Chapter 420: Ending

"ha?"

Randy, who was woken up late at night, sat at his desk and listened to the report of the person in front of him. He rubbed his temples with some hesitation and gave himself a spell to wake him up a little.

Then, he looked at the person in front of him and said with some hesitation and doubt.

"You mean, the Silver Empire's army, under orders from Ginza, surrounded the Ginza City Defense Force headquarters, killed some members and arrested and kidnapped all the other City Defense Forces?"

"right."

The intelligence officer nodded affirmatively and replied.

Randy frowned and continued.

"In addition, the Silver Empire's army also blocked a street and arrested all the citizens in the street?"

"right."

"Moreover, the city defense troops and citizens who resisted were all killed and impaled?"

", he was executed alive."

The intelligence officer paused, corrected some of Randy's imprecise words, and continued.

"However, the last person to be executed was dead ten minutes ago, and now they are all dead indeed.

Listening to his words, Randy couldn't hold back any longer. His expression was extremely complicated. After a moment of silence, he also began to think about why Ginza did what he did.

"I remember that the Ginza Castle Defense Force was controlled by the Shirogane family."

"Yes."

The intelligence officer nodded and said affirmatively.

"Could it be that Emperor Baiyin wants to weaken the power of the Baiyin family? But this is too rough."

Randy thought silently, but he still couldn't figure out why he did this and directly mobilized his troops to kill.

He could barely understand the idea of ​​forcing his way out of a vacant position and inserting his own people.

Anyway, it will be fine when the time comes.

But why are they still attacking citizens and punishing them with capital punishment? Could it be that they want to use violence and terror to suppress the unrest among Ginza citizens?

Randy frowned and dismissed his idea in his heart.

Impossible, this is too stupid. It's just throwing firewood into the fire. The fire will only burn bigger and bigger.

After much deliberation, Randy couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Maybe I don’t know which link it is.

Randy shook his head and ordered.

"During this period, let everyone go out as little as possible. The turmoil in Ginza has nothing to do with us. Let everyone remember the mission given to us by the chairman and remain neutral. Apart from collecting intelligence, nothing else is allowed to get involved."

"clear."

The intelligence officer nodded and silently exited the room.

After he left, Randy also stood up. He walked to the window of the room and stretched out his hand to open the window.

Looking at Ginza under the dark night, Randy blew the evening breeze silently.

Coming along with the evening wind, Randy also heard the sound of wind mixed with the faint sound of crying from a distance, full of sorrow. After hearing this sound, Randy raised his head and looked towards the source of the crying. direction.

In the direction of the distant cry, sparks were lit one after another, and countless light spots poured in from all directions.

Since the citizens began to protest, only the Imperial Palace and the Pantheon have remained bright every night in Ginza, and now, dark Ginza has a third bright spot.

If I remember correctly, that is the street that was blocked in the afternoon. It seems that the citizens of Ginza have also discovered the situation.

Randy stared at the tiny flame formed by countless light points, stretched out his right hand, as if to hold the flame born from the dark silver throne, and said softly.

"What will you do?"

When the sky gradually became brighter and the sun once again shone on Ginza, the Silver Emperor, who had been busy all night, also walked out of the room and stood at the highest point of the palace. While eating breakfast and dessert, the Silver Emperor looked leisurely at Ginza below.

Looking at the crowds of people coming and going on the street, after experiencing yesterday's lesson, the citizens of Ginza have finally become honest.

Looking at Ginza, which seemed to have returned to its usual state, the corners of the Silver Emperor's mouth slightly raised. He took a sip of warm black tea, picked up a pen, and wrote in the diary on the table.

Nothing happened today.

On the other side of Ginza, the Ginza temporary camp has been occupied by countless citizens. Citizens holding weapons and equipment are maintaining order. On the side, the soldiers and officers in the temporary camp are squatting aside.

Either they were born in Ginza and were scolded by their relatives so much that they dared not resist, or they were treated like pigs by the citizens and lost their fighting ability.

This is Ginza, the capital of the Silver Empire. Although the average strength of the citizens is not as good as the Tower of Truth,

But it is also higher than any other city in the Silver Empire. There are countless low-level extraordinary people living in the city.

Even middle-level extraordinary people live here.

Therefore, thousands of helpless soldiers faced the siege of Ginza citizens and could not hold out for long, especially since the local soldiers from Ginza turned against them on a large scale and stabbed them in the back.

In addition to this side, in another heavily guarded open space, a thousand elite cavalry and troops who had previously suppressed the veterans and led a team to surround the city defense army headquarters. Among the thousands of soldiers on the street, there were literally hundreds who were suppressing or killing in a bloody manner. The criminals were screened out, disabled and dumped here.

Under their horrified gaze, the citizens quickly placed hundreds of sharpened wooden stakes in the open space around the camp in an orderly manner.

When the bright sunlight shone on the camp, all preparations before the execution had been completed. An old four-ring spellcaster stood on the platform of the camp and said to everyone in the camp.

"Compatriots, it's daylight now. Let's execute these beasts and then go back to eat."

"good."

The citizens responded in unison, and then grabbed the soldiers who were frightened and begging for mercy, and sentenced them all to the same punishment of piercing.

Listening to their screams of execution, the citizens also left the temporary camp in an orderly manner, leaving only the old four-ring spell caster staring at the soldiers on the wooden pillars on the high platform to ensure that they all died during the execution. among.

After the citizens left, an officer cautiously approached among the soldiers squatting nearby.

Said softly.

"Old...Teacher, you..."

"Don't call me teacher. I'm not worthy of being your teacher. You are a general appointed by the empire, and I can't reach that high."

The fourth-ring spell caster didn't even look at him and said coldly,

After hearing what he said, the officer knelt directly in front of him and said in a low voice.

"Teacher, don't say that, you will always be my teacher."

The four-ringed spell caster glared at him, picked up the old staff, hit his back, and cursed.

"Look at what kind of thing you are bringing. You can't even control your own soldiers?! A bunch of beasts, they don't even spare children. They are our comrades, not enemies!"

The officer lowered his head and accepted his blows honestly.

The fourth-ring spellcaster still regarded him as his apprentice. Although he tried hard, he didn't really want to kill him with magic power.

After two hits, the fourth-ring spell caster also took back his staff, snorted coldly, and said.

"Hmph, tell me. I taught you it anyway. Don't tell me you don't know anything."

"Before entering the city, Ginza suddenly ordered the army to be divided according to ethnic groups and regions..."

The officer said honestly.

Upon hearing this, the four-ringed spellcaster glared at him and cursed.

"Idiot, you can't see the problem when it's so obvious. Just keep talking. What next?"

"Yes, after entering the city, I was dragged by several officers to discuss the issue of rewards. Taking advantage of this opportunity, someone took the transfer order from Ginza and directly mobilized the army without me."

the officer whispered.

The fourth-ring spellcaster glanced at him, put a token into his hand, and said.

"Idiot, you didn't know you were tricked. Take this, here is the new transfer order. Now take your headquarters and leave Ginza immediately. Before the results come out, no matter who ordered it, don't come back. As for those who want to get involved, You idiots, just leave them alone, they will die here sooner or later."

"The rewards for soldiers...

The officer said hesitantly.

The fourth-ring spell caster glared at him and cursed.

"Didn't you get all the rewards? Just take them away. Don't you think the commendation ceremony can still be held?"

"I see."

The officer nodded to show his understanding, then looked up at him again and said.

"Teacher, what about you?"

"Me? As long as you stay well outside, no one will do anything to me."

The four-ring spell casters patted him on the back and cursed.

"Silly boy, get out of here."

The officer nodded honestly, and then, according to the caster's words, he took the new transfer order and quickly withdrew from Ginza with his own troops.

After the four-ring spell casters visually confirmed that all the soldiers executed in the camp were dead, he slowly left the camp. He stayed in the camp for three days and three nights without anyone to give them. Close the account.

Because they died quietly, with the tacit understanding of the citizens and all forces, these corpses were not known to the situation in the temporary camp until Emperor Baiyin's envoy arrived at the camp.

After learning this, Emperor Shirogane was naturally furious, but due to the obstruction of the Shirogane family and the fact that it was the will of all the citizens of Ginza to execute them, his anger was of no use.

In the end, they could only send people to collect their bodies in despair. Then, the day after all the corpses were collected, the warehouse where the corpses were kept suddenly caught fire, and all the corpses were burned and quickly cleaned up. , and all the ashes were thrown into the garbage.

After the citizens of Ginza retaliated and all the troops were withdrawn, Ginza returned to normal life.

At this point, the apparent riot barely came to an end.

From the initial dispatch of the army to suppress the veterans to the resistance and revenge of Ginza citizens, the events in Ginza in just a few dozen days have opened up everyone's eyes.

No one can imagine that such an outrageous thing would happen in the capital of the most powerful country in Sinar.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Silver Emperor had not been a high-level spellcaster, the citizen riots in Ginza might not have ended so easily.

Roland also paid close attention to what was happening in the Silver Empire.

However, Roland's main concern is the veterans and their families who are fleeing eastward. There are hundreds of thousands of people, which is not a small number.

Therefore, Roland decisively mobilized the resources and strength of the committee and sent a large number of resources to support their escape.

As for the civil unrest in Ginza, Roland just watched it for fun. After all, Ginza was too far away. Even if there was a Ginza Unrestricted Fighting Competition, it would not be of any benefit to the committee, and it might even be harmful.

Only a stable Silver Empire can allow the War Council to continue dumping and plundering. Fortunately, with the restraint of Ginza citizens and various forces, Ginza did not really become chaotic.

As for veterans.

Although the committee could not directly mobilize troops to escort them, relying on the sugar trade and internal economic construction and development, the war committee now had plenty of money and directly spent money to hire mercenary groups composed of veterans to escort the veterans to escape.

Moreover, the army cannot come in, and the committee can send a small number of extraordinary people there. And through the interest network established through the sugar trade, the committee also uses coercion and inducement to aristocrats and officials from various places to make them turn a blind eye to the fleeing veterans. Eyes and sending personnel to establish supply points along the way.

The War Council also assisted the Glowing Knights in obtaining permission and recognition from the Pantheon. The Pantheon issued a public order requesting that localities not block the migration of veterans. At the same time, the Glowing Knights also stopped most of their affairs and mobilized A large number of knights assisted in the migration of veterans.

In addition, the war committee also contacted the border nobles in the buffer zone and tried to get them to join the escort.

As new nobles who emerged from the War of Roses, the border nobles were promoted to nobles based on their military merits, but as cannon fodder selected by the Silver Empire to deal with the Green Tide, they have not forgotten where they came from.

As for the new nobles who have forgotten, they will not be thrown into the dangerous buffer zone.

Therefore, most of the border nobles still sympathize with the veterans. Even though they have become nobles, just like the veterans are ostracized, they are also ostracized by the aristocratic circle of the Silver Empire.

Even a count who is a noble in the border area will be looked down upon by a baron in the Silver Empire from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, when the war committee provides weapons, equipment and food supplies, the border nobles do not recommend helping their brothers.

As cannon fodder thrown here, the border nobles enjoy a high degree of autonomy and military power. Each noble,

Even a baron has unlimited power to form an army and has military access rights throughout the Silver Empire.

Originally, the Silver Empire thought well. Under the threat of the green tide, the border nobles would definitely form an army at any cost, so that they could resist for a while longer. And even if they lost control, it would be the border princes who would suffer.

What does it have to do with Ginza?

So, relying on the special military rights granted by the Silver Empire to treat them as cannon fodder, the border nobles organized a coalition, raised the banner of helping the veterans, marched westward openly, entered the territory of the vassal states, and escorted The veterans fled eastward.

Therefore, when Ginza was caught in civil unrest and had no time to pay attention, the War Committee was quietly working hard.

Constantly attracting these fleeing refugees.
