Chapter 43. Fireworks 2
Many times, an incident that happens by chance will set off a series of events. History books call this incident the trigger.
The rebellion at Londinium was triggered simply by a police officer going out to relieve himself. It was too dark and the snow was heavy. He did not see clearly what was on the other side, but the royalist vanguard on the other side thought that he had been exposed.
Take the initiative to launch an attack.
However, no one knows the real cause of this incident, and no one cares.
At four o'clock in the morning, Huron, who was fast asleep in the office, was awakened by the sudden ringing of the phone. He put on his coat, grabbed the phone, and said a vague greeting.
No one will have a good temper when being woken up suddenly in the middle of the night. Huron was filled with anger, and of course he didn't have a good tone, so he directly greeted the other person's relatives.
Then, he woke up completely.
On the other end of the phone is Earl West's secretary!
The school that was sealed off yesterday was attacked. The battle only lasted fifteen minutes. Now the city public university and several surrounding areas have lost contact. Those audacious bastards actually dared to take the initiative to attack!
"Huron, where are you?!"
"I'm in my office!"
When Huron heard Earl West's voice, he was so excited that he stopped stammering.
"you are at the office?"
Earl West did not expect that Huron, who never worked overtime, did not go home.
He immediately ordered: "Assemble all the people you can immediately. Those hateful bastards must be stopped outside the Western Region. You will lead the team yourself. Do you hear me? This is an order!"
Huron was also dumbfounded.
Of course there is no problem in gathering people, but he can't lead the team himself. That woman Sylvia has said that he is not allowed to leave the office. The Dragon Rider can't do anything to Earl West, but he, a little person who can be manipulated, can't
Same.
Earl West had no choice but to obey the order, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
"Yes, as a new noble, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
After hanging up the phone, Huron's scalp felt numb, he bit his fingers, thought about it for a while, and suddenly came to his senses, and called in his subordinates who were resting outside.
"Chief Huron, do you have any missions now?"
Huron was only wearing pajamas at the moment, his hair was messy, and his expression was extremely serious: "Those bastards who are trying to bring trouble to the country have attacked the City Public University and are attacking the Western Region. I order you to bring all the people you can to stop them and provide security guards."
The troops buy time!"
The subordinates were also dumbfounded and asked hurriedly: "Mr. President, aren't you going to lead the team yourself?"
"Of course I will go, are you questioning my judgment?"
With a straight face, Huron ordered his subordinates to put on his coat, put on his tall hat, and then gathered his men and set off.
…
Arizona Earl, who was charging forward, held a long-handled weapon and easily knocked the two police officers to the ground and was dragged away by the people around him.
"Arizona, you are better at using melee weapons than you thought. I thought you, like those nobles, like to use light weapons such as rapiers!"
"We have an heirloom staff in our family. It's very heavy. It's so heavy that it's hard to imagine that it's used to perform Originium skills. I think it's more appropriate to knock people."
After completely occupying the block, everyone was able to rest. Seeing that it was almost dawn, there was only a short distance to go to the West District, and they had to hurry up.
The imprisoned students who came out of the school actively joined the team, so that the forwards who were not enough were no longer tight. However, these students who took up weapons temporarily may not have much fighting power.
Within a few minutes of the temporary break, two scouts rushed back from the front and reported: "A large number of police officers have gathered at the Londinium Police Station and are approaching us!"
There was a commotion in the vanguard, especially among the young students. When they heard the news from the General Police Station, they all felt shaken.
"Don't be afraid! The people in Huron are all paper tigers. They break when touched and pierce when poked. They all follow me!"
Arizona didn't care.
He may not care, but William cannot care.
When he learned the news, William immediately started arranging support, pointing to the temporarily drawn map and said: "Let our shooters go to the two-story buildings on both sides of the street to ambush. Huron doesn't like narrow and dark corners very much. He will lead the people away."
Main road, we can catch him off guard, it's best to catch him!"
"The city guard troops have been dispatched. Due to the snow, they will arrive later than expected. We don't have to worry about the cavalry troops and steam mechas. Those things can't move in the snow."
William said worriedly: "Londinium actually has an army. If they are dispatched, our situation will become very passive."
…
West opened his bloodshot eyes and wished he could smash the phone. The heavy snow prevented the cavalry and steam mechas from moving. He could understand it completely, but why didn't the dragoons move either?!
"...I'm sorry, sir, the order from the colonel is to defend in place. No dragoons are allowed to leave the defense area. You have no authority to command us beyond the military headquarters."
"Sylvia! Sylvia!"
West kicked over his desk and angrily smashed everything in the office that could be smashed. He could only rely on the few people from the General Police Department, but Huron was an out-and-out idiot, delaying
The time is okay, but we can’t expect more.
I don’t know where the dragon knight went. According to the informant’s report, her movements are a bit suspicious and she seems to be looking for something.
Has the matter been revealed?
West's heart trembled. He had to discuss it with his old friends. There was still time.
…
On the other side, two knights braved the snowfall and came to the depths of the Western Region. Beyond that, they reached the outskirts of the palace.
"Sorry, your pass cannot be used. No one is allowed to enter the palace without special permission from the parliament."
Sylvia nodded, put away the certificate, turned the horse's head, and left in the opposite direction.
Next to her, Zhou Jinru wore a mask, also wore light armor, and was riding on horseback.
"You don't know how to ride a horse."
"I never knew how to."
Zhou Jinru raised his head and looked at the sky: "What are you going to do?"
"I hope your riding skills can keep up with mine."
Sylvia snorted, took off the spear hanging on the victory hook with her right hand, fastened the mask, and grasped the reins tightly.
She suddenly lifted the horse, moved its hooves, and faced the direction blocking the way. She suddenly increased the speed of the horse and rushed over!
"Stop her!"
At a distance of 100 meters, the guards only had time to let out a shout, and saw the dragon cavalry general's war horse leap high, fly over their heads, and rush straight forward.
Woo~
Chapter completed!
