Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 309 Chapter 309
Seeking peace is actually not an easy task, especially when someone has already called at your door.What Chanyuan alliance, what alliance under the city, what bridge alliance... They were all quite passive when they were signed.

It's actually very realistic when you think about it: when someone puts a kitchen knife on your neck and kills someone without breaking the law, who wants to let it go so easily?
So, at this time, he must have the money to pay, and if he has a daughter, he will give it to his daughter... As for saying nothing, kneeling on the ground and calling Dad twice, it must not be shameful.

In short, it is true to be able to survive. After all, Song relied on the alliance of Chanyuan to consume Liao to death, and Tang relied on the alliance of Bianqiao to kill Turkic, because there is more or less hope for survival.

But when one side is being beaten, how to negotiate peace with the enemy is more skillful.

For example, this time, when Tarun Kingdom faced the warships of the Datang Group outside its royal city, it seemed that there was no way to communicate with the other party...

The king sent his envoy and decided to have a good talk with the commander of the other party. As a result, the sailboat with the white flag was sunk halfway as soon as it set out to sea.

Ever since, it is not easy to find a captain who has the courage to take people out to sea, even if the reward has been increased to 200 gold coins.

This is something that can’t be helped, after all, it’s still the old saying, if you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend it.

No one would joke about their own lives in this near-mortal situation. Everyone could only pretend to be crazy and watch as the ships docked in their own ports were sunk by enemy ships.

Panic has spread in the city, and many people have already started to flee outside the city. The rich and powerful already had manors outside the city, so naturally they all went to seek refuge now.

Soon, Tarun X, the king of Tarun Kingdom, was pleasantly surprised to find that he couldn't even summon his own ministers.

There was no way—some people were really killed by shelling by chance, some had already escaped, some were too scared to go out, and the rest were really sick and unable to get up.

After all, everything in this country seems to be collapsing, and King Tarun X can't stop this process at all, he can't even control his own army.

The new barracks outside the city had run out, and although there were recruits and veterans stationed in the city, most of them had already dispersed.

Even if a certain battalion leader can still be found standing firm now, there are no suitable orders given to them.

After all, they seem to be able to maintain their complete organizational system by sticking to the position, but if they are allowed to move, who can guarantee that they will not be broken up halfway?

Therefore, the best way is not to mobilize these existing troops, but to let them stick to their original positions and keep still...

But it is true that the troops are fighting less and less, and the enemy's attacks are not ineffective.The troops stationed at the top of the city are being consumed, and the remaining survivors are also being scattered.

Therefore, the troops in the city are actually fighting less and less. What Tarun X can control now is nothing more than his own bodyguard troops, about 1000 people and two battalions of troops.

This is his last reliance, and it is also an important reason why he is still able to sit safely in his palace.

If it weren't for these troops, those scattered troops and crazy refugees could all rush into the palace to burn, kill and loot, just like what they are doing now.

At this moment in Talun King City, the thick smoke rising was not only caused by shelling, but also caused by man-made.

These broken soldiers and refugees who fanned the flames in the city would often rush into some houses to burn, kill, loot, and even rape women, taking advantage of the chaos to do everything they wanted to do but had no courage to do.

The losses they caused were ten times and a hundred times greater than the losses caused by the roaring naval guns on the battleships outside.

It is these rebellious troops that are turning Talun King City into a purgatory on earth, and this is also the evil result of randomly pulling thousands of inexperienced and untrained recruits into the city.

The cries and shouts gradually began to boil uncontrollably. The children were frightened and screamed sharply. Some not-so-sturdy buildings collapsed under the sound of gunfire. corpses in various clothes.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" On the fleeing carriage, a butler brandished a Cyric revolver and yelled loudly at the rioters crowded on the road.

How could these panicked civilians pay any attention to his efforts. They hugged their own soft bodies, pulled their children, pushed and shoved, and slowly moved their bodies forward.

"Bah!" In the end, the desperate but helpless housekeeper couldn't help but pull the trigger. A gunshot echoed in the street, and a woman screamed and fell to the ground.

Seven or eight silver coins and dozens of copper coins scattered out of the bag she was carrying, and the crowd around her suddenly became agitated.

Some people started to crowd left and right because of the gunshots, and some people looked down at the scattered coins and crawled to snatch them.

No one paid any attention to the woman who was still spraying blood from her chest, and the child beside the woman was pushed down and drowned by the crowd before she could cry out.

"Don't grab it! Mine! Mine!" A greedy man grabbed a silver coin and suddenly raised his head, only to find that the carriage that took the opportunity to move was beside him.

He saw the old lady wearing gold and silver in the carriage, and also saw the noble lord inside.Greed and madness made him finally forget his cowardice and fear, and he grabbed the carriage door all at once.

"They're rich! They're rich!" Who knows who thought of going with him, and someone among the common people uttered a roar that made other poor people boil.

Ever since, countless crowds began to rush towards the carriage, and the entire carriage was shaken.

"Boom!" The butler on the carriage aimed at a beggar who was crowded around the carriage, and the old beggar who was shot couldn't even fall down.While spraying blood, he was surrounded by people around him, and the beggar's screams were instantly drowned out by the maddened shouts of the crowd.

"Crash!" The window of the carriage was smashed, and the broken glass frightened the woman in the carriage.

The noble lord in the carriage also held a pistol, and pulled the trigger on the hands that had already reached into the carriage.

In the shaking carriage, the noble woman's arm was grabbed by a dirty hand, and she couldn't help but let out a sharp scream: "Ah!"

Accompanied by her screams, a series of gunshots rang out.

The hand of the civilian who was shot was still hanging in the carriage, and his body was wrapped up by the crowd so that he could not fall down, and more people desperately shook the carriage crazily.

Finally, the nobleman who fired six shots in a row found that his pistol was empty, and the old butler in the carriage had already emptied the bullets in the gun.

One of his feet failed to stand firmly, and the old butler fell off the carriage and directly hit the heads of the crowd around him.Then the desperate ones didn't even bother to dodge, just lifted him over their heads and started rummaging through his pockets.

The gold coins he hid in his pocket were snatched away, and the sterling silver pocket watch he cherished very much disappeared in an instant.

It didn't even take two seconds for the buttons on his clothes to be ripped clean, and the gun holster and the remaining scattered bullets in the pocket of his coat were also taken away.

Soon his pistol was also taken away, and his clothes were grabbed and torn to pieces. In the end, he was still thrown on the ground, and before he could utter the words of begging for mercy, someone stepped on his mouth.

There are feet on his stomach and feet on his chest. His arms tried to protect his head, but when he was halfway up, they were blocked by dense calves.

In just a few seconds, he was trampled to death beside the carriage.

At this time, the door of the carriage was finally overwhelmed and smashed open. A man was pushed and climbed into the carriage. He saved the lady's leg, and all his saliva rubbed on the lady's shoe.

At this moment, the noble man finally realized that if he didn't do anything else, he would definitely die here, so he took out the gold coins from his pocket and threw them out of the carriage recklessly.

The people who were about to get into the carriage started looting the gold coins, and those who tried to rush into the carriage seemed to be delayed a bit.

But soon he found that he didn't bring much gold coins, he even took off his family ring and threw it out of the car.

Then, he noticed that someone who had rushed into the carriage began to look through his pockets desperately, and he raised his foot and kicked the other person in the stomach.

When he was about to kick again, he was strangled from the other side.All of a sudden, all he had left was fear, and his hands desperately tried to grab the arm that was tightening his neck.

At this time, he could no longer care about his wife whose clothes were torn apart. He tried to breathe, but how could he break free from the arms that had been working for years and years around his neck?

Soon, his legs were left with only the strength of blind kicking, and the woman beside him had already lost her voice.

Finally, the carriage couldn't support it anymore, and the entire carriage fell down instead, knocking down a dozen civilians on the other side of the carriage.

In the midst of the panic, all the robbing civilians found that those noble lords who were usually aloof, as well as the vicious thugs hired by those noble lords, seemed... Vulnerable!
So, these bloody refugees continued to boil, they smashed the doors and windows of the surrounding buildings, rushed into the room and started rummaging for anything they wanted.

If there is an owner in the house, they will kill the owner. If the house is empty, they will take whatever they find.

These people were in droves, some even wore the uniform of the kingdom of Taron, and carried Cyric's flintlock.

They had guns, bayonets, and long swords, and gradually began to gather other robbers and routs, turning into gangs that ordinary residents could not resist alone.
