Game of the World Tree - Chapter 896

896. Chapter 892 What They Give, You Can’t Give
Mania City, the base of the Amway Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at the magic fireworks that suddenly exploded in the sky, the players who were discussing the details of the action plan in two days were slightly stunned.
“Why did they send the signal now? Didn’t they say it would start in two days?”
Zhu Zhu frowned.
They attached great importance to this action and made full preparations, but the time was too short after all, and there were still many things that had not been arranged in these two days.
Especially the work on the city defense, it has not yet been replaced by the “own people” of the Seventh Legion, and it is still the soldiers loyal to the empire who are in charge.
Not to mention, the divine defense barrier nodes on the city wall have not been destroyed. Mania City uses the most complex and powerful defense barrier, and the nodes are distributed in the city. Once activated, it is almost indestructible.
That is the most terrifying thing. As the holy city of the Eternal Church, the divine defense barrier has terrifying energy. Once it is activated, the uprising can basically be declared a failure.
Thinking of the various unfinished tasks now, for a while, the players all looked solemn.
“Could it be… something went wrong?”
Caesar guessed.
“I’ll contact the players hiding in the legion and ask what happened.”
Demacia thought for a moment and said.
After a while, his expression changed slightly:
“The operation has been exposed. There is a traitor in the Seventh Legion. Our deputy commander Bowen who instigated the rebellion was killed. The Grand Commander Wolf is leading the guards to hunt down the senior officers who instigated the rebellion. The remaining senior officers decided to revolt in advance.”
As soon as this was said, the players’ faces were stern.
“Oh no! Doesn’t that mean the plan is likely to fail?”
A player said worriedly.
Demacia shook his head slightly:
“Things haven’t reached the worst point yet. Bowen has always been cautious. Except for the few guard captains who are the most trusted and have the most devout faith, the other senior officers of the resistance army don’t know how many participants there are. They know very little. So, we still have a chance! Of course, the action must be advanced.”
“We can’t wait. The Seventh Legion is very important. It is related to the smooth progress of the next operation. We must also plan in advance!”
said Zhu Zhu with a serious expression.
“I will contact the informant of the mercenary guild now and ask the three large mercenary groups nearby to pick up the rebels of the Seventh Legion!”
Cyber said hurriedly.
“I will go and notify the underground believers in the city.”
Zhu Zhu also stood up from his seat.
“Then I will take the remaining players to try to sneak into the tower to see if we can take back the control of the city gate and destroy the nodes of the defense barrier.”
Demacia added.
After speaking, he looked at everyone again:
“Everyone, the action is hasty, and we have to grab a lot of strength. When necessary, don’t feel sorry for the resurrection coins.”
“Don’t worry.” “
That’s
right, we are here to witness the history of Segus.”
The players said one after another.
“Okay! Then everyone will act separately and keep in touch online!”
Demacia was overjoyed.
“No problem!”
“OK!”
“Don’t worry!”
After speaking, the players changed into black windbreaker robes and falcon hoods with golden scepters, looking like assassins in some large-scale ACT games, very mysterious and handsome.
It is said that this assassin costume was specially customized by Demacia, and each player who participated in this event received one.
Then, everyone put on the golden armband on their right arm, picked up weapons that were convenient for movement, and left the base one after another.
…
The garrison of the Seventh Legion.
Grand Commander Wolf, surrounded by the guards, stood in front of the legion’s camp, looking very ugly.
The camp was in chaos, and the imperial soldiers were divided into two distinct factions, fighting each other.
Among them, most of them wore golden armbands on their right arms. They were fanatical and were fighting with the guards loyal to the Grand Commander under the leadership of senior officers.
One by one, the flags that were obviously prepared long ago were raised high and waved continuously.
The flag was red, with a golden scepter of life painted on it, fluttering in the wind.
Wolf’s face became more gloomy.
Looking at the guards who were constantly retreating under the suppression of the rebels, he snorted angrily, drew out his sword, and raised it high:
“My knights! Follow me and suppress these mobs!”
Behind him, the golden knights who were loyal to the Wolf family raised their weapons and followed him to join the battle.
Most of these golden knights were low-level nobles and powerful. When they joined the battle, the rebels, whose average strength was only below the silver level, were instantly under great pressure.
A trace of chaos began to appear in the team.
The action was too hasty after all.
Although the senior officers had been prepared for a long time, the soldiers were different.
Even though most of the soldiers had a good impression of the Church of Life, many of them were not mentally prepared to resist.
However, at this time, a young senior officer stood up.
He raised the flag of resistance high, waving it while roaring:
“Brothers! For equality, for freedom! For a beautiful and pure future! Charge!”
After speaking, golden light bloomed on his body, and a hidden wave spread out, and the morale of the rebels covered by it was boosted, and they felt full of strength.
It was an eight-ring area-enhancing magic [Morale Boost].
Seeing the young officer’s appearance, Wolfe was furious.
He recognized him as the young officer he had placed high hopes on, a golden knight who practiced both magic and martial arts and was good at area-enhancing magic.
“Fabian!”
he gritted his teeth.
With a hint of viciousness in his eyes, he snatched the longbow from a soldier, tightened the bowstring, and shot an arrow in Fabian’s direction.
The arrows with the brilliance of the skill shot out like a stream, bringing up waves, passing through the crowd, and directly hitting the chest of the senior officer.
“Captain Fabian!”
The surrounding rebels exclaimed.
Fabian looked painful. He looked at the fatal wound as big as a bowl on his chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, and slowly fell down.
However, just when the flag in his hand was about to fall, another senior officer stood up.
With red eyes, he took the flag, waving it while roaring:
“Brothers, charge! Revenge for Fabian! Revenge for Captain Bowen!”
“Long live life! Long live equality! Eliminate these corrupt nobles!”
With the roar of the senior officers, the rebel soldiers once again boosted their morale.
With red eyes and ferocious expressions, they shouted “Long live life! Long live equality!” while rushing towards Wolfe’s guards one after another.
Seeing these usually carefree legionnaires bursting out with unprecedented fighting spirit and will, Wolfe widened his eyes, full of disbelief.
He didn’t understand what kind of black magic the Church of Life had cast on these bastards to make them so crazy.
“Crazy… all crazy!”
He cursed, while cutting down the rebel soldiers who rushed up, and looked at the guards beside him.
“Have you notified the nearby mercenary groups? Tell them to come and help suppress the rebels here! Also, send a signal to warn the city guards to close the city gates! Activate the divine defense barrier!”
Wolfe roared.
There are three large mercenary groups stationed outside the city of Mannia.
They often accept the Empire’s conscription and assist the Imperial Legion in various wars. So although they are not the Imperial Army, they are no different from the Imperial Legion in many cases.
The number of rebels who mutinied far exceeded Wolfe’s imagination, and the number of senior legions who revolted was far from those in the intelligence. At this moment, Wolfe even suspected that most of the soldiers and officers of the entire legion might have defected.
Although his personal strength is very strong, and although the knights loyal to his family are stronger than the officers of the legion on average, there will be no qualitative change unless they become legendary.
The power of an individual is still a little insignificant in front of the collective. Facing the rebels who keep coming like huge waves, Wolfe is under increasing pressure.
The situation is completely out of control…
Wolfe led his guards and kept retreating under the counterattack of the rebels, and was forced out of the camp step by step.
On the ground, the earth has been stained with blood, which is left by the bodies of the rebels. They suffered even more heavy losses, but the huge sacrifice did not wipe out their fighting spirit.
“Mad men! These crazy men!”
Looking at the soldiers with ferocious expressions, Wolfe’s facial features were distorted, but in the depths of his pupils, there was an inexplicable trace of fear.
He didn’t understand.
He really didn’t understand.
He didn’t understand why these soldiers, as the imperial guards and the best-treated soldiers, rebelled and resisted…
Obviously, they only needed to listen to orders and obey.
However, now, these soldiers who usually dared not to speak in front of the nobles dared to point their swords at them!
Wolf was at a loss.
Of course, he would never know what the soldiers of civilian origin wanted.
He did not know that what he thought was a good treatment was just enough for many soldiers to maintain their food and clothing.
He did not know that the strict hierarchy and the contradictions between the nobles and the commoners had long been buried in the army, but they had always been suppressed because of the powerful power of the nobles.
When the new decree was issued, when the families and friends of the soldiers were affected, when dissatisfaction was brewing rapidly in their hearts, the anger that had been accumulated for an unknown period of time finally broke out.
At this time, the arrival of the Life Church allowed them to see another beautiful new world in their descriptions, and ignited a new power and a new belief in their hearts…
An army that did not know why it was fighting was completely different from an army with ideals and beliefs.
“Stop them! Stop them!”
Wolf shouted with his sword raised.
The rebels pressed on step by step, and there were fewer and fewer knights around him. Although they were strong individually,
under the archers’ “care”, even he was exhausted from blocking again and again.
“Where are the mercenaries?! Where are those three damn mercenaries?! Why haven’t they arrived yet?”
He asked with red eyes.
“Master, they should be here soon!”
said the Royal Guard Knight.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot in the head by a stray arrow and fell to the ground.
“Klein!”
Looking at the noble guards who fell to the ground, Wolf’s expression was painful.
His eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said:
“Damn rebels! Damn Life Church!”
He took a deep breath, and his eyes swept through the rebels who were gathering more and more. A trace of unwilling retreat flashed in Wolf’s eyes.
He bit his lip and no longer insisted, but raised his sword and ordered:
“Retreat! We retreat!”
With his order, the Royal Guard Knights escorted him and began to rush out of the camp.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves, footsteps, and the collision of weapons and armor came from afar.
Wolfe hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, and saw dust rising from the ground in another direction.
Soon, a large number of mercenary cavalry and professional mercenaries with various equipment appeared in his sight.
Three different flags fluttered in the mercenary team.
They were three large mercenary groups stationed in another direction.
At this moment, they finally arrived.
Seeing the mercenaries, Count Wolfe was overjoyed.
“Tim! Finn! Maximilian! Come to support! Suppress these rebels!”
he shouted.
Those were the names of the three mercenary group leaders, who were riding horses and rushing to the front.
However, before Wolfe finished speaking, he saw the three leaders suddenly raised the crossbows in their hands and shot them in the direction of him and the Royal Guard Knights without hesitation.
With a few whooshes, the three Royal Guard Knights were killed on the spot.
Count Wolfe was stunned, and then he became furious:
“Assholes! What are you doing? Are you going to rebel too?! Have you forgotten the payment I paid you?!”
The leader of the largest mercenary group and the leader of the three mercenary groups, “Hound” Tim stood up.
He put away the crossbow in his hand, looked at Count Wolfe and his guards expressionlessly, and said lightly:
“Sir Wolfe, I’m sorry, the rebels paid a higher commission than you in advance, so… we are loyal to them now.”
Wolfe was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily:
“Assholes! Untamed hyenas! How many gold pounds did they give you? I’ll pay you three times!”
“No, Sir Wolfe, you can’t afford the price they offer.”
The leader of the mercenary group shook his head slightly.
Count Wolfe was so angry that he laughed:
“Ridiculous! They are just a bunch of civilians, how much money can they have?! Tim, name your price! We in the Wolfe family have plenty of money!”
“I told you, you can’t give them what they give.”
Tim shook his head gently.
Wolfe’s expression instantly turned ugly:
“What did they give you? Two million gold pounds? Or three million gold pounds?!”
“No…”
Tim shook his head gently again.
While taking out a piece of golden armband and putting it on his right arm, he said solemnly:
“What they gave is equality and freedom, a bright future…”
Wolfe paused slightly and was stunned for a moment.
If someone is exposed, some people will say that it is a way of suppressing before praising, which is meaningless, forced sensationalism and forced sacrifice.
If I don’t write it, I guess someone will say it’s fake, saying it’s too smooth, saying that if there is such a large-scale uprising, it is impossible not to be exposed.
I’m sorry, but I have tried my best. I can only write this way.
I have something to do tonight, so I will update it earlier.
