Chapter 533 Tragic Situation in the City
The Guards Corps roared through the wilderness and arrived at Danyu City.
Looking from the city wall, everything in front is golden like the sun. The laurel flag symbolizing the royal family is fluttering in the wind. The most elite warriors in Doguland are wearing iron armor and their eyes are cold, like a head of fury ready to attack.
The beast brings an indescribable sense of oppression.
This time, Bolton led the Guards Corps to arrive without sending a letter to Danyu City in advance. Therefore, when the army approached the city, the defenders of Danyu City were so frightened that they thought it was an enemy attack and moved out all the city defense equipment.
However, the city defense commander was well-informed and quickly recognized the laurel flag of the Guards Corps. He did not know why this ace force suddenly came to Danyu City, but no matter what the reason, he did not dare to neglect it at all.
He quickly ordered people to open the city gate and went out to greet him personally.
As soon as the commander ran out of the city gate, he saw Bolton standing at the front of the line on horseback. He had never had the opportunity to see His Royal Highness the prince's face before, and he would definitely not recognize him if he met him on a regular basis.
But everyone knew that the commander of the Guards Corps was Prince Bolton. The commander went up to him and bowed humbly: "Your Highness, your visit makes me frightened. Is there anything I can do?"
Are you at your service?"
After the commander finished speaking, he secretly glanced up at Bolton, and couldn't help but call him a good guy. This man was riding a tall, pure-blooded horse. His tall and majestic figure was even more majestic than the horse beneath him. His armor reflected the sun's brilliance.
It weighs at least a hundred kilograms. The stern face is expressionless, and the sharp eyes are full of vigor that has been stained by the journey.
If the two armies are fighting, the two sides will fight in front of the battle line. If they encounter a strong-looking general like Burton, the opponent's momentum will be weakened by three points.
The commander only took one look and did not dare to look again. He lowered his head and waited for his resignation.
Bolton looked up at the Danyu City flag planted on the city wall, snorted coldly, and said two words expressionlessly: "Change defense."
Change defense?! These words shocked the commander.
City defense deployment is not just a matter of playing house, it can be changed at will.
It would be easier if he had an official document, but if a large army is approaching the city like now and he opens his mouth to change defenses, how can he withstand it as a city defense commander.
The commander hurriedly leaned over and said: "Your Highness, the city defense force needs a transfer order from the city's "military commander" for the change of defense. How about... you first ask the brothers to wait outside the city, and then go to the military commander to get the transfer order.
?”
As soon as the commander finished speaking, he felt a strong momentum rushing towards him, making him breathless.
Bolton didn't say anything, but King Kong glared at the commander angrily. A terrible sense of oppression came like a landslide. Although the more than 8,000 guardsmen behind him did not move, they seemed to be filled with fierce murderous intent.
, as if blood will be drawn out at any time.
The commander was so frightened that he was almost paralyzed. He threw all principles behind him, kept shouting "obey orders", and fled back to the city in embarrassment.
Soon, the orders were passed down one level at a time, and the Danyu City defense troops came down from the city wall with their heads down, and stood in a row at a loss, bowing and waiting for the guards to enter the city.
They watched helplessly as their weapons were confiscated, and the Danyu City flags on the city walls were removed and replaced with laurel flags. It was as if they were surrendering their troops one by one, but no one dared to speak.
If a foreign enemy invades, there is no guarantee that some soldiers would rather die than surrender.
But now the opponent is a friendly army. The so-called official level is crushing people to death, and the same is true for the military level. What's more, the Guards Corps is no longer a bigger problem than the Danyu City Defense Force. In front of these Guardsmen, they
Not even the grandson.
The completion of the defense change means that Danyu City is completely under the control of the Guards Corps. The whole process only took 14 minutes.
Bolton acted vigorously and resolutely, and did not stop after entering the city. He led his lieutenants and more than a dozen personal guards to the governor's residence in Danyu City.
As people walked through the streets, they could see the desolate scene in the city at a glance.
The main road leading to the Consul's Residence was supposed to be the busiest street, with all kinds of shops bustling with business and a wide range of merchandise, but now it looked full of depression.
On both sides of the street, almost all shops have hung signs saying they are closed, and their doors are closed. Domestic garbage that has not been cleaned for a long time is scattered on the ground. From time to time, you can see people wearing commoners sitting on the roadside, muttering to passers-by.
Begging for food.
Beggars begging for food can be found everywhere, even in the richest royal city, so it is not uncommon.
However, those beggars are basically in ragged clothes and unkempt, and they look like they have been wandering on the streets for many years.
The people begging in front of me were all civilians, judging by their clothes. Many of them were bringing their families with them, their wives sobbing quietly beside them, and their young children beside their parents at a loss, looking at the passers-by with wide eyes.
There are even pregnant women with a heavy belly. Because they don't have enough to eat, they can only sit on the roadside with their husbands, waiting for help.
Burton had only seen this kind of scene during war years.
But now is the time of peace, and you must know that this is Danyu City!
In the Danyu Plain, the granary of the kingdom, the place with the most fertile soil and the richest crops in the entire Doguland, there is a tragic situation where civilians cannot afford to eat and are forced to beg on the streets?!
Bolton looked around at the depressed scene in front of him, his clenched fists made a clicking sound, and there seemed to be anger burning in his eyes: "What on earth did these dog officials in Danyu City do to end up like this..."
"General... Please give us some food, General... My daughter hasn't eaten for several days, ugh..." Suddenly, a woman's whimpering sound came to Bolton's ears.
Soon, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and it must be the deputy general who approached, and he was heard to say seriously: "Please don't get close, keep your distance."
Bolton turned around and saw a woman holding her young daughter, crying and following the marching column. She wanted to ask for some food from the soldiers. The lieutenant general stopped her out of safety concerns.
, she could only cry helplessly there.
The young girl in the woman's arms was so hungry that her cheeks were thin, but she was very well-behaved and did not cry. She just snuggled quietly in her mother's arms, looked at Burton with her big blue eyes, and was cautious.
He stretched out his little hand and waved, greeting him greenly.
Compassion has no power, Bolton has always had a heart as solid as stone, but looking at the little girl in front of him, he felt a surge of sadness in his heart.
Because this little girl is so similar to his sister Solandel, they both have long platinum hair and big blue eyes, and they are similar in age.
The scene before him could not help but give Bolton the illusion that the crying woman begging for food was his mother Catherine, and the little girl in her arms who had not eaten for several days was Solandel.
