Chapter 173: Hillens Riot

"Protest! Protest!"

"Peace! Peace! Bread! Bread!"

"We want peace! We want bread!"

"Severely punish the murderer!"

"..."

The streets of Hillens City were already in chaos. Countless civilians took the initiative to take to the streets, shouting various slogans, and walking towards the city government. Not only the citizens in the city, but also the civilians in the surrounding areas of the capital spontaneously. Take to the streets of your municipality and respond to your fellow capitalists.

"If it is said that there is no behind-the-scenes messenger, I will definitely not believe it! How could it be possible for those civilians to gather in such a short period of time?"

Hearing the slogans that swept through the whole city, the ministers of the Hildi Kingdom's cabinet gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"What if there are behind-the-scenes messengers? We don't even have a way to deal with them. The civilians of the entire Hierens city are boiling. If there is another shooting incident, the angry citizens may even surround the palace!"

"The only way now is to follow the public opinion and dismiss the officers who were in charge of the suppression that day. At the very least, the citizens must be appeased first. Now that this kind of thing is happening in the city before the enemy, there must be some Lumen people behind it!"

The official pointed out the problem sharply, and the others nodded in agreement: "Yes, let the citizens go back to their homes first, if this chaotic situation is not calmed down as soon as possible, we will would be very disadvantageous.”

The cabinet ministers quickly got a unified opinion and were ready to sign the order of dismissal and strict investigation, but at this moment, the closed door was suddenly knocked three times from the outside, and every time it was knocked, the middle would be knocked down. A five-second gap.

The expressions of the ministers changed slightly, which represented the arrival of the king.

Sure enough, after the door was knocked three times, the guard's shouts sounded outside the door:

"The King is here!"

At the same time as the voice fell, the door was pushed open from the outside by the soldiers of the Praetorian Guards wearing triangular caps with white sideburns. Surrounded by the soldiers of the Praetorian Guards, the old king with his belly straight appeared in everyone's sight. .

Looking at the old king, the ministers reacted differently. The prime minister was the first to react, bypassing the throne, walking to the king, gracefully patting his chest, and saying, "Your Majesty, why are you here today? ?"

The king did not answer immediately, his cloudy eyes swept over every minister in the room, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Prime Minister Barron, the Rumont army is less than a week away from the capital, but the citizens of Hillens took to the streets to protest the so-called brutality of the army. Is this how your cabinet runs the country?"

"Your Majesty, the cabinet has already discussed ways to deal with it, please don't be in a hurry." The Prime Minister replied in a hurry, "The citizens will go home soon, and the people of the whole country will unite against the Rumont invaders. "

"Really?" The old king snorted coldly, and said, "Is there any way your cabinet can make the citizens disperse, is it possible that it is the same old way of letting the army shoot and suppress violently?"

After the protests that swept the city, the army has once again assembled to take to the streets, protecting important areas in the city, and setting up cards to stop people at several intersections. Having learned from the previous experience, they no longer dared to shoot at civilians. .

"Of course not..." The Prime Minister opened his mouth and said, before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by dozens of gunshots resounding in the city!

"Is this what you said?" The old king was stunned after hearing the gunshots, but he quickly reacted and asked, "What's the matter with the gunshots outside?"

"This……"

The Prime Minister was also a little bit at a loss by the sudden sound of gunfire. He hesitated for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, this is an accident. The cabinet has ordered the army to refrain from shooting rashly. It is very likely that it was from the Lumontese. The agents are messing with it! It must be!"

It seemed that he had found the person who took the blame, and his tone became firmer at the back.

The old king was not impressed by his excuses. He looked at the prime minister coldly, and then ordered the attendants to go outside to inquire about the information. Rather than attacking the cabinet, he was more concerned about the firmness of his throne.

After the attendant left, the cabinet suddenly fell into a strange silence. Everyone was silent, waiting for the news brought by the attendant. The Prime Minister looked out the door from time to time, eager to see through. The location is also equal to the end.

While they were waiting, sporadic gunshots still sounded from time to time outside the city, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear shrill screams.

Soon, the attendant ran in anxiously.

"Your Majesty! It's all messed up!" he shouted to the old king. "The citizens ransacked the shops on both sides of the street and clashed with the troops who went to stop them. In the chaos, whoever fired the first shot, the soldiers followed suit. The crowd shot!"

"Then, then the whole city went haywire! Angry citizens began to lay siege to the army, and among them appeared to be unidentified armed men with rifles!"

Hearing this, the Prime Minister only felt his feet soften and almost collapsed to the ground. It's over, his prime minister career is over!

The reaction of King Hildi and his ministers after hearing the news is not listed for the time being. The chaos in the city of Hilens was indeed caused by the Rumont workers. The agents knew that it was impossible for civilians to take the initiative to attack the army. So they changed their strategy and let the civilians take the initiative to loot the shops - the temptation of such a "zero dollar purchase" is greater than the temptation to protest and demonstrate to the government. After the first person starts, more and more people join in. Robbery ranks.

How could the Greek troops who were deployed on the street could watch them loot, so the soldiers stepped forward under the command of the officers to stop the crowd from driving away the crowd, and the conflict happened, as someone took the initiative to fire the first shot~www.readwn .com~ The "atrocity" from a few days ago is repeated.

However, this time, the citizens did not flee in all directions. The angry crowd and the revolutionary groups who had mixed in with weapons besieged the army. Similar scenes were being staged all over the city. The city was a mess, no one was there There's no point in trying to find out who fired the first shot.

Under the sting of the tragic death of their relatives and friends, the citizens of Hillens stopped thinking that Rumont's army was fighting their army less than a week away from them, and they only wanted to avenge the tragic death of their relatives. , this emotion leads them to become a tool of exploitation.

The riots that swept the city did not last long, after orders were sent from the palace to the troops stationed near the capital, following orders to enter the town to suppress the rioters. The troops stationed in the surrounding area immediately entered the city to suppress the out-of-control thugs. At the moment of the enemy, there are a large number of troops stationed in the capital and surrounding areas.

Thousands of civilians were killed in this crackdown, and leaders of groups who wanted to lead the revolution were later arrested and imprisoned, but Rumont's workers were already empty when they were released.
