Chapter Eighteen The Massacre(1/2)
After Roger's army unfolded its formation five hundred meters away from the city, there was obviously a small riot in Makur City.
"The rebels are rebels, and they are indeed mobs." Charlie said disdainfully.
Roger looked at the city defense of Makur and asked, "Look, how long will we take to capture it? How much will it be?"
"It is easy to open the city gate with you and Princess Froya. Although our number is not much higher than that of each other, I can capture this city after giving me half a day! The loss... should be around 200 to 300 people."
Rogge smiled faintly and said, "The loss is a little bigger. At least half of the three thousand rebels in the city are the remnants of the country of goshawks and vultures. We can make things easier! Come and call the city, and I will give them half a day. If you surrender, then the rebels in the country of Snow Falcon will not be investigated and will only execute foreign rebels. If you dare to resist, then after the city is broken, I will massacre the city!"
Several messengers rushed toward the city of Makur, and they shouted in unison and repeated Roger's words. Sure enough, there was a riot on the top of the city. After a while, several powerful soldiers on the top of the city shouted suddenly, shot down several arrows, and shot one of the messengers on the spot. The rest of the messengers fled back in a hurry.
Roger frowned and said to Froya, "Give them some good looks!"
The little fairy said, chanting the spell reluctantly. After a while, a fireball flew towards the city. Then two more fireballs flew over.
There were shouting at the top of Makur City, and the warriors shot arrows at the fireballs one after another, but Froya's fireball technique was so easy to deal with? After receiving dozens of arrows, it spread out with a bang. But the two fireballs behind it were absolutely not too late to shoot.
A wave of flames plowed the head of Makur hard, and a scream immediately rang out. Several firemen jumped down from the head of the city until they landed on the ground, and the screams did not stop.
The soldiers who escaped the baptism of fire waves had just popped out from their hiding place and found in despair that the second wave of fireballs was about to fly to the city wall again.
The screams rang out again, and this time dozens of firemen fell from the city.
This time the magic strike was surprisingly unexpected. The rebels had no magicians, only a few magic apprentices, how could they fight against Froya's magic? The little fairy was wearing the best magic equipment and casting magic at an unusually fast speed; her magic power was high, and the power of the fireball technique released from her hands was far beyond that of ordinary magicians.
Seeing that the magic strike was extremely effective this time, Rogge immediately ordered the army to retreat five hundred meters, rest on the spot, and then attack the city in the afternoon.
As the final time limit given by Roger gradually approached, the quarrels between the rebels in Makur City became more and more intense. The soldiers from the other two principalities in the Highlands died and naturally advocated a fight to the death. However, the people led by Makur's former city lord were hesitant. Although they all knew that this was Roger's conspiracy to provoke their internal struggle, after experiencing the baptism of Froya's terrifying magic, they no longer thought they could defend Makur.
Although Makur is small, Roger's three thousand men are impossible to surround him. Therefore, he placed the main force outside a city gate, and the other gates were only monitored by a small number of rangers. Once the rebel party fails to fight and begins to flee, then under the pursuit of Charlie's Spartan Knights and the Dark Side Elf Shooter of the Moon, what is waiting for the rebel party will be a one-sided massacre.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Makur made a noise, and the city gate suddenly opened and dozens of people ran out. But the city gate was closed and arrows shot down the city, nailing dozens of people who defected to death under the city.
The infantry outside the city stood up one after another, and the knights also stepped onto the war horses. Amid the melodious sound of war horns, Roger's army slowly forged forward, and this time he continued to advance three hundred meters away from the city before stopping the formation.
This has reached the edge of the archers on the city wall. A command sounded on the city wall, and dozens of arrows shot over.
A strange light sound was buzzing behind Roger, and a white light flashed, and an archer on the top of the city suddenly fell. Within a distance of three hundred meters, the Elf King's Bow can be said to be a hit. One hundred elves archers on the dark side of the Moon also fired arrows one after another. Several of them concentrated on shooting an archer on the top of the city. The elf long bow in his hand emitted a faint magic light under the influence of the Elf King's Bow. The powerful arrow shot out was as fast as lightning, which was accurate and ruthless.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of archers fell on the top of the city, and for a moment, no one dared to show up on the top of the city of Makur.
The sparse arrow branches shot down from the city were all stopped by the Spartan knights with giant shields.
Roger ordered again, and two huge earth elements stood up staggeringly. After blessing the stone skin, acceleration and blessing techniques, they rushed towards the city gate quickly, and their huge fists fell heavily!
Makur is one foot thick, and the city gate with iron outfits cannot withstand the blows of such a giant, and it becomes deformed and distorted in just a few strokes.
The city of Makur immediately became panicked and chaotic. Under the suppression of the strong bow on the dark side of the moon, the defenders on the city could not stand out at all, and could not pose any threat to Roger's army, nor could they do anything to the two huge earth elements that were smashing the door.
"Mr. Roger, the rebels will soon abandon the city and escape. I will lead the team around the city and intercept the city now!" Charlie said in a deep voice.
After being recognized by Roger, Charlie led seventy Spartan knights and two hundred Moon's Dark Side out from the flank and surrounded Makur City.
With a loud bang, Makur's city gate finally fell down with the heavy earth element fist, and even crushed dozens of soldiers who were desperately supporting behind the gate.
Roger waved his hand and the heavy infantry was in front of him, while the light infantry guarded both wings and rushed towards the city gate like a tide.
Froya accurately passed through two earth elements squeezed at the gate of the city, exploded in the city, and several waves of fire cleared a clearing space of more than ten meters behind the gate. The two injured earth elements were also affected and finally fell to the ground and turned into a pile of soil.
In front of the well-equipped Principal of Alay, street fighting has become a nightmare for the rebels. Especially under the leadership of Androni, who is highly skilled in martial arts, all the traps and ambushing of the rebels have lost their function. Rogge sat firmly on his horse, commanded in the center, and finally realized the free feeling of strategizing and not talking.
The gate on the other side of Makur City suddenly opened, and nearly a thousand rebels rushed out and fled into the mountains in a hurry. But at this time, the iron cavalry led by Charlie had already passed by the city and chased the fleeing rebels.
Seeing that Charles was few, the deserter didn't care at all. The whole army turned around and tried to eat the more than 200 cavalry first. However, Charles did not fight hard with them. He relied on his exquisite riding skills to wander around a hundred meters away from the enemy. The Dark Side of the Moon and the Archer immediately showed the benefits of riding and shooting. The first wave of arrow rain passed, and dozens of rebels were shot off the horse. Occasionally, the knights approached were easily picked off by Charles's new Spartan knights. Among the seventy people in the Spartan Knights, thirty original Golden Lion Knights would have taken these mobs in their eyes? Under their fierce attack of guns, there was basically no one-match enemy.
What's even more fatal is that Raphael is also in this team. The light of the Elf King's bow in his hand flashed, and a rebel would fall with one arrow.
The brief battle of a few minutes was as long as hours for the rebels. They finally couldn't bear the blow, shouted in a row, and began to flee in dispersion.
Charlie sneered and led his army to chase. At this moment, the entire territory of the Snow Falcon Kingdom was under control. If he didn't kill all of them, he would be too sorry for these rebels.
Roger sat upright at the head of Makur, squinting his eyes and listening to the battle report.
The war ended extremely quickly. Except for the undecided casualties of Charlie, only ninety people were killed in battle and sixty seriously injured in the siege. However, Charlie led the most elite knights, and it is hard to say whether one could die in battle.
As for the rebels, a total of more than 600 people were killed and 1,000 were captured. More than 900 people fled from the other side, and they should be intercepted by Charlie. At this moment, the captured rebels were forced to sit on the ground and formed a circle. The infantrymen of the Principal of Alay held sharp blades and watched them fiercely. Not far from the captured rebels, there were corpses of the rebels who died in battle. Hundreds of corpses seemed not many, but they were piled up together like a hill, which made people feel cold when they saw them.
Amid the cries of crying, all the citizens of Makur City were driven out of the city and gathered on the other side of the city gate. At this time, some subordinates had reported statistics from citizens: a total of 7,200 civilians of all ages.
One hundred heavy infantrymen held giant shields and battle axes, and firmly blocked the broken city gates. The way for citizens to return to the city was completely blocked.
The city's eyes were focused on Roger, on this great magician who had long been famous in the Holy Alliance, and on this fat man who could control their power of life and death.
The first time facing such a scene, Roger felt a little nervous, and his five fingers that grabbed the armrest of the seat couldn't help but use force. Suddenly, a cold and soft feeling came from his hand. He turned around and saw that Froya was smiling and quietly holding his hand. Her voice was very low, so low that only Roger could hear it.
"It's no big deal to kill some people. I'll definitely be nervous the first time, don't be afraid!"
Roger calmed down for a moment, reviewed the similar scenes in "The Biography of Powerful Ministers" in his mind again, stood up slowly, and walked up to the city wall.
It is almost dusk, sunset, cold wind, and dead trees, which seem extremely desolate.
"I think you should recognize me now, or rather, recognize me. I am Roger, the province of Rector, and the new owner of the Land of Snow Falcon. I know that many of you do not admit it, and perhaps most people refuse to admit it. But whether you admit it or not, it is already a fact."
Under the influence of the amplification magic, Rogge's low and majestic voice kept echoing.
"The name Makur has been frequently mentioned in the parliament of the Holy Alliance recently. I don't know whether it is your luck or misfortune, you have become the base for the restoration of the three principalities of the Highlands and the base for the rebels. Several principalities even began to give you a lot of support openly or secretly! Unfortunately, your strength is not as strong as you think you have. I know that you already have three thousand warriors, so I only brought three thousand warriors here. You have seen the result of the war, and you have disappointed me!"
"As your new master, I am not cruel, but not generous. Under my rule, if you shout for the hunger of your children, I will forgive you and bring you bread; if you march because of your wife's cold, I will forgive you and bring you clothes. But if you rebel because of the rights of the old princes and nobles, and kill my loyal warriors, can I forgive you?"
Roger's voice was calm, but everyone who listened was chilling.
"I never need prisoners for the rebel party!" Roger's voice was as gloomy as thunder!
The elves archers appeared on the city wall, rows of sharp arrows fell like rain, falling into the prisoners of the rebels! The prisoners jumped up one after another, cried and tried to escape, but with bare hands and tied back, how could they rush over the well-equipped Principal of Alei infantry?
They could escape the elves' rain of arrows, nor could they escape the swords and axes of the Ale infantry.
The citizens of Makur were in a state of excitement, and hundreds of people of all ages were crying and rushing towards the rebel prisoners. It was obvious that their relatives were included in the prisoners.
These people were immediately stopped by the wolf-like Alei army, but several flexible people still crossed the army's blockade and rushed towards the prisoners.
The officer who presided over the blockade changed his face, looked up at the top of the city, and just met Roger's cold gaze. He then snatched the spear of a soldier beside him and threw it out. In a blink of an eye, he nailed a teenage boy who was rushing in front to the ground!
More than a dozen spears flew out in an interlaced manner, nailing all citizens who crossed the blockade, regardless of gender, age, to the ground.
The citizens who were trying to attack the blockade suddenly became quiet, and they stared blankly at the thrust on the spear. For a moment, only the screams of the prisoners before their death were left outside the city.
The sound of hooves in the distance was rumbling. Charlie had already pursued the defeated army and returned. When he saw the massacre site outside Makur City, his face changed drastically. But at this time everything was over and all the prisoners had been killed. The soldiers of the Principal of Alay began to pile up the bodies together, piled up firewood, and prepared to set fire to set fire.
On the top of the city, Androni could no longer bear it, so she found an excuse to go down the city. Roger and the generals were still sitting there. Many of the generals showed excitement, while Roger was expressionless. His eyes had already passed the slaughterhouse and looked into the distance.
It was finally over. Roger stood up.
"Markur's citizens, my patience is limited. You have seen the consequences of the rebels! If Makur rebelled again, then there is only one ending waiting for you, that is..."
"Massacre of the city!!"
It was late at night, and the bitter cold wind could not blow away the rich bloody smell above Makur.
In Makur's lord's mansion, Charlie was excited and growled: "Why! They are prisoners, they have given up resisting! Why kill them? Massacrificing prisoners is by no means the act of knights!"
Roger smiled and said, "Okay, Charlie, don't be so excited. Of course, we must abide by the etiquette of the knights when dealing with the captives caught on the battlefield. But the rebels are not real soldiers, they are not worthy of being our enemies. I don't want my soldiers to die in the desperate battle, but instead die behind the rebels."
Charlie frowned and said, "Mr. Roger, I am not a pedantic knight. I can't even be considered a knight anymore. But if you do this, I'm afraid that all the people in Makur will hate you for generations. Bloody massacre will only suppress you for a while, but not for a lifetime! Are you really planning to massacre the city?"
Roger sighed and said, "If there is another rebellion in Makur, I will have to do this. I cannot let any rebels have fantasies and expect me to have any kindness to them. In doing so, those rebels will be more determined, but on the other hand, those rebels who are not resolute enough will think twice and will likely give up their plan of rebellion. Charlie, it is enough to be able to suppress them for a while and buy me some time."
Charlie suddenly asked, "Sir Roger, who is your real goal? Why are you so anxious?"
Roger did not answer. After a while, he asked back: "Sir Charlie, if your opponent is a giant, and his power is growing constantly every day, what can you do? You can only grow faster than it!"
Charlie thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Mr. Roger, I think I have understood. From now on, I, Charlie, will carry out any massacre!"
Roger hesitated for a moment and said, "Charlie, but you used to be..."
"That's already a thing of the past. I just want to know what happened to Lord Orpheic Roque. By the way, aren't you going to take a look at your son?"
Roger said lightly: "Let me settle down. If I go now, I will only bring bad luck to them."
It was not until long after Charlie left that Roger said softly: "I also want to know what happened..."
Froya seemed to be worried, and she walked quietly through the long corridor.
She suddenly stopped, and Androni, with a frosty face on her face, was blocking her.
"where are you going?"
Froya smiled softly, gently stroked Androni's face with her hands, and said, "I am Roger's wife, so I will naturally go to sleep with him!"
With a snap, Androni hit Froya's hand and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! You want to take revenge on me! You can do whatever you want, but why do you have to use this method?"
Froya looked at Androni's beautiful face and said softly: "Anne, I said it. Since you don't want me anymore, I don't want myself anymore. Let me go!"
As she said that, she walked through Androni and walked towards Roger's room.
"Froya!" Androni was furious. She grabbed Froya's neck and brought her over like a kitten. "I will never allow it! You are still mine now, go back with me."
Froya smiled slightly and gently stroked Androni's face. Several magic lights suddenly appeared on her body. A very strong electric current suddenly flowed through Androni's body and knocked her out.
Froya kissed Androni softly on the face of her weak body, and smiled softly, "Annie, you can't stop what I want to do."
She stood up and Yingying walked into Roger's room.
