Chapter 327 Shoot at Your Lord
Zoe gradually recovered. She had just been shocked by the scene before her. Only then did she realize why her mother-in-law sighed at that time - these cultists turned out to be the poor people she had seen in the downtown area.
Cultists, she only knew that these people were called lunatics, synonymous with danger and madness, but she never thought about where they came from, as if weeds could grow on the ground.
She clenched her teeth and trembled.
She was clearly the team leader, but Connor and Erwin had always been helping her make decisions. Perhaps this was what the lord had considered, but since she was given the title of team leader, she had to take on this responsibility.
Zoe forced herself to suppress her emotions and looked around.
Most of Castel's people stayed in the mansion, and only Zoe came to the downtown area.
Everyone only knows that the general direction is correct, but they cannot judge where it is specifically.
"This is near the barracks. It's the only place in the lower city where the order is relatively good. Several roads nearby lead to most places in the lower city."
Erwin nodded. "Is this far from the dock?"
"It's not far and on the way, but there are musketeers in the military camp ahead." Mother-in-law took over the conversation, with a hint of worry in her voice.
If there was anything in Blood Harbor that could threaten them, it was the musketeers in the barracks.
No matter how many cultists there are, they are just mortals. Their weak supernatural beings can deal with mortals, but they are no match for my mother-in-law.
But it’s different with a musket. If you’re hit by a musket bullet, you’ll die.
Whether it is a bolt-action rifle or a rifle, they are essentially just better bullet launchers. No matter how sophisticated the equipment of the Crusaders is, they cannot withstand bullets.
The muskets used by the Harbor Guards have very low accuracy, but as long as there are enough of them, accuracy is not that important.
Even the mother-in-law couldn't withstand the volley of musket fire.
For the Castell people, the most dangerous thing in Blood Harbor is not the cultists, but the harbor guards ahead.
Erwin made a few gestures to the surrounding Crusaders, and their team gradually slowed down.
"Your Highness William, we seem to have taken the wrong road! This is not the direction to the dock!"
Erwin shouted.
The prince looked back at this side, but did not slow down. He galloped towards the military camp and replied, "Then everyone wait at the gate for a moment. These are my people. I will call some guards out."
Erwin and Connor looked at each other and frowned.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with what the prince said.
The military camp did not have any walls, but a circle of wooden walls, or better yet, a tall fence.
No one could stand there at all. The firing range of the muskets was actually very close. If they just waited at the door, there would be no risk. Even if the prince went crazy and wanted to attack them, the musketeers would have enough time to gather and leave calmly.
Moreover, there are very few cultists here, and the believers of the Mother Goddess Church should also know that this place is a tough nut to crack and did not choose to surround it.
Erwin whispered a few words to her mother-in-law, and she nodded. Then her expression became a little dull, and she sat on the horse motionless.
The Crusaders dispersed slightly and occupied various intersections to be on guard.
Erwin frowned, watching the prince and others rushing towards the military camp. Why did it feel like they were...charging?
The military camp was slow to open its gates, and the soldiers on the watchtower shouted something, but the prince ignored them.
The war horses were accelerating almost all the time, and they reached the gate of the military camp a moment later. Galahad, who was in the front, stepped on the horse's back, leaped into the air with the sword in hand, and swung the huge sword towards the gate of the military camp!
The giant sword spun and split the gate that was across it. Galahad, wearing heavy armor, fell from the air and hit the door with his whole body.
A cloud of dust rose up, and the gate was blasted into the barracks, and then an iron boot stepped on it.
Connor and Erwin looked at each other in shock. Galahad's moves were definitely not something that a mortal could do. He was actually a transcendent! ?
The gate of the military camp was not a defensive fortification. After being blasted open by Galahad, the knights rushed directly in. An officer and several soldiers were standing at the gate of the camp.
The knights who rushed in killed several soldiers who blocked their way without hesitation, and then took out their muskets and shot at the officers at the door.
At such a close distance to the man’s face, even a smoothbore rifle would not miss the target. Several bloody holes appeared on the man’s body and he fell down.
This group of people rushed very fast without any pause. Before the soldiers in the barracks had time to react, they had already arrived inside.
Members of the Harbor Guard were now walking out of the houses in a daze. They heard the gunshots and came out to check.
The prince pulled off his helmet and threw it aside, his thick golden curls blowing in the wind.
"Soldiers, I am William, Grand Duke of Tis! Your leader, Rad, has rebelled!"
The soldiers around were still confused. They had only received the order to hold their ground today. Rad ordered the closure of the military camp and strictly prohibited anyone from leaving.
The soldiers did not react, but the officer who had just come out had a distorted face. The team of soldiers guarding the entrance of the barracks were naturally his own people. At this moment, they were lying on the ground covered in blood and did not stop the prince at all.
Rad's plan was perfect. He didn't need to do much. He just needed to show up later in the rebellion of the Mother Goddess of Life. The troops in the upper city area would not be able to hold on for long.
As for how the Church of the Mother Goddess of Life broke through the walls of the upper city, the port guards happened to lose a batch of equipment.
In order to prevent complications, he directly banned the soldiers from going out. The Mother Goddess Church would cooperate. There would be no cultists here. Even if the soldiers were strange, there would be no problems in a short time. In just half a day, the priests of the Mother Goddess Church could lead the believers to break through the upper city! Who would have thought that the prince would lead people to rush here when the rebellion just happened! ? Shouldn't he wait for his support! At the very least, he should observe the situation first, right?
And how did they break out of the siege of the Mother Goddess Church? Were those cultists just here to eat?
Unfortunately, the current situation did not allow him to think.
"Pick up the gun! Quick, he, he is an impostor! Kill him!" Rad screamed and pointed at the prince.
The harbor guards subconsciously raised their guns.
The prince rode on his horse, his eyes sweeping over the soldiers of the harbor guard.
He had been here many times, and the soldiers remembered his facial features, which were as sharp as those of a knife or an axe. At this moment, he roared at the soldiers:
"Shoot?! Come on! Shoot your lord!!"
The soldiers were frightened and their minds became clearer. They looked at the prince who was riding on his horse and looking down on everyone, and then looked at Rad who was pale and trembling all over, and suspicion gradually appeared on their faces.
