Chapter 382: Total War (Subscription Request)
Sara City, East District, Slums.
A worker who had just got off work was walking on the road. He was wearing a special blue and white suit, smelling of sweat, and his face was full of fatigue.
He walked along the street, his steps a little unsteady, but he still ordered some food at a roadside stall.
After eating the bread and bacon, plus a cup of strong coffee, his complexion finally looked much better.
There are really a lot of people like this here. Although Sara City is not the core of the empire, there are still some factories.
However, no one noticed that when he was eating, he seemed to feel something and couldn't help but look up.
The direction he was looking at was the South City District!
But the next second, he lowered his head again, his expression extremely ugly, his eyes flickered a few times, and he made a decision.
He stuffed the food into his mouth in a few gulps and drank the coffee. Then he counted out a few copper coins and went into an alley.
When he walked out of another alley, he was no longer a worker, but a young girl with freckles all over her face.
He was wearing a turban, coarse cloth clothes that had been patched many times, and a basket in his hand. He looked timid and seemed very scared.
His walking posture became much lighter, no longer with the long strides of a man, but with the tiptoeing and skipping of a girl.
He walked along the street towards the city gate, like a girl who had bought something and was about to go home.
Not long after he left, there were more people here.
Some of them wore armor, some carried swords, some carried bows and quivers, and some led dogs, sniffing around everywhere...
Normally, they should be very conspicuous with this kind of attire, but in reality, passers-by seemed to ignore their existence.
Looking closely, one can see that they are surrounded by a strange magical power that unconsciously affects the people around them.
This wasn't some kind of invisibility magic, but it simply blocked the thinking of these mortals, causing them to instinctively ignore it.
Of course, since they ignored it, there was no one in front of them, so they walked back and forth in a straight line and didn't know how to avoid.
But these people were extremely agile, and they avoided the collision by crossing their steps.
Finally, they stopped in front of a roadside stall.
One of them was dressed as a wizard, holding an exquisite compass in his hand. There were layers of intricate magic patterns on it, and it emitted a faint light as the magic power was injected into it.
At this point, the compass needle began to spin wildly, as if it was having a seizure.
At this moment, the mage started cursing, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, I lost more, lost more!"
"What kind of insane secret treasure does this Garlino have that can even cause the holy artifact and compass to malfunction time and time again? I simply, simply..."
The wizard was almost going crazy. He even raised the compass in his hand and wanted to smash it down.
But the next second, his hand was grabbed.
A man with two pistols on his waist and a rapier on his back stopped him. When their eyes met, the man said seriously, "If I were you, I would control my temper and cast the spell quickly!
We can still shirk responsibility if we don't catch the person, but if we lose the pursuit, we will definitely be punished when we return!"
"You should know more about the methods used in the black prison than I do. Which one are you going to use?"
The wizard seemed to have thought of something, his whole body trembled, and when he looked up and looked at the people around him, he immediately calmed down.
"Everyone, I'm really pissed. Wait a minute, I'm going to cast a spell, I'm going to cast a spell!"
Having said this, he stood up straight, took out a bottle of potion and drank it, then closed his eyes slightly, concentrated and calmed his mind, and recovered for a moment.
As a fourth-level mage, his strength has never been weak, and his magic power is particularly abundant.
But the sleepless pursuit was too exhausting for him, so much so that now when he cast a spell, he had to use potions to recover and he had to think for a while to calm down.
To be honest, this was something he had never dared to think about before, but in this mission, he really saw how difficult that person was.
A mysterious spell mixed with dragon language and celestial language sounded, with a unique oral resonance, and the sound it made was indeed a bit strange.
But as he chanted, the magic power vibrated in all directions, and in this small area, time seemed to go back.
Countless people were either walking backwards or stopping, their figures were intertwined, and their voices were speaking in the opposite direction, which looked extremely strange.
Until everything focused on the blue and white worker who raised his head and looked towards the south area, and then it stopped completely.
It was as if the pause button was pressed, the world froze, and only the people around were staring at the figure of the worker.
Each and every one of them is filled with murderous intent!
If before, they were just doing it for the mission, or had some thoughts of revenge for the crown prince, now, they really want to kill him as soon as possible.
It's not just the mage who is tired, all of them are working day and night.
When the spell ended, the wizard raised his hand and waved it, and the illusory figure seemed to be pulled out of the frozen picture and fell into the pointing compass again.
Then, the compass needle, which had been spinning wildly, stopped and pointed in the direction of leaving the city.
The next second, the captive hunting dog rushed out at a very fast speed.
Afterwards, a group of people followed immediately.
Even the wizard, panting, cast a few more spells on himself and chased after him all the way.
Going back in time, using the holy artifact, the pointing compass, they can directly lock onto the soul. This is why they can always track it.
Other means of tracking, such as breath and appearance, have long been ineffective!
But even with this method, as long as the other party changes his skin, you have to start over again.
At this time, outside the city, in a dense forest.
The girl put down the flower basket, suddenly stretched out a hand, and directly hit herself in the face.
His movements were so ferocious that it felt like he was going to poke himself blind, but in fact, his face was distorted as if he had really grabbed something.
Then, he pulled it out with all his might!
At this moment, he let out a low roar, pain surged like a tide, and countless noisy voices in his mind made it unbearable for him.
But he still pulled firmly until the attachment was pulled out, revealing the face of Gary Mills. Then he knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
His face was covered in sweat, and his eyes showed relief at having survived the disaster.
He was holding a wooden mask in his hand, which looked nothing special.
But who knew that the mask of the Thousand Faces Man was really powerful, much more powerful than Luo Yi thought, but also evil enough.
After just a short rest, Gary Mills seemed to sense something again. He turned around again, his pupils turned into eagle eyes, and with his super danger perception, he had discovered the pursuer again.
He shook his head with a wry smile, but the next second, he put the mask back on his face.
As he approached, his movements froze noticeably, but the image of Mrs. Linda flashed through his mind.
Luo Yi’s words seemed to still echo in my ears: Come back alive!
Finally, without hesitation, he put on the mask, dressed up as a hunter, ran forward swiftly, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Not long after he left, the Imperial Hawkdog Squad 3 caught up with him and looked at the randomly spinning compass.
This time, not only the mage, but others couldn't help but curse out loud.
There is no doubt that this is a long tug-of-war!
The Empire's purge of the Serbs never stopped, nor was it limited to the city of Sara or the headquarters of the Renaissance Front.
Instead, it was a comprehensive, indiscriminate, and even "prefer to kill the wrong person rather than let him go" purge throughout the province of Bosnia.
The turmoil in the Old World caused by this was beyond everyone's imagination.
…
On July 23, 314 of the New Divine Calendar, the Empire officially announced that the Serb Renaissance Front was a traitorous organization and the military would spare no effort to eliminate it.
On July 28, 314 of the New Divine Calendar, the Imperial Army dispatched the Second and Fourth Imperial Legions, totaling 20,000 men, to formally enter the Bosnian Province.
An almost unreasonable purge began!
This time, the legion first captured the governor of the Bosnian province, accusing him of treason, and then completely killed almost all the nobles from top to bottom!
For the empire, this place is rotten to the core, so it is better to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely.
This purge also awakened everyone's fear of the empire.
Perhaps the empire has been very restrained in recent years in order to develop the magic industry, but the Hohenzollern family was able to unify this region by fighting their way out of a sea of blood and corpses.
The Serbs reacted quickly and asked for help from other countries.
What no one expected was that the first target of the Serb Revival Front was not the Bonaparte Empire, but the Slavic Empire in the east.
What no one expected was that the Habsburg Empire's reaction was so intense.
On August 1, 314 of the New Divine Calendar, the Habsburg Empire officially declared war on the Slavic Empire.
On August 3, 314 of the New Divine Calendar, the Habsburg Empire declared war on the Bonaparte Empire again.
Of course, the old aristocratic alliance finally responded.
Therefore, on August 4, 314 of the New Divine Calendar, the Kingdom of Sardinia officially declared war on the Habsburg Empire and began to mobilize its navy.
But on the same day, the Habsburg Empire's army officially invaded the Carolingian Kingdom and fired the first shot of the war.
At this point, in just a few days, the situation in the Old Continent has changed dramatically.
The conflicts between the countries in the Old World can no longer be suppressed, and an all-out war has officially begun!
Second update is here!
