Chapter 448 Chiyu

The magical wind roared in the broken sky, like boiling hot water, and the lightning and thunder under the scorching sun dyed the clouds blue.

Edes and Rotel, who were hiding in the alley, were shocked by the chaos. By the time they reacted, the situation had evolved from local chaos to a riot in the lower city against the upper city.

The knights whom Lothair dismissed as degenerates surfaced one after another. There was no need to distinguish them. Those who openly took the opportunity to kill must be untrustworthy traitors.

Since there was no armor, the two warriors had to carefully avoid the streets where the conflict was most intense. At this time, a hidden arrow could kill them, as long as the arrow hit the vital point.

They must go as soon as possible to meet the still wavering neutrals, find evidence of corruption along the way, and eliminate the heretics hidden in the Ulric Church in one fell swoop.

But in the current chaos, such an idea is simply a luxury.

The two could only jump off the street, climb rocks in the ravines, and pray to the gods of their respective beliefs to arrive safely.

Perhaps the gods really heard their prayers. The priest and knight only felt that some kind of smooth hard palm was holding their bodies. In the next moment, they flew into the sky and fell towards the people watching on the wall at an extremely fast speed. The knights flanked them.

"Oh! That sucks!"

"Where is the King of Men?"

"There is no precedent for this and according to tradition it still needs to be discussed."

"We shouldn't interfere in human affairs, it would violate the clan's rules and regulations."

"Ahem~ We have already violated the rules just by standing here, so what the heck!"

The dwarves argued wildly, and from time to time they used hammers to hit the engineering facilities in the square to emphasize their sentences. Lynch was worried that they would explode the machine again.

At this sensitive moment, outsiders really shouldn't interfere with human affairs. This is their own business.

What may have started out as a simple march has now turned into a civil war.

Before the city defense army turned their guns towards the city, the riot was gradually under control.

Probably feeling that the fire was not burning brightly enough, sporadic beastmen and Chaos warriors emerged from the nooks and crannies. Some cultists no longer suppressed themselves and showed up with abandon, successfully drawing away the hatred of most people.

Maybe it would be better if they didn't come out. In that case, no party would interfere in human affairs, and some teams that chose neutrality due to friendship would not join in.

When they appeared with great thorns, the chaos briefly climbed to the top. The Chaos followers who hacked and killed in the crowd spread fear in all directions, and then the citizens of Middenheim, who had never known fear, bounced back the fear.

First there was a call, and word of mouth spread about the appearance of the mutants. The originally restrained fighting throughout the city turned directly into a spontaneous war mobilization amidst the waves of "chaos invasion".

Except for those who were interested among the citizens, a large number of Imperial people focused their attention on the forces of Chaos. When thousands of beastmen and mutants swarmed onto the ground, some knights who were blinded by hatred also reacted. Come over.

But more knights were still charging towards the citizens, seemingly unaware that the forces of Chaos had sneaked into the city.

At this time, labeling them as "colluding with Chaos" was quite convincing, and their fanatical killing was indeed extremely excessive.

The first cannon fired was an experimental "beer mortar" from the dwarf community. Whether it was intentional or a calibration error, the first shell fell on the side of the knights who were still continuing the civil war.

Under stress, the defenders of the tower almost fired into the city. Before they could act, the powerful locals captured the tower, and only a few unlucky ones were injured in the pushing.

This was due to the passive resistance of the defenders. No matter what orders some officers gave, it could not change the fact that they should not fire on the citizens of the empire.

A large fireball that was successfully cast flew out from the middle of the city. The fireball hit the fort of the city tower, but it was only halfway through when it was turned into a ball of smoke by other casters.

By the time the White Wolf Temple declared the knights who were still in the ongoing civil war as apostates and called on all the people of Middenheim to fight back in self-defense, the situation had smoothly transitioned from a civil war to a foreign war.

Maybe those bloodthirsty knights in the crowd were just impulsive, or maybe they really secretly believed in the evil god. Who knows? They were abandoned anyway.

The "Red Crown" has never planned such a successful coup. The seeds of violence took root and sprouted among the crowd. With the cooperation of the "Scarlet Skull", the remnants of the "Purple Hand" were nothing more than a pile of loose sand.

Yes, they have lost their core members, but over the years, the "Red Crown" without a leader has become accustomed to fighting on its own.

Who cares about the group planning "Paradise"? The remaining people are only responsible for inciting rebellion. Even if the other groups are wiped out, they will not be able to affect them.

Some lower-level officials also hope that Middenheim will undergo major changes so that they can have the opportunity to be promoted. This makes the initial results of the "Red Crown" unprecedentedly rich.

But the smooth sailing performance was as short-lived as fireworks. First, an unknown force attacked their contact group. Their warlocks all lost their fire for some reason and failed to blow up the scheduled bridge as planned.

Another team responsible for calming the beasts failed to suppress the underground beast king, so the beastmen and chaos warriors who were supposed to be the last to appear appeared early.

What was worse was the indifference of the Skaven. They had agreed that the Rat Pack would be dispatched when necessary, and they even argued for several days about the ambiguous word "necessary."

There was nothing, not even a furry rat on the street.

What's even more irritating is the group of Slaanesh believers, who haven't even taken a chance yet.

The originally vacillating noble private soldiers and dwarves immediately stood in line when the horned beast emerged from the ground. The situation has become clear. They can't find a way to escape from Middenheim and wait for the reckoning in the future.

Middenheim is a fortress city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, whether from the inside out or from the outside in.

The remnants of the "Ultra Purple Hand" who had suffered a terrible disaster tried to shrink their forces as much as possible, but in the chaos they lost the two elemental mages who came to Middenheim to investigate. Now every warlock is worried about the future.

There are still some items that cannot be made public that have not been transported away. Middenheim has always been insurmountable, and it may be too late to get down now.

The suddenly ignited explosive barrel seemed to be affected by moisture. It failed to explode in the end, even though the fuse had been burned to the end.

The civil war in Middenheim only lasted less than half a day. Afterwards, demons and modified creatures poured out of the streets. The demon's henchmen were obviously not prepared to deal with the search. The angry citizens were unprecedentedly united at this time, and directly The streets were cleared.

Lynch only slightly suppressed the summoned demon. In fact, it would be the same if he didn't suppress it. He just added an extra peak to the mountain-like pressure that the demon was bearing.

Lynch didn't know if they had any sense of shame. Being killed by the most ordinary non-professional soldiers was definitely not an honorable thing.
