"Kill!" the auxiliary officer shouted while hiding under the guard of soldiers around him.

Immediately, the soldiers from the other side swarmed up and fought with Roddy and others. Rody slashed down one of the opponents in front of him with a knife, kicked another one away, and shouted: "Charge out!"

On the square, everything was in chaos. Seeing the fighting coming, the civilians were so frightened that they ran away. The soldiers under the auxiliary officer used swords and swords in their hands and immediately hacked to death more than a dozen people. Some of these civilians had some status and were accompanied by servants, and they also started fighting with the soldiers.

The civilians rushed towards the square, but were stopped by the soldiers outside. They were unarmed, and more than a dozen people were immediately dead on the spot.

Rody's eight Wolf Fang Army soldiers were already covered in blood. They were guarding Qiaoqiao in the middle and rushed to the edge of the square. But the other party's people were biting them, so how could they rush out

Rody had already been surrounded by more than a dozen people from the other side. Seeing that his eight men were unable to escape, the other side's people surrounded him one after another. He only heard Qiaoqiao's scream. One of Rody's Wolf Fang Army soldiers could not resist and was already trapped. Cut down the opponent. While Rody was distracted, he was immediately struck with a sword.

Rody fought and walked away, waving the scimitar in his hand to prevent the opponent from getting close to him. Hearing pitiful cries from time to time, he felt extremely angry. There was anger in his eyes, and he looked in the direction of the auxiliary officer and rushed over.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves on the left, and a cavalryman from the other side rushed over. Roddy was caught off guard and was knocked several meters away. He lay on the ground and threw the scimitar in his hand. The cavalryman screamed and fell from the ground. It fell immediately. He jumped over, got on his horse, bent down and pulled out his scimitar from the cavalryman's body.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the subordinates around Qiao Qiao could no longer hold on. Only four of the eight men were left. The rest were covered in blood. One of them had injured his leg. He just dodged when the other man slashed with his sword. If he failed, he was immediately hit on the shoulder. The Wolf Fang Army soldier inspired his bravery when he was dying. He roared suddenly and rushed towards the opponent. He was immediately hit by seven or eight swords, but the scimitar in his hand also cut off the head of one of the opponent's soldiers.

Roland slapped his horse and rushed towards them. All the soldiers who blocked him were knocked to pieces. Several cavalrymen from the other side rushed towards him. Roddy ignored him and rushed to Qiaoqiao. He picked up Qiaoqiao and threw him onto the horse. However, he turned over and dismounted. Then he shouted: "Protect the horse! Let's go towards Qiaoqiao." Rush out!”

Fortunately, there were only a few cavalry on the other side, otherwise if the cavalry charged, they would never be able to withstand it. There was a commotion in the square, with people shouting and horses shouting. Roddy and others formed a circular formation and resisted. Although the opponent had many people, after all, the Wolf Fang Army was extremely elite, and Roddy was even more powerful. Although there were only a few people, the opponent was unable to attack them for a while.

On the square, there was a pungent smell of blood everywhere. Almost all the civilians were killed. The other rebel soldiers had their hands free, and most of them surrounded Roddy and others. During the fierce battle, another Wolf Fang Army soldier died.

Rody was so angry that his chest almost exploded. These people followed him to fight fiercely in the northwest and raided the grassland. They were all warriors who had fought hundreds of battles. They did not die in the northwest battlefield, but died in the hands of the rebellious Xiqiu!

Seeing a pale golden fighting spirit suddenly arouse from Rody's body, the scimitar flashed past, and under the bright light of the sword, a light blade swept out. A strong wind blew, and the dozen or so rebel soldiers facing him were immediately cut in half.

Roddy kept slashing with his scimitar, and struck again. The dozen or so soldiers only felt that they were facing a dazzling light blade, and then their whole bodies were torn into pieces.

Rody launched two and a half Moon Slashes in a row, his fighting energy was exhausted and his face turned pale. He saw the other party retreating in fear, but he himself also felt weak. The scimitar in his hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand people. It was so heavy that it was almost impossible to lift it. The auxiliary officer looked crazy and just roared: "Kill him! Kill him quickly!!"

Suddenly I heard a noise from the north of the square, and the dull sound of horse hooves sounded like raindrops, getting closer and closer. A thick voice shouted loudly from a distance: "Your Majesty the Duke! Your Majesty the Duke!" The voice belonged to Commander Gordon.

Rody was shocked and raised his voice and shouted: "Commander Gordon! The assistant governor of Xiqiu gathered a crowd to rebel! Kill the rebels immediately!"

Only a horn was heard, and then the rebel soldiers on the back side of the square retreated and fled. Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a group of Royal Guards cavalry wearing golden armor rushed in.

Those rebellious soldiers suddenly saw the large group of cavalry on the other side, immediately shouted, abandoned their helmets and fled in all directions.

The auxiliary officer looked pale and shouted in despair: "Why run away! Fight with them! Kill them all!"

He is crazy, others are not crazy. Seeing that the big incident was over, everyone around them fled in all directions. The formation of the Royal Guards cavalry spread out and charged back and forth across the square. Only the screams of misery were heard, and those rebellious soldiers were chased away like chickens by Gordon's cavalry and fled in all directions, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Gordon and a team of people had already rushed in front of Rody and guarded Rody firmly.

Rody looked gloomy and said fiercely: "Seize that auxiliary officer! Order the Wolf Fang Army outside to guard several city gates! Don't let any of them go!"

Seeing that Rody was covered in blood, Gordon quickly stepped forward to support him and said loudly: "Don't worry, Duke, before I entered the city, Commander Sieg had already led the people of the Wolf Fang Army to guard several city gates! These rebels No one can escape."

Rody breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth: "This bastard is so bold that I caught him. I'm going to tear him apart!"

Qiaoqiao looked pale and glanced at Gordon: "If you hadn't come here, he would have been killed by him. How did you enter the city?"

Gordon looked serious and said: "Actually, when the Duke and Miss Qiaoqiao entered the city, I sent a few people to follow them secretly from a distance. Last time the Duke was in danger in the northwest, we were all extra careful and didn't dare to let you go again. Something went wrong. You were quarreling with people in the square. When the soldiers saw that you were outnumbered, they immediately ran back to report. I took the people into the city, but I didn't expect that this place would be like this! Why did the auxiliary officer rebel? "

Rody waved his hand and said nothing, but everyone escorted him towards the auxiliary government residence in the city.

At night, 10,000 Langya troops surrounded several city gates in Xiqiu City. The remaining Langya troops and 2,000 Royal Guards marched into the city to search for traitors throughout the city. Several hundred people under Gordon had already occupied the auxiliary government and firmly protected Rody and Qiaoqiao. The entire Xiqiu City was noisy all night, with people on their backs and horses on their backs, and the lights were brightly lit. At dawn, most of the rebels were captured and concentrated in the open space in front of the Auxiliary Government Residence.

These people were not local defenders in the first place. They were all desperadoes recruited by the auxiliary officer to serve as his own soldiers. After a night of fierce fighting, some were killed on the spot. Now, all of the captured people were injured and held tightly. Tied up, he knelt there.

The auxiliary officer and several of his confidants took advantage of the chaos to escape, but were blocked by the Wolf Fang Army at the gate of the city. After a fierce battle, all of his men were killed, except for the auxiliary officer who was captured and brought back.

Rody beheaded him with his own hands and ordered his body to be displayed in the street. Rody thought for a moment about the rebels who were caught, and remembered the civilians who died tragically that night. Then he no longer hesitated and ordered them all to be executed.

As soon as the auxiliary officer was executed, the whole Xiqiu was in a state of shock. The corpse was paraded through the streets. Although it was already dead, many civilians swarmed up and smashed rotten eggs and tomatoes. Obviously, this auxiliary officer has long been deeply resented by the people in Xiqiu.

They sent people to carefully interrogate several of the arrested subordinates of the auxiliary officer, and what they found out made Roddy uncontrollably frightened!

Loss of air force pay and embezzlement of money are considered small things. Just his brother, Tare, who died in the square, was carrying more than a dozen lives. Relying on his brother's strength, he ran rampant in Xiqiu. Within two years, he forced several wealthy businessmen to death and took all the money for his own use. As for his brother, he is even more powerful. From his tent, it can be seen that the soldiers under him are all desperadoes. On the surface, he is a local adjutant of the empire, but secretly relies on these men to do what he does. It is a transaction without capital. In recent years, several major cases of murder and robbery have occurred in Xilin Province, and several wealthy businessmen were muddle-headed and wiped out by bandits. Almost all of them were his fault. The money confiscated from the Auxiliary Government's residence actually amounted to nearly one million gold coins!

Half of the local officials in the entire Xilin Province are in collusion with him, some are colluding with him, and some are afraid of his power. And he relied on the support of these local officials to become the first governor of Xiqiu, the capital city.

Seeing the long list on the found report, Rody sneered, slapped the table, and with a crash, the table in front of him fell apart.

"Send two thousand people! Go to various places in Xilin and investigate! None of these implicated people will be spared! Let me arrest them all and interrogate them carefully!" Rody said fiercely. Then he frowned and said to Gordon: "Xilin is my fiefdom. If I want to deal with these people, do I need to go through the imperial capital?"

Gordon said calmly: "It's nominally going to pass. After all, they are all officials of the empire. But this time even Miss Qiaoqiao was almost killed by them. I don't think your majesty will protect them! I don't think so. Arrest him first, and then wait for His Majesty’s orders.”

Rody sighed: "I didn't expect that Xilin Province would be like this. The fiefdom of the dignified Tulip family would be so smoky!"

Gordon also sighed: "The old Duke passed away a few years ago, and Miss Nicole is young... you... you... you don't like to interfere with things, so..."

Rody blushed and said calmly: "I didn't care before, but now that I know, I can't ignore it!" After a pause, his face darkened: "I don't care about the messy things in the officialdom! I only know The law is fair! I will only use blood to scare these garbage! If they are found guilty, I will send them all to the guillotine!"

Gordon was startled by Rody's words and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty the Duke... Although you have a high position, but if these people are dealt with all at once... The officialdom is intricately connected after all. God knows these guys are all related to the Imperial Capital. Who is colluding..."

Seeing that the Duke was silent, Gordon gritted his teeth and whispered: "There are some things I have to say! Although Xilin Province is the fiefdom of the Tulip family, over the years, the Tulip family has withered away, and the fiefdom matters are also unclear. The control is not so strict. Many local officials in Xilin were appointed by others from the imperial capital! Xilin has fertile land, rich products, and prosperous commerce. Although the annual income is still given to the Tulip family, they are secretly here. I don’t know how much money has been taken away! The treasure land of Xilin has long been a source of competition for various forces. After all, the Duke is young and has not yet established a foothold in the imperial capital. He has offended so many people at once... I think it’s better to take it slow. Of course, some people need to be killed, but some people... let them go if they can! It won’t be too late to deal with these people one by one when you get a firm foothold in the future!”

Rody sneered: "If you don't even care if your family's fiefdom is turned into this by others, then let's not talk about the bullshit glory of the Tulip family! Don't talk about it. If these people stay in Xilin for one day, they will do harm for one day!" Didn’t you see how many innocent civilians died in the square? Huh! There is a Tare brother in Xiqiu! There are countless Tare brothers in other places!”

Watching Gordon walk out with a solemn expression.

Rody sighed and sat down slowly.

"Andy! Are you there?" Since Rody was cured by the Black Veil Saint that day, he has been able to contact Andy again. The two met as early as when they were at Watt Fortress, but Andy was a skeleton after all and couldn't walk around in front of people. Most of the time, his body remained in the box.

Andy's voice resounded in his mind: "Boy, why were you so murderous just now? You are not really from the Tulip family. The fiefdom matter has nothing to do with you. Why are you so angry? I see that Gordon That’s right.”

Rody's voice was cold: "The glory of tulips? I'm not thinking of tulips! This is the case in Xilin Province, but what about the entire empire? A small auxiliary officer dared to openly rebel due to greed, and he gathered so many subordinates. What about the rest of the empire? What about the north?"

"You are becoming more and more tough now, and you are not merciless at all when you come to murderous people." Andy sighed.

There was a hint of pain on Roddy's face. He smiled bitterly and said: "Killing people? Have you forgotten? Mr. Dandong's notes said: In troubled times, you should use heavy codes! Blood is not a good thing originally, but at critical moments, it is It's better than anything else! Killing... I'm no longer the soft-hearted Rody... Hum... Killing... If I kill one of these rubbish, maybe ten innocent people will survive! , killing ten people and thousands of people! Even if my hands are full of blood, so what! On the battlefield, I will kill you or I will die! I have deeply remembered the truth! ”

He stood up slowly, walked to the window and looked at the blood-colored sunset in the distance, and said lightly: "Not only the glory of the Tulip family... even the entire Empire of Light is almost over."
