Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The night was pitch black.

A group of Brotherhood members, carrying guns, walked stealthily towards the slum's walls.

Ever since Father Solje left Holy City.

The Church had clearly noticed the unusual atmosphere in the slums.

But change was impossible; interests had their own structure. Giving money to the peasants could appease them, but whose money would be given?

The Church's internal relationships were intricate, and no one wanted to take the lead.

So, there was only one solution: strengthen the walls' defenses.

Originally, there were no guards outside the slums' walls. The 'rats' could be kept obediently in their territory with just an ideological imprint.

Now, although the ideological imprint was somewhat loosened, a little more force would suffice.

Thus, some guards were added outside the walls, with only two or three people guarding each wall hole.

Obviously, so few people were not enough.

When the Brotherhood team encountered the guards, everyone swarmed forward and, unsurprisingly, strangled them to death.

Xiao Shuai, leading the main force from behind, waved his hand as soon as his brothers succeeded, leading the crowd to surge out of the slums.

Under the cover of night, this group quietly detoured towards the Temple Mount along a small path.

Thanks to the lax military preparedness within Holy City, the journey was extremely smooth.

The main force quickly arrived near Temple Mount, while the rest of the men were ambushed in the shadows on the streets near the main street.

At this moment, the guards at the foot of Temple Mount were lazily chatting, with some leaning crookedly against the pillars, dozing off.

A gunshot suddenly rang out, startling the relaxed guards.

"Brothers! Follow me and kill!!!"

Xiao Shuai decisively fired the first shot, greatly boosting morale!

A guard fell in response.

He waved his hand, and the core members of the Brotherhood behind him stepped forward, raising their guns and firing!

Caught off guard, several guards were riddled with bullets in the dense gunfire.

Xiao Shuai swallowed excitedly: "Keep going! Kill anyone you encounter! Follow the plan!"

The main force began to climb the Temple Mount steps. Xiao Shuai grabbed a flare, lit it, and held it up to the sky.

With a whoosh, a brilliant firework shot into the sky.

Not far outside the city, Lai Gou'er's men had already ambushed.

Suddenly, a bright color appeared on the horizon, and Lai Gou'er's whole body shook: "Brothers, get ready to go!"

Hidden in the night, black shadows flashed across many locations.

Originally dispersed in various locations to conceal themselves, the soldiers began to gather at Lai Gou'er's location upon seeing the signal.

The Great Jing army began to advance towards the Holy City gate, carrying cannons.

Gunshots and fireworks had already drawn the attention of many soldiers within the city.

Even the most lax military preparedness could not ignore this situation.

Teams of patrolling soldiers began to rush towards Temple Mount to investigate the situation.

The main street led directly to Temple Mount.

Soon, many patrol teams converged on the main street.

But these teams of people completely failed to notice the murderous intent hidden in the shadows!

In a dark corner, twenty men with guns lay in ambush, intently listening to the approaching footsteps.

Opposite them was a pre-arranged explosive package.

A faint, almost imperceptible fuse ran across the entire street....

The Holy City soldiers walked quickly, and the captain at the front suddenly stopped everyone!

"Wait a minute! What is this thing!"

The Holy City soldiers at the front looked down and saw a bright spot running swiftly towards the dark corner of the street.

"Go and see!"

A group of soldiers full of curiosity about the world chased after the gunpowder fuse...

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the city, breaking the silence of this world.

Along with the explosion, there were also severed limbs and corpses thrown into the sky.

"Enemy attack!!! Enemy attack!!!"

The Holy City soldiers' miserable shouts rang out, along with the dense gunfire.

At this moment, even the stupidest soldiers realized what was happening!

The safest place in the world... was attacked!

On the main street, several more explosions rang out in succession.

The Brotherhood members hidden in the darkness suddenly emerged, firing bravely.

The Holy City soldiers were caught off guard for a time, and panicked, they began to flee in all directions.

However, they still had the advantage in numbers. The regular army quickly reacted and fought with the Brotherhood members.

The situation on Temple Mount was also extremely bad. As the crowd continued to advance.

The Temple's defense forces were obviously becoming increasingly dense. The battle unfolded, and all the military forces had been activated.

The armored men in front began to hold up their shields to meet the Brotherhood.

Everything began to heat up....

But at this moment, another unusual sound rang out at the city gate.

More than twenty Italian cannons fired simultaneously, blasting the city gate to smithereens in an instant!

Behind the city gate, a group of guards who had drunk fine wine and lay sprawled in disarray were blown several meters away by the shells in their sleep.

Lai Gou'er's gentle image was gone, and a surge of bloodlust filled his entire body.

He rode a horse, carried a gun, held a knife, waved it constantly, and shouted loudly: "Brothers! The great cause is accomplished! Follow me to storm Temple Mount! Those with headscarves are our own people, don't hurt them!"

Guns are certainly useful, but now nothing can boost morale more than swords!

Seeing Lai Gou'er waving his long knife, with an indomitable aura, the army's morale was greatly boosted.

Thousands of brave Great Jing soldiers rode their horses with Lai Gou'er to charge towards Temple Mount.

The ship did not have the capacity to carry a batch of horses for everyone.

The other part were foot soldiers, preparing to join the Brotherhood and entangle with the Holy City's defense forces.

At this moment, one of the most magnificent cities in the world was finally completely awakened!

The originally dark city gradually lit up.

Thousands of lights rose, and countless people who did not know what had happened fearfully opened their windows and peeked out to see what was happening.

The people near the main street, seeing the tragic war scene, were immediately frightened and quickly shrank back into their houses, tightly closing their doors.

Fearing it was not safe enough, they frantically piled everything they could find in their homes against the doors and windows.

.....

In the slums, countless people stood on tiptoe.

People from every household came out of their houses, looking towards the inner city with bewildered faces.

The sounds of gunfire, cannons, and firelight were constantly coming from above.

Da Zhuang and the others' hearts were pounding. Seeing that the situation had risen, they divided into three groups and immediately walked towards the crowd, each holding a small box.

"Brothers!! Someone is attacking Holy City from outside. Holy City has oppressed the people for a long time. The people in the city are rebelling!!"

"Now there is a lot of gold and silver, the jewelry stores are unguarded! No one cares at all! It's a profit if you grab it, come with me!!"

After saying that, Da Zhuang slammed the box in his hand hard into the sky.

Gold and silver coins flew in the air, falling.

Under the light of the fire, everyone stared blankly at the glittering jewels on the ground.

A bold idea rose in the minds of the onlookers....

.....

(Brothers, I haven't dared to speak at the end of the chapters these past few days, because I saw a bad review saying that it affects the reading experience, but very few people see what I post in the author's notes, which is especially uncomfortable. Today, I'll still tell everyone that I will make up for the leaves I took before, and I will have time to update continuously for a few days, please allow me to slow down)
