Chapter 540 Rebellion 8
The peaceful Babol Village was destined to experience an unpeaceful early morning.
At around three o'clock, except for some people with ulterior motives, all the villagers were sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, the dogs in the village began to bark wildly. From the first dog barking, all the dogs in the village began to bark in just a few minutes.
The noise made by the dogs was so loud that most people were awakened. For those who did not know the truth, some were angry and scolded these barking beasts, while others were worried that some bandits had entered the village. For those who knew a secret, their hearts seemed to be clamped by iron pliers.
Horse hoof sounds! A large number of horse hoof sounds rang on the avenue in the middle of the village. The sound was very dense, and only a large number of horses could create such a momentum, so that in the houses facing the street, those who were awakened from their sleep could clearly feel the vibration of the ground.
Even the bravest people did not dare to go out at this time. They could only muster up the courage to quietly peek at the situation outside through the gaps in the windows.
With a loud bang! The Fergus family mansion at the east end of the village was knocked open.
A large number of Arda soldiers armed with guns rushed into the mansion, with bayonets on the front of the guns, shining brightly under the light in the yard.
"You! Who are you? This is the mansion of Lord Fergus, who told you to break in?"
Several servants bravely shouted at the newcomers. Most of the people in the mansion were taken by Fergus to "hunt" in a flash, so there were relatively few people.
"I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find anyone after entering."
The leading officer smiled and gave an order that made the servants feel that something was wrong, "Tie them all up for me."
"Ah? Sir, please spare us!"
Several servants collapsed on the ground in fear. The intimidation just now didn't work. Of course, they knew that they had encountered a tough guy, so they decisively turned to pretending to be cowardly.
"Tied up!"
The officer waved his hand, unmoved.
"We are all family members, don't do anything."
A thin man with a mustache and a smiling face ran out from inside.
He came to the officer, nodded and bowed, and was extremely humble.
"My lord, I think you have misunderstood. This is the mansion of Lord Fergus. He is a knight loyal to Lord Graman. Judging from your dress, you must be loyal to Lord Graman's army. Since we are the same lord, we are all family members."
The officer looked up and down at the newcomer and asked, "Who are you?"
The mustache smiled slightly, "I am the butler here."
The officer's eyes widened at once, "Butler? Isn't that the closest lackey of the owner? You must know where Fergus is, tell me his location quickly."
He immediately slapped his forehead.
"No, you follow me now to find the battalion commander's instructor and lead the way for us."
Two soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the butler's arms on the left and right, and then dragged him out.
"Ah? No, no, no."
The butler struggled hard, shouting "There must be some misunderstanding here. You can't arrest a good person by mistake."
Although he said it was a misunderstanding, the butler's heart was as clear as a mirror. As the confidant of Fergus's confidant, he certainly knew what his master was going to do. When he first heard about his master's plot, the butler's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
That was enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!
What the butler couldn't figure out in his heart was how the news got out and how the army knew it so quickly.
He had already controlled the nearby signal station according to his master's instructions. Besides, Paul Graman had no chance to send information through the signal station. He was still surrounded in the mountains.
"Misunderstanding?" The officer snorted coldly, "We will soon know whether it is a misunderstanding."
He waved his hand, "Search! Pull out all the people in this mansion and take them away!"
In about half an hour, a bunch of people were tied up in the threshing ground of the village.
Fergus's butler saw this scene and made up his mind that he must not tell the army in front of him about his master's "hunting location" no matter what. Only when his master and the Lake Heart Town succeeded, the danger on his side could be resolved.
However, half an hour later, the butler told the soldier in charge of the interrogation the "hunting location" - he overestimated his will and endurance.
"That place is called Caracal Valley, with mountains in the north and south, and only two entrances in the east and west."
The butler's mouth hissed when he spoke, partly because of the pain in his face and partly because he lost a lot of teeth.
"Lord Fergus... No, it was the traitor Fergus... Ouch... He and his accomplices gathered more than 600 people from several nearby villages and blocked the lord inside. They planned to assassinate the lord tonight when the guards of the lord were off guard. If it still doesn't work... Ouch..."
He covered his swollen half face and cried in pain.
The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Carter Holly, grabbed his clothes and said, "What if it still doesn't work? Tell me quickly."
The content of the first post is in the 6-9 book bar!
"They will...they will..."
The housekeeper was frightened by the ferocious expression of the lieutenant colonel.
"They will set fire to the trees in the Manul Valley and use fire to achieve their goal."
Lieutenant Colonel Holly was shocked. It was too vicious!
"Quick, take a few people familiar with the terrain, and we will rush to the Manul Valley immediately!"
The lieutenant colonel made a decision immediately, and his men also took action immediately.
The officers and soldiers of the 8th Infantry Battalion rode their horses and galloped again. However, they had just left the village less than two miles away when they saw a light far away in the night.
...
"They really set the forest on fire! I must teach these villains a lesson."
Paul swore angrily, and he shouted to the outside: "Everyone, retreat to the camp quickly!"
The fire began to flash in the distance, burning bigger and bigger, and it was still windy now. The wind helped the fire, and soon the surrounding forests were ablaze with flames.
In order to leave Paul and others nowhere to hide, the traitors set fire in several directions.
The tents, which were flammable materials, had been dismantled. Not long ago, the uninjured soldiers also walked out of the camp and desperately began to pull weeds, hoping to prevent the fire from burning into the camp. But they did not have the right tools, and the efficiency of weeding was not high. Moreover, when the whole forest is on fire, what can a small fire stop do?
According to Paul's order, the soldiers outside the camp retreated.
Standing in the center of the camp was Ladi Setia. When everyone was busy, only this green-haired witch stood there motionless, with her eyes closed, and no one knew what she was doing or thinking.
Now when the fire was getting closer and closer, she suddenly opened her eyes.
