Chapter 168: The Secret Service (Part I)
The city of Fontaine was in chaos, full of panicked soldiers of the original city defense army, as well as some strong men of the Xia army who took advantage of the fire to loot. /./ The huge explosion destroyed Xia Jie and Xingtian Gale their station, directly putting the Xia army into an embarrassing situation of having no command for the time being, the barbarian soldiers who have rich experience in plundering and fighting the autumn wind in the Great Xia territory and those Xia soldiers who have just been recruited into the Xia army, maybe a few months ago were still waiting for someone to hire a samurai, where is there not to take the opportunity to loot?
Anyway, the citizens of Fontaine in front of them were powerless to resist their raids. How could a flock of weak sheep resist the attacks of countless tyrannosaurs?
The middle and lower-ranking officers of the Xia army turned a blind eye to the soldiers' behavior of taking advantage of the fire and looting, and they didn't bother to pay attention to these things at all. They rushed to the castle on the hill with their own personal guards, taking the opportunity to show their loyalty to Xia Jie and Xingtian Dafeng, or also joining the group of robbering soldiers and taking advantage of the situation to loot the courtyards of several nobles.
When groups of red-eyed aristocratic men and women screamed and jumped out from everywhere, waving their arms stiffly and pounced and bitten at the Xia soldiers, killing and wounding a large number of soldiers, the massacre order naturally came out of the mouths of officers at all levels - killing all the people who dared to resist the Xia army everywhere in sight. There is no doubt that this order wrapped a thick protective coat on the plundering behavior of the Xia soldiers, and all those killed by them could be labeled as a mob, and no one would pay attention to them.
When Xia Jie hurriedly led thousands of people back to the city, two streets were already in flames, and countless citizens of Fontaine were screaming and running in panic. A group of Xia soldiers with large bags and small bags on their backs, armed with sharp knives, rushed out of a burning courtyard with a wild laugh. A few citizens who happened to be nearby were slashed to the ground by the soldiers with knives in their hands, and several soldiers squatted down neatly, rummaged through the corpses, and put some valuable small items into their pockets.
"This, is martial law in the whole city?" Xia Jie looked at these soldiers who had become no different from bandits in anger, pointed at them angrily, and snorted angrily at the Xingtian gale.
Xingtian Gale was dumbfounded, he blinked his eyes, rushed up and knocked over the soldiers who were covered with packages with a few whips, and shouted angrily: "Whose subordinates are you?"
A side disciple of the Xingtian family hurriedly ran out of a house on the side of the road carrying a large package, and when he saw the iron-faced Xingtian gale, he hurriedly shouted: "Big brother, what's the matter?"
The whip made of purple gold silk in Xingtian Gafeng's hand slashed at the young man, and he scolded angrily: "Xingtian raccoon, I told you to block the entire city with troops and horses, what are you doing? Who was the first to set up for the army to plunder? Catch him for Lao Tzu and cut him down!"
Xing Tianyan hurriedly dropped the package in his hand, and he didn't dare to move to let the whip leave deep blood marks on his face, and he smiled bitterly: "Big brother, where can you find the first person to attack? Anyway, the city is in chaos." Uh, I don't rob it, but someone else robs it? Can't we be cheaper than those barbarians recruited from the barbarian country? We always have to take care of our brothers, don't we?"
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of soldiers of the Xia Army who had not disappeared from the blood stains on their weapons rushed over on the street, and the first person was the children of the Xingtian family, and their hands were also full of large and small packages, and occasionally some valuable goods such as jade and gold nuggets fell out of the full package. Xing Tian's face was so angry that his face was crooked, and he pointed at his cousin and cousin and scolded angrily: "**You Amu! What did I tell you just now?"
Xingtian Gale was about to teach his own brothers who were not angry a lesson, Xia Jie had already shouted loudly with a gloomy face: "All the barbarian troops belong to the order! Each group sent 30 men to search the streets, and those who dared to go out into the streets, no matter who they were, were to be killed! All the sergeants other than the barbarians were stationed in every house in the city, and those who took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble were killed! Those who took advantage of the fire to rob and steal were killed! Those who spread rumors and deceive the army were killed!"
After taking Xia Jie's witch with his own essence and blood as an introduction, the barbarian soldiers respected Xia Jie like a god, and there would be absolutely no disobedience to his orders. Groups of elite barbarian soldiers, under the leadership of Gao Dingjun Wuwu, shuttled through the streets and alleys of Fontainelu, killing all the idlers who dared to wander the streets, and the bloody killing methods immediately shocked the entire city.
Thousands of noble family members of the Duchy of Bailu who had been turned into a zombie were slaughtered, and some of the people of the Duchy who took advantage of the fire to loot were also mercilessly executed, and order in the city was quickly restored. Groups of soldiers walked into the courtyards of the city, turning every corner upside down. No one dared to take the opportunity to rob the people anymore, all the soldiers carried out Xia Jie's orders very dutifully, and sure enough, hundreds of low-level descendants of the blood clan were forced out, and after losing nearly a thousand ordinary soldiers with low strength, these descendants of the blood clan were all killed.
In the main hall of a noble mansion where the entire clan had been turned into a zombie and slaughtered by barbarian soldiers, Xia Jie sat on a soft chair with a gloomy face. There were still large patches of blood on the ground and walls, and some of the servants recruited from the city were fighting the feeling of nausea and vomiting, washing them away with brushes and water. The barbarian warriors were so ruthless that the occasional scrap of flesh stuck to the floors and walls in the vast expanse of blood, and the faceless servants were carefully shoveling them down with their tools.
In the hall next door, Xingtian Gale was shouting and scolding at the clansmen of their Xingtian family, criticizing their performance in last night's riot, and scolding these elites of the Xingtian family couldn't raise their heads one by one. From time to time, there were hurried heralds running into the hall and reporting the current situation of the cities led by Xingtian Xuanyue, Xingtian Aolong, Xingtianpan, Xingtianzhen, Xingtian Huanghu and others.
Overnight, in the most important dozen metropolises in the central territory of the Yuan Hairen, which is also an important stronghold of the Xia army today, there were low-level blood descendants at the same time, turning a large number of nobles and ordinary people into zombies, thus triggering large-scale riots. A large number of nobles and ordinary people were killed, and a varying number of Xia soldiers were injured or even killed in the riots.
The biggest loss occurred in Yililu City, which was led by Xingtianpan, and several important generals under Xingtianpan's command were killed, and three of them were direct blood relatives of the Xingtianpan family.
And the most serious loss was in Xingtian Xuan Leech, the three assassins who didn't understand the specific strength, but at least all had the cultivation of more than eight tripods, took advantage of the chaos to besiege Xingtian Xuan Leech, and almost beat Xingtian Xuan Leech to the ground under one blow. If it weren't for the extremely strong witchcraft protection on the Xingtian Xuan Leech, and the pro-soldiers of the Xingtian family who didn't want to cover his retreat, the six most outstanding brothers of the Xingtian family would have one less person.
That's what the Punishment Gale is dealing with. It is necessary to appease the nobles and nobles of the central collar, to appease the people of the central collar, and to restore social order as soon as possible. At the same time, if you want to apply for reinforcements from your own family, you need a master of sufficient weight to sit in the middle of the collar. We must come up with a solution to these troublesome things as soon as possible.
Originally, everyone thought that the war was over, and it was impossible for the sea people to have the strength to fight back, as long as the army of Great Xia entered, they could smoothly receive the original territory and people of the sea people. But it wasn't until after last night's incident that they found out that the matter was not over. It was only natural that a descendant of the Bloodline had appeared among the Assassins last night. But there is still a high-ranking witch among the assassins, which has to make people have some bad associations.
Xia Jie didn't pay attention to these official correspondence, he stared at the Grand Duke Bai Lu in front of him in a daze, thinking about how to send him away.
The obese Bai Lu walked around in front of Xia Jie in a very deplorable manner, and the fat all over his body was thrilling as his steps hit the ground. His hair was messy, his bow tie was crooked, the purple silk robe on the upper half of his body was half tied into the belt and half was exposed indiscriminately, his lower body was half tight and his trousers were loose, one foot was covered with red dots and white socks, and the other foot was covered with purple orchid socks, and the two bloated eyes on his fat face glared out fiercely, and his mouth kept shouting: "How can this be?
After walking a few steps back and forth, Grand Duke Bai Lu suddenly stopped, his hands were clenched into fists, and his face was flushed and shouted at Xia Jie: "Slaughter, massacre! Executioner, you are executioners!"
Xia Jie said dryly: "Massacre? Well, this is the suppression of riots. ”
"Slaughter!" I don't know where I got the courage, Grand Duke Bai Lu rushed forward a few steps, he stared at Xia Jie with wide eyes and roared: "Nearly 20,000 ordinary people, as well as sixty percent of the nobles in the city, have been killed by your army. At the same time, 3,000 families were left homeless on two main streets, and 17,000 families were looted!
Saliva sprayed on Xia Jie's face, and Xia Jie looked at Grand Duke Bai Lu helplessly. Grand Duke Bailu jumped to his feet and scolded: "For a long time, we have been ruled by Atlantis, they are proud, they are proud, they are high, but they never kill us! We live a quiet and peaceful life! We are very rich, we are very peaceful, we are very happy! But, look, you have only been here in Fontaine for a few days?"
Grand Duke Bailu roared angrily, "You have been here for less than ten days in Ifontainelu, have we treated you badly? I have served you food and wine, I have responded to your requests, I have built barracks for your army, I have given you my most comfortable and beautiful castle, I have given you my guard and the guard of the nobility of the principality, the little lover? Oh, the little woman named Ai Wei. ”
Xia Jie frowned, he rubbed his chin vigorously, and the rigid beard slag made a 'quack' sound. He stretched out his hands helplessly and sighed, "She is not my lover. ”
"I don't care, in short, my guards have all been handed over to her!" Bai Lu said in a very angry manner, "I even conscripted five thousand women who dared to sacrifice themselves into your military camp three days ago!"
"What?" Xia Jie jumped up violently: "You let five thousand women enter the barracks? I don't know about this!"
Grand Duke Bai Lu waved his hand, and he shouted angrily: "But the two generals around you know about this! Five thousand women, don't send a single copper to them." Why? Isn't it because we want to keep this peaceful life? We would rather sacrifice food, money, all kinds of supplies, even women, to ensure that we can have a quiet and peaceful environment. But what a terrible thing it was? Oh, one night! Look, one night, what a terrible thing!"
The short and fat Grand Duke Bai Lu jumped up and grabbed Xia Jie's collar tightly. Xia Jie was too tall, and Grand Duke Bai Lu hung on Xia Jie's neck like a ball. Grand Duke Bailu cried out with sorrow and anger: "Twenty thousand people! Sixty percent of the nobles! This is what we have received! If I had known that this was the case, I should have mobilized the people of the entire duchy to join the conscription army of Atlantis, and let them fight to the death with you!"
Scratching a handful of Xia Jie's face, Grand Duke Bai Lu said angrily: "That's right, you live or die!"
'Click', Xia Jie's collar couldn't bear the heavy body of Grand Duke Bai Lu, his collar was torn, Grand Duke Bai Lu fell to the ground violently, and Xia Jie's shirt was torn open a large slit, revealing the underwear inside. Xia Jie reluctantly apologized to Grand Duke Bailu and said, "I'm sorry, the order I gave last night was a bit too reckless, but in that case, this is the only way to restore peace to the city as soon as possible." You see, there are so many descendants of the blood clan in the city, in fact, the biggest casualties are brought by them, aren't they?"
Grand Duke Bailu gasped a few times, he sat on the ground and rolled his eyes a few times, and spread his hands helplessly: "Ah, of course, those monsters you mentioned, I know, they caused the riots of the nobles, and all the dead and injured nobles have nothing to do with them. But those 20,000 innocent civilians, how do you explain that?"
20,000 civilians? Xia Jie couldn't explain it. The newly assembled Xia army took advantage of the fire to loot and kill a large number of civilians. Then he personally issued martial law, which caused the death and injury of a large number of panicked people who fled to the streets. The people were forced to flee into the streets because of the fire, but how did the fire start?
If it was in Anyi, these damn newly recruited soldiers would never dare to be so presumptuous. These lowly warriors had a very low status in Great Xia, perhaps only a line higher than the common people, and any real great witch could order thousands of such weak warriors to be killed as if they were slaughtering animals.
However, in Fontainelu, a place conquered by Great Xia, these weak warriors were much stronger than the people here, and they invisibly possessed privileges similar to those of the Great Witch relative to them. A small spark is enough to trigger a catastrophe for the people. Xia Jie didn't let these soldiers rob and kill the people in the city, but after all, these people were nominally the army under his jurisdiction, and he couldn't shirk his responsibility.
Faced with such a situation, they would only instinctively make a choice: kill all the nobles and civilians in the city because they caused him trouble, and then, kill all the ordinary soldiers because they also caused him trouble.
But Xia Jie couldn't do such a thing. He could only bow deeply to Grand Duke Bai Lu and apologize in a deep tone: "Of course, I don't want to see such a thing happen. I will personally compensate those who have lost their houses, and the loss of your castle and your palace will also be compensated by me personally. All the soldiers who participated in last night's riot, they will be punished with the severest punishment, and I will not let these black sheep remain in my army. ”
Grand Duke Bai Lu looked at Xia Jie in astonishment. Gradually, the little courage in his body that he had gained because of anger dissipated, and he finally realized that what he had just faced was a great witch from a mysterious eastern country, with great power, almost like a god.
Grand Duke Bai Lu's weak and cowering nature was exposed, and he stammered to Xia Jie: "Oh, of course, I, I, I accept your apology. As long as this doesn't happen again in the future, I, we'll be satisfied. Ah, those losses will be borne by our principality itself, see what you say, how can you bear those losses?"
The fat body trembled, and Grand Duke Bai Lu raised his head pitifully, and moaned to Xia Jie with full confidence: "Also, on behalf of my son Alan, I apologize to you. Woo woo, he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, he offended you, you injured him and he deserved it, but he definitely didn't kill the five hundred and seventy soldiers of Great Xia! He definitely has nothing to do with last night's riot!"
"Huh?"
Xia Jie touched his chin, looked Bai Lu up and down for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "So, then, I accept your apology." Those losses, if you have to say so. ”
Grand Duke Bailu jumped up in a hurry, he hooked his waist, and smiled very flatteringly: "Of course, of course, of course, our principality will bear those losses, how can you let your Excellency the Governor be responsible? ”
