In the city of Hopelan'er, the two sides held their own opinions and accused each other of being traitors. The situation became fierce again for a while, and both sides yelled at each other. Now no one could tell who was the traitor.
In addition to the five major chambers of commerce, a small number of small forces in the city have remained neutral, such as branches of other large chambers of commerce, such as the Pure White Church, such as the White Orchid Cross Sword, and such as the tourists coming to Hopeland. The situation is now unclear, and both sides are not clear.
They won't attack these people deliberately, so they don't want to get angry.
Lan Li'er and Ling Xin were sitting on the third floor of the 'Flower Beach', looking at the armed men of the Chamber of Commerce who walked downstairs from time to time, and they were talking quietly.
"Lacie looks like a good girl at first glance, so Tisiphone and the others must be bad people." Lan Lier was a typical helper but not a helper.
"It's hard to explain what happened between the chambers of commerce. Maybe Lacey is a good person, but she may not know what the people below have done." Ling Xin seemed to have other feelings.
"No way, Ling Xin, you actually don't stand on Lacey's side."
"Lanli, didn't you listen to the teacher's warning when you were in school? We Emenas students are not allowed to participate in any struggle between organizations and countries before we graduate. We are only allowed to protect ourselves and fight back."
"That's what I said..." Lan Lier turned her eyes and seemed to have other ideas.
"It's useless to think about it. Teacher Filia is downstairs and will definitely not let you out," Ling Xin reminded.
"Oh, well, if I had known earlier, I would have gone back to my home. I still want to show off my skills." Lan Lier was a little frustrated.
-------------------
House of Tisiphone.
Two rows of fully armed warriors stood neatly in the brightly lit hall. They were wearing black cloaks with a white pattern of daggers piercing skulls. These men were the captains of the Tisiphone family's fighting team, and their strength ranked among the highest.
3 or above, and several even reached sequence 4.
As a chamber of commerce that started out selling weapons, the Tisiphone family often took on the business of bodyguards, and even did assassination work in their early years. However, when they became big, they stopped doing it due to reputation. The armed forces in the chamber of commerce were also larger than others.
There are many more chambers of commerce.
In terms of combat effectiveness, even Anemii and Nissus combined may not be able to defeat the Tisiphone family. The newly promoted Carites is strong, but in terms of land armed force alone, it is not as good as the Tisiphone family.
.
At this moment, the head of the old family is sitting at the top, closing his eyes and concentrating. Sitting next to him are Adeley and Wick. From time to time, people outside come in to report the situation.
"Now the three of us have sealed off Hopelan'er. We are guarding the north gate, and we have also sent some elites to the east and west gates to assist. Even if the other party breaks through forcefully, we will have plenty of time to send people to stop it." Wick summarized the current situation.
Case.
"How are the Anemii and Nisos families doing?" Adeley suddenly asked.
"You can't count on it." One of the captains with a scar said casually.
"They have lived in peace for too long, so it's okay to let them block and defend. If they were to kill people with real swords and guns, I probably wouldn't have the courage."
"Really?" Adeley was not annoyed after hearing this. In fact, this was normal and he had expected it.
"But since they boarded our ship, it would be too naive to think that they would get the benefits without getting their hands dirty."
"According to our previous agreement, after the completion of the matter, Carites will belong to us, Nissus and Anemii will share Helis equally, and the three families will jointly rule Hopland and obtain high-level positions in the new national structure."
"The future is bright, but it is impossible to get something for nothing."
Adeley tapped his fingers on the table, paused for a while, and continued to ask.
"How are you getting used to the new weapons?"
Wick called an attendant, and after giving instructions, he quickly walked out of the hall.
After a while, the attendant returned and answered in Wick's ear for a long time.
"They said it's OK." Wick gave a direct answer in the affirmative.
"Then let's get started. Let the team in black protect you, attack the Kalites headquarters, and capture Miss Lacey alive."
"Let us set an example to those timid allies."
Adeley stood up and began to give orders. After that, the captains in the hall filed out.
In the wide courtyard, there was a mass of black soldiers. They stood quietly and arranged neatly. There were nearly three thousand people in total. They were all in black clothes and armor, with a cold light and murderous intent.
With the violent sound of horse hooves, the battle began. A small number of elite armored cavalry opened the way in front and rushed directly to Carites' checkpoint on the street.
A special heavy lance was placed in front of the horse, surrounding a dark spiral stance, directly smashing wooden boxes and sand bags on the street to pieces.
The war horses flattened the debris on the ground and continued to move forward. Several Carites guards who were unable to dodge were directly passed through by lances, and then were thrown to the side of the road, unable to get up again.
But everyone in the Carites Chamber of Commerce also knew that the Tisiphone family had a lot of cavalry, so the streets that followed were strewn with triangular-edged nails. The horses in the front row stepped on the nails, neighing in pain, and then kicked their feet
He slipped and fell to the ground, and the knight on his body was also thrown off. He was pricked with nails and was bleeding profusely.
The intensive sound of crossbows began to sound on the other side of the street, and the front row of Tisiphone's cavalry fell down. There was nowhere to maneuver in the narrow alley, and it was impossible to increase the speed.
Following the command whistle of the battle captain of the Tisiphone family, the cavalry stopped, and the infantry behind them began to enter. They held up heavy tower shields, advanced slowly, and cleared the nails on the ground to clear the way for the follow-up personnel.
"put!"
A guard captain of the Carites family gave an order, and a row of long archers fired rockets one after another.
The red flaming arrows passed through the dark alley and smashed the clay pots at the corner of the street. Oil flowed out of it. The flames spread in the alleyway with the oil, igniting the wooden boxes, sundries, and rags left behind before, and the alleyway was destroyed.
Turned into a sea of fire.
The blazing flames lit up the sky in the alley, and the scorching waves of fire rushed towards the face, making people feel suffocated. The choking black smoke entered the lungs like fire, making it impossible to get close.
Just as everyone in Kalites breathed a sigh of relief, there was a loud roar from the opposite side, and a huge sound of water flow. The spiral water flow passed through the alley like a cannonball, directly lifting up the debris and burning oil in the alley.
After hitting the personnel in the rear, several Kalites combatants were covered in fire. The teammates next to them immediately asked them to lie down and then helped put out the fire.
There was another sound of water flow. The rotating water flow gathered in a certain position and scattered the debris in the alley. The flames also became sparse. If it happened again, the other side would probably be able to attack again.
"I can't stop it, Captain!"
One of the guards shouted loudly, his face covered with gray and his voice was urgent. This situation also happened in other streets. The Tisiphone family lived up to its illustrious name and their fighting power was amazing.
"If you can't stop it, just attack. Do you want to run away like a coward?"
The captain roared at his men, his face was ferocious, and his youth was exposed. These people themselves were born in poverty. If it were not for the support and care of the Carites family, they might still be struggling to survive in some corner.
Nowadays, they live a happy life. If anyone wants them and their families to return to the hungry life of the past, they will dare to fight with them. Having experienced the darkness of mutual aggression and torture at the bottom of society, they will not be so naive as to surrender.
As long as everything goes well, you have to earn any benefits by yourself.
Now that you have become a human being, who would want to be an insect again and live a humble life?
Under the dark night sky, fires were everywhere, shouts of killing, and the sound of weapons clashing sounded throughout the city. The initial unbearability was immediately forgotten after the teammates fell down bleeding, and both sides faced each other in this cold night.
Relying on the flames, they were strangled together, the swords overlapped, and blood spattered.
On the main road leading to Carites, the black-clad team of the Tisiphone family advanced forward with thick shields, like a moving city wall.
Facing the shield wall that could not be penetrated by crossbows, Kalites' heavy cavalry began to charge. The cold blue light began to condense on the sharp spears. The sound of horse hooves increased from slow to fast. In just a few seconds, the speed increased.
, rushing towards the enemy formation in the light of fire.
Suddenly, Tisiphone's black-clad team lowered their shields, and silver-white round rods protruded from behind the shields, with dark holes in the middle of the round rods.
"put!"
Following an order, a burst of fire and gunpowder smoke emerged from the holes in the middle of hundreds of round poles, and the horses neighed. The cavalrymen of Carites fell down and rolled to the ground. Their bodies were covered with broken holes and blood flowed across them.
Let out a painful wail.
Then the barrels of these guns were put away, and Tisiphone's black troops continued to advance, while Carites retreated again and again.
A brand new weapon makes its debut in this world, and it will eventually bring the efficiency of killing lives to a new level.
