Chapter 1668: The Great Uprising of Elishare
At 2:00 a.m. on November 28, 1228, the soldiers of the Rose Legion who were responsible for besieging the Fortress of Olahran had already eaten and drank, clapped their hands, returned to the ship, or rested in the camps on the island. However, the artillery positions set up on the island of It were still busy.
Although we have the help of dwarf engineers and alchemists, and have practical experience, setting up such a large super-guided cannon still requires great care for the artillerymen of the Rose Legion. The barrel is too long and needs temporary splicing. There cannot be any mistakes when splicing. The crafts of first-class engineers must be used. The gun body is too heavy, and the recoil can make the ground axis tremble. The foundation of the floating island is not as good as the mainland, so the craftsmanship of the alchemist must be used. In addition, any shell that goes fire may send everyone to heaven, so you have to be careful.
From the busyness after dinner to the second half of the night, everyone was a little tired, but when they looked at the giant cannon that had to be ten stories high, lifting the cannon barrel and pointing at Yuntian, they all felt a sense of heat in their hearts. The artillerymen couldn't wait to fire the cannon to try it, well, the big and meaningless fortress under the muzzle is a good target.
This is the most powerful weapon in human history, right? Even the "Sun God's Eye" in the fortress cannot match. It is already the village name A-Shoes led by the Fourth Legion (actually) artillery, Captain Grant looked at the cannon god of the giant cannon with a fascination, as if he was aimed at the sky. Thinking of the scene where their predecessors would have stood for thousands of years but not falling, his heart was filled with excitement.
However, as a pragmatic and good young man, he always felt that setting up such a giant cannon was a bit of a suspicion of killing mosquitoes. In fact, the twenty generals of the Burning Mountains arranged here could cover all the fortress. He was also fully confident that he could completely suppress all the firepower of the fortress. The so-called "Sun God Eyes" of the country-controlled artifact, which takes at least five minutes to charge a shot. As soon as he showed up, he could fire tens of thousands of cannons and destroy the other party's cannons and people on the cannon mount.
In this way, what is the significance of these two Gustfa No. 2 and 3? Well, then again, why is it called Gustfa?
"Maybe, just for deterrence?" Grant said to himself.
"No, it's for another purpose. The fortress in front of me is not the target." A voice sounded behind him.
Grant was shocked. If the other party's voice was not really pleasant, clear and warm without any malice, and had heard it vaguely, he might have pulled out his sword and guide gun.
When he turned around, he saw a woman nodding to him... Well, maybe it was a higher dimension that surpassed the mortals between a handsome and a beautiful young man with a handsome appearance. Although she had put away her light wings and her body was only the size of an ordinary person, the gorgeous holy light she had brought was completely condensed into her body and hidden invisible. However, the exquisite and even somewhat dreamy beauty was enough to prove her inhuman existence.
"Miss Sareil." Grant bowed his head and saluted, but he thought to himself that you are not an angel. Why is the way you appear now is like a backbone of the Dark Brotherhood?
He has always been under great pressure for the Lord, the biggest "resident" of the Lord. However, he was a little confused about the reason why the other party appeared at this time. You know, in the past few months, the battles determined the future of the Federation, but also determined the royal power of the Lord Lu Xi. Naturally, none of them were present. But only Miss Sareil, the most powerful and most powerful, said to have the highest commanding power, was the master who participated in the War of the Gods in the ancient times, but never appeared.
Either it means that people disdain this kind of "mortal" struggle at all, or she has more important tasks to do.
"I went to get some things, and now I finally came back at the right time." Miss Angel replied.
Grant did not ask what it was. As a steady and responsible friend among Lu Xi, he has never been an over-curious person. If he needed information he knew, he would tell him if he didn't ask.
"Mr. Grant, let your soldiers take turns to rest, but be sure to be ready to fight at any time."
Grant didn't think that the panic-ridden defenders in the fortress had the courage to do rashly, and he believed that Miss Sareil could see it. After all, this little angel girl who looked sweet-smile, in terms of how long she led the troops, was longer than the days of her own friends' lives.
Then, there is only one possibility. There will be an enemy more exaggerated than the Aolahlan Fortress that the clan in front of us has been operating for hundreds of years, or a target worth a few shots.
Grant nodded with a serious expression and was about to send the order, but he heard the Angel Miss say again: "In addition, let me tell us the orders of Lord Luci Berenkaster, and it is now three o'clock in the morning. When the time comes, I will immediately launch three signal flares in the direction of Elichar."
Since it was fired by something like Gustav cannon, even signal flares are earth-shaking.
The sound of his artillery shocked the soldiers inside Aolahran woke up. After a few seconds of confusion, they suddenly felt that the enemy was eating and drinking and preparing to attack at night. However, most people, not only did they go up to the city wall to resist, but they even hugged their heads and hugged in a corner of the wall and began to shout "Mom".
Why didn't the officers gathered to encourage them? Because at this time, the noble officers who were scared out of their courage in the just-concluded Battle of Dongmen Island were even worse than ordinary soldiers.
Fortunately, although they had no courage, they had at least their brains. No one was foolish in opening the Sun God's Eyes. Otherwise, the more than 20 cannons that were ready to be fired outside would be not as simple as signal flares.
In short, the whole of Olahran was in such a chaotic situation for nearly an hour. Only then did someone tremble up the lookout table, exposed his head and looked out, and found that the enemy troops besieged did not react much. He was relieved and then reported to Marshal Menthus. The latter may be the only person in this fortress who can still maintain peace.
"So, please rest assured, the enemy did not attack. It was probably just a bluff."
Seeing that the marshal did not speak, Colonel Yumil forced himself to comfort him, "It was probably because the enemy was scared by the indestructible city defense of Olahran, so he used such shameful tricks."
"Are you shameful? Haven't you all been scared?" The marshal said with a blank expression: "If they really attack the entire army at this time, can you defend it?"
Colonel Ymier was speechless, but Mencius laughed and sighed, "But, this is no longer my business." He patted Ymier's shoulder with a rare look of joy, then walked to the window and pushed open the window. The cold night wind in the sky suddenly rushed into the room, making the Colonel almost unable to open his eyes.
"Principal, you..."
"Elichar is completely in chaos. It is no point for us to persist here... No, or, everything we did since the beginning of the coup was meaningless." Marshal Menthus said, stepping onto the windowsill.
"You, principal, you can't do this! What should we do if you leave?"
"If you want to do whatever you want, do what you want. Whether you escape, surrender, or resist stubbornly, you can decide for yourself. Also, don't show this expression. If I want to commit suicide, I won't choose to jump into the sea. I'm going to rush back to Elatichal and be with my family. That's it." After leaving these words, Marshal Menthus had already jumped down from the windowsill.
When his adjutant ran to the windowsill, of course he would not see a suicide who fell into the sea of clouds, but he only saw the marshal riding on the elemental bird of light, which had already flew out of the fortress and headed towards Elichar. Although the army outside surrounded Olahelan, the legendary wizard who had used this brilliant artifact of the palm was helpless. Of course, they were not actually ready to stop it.
"So, he abandoned us like this..." Colonel Ymir stared blankly at the commander and waved his hand and disappeared into the sky without taking away a cloud. For a moment, he was like a little woman who finally discovered that men were all big pig's hooves. She was at a loss and didn't even have time to resent, and was about to be overwhelmed by the upcoming reality.
Speaking of Elichar, Mr. Taran, who was famous for firing the first shot of the uprising in later history, really lived up to his name as the "King of the Gray Worm Lane", and his appeal among the poor is really not enough. In the past few days, he has mobilized many people in private. So, when three "red meteors" cut through the long sky, more than two thousand young and strong people were uprising at the same time. He almost went through any battle, and he disarmed hundreds of guards.
Only then did everyone realize that the "dog-legged" who usually rides on their heads and acts as a mighty person, but if they move really, they are no more capable than the "cockroaches that cannot die in the gutter".
The people of the uprising also had some decent weapons in their hands. Some even excitedly expressed their desire to attack the armory or nearby military police stations, but Taran was not lost in his mind and persuaded everyone. He led the people of the uprising to the south from Dongcheng District to bypass the main road with heavy military troops, heading south, shouting loudly, "Open the city gate to welcome King Lu! King Lu will not pay food when he comes!"
More and more people joined their team, not only the poor, but also a considerable number of citizens and even intellectuals. When the large army left Dongcheng District, the total number had exceeded 10,000. Taran divided his troops at this time, heading towards the warehouse area, and rushed along the Talong Bridge into the agricultural area of the South Island.
At this time, the battle between the rebel army and the "government army" was truly launched.
It is naturally impossible to touch a tightly guarded military warehouse, but the warehouses under the supervision of the noble private soldiers and the wealthy merchants can be touched hard and touched hard. If they are damaged, they will be considered a victory.
As for the agricultural areas on the South Island, to put it bluntly, they are all special supply production sites for the men. Obviously, most of the food in the country cannot be produced by themselves, and even the salty fish in Elichar has to rely on imports, but there is a large island above the capital to herd sheep and cattle. In addition to the high-quality feed, special people often have to queue up to massage and play music to these livestock. It is said that only in this way can the best meat quality be guaranteed. As for whether it is true, the people have never eaten it before, and now they have the chance to give it a try.
Since it is a special supply for the magicians, since these beasts can fully increase the living expenses of 90% of the citizens, and since they live more like high-quality "people" than most people, they must be delicious, right?
Since they are already "eat and drink her mother", there is nothing to be afraid of.
Facts have proved that people have endless resentment towards food. The uprising citizens who have been barely able to maintain half-full for many days have burst out with unprecedented courage. After paying the price of 100 casualties, they finally broke down the outpost of the Talong Bridge.
Dear men, there are more than 300 Antis black cows and thousands of red rock sheep here, but more than half of them were cut down by the rebels within ten minutes. Look at the ruthlessness, the citizens have a lot of resentment towards these beasts who live better than themselves.
On the other hand, the uprising soldiers quickly captured the civil warehouse area. Those dog-legged men who have been acting arrogant and arrogant than the men naturally cannot end up in a good way. The situation is much more miserable than those guards who surrender and hand over their weapons to avoid death.
As expected, there was indeed a considerable amount of food and various daily necessities in the warehouse, which were clearly the nobles and wealthy merchants colluded to make money in the national crisis. Taran ordered them to be pulled directly to the streets and allowed ordinary citizens to come and use them.
It was not until this time that the bigwigs of the State of Emergency Committee finally reacted.
"Why, rebelled?" Turner Verander Bart was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then said in an unbelievable tone: "Aren't the rebel soldiers sneaking into the city?"
Turner Verambart could never believe that the head of the head of the Ofa family, the clan faction that ruled the Federation for hundreds of years, and the current "legal head of the Federation", the group of dog-like untouchables really dared to rise up and resist.
For more than five hundred years, have you been crawling under our majesty? Haven’t you always regarded us as the incarnation of gods? Haven’t you been just begging for a few bones to survive in lingeringly?
It’s been five hundred years. Haven’t everyone been peaceful all the time? Why do they still resist at this time?
"This is impossible! Can those untouchables, even if there are more than a thousand people, be able to deal with a spellcaster who has just left school? Why should they rebel?" Turner Verambath shouted.
"But in fact it has happened." Brigadier General Kamensk who came to report said: "General Dandy Lain has promised that he will suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and restore stability here. However, this incident is by no means an isolated incident. The rebels will indeed infiltrate the city of Elichar. For safety reasons, I also ask the Chairman to go to the Blue Palace to preside over the overall situation. I will personally take charge of the guard along the way."
"I understand, I understand." Turner Veramba nodded. As soon as he was about to go out, he thought of something. He called his most trusted retainer and housekeeper over and whispered: "You... you bring a few reliable guards and escort Duyd to the port first."
The butler wanted to say that even if he went, it would be difficult to escape. Maybe the "rebels" fleet was already at the city and would soon block all routes. However, as a retainer who served the Violet family for three generations, he finally sighed heavily, nodded with difficulty, and looked sad.
When the master and servant were about to stage a gay love scene of separation and death, another military police trotted into the house and whispered a few words to Kamensko, and the latter's expression suddenly became ugly.
"What's wrong?" Verambath asked.
"...You guessed everything. The rebels on Dugu Fort have opened the city to attack, and our army is retreating. And a considerable magical war has also occurred in the Academy, Southern Cross, and Jaimein. It should be the magicians who infiltrated the enemy. But it doesn't matter. The military police have the confidence to protect your safety and must be the confidence to restore the peace of Elaschar."
I don't even have confidence in what kind of family you have? Turner thought. This situation is clearly a fire everywhere and you lose sight of one thing? And, even if you really force yourself to control the situation, what if that kid's army comes?
The head of the Violet Family was silent for a few seconds, but instead calmed down. He seemed to have some enlightenment and said calmly: "Then, Brigadier General, let's go on the road."
