Chapter seven hundred and sixteenth imperial city chaos
Chapter 716: Battle in the Imperial City
The lively money-sharing meeting ended soon.
Don't look at the huge amount of dividends this time and the detailed accounts. If you look carefully at every soldier, there are tens of thousands of accounts to be settled.
Under the auspices of Chairman Leo, nothing is a problem.
All dividends were quickly distributed to every soldier.
When these soldiers have money in their hands, the first way they think of to celebrate is to drink and have a good time.
There are obvious hierarchies in the Guards. Officers have places where officers like to go, and soldiers have places where soldiers like to go.
Officers will usually find a place with an elegant environment, or a high-end brothel or something, but soldiers are not so particular and prefer roadside stalls that they are familiar with.
They loudly called for friends, all patted their chests, grabbed their friends, and shouted loudly, "I'll treat, I'll treat." They showed off their faces as wealthy men, and then walked out of the guardhouse in groups.
, chatting and laughing loudly and went straight to his favorite tavern.
As soon as these soldiers entered the door, they shouted loudly: "Boss, please bring good wine and good food. Bring some two-foot lobsters. Now that you are rich, let's get married now~"
Then, under the envious and surprised gazes of everyone, the tiger's body shook, showing the domineering power of a nouveau riche king, slowly walked over, and then lined up the gold coins in his hands on the counter one by one. Let those shining gold coins shine.
The eyes of those ordinary people.
Let them know that the usual nonsense about ‘a good man can’t be a soldier, or a good man can’t nail nails’ is all bullshit~!
If I become a soldier, I will still have money and a future~~!
These soldiers and gangsters were really poor in the past, and sometimes they would drink on credit when they went out to drink. Now they all come out, and they all want to spend money desperately to take revenge for the days when they had no money.
What does returning home in glory mean? It’s just to show off in front of those brats who looked down on you in the past, so that you can regret that you were blind and underestimated your uncle.
Then he will despise them severely and repay them for all they have suffered in the past.
Under the guidance of this idea, the tavern near the guardhouse was full in a short period of time.
And they are all very generous, ordering two plates of peanuts, one plate and then another, and ordering a table of cooked meats, such as roasted chicken legs, roasted chicken wings, and less chicken breasts.
Although there are many small bars around the military camp, and they originally serve the soldiers here, they cannot handle so many evil wolves all rushing out at once, and they cannot accommodate tens of thousands of customers.
The small hotels nearby were full in an instant, and they were so crowded that they couldn't fit in any more people.
The soldiers who came late had to run further, but then they found that the tavern was full. No matter where the tavern was, as soon as they entered the door, they saw that it was full of soldiers, waving gold coins in their hands.
Act as a rich person there and spend a lot of money.
Those behind had to run further and further away.
In the end, there were soldiers from the First Division of the Guards in almost every tavern in Arkadelin.
These bastards all held bright yellow gold coins and tried their best to pretend to be masters. They stood out with their chests high, their necks raised and their heads held high. They looked majestic. They even spoke three points higher than usual.
They clamored to "get the best" because they were afraid that the money would not be spent.
This situation made other soldiers and officers of the Guards Division look at it. They couldn't help but feel angry and jealous. They were envious, jealous, and resentful at the same time. It was a pity that they didn't have a well-connected squadron leader. There was nothing they could do to hate.
Maybe in private, I secretly cursed twice: A bunch of dead nouveau riche~!
Then, with a smile and a shy face, he walked over and asked these soldiers: How can I buy shares? Let me make a little money.
The tavern owners also followed suit and made huge profits. They were busy without touching the ground.
No matter whether it is old wine that has been stored for many years and is about to turn into vinegar, or new wine that has just been brewed without even filtering the dregs. As soon as it is served, it will be swept away by those soldiers and gangsters, without even asking the price.
The bosses were so tired that they couldn't even add water to the wine.
Moreover, the soldiers opened their arms and ate the whole kitchen inside the shop.
When these profiteers saw that their business was so prosperous, they were so happy that their teeth were exposed. This night had been going on for a week. They thought that no matter what happened this night, they would make a lot of money.
but……
But they were overjoyed.
You know, the favorite thing for drunk soldiers to do is to fight, especially when there are other customers in the tavern.
The soldiers were noisy and spent money readily, which of course made those petty and petty people who were annoying little people feel very unhappy.
That night became Akadelin's sleepless night.
The drunken soldiers got into a fight with the guests in the pub because of the order of going to the toilet. They immediately lit the fuse.
As if on command, the first scream sounded.
The bar suddenly became a mess.
Cups and plates were flying, tables and chairs were rolling around, roars, screams, and screams were heard at the same time, and it was very lively for a while.
Teams fought with each other, then joined forces to fight with soldiers from other teams, and then together they beat up other guests.
Those who were timid in the tavern would happily slap their butts as soon as the war broke out, and run away quickly without even paying the bill.
However, the gangsters who had collected the tavern's protection fees stepped forward and launched a heroic struggle against the soldiers who were wreaking havoc inside the tavern.
The two sides fought for a while.
Although those gangsters were brave, they were dealing with ordinary people. They were no match for those professional soldiers. They were immediately beaten to the point of crying and howling, and they couldn't even hold on for three minutes.
But they were not vegetarians, so they immediately called for reinforcements. After getting the news, a large number of gangsters rushed over.
Seeing those soldiers beating their younger brother, the gangsters were filled with indignation and immediately rushed forward.
There were so many gangsters that the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. The soldiers were retreating steadily and were blocked in the hotel, but they were not helpless.
Someone climbed to the roof and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Guards, come and help. We were beaten by a gang of gangsters..."
The pubs on each street are not far away.
Hearing the cry for help, the soldiers who were drunk and had no place to vent their blood boiled with passion. Like angry dogs, they rushed out howling "Aoao". Their morale was now at its peak, and they were like the King of Heaven.
Even if he comes, he still dares to fight.
More and more Imperial Guards dared to come for reinforcements, and the two groups started fighting on the street.
After receiving the news, the city defense patrols responsible for public security did not dare to be vague and rushed to the scene quickly.
When they saw the situation, they were immediately overjoyed.
Just a few days ago, the news that the Imperial Guards destroyed their place had spread throughout the imperial city, and now they finally had the opportunity to take revenge openly.
"Brothers, come on~!" the inspector roared angrily, and rushed in at the lead with great courage.
The rest of the patrolling city guards immediately did not dare to neglect, and they all rushed over.
They didn't have a good impression of those gangsters or the Guards soldiers. Therefore, no matter who they were, they all beat them with sticks.
Later it turned out that that was an extremely wrong decision.
The guards and the gangsters were having a good time fighting. They had long forgotten the reason for the fight. Now they were fighting for the sake of fighting. To put it simply, they were having fun...
Suddenly they found someone coming to interfere with them, and they immediately became furious. All the old and new hatreds came to their hearts for a while, and then they shouted angrily: "I have tolerated you for a long time."
Then he pounced on him and beat the inspectors together.
The reputation of the Praetorian Guard as the strongest Semitic army was certainly not blown out of proportion. They fought one against two, and even beat those little brats to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers. They kept wailing and screaming.
The patrols couldn't resist and retreated one after another. As they retreated, they shouted loudly: "Blow the whistle, call for reinforcements, call for reinforcements..."
Such a large-scale gang fight would naturally be reported, and inspectors from other areas also rushed over in full gear.
But even if reinforcements came and were thrown into this chaos, they were immediately involved. It would not have any effect at all.
Everyone is mixed together, and the guards and gangsters can work together to take down a patrol, and then fight together again immediately.
The scene was like a war.
While the inspectors were struggling, the Royal Guards Gendarmerie with silver logos finally arrived at the scene.
The inspectors had never thought that they would be so happy to see the gendarmerie. They had always been hostile to each other before.
At this moment, they seemed to have seen a savior, shouting loudly and loudly: "Come and take care of your people. Come quickly."
What I didn't expect was that the Royal Guards Gendarmerie pointed their fingers at the patrol and shouted: "Beat her~!"
Then he rushed up and beat the patrol team happily.
They were also on vacation, and everyone drank a lot. When they heard that there was chaos here, they rushed over without even changing their clothes to help their brothers.
That night the whole of Arkadelin was in chaos. After receiving the news, the city guards all mobilized and rallied.
They blocked the block with complete strength superiority, and then the soldiers holding rattan shields and wearing heavy armor lined up in a human wall and gradually advanced.
Dozens of high-pressure water trucks were pulled from behind and sprayed with water cannons at the rioting ruffians. Only then did the soldiers and ruffians disperse.
But when the gourd was pressed, the gourd rose again, and the people here had just been dispersed. The people who had escaped met on another street, their eyes widened, and they started fighting again, and then they started to invite friends again, and soon they would be together.
A large group gathered again and the fight started again.
The city guards immediately ran to another street to suppress them.
Then again and again, just like the Praetorian Guards playing hide-and-seek with them in the city of Arkadelin.
The tired City Guards ruffians had their tongues hanging out.
The quarrel lasted until dawn, and all the energy of the ruffians of the Imperial Guard was almost exhausted. These bastards felt that they were getting drunk and it was time to go to bed. Then they dispersed, retreated one after another, and went home to rest contentedly.
It was not until dawn that everyone discovered that the street was in a mess.
Countless store signs were torn down and smashed.
Tables, chairs, benches, fruits and vegetables, wine jars and bowls, rotten eggs and other messy things were scattered all over the floor.
Even the stones paved on the street were dug out by the ruffians, used as throwing weapons, and thrown out.
Only the owners of the taverns were left sitting at the entrance of their stores with blank eyes, as if they were the daughters of bandits and the wealthy landlords. They stared blankly at the sky and kept muttering: "No more."
, it’s all gone…”
The miserable situation was like being ravaged by a group of Tyrannosaurus rex.
The commander of the city guard was furious at the tragic situation in his jurisdiction, and a team of complainants even blocked the door of his office.
The commander of the city guard angrily went to see the commander-in-chief that morning and severely sued the imperial guard.
The commander-in-chief was very surprised by the unorganized and undisciplined behavior of the Guards. Even though he looked at his brand new BMW luxury carriage, he still felt a little excited.
He immediately called Admiral Hawks of the Guards to him, and then cursed him like a dog, and finally said: "For the sake of the military exercise that is about to start, I will kill those bastards."
They were all locked up and sentenced to thirty years.
Now get back here and take good care of those bastards under your command~! Next time you fight, remember to take off your military uniform and cover your face~! Next time someone catches you, just jump into the river yourself."
Admiral Hawks was so angry that his eyes were blazing, and he was cursing in his heart: Damn it, this bunch of dead soldiers will make you shine even if you give them a little sunshine.
If you can't take care of one of them, they will dare to poke holes in you. These despicable brats really need to be dealt with.
He returned to the Praetorian Guard headquarters angrily and scolded Thors again word for word.
Thors was also scolded so badly, but he didn't dare to speak out. He just thought to himself: This is not all your orders. Why should I be blamed?
But he can only bear the blame.
Thors was furious at being scolded. After returning to the guardhouse, he summoned all the officers and scolded them again according to the admiral's exact words.
He looked at those subordinates winking at each other, not ashamed, but proud. It was obvious that these bastards did not take his words to heart, but no matter what, after scolding him, he also
I feel that my mood is much better.
When the chaos began, everything was quiet inside a luxurious manor in the northeast corner of the Imperial City of Akadrin.
In the Imperial City of Arkadelin, the price of land is also extremely high. It is no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is valuable. Unless it is passed down from ancestors, it would be hard for most people to buy a small house in Arkadelin.
You can't do a job in two lifetimes.
But in this place, there is such a luxurious manor that occupies a huge area. Even many great nobles are not so grand. This is Arkadelin, and the most powerful people in the entire Semitic tribe gather here.
Such a large manor cannot be achieved only with money.
This also fully demonstrates from another aspect that the identity of the owner here is by no means ordinary.
Right above the front door of the manor, there was a pure gold heraldic sign, hanging there majestically.
The big gorse reflected the golden light under the light of the torch.
Although that huge pure gold coat of arms was despised by many nobles in the imperial city, in private they all looked down upon them: a bunch of dead nouveau riche~!
But it is undeniable that when you look at that huge coat of arms, you will know whose property this is!
The nobles looked down on this nouveau riche, but they had to be polite to this nouveau riche customer.
When the ancestor of the Plantagenet family first came here, the family property was only the size of three houses. However, he used various means and speculation to accumulate a large amount of wealth. Later, he also expanded his own
industry.
Among them, there were several families who did not want to sell their property, but later, some of their houses caught fire for no reason, while others strangely owed loan sharks. Some even got drunk and
Drunk to death in a ditch.
Since then, the Plantagenet family's land acquisition has become extremely smooth. As long as it is the land they say they want to buy, the owner of the land will willingly and quickly give the land to them even if they lose money.
The Plantagenet family started with a few people and a few sampans. After several generations of hard work and years of hard work, it finally reached its current scale.
Now someone wants to jump out and take this industry away from their hands. Of course, they can't wait for death. However, this family has been enjoying themselves on the inheritance of their ancestors in recent decades and has not experienced any big storms.
…
"My lord, my lord..." a voice sounded softly.
The old man sitting in the main seat suddenly woke up from his thoughts.
He raised his head and looked at both sides of the long conference table.
The two sides were filled with children of the family, filling the entire conference room. These are still close branches, and there are many separated families that will not appear here. Compared with the ancestors, they have grown and fallen, and the population is not as high as before.
Less.
He composed himself, and then said in a deep voice: "I have already told you what happened. We have lost face, and there is an additional competitor in our business. The other party is obviously trying to squeeze our business. Let's talk about it.
manage?"
"If you dare to steal business from us, kill him~! Kill them~! Kill one policeman and a hundred~!" someone next to him said flatly.
That is Ryan, the youngest and most energetic young man in the family. He has a wide nose and a long hair like a lion's mane. His eyes always shine with a cruel light. Moreover, he always thinks of himself as a lion and even raises two of his own.
A lion.
After listening to his words, someone burst into laughter in the darkness.
Ryan was immediately furious, pounded the table, and shouted angrily: "Fix, why are you laughing?"
The young man behind said lazily: "You are really an idiot. Besides killing people, do you have anything else in your mind? I really doubt that it's all muscle."
When you kill people, have you ever thought about who they represent?
The military, a powerful military force, will always be one of the most powerful forces in Akadelin.
In our family today, there are so many people who want to eat us alive. They are worried that they can’t find an excuse to deal with us. If you dare to kill one of them, they will dare to come and attack our entire family~! What, my dear
Cousin Ryan, do you think you can kill the army?"
Ryan sneered and said: "Are you too smart to be stupid? Military, so what? I admit that they are indeed powerful. But when we kill people, do we have to leave evidence for them so that they can find our heads?
?”
Fix, however, refused to give in and said: "Do they need evidence? As long as someone is killed, whether we killed it or not, they will take the opportunity to pour their anger on our heads. All they need is one
Opportunity, and you want to give this opportunity to them.
In the past, the army was scattered and could be checked and balanced by civil servants. They were not that powerful. But now, they are all gathered together by shining gold coins, like a monster like the legendary three-headed hell dog. You all
Dare to kill people, why can't the military dare to kill people for gold coins?
I dare to say this, no matter whether they are demons or gods, they will devour anyone who dares to stand in their way~!"
Everyone else was silent, quietly listening to the argument between the two most talented young people in the family. No one said a word, no one made a sound.
The old man in the middle coughed slightly and said: "We still have the strength in our hands and can put pressure on them through the Ministry of Justice."
But Fix sighed and said: "Sir, please wake up. Our family has been monopolizing the smuggling line for so many years, and we are so fat. Many people's eyes are bleeding when they look at it, but they just can't find the opportunity."
.
The prosecutor, Uncle Andrews, was also detained by the gang of soldiers, but did anyone fart?
No~!
If nothing else, in the Inspection Department, the people above Uncle Andrews breathed a sigh of relief when they found that there was one less threat. The people below him were also secretly happy to be able to take a step forward and be promoted one level.
No one really worries about us, let alone others~!
I've said before that we shouldn't just think about monopolizing a line and pricing it as we please. Selling something will kill people. But has anyone heard of it?
Those people found out that the goods sold by those soldiers were cheap, and they knew that we had screwed them. Although they didn't say anything, they were all upset. Some even hinted that they wanted us to use the extra money we made before.
Spit it all out.
It’s enough if they don’t step on us. But we still expect them to help us?”
The old man couldn't help but blush, coughed slightly, and said: "What did he do in the past? Let's just talk about the present. What should we do now?"
Fix sighed and said: "Our Plantagenet family has been prosperous for several generations, and we have saved a lot of money. It's time for everyone to take this opportunity to switch to a serious business. Although the income is less, it is safe.
"
After hearing his words, many people present snorted coldly.
Someone sneered and said: "Zhengxing? How much money can Zhengxing make? None of us have a big family and a big business. If we are Zhengxing, how will we live in the future? Are you going to pay to support the mistresses in my family?"
After hearing this, Fix sneered and said: "Don't be dissatisfied. When the knife is placed on your neck, no matter how much money you have, it will be of no use. We can fight against several soldiers, several commanders, and even
A few admirals, but we can't defeat the entire military hierarchy.
Damn it, what did they think, what kind of joint-stock system they created~! Every soldier and gangster participated in it.
If we interfere with their business, we will be working against the entire legion."
After talking about it, he couldn't help but curse again.
Ryan sneered and said, "A coward without a talent."
Fix was immediately furious and slapped the table as he was about to speak.
The old man coughed slightly at this time and said: "Fix, you take them too seriously. I don't think it is that serious. We have many means to deal with them. Even if we can't directly assassinate their leader,
But killing a few minions shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Besides, they are about to start military exercises. By then, we can make arrangements calmly. I have experienced many storms over the years, and this should be no different from the previous ones. "
Seeing that Fix was still going to speak, he immediately stretched out his hand to block it, and then said decisively: "That's it. We must not give up, otherwise the Plantagenet family will be looked down upon in the future.
A nobleman without honor is not a nobleman at all."
