Chapter 2811 The Day the City Breaks (Ⅱ)

The city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond think it's none of my business, so they can be alone?

Anyone who thinks so is naive.

On the day Leiden Port City was broken, the first troops to enter the city to fight the vanguard were the cavalry division led by Isaac Hooker.

Perhaps this group of traitors who betrayed the independent revolution and joined the enemy were eager to prove their loyalty to their new masters. After entering the city, they raised their butcher knives at the old folks, slaughtered them, raped and looted in the city, and did everything. The Feizhen regular army in the city is even more brutal!

Through the window, Master Rawls saw a fire in the residential area near the city gate, thick smoke billowing, figures of cavalry galloping on the street, wielding knives and shooting wantonly massacre passers-by. Mixed with moaning and crying.

All kinds of ominous signs he heard and witnessed made the mage, who has always been kind to others, feel uneasy, and quickly sent "short message techniques" to his students to ask if they were all right.

Not long after, Thomas, Edward, Allen and others hurried back to school covered in blood. Together with the students were volunteers who resisted the invading army on the street, such as Xiaomao, Azhi and Benny.

Master Rawls was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that his student had returned safely, but received another bad news.

"Mentor! The traitor Hook's men are rushing towards the academy, please inform the teachers and students who are staying at the school to evacuate!" Edward said eagerly.

"Ah? The enemy army won't be able to massacre in the school, right? This is too outrageous... Alan, you have studied law, destroying non-military facilities like universities and massacring innocent civilians. Is this a violation? The International War Convention?"

Hearing this bookish question from the mentor, the young warlock couldn't help but laugh.

"My dear mentor, when is this, and you still expect to speak the law to the red-eyed invaders? Please, those inhuman thugs are simply unreasonable!"

The persuasion of the students, coupled with the bloody reality he witnessed just now, forced Master Rawls to admit that he was too pedantic, and hurriedly cast a spell to inform all the teachers and students staying at the academy to gather in the auditorium as soon as possible, before the enemy army arrived. Run away together.

People quickly gathered in the auditorium, most of them looked panicked. Considering that the city of Leiden has been surrounded by enemy troops, everyone is worried that there may not be a way to escape safely out of the city.

The royalists also came after hearing the news, but they sneered at Master Rawls's concerns, made it clear that they would not participate in their escape plan, carried the national flag of Feizhen, walked out of the auditorium confidently, and went straight to the school gate to meet Master Wang .

If what appeared in front of them was the regular army of Fiji, which was relatively strict in military discipline, and perhaps commanded by a sober officer, these royalists might be able to receive courtesy and get what they wanted.

It's a pity that they were really unlucky, as soon as they left the school, they ran into General Hook who was looting.

General Hooker and the "two devils" under his command were so jealous that they didn't bother to distinguish whether it was the independents or the royalists on the opposite side, and it didn't matter whether you were carrying the flag of the Continental Army or the flag of Feizhen. Together, they raised their guns and fired without saying a word.

"Don't shoot! Your own people—your own people!"

The royalists at the school gate also tried to identify themselves, but it was of no use. There was another burst of gunshots from the opposite side, interrupting their appeal. In a blink of an eye, they were dead on the street, bleeding everywhere.

General Hook was expressionless, swung his saber forward, and led the cavalry to step over the bones of the royalists and charged into the campus aggressively.

In fact, he didn't care about whether there were independents hiding on the campus, but he was more concerned about how much money was available in the warehouses of Leiden College, and how much property was looted in the mansions of the professors.

If there is no benefit to be gained, why should I recommend myself to the governor to be a pioneer?

The brothers under him turned against him and jumped left and right between the two camps, isn't it just to get rich!

From General Hooker's point of view, most of the revolutionaries these days are poor, and they have nothing to lose anyway. It is better to risk their lives and make a scene, maybe they can win glory and wealth.

On the contrary, the royalists who advocate maintaining order and oppose violent revolution in the New World are mostly those who have vested interests in the existing order and are not wealthy. How do you qualify to be a royalist?

Pooh! Poor ghost, do you deserve to be a royalist? !

If these royalists were not "manslaughter", how could there be a legitimate reason to keep their inheritance for them?

In the auditorium of the college, Master Rawls witnessed his colleagues being massacred by the rebels at the school gate through the scouting crystal ball.

"Mentor, don't be in a daze. If we don't leave quickly, we will die on the street like those fools in a short time!" Thomas said with a wry smile.

"Uh...yes, we have to leave quickly."

Master Rawls came back to his senses, opened the storage bag immediately, counted the "Teleportation" scrolls, looked up at the crowd in the auditorium, and couldn't help showing embarrassment.

"There are no less than two hundred people here, we don't have so many teleportation scrolls to take everyone away!"

Everyone present, with their own mana, only Master Rawls, a level 14 mage, and his two students Thomas and Edward—both level 11 mages—can cast the 5-ring "teleportation technique" with their own mana.

Leiden College is a comprehensive university with so many majors that you can count on two hands. Arcana and Theology are just two of the relatively small majors. Among the teachers and students in the school, the ratio of spellcasters is less than 1/10 , more teachers and students of regular majors such as law, medicine, literature, art, mathematics, architecture and business.

The students and teachers of these majors have their own strengths in peacetime, and their status is not much lower than that of spellcasting majors. However, when it comes to escaping, frankly speaking, they are really useless.

Most of the teachers and students majoring in spellcasting at Leiden College have already left the school for refuge. Now only a few friends and students of Master Rawls are left here. There are less than ten spellcasters in total. Even if everyone uses scrolls To cast "Teleportation", there are not so many scrolls available.

This is how to do?

According to the distribution of teleportation places according to the relationship between distant and close, how many can be saved, and the others will be left alone?

This approach is indeed cruel, but it is probably the most rational choice at present. However, with the character of Master Rawls... he never considered selectively abandoning certain people at all.

"It's a pity that Joan isn't here, otherwise the kid would have come up with a good way to take everyone away safely."

Faced with the dilemma that he was unable to solve, Master Rawls missed his most outstanding student. Now that Joan is thousands of miles away in the Far East, should he send a "SMS" to ask him to come back and help?
