Netheril’s Glory - Chapter 137: Burst through.
The development of this sudden situation had exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Bilan and Dickie were also dumbfounded, but this was not exactly a good time to be in a daze, as the fire was still burning fiercely, and in another sudden turn of event, dozens of figures suddenly burst out of the refugees who were still in a trance state.
Among those figures that burst out suddenly, there were old and young, male and female, but they had one thing in common, which was that they were all ordinary people. However, at this moment, as they were running toward the city gate, their speed was beyond the physical capacity of ordinary people.
The previous incident was so sudden that no one had time or mind to stop these crazy runners, and they reached the city gate almost without any hindrance and then blew themselves up.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The continuous explosion sound was the perfect depiction of the word earth-shattering.
The city gate, made with ordinary hardwood and a thin layer of iron, couldn’t withstand the multiple self-detonations that were comparable to a missile barrage.
Unsurprisingly, when the breeze cleared the smoke away, the only thing that was left of the city gate was a few charred woodblocks.
“The city gate is broken. Hurry up and grab some food, and don’t forget to teach those bastard nobles an unforgettable lesson.”
Just as the refugees and the city guards woke up from their daze by the loud explosion sound, the leading older man standing among the protesters actually took out an enchanted loudspeaker, and with his strong voice, begun to speak loudly. A few people around him also began to express their agreement loudly:
“Yes, let’s hurry up and take whatever we want, then we will leave this area. The nobles of Dolez will not be able to catch us.”
“Quick, the treasures, food, and women of those nobles are now all ours.”
“Your family members who have been sold are still locked up in the dungeons of those nobles. Please rescue them quickly, or it will be too late.”
These few people’s words hit the right spot in all the refugee’s hearts. They had just experienced the despair of watching their life-saving food being burned to asses, experienced the anger of being insulted by the nobles, and accumulated helplessness from being forced to sell their loved ones. So now, the words of the leading older man and his associates were like a blazing torch thrown into hot oil, and the madness that was suppressed in the refugees’ hearts was instantly ignited.
People, if desperate and also being tormented by hunger, could easily discard reason.
The refugees, who were at this moment desperate, hungry, and angry, didn’t bother to think about the strangeness of the situation or consider the consequences in the future, and the only thing that was in their hearts was: “Take.”
“Damn noblemen, I want to kill all of them.”
“Yes, and we also have to take away all their treasures.”
“Everyone, hurry up. After all this, we will run away separately, then that group of dog city guards will not be able to catch us.”
“Son of a bitch noble, return my granddaughter to me…”
A large number of refugees rushed through the city gate frantically. They tore up a dozen city guards who had come to a stop them with their nails and then poured into the city of Dolez like locusts.
Even the most honest refugees in the past had their faces distorted at this time and were yelling, “Kill all the nobles.”
“It’s messed up. It’s all messed up.”
The leader of the city guard on the city wall didn’t even bother to drag away nobleman Zweig, who was still laughing crazily. He anxiously grabbed a scout next to him with red eyes and roared:
“Don’t just stand here; go ask for support. You useless idiots can’t even do a single thing properly. Why haven’t you informed those noble professional masters yet? Even this I have to tell you personally?”
The little scout whose face was sprayed with guard leader’s spit cried out his report breathlessly:
“Report…report…report, first team, second team, third team…seven teams of city guards, and all employed professionals…all went to attack the remnants of the Ti Xiaer Church.”
“Damn it, then hurry up and ask the three official-level lords for help.”
“This…report, Lord guardian, Lord Punk, and lord Kang Kai, also left Dolez to pursue the remnants of the Ti Xiaer Church.”
Hearing this answer, the leader of the city guard put down the little scout with a gloomy face and sat down on the ground.
He only felt dizzy in his mind. At this moment, even if he was not a strategic master, he could see that Dolez City had fallen into a big conspiracy, and he was powerless to stop it.
The wave of refugees cannot be resisted by his small group of guards. What’s more, many professionals who had been ill and had now recovered also decided to take advantage of this opportunity. So now, in the current situation, the 20,000 crazy and desperate refugees were simply unstoppable.
At this time, who were even more helpless were the group of Dickie, Bilan, and Lo Lan, who was entrapped amongst the 20,000 people flocking to a small city gate. They were in the middle of the refugees, so they had no choice but to follow the refugees and were squeezed into the city of Dolez through the small city gate like toothpaste.
What was even more concerning was that Lo Lan was separated from her knight guard and the old butler, so now there were only the three young people holding hands in the vast sea of people, but apart from Bilan’s skills, Dickie and Lo Lan had no fighting power at all.
“What should we do?”
Lo Lan was so anxious that even as an eccentric person, she was almost about to cry, and her head was completely blank at this time.
“What are you saying?”
“I said, what, should, we, do, next?”
This time Dickie finally heard it clearly, and while trying to keep hold of Bilan and Lo Lan’s small hands to avoid being scattered in the crowd, he said in a loud voice:
“We have to save innocent people. These refugees may harm the innocent in their anger, and we can’t let that happen.”
Hearing these words, Bilan and Lo Lan both nodded vigorously. Their minds were all in a mess, so they didn’t have much opinion of their own.
“Okay, we will listen to you.”
The two girls said in unison.
————–
At the same time, in the center of Dolez City, several ordinary civilian houses were surrounded by many city guards, and several priests and professionals stood in front of them. All of them were in a vigilant state.
This kind of scene could be seen throughout the city of Dolez. These fenced houses, shops, and even noble houses were all Ti Xiaer Church’s strongholds that were disclosed by minister Hutt.
When the senior officials of Dolez City heard the news for the first time, they were shocked and speechless. They couldn’t imagine that the Dolez City, which had been well defended in their impression, was actually infiltrated to this extent.
At present, almost all of the fighting power of Dolez City was mobilized to encircle all the Ti Xiaer Church’s stronghold in the city, and now they were just waiting for news from Punk and the others because they planned to attack Ti Xiaer Church simultaneously.
At one of the largest encirclement points, the bishop of the Church of Tyr in Dolez city, Huo Delai, was sitting on horseback and was ready. He firmly believed that with the blessing of the god of justice and with his leadership, such an unknown clown like Ti Xiaer would not even be able to withstand a single blow.
However, when the sun Mira was halfway up, and he was about to give the order to attack, thick smoke suddenly appeared in the direction of the main gate of Dolez City.
“What happened?”
Huo Delai frowned. He thought that someone disobeyed the order and attacked early. Although it was not a big problem to attack early, as a believer of Tyr, he couldn’t bear this kind of undisciplined behavior.
So he decided to use a divine spell to investigate who the person that disobeyed the order was.
“Order is the most important thing in the world, and those who do not follow the order must be educated.”
Thinking this, bishop Huo Delai cast the trainee-level divine spell- Secondary divine ascertainment.
