Chapter 111 Fanatics(1/2)
"For the God Emperor!"
When this craze slogan rang, Hickrad and I were strolling on the most beautiful Piazza Drasius in the Central District.
The night here is very beautiful. The fountains and sculptures carefully carved by famous artists are simply works of art. In addition to us, there are many families here, enjoying the precious wonderful time during the war.
But all this was ruined by the madman in the Inquisition.
I don't know how they crossed the cordon, and when the slogan rang, two people covered in grenades rushed to me and Hickrad.
Their bodies began to emit a rich golden divine light, and Hiclard and I had only time to open a shield, hoping to minimize the damage they caused to this area as much as possible.
The strong divine light burst out, and together with the grenades, it caused an extremely terrible explosion. Hickrad and I were not seriously injured, but the entire Drasius Square had been destroyed halfway.
There was thick smoke and fire everywhere. Many families who were enjoying the night in the square were killed on the spot. The remains of human limbs flew around. In addition to the burnt smell, there was also a strong smell of blood in the air.
"Damn it!"
I pulled out the broken steel and glanced at the surroundings with red eyes. God is above, and I have never hated an organization so much.
Now, I wish I could snatch all the people in the court to relieve my hatred.
I looked at Hickrad, his face was also extremely pale. (Hill: In fact, I was also shocked by the beastly conduct of the Inquisition, and I never thought that this so-called religious institution could do such a terrible thing.)
I understand that he is the same as mine, and that is an innocent people! There are even many children among them!
I don't know how I left Piazza Drasius, and when I woke up again, I was already standing in Rana's room, with broken steel on his neck.
"What's going on, Saren?" Rana looked at me confusedly, then looked at Hickrad beside me, "What's wrong with you?"
"Let's take your troops tonight and we will go to the dock area immediately." I said coldly.
"Now?" Rana showed an incredible expression, "But our troops have not yet been rested and have no re-elected!"
"Do you go?" I roared, and Duangang pulled a bloody mark on his neck, "If you don't go, I'll kill you now!"
"What the hell is wrong!" Rana stood up with her neck thorns, "If you don't explain it clearly, Salenovez, I will never agree, even if you kill me!"
I looked at Hickrad, he shook his head at me, I took a deep breath and calmed down my mood.
"Very good, you want to know what happened? Then I'll tell you what happened."
I mentioned Rana and carried him to the wall, "Just just now," I pointed out the window with broken steel, "It's in Piazza Drasius! Two madmen from the Inquisition rushed in and turned themselves into a divine bomb! They exploded with the grenades on their bodies!"
I put Rana down and kicked him to the ground, "What are your Strand's troops doing for!"
"Do you know how many civilians died there?" I kicked out again, Rana coughed twice, and a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Enough, enough! Saren!" Hickrad hugged me tightly, "Stop kicking! If you kick him again, you will die!"
"Huh," I took a few deep breaths, "You're right, Hill," I calmed down and squatted down, "Are you willing to go out with us now?"
"I do," Lanar looked at me ashamed, "I will let Leclerc go first, his troops will be the least damaged."
"very good."
◇◇◇◇◇
"They retreated! They retreated!"
Cheers came from the entrance to the dock area. The battle at the entrance did not last long. The morale of the Rebels and the Inquisition was obviously not as high as the Imperial soldiers had expected. Only some fanatics posed some threats to us, just as we had encountered in Piazza Drasius before.
After a slightly rapid horn sound, all the enemy troops who could still retreat were as fast as possible to retreat and retreated to the main building complex in the dock area, which was a large industrial port. On such a night, this was the home court of those fanatics.
A battalion of Leclerc immediately took over the area, with halberd soldiers wearing Morrien's helmets, plate armor, swordsmen holding long swords and round shields.
Some of them began to carry sandbags and build fortifications under the command of the squad leader wearing beautiful feathers. Unlike before, this time the fortifications were stronger, with more weapons such as steam guns and muskets. Only these things can help us block the damn fanatics.
Another group of people began to clean the battlefield, buried fallen friendly forces, executed the enemy troops who had not yet died, and gathered up their bodies and weapons.
Not long after, a simple campsite appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the dock area.
I took off the Morion helmet on my head, which looked extremely beautiful and fancy, especially after being inserted into bright feathers.
Of course, the defense of this kind of helmet is not bad. At least the lead bullets fired by ordinary imperial rifles cannot easily penetrate these helmets, let alone those submachine guns that use small-caliber lead bullets.
Tied his helmet around his waist, and I walked towards Leclerc, who was issuing orders to his non-commissioned officer. He looked very energetic, but he was not very emotional. I guess it was because of the battle just now that these damn Inquisitionists used the tactics that were really angered by both humans and gods.
"Ah, you're here, Mr. Saren," Leclerc saw me and waved at me with a wry smile, "Please join us, I'm just talking about you. And, maybe the next time you convince Mr. Rana, can you use a gentler approach? He can only lie in the field hospital now."
"Respectful and brave gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Salenoves, the great hero of the previous battle in the commercial district," he pulled me to everyone, "maybe there are many new people among you, but I hope you can respect and cooperate with Mr Salenoves."
"Salute to you, respectful Mr. Salon."
"Salute to you, I have long heard of your great victory in the commercial area. Your bravery image has also been deeply rooted in people's hearts." These newly added non-commissioned officers took off their helmets to show their respect for me, and the voices full of praise also rang one after another.
This scene in front of me surprised me. If I could understand it last time, but this time... the target of these fanatics is me. If it weren't for me, this disaster wouldn't have happened.
"Don't put what those lunatics do on yourself, Mr. Saren, you don't know when they will appear," Leclerc smiled. "You have a good reputation in the Strand civil and military. Everyone admires your contribution to us. Besides," he coughed twice. "The main responsibility for this matter is still with the Strand military."
"Let's talk about the battle plan," Leclerc pulled the topic back in time after a small discussion. "It's different from the defenders in the commercial district before, the defenders here are filled with damn fanatics, and they even kidnap civilians..."
He said this and punched the table in front of him, "And they knew that Mr. Saren was here, and they would launch a fierce attack on Mr. Saren at any cost."
He pulled out the dagger from his waist and plunged hard into the icon symbolizing the dock area on the map. "Gentlemen, this battle will be a damn tough battle. Our enemies are also a group of madmen. I hope you can make all preparations and stop those fanatics. As long as you solve all the fanatics here, we will basically take the dock area."
"Of course," he turned to me again, "we should rely on Mr. Saren in preventing the fanatic from causing more damage."
"Do you have this confidence, Mr. Saren?"
"Of course," I walked forward with a smile and pulled the dagger out of the map. "I am confident that I will defeat the enemy fanatics in a short time, at least they will not be able to touch you. Of course, if there are too many, I will be powerless."
"Very good, Captain Krien, I need ten teams under the First Team to deal with the fanatics with Mr. Saren, clear out the towers that hide soldiers, and save civilians as much as possible so that they are not turned into by the fanatics..., and others are responsible for attacking the docks. Is there any problem?"
"No problem!"
All the captains responded loudly, putting on their helmets.
"Very good!" Leclerc laughed twice, put on a full-covered plate armor helmet like them, carefully inserted bright feathers, and then picked up the heavy shield placed at his feet.
"For the glory of Strand! Please fight to the death! Drasius' explosion has already caused us a lot of shame! We must regain our glory with our own hands!"
"For Strand! For our glory!"
All the captains and Leclerc pulled out their swords, tied them together in the air, and then fell heavily. I put on Morrien's high-top helmet again, picked up my warhammer and rifle, and under the guidance of Captain Krien, he joined his ten teams.
Amid the clamoring sound of a trumpet, Leclerc reappeared in front of everyone, and a flag bearer with the Kalechi battle flag appeared next to him.
"For Strand, take back this prosperous dock area that once belonged to us! Charge! Strand's soldiers! As long as you take this place, the rebels in the city will lose their aid!"
Accompanied by a shout of courage, the four brigades that had been planned had launched a charge at the industrial pier, braved the artillery fire that ejected from the towers and windows filled with buildings.
I stayed with Kreen's first brigade, carefully walking through the buildings in the dock area, guarding against fanatics who could appear at any time.
"superior!"
A team leader shouted loudly, and the ten teams responsible for the guard took advantage of this rare opportunity to rush to one of the entrances of a building, and then occupied the intersection adjacent to the building.
"Everyone! Prepare indoor combat equipment!"
With a firm and clear order, all the halberd soldiers dropped their halberds, pulled out the short sword at their waists, took off the round shield on their backs, and the gunman also dropped his rifle and pulled out the pistol he carried with him.
The crossbowmen on the side did not have such a good configuration, but fortunately their crossbows were not too bulky in the room.
"Chong Chong! For Strand!"
With a violent explosion and smoke, all the council soldiers leaning against the entrance rushed into the building.
The imperial soldiers who were originally guarding the entrance were killed by the explosion. The remaining swordsmen who were also rushed in quickly got rid of the swordsmen. The group of swordsmen immediately dispersed into an arc formation, giving up space for the rifle soldiers behind them.
The explosion here has alarmed the defenders in the building. Did the warriors representing the black eagle rush out from the entrances and stairs? What's worse, each of them is covered with grenades.
"Catch them back! Knock them back! Damn, you must not let anyone rush to us!" Captain Kreen on the side shouted, waving the sword in his hand. He had just stabbed a soldier rushing up to death, and the soldier almost pulled the grenade on his body. Blood could still be seen on the sword.
"It's your turn to take action, Saren!"
"clear."
I pushed away the two shooters around me and rushed out with the hammer that originally belonged to Capes.
This warhammer has a nice name: Justice Executor, I think it's time to use it to practice justice belonging to the Stranders and me.
This is to avenge Drasius. I thought silently in my heart.
"bring it on!"
I shouted and waved the war hammer, and knocked away the three imperial soldiers who were surrounding me with one hammer. They spit out blood in mid-air, and they never stood up after falling.
"You scumbags of the Inquisition! An unscrupulous beast! A bunch of madmen! You are not worthy of being a human being! Aren't you going to catch me? Aren't you going to pay tribute to me? I, Salenoves, are here, come!"
While I shouted, I kept moving forward. In just one minute, as my hand started to hammer, more than two-digit soldiers were already lying on the ground in a vague way, and no one had time to pull the latch on his body.
I don't have any sympathy for them, after all, it's all they deserve.
“auir!”
I outlined a huge fireball and waved my hand gently, and the bursting fireball made a big hole in the wall.
"Good job, Saren!" Krien's voice came in from outside, "The entrance has been opened, soldiers, charge! Be careful of the damn fanatics!"
"kill!!!"
I smashed it hard with another hammer. As the floor broke, the calves of the two soldiers completely turned into powder. I picked up the hammer with one hand and looked in the direction of the sound.
The flag bearer who had been following Leclerc took the lead and rushed to the front. He was like a Taoist mark, like the source of courage for everyone.
To be continued...
