My name is Ren

Chapter 507 Chapter [-] The situation changed overnight. Yesterday I was a master, but today I am a prisoner

The moon and stars are rare, and the silver light covers the world.

Autumn nights come much earlier than summer nights, and it gets dark just after the meal time. If it had been in the first two months, it would still be broad daylight.In the City of Guards, several soldiers were tied to the execution rack, and they were whipped ten times with military sticks in full view of everyone.Each blow was very strong, at least very loud, and the soldiers who were beaten not only did not show remorse, but were triumphant.

The surrounding soldiers looked at it with playful smiles, and some even applauded, but when their eyes passed by a certain place, they would become cold and cold.

The City of Guards is not big, only two blocks, naturally only two block councilors.At this moment, the faces of the two district councilors and the dozen or so people behind them were ashen, and their eyes were burning with anger.They were called and said that they were punishing the leaders who were looking for trouble for nothing during the day. At first they thought that the soldiers were sincerely apologizing, but they turned into a bravado. It would be a lie if they said they were not angry. of.

It's just that the rebels under Isaac's command were all around, and these people didn't dare to say anything. After watching the sticking, they left quickly amidst laughter.

The legion leader nodded, waved his hand with a smile, and the soldiers who were tied to the execution rack were immediately put down.Whether the consequences of stick punishment are serious depends entirely on the skill of the executioner.The stick is not the kind of round stick, but a "board" that is two fingers thick and five fingers wide.If you hit someone with the horizontal side, you don't need to use much force, but you can make a loud sound.But if the executioner really wants to injure or kill the victim, he needs to use the facade.

Three to five sticks down, the bones are broken, the internal organs can be shattered, and nothing can be seen on the outside.

Regarding what happened today, the legion commander reprimanded these soldiers on the surface, but he still agreed with it in his bones.Good guy, so many brothers died in two siege battles, and now you surrender when you say surrender. Those brothers died in vain before the feelings?Of course, the head of the legion can't say such things. He can be regarded as an officer, at least on the surface, he must abide by the system and rules.

Inside and outside the city, it's like two worlds!
It may be because Isaac's uneasiness has not completely dissipated because he arrived at a new place. He asked people to increase the patrol density to ensure that the traces of the enemy can be found at the first time.Teams of soldiers patrolled the city walls uninterruptedly, making midnight in the city of the guard less quiet than it used to be at midnight.

This time, the brothers Grace and Grien did not attack, and Isaac couldn't bear the fatigue in the second half of the night, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

The battle during this period of time really made people feel too tired, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.

Once a tightly wound string is loosened, it is very difficult to retighten it.Isaac was not the only one who let go of the tight strings. After repeated battles, the soldiers under his command seemed to have high morale behind them, but they were also deeply mentally fatigued.

After nothing happened for three consecutive days, Isaac guessed that Grace and Grian may have set the final battlefield in the imperial capital.He still had some doubts in his heart. He couldn't figure out under what circumstances Queen Pars would agree to put the battlefield in the imperial capital.You must know that the imperial capital represents the face of the empire and the authority of the Orlando family.No matter who will lose or win this battle, it will be the loser for the Orlando family.

Even if she wins, the other aristocrats who are ready to move will not be deterred by this. Instead, because they see through the weakness and incompetence of the royal family, they will go against the wishes of the central government even more brazenly.

After a few days, the soldiers who had been left behind for repairs began to appear one after another, and there was only a countdown to the final decisive battle. At such a last moment before dawn, Grian made a move— -fire.

Fire is a way for people to cook food or keep warm when it is weak.But when the flames spread, it's disaster.In the past, there was a fire in Seiliu City that burned 10,000+ civilians to death. Later, Renn used a fire in the Green Province to meet him, and burned nearly 3 people in Pelagos, so the way Green chose , is to use fire.

He wasn't sure if his experience and ability in playing with fire were as good as Bowen and Rennes, so the fire was just a prelude.

The City of Guards was originally filled with flat and low stone houses. Later, the Earl of Birmingham felt that the houses built with bricks and stones could not accommodate more civilians, so he pushed all the brick and stone houses in the entire city to build a small building.The small building can indeed hold more people, but it is also more dangerous.

Stone houses are safe, but the cost is too high, and the Earl of Birmingham does not intend to use completely stone houses.He used wood and masonry to build a building technique of brick and wood mixed, and changed all the buildings in the city to accommodate more people.

But at the same time, it is also easy to catch fire.

In the dark of night, the patrols that had not experienced any abnormalities for several days began to become passive.From the initial patrol density of 10 minutes, until now there are only patrols patrolling the whole city for almost two or three hours. The entire rebel army, from top to bottom, is blinded by short-term security.In the middle of the night, black figures wandered between the darkness and the light in the City of Guards. They found large and small pots and jars from various places very flexibly. When they opened the lids, they could smell the special smell of kerosene. .

These kerosene had been prepared a long time ago, and the purpose was to pit the rebels in as a whole.

Brothers Grace and Grian once discussed that if they fought a decisive battle with the rebels directly on the frontal battlefield, then the losses of the First and Second Guards would definitely be huge.This has nothing to do with whether they are elite or not. It is entirely because they are inferior to their opponents in quantity, and the quality of the guards cannot completely suppress the quality of the rebels, so they need to come up with a way to obtain the highest income at the lowest cost.

After much deliberation, it seems that the only way to go is to set fire.Back then, Bowen only burned more than a dozen or 20 people to death in one fire, but now they don’t ask much for this fire, and they have already made money by burning two or three people to death.

When everything was ready, a firework with a whistling sound tore through the tranquility of the night, and the fire ignited violently in an instant, covering the entire city with fire.

Not long after Isaac fell asleep, the continuous battles consumed too much of his energy, and this nobleman who once regarded nightlife as a normal life threw himself on the bed as if he had died early.

He was still asleep, and his confidant swordsman picked him up from the bed, carried him on his back, and rushed out of the city quickly.Isaac woke up from the jolt. He looked around at the flames licking towards him and then struggled for a moment in horror before realizing what had happened.At this moment, his face no longer had the calmness and composure of the past, only infinite panic.

This fire is just a signal, which means that the decisive battle has come.But he and his soldiers were not prepared at all. Under such circumstances, the decisive battle became no suspense.

Sure enough, as soon as he rushed out of the city, the civilians living near the city gate had disappeared, and the only thing that existed in the empty wilderness was the thunderous sound of horseshoes.He watched with dismay as he rushed out of the fire. The soldiers who didn't even have time to equip their armor and weapons were killed and injured in a round of cavalry charge.The continuous piercing did not give the rebels the space and time to assemble, and the cavalry teams rushed back and forth, smashing the survivors who had just been pulled out of the fire.

At this time, Isaac finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and it was all a trap!
There are not only the guards led by Grian, but also the cavalry from other satellite cities. They put all the rebels in it like a pocket, and let them squeeze it into a round shape.

Seeing the collapsed situation like a landslide, all the strength was withdrawn from Isaac's body in an instant, and the sword master wanted to carry him away, but he stopped the sword master's thoughts.

"Find me a decent set of clothes." Isaac was wearing pajamas, and the wind in the middle of the night was already mixed with the breath of winter, making it a little cold.He almost gritted his teeth looking at the fire and the knights rushing back and forth, just a little bit, he was able to attack the imperial capital and achieve supremacy.However, all of this was completely burned down by a fire on such a night.

The fighting lasted from midnight to dawn, but the fire in Weizhi City showed no signs of stopping.

When Isaac saw the Earl of Birmingham again, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.He was wearing a set of cheap clothes at this time, feeling uncomfortable all over his body, shaking his shoulders from time to time, "Earl of Birmingham, until today, I didn't know what you said in order to take care of the soldiers who came from afar, let us have a good life." What does physical strength mean to fight?"

Facing Isaac's ridicule, the Earl of Birmingham didn't seem to care at all. He smiled and bowed in greeting, "This is what I should do. As a nobleman of the empire, it is my personal duty to deal with such insane traitors as you, It is also the power given to me by the empire!"

After a moment of silence, Isaac sighed, "Can you let me know where Grace is now?"

One of the two nightmares has emerged and achieved great success, so where is the other now and what is it doing?

The Earl of Birmingham thought for a while before deciding to answer this question, "Your Excellency the Generalissimo is currently on the Western Front!"

"Actually, you don't have to regret it at all. From the day you decided to take that step, you should have thought of such an ending."

Isaac shook his head slightly, and said with a half-smile: "It's not that I want to betray anyone, but some people force me to do it. My today may be your tomorrow!"

　I originally wanted to prolong this war, but after thinking about it, let's skip it...
