Chapter 540 Rebellion 8
Chapter 540 Rebellion 8
The village of Babol, which had always been quiet, was destined to experience an unsettling early morning.
At a little after three o’clock, all the villagers were slumbering in the land of dreams, except for some people with ulterior motives.
Suddenly, the village dogs started barking furiously, starting with the first dog barking, and in just a few minutes all the dogs in the village started barking.
The noise made by the dogs was so great that most people were awakened, for those who did not know the truth, some were so angry that they scolded these barking beasts, some were worried if some bandits had entered the village, and for those who knew a certain secret, their hearts felt as if they were being severely clamped by iron pincers.
The sound of horses’ hooves! A large number of horses’ hooves sounded on the avenue in the middle of the village. The sound was so dense that it was a large number of horses that could create such a sound, so much so that those who were awakened from their sleep in the residential houses facing the street could clearly feel the vibration of the ground.
Even the boldest people did not dare to go out at this time, they could only muster up enough courage to quietly peer at the situation outside through the cracks in the windows.
There was a loud clang! The Fergus family mansion located at the eastern end of the village was crashed open.
A large number of Alda soldiers armed with firearms rushed into the mansion, the front ends of the firearms all had bayonets on them, flashing brightly under the illumination of the lights in the courtyard.
“You guys! Who are you people? This is Lord Fergus’ mansion, who told you to trespass?”
Several servants boldly asked the visitors. Most of the people in the mansion had been taken by Fergus to Blitz to “hunt”, so there were fewer people.
“I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find anyone when I came in.”
The leading officer hemmed and hawed and gave an order that made these servants feel that something big was wrong, “Tie them all up for me.”
“Ah? This lord, spare us!”
The several servants collapsed to the ground in fear, the intimidation just now didn’t work, of course they knew that they had run into a tough opponent, and they decisively turned to playing the goat.
“Tied up tied up!”
The officer waved his hand, not moved in the slightest.
“One of our own, one of our own, don’t even move.”
A man with a moustache and a thin, smiling face ran out from inside.
He came in front of the officer and nodded and hailed, his demeanor humble to the core.
“This lord, I think you have some misunderstanding, this is Lord Fergus’s mansion, he is a knight loyal to Lord Greymane ah, looking at your dress, you must also be loyal to Lord Greymane’s army, since you are the same lord, we are all our own people.”
The officer looked the visitor up and down and asked, “What are you?”
The moustache guy smiled faintly, “My humble self is the steward here.”
The officer’s eyes widened at once, “Steward? Isn’t that the closest lapdog of the house master? You must know where Fergus is, quickly reveal his location.”
He whirled around and slapped himself on the head.
“No, you’re coming with me right now to find the battalion commander’s instructor and show us the way.”
Two soldiers stepped forward and yanked the steward’s arms left and right, then proceeded to drag him outside.
“Ugh? No, no, no.”
The butler struggled vigorously, and while struggling, he also shouted, “There must be some kind of misunderstanding in the middle, you can’t arrest the wrong person.”
Although the mouth shouted misunderstanding, but in fact the butler’s heart is like a mirror, as Fergus’s beloved of beloved, of course he knows what his own oh master went to do things. When the first time he heard about his master’s scheming, the butler’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
That was a great matter that was enough to plunge the family into oblivion!
What the butler couldn’t quite figure out in his mind was how the news got out, letting the army know about it so quickly. He has long been in accordance with the master’s instructions, the nearby signaling station to control ah, besides Paul Gleiman also did not have the opportunity to send information through the signaling station, right, he is still in the mountains surrounded it.
“Misunderstanding?” The officer snorted coldly, “We’ll soon know if it’s a misunderstanding or not.”
He waved his hand, “Search! Pull out everyone in this mansion and take them away!”
That is, in about half an hour, a bunch of people were already tied up on the village’s threshing floor.
Fergus’s butler saw this scene, and made up his mind that no matter what, he could not tell the army about his master’s “hunting spot”, and that only if his master’s side and the side of Lake Town succeeded, would his side be relieved of their danger.
However, half an hour later, the butler told the soldiers in charge of the interrogation of the “hunting ground” – he overestimated his own will and endurance.
“That place is called Rabbit Valley, with mountains to the north and south, and only two entrances to the east and west.”
The steward’s mouth hissed and leaked as he spoke, half because his face hurt and half because he had lost a lot of teeth.
“Lord Fergus …… No, it’s the traitor Fergus …… ouch …… and his accomplices gathered a total of more than 600 people from several nearby villages and blocked the Lord blocked inside, intending to assassinate tonight when the Lord’s guards let their guard down, if it still doesn’t work …… ouch ……”
He covered his high swollen half face and screamed in pain.
The battalion commander, Lt. Col. Carter Hawley, grabbed him by the shirt, “If it still doesn’t work what? Hurry up and say it.”
“They just …… they just ……”
The butler was stunned by the fierce expression on the Lieutenant Colonel’s face.
“They just set fire to the forests within the Rabbit Valley and used fire to accomplish their goal.”
Lt. Col. Hawley was shocked, it was too vicious!
“Quickly, bring a few people who are familiar with the terrain, let’s rush to Rabbit Valley immediately!”
The Lieutenant Colonel immediately made a decision, and his men immediately took action.
The officers and soldiers of the 8th Infantry Battalion once again rode their horses furiously, however, they had just immediately the village was less than two miles away when they saw a light appearing far into the night.
……
“They really set the forest on fire! This group of villains, I will definitely make them look good.”
Paul swore indignantly as he shouted outside, “Everyone, hurry back to camp!”
The fire began to flash out in the distance, getting bigger and bigger and more intense, and it was still windy, so the wind fueled the fire, and before long the forest around them was ablaze with sky-high flames.
In order that Paul and the others might have nowhere to hide, the renegades had lighted fires in several directions.
The tents, which were inflammable, had been taken down, and before long the uninjured soldiers had come out of the camp and desperately begun to pull up the grass, in the hope of preventing the fire from reaching the interior of the camp. But they didn’t have the tools at hand, and the weeding wasn’t very efficient. What’s more, when the entire forest was burning, what could a small fire stop stop stop.
According to Paul’s order, the soldiers on the outskirts of the camp were withdrawn back.
Standing in the center of the camp was Ladi Sertia, and while everyone was busy, this green-haired witch was the only one who stood there motionless, with her eyes closed tightly, not knowing what she was doing or thinking.
Now as the fire got closer she suddenly opened her eyes.
