Chapter 112: White Terror (Please subscribe, please vote)
The Marquis family castle outside Oakland.
This is a castle built on a cliff. Although the cliff is not high, it is already the highest point in this area.
Looking down from above, you also have a feeling of being high above.
Although this place is not as prosperous as Oakland, it is a symbol of power and the glory of the Marquez family.
For countless years, the head of the Marquis family has been in this castle, handling various trivial matters.
Until today, everything seems to be crumbling.
Inside the castle, in the study.
The hexagram formation was activated, magical light shone, and a portal appeared.
Baron Marquis stumbled out, along with a transcendent knight who was guarding him and a gray mist assassin.
This gray fog assassin should be the one who destroyed the demon altar. He was seriously injured and one of his legs was missing. The broken leg was uneven, bleeding, and with exposed bones.
However, Chaofan had extraordinary cards, so he jumped on one leg and actually escaped.
In fact, to be honest, they were lucky, because after deceiving Dorji, Baron Marquez immediately hid back.
He is a baron and is so old, but he has no intention of fighting on the front line.
It was this action that saved his life. When the magic fireworks exploded, he had already left the battlefield area.
Only then did he have time to activate the teleportation scroll he carried with him when the artillery fire was overwhelming.
However, even though he escaped, he was now in a state of madness and even a little bit unbelievable.
"Impossible, impossible, how dare Doyle Guitar? How dare he?"
"This is in the city, in the downtown area, and he actually dared to use artillery to bombard it directly. How can he explain this to the Empire? How can he explain this to His Majesty the Emperor?"
"He, how could he do this?"
This person had obviously completely lost his composure and was roaring hysterically, unable to accept his own failure.
However, in this world, misfortunes never come alone!
Then the housekeeper rushed in, shouting as he ran: "Master, master, it's bad, there are police officers at the door, they say, they say, they say..."
"What did they say?"
"They say the Marquis family is colluding with demons and intends to massacre humanity. They want to arrest you for crimes against humanity."
Crimes against humanity, also known as treason, are as serious as treason, and it is also collusion with the devil of the abyss?
Even though Baron Marquis was used to the nobles' deceit, lies, and distortion of right and wrong, he was still amused by the accusation!
Just when he was about to say something, a loud voice rang out: "Baron Marquis, I know you are in there.
Now, listen to my command, lay down your weapons, and surrender without killing! "
Marquis was very familiar with this voice. It was the commander-in-chief of the city guards and the tribune of Oakland City. He only got to this position with the help of his Marquis family.
Now, he actually dares to come here and make a fuss?
Baron Marquis straightened his body, smoothed his hair, restored his aristocratic demeanor, and prepared to step out and have a good argument with him.
However, before he could take a few steps, he heard the voice again: "What? You, you dare to resist arrest?"
"You are flouting the laws of the Empire and disregarding the rights of the City Guards. You, you will be met with a resolute blow from the Empire!"
"Retreat, retreat! Everyone, retreat!"
Just as he finished speaking these incoherent words, he saw a group of city guards running away again. Before Baron Marquis could react, the guardian knight next to him changed his expression drastically.
Boom boom boom boom!
The sound of artillery fire was heard, and amid the roar, the castle walls suffered a huge impact, with earth and rocks flying and shaking.
One of the sides was trembling and about to fall down!
Of course, this castle is worthy of being the base camp of the Marquis family for many years. After being attacked, magical lights actually lit up and eventually enveloped the entire castle.
Looking closely, it was coming from the fountain inside the castle.
At this time, streams of colorful water rose into the sky and splashed down like a water curtain, forming a super-large defensive force field.
The shells landed on the colorful water curtain, exploding into bursts of fire. The entire castle trembled under the violent impact.
This super-large magic defense force field is obviously not an ordinary item, and it is worthy of the reputation of the entire Baron family.
But under the continuous bombardment, it is still crumbling.
Baron Marquis looked ashen as he saw the scene before him. He knew that this meant that he was not going to be allowed to live, and there was no intention to leave the Marquis family with even a chance to continue.
The extraordinary guardian knight immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, let me escort you away."
"Leave? No, I can't leave! Go away, hide your identity from now on, don't mention the name Marquez again, and live a good life!"
Having said this, Baron Marquis stumbled out of the study and headed towards the castle gate!
That back figure was desolate and hunched.
The guardian knight's face looked grim, but in the end, he raised his sword, put up his fighting spirit defense, stepped out and chased after him.
A knight should be a knight with honor. You can say he is pedantic, but he is absolutely loyal!
As for the gray fog man with a broken leg, he had disappeared long ago.
…
That night, the Oakland City Guard received a tip-off from an enthusiast that Baron Marquis was holding a demon summoning ceremony and using it to besiege the Executive Hall.
This is a provocation to the empire!
So, the city guards asked the Empire's Seventh Mixed Legion for help.
The magic cannon bombarded for two hours, completely reducing the Marquis family castle to ruins.
…
19 Lombard Street, second floor, in the study.
Luo Yi sat down on the chair and let out a long breath. He seemed to have lost all the energy and his shoulders slumped.
That night, whether actively or passively, he had a clear understanding of his own combat power.
He believed that after this night, few people would dare to jump around in front of him.
Because there was a window in front of him, and outside the window, two wooden stakes stood in front of the door, with a corpse hanging on each side.
Those were the corpses of two extraordinary people. Although it was unsightly to see them there, it was enough to scare anyone.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Luo Yi, without missing a beat, spoke up: "Teacher Oliveira, is everything arranged?"
"It's settled!"
"That's good!"
At this moment, his gaze moved upwards and looked at the eastern sky again.
There, the darkest moment had passed, and a hint of dawn had appeared.
This night is long enough!
But the night will always pass and the sun will rise as usual!
…
The day finally dawned, but what happened that night was not so easy to calm down.
The Executive Hall was gone, the Marquis family castle was gone, and the city of Oakland was in a state of anarchy for several days.
But, it's very quiet!
It’s really quiet!
The song and dance troupe stopped all performances, the nobles' banquets were cancelled, and the Philante School of Magic chose to close the school. All students had to stay in the school and were not allowed to go out.
Except for those shops selling food, which were forced to open, the others basically chose to close.
Even if there were pedestrians on the street, they all had their heads down and were in a hurry, not daring to stop for too long.
The most common and numerous ones are probably the city guards of Oakland. Behind them are often soldiers of the Seventh Mixed Corps carrying guns.
At this moment, no one mentioned the difficulties of the Divine Grace Festival anymore. No one even dared to mention this incident!
Roy stayed at home for a few days, and neither he nor Oliveira chose to go out.
There was no way out. The side effects of the God's Sigh and Giant Beast's Heartbeat began to erupt in full force. They now looked powerless, let alone maintaining their combat effectiveness.
They were also recuperating their bodies, using various secret medicines, magic potions, and medicinal baths every day to gradually restore their dried-up fighting spirit and also to heal the hidden injuries in their bodies.
As for supplies and food, almost all of them were sent by Ang.
Every morning, he would go to the Ancient Mage Tower first, and then come here to deliver enough potions, snake meat and bread for the day.
As for Mrs. Cassidy, she was sent to Provence Manor by Roy before the war. The old lady was still in good health, but they did not dare to let her live at home.
Roy was a little uncomfortable with the daily bread and barbecue, no soup, no tea, and no snacks.
As expected, it is always easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
After two days of this situation, the city of Auckland became chaotic again.
Many city guards led armed soldiers into every house to search.
They said they wanted to capture the remnants of those who were colluding with the devil, but they couldn't say who they were.
Anyway, they wanted to eliminate all possible dangers, and the result was that anyone they disliked was arrested.
In this world, there is no such thing as the military and civilians being one family. The army and the city guards are both violent organizations.
They might even arrest you for taking a second look.
If Luo Yi were asked to describe this situation, there would only be four words that come to his mind - white terror!
However, few people dared to act recklessly at 19 Lombard Street, as the corpses of the two extraordinary beings were still intimidating enough.
Moreover, the captain of the police station in this neighborhood is a man named Weiner. He knows how powerful he is and would never dare to offend Loy.
This situation lasted for more than ten days until April 25, 311 of the New Divine Calendar, when an order from the Empire was delivered.
The arrival of the new governor of Oakland finally brought some changes to this depressing life.
However, what Roy did not expect was that the successor to the consul this time was Miller Petrovich.
To be precise, it should be Baron Miller Petrovich.
One move can lead to success or failure!
