Section 17
In the office, Qin couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the reports submitted one after another.
These are the damage reports after being attacked by monsters in various places. The number of people, materials, land, etc. has almost doubled in just a few days.
"It seems that the situation is not very optimistic."
Su Chen picked up the two reports and read them.
As Qin's assistant, he knew these things very well.
"This is not the worst." Qin looked sad. "Right now, because of the fight between the Knights and the Earth Fire, more and more people are dissatisfied. If this continues, I'm worried that there will be riots."
"If you don't explode in silence, you die in silence." Su Chen smiled lightly, "Most people know about the things that history has witnessed, but few people can handle them well."
Qin was a little helpless: "You can still laugh."
"Maybe it's not a bad thing. It's better to make a fuss and let go of your emotions than to suppress it all the time."
Dihuo's actions really surprised Su Chen, and they were also very familiar.
Five hundred years later, it is indeed incredible that there are still people who would follow in his footsteps.
But Su Chen quickly thought of someone.
According to the game information, that 'lady', Rosalind, is in Mondstadt.
"I'm more worried. The Earth Fire has been suppressed to the point where there is very little left, but now it can explode with such great strength. I'm afraid there are shadows of other forces behind it." Qin said in a deep voice.
She was able to become the acting captain not only because of Gunnhild's identity, strength and intelligence. In the words of a certain fox, wisdom, beauty and strength coexisted.
Qin guessed that some people with ulterior motives wanted to use the earth fire to achieve their own goals.
So, who else can do this in Mondstadt today?
At this moment, a member of the Knights rushed in with a panic look on his face.
...
Chapter 17 A river of blood! [Seventh update, 4k! 】
"kill!!!"
"Kill! Kill these noble lackeys!"
"Kill Andre! He is the worm of Mondstadt. None of us can live well without him!"
In an alley in the eastern part of the city, a fierce battle was breaking out.
Members of the Knights wearing silver armor were fighting with a group of people. These people were wearing various colors of clothing, and most of their fighting tactics were chaotic and irregular.
They have all kinds of weapons in their hands, including hoes, wooden sticks, shovels... These are clearly a group of ordinary Mondstadt people!
Normally, the Knights fight to protect Mondstadt, and these people are the targets of their protection.
But the current situation is exactly the opposite.
Behind the knights, a man in noble attire was guarded by several knights, looking horrified.
Whoosh! ——
Several arrows flew towards them, but they were narrowly cut down by the knight.
The aristocratic man turned pale with fright and shouted angrily: "Kill them! Kill all these damn mobs!"
"Lord Andre, evacuate this place quickly!" a knight said anxiously.
"Withdraw? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want me, a noble, to flee in panic in the face of threats from a group of mobs? Look at these people, they are extremely filthy, they are the most despicable guys, and they actually want to force a noble !" the noble man said angrily.
"But... Mr. Andre, there are too many of them. If we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to hold on!"
"Then kill them all and take action! Oh damn, are the weapons in your hands just decorations? I order you to take action and kill them now!"
The knight captain looked embarrassed: "But the captain ordered that we cannot treat ordinary people..."
"Shut up!" Andre's face was ferocious. "These bastards take the initiative to attack nobles and disrupt the order of Mondstadt. They are not qualified people of Mondstadt at all! Now, I, Andre Castel, order you Draw your weapons and kill them all!"
Even if the mob has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, how can it be possible to win against a well-trained knights with an absolute disparity in weapons, equipment and martial arts?
The reason for the current situation is mainly because the attackers are all Mondstadt people, and the people of the Knights have never been able to make up their minds.
However, under Andre's strong request, they still drew their weapons in the face of the overwhelming public groups.
Hiss~
But the sharp blade cut across the body of a citizen, and a large amount of blood spattered out, and the blood splashed on the ground, setting off an even more intense madness.
Most of these Mondstadt people come from the slums and are deeply threatened by the dragon plague and oppressed by the nobles.
If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence.
This is what the original leader of Earth Fire said!
"Fight them!"
Among the people, a group of people belonging to the Earth Fire rushed to the front and started an endless and brutal fight with the Knights.
Blood splattered and blood flowed into a river!
The entire street was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the sounds of fighting and angry shouts could be heard from a distance. Cold weapons were intertwined, and the blades pierced the flesh, and every life fell.
The people of Mondstadt in the distance stood at the entrance, looking uneasy.
Until Qin came here with the men from the Knights Headquarters, when he saw the corpses lying on the ground, his whole mind was interrupted.
"Stop! Stop it all!"
Qin rushed into the battlefield, but both sides were already crazy and had no time to care about her existence.
Seeing this, Su Chen waved his hand and said, "You guys go up quickly, otherwise Captain Qin may be injured."
Members of the surrounding knights joined in one after another.
Soon, as the knights on Andre's side stopped, the rioting people were also controlled by the knights brought by Qin, and the originally turbulent scene was finally brought under control.
"Captain Qin, you're here just in time!" Andre strode over and said angrily: "Hurry up and order the execution of these despicable guys. They dare to openly attack a noble. I'm really tired of living!"
"Bah! What a bunch of bullshit nobles, a bunch of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death. You have nothing but despicability and greed in your bones. Just wait, the flames of the Lord Judge will burn you all to death sooner or later!"
A young man who was suppressed raised his head unwillingly.
"Then I'll send you to hell now!"
Andre grabbed a knight's sword and stabbed the young man.
Dang! ——
The sword was blocked by Qin.
Qin said with a cold face: "Andre, I will handle everything next personally. Please do not interfere with the Knights' handling of affairs."
"Hmph! That's fine. Killing them will only make my hands dirty."
Seeing that all the mobs were under control, Andre recovered from his panic and showed his usual arrogant attitude as a noble.
"But I hope you, Captain Qin, can handle this matter. They must be the remnants of the Earth Fire. Quickly eliminate this damn organization. Otherwise, I will apply for a noble meeting in the name of the Custer family. Gunnhild won’t have it easy either.”
Threat, naked threat.
Although Gunnhild's power is very strong, the noble group is very large. If their interests are shaken and they unite to put pressure on the Knights, then Gunnhild, where Qin is located, will inevitably be under great pressure.
...
Half an hour later, the Knights cleaned the entire street.
The onlookers in Mondstadt all had mixed emotions. Although they were not affected this time, various problems under the threat of dragon disaster have begun to be exposed. It is obvious that the Knights alone can no longer suppress it.
If the dragon disaster is not resolved, even Mondstadt will no longer be a safe place.
"Your Excellency Su Chen, the scene has been cleaned up and you can go back."
A knight walked up to Su Chen and said.
Qin left with the troubled people, leaving the rest to Su Chen to handle, and then reported the situation to her.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Su Chen nodded.
"Well..." the knight hesitated for a moment, "how to deal with these corpses?"
They will naturally take care of the bodies of the Knights members, but what about the rioting mob?
In any case, they are all Mondstadt people, and it would not be appropriate to just throw them into the wilderness.
"I just verified that most of these people are from slums."
"Inform their families to claim them. If there are none, they will be buried directly. Please ask the pastor of the church to come over before burying them." Su Chen said.
When someone dies in Mondstadt, there will be a series of procedures before burial.
It's just that now that the dragon disaster is serious and the order is chaotic, it's better to keep it simple.
The knight was ordered to leave.
Su Chen walked through the streets filled with the pungent smell of blood and walked inside.
Dongcheng District includes the slums, and most of the attackers this time came from there. Not long after Su Chen left, he encountered a few guys who looked like gangsters blocking the alley.
"Get out of here!"
One of the gangsters said fiercely, "You lackeys of the Mondstadt nobles, this is not the place you should be!"
Su Chen spread his hands: "I am just an ordinary person, neither a knight nor a noble."
"Stop pretending, I've seen it all, and those knights listen to you!"
"That's right, you lackeys of the nobles will all be killed by earth and fire sooner or later!"
The gangsters all stared at Su Chen fiercely.
"Well, you're right." Su Chen nodded. Seeing that there was no way to pass, when he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure behind the gangsters.
He looked about eleven or twelve years old, a little slovenly, with his hair tied up and his face covered with dust.
Su Chen walked towards the other party.
"Hey! Did you hear that, you bastard, I asked you to stay away from - ugh... uh~"
