Manya City, the stronghold of the Amway Merchant Association.
Looking at the magic fireworks exploding in the sky, the players who were discussing the details of the operation in two days were stunned.
"Why did they send the signal now? Didn't they say it would start in two days? "
Caesar furrowed his brows.
They placed great importance on this operation and made ample preparations, but the time was too short. There were still many things that had not been arranged in the past two days.
In particular, the defense of the city had not been replaced by the Seventh Legion's' own people 'yet. It was still the responsibility of the soldiers loyal to the Imperium.
Not to mention, the nodes of the Divine Spell defensive barrier on the city walls were not destroyed. Manya City used the most complex and powerful defensive barrier, and the nodes were distributed throughout the city. Once activated, it was almost indestructible.
That was the most terrifying part. As the Holy City of the Eternal Church, the Divine Spell defensive barrier had terrifying energy. Once activated, the uprising would basically be declared a failure.
Thinking of the various unfinished tasks, the players' expressions turned solemn.
"Could it be … that something has happened?"
Caesar guessed.
"I'll contact the players hiding in the army and ask what happened."
Demacia thought for a moment before speaking.
After a while, his expression changed slightly.
"The operation has been exposed. There's a traitor in the Seventh Legion. Our deputy commander, Bowen, was killed. Commander Woolf is leading his personal guards to hunt down the senior officer who instigated the rebellion. The remaining senior officers have decided to bring forward the uprising."
Hearing this, the players' expressions turned solemn.
"Oh no! Doesn't that mean the plan is going to fail? "
A player asked worriedly.
Demacia shook his head lightly.
"Things haven't reached the worst point yet. Bowen has been keeping an eye on things. Other than the few most trusted and most devout personal guard captains, the other senior officers of the resistance army don't know how many participants there are. Their knowledge is limited. So, we still have a chance! Of course, the operation has to be brought forward. "
"We can't wait any longer. The Seventh Legion is very important. It's related to the success of the next operation. We have to plan ahead!"
Caesar said solemnly.
"I'll contact the informant in the Mercenary Guild and have the three large mercenary groups nearby support the rebels of the Seventh Legion!"
Caesar said hurriedly.
"I'll inform the Underground believers in the city."
Feng Yu also stood up from his seat.
"Then I'll take the remaining players and try to sneak into the tower. Let's see if we can take back control of the gate and destroy the nodes of the defensive barrier."
Demacia added.
After saying that, he looked at everyone again.
"Everyone, we're in a hurry. We have to do our best. If necessary, don't worry about the resurrection tokens."
"Don't worry."
"That's right, it's just some resurrection tokens."
"That's right. We're here to witness the history of Segers."
The players said one after another.
"Good! Let's split up and keep in touch! "
Demacia was delighted.
"No problem!"
“OK！”
"Don't worry!"
After that, the players changed into black windbreaker robes with golden scepters and falcon hoods. They looked like assassins in large-scale action games, mysterious and handsome.
It was said that this Assassin costume was custom-made by Demacia, and every player participating in this event had one.
After that, everyone put on the golden armbands on their right arms, picked up the weapons that were convenient for movement, and left the stronghold one after another.
…
At the stronghold of the Seventh Legion.
Surrounded by his personal guards, Commander Woolf stood in front of the legion's campsite with an unpleasant look on his face.
It was chaos in the campsite. The empire's soldiers were divided into two distinct factions and were fighting with each other.
Among them, most of them wore the golden armbands on their right arms. They looked fanatical, and under the leadership of a high-ranking officer, they were fighting with the guards loyal to the commander.
Flags that had obviously been prepared long ago were raised high up in the air and waved nonstop.
The flags were red with the golden Scepter of Life, fluttering in the wind.
Woolf's face became gloomier.
Looking at the guards who were retreating under the suppression of the rebel army, he snorted angrily, drew his sword, and raised it high.
"My knights! Follow me and suppress this motley crew! "
Behind him, the Gold Knights loyal to the Woolf family raised their weapons and followed him into the battle.
Most of these Gold Knights were low-level nobles with powerful strength. When they joined the battle, the rebel army, whose average strength was only at the lower Silver level, instantly felt a lot of pressure.
Traces of chaos began to appear among the troops.
The operation was too hasty after all.
Although the high-ranking officers were already prepared, the soldiers were not.
Even though most of the soldiers had a good impression of the Church of Life, many of them were not mentally prepared to resist.
However, at this time, a young high-ranking officer stood out.
He raised the rebel flag, waved it, and roared:
"Brothers! For equality, for freedom! For a beautiful and pure future! Charge! "
After he finished speaking, a golden light bloomed on his body, and an obscure wave spread out. The rebel army that was covered by the light had their morale boosted, and they felt their bodies were full of energy.
It was the eighth circle buff spell [Morale Boost].
Seeing the young officer's appearance, Woolf was furious.
He recognized that it was the young officer that he had high hopes for, a Gold Knight who was proficient in both magic and martial arts, and an expert in area buff spells.
"Fab — bi — an!"
He gritted his teeth and said.
A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed a longbow from a soldier, pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow in Fabian's direction.
The arrow that carried the light of the skill shot out like a stream, bringing about waves of wind. It passed through the crowd and went straight for the high-ranking officer's chest.
"Captain Fabian!"
The rebel army around him exclaimed.
Fabian's expression was painful. He looked at the fatal wound on his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly fell down.
However, just as the flag in his hand was about to be overturned, another high-ranking officer stood out.
With red eyes, he took the flag, waved it, and roared:
"Brothers, charge! Avenge Fabian! Avenge Captain Bowen! "
"Long live the Church of Life! Long live equality! Destroy these corrupt nobles! "
Following the roar of the high-ranking officer, the rebel army's morale was boosted again.
With red eyes and ferocious expressions, they shouted: "Long live the Church of Life! Long live equality! " One after another, they charged toward Wolfe's guards.
Looking at the unprecedented fighting spirit and fighting spirit of these army soldiers who were usually sloppy, Woolf's eyes widened in disbelief.
He did not understand what kind of black magic the Church of Life had cast on these bastards to make them so crazy.
"Crazy … They've all gone crazy!"
He cursed as he cut down the Resistance Army soldiers who were charging at him. At the same time, he looked at the personal guard beside him.
"Did you inform the nearby mercenary groups? Tell them to come and help suppress the rebels here! Also, send a signal to the city guards to close the city gates! Activate the Divine Barrier! "
Wolfe roared.
There were three large mercenary groups stationed outside Manya City.
They were often called upon by the Empire to assist the Empire's legions in various battles. Therefore, although they were not part of the Empire's army, they were no different from the Empire's legions in many cases.
The number of rebels that rebelled far exceeded Wolfe's imagination, and the high-ranking legions that rebelled were also far from those in the intelligence report. At this moment, Wolfe even suspected that most of the soldiers and officers in the entire legion had defected.
Although his personal strength was very strong, and although the knights loyal to his family were more powerful than the legion's officers on average, there was no qualitative change until they reached the Legend rank.
The strength of an individual was still somewhat insignificant in front of the collective. Facing the rebel army that was constantly surging like a huge wave, Wolfe's pressure was increasing.
The situation was completely out of control …
Wolfe led his guards and kept retreating under the counterattack of the rebel army. They were forced out of the camp step by step.
On the ground, the ground was already stained with blood, which was left behind by the rebel army's corpses. Their losses were even heavier, but the huge sacrifice did not diminish their fighting spirit.
"Lunatics! This group of lunatics! "
Looking at the ferocious soldiers, Wolfe's facial features were distorted, but in the depths of his pupils, there was an inexplicable trace of fear.
He did not understand.
He really did not understand.
He couldn't understand why these soldiers, who were part of the Imperial Guards and had the best treatment, would want to rebel and resist …
It was clear that they only needed to listen to orders, and it was clear that they only needed to obey.
But now, these soldiers who usually did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of the nobles dared to point their swords at them at this moment!
Wolfe was at a loss.
Of course, he would never know what the soldiers who were born as civilians wanted.
He did not know that the treatment he thought was good, but for many soldiers, it was only enough to maintain food and clothing.
He also did not know that the strict hierarchical system and the conflict between the nobles and the commoners had long been buried in the army. It was just that it had always been suppressed because of the powerful power of the nobles.
When the new decree was issued, when the families and friends of the soldiers were affected, when dissatisfaction rapidly brewed in their hearts, the anger that had been accumulating for a long time finally exploded.
At this time, the arrival of the Life Church let them see another beautiful new world that they had described. It ignited a new force in their hearts, a new belief …
An army that did not know why they were fighting and an army that had ideals and beliefs were completely different.
"Stop them! Quickly stop them! "
Wolfe raised his sword and roared.
The rebel army closed in step by step, and the knights around him were getting fewer and fewer. Although they were individually strong, they were under the "protection" of the archers.
This time, even he was exhausted from blocking again and again.
"Where are the mercenary groups?! Where are the three damn mercenary groups?! Why aren't they here yet? "
He asked with red eyes.
"Captain, they should be here soon!"
The personal guard said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot in the head by a stray arrow and fell softly to the ground.
"Klein!"
Looking at the fallen personal guard, Wolfe's expression was pained.
His eyes were red as he gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn you traitors! Damn the Life Church! "
Wolfe took a deep breath and glanced at the increasing number of rebels. A hint of unwillingness to retreat flashed in his eyes.
He bit his lip and no longer insisted. Instead, he raised his longsword and ordered:
"Retreat! We're retreating! "
Following his command, the personal guards escorted him and began to rush out of the camp.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves, footsteps, and the clashing of weapons and armor came from afar.
Wolfe hurriedly looked at the source of the sound and saw dust rising from the ground in another direction.
Soon, a large number of mercenary cavalry and professional mercenaries with different equipment appeared in his sight.
Three different flags fluttered in the mercenaries' ranks.
Those were the three large mercenary groups stationed in another direction.
At this moment, they had finally arrived.
Seeing the mercenaries, Count Wolfe was overjoyed.
"Tim! Finn! "Maximilian!" Come and help! Suppress these rebels! "
He shouted.
Those were the names of the three mercenary group leaders. They were riding on horses and rushing to the strongest side.
However, before Wolfe's voice died away, he saw the three leaders suddenly raise the crossbows in their hands and shoot in the direction of him and his personal guards without hesitation.
With a few swoosh sounds, the three personal guards were killed on the spot.
Count Wolfe was stunned and then furious:
"Bastard! What are you doing? Are you going to rebel too?! Have you forgotten the remuneration I paid you?! "
The leader of the largest mercenary group and also the leader of the three mercenary groups, "Hound" Tim, stood out.
He put away the crossbow in his hand and looked at Count Wolfe and his personal guard with an expressionless face. He said calmly,
"Lord Wolfe, I'm very sorry. The rebels paid a higher commission than you in advance, so … we're now loyal to them."
Wolfe was stunned, then he shouted angrily:
"Bastard! Untrained hyenas! How much gold pounds did they give you? I'll pay three times! "
"No, Lord Wolfe, you can't afford the price they offered."
The mercenary group leader shook his head lightly.
Count Wolfe was so angry that he laughed:
"Ridiculous! They're just a group of commoners, how much money can they have?! Tim, give me a price! Our Wolfe family has plenty of money! "
"I've said it before, you can't give what they offered."
Tim shook his head lightly.
Wolfe's expression instantly turned ugly:
"What did they give you? Two million gold pounds? Three million gold pounds?! "
"No …"
Tim shook his head lightly once again.
As he took out a golden armband and wore it on his right arm, he said solemnly:
"What they gave was equality and freedom, a beautiful future …"
Wolfe was stunned for a moment.
