Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1853 1854 Riots

The warehouse was empty except for a few panicked rats scurrying around in the corners, as if they were avoiding something scary. The soldiers of the Lions Empire escorted Hunter and other "sedition agents" away, leaving behind a mess on the ground and a lingering tension in the air.

Jade City, this once prosperous city, is now like an isolated island about to be swallowed up by the storm. In the streets and alleys, Lions and Dorne soldiers patrolled in small groups with panicked expressions. They originally thought it was just an easy suppression, but they didn't expect it would fall into such a quagmire.

Even so, there were still many civilians and workers gathering in secret. They were discussing how to end the war. As they talked, the content of the discussion turned to how to welcome the Tang Empire's army into the city.

In the eyes of all civilians, as long as the army of the Tang Empire occupied Jade City, their suffering would be over. As long as those coalition soldiers who bully the weak and fear the strong are driven away, the war will be completely over!

With this idea in mind, more and more people began to join small radical groups. Many people want to strive for a future at this time. If they can really create chaos and allow the Tang Empire to occupy Jade City at a relatively small cost, then they will definitely be praised!

As a result, some people began to secretly draw maps, assemble teams, and even visited several coalition arsenals hidden in the city, preparing to use their own actual actions to welcome the arrival of the Tang Empire army.

"Damn! Are these mud-legged people crazy?" A young Lyons soldier cursed in a low voice. He held the rifle tightly in his hand, his palms full of sweat.

Just now, he killed a civilian who tried to rush up to **** his weapon, and the other person's blood even splashed on his face. This was his first time killing someone, and it was his first time killing someone so close...

"Pay attention to the alert! I heard that there have been riots among civilians in many places!" Looking at his frightened subordinates, the Lions Empire officer who just put down the phone and walked out of the post warned nervously.

He had just heard about what happened in another neighborhood. In order to frighten the unruly people, a commander there publicly executed a worker named Hunter. He was arrested yesterday on charges of inciting civilians to rebel.

Who knew that when the worker was executed, a group of masked gangsters suddenly appeared, armed with submachine guns and fierce firepower, and rescued the mob named Hunter in full view of the public.

Then large-scale riots broke out there. Civilians in several blocks attacked the local garrison and even occupied an arsenal.

A fool also knows that this kind of thing is not that simple. If it is just a simple mob, it is impossible to be an opponent of the local garrison. It was obvious that some people with unknown origins were involved among the troublemakers. These people had automatic weapons and were very skilled in tactical coordination, helping the unarmed mob to stabilize their position.

Well now, the rioters have occupied the arsenal and have more bullets and guns. Now these civilians with guns are running around in the city and have caused countless troubles to the coalition defenders.

"If someone attacks the checkpoint, shoot immediately..." He looked at the sandbags piled next to his post, and then looked at the tall buildings around him. He felt that the checkpoint he set up at the intersection was simply a trap. If something went wrong, their defenses here were leaking from all sides and there was no way to defend them.

"No, Captain...are we really shooting at civilians? Then the higher ups will be blamed..." A veteran came up and asked in a lowered voice. He felt that shooting at his compatriots was not a good thing no matter how he looked at it.

"Shut up, do you want to be torn to pieces by those lunatics?" The commander of the checkpoint glared at him and said in a low voice: "These untouchables are completely crazy, they can do anything! Some soldiers have been killed Beat him to death, do you want to die too?"

"Thud, thud, thud!" A series of gunshots suddenly came from the distance. The sound should be the MP40 submachine gun commonly equipped by the Lions Empire. This kind of submachine gun is equipped in many countries in the Eastern Continent, mainly the Elf Poplar Empire and the Lions Empire.

"Hidden! Damn it! They're coming." Hiding behind the sandbag bunker, the officer of the Lines Empire held the helmet above his head with his hands, reminding his men to find a bunker quickly.

On the other side of the street, civilians armed with various weapons were already pouring in like a tide.

Some of these people were holding sticks or shovels, some were holding kitchen knives at home or wrenches from the factory, some were holding 98K rifles found in the arsenal, and some were only carrying a bayonet... They With red eyes and a crazy look, the Lions Empire soldiers rushed towards the checkpoint.

"Get rid of these bastards!" Hunter, who was mixed in the crowd and rescued from the execution ground, yelled manically. He had just walked away from the gate of hell. Of course, it was impossible to reason with these soldiers of the Lions Empire.

"Sooner or later they will kill us all! Drive them out of our city!" Someone in the crowd was holding an MP40 submachine gun and shouted at the people around him.

With these shouts, the crowd rushing towards the barricade checkpoint became even more violent. They have really been bullied for too long, and now they decide to fight for themselves!

"Go back! If you come back, we'll shoot!" Behind the sandbag, a soldier from the Lions Empire stuck out half of his head and shouted at the frantic crowd.

He was answered with a flying bullet. Although it didn't hit his head, it still shocked him. Then these soldiers of the Lions Empire were no longer polite. They were also angry and pulled the triggers on the crowd.

"Bang!" A Lions soldier fired a shot at the crowd, then he retracted behind the sandbag, pulled the bolt and reloaded the bullet.

"Kill! For freedom! For the Tang Army!" The person who shouted these words was a thin young man, waving a rusty kitchen knife in his hand, with a look of determination on his face.

Another old worker standing next to him was hit by a flying bullet. When he lay back, he was caught by the crowd that came up. Seeing the blood, the crowd became even more frenzied, and those with weapons started shooting at the Lions Empire soldiers inside the checkpoint.

"Damn it!" Those Dornish soldiers obviously did not expect to be attacked in such a desperate manner. They originally thought that if they fired, the opponent would be scared away, but in fact, the opponent rushed over directly.

"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and the young man wielding a rusty kitchen knife fell to the ground with blood staining the ground red. The shooter was a Lanes veteran hiding behind a sandbag. Because there were so many targets, he didn't even need to aim.

"Idiot, fight with us, you low-class people are only worthy of..." He stuck his head out again, put the gun on the sandbag, and aimed through the sight hole at a civilian who was leading the charge. He muttered, his finger already pressed on the trigger. Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, a bullet accurately hit him between the eyebrows. His eyes widened, and he fell on his back unwillingly, falling next to another Lions Empire soldier.

At the third-floor window of a building behind the crowd, a bearded man looked away from the eyepiece of the quadruple scope. He is a Tang Dynasty agent lurking in Jade City, responsible for helping Jade City civilians on the streets eliminate threats that block their way.

With agents like him, this civilian voice is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more people are gathering together. They broke through one checkpoint after another, occupied one block after another, and destroyed many of the coalition's defensive arrangements in the city.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the officer at the checkpoint abandoned his soldiers and ran away. The machine gun set up behind the sandbags did not fire. Only when the civilians came closer did they see that the machine gunner had died beside the machine gun. The few remaining Lions soldiers had raised their hands, but the angry crowd did not give them a chance to surrender...

"Bastards! Those bastards!" In the underground headquarters, Paul angrily tore up a city defense map. His carefully laid defense plan had just been launched, but it had been completely destroyed by the rioters in the city.

The Tang army outside the city obviously got the news of the riots in Yucheng City, and launched a large-scale attack while the city was in chaos.

The northern Tang Army, which was not very active in attacking, also started to move south today. The pressure on the Dornish Empire's troops stationed in the northern suburbs of the city doubled and they suffered heavy losses...

The Tang army, which had been fighting very aggressively in the south, was attacking more fiercely today. They had penetrated the defense line on the outskirts of Yucheng. Some troops had entered the city and seemed to want to join the rioting civilians in the city.

If the Tang army and the rebels were allowed to gather together, the entire Jade City's defense would probably collapse soon. Therefore, while Paul desperately mobilized his troops to prevent the Tang army from entering the city, he also ordered to suppress the unruly people who caused chaos in the city at all costs.

"Damn it! How could this happen?" As the highest commander of the Lions Empire stationed in Jade City, Paul originally wanted to stay in Jade City for a few months. But now he looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his face was pale and he didn't know what to say.

He never expected that the Tang army's attack would be so swift and violent, and that the normally submissive civilians in Jade City would actually give him the most fatal blow from behind.

"General! What should we do?" An officer stumbled to Paul and asked in horror: "There seems to be a problem over at Arsenal No. 5..."

As soon as he reported the incident, Paul felt the ground beneath his feet tremble. He stretched out his hand to hold on to the table to maintain his balance, and then the explosion that could be heard clearly in the basement reached everyone's ears.

Dust fell from the ceiling, making people cough. Paul's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Those... unruly people... can't be..." The adjutant next to Paul turned pale, his lips were trembling, and his voice was broken, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Isn't it because the arsenal was blown up?" His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he almost turned to himself. After all, for him, the earth-shattering explosion just now was so shocking that he couldn't believe his ears.

"General!" The voice of the officer who came to report began to tremble. His legs seemed to be as heavy as lead, and he was almost unsteady.

"We... what should we do now?" He knew that the loss of Arsenal No. 5 would be too great a loss for the coalition forces. Tens of thousands of artillery shells are stored there, enough for the coalition artillery forces to use for several months. Without these shells, the coalition artillery will definitely be silent for a long time, and this period of time is enough for the Tang Army to do too many things.

"Those **** troublemakers! How dare they..." Paul said through gritted teeth, veins popping up on his forehead, obviously extremely angry. He knew that the defense of Arsenal No. 5 was very tight, and it was impossible for civilians to break in. The only explanation is that someone cooperated inside and outside and helped the civilians blow up the arsenal.

Tang Jun's infiltration in Yucheng was really pervasive. The other party had been operating here for so many years, and there must be countless secret operations left behind... He was still careless, and he did not expect that the other party could do this.

"Those bastards! It must be that **** Silver Fox! There can be no one else except them!" Paul became angrier as he thought about it. He punched the table hard with a loud noise: "Those rioters must have discovered the arsenal. There are no guns and bullets inside that they can take out and use, so..."

"So I just blew up the cannonballs stacked in the warehouse." The adjutant said with a pale face. He knew that those civilians were completely crazy to do this.

"What should I do? What else can I do!" Only then did Paul remember the officer who had just asked what to do. He looked at the officer, angrily pressed his hands on the table, and roared loudly. His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. Like an enraged beast: "Order the troops to suppress those mobs at all costs!"

"And!" Paul took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but his voice was still trembling: "Send a letter to the Dornish people again and tell them..."

"What do you tell them?" the adjutant asked cautiously. He knew that Paul's mood was very unstable now, and he would get burned if he was not careful.

"Tell them." Paul said through gritted teeth: "Don't take into account the casualties of civilians in the city. Treat any rioters as enemies! Open fire and kill them immediately!"

He couldn't care less now, all he could think about now was that he couldn't lose Yucheng so quickly. No matter what, he has to complete the task assigned to him by Lions II: Now Tamaki will hold on for three months.
