people outside, they simply raised the white flag and surrendered.
After disarming these leaderless guys, Janusz did not treat them like the lion tribesmen at the port. He just scattered them into his own team and told the ten-centurions and centurions to keep an eye on them.
After catching these guys from the city defense army, they returned to the port area to continue the "carnival" that was not over yet.
This "carnival" lasted until three o'clock in the morning, until the sound of snoring soundly replaced the hoarse screams.
The thugs had finally made enough noise, and the entire Saipan Harbor fell silent as if asleep.
And it was eerily quiet.
All the residents closed their windows and doors tightly, fearing that making any noise would attract the "rebels" with cloth strips wrapped around their arms.
They shouted slogans loudly, not only to kill all the Wilantes, but also to kill all the nobles and scoundrels who cooperated with the Wilantes to establish a country where everything is equal... but in the end they killed more than just
Wilrantians.
That Najib was the first to be liquidated.
Of course, this guy really deserves it.
And the irony is that the person who betrayed him was a member of the long stick team - a slave who had just been ransomed by him.
In fact, if he hadn't been betrayed, it's hard to say whether he would have survived.
After all, the location he was hiding in was really unlucky. Seeing that something was not going well, he actually found an empty house belonging to the Weiland people and hid in it.
He originally thought that those thugs would never dare to touch the Wilantes, but he didn't expect that they were so bold that they didn't want their lives, so they just kicked the door and broke in.
The angry people ignored his screams and took him directly to the port. They humiliated him first and then strung him on the burnt flagpole.
And it is strung from bottom to top.
It is said that he could still scream at the beginning, but later it was so painful that he even bit off the base of his tongue and lost his breath.
As for the "long sticks" who betrayed Najib, they did not get any benefits in the end.
The angry insurrectionists retaliated for injustice and revenge. They took the long sticks they had used to beat themselves and beat them into pulp.
This is not the end.
The real reckoning has just begun!
Those who wear the clothes and use the things of the Wilrants, either do things for the Wilrants, or have dinars in their pockets but no cloth strips on their arms, or they have all the eight poles.
Some random guy was accidentally injured by the butcher knife.
Such as Govinda's neighbor.
It's just that that guy was too timid, and that "bayonet" didn't see red.
People were frightened by these murderous guys.
Maybe some of those guys were shocked by themselves, but as of now, they can only tie the bandages on their sleeves a little tighter.
Otherwise, let alone the Weiland people coming back with revenge, they might be accidentally injured by their own people first.
However, these people who were covered in blood but were still conscious were actually a minority.
Most of the guys who were red-eyed didn't think that much at all, and were even dazzled by the victory. They even thought that if the legion didn't talk about it, they wouldn't talk about it. At worst, they would capture Tiandu and fight all the way to the Triumph City!
This is not Yanusz's deception, they feel so from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, how can the hundreds of cannon fodder dying on the streets be considered human beings?
On the other hand, they had clearly counted the Wilant guards who fell in the port area, no more, no less, exactly 61, and they were all beaten to death miserably.
The rest were either citizens of Sailsport or servants from other legion colonies, and the total number was less than 200.
Some of them probably took off their clothes and ran away, and they didn't bother to count them carefully.
What a legion.
Nothing more than that!
…
The church of the Silver Moon Cult.
Yin Sheer, who was hiding under the curtains, looked outside quietly, frowning tightly.
The believer squatting next to him swallowed and said with a trembling voice.
"...These people have gone crazy."
He just saw with his own eyes that several people with cloth strips tied on their arms kicked open the door and pulled a group of people out.
The man seemed to be a security guard at the Labor Registration Office. He had some impression of the guy. He seemed to be a horse tribesman.
However, it was precisely because of his impression that he knew that guy definitely did not deserve to die...
However, those people obviously didn't care that much. Soon there were sounds of smashing things, men's roars, children's cries, women's screams, and the sound of gunshots that brought everything to an abrupt end.
Looking at the group of devils walking out of the door, Yin Sheer gritted his teeth, wishing that his gums would bleed.
He couldn't believe that these guys were actually his compatriots. Even if they were persecuting the Weirant people, it would make him feel a little better...
But what made him suffer even more was that the tall and burly image in his heart was crumbling bit by bit.
He once admired "Boll" immensely.
He once believed that people can unite, even if they are a group of people who have nothing and can't even read a few Chinese characters.
However, reality slapped him hard in the face.
In the end, he suddenly discovered that he who was saying some nonsense was the clown who was driven into the corner with sticks by everyone - that is, the guy named "Ken" in "Boll the Awakener".
The snow in Boulder City fell in his heart again and again, burying all hope and beauty.
He wrote all his hatred in his eyes.
He hates the Legion and the Empire, but he hates these insects in front of him even more!
If one day in the future, the survivors of Borneo Province can finally get rid of this humiliating memory, and the person who leads them out of the wasteland will definitely trample these evil ghosts under his feet and kill them one by one.
Bury the rest in the red soil!
Most definitely!
The leader obviously noticed his gaze, but he smiled casually, and even made a provocative gesture towards him, as if to say, "Come out and chat if you can."
Probably because he had an order from above, he was not allowed to touch the church with the moon hanging on it for the time being. The patrolmen passed by here several times, but no one came up and knocked on the door.
However, even so, no one dared to relax, and no one could tell how long this order would last.
After all, these people are unreasonable. They do whatever comes to their mind. They go wherever they go. Changing their mind is just a slap on the head.
"...There are too many Weirant people left here. We shouldn't take them in."
One of the believers looked back, swallowed, and said tremblingly.
There are more than two hundred Weiland people hiding here, even more than the believers here.
Most of them were women, and some had children. Their eyes were full of fear.
"It has nothing to do with who they are... What we want to abolish is the privileges of the nobility and outsiders, not the massacre of defenseless people. Otherwise... sooner or later we will become the evil ghosts we once feared."
Yin Sheer suddenly stopped talking because he found that this rhetoric could not convince anyone at all.
He's still trying to imitate those guys.
It was at this moment that he suddenly understood what Mr. Melgio had said to him before the sun set.
This won't work...
Taking a deep breath, he changed his tone and continued in a narrative style that all people in Borneo could understand.
"...Think about it carefully. The Velant colony is not too far from here. When the legion's troops come, those people outside will die sooner or later. And if we want to survive, we must prove that we are innocent.
...They are the best evidence. If they die, none of us will be able to survive. But as long as they are still there, not only we can survive, but our family members can also survive."
A pair of eyes finally showed an expression of understanding, and some people who were still struggling or hesitating finally calmed down and no longer mentioned the matter of driving those people away.
Even if it's just one, someone has to remember that this city isn't all crazy.
Otherwise, as Yin Sheer said, they might all have to be buried in the soil with those lunatics...
Sitting on the edge of the crowd, Margery's face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she had not yet recovered from the shock.
At that time, she didn't even think about it. She didn't even ask for her luggage. She took Ruby's hand and ran out. Before the battle was over, she ran out of the port area and hid in this church.
There are actually many people who think the same as her, but there are only a hundred or so who have succeeded.
She simply didn't dare to think about it...
If he had made the wrong move at that time, what tragic end would he and Ruby have suffered...
"Mother……"
"Don't be afraid," Margery held Ruby's little hand, trying hard to keep her voice from trembling, and comforted her softly, "It will be fine... Aren't you still going to play with sister Ansuya?
You can see her soon. Do you want her to see a Ruby who cries when she encounters difficulties? She admires you very much."
With her red eyes, Ruby nodded, shook her head, and finally held back the tears that were pooling in her eyes and did not cry out.
Margaery forced a smile from her face and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"So good..."
"Weilant people don't cry. Our tears dry up the moment we are born."
It was quiet in the church.
Apart from whispers and soft sobs, no one really cried.
Looking at the Wilantes hiding in the church, Melgio's face was filled with sadness.
The old nun standing aside looked at him and said in a very low and soft voice.
"We simply don't have enough food to feed so many people, not even enough for one meal. Moreover, if the rebels find out that there are so many Weirant people hiding here... they will tear everyone here apart."
"I know……"
Melgio glanced at the bright moonlight outside the window with a frown, and sighed softly.
"But I can't leave these poor people alone..."
Although he had never been to the port to see it, just by hearing the miserable screams, it was not difficult for him to imagine what happened there.
Even though he didn't like the Weillant people, and even hated their noses, he still couldn't push these innocent people into the fire pit...even if he was standing on the edge of the fire pit.
This is not only because of the teachings of the Silver Moon Goddess and the Spirit of the Sand Sea, but also because of the conscience in his heart.
"I know... we can't leave them alone, but keeping them here is not an option," the old nun said in a low voice with a bitter expression on her face, "We have to find a way to send them out of the city.
...Only when they leave the city can they be truly safe."
The rebels have just taken control of the port and have not yet fully taken over the entire settlement.
If you want to go out of town, now is probably your only chance...
But how can so many Weiland people get out?
Melgio's face was filled with sadness, and at this moment there was a knock on the door, which instantly made everyone in the church feel their hearts in their throats.
"Dongdong——"
The clear knock on the door was like the footsteps of death.
Margery, who was sitting on the bench, like her compatriots here, held her breath involuntarily and held her daughter's little hand tightly.
But at this moment, a low voice floated in from outside the closed door.
"Excuse me...is Miss Margery inside? This old slave is Sharma's housekeeper...if you are inside, please respond."
Hearing that voice, Margery covered her mouth in excitement, and then raised her hand to indicate that the person calling outside the door was her.
Pairs of eyes looked towards her, including Yin Sheer who was standing at the door.
Yin Sheer was also undecided and looked at Pastor Melgio standing in the church.
The latter was silent for a moment, and then nodded.
"...Open the door."
Hiding here will definitely lead to death. Maybe the person who comes in can find a way.
As the door of the church opened, an old man with a relatively strong body walked in with a man with a cloth wrapped around his arm.
Seeing the strip of cloth wrapped around his arm, Yin Sher's eyes widened for a moment, and everyone around him grabbed the weapons in their hands.
It's Janusz's man!
We must not let this guy go back alive!
Seemingly seeing the murderous intent in those eyes, the old man quickly raised his hand.
"Don't get excited... Sahadu is Lord Sharma's servant. This is my nephew, named Parveen. He may have done something stupid, but I can guarantee with my life that he and those people outside will
It was different, he woke up in time."
The young man named Parvin was also obviously frightened, but when he saw the look in Sahadou's eyes, he came back to his senses and hurriedly explained.
"I...I was also forced to do so. Those guys killed everyone they saw..."
"How can I trust you?" Yin Sheer lowered his voice and tightened the knife in his hand.
Pavin swallowed and said in a trembling voice.
"I can't make you trust me... But as long as you are not a madman, you should know that those guys are dead. Not to mention that the alliance will not help them, I am afraid that even the devil Lacy will not help them. I don't want to
Death...is this reason enough?"
"That's enough, the logic is very clear," Yin Sheer walked up and patted him on the shoulder, then pulled him aside, "Please forgive me for my previous offense, we have no choice but to do it just like you."
After a pause, he continued.
"Do you have a way out?"
Pavin nodded hurriedly and spoke quickly.
"Yes... let me be a captain of ten. In ten minutes or so, around four o'clock in the morning, this street will be under my control. Then I will think of a way to keep people away. There are many people here.
We've been having fun all night at the port, and I guess four o'clock is when patrols are at their most relaxed."
Noticing the longing eyes looking at him, Pavan felt his scalp numb slightly and whispered.
"...It's just that it's not realistic for everyone to escape, but there's still no problem for a few people."
The old housekeeper named Sahadu also said quickly.
"I parked a carriage outside the city... to pick up Lady Margery and Miss Ruby."
Margaery asked anxiously.
"Can you get a few more carriages to come over?"
Sahadou swallowed and nodded hastily.
"It should be possible...but then we have to go back to the master's manor. I have no way to contact the master now."
In fact, he didn't want to cause trouble at all. He took a big risk by going to the city at this juncture. If he wasn't careful, he and his nephew might die.
Margaery gritted her teeth, grabbed Ruby's little hand, then gave the maid next to her a look and stood up from the chair.
"Wait for me here...after I get out of here, I will definitely bring someone to rescue you!"
She will not give up on these compatriots.
She will do her best to convince Earl Sharma.
Hasn't that guy always been eager to advance to the core power circle of Tiandu with the help of the Weirant people?
This opportunity is right in front of you!
As long as he can rescue some people, even if he only rescues a dozen or twenty people, when the situation calms down, he can at least be made a Duke!
"The Silver Moon Goddess has witnessed your oath... Go, madam," Melgio said softly, "I believe you will not forget your compatriots."
Margaery nodded seriously.
"That's for sure, I swear to my little Ruby -"
As soon as she finished speaking, that demon-like voice suddenly floated in from outside the door.
Everyone's heartbeats were frozen for an instant, as if they were under a spell.
"Ruby? Tsk...what a nice name."
…
The imperial palace in Tiandu.
Wu Tuo was fast asleep in the palace, dreaming about battleships and Xilan coins.
However, at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps and a hurried report suddenly woke him up from his dream.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Rebellion, rebels——"
"Rebels?" An excited figure sat up from the bed. Wu Tuo hurriedly straightened his appearance, stared at the eunuch who was kneeling on one knee and asked, "Where is the rebellion again?"
The eunuch was so angry that he didn't dare to take a breath, and pressed his head firmly against the plush carpet trimmed with gold.
"...Sail Harbor! It's Sai Sail Harbor!"
Sails Harbor?
Wu Tuo was stunned for a moment, and the sleepiness that had just been interrupted came back to him again, he rubbed his brows and said.
"Isn't that the territory of the Weiland people? I've already given it to the Weiland people to take care of."
The eunuch continued with a bitter expression.
"That's what you say... But the problem lies with the Weiland people. Somehow, those workers were so brave that they actually robbed the weapons that the Weiland people put in the port warehouse and took those people away.
Sailport has been captured!"
Wu Tuo's heart suddenly thumped, his mouth opened wide, and he froze on the bed.
Bundle……
The Wilantians' port was captured?!
He himself didn't even know that the low-class people under his command actually had this ability!
no--
If they were really that powerful, how could they still look so bad on Shifeng Mountain?
Because the expeditionary force was so embarrassing, he didn't even bother to issue an edict to call them back, so he left them alone in the empire's small enclave in Haiya Province.
Looking at His Majesty who was stunned, the eunuch stammered.
"Those rebels have occupied the port... Now the Wilant people living there are in danger. I'm worried that the Legion will anger us. We'd better think of a way to save the people there."
When Wu Tuo came back to his senses, his first reaction was to ask for help from the legion. However, he quickly thought that both Governor Huye and General McClun had gone home to celebrate the New Year.
To be precise, it is the "birthday" on the second weekend after the Chinese New Year.
Wu Tuo got out of bed and paced back and forth anxiously.
For a moment, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurried up to the eunuch, looked down at him and asked.
"Where are the soldiers trained by General McClung? Aren't there still some in Lion State?"
The eunuch said with a sad face.
"Those are all officers and non-commissioned officers. Their total income is just over 1,000. They are no match for the rebels..."
Wu Tuo asked anxiously.
"How many rebels are there!"
"No, I don't know... I can't tell you the exact number. Some reports say it's fifty or sixty thousand, and some say it's over one hundred thousand." The eunuch swallowed his saliva and said in a panic, "Your Majesty... issue an edict.
, only by sending your imperial guards over can it be possible to deal with those guys!"
The thoughts in Wu Tuo's mind were spinning rapidly, and he could not ignore this matter.
If he refuses to save his life, the Weiland people will definitely settle the score with him afterwards.
However, what he has to consider is not only the safety of the Weirant people, but also his own safety!
Now that the Gray Wolf Army is fighting in Mengma Prefecture, he only has the last card left in his hand: the Imperial Guard.
If his Praetorian Guards were sent out, who else could protect him?
Rely on Tiandu's city defense army?
The most embarrassing thing about the Xilan Empire is this bunch of things. Those poor devils who smell like mud are of no use at all!
Of course it would not work to send the city defense troops there, that would be almost equivalent to giving away people's lives.
Choosing the lesser harm, Wu Tuo gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision.
"Let the Shizhou local army assemble!"
The eunuch was stunned for a moment. He remembered that His Majesty had emphasized repeatedly not only the alliance but also the local forces taking advantage of the opportunity to grow bigger.
Both would undermine the very foundation of the empire.
If the local troops in Shizhou are allowed to assemble, wouldn't it be equivalent to replicating the Tiger State and Leopard State in the west?
Of course the nobles in those places are willing to recruit troops, but it is difficult to get these soldiers to take off their armor and return to their fields.
"But--"
"There are Weiland people in Lion State. Even if the local power becomes big, there is nothing to fear. No need to say anymore, just do as I say!" Wu Tuo's eyes flashed with a bright light, and his decisive tone made him kneel down.
The eunuch on the ground swayed.
It wasn't that he was frightened to the point of peeing by His Majesty's arrogant and domineering attitude. It was rare for him to urinate without being controlled, but every time his respected Majesty patted his head and made a decision, it was bound to be bad, and he was worried.
Same this time.
How about discussing with the cabinet before making a decision?
He really thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only respond in a submissive manner.
"yes……"
Just as His Majesty Wu Tuo's edict and envoys were rushing towards Shizhou, the sun of the next day had already set again on the blood-stained port.
The putrid smell permeated the entire dock, attracting countless flies and rats, as well as vultures soaring in the sky...
It’s impossible to count how many people died last night, but one thing is for sure, this purge was absolutely thorough enough. Even the man from Boulder City looked down on the Workers’ Association from the bottom of his heart, thinking that they had nothing to do with the inner city aristocrats.
Kent, who is no different, will definitely be silent and speechless.
Enough people have died this time.
It's thorough enough.
I just always feel like...something's not quite right.
In this way, the bloody carnival lasted for two days and two nights.
It wasn't until the early morning of the third day that Janusz finally seemed to remember what he was going to do, and finally recognized his supporters, so he waved his arms and led the slaves who had broken free from the shackles and chains out of the city, saying
To save more slaves.
Slavery must definitely be abolished. The examples of West Sails and Golden Gallon are enough to prove that there is a stronger chain in this world than the contract, and new empires will also have to use this thing in the future.
When he thought of what he was going to do, his whole body trembled with excitement and his face glowed red.
It was at this time that he suddenly felt that the title "King" was still too small and was not enough to sum up his achievements.
So, he rewarded it to his subordinates, and divided it into thirteen kings, corresponding to the thirteen states of Borneo Province.
As for himself, he proclaimed himself the King of Heaven, the only king in the world!
In order to make his name sound louder, he also incorporated some legends about the Heavenly Wolf swallowing the sun into the title of Heavenly King, saying that the wolf people had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he was the one chosen by the Wolf God.
people.
As for the capital of the new empire in the future, it will also be set in Langzhou, which is his hometown.
There were fully two hundred thousand people gathered under his command, and most of them were slaves and serfs.
Not all of them were from Sisail Harbor, but some were from nearby estates.
As for the dock workers who lit the fire in the first place, they became a minority in the team...
This is also inevitable.
After all, although Xifan Port gathers 99% of the wealth of the entire Lion State, its population only accounts for just over one-ninth of the entire state.
Everyone in the rebel army knows that only those few people cannot make a big storm. They must involve more people and burn the fire farther. Only in this way can they hope to survive!
In addition, since they have decided to do something big, they naturally cannot call themselves rebels.
Janusz quickly gave his organization a name, the King’s Salvation Army, or the Heavenly Army for short!
Although it sounds rustic, it is enough if it is impressive enough. His subordinates are not very educated people anyway.
And the most important thing is that he can't figure it out himself. He really can't think of a better name, so he can only stuff it in with something bluffing.
To be honest, this name really frightened a man who had just returned to Dawn City from the Southern Sea to celebrate the New Year.
Heavenly army!
Why does this name sound like "weather in heaven"?
When the information about the "Heavenly Army" reached Chu Guang several times, it was already the morning of the fourth day after the "Xifan Port Tragedy" occurred.
It is New Year's Day in the year 214 of the Wasteland Era.
At the same time, the thousand-man team led by Ross finally arrived at Xisail Port and were ready to start supporting.
A total of two transport ships, a supply ship, and a shallow water heavy gunboat performed the transportation mission.
This thing is said to be an offshore ship, but in fact it can also be driven in the open sea.
The Legion has not mastered mind interference technology, but the sound waves of specific frequencies emitted by sonar devices can also drive away some dangerous alien species.
Two transport ships and one supply ship will immediately begin the evacuation mission after unloading supplies.
The submarine heavy gunboat stayed on the shore to provide support.
The plan is perfect.
The only pity is that no matter how you look at it, they are all late...
Looking at the messy and bloody port, Rose's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
His hands clung to the railing of the ship's string to steady himself, and the paint flakes even penetrated into his flesh.
Standing next to him, McClung's face was equally gloomy and terrifying, holding a telescope in his hand and staring at the port with cold eyes.
I saw a burnt black flagpole standing on the roof of the Governor's Palace, with a corpse strung on it that had been almost eaten by crows and had only bones and meat residue left...
There was more left in the open space, and the plasma painted almost every brick red.
That seemed to be a provocation to the Legion.
What's even more ridiculous is that there are still several 100mm cannons on the port that they gave to the locals.
Those toothpicks were stuck there, facing me motionless.
The artillerymen and soldiers squatting on the port seemed not to pay attention to their four ships at all.
"brute……"
Chewing the word a thousand times, Ross finally let go of the almost twisted railing and looked behind him.
It's not just him.
All the soldiers on the deck were ignited with anger. They stared with splitting eyes, their livid faces as cold as blades.
"It's a predator..."
Rose stretched out his trembling index finger and pointed in the direction of the port, the expression on his face gradually distorted.
Then, he took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and shouted in an almost growling voice.
"Ship gun! Reload!"
"Give me a blast—!
!”
"Blast until I tell you to stop!
"
