HCB Chapter 305 Rebel Cub
Chapter 305 Rebel Cub
At this time, the city hall was already in a tense situation. Paulino and the Basque mayor stared at each other. After a long time, the Basque mayor said seriously:
"Are you going to rebel?"
"Mayor, please take back this statement. We are not rebelling. We just hope you can sign it."
"Again, I won't sign without the general's signature, and I'm leaving here."
After the Basque mayor finished speaking, he was about to stand up and walk towards the gate, but soon an officer from the patrol army stopped him and said:
"Mr. Mayor, there is some commotion outside. It is better for your safety to stay here."
Looking at the closed door in front of him, the Basque mayor originally hoped to attract the attention of the guards outside the door, but no one came in for such a long time, which meant that the outside had been controlled by these people.
At this moment, the patrol soldiers on the streets were running in groups in all directions, which made the people nearby feel very surprised. Why were these patrol soldiers who did nothing every day so active in patrolling today?
"I said, maybe something went wrong."
A citizen said worriedly, after all, there had never been such a phenomenon of mobilizing a large number of troops to run around in the city before.
"What can happen?"
A citizen nearby said nonchalantly:
"As long as the Rana army doesn't come back, even if the sky falls, we have the city council and the Midland army to hold it up, so it won't fall on us ordinary citizens."
However, he added:
"Let's go home now. If something happens, don't let us get involved."
……
"hurry up!"
A group of soldiers were gathering near a warehouse at the Patrol Army headquarters, and they were constantly carrying boxes out of the warehouse. The leading officer dusted off the boxes and ordered them to be opened.
As a cloud of dust rose, shells appeared in the officer's field of vision.
"Centurion, where should this cannon be placed?"
At this moment, several soldiers pushed out a long-barreled cannon from the warehouse. Although the cannon lacked maintenance and was covered with a layer of dust, the black muzzle proved to everyone that if this thing really fired a shell, the damage caused could not be underestimated.
"I hope this cannon can be fired and not explode."
The centurion thought so and ordered:
"Everyone, bring your artillery, shells, and gunpowder to the north gate and kill anyone who stands in your way!"
Alonso returned to the city defense headquarters and immediately summoned all the city defense officers and soldiers on the scene. Except for those stationed on various city walls and those on leave, the entire headquarters had only about a hundred soldiers.
Although the officers and soldiers did not understand why their superiors suddenly asked them to gather urgently, they still arrived at the training ground of the headquarters one after another in a short time.
Looking at the ignorant soldiers in front of him, Alonso immediately cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone, I just received accurate information. The patrol army surrounded the city hall and placed the Basque mayor under house arrest. It is obvious that they are trying to overthrow the parliament by force."
"We must gather our forces ahead of them, and then capture all of them in one fell swoop and restore the original order in Basque! Now, everyone, head towards the south gate immediately!"
After giving the order, Alonso called his followers and said:
"Go to the Chamber of Commerce and find the leaders of those mercenary groups immediately. Tell them that no matter how much money is enough, they should go out of the east gate to the suburbs to gather their own soldiers, and then go to the south of the city to join my city defense forces and attack the patrol army together."
"Also, go to the port and tell the garrison there that their superior, Sander, has been captured by the patrol army. If they don't want to lose their jobs in the future, go to the city hall immediately to eliminate those rebels. You have to do it quickly!"
"What! The general ran away!"
In the city hall, after learning the news, Paulino's eyes flashed with surprise. Now is not the time to delay. If he cannot get the document with the general's seal and signature immediately, then what he had done before will no longer have any legitimacy.
"You guys stay here and have the soldiers retreat to the city hall. If anyone who isn't ours approaches here, just shoot them with crossbows."
After saying this, Paulino left the city hall. When his car returned to his house, the whole living room was in chaos.
"I told you this wouldn't work. Now that the general has run away, it won't be long before all of us become rebels."
"Otherwise, leave the Basque Country right now while the chaos is going on outside, or you will be guillotined tomorrow."
Listening to the noise, Paulino felt a nameless fire burning in his heart. He hadn't even started a head-on confrontation with the enemy yet, and he was already discussing breaking up.
“Who wants to leave!”
He immediately roared, and then said to everyone in horror:
"It's okay to think about it now, but don't forget, if you leave Basque you will just be a group of refugees and beggars, even worse than the tenant farmers in the village."
"If you want to live a good life, then continue to work with me. If you fail, people will call you a traitor. If you succeed, you will be a hero of the country!"
After saying this, Paulino continued to ask:
"Have all the centurions of the 300th City Defense Army arrived at the East Gate?"
"They have gone with their army."
"Tell them not to let anyone go. If the mercenaries outside the East Gate want to attack the city by force, just use the artillery on the city wall to drive them away!"
"Now, everyone present, including the centurions of the 57th City Defense Army, come with me to the South City Gate to see how our old friend is doing."
Looking at the South Gate in front of him without any abnormality, Alonso felt relieved. The road of this gate leads to Lana's fortress city. If Lana's army attacks, they will definitely take this road, so Alonso deployed five centuries here to defend this place.
After summoning the five centurions here, Alonso successfully gained control of the army here. Just as he was about to wait for the arrival of the mercenary group, a messenger immediately came to him and shouted nervously:
"Sir, a group of patrol soldiers are coming towards the south gate. There are probably several hundred of them."
Alonso immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle in a defensive formation. Soon, under the moonlight, a team of several hundred people was marching towards him.
"How are you, Master Alonso?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Alonso thought about it in his mind and knew who it was, so he shouted:
"Paulino, how dare you lead people to surround the city hall? Do you know that you are breaking the law now?"
"No, listen to me, we just hope you can cooperate with us..."
Alonso was so angry that he laughed when he heard this, and then he continued to shout angrily:
"We, the city defense army, would rather die than go along with a traitor like you."
"I don't think so. Look who we have here."
As soon as the words fell, two familiar voices sounded from Paulino's team:
"Sir, please don't be so excited. Lord Paulino is only trying to get rid of the insect Sander. He has no hostility towards you."
"That's right, sir. Please lead the troops back."
Alonso was furious at this time. If he couldn't even recognize the voice of his own centurion, then he had worked in vain as the captain of the city defense army for so many years. It was obvious that there were traitors among his men, and there was more than one.
He no longer cared about what was being said over there. He just saw Alonso running up the wall and yelling at Paulino’s team:
"You bunch of rebel bastards, I'm going to blow you all up into the sky with my artillery!"
