Broad World

Chapter 916: The Rise of Anomen

Just when Henry was about to unify the underground guild of Calimport, Sir Pighead also brought nearly 2,000 exhausted members of the Mutual Aid Society day and night to feel the green field and the city of Kezula in the south of the Viper Forest.

They are tired and hungry now, plus they haven't slept for a few days, most of them have reached the limit of their physical strength, and the reason why they haven't fallen down is because Anomen is constantly boosting morale, making everyone believe that they will be able to Siege the city.

Although he has completely lost the ability of a priest, he is still a strong fighter, especially after participating in the magic war in the city of Suodanisla, his combat level has risen sharply, surpassing that of the Knights of the Hot Heart many senior members of the

At this moment, everyone gathered in the grove not far from the city gate to cut down trees to make ladders and rams for attacking the city.

Since there are many craftsmen and craftsmen among the members of the Mutual Aid Association, it is not difficult for them to make these simple things. The blacksmith in the team even melted a few tools to make nails.

While everyone was busy, Sir Pig headed two of his subordinates to investigate carefully near the city wall, trying to find a way to reduce casualties.

You must know that the land of Faerun is too dangerous, so even the simplest city will build high walls, arrow towers and strong gates, not to mention the city of Kezula, which is close to the forest of poisonous snakes.

In fact, the history of Kezula City is not very long, but it can be traced back hundreds of years ago. At that time, a large number of gold mines were discovered nearby, so it quickly attracted a large number of gold diggers, and finally more and more people gathered together. formed the city.

However, the prosperity brought by the gold rush did not last long. Two hundred years later, the gold mines gradually dried up, and this place fell into a difficult period overnight. It was not until about 50 years ago that someone suddenly discovered gemstone mines before it developed again. In addition, not far to the east is Esputa, the largest military goods production base in Amn, so a large number of weapons and armor have been hoarded in the city. And ironclad, enough to arm thousands of troops.

There are many reasons why Anomen chose this city as a base. The rich gemstone mine is one aspect, and the rich material reserves are another aspect. In addition, it can cut off the six-person council and Esputa. trade relations. So it's a complete win.

It has to be said that he has a pretty good strategic vision who has received an elite education, and he has spotted the lifeline and weakness of the council at a glance. As long as the night attack succeeds for a while, the civil strife in Amn will erupt immediately.

Of course, in addition to these, Sir Pighead also has an insidious purpose, which is to block the flow of food from the green field into Amn, so that the small amount of food in the hands of the council cannot feed the densely populated people on both sides of the Esmer River. residents.

Once the food supply is tight, the contradictions and class antagonisms will immediately become acute. At that time, as long as you raise your arms and shout to hit the merchants and nobles, and divide their property and land equally, you will get widespread response from the people in an instant.

Like all good knights who have fallen utterly. Anomen no longer cared about whether the means were evil or not. The only result he wanted was to overthrow the council of six. As for how many people would die in the process, he didn't care at all.

Looking at the guards patrolling back and forth on the city wall, a young man trained as an officer lowered his voice and asked, "General, do you think we can capture this city?"

After leaving Askatla, this group of terrified mutual aid members learned that Sir Pighead not only gave up his status as the heir to the nobility for them. Moreover, he also abandoned the knight order he was loyal to, and everyone was so moved that they vowed to follow his leadership, overthrow the rule of the six-member council, and establish a government that truly belonged to the people. For this reason, they even changed their title to general.

"Of course! There are only fifty soldiers patrolling the city wall, and the number of soldiers who are on standby in the tower will not exceed two hundred. We have more than one thousand and eight hundred people. It is nine times that of the other side, and counting the night Sneak attack, the success rate is almost 100%. Don't worry, I guarantee you will have a bright future." As he spoke, Anomen patted his confidant on the shoulder vigorously.

The reason why he was so sure was that he had seen through the reality of Kezula City. Although the city claims to have an army of 1,500 men, most of them are militias. This also means that when the danger is foreseen, the city hall will recruit these people, and it can only maintain a regular army of 500 people.

Subtracting the number of people who need to maintain order during the day, Sir Pig can easily calculate how many people are on guard at night, so he is full of confidence in the upcoming attack and believes that he will be able to bring the city under control.

Because in the process of marching these days, he has already promoted the 300 qualified soldiers who have been trained and seen blood, and let the remaining 1,500 people form a certain combat effectiveness by means of veterans leading new soldiers. As long as the speed is fast enough to control the situation before the opponent has time to make a countermeasure, victory is within easy reach.

"General, do we need to clean up those damned nobles and merchants in the city when we reach the peak?" Another young man trained as an officer asked with hatred on his face.

His brother died at the hands of Amn's elite soldiers, and he hated the ruling class who ordered the slaughter.

Without even thinking about it, Anomen clenched his fists and said decisively: "That's right! These moths must be cleaned! Their existence is a hazard! They must be completely eradicated!"

As soon as the words were finished, a short half-body man ran over panting: "General! Our engineering equipment is ready! When will we start? Should we rest until dawn, or attack immediately?"

"Immediately! Let everyone gather and launch an attack in five minutes, and strive to resolve the battle within fifteen minutes. Our people are hungry, and the longer we wait, the worse it will be. Take this city as soon as possible so that everyone can eat abdomen."

As a qualified commander, Sir Pighead knows that it is the most correct choice to go all out now. Although he has never had the opportunity to command a large-scale battle before, the instructions he learned in books are enough to crush the bureaucrats in Kezula City.

After all, the city has not experienced war for too long, and both vigilance and defense capabilities have dropped drastically. In addition, the highest military commander is also held by the mayor. He really can't think of any reason for himself to lose. Lose.

The halfling who received the order gave a very standard military salute and ran back to the camp barefoot. A few minutes later, more than 1,800 people formed a loose formation.

Although they had various armors and weapons, and some of them didn't even have any clothes to cover their bodies, they all had firm gazes. The massacre in front of the Askatla council building a few days ago made these people recognize the real face of the ruler. Therefore, they all held back a wave of evil fire, ready to vent it all in the coming attack.

Seeing that the morale was available, the corners of Anomen's mouth were slightly upturned, showing an imperceptible evil smile, followed by Zhenyong and pulled out the mace and shield hanging from his waist. Taking a deep breath, he said slowly: "My brothers and sisters! We just experienced a failure a few days ago, an unprecedented tragic failure! The six-member council known as the service of the people tore off their hypocritical masks , launched a massacre against us, the true master of Amn. We fled shamefully! We left behind those comrades and partners who were willing to trust us and live and die with us.”

"I know you must feel very humiliated, sad and angry at this moment! But it's okay! We have a second chance! See the city behind me? As long as we occupy it, we can use the wealth inside to form an army The real army, face to face with the Council of Six! Send all these bastards to the guillotine! Amn is the Amn of the people! Not the Amn of those vampires!"

"That's right! Cut off the heads of these bastards!"

"The nobles and merchants in this country don't have a single good thing!"

"They all deserve to die!"

...

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and some guys who lost their blood relatives in the riot even flushed red, and their eyes almost burst into flames.

You must know that Faerun Continent has never advocated those disgusting retribution or forgiveness. In this land, revanchism is prevalent, and everyone will try their best to get revenge and do it themselves if they are capable. Those who are incompetent will hire adventurers. In short, they will do whatever they want, even the good camp is no exception.

"Very good! Now is the time to take the first step to realize your dreams! Come with me! Let the city of Kezula tremble under our justice!" Anomen shouted slogans. Taking the lead, they charged towards the city gate.

As the saying goes, a lion leading a flock of sheep can fight a group of lions led by a sheep.

In the war of the cold weapon era, the brave will always win when we meet on a narrow road!

The distance from the woods to the city wall is only a few hundred meters, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the front, and a vigorous offensive and defensive battle began.

Before the defenders on patrol had time to react, they were caught off guard in an instant. Although the alarm bell was sounded in time, it was too late.

Just a few minutes. A large number of members of the Mutual Aid Society climbed up the city wall. Under the leadership of Sir Pighead, they quickly defeated the enemy and were blocked in the tower. People achieve their goals.

But Anomen knew that just occupying the city wall was not enough. It is also necessary to occupy the city hall of Kezula City. It is best to block the mayor and officials inside, so that the occupation can be completed without bloodshed, and the damage and self-loss can be minimized.

Among other things, he gave orders. Let his subordinates occupy and blockade several important warehouses, and he personally led people to cleanse the nobles in the city door to door.

Completely depraved, he had no intention of showing mercy. Every time he kicked open the door of a house, he let his subordinates slaughter to their heart's content, and then snatched all the valuable things inside, and even turned a blind eye to such things as rape.

In the second half of the night, the residents of the whole city could hear the screams, howls and women's cries, which never stopped even for a moment. Through such means, Sir Piggy finally won the loyalty and approval of his subordinates. They are now Worship him like a god, because Anomen has fulfilled his promise and truly distributed the wealth to everyone, while he took nothing.

How can such a commander not get the support of his subordinates!

With the fall of Kezula City, the Mutual Aid Society, which was originally just a group of mobs, was instantly upgraded to a regional warlord. Under the strong leadership of Sir Pighead, it finally completed the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change. The civil war in Amn is finally about to start!

When everyone was celebrating happily, no one noticed that a kestrel was released from a residential building, and it flew straight to the north and disappeared in the blink of an eye...
