Chapter One Hundred and Seven In the evening, Roddy sternly refused Governor Hill's invitation to a banquet and ate something at will in the governor's palace.
Before he arrived, Governor Schill had prepared a large mansion for him to settle in.
But Roddy sees that the situation is urgent now, where is there any interest in living in a big house.
At his insistence, he lived in the backyard of the Governor's Palace.
The Doge's House was divided into a front yard and a back yard.
The front yard was where the magistrates conducted their affairs, and the back yard was the governor's residence.
However, this Governor of Xil seems to dislike the backyard of the Governor's Mansion too shabby, but he rarely lives here, and I heard that he has another mansion in Purple Leaf City.
Roddy now lives in the Governor's Palace, and is clean.
In the middle of the night, Roddy suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the sound of chaotic footsteps woke him up.
Roddy immediately ran out, and Rand had already strode over, and said loudly: "Lord Duke, I heard from the people outside that the mountain barracks outside the city have all mutinied, and they have detained their commander, and now Lord Camus's army has surrounded the barracks, and the two sides are facing each other, and the defenders of Purple Leaf City are facing each other, and it seems that they are gathering."
Roddy frowned, immediately dressed up, and rode out of the city with ten of his guards.
Along the way, he saw the defenders of Purple Leaf City in a large group running around.
Luo Di frowned secretly in his heart, but Rand was a straight person, looking at these messy local garrisons, he couldn't help but whisper: "How do the officers here lead the troops, how can such an army fight, if the enemy attacks by surprise, I'm afraid it will collapse in less than a charge" Roddy shook his head and sighed, thinking that if Camus hadn't suddenly brought someone here today, I'm afraid that tonight's events would have been a big disaster When I ran to the city gate, I saw that the city gate was closed, and the defenders in many places were guarding the city wall with frightened faces, and both soldiers and officers looked terrified.
Roddy frowned, and sent his guards over to inquire before he learned.
It turned out that there was an error in the news that Rand had just inquired about.
It was true that the mountain barracks outside the city mutinied, but instead of being surrounded by the barracks, they gathered outside the city gate at this moment to confront Camus's southern legions under the city.
These mountain armies kidnapped the Empire's appointed officers and gathered under the city in full armor, clamoring for an encounter with the governor.
Roddy led Rand up the city wall, and the defenders learned that it was the Duke who came, and hurriedly got out of the way.
A few more clever ones immediately ran to find the chief to report.
Roddy stood on top of the wall, looking down.
I saw about 10,000 infantry, dressed in the uniforms of the local garrison of the empire, forming an infantry phalanx, holding weapons in their hands, and gathering under the city with murderous spirit.
Behind them, a large number of Imperial cavalry, dressed in the uniforms of the Southern Legion, lined up in an encirclement formation.
The swords of both sides are unsheathed, the sharp arrows are on the bows, and they are about to start fighting if they don't say a word.
The torches are like a forest, illuminating the night as if it were day Although those mountain infantry wore Imperial uniforms, they could be seen at a glance from their appearance.
These people are generally taller than the Imperials, with dark faces and thick hands and feet.
The bridge of the nose is collapsed, and most of the eyes are brown.
Although it was under the mutiny, the entire military formation was neat and solemn, and at first glance it was well-trained in peacetime, which was very different from the other imperial garrisons that were in a mess.
At this moment, an officer was shouting loudly to Camus's men, and the others were silent, glaring at each other fiercely.
The officer who shouted was wearing the uniform of the commander of the Imperial Regiment, but at first glance he was a mountain man.
I don't know what he just said to the people of the Southern Legion, without saying a word, he waved his hand, and immediately two mountain soldiers under his command dragged out a man with a big tie.
The man was disheveled, and although he was wearing the uniform of an imperial officer, he was in a state of limb at the moment, and his face was full of fear.
The mountain officer shouted a language that Roddy didn't understand, and he didn't know what he said, and the mountain soldiers suddenly burst out into an earth-shattering cry.
Luo Di frowned, grabbed an officer not far from him, and whispered: "What do they say?"
The officer looked frightened and stammered: "They said that if they don't agree to their request, they will immediately cut down Lord Tuhai, and then everyone will fight to the death."
"Tuhai is the commander of the original Mountain Infantry Regiment that was caught" Roddy frowned and let go of the officer.
Seeing that the mountain army below was getting more and more excited, under the light of the torches, everyone had angry expressions on their faces, swords in their hands, and some had already aimed their bows and arrows at the cavalry of the Southern Legion behind.
Roddy could only see the torch fire from a distance, and on a dark horse in the cavalry of the Southern Legion, Camus was wearing full armor, squinting his eyes, and his face gradually showed murderous energy.
He bowed his head and said something to one of the officers beside him.
The officer immediately shouted after receiving the order: "The troublemakers have listened to the order of the commander of the Camus regiment, and you should immediately lay down your weapons and return to the barracks within a quarter of an hour, otherwise you will violate military law and be killed."
He said again in the imperial Chinese language and again in the mountain language.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar among the mountain army.
The officer under Camus did not care at all, raised his spear high, and shouted: "All the troops are in line."
With a swipe, all the knights in the cavalry queue lowered their spears in unison, and the spearheads were pointed at the mountain army.
"Enter," the officer shouted again.
The cavalry queue slowly took a few steps ahead, and the oppressive momentum of the landing filled the audience, and in the midst of slaughter, the noisy mountain army was silent.

Everyone gritted their teeth and stared at the black-pressed cavalry in front of them, and the spears in their hands like a forest.
The leading mountain officer didn't seem to be a fool, and he knew in his heart that in such an open terrain, fighting with the cavalry was definitely looking for death.
What's more, the other party is an elite cavalry team under the commander of the Camus Legion With a sad expression on his face, he shouted, "Lord Camus, we have always respected you, do you want to kill all our mountain people?"
The shout was filled with unyielding and resentment, and the officer's eyes glared at Camus as if they were about to erupt with rage.
I only heard Camus's voice: "You are all soldiers of the empire, I naturally don't want to kill people, as long as you put down your regimental commander and then retreat to the barracks, I will naturally be the master of other things" These words spread throughout the audience, and everyone heard them clearly.
The officer had a hesitant look on his face.
Camus has prestige in the East Pole, and he does what he says, and he is highly admired by everyone.
But he also knew in his heart that Camus was resolute, and if he wanted to kill someone, he would turn his face down, and he would never leave a trace of affection.
If you fight hard at this moment, I am afraid that most of these brothers will die tonight.
Just when he hesitated, a voice in the mountain army said loudly: "What nonsense, their imperial people will oppress us mountain people and fight for them."
These words came from the mountain army, and the person who spoke was hidden in the queue, and it was not known who said it.
As soon as these words came out, they just added fuel to the fire, and immediately many emotional mountain soldiers shouted: "Fight hard" Camus and Luo Di on the city wall both sank in their hearts, and Luo Di faintly felt bad in his heart, these mountain troops mutinied, and someone added fuel to the fire at a critical moment just now, so naturally someone deliberately provoked it.
I'm afraid that some of those tribes have infiltrated the barracks Seeing that his subordinates were excited, the officer could only grit his teeth and say loudly: "Lord Camus, it's not that we don't believe you.
It's just that this Tuhai, who oppressed us too much on weekdays, and the brothers didn't receive their salaries for two months, just the day before yesterday, a few brothers came to him to reason, but he didn't want him to kill two on the spot, we really can't swallow this Tuhai is the governor's nephew, today we let him go, I'm afraid tomorrow everyone will be finished" "Yes, I can't let him go" "Can't put it" Countless voices were loudly clamoring, and there was another commotion.
Camus's face was gloomy, he took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I already know about Tuhai, if you let him go, I will naturally deal with me Camus has been in the south for ten years, have you ever said a word to deceive you?"
These words rang loudly, and everyone immediately closed their mouths.
I can't help but loosen my heart.
They all knew in their hearts that although Camus was strict, under the prestige of the southeast, he usually said the same, and as long as he presided over justice today, since he agreed, most of them would not regret it.
In the silence, the same voice in the army shouted again: "Most of the imperial people are cunning, don't be fooled and fight with them" Before he could finish his words, Camus suddenly yelled: "What kind of sneaky person has the courage to stand up and talk to me" As soon as he drank suddenly, his voice was like a sudden thunderclap in mid-air, and the man's voice immediately stopped.
Camus's eyes were clear: "Stand up and talk to me, you mountain people have even done the crime of kidnapping the chief tonight, don't you dare to come out and say a word to me?"
When the mountain army heard this, they all shouted loudly: "Why don't you dare to go out and tell him that the mountain people have no seeds?"
As everyone's eyes were focused, the mountain army formation slowly loosened, several soldiers dodged one after another, retreated a few steps, and a man in a military uniform stood in the middle with a strange expression.
This person is about thirty years old, his face is dark, and his eyes are spinning at the moment, and there is a bit of fear in his eyes.
Camus snorted coldly: "Don't you have something to say, report your rank first" The man was so stumbling that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The officer at the head of the mountain also looked puzzled, and frowned: "Which battalion are you Lord Camus asking, just say don't be afraid, don't fall into the majesty of our mountain warriors."
The man's eyes were rolling around, his face turned red, and he said slowly: "I'm from the second battalion."
"Nonsense" Camus snapped: "What about your chief, let him come out" As soon as Camus finished speaking, a majestic mountain man came out, looked at the man, and said loudly: "Lord Camus, he is not from my camp, he is the family of a brother in the camp."
"Hmph" Camus smiled coldly: "If you are not a person in the barracks, how can you dare to wear a military uniform when you enter the barracks, and it is not a capital crime to carry weapons, you are making trouble tonight, but he is the one who provokes the head?"
As soon as these words came out, several soldiers standing next to the spy immediately looked at this person with strange faces.
Tonight it was this person who instigated everyone to have a big fight with Tuhai's subordinate officers, and then after the big trouble, Tuhai came out to suppress it, and this person also shouted and screamed, attracting many mountain soldiers, and finally made a mutiny under the anger of being suppressed for many days.
In the evening, everyone ran to the city gate to see the governor, and in the confusion, although they saw that he was also wearing a military uniform and standing with everyone, but no one cared too much to go to their hearts.
Camus narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Mixed into the army, the gossip confuses the crowd to take it" The two cavalrymen immediately answered, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the mountain army.
The man's eyes rolled, and he immediately screamed, "I'm a mountain man, are you going to kill us all?"
This voice immediately caused a commotion, and several mountain soldiers standing on the periphery immediately pointed their swords at the approaching cavalry, preventing them from approaching.
The man continued to yell: "The empire oppresses us too seriously, and the mountain warriors are too heavy, can we just let them bully, kill them, and turn the other way around."
As soon as these words came out, thinking of the oppression and humiliation on weekdays, a small half of the soldiers immediately shouted loudly.
Although the mountain officer who was originally the leader still had some sense, he sighed in his heart when he saw that a small number of his subordinates were clamoring, and his face gradually sank.
Although he gathered a crowd to make trouble, he just wanted to seek justice, and he didn't want to really rebel.
It's just that looking at the current situation, it's no longer something he can control.
After all, the mountain people are of a different race, and their mood is fierce and simple-minded, coupled with the chaotic situation tonight, half of the people have lost their calm under the encouragement, and with the commotion, although the other group of people are still a little sober at this moment, they see that their companions around them are shouting, and they gradually lose their calm.
Roddy looked at it from afar, anxious.
Gritted his teeth and looked at Rand beside him, and said in a low voice: "No, let the soldiers on the city wall be ready for archers" Rand's face was resolute, and he immediately went down to give the order.
He was the duke's attendant, and although the defenders were also frightened at the moment, they were barely lined up and prepared.
Luo Di looked at these rabble defenders, shook his head in his heart, and thought to himself that relying on these people, if there was no Camus under the city, Purple Leaf City might not be captured tonight You must know that under the sudden mutiny, although the city gate was closed, the drawbridge over the moat was not closed, and once the mutinous soldiers made a fuss, they really attacked the city.
If it weren't for the people brought by Camus outside the city, I'm afraid it would be really dangerous.

"How can I think of a way to kill that spy first."
It's just that the person who provoked was very cunning, hiding straight in the mountain army formation, and definitely didn't take a step out.
Luo Di calculated in his heart, estimated the distance between himself and that person, and wondered if he could kill that guy with one arrow.
Roddy was thinking when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound breaking through the air.
Immediately there was a scream from the city, and the spy had a wolf's tooth arrow stuck in his forehead, and he had already fallen to the sky, and the bright red blood mixed with the white brains flowed to the ground, and the mountain soldiers beside him were all frightened and retreated.
Roddy was also shocked by this sudden change, and his heart moved, and he immediately looked over the city gate.
In the night, a tall figure stood on the roof at the top of the tower, and the evening breeze blew the corners of his clothes to hunt.
The man had a strange longbow in his hand, nodded to Roddy from afar, and then, with a flip of his body, jumped from the castle tower and disappeared into the night.
"Dark," Roddy couldn't help but chuckle.
He really couldn't imagine that Duck was still following him, he really kept his promise and didn't assassinate him again, but tonight he actually showed up to help Seeing that the city was already in trouble, Roddy had no time to think about anything else, and his eyes fell on the city again.
Camus was also taken aback.
Before he could react.
The mountain soldiers were already shouting and screaming.
Someone shouted: "The people of the empire have killed people" "They killed and fought and fought" "It's the other way around" In the confusion, many people with swords were about to rush towards Camus's cavalry.
"Stop" on the city tower, Luo Di suddenly shouted, at the critical moment, he was lucky, raised his feet and stood on the bricks and tiles of the city wall, and the whole person stood on the edge of the city wall.
His loud shout was full of anger, although everyone was in a noise, everyone could hear it clearly, and the sound was like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts, and everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but look at the city wall.
In the night, in the light of a torch, Roddy stood proudly on the city wall, his body bursting with pale golden arrogance, his blonde hair flying, and his eyes swept across the audience like electricity.
The aura on his body was like a bewitching flame, making Roddy look like a killing god in the night.
Luo Di shouted: "The people in the city, listen to me, I am the Duke of Tulip of the Empire, the southeastern envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor, you gathered to mutiny tonight, you were originally guilty of a capital crime, Lord Camus and I wanted to open the net, you are still gathered here, do you really want to rebel, have you thought about the consequences of the rebellion, most of your family members are in the city, don't you know the imperial decree, the rebels and the whole family are beheaded?"
Roddy's words spread throughout the audience in silence, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.
The blood of those originally noisy mountain soldiers immediately turned cold.
These mountain people were different from the aliens of the tribes in the mountains, they lived in the cities, and for many years they were under the jurisdiction of the empire, and most of their families were in the cities.
It is quite different from those mountain people who live deep in the mountains.
Hearing these words at this moment, everyone's heart sank.
Luo Di deliberately paused for a while, and then shouted loudly: "You gather people to make trouble, don't you just want to ask for justice, so I can give you justice" After speaking, Luo Di grabbed the bow and arrow on the body of a defender beside him, which was in his hand, snorted coldly, and bent the bow and arrow.
I only heard a "whew", and an arrow wrapped in golden aura shot down from the city wall, and the sound of breaking the sky was faintly like thunder.
"Plop" a muffled sound.
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Tu Hai, who was tied up by five flowers, didn't even have time to scream, and was pierced by the arrow, and the golden aura on the arrow exploded his chest, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he had already died Everyone was shocked by this sudden action, and even Camus didn't expect Roddy to do it.
Luo Di put down his bow and arrows, and glanced coldly at these mountain soldiers under the city, seeing that they were all full of surprise and disbelief. smiled coldly and said loudly: "Your justice, I have already given it to you, now I will give me dozens of times, everyone will put down your blades for me, and return to the camp in line, otherwise, they will all be punished as rebels and beheaded all over the house."
Everyone looked at each other, and the leading officer separated everyone, knelt down on one knee, and raised his head and said: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for administering justice for us, but, tonight's matter has already come out, this kidnapping of the chief and gathering a crowd to make trouble is also a capital crime, we can go, unless the Duke can ensure that tonight's matter will not be investigated, otherwise, everyone will also die" Speaking of this, he slowly stood up, without saying a word, just looked at Luo Di.
Luo Di snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Imperial military law, you have committed a capital crime, I will give you two ways to go, first, you immediately put down your weapons and go back to the camp, tonight's matter, I will only investigate the leader, and the rest will not ask the second, you might as well pick up your weapons, everyone will kill a happy one, but after you are reversed, I will immediately order that all your family in the city will be killed, and no one will be left."
The words "no one left" smashed into the hearts of these mountain soldiers, and many people softened their hearts when they thought of their parents in the city.
Luo Di didn't hesitate, and drank coldly: "One" The soldiers of the mountains below the city looked at each other.
"Two" The mountain soldiers all looked at the leading officer, whose face was covered with sweat and his face was cloudy.
"Three" Luo Di did not hesitate at all, and said coldly.
"Archers ready," the rand urn shouted.
Immediately a line of defenders stood above the city walls, each with a bow and arrow, and the arrows were aimed at the city.
"Four" Roddy's cold voice came again.
"Lord Duke," the officer yelled, "you can be said to be a good one, as long as everyone goes back, you will let everyone go and only take the lead."
Luo Di said coldly: "You only believe General Camus, can I Duke Tulip lie to you when I speak?"
The officer's body shook, thinking of Duke Tulip's prestige, he gritted his teeth, and finally took a deep breath: "Everyone put down their weapons" Luo Di nodded, and the "five" that had originally come to his lips stopped shouting.
Those mountain soldiers under the city, you look at me, I look at you.
Finally, a "ding" sound was heard, and someone took the lead in putting down the sword in his hand.
The first person laid down their weapons, and immediately the others laid down their weapons one after another.
I only heard the sound of jingle bells, and it turned out that there were a few brave and tough people, seeing that the people around them had given up, and seeing that the general trend had gone, they put down their weapons with everyone
