Chapter 136 Special Mining Area
Chapter 136 Special Mining Area
"Look how calm you are. If you knew what this mine produces, you probably wouldn't be so calm." The adult was full of confidence.
"This place is rich in gold. Once the secret is revealed, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention. I wonder if your master can handle it?" The master threw out a great piece of news, but it was also a huge threat.
"No matter what it is, we will not go against our original intention. We should take the easy approach first and then move on to the difficult." The monkey pretended to be calm.
"What can we gain if we revolt?" To put it bluntly, everything is for profit.
"You will be free and safe..."
"No, that's all lies. I guess it's just a change from one bandit leader to another, which does us no good." The adult interrupted the monkey's explanation.
"We have rescued other mining areas before and granted freedom and safety to all miners. All miners will sign a contract with us and work for us for one to two years to redeem their freedom. After that, they can leave on their own or continue to be free men and work for us. We will pay them." Monkey mentioned his previous experience.
"What is a contract?" The adult suddenly found the key.
"A contract is just... that's all. You'll know when you take a look." The monkey happened to have a sample contract with him, so he handed it directly to the adult.
"I never thought that a piece of contract could solve all the problems I had been thinking about. I would like to meet your master." The master's face was full of surprise, and he was obviously shocked by the contents of the contract.
"No, my master said that a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, so I will not come here until it is safe." The monkey refused directly. It was impossible to let Alpha take the risk to come in.
"Okay, I agree, but we must sign a contract." The adult obviously took this very seriously and even asked the monkey to sign the contract now.
"Then we can sign the maximum term as you said and wait." The adult did not feel that he was at a disadvantage.
"Okay." In that case, Monkey can make the decision now. After all, this contract is for emergencies.
"When will you?"
Wuuwuwu! Wuuwuwu! A shrill alarm sounded in the underground mine, indicating that the body of the guard above had been found.
"I hope you will keep your promise. We will now call on all members to revolt." The lord no longer has many bargaining chips.
If he stopped now, he could only hand over the two miners who killed the knight, or the monkey, and the miners who had seen the two along the way. He could not afford such a loss.
Either you lie low for five years and continue to cultivate new forces, or you rise up in resistance. After all, there are only a few five years in a lifetime.
"As soon as I get out, I will let the surrounding cavalry attack." Monkey didn't hesitate and disappeared into the crowd.
The monkey ran all the way, following other refugees, and had already mixed into the battle area. The miners could only use their bodies to grab the enemy and snatch their weapons and equipment. There were heavy casualties, but they only managed to take more than ten pieces of weapons and equipment.
"Murder, riot!" Monkey shouted as he advanced through the chaos. The guards at the exit had already discovered that their comrades had been killed. The battle below was getting more and more intense, and it was already out of control.
"Everyone retreat, quickly, inform the adults. They said the miners' captives are rioting, tell the adults to be prepared." The guards immediately organized their forces and wanted to guard the only exit.
"Assassins? There are assassins." More than half of the guards who had just organized the fighting force were assassinated by assassins in an instant. The captain of the guards also realized the seriousness of the situation, but he was attacked from both sides by the enemy and the situation was very dangerous.
"Why don't you take action? What are you waiting for?" the monkey shouted loudly. After all, the miners are still the main force here.
"Oh no, the report from above has arrived. We must resist these guards. A hundred reinforcements are on the way. We have to deal with them, otherwise we are doomed." Another group of guards came to kill us, but unfortunately the exit had been occupied by the miners, and more knights were needed to block the remaining exits.
"Release all the miners, release all the hostages, we want to survive, we have to fight." Looking at the battle situation ahead, the miners behind shouted loudly.
"What do we have to fear now? Whether you join the resistance or not, they will not let any of us go." Seeing that some people were not ready to resist, the adult immediately stood up.
"Do you still want to stay in this dark mine until you die? Don't you want to live for your family, fight for a better future? For freedom, pick up your weapons, for freedom and future, kill." With a roar, the surrounding hostages and miners all rushed forward.
It seems that the adult has a strong ability to mobilize people, so Monkey was relieved and began to leave with all his strength. After all, the turmoil inside did not cause any movement outside. The possibility of breaking out by relying on the riots and uprisings of these people is very small, and external cooperation is necessary.
"Who's outside? Why are you going out? Don't you know that there is martial law now and no one is allowed to leave the city?" The sudden shout broke the silence, making the monkey who was about to leave feel a little bit troubled.
"There is a riot in the city, and my master ordered me to check if there are any enemies outside the city." The monkey pretended to be calm and moved closer to the enemy.
"Whose order is this?" The other party obviously would not believe it and continued to ask.
"It's Lord Billy." The monkey made up a name casually. Anyway, there are a lot of people named Billy here, so who would care?
"Stand still, I will go and verify with Lord Billy. If the situation is true, you can leave." The other party didn't know who Billy the monkey was talking about, so he could only ask his superiors for instructions.
"Okay, I'll sit in that corner." The monkey slowly sat in the corner and didn't move, which made the surrounding sentries relax their vigilance.
"Sir, we captured a sentry who said he was arranged by Sir Billy to patrol outside the city, so we specifically asked you about it." A sentry found his superior.
"Billy? Is it Billy from the logistics department, or Billy who guards the prison?" The officer knew only these two people who held high positions, and the others were all small fry.
"That's not right. Neither Billy from the logistics department nor the prison is in charge of the reconnaissance outside the city. Besides, I just received the order for this mission. How could he set off early?" The officer gradually felt that something was wrong.
"Bring him here for me to see."
"Yes, sir." The soldier ran out immediately.
"Gordon, come with me to catch that man." The soldier knocked on the secret door of the sentry fort, but there was no response.
"It's already late, and you're still sleeping?" It was late at night, and this was obviously not the first time someone was lazy and sleeping. Even the sentry was used to it.
"Come with me, our master has something to ask you." The soldier went to complete the task alone, but the monkey in the corner did not react at all and still leaned there motionless.
"Stand up and follow me to see our commander." the soldier shouted again.
"Get up." Suddenly, the soldier grabbed the monkey's clothes and prepared to lift him up, but the monkey was just a piece of clothes, and there was a mechanism behind the clothes.
The soldier couldn't believe it, he could only hold his throat and sleep in the darkness. Three sharp arrows pierced his throat and chest respectively, and the same fate befell the sentry in the fort behind him, and everything returned to peace.
……
"Oh no, oh no, enemy attack, enemy attack." Suddenly, the alarm sounded again. It seemed that Monkey's attack on the sentry fort had been discovered. Unfortunately, Monkey had already left the city and reinforcements had arrived. The 50-man special operations team led by Monkey had already climbed up the city wall and were preparing to open the city gate.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded, making the Monkey Squad, who were opening the door, realize that something was wrong. However, it was not a big problem. The individual strength of the special forces team might not be the strongest, but their ability was very strong.
Alpha gave the best equipment and weapons to the special forces team, including the best crossbows that can penetrate armor. If there were not too few intermediate knights, Alpha would have equipped the other side with a full firearms team. Currently, only Monkey has one. However, the short gun can only hold two bullets at a time, and the sound is loud, so Monkey will not use it unless he wants to save his life.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." As night fell and the campfire was lit, the special forces team had no time to defend themselves against the overhead.
Except for the sentinels on alert, all the guards heard the enemy attack and quickly rushed to the city wall. It turned out that the enemy had climbed up the city wall with a ladder in the dark, and the team members on the city wall had already engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
The special forces team consists of four teams. After special training, the team members are equipped with crossbows and longbows, and have strong combat capabilities. At the beginning of the battle, the first team continued to open the door, the second and third teams were equipped with crossbows and used rain of arrows to cover, and the fourth team was equipped with bows and arrows, roaming flexibly, shooting cold arrows from time to time, shooting the enemy's crossbowmen and putting the enemy in a passive position.
"The enemy's long-range weapons have been used up, kill." Seeing that the enemy's crossbows had stopped firing, the deputy captain who was commanding the battle immediately gave orders and the other team members rushed towards the enemy.
The special forces team did not have long weapons, but the daggers were more powerful. The team members were extremely ferocious with daggers in their hands. In an instant, dozens of enemies fell under the knives.
"Sir, the gate is open." The monkey who was commanding the battle on the city wall was shocked when he heard his subordinates' reminder! At the same time, the knights outside the city heard the news, and the roars on the battlefield shook the earth. Their morale was high, and they launched a new round of fierce attacks.
The special forces team defended the gate to the death and used their flesh and blood to resist wave after wave of enemy attacks, buying precious time for the mining area and successfully allowing the army to enter the city.
A large number of enemies poured into the city like a tide, and the fragile cavalry defense line collapsed instantly. The enemy's army was surging and no one could resist it.
"Lilia, Zorro, Gulis, occupy the city wall, Monkey, destroy the enemy's hidden fortifications, Tieniu, Gunn, follow me to charge in!" Rowling made a decision quickly. After hearing Monkey's report, she ordered the supporting cavalry to be separated and did not let the 400 cavalry participate.
The six hundred cavalrymen were like a sharp sword, cutting through the enemy's defenses with overwhelming force and seizing the advantage on the ground. At this time, only the enemy in the mining area was left, resisting stubbornly.
"Cromwell, you are treacherous! You promised to maintain stability below and prevent riots, but now you have broken your promise. If you don't keep your promise, don't blame us for being rude!" The Russ army regained the only gate connecting to the mining area. What they have to do now is to gradually compress and divide the enemy.
"It's clearly you who broke your promise! You said you would treat us miners and hostages well, but our lives have not improved at all. Most of the English nobles held hostage by you are now dead, and you still have the nerve to say that!" The two people seemed to have a special relationship, but now they have become enemies.
"There is no point in saying more. None of you will survive today!" Ruth's power was limited. He had protected Cromwell to the best of his ability, but he could do nothing for others.
"Ruth, I'm giving you a piece of advice. Go outside and take a look. Maybe that's not your territory anymore."
