That night in the city of Quimper, except for the burning of corpses near the Cami parish, where a large fire was lit, the rest of the city fell into a deathly darkness. People's prayers seemed to be effective, and the regiments under the monastic order did not do any harm to them.
It even helped solve some security problems.
However, early the next morning, before the dawn even appeared, the tranquility of the city was broken.
The newly replenished six major legions began to collect military pay in their respective assigned areas. It was more like looting than collection. Except for the church, which they did not dare to come to, there was no door that had not been knocked open.
The city began to boil. Although there were no murders yet, those vicious soldiers would not be polite to ask for money. When they encountered tough elements, they would also beat them half to death before going to loot them.
They only have one day during the day, so they don't have time to chat with these unruly people.
If there is resistance, there will be suppression. If there is robbery, there will be murder and rape. The nobles will take the lead in resisting, and the non-commissioned officers who come to visit are not softies. Naturally, they cannot be let go in order to scare the monkeys.
As time goes by, the crimes in the city gradually increase.
Even though those legion commanders gave death orders, for these soldiers who took the lead, the most important thing was to feel comfortable. In order not to leak the news, they would kill everyone after the incident, so that there would be no grievance or injustice.
It's a crime.
Knight-level non-commissioned officers did not dare to kill people because they knew that wizards were unpredictable, but ordinary soldiers did not have this knowledge.
After insulting the woman, killing the people, and then burning down the house, destroying the corpses and wiping out traces of the corpses, not long after, continuous flames were ignited everywhere, further stimulating the ferocity of these soldiers.
Ian didn't know this because some wizards called Klimans, including several talented people from his headquarters including Marcus.
At this time, he knew that things were developing just as Shirley said, and the Third Army was about to divide its forces.
According to Klimans, after capturing Quimper, the next task of the Third Army is to capture three cities hundreds of miles away within a month, where the church bells are most prosperous in Tuwen County.
one of the places.
And he invited the wizards over because according to the order conveyed by Black, these people would go out with the legion separately to ensure the safety of communication and vision.
Except for Ian and Marcus, others can freely choose the legion they want to follow and observe their strategic layout, so that the wizards can know their next actions.
Since they are just observing, Ian and others can just find a good seat and listen quietly.
The monastery has no intention of completely conquering every inch of the Scythe Bearer Church. The result that the wizards want is to kill all Hyderian's believers, destroy all the Scythe Bearer churches, and let Hyderian's name be completely forgotten in the country.
The Via Peninsula disappears.
If nothing else goes wrong, when the domestic war in Camelot is over, they will start the battle against Sugar next door.
No matter what, the monastery will definitely fulfill Capas's declaration of war in the royal capital of Camelot that day: the faith of those who bear the sickle will not be extinguished, and the war will not be extinguished!
However, these things are still far away and are not within their scope of consideration. They should first survive the civil war.
The three cities of River Spirit, Sivir, and Ornn are the rare cities in the Kingdom of Camelot composed of pure Scythe-bearing believers. The power of the church has reached its peak there, even to the point where only the church bells can be heard.
, to the extent that they disobey the government's orders, even the forces of the Wizards Alliance can barely maintain an empty shell.
Clapham also set strategic goals
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They have their eyes on them. As long as these cities are destroyed, the monastery will not be far from victory.
It is precisely because of this that it is unimaginably difficult to destroy these three cities.
Because there must be a large number of fanatics, defenders, and priests with high professional titles. The proportion of extraordinary power will be greatly increased. The Third Army will also be completely reduced to a cannon fodder-type servant army. What the monastery wants them to do is to clean up the obstacles.
Pell went to all the resistance in the three cities to ensure that subsequent friendly forces had unimpeded access.
The real main force of the attack became the Second Army under the direct control of Clapham. These troops, which have been fighting the Kraken on the west coast all year round, even ordinary soldiers are more fierce than others.
The third army took the front position, and the second army followed closely behind.
According to the information Julian obtained from Lucy (Lucy was Peg Hardy's bodyguard and could know a lot of inside information in advance), Clapham's original intention was to have the Second and Third Legions act together.
But not long after the order was given, the order was withdrawn, and Pegg was asked to lead the Second Army on standby, while the Third Army took the lead in attacking the three cities.
As for the Death of the Sentinels, Clapham did not move after Capas left. Except for Julian Channing, who lost his power, the others stayed in the camp outside the city, as if they had been forgotten.
Under the arrangement of Klimans, the Cronin Army and another army were assigned to the River Spirit in the east, which is an ancient riverside city 300 miles away from Quimper.
The other four legions also divided their forces into two groups to attack Sivir and Ornn respectively.
After each legion selects a target, it's the wizards' turn to make a choice.
I don’t know if it’s because of what happened yesterday, but all the wizards recruited this time are wizards from the headquarters.
Ian, Jasmine, Sheen and Arthur followed Julian, Pudge, Jocelyn, Marcus and Krist also followed Klimans to Sivir, Wadswolf, Philip and two others drawn from the west coast.
The wizards who came over went to Ornn.
Each legion is equipped with four talented people to ensure that they will not be destroyed quietly and casually by the enemy.
The lord knights and wizards were having a meeting, and the soldiers of the Third Legion were not idle either. By the time Ian and the others came out of the mansion occupied by Klimans, the bloodshed in Quimper City was about to turn into a riot.
.
There was no way, the non-commissioned officers who wanted to get rich allowed the bloodshed to happen intentionally or unintentionally, because they were also busy collecting military pay, and nothing was more important than the gold coins falling into their pockets.
The streets were in chaos and there were soldiers everywhere.
It was okay around the Klimans Mansion. The residents here had already paid the "protection fee", so naturally no one came here to cause trouble, but the riots in other places became more and more intense.
"These ruffians!"
The wizard has extraordinary spiritual power, so he would naturally know what happened when he saw this scene, but it was none of their business, so the group of people just cursed angrily and left alone.
Ian thought for a while, then turned around to find Clemans and the group of lord knights who had not yet left.
"My lords, I have a heartfelt request. I hope you can help me!"
There is no need for the army commanders to worry about such things as looting. Their share of the bulk has already been decided. Therefore, these people have not left yet and are discussing the details of the future. When these people heard Ian's words, they immediately knew
What was he going to say?
Damn it, it’s this bad guy again!
Stop me from getting rich!
Sure enough, I heard Ian request: "I know what you all mean, no matter what
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It’s not just to make a fortune. Now that the city has been captured, the Wizards Alliance’s intention is very clear. Can you restrain your soldiers and ask them to try not to harm people’s lives? Is that okay?”
The faces of the army commanders were a little ugly. Although they did not refuse, they must have been absolutely unwilling in their hearts, because they also had a part in it.
Seeing that these people were unmoved, Ian added: "Just think that I owe you all a favor. From now on, I will respond to whatever you ask for, how about that?"
A wizard's favors are very important, especially for a wizard with a high status, his favors are even more valued.
After hearing this, Klimans and others stopped pretending to be stupid and asked with bright eyes: "Seriously?"
Ian nodded solemnly and said: "I swear on the honor of the Hyde family, if there are no swords today, I will answer your requests in the future!"
"Ian, don't be impulsive!" Jasmine sent a message, "You can save the people in this city. The monastery will conquer more cities in the future. What about those people? Do you want to use the same method to protect them?"
No, it’s impossible. You are just a gifted person, not a savior, understand, you idiot!”
Jasmine scolded Ian angrily, but the others asked in unison with their eyes shining: "Lord Hyde, don't you regret it?"
Ian patted the back of Jasmine's hand, looked directly at the crowd and said, "Of course!"
"very good!"
"Hahaha, someone is here!"
Faced with the gold and silver treasures and the wizard's promise, these people naturally knew how to choose, and immediately called the guards to deliver the order. In order to please Ian, they simply ordered to stop the looting, and reorganized the army and started to stand by.
"How about this? Are you satisfied?" After the arrangements were made, Klimans' face was full of smiles.
This is a smile from the heart, because this time they got a favor for nothing, it was like a big pie fell from the sky.
Ian showed no expression, and casually condensed six bones with Ian Hyde's name engraved on them, handed them to everyone and said: "You can use this token to seek help in the future, I believe no one will be unable to find the monastic order!"
"
The lord knights collected the bones as if they had found a treasure, and their faces were almost bursting with smiles.
Only Julian waved his hands with a complicated expression and said: "The Cronin Legion belongs to your family, there is no need to give me this!"
Ian pushed it over and said, "These are two different things. Who might ask for whom in the future, right?"
When Julian heard this, he reluctantly accepted it.
With this token, he can be considered to have a certain relationship with Ian, and maybe it will be able to help him one day in the future.
Leaving the mansion, Jasmine walked quickly in front, like a beautiful doll on a clockwork. Her steps were so fast that it was difficult to catch up.
Jasmine didn't say a word, but Ian knew that she was angry with him. He quickly ran up to hold her and said warmly: "Okay, don't be angry!"
Jasmine stopped, glanced at him coldly, and said, "I'm not angry. Why should I be angry with you? You are the savior and the great benevolent person. What am I, just a ruthless murderer and executioner!"
When Ian heard this, he thought that this was all wrong, and continued to comfort him: "I didn't say that, and no one said that. I just don't want more innocent people to be hurt. Anyway, a promise can do it."
Why not do it?"
Jasmine crossed her arms and asked, "It's just a promise. Do you know what those people want you to do in the future? What if they cause big trouble and ask you to save their lives? What if they collude with the sea monster and want you to be an internal agent? You
If you have thought clearly about it, then just commit!"
