As night fell, thick darkness shrouded Double Flags City in a suffocating way.
Things seem a little weird.
As the Ajax army finally withdrew half a month ago, the cruelest battle has ended, and the haze of war that shrouded the sky has been lifted. It's not as brightly lit as Chambord City, where the magic civilization is highly developed, but at least it should be full of noisy and lively atmosphere.
After all, this is the largest city in the northwestern border of the Zenit Empire.
However, the scene below made Fei who was standing in the void feel a little confused.
The distance between Shuangqi City and Chambord City is seven to eight hundred kilometers. For ordinary people, it may take more than ten days to reach it, but for a strong person like Sun Fei, it is only ten minutes. It's just a matter, even if you don't use the [Throne of Troubled Times], the speed of the silver sword wings is like a streamer, and Fei quickly came to the sky above the Double Flag City from the [Five Swords Heavenly Peak].
Calculated from the time, it was only about ten o'clock in the evening.
According to Fei's previous understanding of Shuangqi City, unless there is an official curfew, at this time, we should face up to the time when this giant city is brightly lit and full of people, but at this time, Shuangqi City is dead silent.
There are few lights scattered here and there, most of them come from the barracks and some main buildings in the city, and there are no people on the street. The lonely spring breeze blows the yellow sand, humming There is no sound, no popularity, as if it has become an empty ghost town.
There was a trace of bloody smell in the air.
Fei could vaguely feel that above the city, there were strands of resentment and undead spirit reverberating unrelentingly.
"What's going on here? Could it be..."
Fei frowned. After thinking for a while, his figure flickered, and he swooped down to the barracks of the former garrison of Double Flag City. what happened…
Double Flag City, the original camp of the garrison in the city.
A cold night wind blows, and wisps of smoke dance in the air.
On both sides of the fence of the gate of the camp, the dark red flames in the high-set braziers whistled in the wind, and seemed to be in danger of being extinguished at any time. Wisps of sparks were blown from the burning coals, and the surroundings Splash and dance.
With the faint light of the fire, it can be seen that at some time, twenty ten-meter-long wooden pillars were erected on both sides of the camp, and at least three or four corpses were hung on each pillar, blowing in the wind. Floating back and forth, with livid faces and long tongues sticking out, it was obvious that they were hung there alive by hanging. These corpses were wearing military uniforms, and they hadn't started to rot yet, and it took only four or five days to die.
On the four sides of the camp, there are a group of armored sergeants waiting in formation, and there are even sergeants with bright armor patrolling back and forth, with a murderous aura on their bodies, watching the camp all the time.
In the big camp, all the troops stationed in Shuangqi City were required to rest, and no braziers were allowed to be lit in the tents.
The silver flame flashed slightly, and Fei's figure appeared at the gate of the camp.
Looking up at the hanging corpses of soldiers, his brows were frowned, and a sense of confusion and anger began to pervade in his heart, because he still recognized a few of the dead, who had behaved very well during the battle of Shuangqi City. He was brave, he had received his own honor roll call, and he was a soldier Sun Fei admired, but he didn't know what military discipline he violated, so he was hanged directly
With doubts in his heart, he walked towards the camp step by step.
Iron armor clanked, swords and guns shone coldly in the night, groups of armored soldiers patrolling back and forth kept passing by, but even if they passed by Fei, they couldn't find that His Majesty the King's strength was far away. Far beyond the scope of ordinary strong people, along the way, an invisible force ripples continuously around him, which can isolate all sight and perception.
The mental power radiated out like a tide, and Fei started looking for Frank? Ribery.
But after a while, His Majesty the King was surprised to find that the commander of the garrison was not in the camp...
Commander's tent.
Since the brazier was not lit, the terrible darkness swallowed everything, only a few long gasps.
On the seat on the upper right side of the big tent, Fernando, the squadron leader of the Shuangqi City Garrison? Gago's eyes shone with an angry cold light like the eyes of a falcon in the darkness.
Not long ago, he was rewarded by King Chambord Alexander with a fighting qi cheat book. He practiced diligently these days, and his strength was finally promoted to four stars. Like the other good generals in the tent at this time, he can Seeing things in the dark, so even without lighting the lights, you can still see the sad expressions on the faces of several companions in other seats.
"Let's talk about it, what should we do? My lord has been invited to go for three days, and there is still no news. I'm afraid it's bad luck. This gang of hateful bastards surrounded the camp, and the brothers are not allowed to go out to inquire. News, are we just sitting there waiting to die? Everyone who is doing this is the comrade-in-arms and brothers that Lord Frank trusts and relies on most in daily life. In times of crisis, we must do something!"
Gago's bright eyes swept across the faces of his companions, and his voice was low, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Now the camp is blocked, and the special envoy of the military department does not allow anyone to go out, otherwise they will be killed. Alas... Keren and Yule... what brave fighters in the battle, just because they wanted to sneak out to find out about Lord Frank. Those bastards were hanged alive... It's really not good, let's go against it, kill this group of cannibals and rescue adults... "
"Yes, Fernando, tell me something, I think all the brothers are willing to do it, kill them all, don't think that our garrison is so easy to bully!"
"Yes, you bastards, what are these goddamn bastards doing while we are guarding the Double Flag City with blood and sweat?"
"Bah, that is, when they came, they usurped all the military merits of the brothers, and asked us to confess the bullshit facts that Lord Alexander conspired against the country and colluded with the Ajax people. They tortured us under various pretexts and forced us to death. Many brothers…”
"It's really chilling, what a good brother, didn't die on the battlefield, didn't die under the scimitar of the Ajax sand ghost, but died in the hands of the so-called own people, this is simply a shame, we He is a hero in defending the city, but what kind of end did we get? In my opinion, that shitty special envoy of the army, Ma Taisen, just didn’t give us a way to survive. He made it clear that he wanted to kill us. Trash fish that have never seen blood, we can kill them all in half an hour!"
"Kill them, go to the city lord's mansion, scrape that damn poisonous snake Soloyev alive, and rescue Master Ribery!"
The crowd in the big tent was excited, everyone held down the hilt of the sword at their waist, and there was a crazy look on their faces. Just thinking about what happened these days, the anger in everyone's heart is enough to burn the entire giant city. They didn't expect that they were the heroes who won the war, but they were treated like criminals and villains.
The roar of his companions made Gago feel that the blood in his heart was boiling uncontrollably.
He held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and he had an urge to pull out the sword immediately, rush out of the camp and sound the war horn, gather the garrison, and go out to rescue the respected Frank? Captain Ribery, wash away the abuse and humiliation you have encountered these days...
But at the last moment, he had to restrain his crazy impulse abruptly.
"We can indeed kill all the bastards in the city, maybe we can rescue Mr. Ribery, but what will we do after we are rescued? Are we really rebelling against the empire? We can't bear the consequences of doing that, as long as the empire's counter-insurgency army arrives... no , maybe there is no need to send an army at all, as long as the ruling knights of the Knights Hall arrive, we will be defeated... It doesn't matter if we die in battle, but, should we let the 20,000 pairs of brothers in the army be buried with us for our crazy decision today? ?"
Gago asked with a bitter face.
These words, like pieces of eternal ice, fell on the hearts of everyone, and they had to suppress the flames of their anger bit by bit. The irresistible strength of the Imperial Army made everyone feel humiliation and despair.
"Then what do you think we should do? Shall we just sit here quietly and do nothing? Sir Frank..."
"No, of course we're going to do something."
Gago's bright eyes were full of adventure and madness. He lowered his voice, looked at the faces of everyone, and said slowly: "Don't drag down the 20,000 brothers, just a few of us, our strength is enough. Wait until late at night. When those bastards were slacking off, they sneaked out, killed the city lord's mansion, beheaded the damn special envoy and the city lord, rescued Mr. Ribery, and then left Twin Flags... Doing so would be more dangerous, how dare you? Dare not do it?"
"Okay, I, Drenthe, listen to you, so do it!"
"Yes, this is a solution. For Mr. Ribery, even if I die by a thousand swords, I will not hesitate to fight!"
"No problem, my big ax is already hungry and thirsty!"
However, some people also raised doubts: "After we rescue the adults, what should we do next? This incident will definitely alarm the Imperial Knights' Palace. When the ruling knights are dispatched to investigate, we will have no place to hide. We must first think about it." You can only do it if you go there, and you can't act recklessly!"
A smile appeared on Gago's face.
"I've thought about this a long time ago. After rescuing Mr. Ribery, we immediately ran all night and went to Chambord City to join Mr. Alexander. The King of Chambord, Yi Bo Yuntian, is as brave as Mr. Ribery, and his strength is superb. Don't be afraid of the pursuit of the Imperial Knights Palace!"
As soon as this sentence came out, most people nodded.
Indeed, at this moment, it seemed that only the figure of that man could give people a sense of security.
