Chapter 643 Kimberley civilians moved
Golden Spike Star.
On the outskirts of Kimberley, in a civilian area.
There was a bang of a gunshot, and a corpse fell down with its eyes wide open and a face full of fear, and it died with its eyes open.
After a moment of silence, the illusion of peace and prosperity was shattered. Civilians screamed and began to flee in panic to the shops on both sides or the civilian areas for refuge. In the blink of an eye, no one was seen on the street.
A yellow-haired young man had no time to go into the house, so he could only hide in the corner of an alley with a pale face, shivering and not daring to make a sound.
He saw a group of well-trained soldiers wearing imperial army uniforms marching in formation from the street corner.
"Report to the commander, Earl Ode has been killed and confirmed dead."
"Oh." The leading imperial officer had a sunny and handsome face. At this moment, his expression was cold and stern. He walked with his long legs to the side of the corpse with a murderous look. He glanced at it without any emotion, then picked up the light brain and opened the report about this person.
"Ode Dulac, Earl, bullied men and women, raped decent women, and killed no fewer than a hundred people. He deserves death." He narrowed his eyes, his cold face curled slightly. "Very good, since he's been killed, there's no need for a trial. Take the body back and burn it with the others."
"Yes, sir."
The yellow-haired man covered his mouth tightly, his pupils dilated in shock.
He knew Count Oude du Lac, a man he was very familiar with.
His title in Kimberley was not high, and he was even a low-ranking noble among the nobles, and was insignificant, but he was the nightmare of countless families in the civilian area.
Their neighborhood was under the jurisdiction of the Durak family. Count Ode often came to inspect and often took advantage of the situation by eating and drinking without paying. They could tolerate all of this, but what they could not tolerate was that this man was also lustful.
He had flirted with every good-looking girl in the neighborhood. If the girls refused, he would use force to take them back, no matter how much the girls' families begged. When he got tired of playing with them, he would just give them their bodies away.
The families of several girls wanted to seek revenge, but he took the initiative to intervene, and they were either exiled or died accidentally. Therefore, many civilians could only cry in silence and dared not say a word even if their own girls were killed.
Over time, Ode became the devil that made people grit their teeth but could not get rid of it.
Now this person died so easily?
After the shock and fear, Huangmao felt ecstasy.
It’s better to die, it’s better to die, this person’s death is not a pity.
Huangmao, who was thinking of telling the good news to Grandma Wang next door who also had her granddaughter kidnapped, suddenly froze in his smile. He raised his head stiffly and met the officer's sharp and cold eyes, which made him shiver all over.
broken!
He thought to himself, these are soldiers of the empire, and he is from Kimberley, what should he do?
Wouldn't it be better to shoot him too?
Just as the yellow-haired man hugged himself tightly, sweat dripping down his forehead in fear, the handsome imperial officer glanced away and no longer paid attention to him. He was now seriously instructing his soldiers, "Seal off the street entrance. Until all the fleeing Kimberley nobles are captured, this place must be sealed off. Do not harass the civilians. If a fight breaks out, try to leave this area."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the officer led his team away, leaving only two soldiers in army green uniforms.
They took out something that looked like a green leaf and waved it. Immediately, a transparent wall of golden light rose up at the entrance of the street, completely covering most of the block.
The two of them stood guard outside the golden light.
The yellow-haired boy, who had heard their entire conversation, was not afraid at all when looking at the strange golden light. Instead, he was full of excitement.
According to the imperial officer, this golden light is protecting them.
Huangmao was so touched. At least those in power in Kimberly would never be so thoughtful, and would not care whether civilians like them would be affected by the battle.
Just like Count Ode just now, he knew that the Imperial Army was chasing him, but he still wanted to lead people to this civilian area. Fortunately, the Imperial Army was strong and shot him dead with one shot, otherwise they, the civilians, might also be involved.
So now it's the Imperial Army's turn to retake Kimberley?
Huangmao walked out from the corner with excitement in his heart and ran home quickly.
Like him, there were other civilians hiding in the surrounding shops and houses. They were either happy, surprised, or stunned for a while with strange expressions, and then they did not dare to stay any longer and hurried home.
Huangmao ran as fast as the wind and got home in a flash, but he didn't enter the empty house, but went next door.
"Grandma Wang, Grandma Wang, good news, good news, Ode is dead."
He walked in shouting happily. A silver-haired old lady who was sitting at the door with a numb expression suddenly stiffened, stood up quickly and rushed towards the yellow-haired man eagerly.
"Really? Is Ode really dead?" She asked anxiously while grabbing Huangmao's clothes with her wrinkled gray face.
Huangmao quickly supported her and said excitedly, "Yes, he is dead, really dead. I saw him beaten to death by the imperial army with my own eyes. His body has been dragged away, but his blood is still on the street."
"Great, what about my granddaughter? She's still at his house. I wonder how she's doing now?"
The old lady hurriedly staggered to find her granddaughter, but was stopped by the yellow-haired man.
"Grandma Wang, the situation outside is not right now. It seems that the Imperial Army has broken in. It's not safe for you to go out. Besides, there are two Imperial Army soldiers guarding the street entrance. We can't get out."
"What, the Imperial Army—" the old lady was frightened. "Then, will they break in?"
"Hehe, no." Huangmao grinned and comforted her, then repeated to Grandma Wang what he had just heard from the handsome officer. Grandma Wang was so moved that she burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, the Empire is still the best. A few years ago, we believed the lies of Emperor Kimberly and moved to this Golden Spike Star with them. This decision was really wrong. The nobles in Kimberly are all bastards, vicious things. My poor son and daughter-in-law were beaten to death by the nobles, and now my granddaughter has been snatched away by that evil ghost. If my daughter is gone, I, an old woman, will not live either."
Huangmao stood aside and let the old lady vent her anger. He also cursed along from time to time and agreed with what Grandma Wang said. It was a good thing that the Empire invaded. Those damn nobles in Kimberley should have died long ago.
They are happy to be citizens of the empire. As for Kimberley, it would be best if all the nobles died.
They stopped only after their voices grew hoarse from cursing. An old man and a young man sat at the door, gazing towards the direction of Kimberly Royal City, silently praying in their hearts that the empire would win.
