In Cold Wind City, the nobles control the north gate.
At night, the city gates are open, torches are lit, and people shout and horses neigh.
Victor Hugo issued a declaration of war late at night, and chaos was about to break out in the city.
Ordinary residents huddled in their homes and resigned themselves to fate. But the nobles were not willing to do this.
Old Arad gathered as many nobles in the city as possible to gather at the city lord's mansion to fulfill their obligations and at least have a fight with the monsters in the Black Forest.
But after the order was issued, not many nobles actually rushed to the city lord's palace. Instead, the news became more and more chaotic, and panic spread, causing a series of chain reactions.
Several roads leading to the north gate were lit with torches. Realizing that something was wrong, the masters of various families waved their whips and fought for the roads with their valuable belongings and their families.
Gentlemen with different statuses usually pay attention to class and dignity, and do not break up easily. At this moment, they were all yelling at each other like shrews, just to grab the chance to leave the city first.
However, the city gate is only so big...
The Kent steward of the Minos family was the most anxious. He ordered the family's knights and attendants to show their swords and axes, and shouted at the carriages blocked at the intersection.
There was an old-fashioned carriage whose wheels were broken and could not move. Two women were sitting in the carriage, carrying several suitcases. The servant who was driving the carriage tried to repair the wheels.
Steward Kent came over in a menacing manner, holding a torch, and slapped the little noble's servant on the head and face, "Push this car away and push it to the roadside."
The whip crackled and drew out streaks of blood, and the women in the car screamed. The servants of the Minos family pulled them to the side of the road and threw all the luggage in the car.
The servant who drove the carriage was beaten and endured the pain, but seeing his mistress being humiliated, he protested and said: "My master has already obeyed the order and went to the city lord's palace to defend, why did he treat us like this?"
Without saying a word, the Minos knight drew his sword and stabbed the driver driver to death.
The old-fashioned carriage was overturned, but it was pushed to the side of the road and still occupied space. Kent ordered his attendants to use an ax to chop it into pieces, and it was completely dismantled with a bang.
The corpses of the servants and fragments of the carriage were thrown on the roadside, and blood flowed out from under the wood. The family members of the little nobles were so frightened that they shed tears, hugged each other, and did not dare to speak on the street.
The road was finally clear, and the Minos family's motorcade ran over the pool of blood and passed quickly. There were also women and luggage in their motorcade. The people on and off the bus even knew each other. Their eyes met and then separated, and their fates were divided.
Relying on the strength of the crowd, the Minos family's motorcade was able to pass through the city gate first. Steward Kent gritted his teeth and ordered his attendants to guard the city gate and not allow other nobles to pass until the second group of the family's motorcade left.
The small nobles who were eager to escape were furious and gathered around to yell and curse. However, the remaining power of the big family was still there, so more people could only ask first and try to reason.
Kent stood at the open city gate, with several family knights fully armed guarding in front of him. He asked his attendants to move their horses to block the road. No matter how many people were scolded by the guards, he would not let them go.
The blockade lasted only half an hour, and the second convoy of the Minos family had not yet arrived. The city gate was getting a little out of control. The minor nobles had also gathered a lot of armed men, and Kent did not have the manpower advantage.
When everyone pulled out their swords, the steward of the Minos family finally softened his attitude and was willing to move the horses away. He himself had already aroused public anger and was forced to turn around and pass through the city gate, pass the drawbridge, and sneak away
Go outside the city.
It was empty outside the city, and the first convoys of the Minos family were waiting outside the city.
Kent wanted to go over and call for help to regain control of the city gate. However, there was a sudden rumble in the dark night, and the sound of horse hooves was quickly approaching.
The sound of the horse's hooves was sudden and explosive, and it came menacingly.
Kent's eyes widened, but he couldn't see anything in the darkness. He shouted "Oh no" in his heart and wanted to run back to the city to hide - the sound of horse hooves was definitely not a good thing.
But it's too late now.
When the old butler turned around, hundreds of sharp sabers appeared along with the rushing horses.
More than ten guards were posted around the Minos family's motorcade. These people had no time to escape or even shout, before they were killed in turn by the enemies rushing past at high speed.
Some guards were struck by four or five consecutive blows, and their bodies were ravaged like rag dolls before they fell to the ground. Some guards were lucky enough to dodge a few times, but were hit by a series of subsequent attacks, leaving blood splashing everywhere.
No one can escape.
Kent was older, but he ran very fast. His hands were shaking, his heart was beating, and he passed the drawbridge, passed through the dark city gate, and shouted into the city: "Hurry and block the city gate, Monster Hugo's men are coming.
Already."
The noise outside the city was so loud, and the people in the city were not deaf, so they had already heard it.
The nobles, big and small, who were facing each other were stunned for a few seconds, and immediately exploded when they heard Kent's cry. Originally, everyone was rushing to leave the city, but now they turned around one by one and fled in a hurry.
The armed men of the Minos family used their horses to block the carriages in the city from leaving. Upon hearing the warning, they jumped over the horses and ran away, rolling and crawling, running faster than a rabbit.
It is said that the horse is made of a thick tree trunk, which is as tall as a person. It is really difficult to climb over without any ability.
Kent, who was very young, hurried to the horse, panting. He stretched out his hand and shouted several times, but no one was willing to help. He stood in front of the horse and tried hard for a few times, but he could only turn around and shout:
"I am Kent from the Minos family. I know Lord Hugo. I had tea with him and had a very pleasant conversation. I also help the Harmony Chamber of Commerce with business."
The sound of horse hooves was slowing down and approaching, and they had already passed the suspension bridge. It was just a dark hole inside the city gate, and still nothing could be seen.
Kent's heart was beating wildly. He waited for two or three seconds and shouted again: "Welcome Your Excellency Hugo to the Cold Wind City. I am Kent from the Minos family. I am willing to be loyal to Your Excellency Hugo. I..."
A tall skeletal war horse rushed out of the darkness with a fierce momentum and bumped into the aristocratic old butler who was talking nonsense.
Kent was knocked away on the spot, and the horse behind him was also knocked away.
Behind the city gate, countless torches were thrown all over the ground. Dozens of chaotic carriages blocked the road. There were discarded luggage everywhere on the ground, and panicked people were screaming and fleeing.
The skeletal horse knocked away several carriages, providing space for the cavalry who had slowed down behind them. Hilly on the horse gently pulled the reins, frowned and said: "Shiying, you seemed to have hit someone just now?"
The dead horse blocked a blocking carriage, and continued to move forward with its dark sharp corners. It said nonchalantly: "I did it on purpose. Who asked him to block my way?"
"Perhaps he was a man who came to surrender, but he was killed by you."
"Will the person who surrenders now be a good person?" The dead horse sneered, relying on its huge body to forcefully squeeze a way out of the street.
The abandoned escape carriage was tilted, overturned, broken, and the luggage was scattered on the ground. Several suitcases fell from the carriage, and a lot of clothing and jewelry were thrown out.
Hilly glanced at them and said, "You are right, I have seen this kind of weak-minded nobles before. They are useless and only do bad things."
