My British Empire

Chapter 80: Undercurrents Surge (6)

??Chapter 80 Undercurrent Surge (6)

?? "Boom! Boom!" Even in the living room, Duke Edward could feel the shocking impact.

?? "My lord! Why don't we go out?" The butler standing aside was a little confused, why his master stayed at home and didn't evacuate this dangerous mansion.

?? "My steward! Don't worry, those MPs in London won't sit idly by!"

"Besides, it's even more dangerous to go out! At least there are dozens of guards and high walls here to stop one or two!" Duke Edward sat on the chair calmly, answering his housekeeper's question very calmly, not forgetting Drinking the tea in hand.

?? "By the way! Send some people to check the fence to prevent them from climbing the wall!"

?? "Yes! I will arrange it!" Hearing the indifferent expression on his master's face, the housekeeper could only follow his orders!

??The steward turned and left to complete the task assigned by the duke!

??In front of the door, a group of Soros stood there, staring at the thick door, speechless!

??Behind the door, the stone carvings used as decorations and disordered wood were all blocked behind the door. The impact of the wooden pillars made them retreat tremblingly.

?? And five or six strong bodyguards pressed their hands hard to stop the blockage that kept retreating.

At this time, the Earl of Warwick's Mansion, our Lord Earl has always maintained a good habit of sending people to monitor the Duke's Mansion because of the distance, so the watchers saw more than a thousand people in a mighty manner, and hurried back report.

?? After getting the warning, he hurriedly packed up and fled to the Palace of Westminster, which is the Parliament Building, with some valuables.

??As for the maids and servants, they also dispersed without a trace.

??So, when Soros's trusted deputy, Field, known as the beloved left-hander, came here with a legion of nearly 500 people, what he saw was the earl's mansion with its doors closed.

??With the pirates under his command, Field directly hit the gate of the Earl's Mansion with human flesh. To Field's surprise, the gate was opened by him in less than a minute.

??The prudent Field first sent two little Luoluos into the Earl's Mansion to investigate for a while, and within five minutes, after receiving a signal of safety, he led the crowd into the Earl's Mansion of Warwick.

??Passing through the gate, what imprinted into Field's eyes was a statue of King Arthur's prancing horse. Of course, as a member of the English people, of course he has heard this story that almost grew up with the English people.

?? Then he crossed the flower bed and came to the hall. The floor was covered with floor tiles of various patterns, and there were tower-shaped candlesticks with white candles hanging on the wall. This was the first time he had seen so many white candles.

?? Stopped the subordinates who wanted to take off these candles, and he led hundreds of people to the room area.

?? "You search separately, and you need to be fast!" Looking at the Earl's Mansion, where no one was blocking him, Field knew that the target had already escaped this time, but he still wanted to look for it, and maybe he might find something.

??Field was bored looking at the exquisite pictures of angels and the Virgin and Child on the top of the hall. Those who believed in Catholicism couldn't help but stare dumbfounded. For the first time, he had an intuitive impression of the Virgin and Son in his heart.

?? This could not help but strengthen his belief, and this is why he did not dissuade his boss Soros from accepting this mission.

??Beside the Palace of Westminster, there is a London City Hall built of white marble, but it is brightly lit at this time.

??Many members of the self-governing committee walked around in a hurry, not making loud noises. Anyone who understands knows that this is shirking responsibility.

?? "Okay! Gentlemen! Now is not the time to discuss responsibility. We should send militiamen to rescue the Duke now! Otherwise, will any of you bear the consequences?"

??The nominal mayor of London, the great businessman Sparr, sternly urged the representatives of the citizens who were arguing in front of his eyes.

??Hearing that the mayor, who has always been known for his kindness, lost his temper, everyone was speechless for a while.

?? "Okay! Since everyone has no objections, we will immediately send troops into the noble area!"

??The pot-bellied Mayor of Spal was once in a hurry to dispatch the militia.

??In fact, everyone present did not have any opinions at all, and obediently passed Spal's decision.

?? After all, if those noble gentlemen made a mistake, they would be tied to a cross and hanged.

??After more than ten minutes of impact, the gate of Duke Edward's mansion was already in tatters, revealing the statues and wood behind the door.

??Finally, there was a loud "boom!", and a big hole was broken in the gate, and Soros, who was watching the battle, also smiled.

??He waved his hand, and the little Luola behind all rushed up, got into the doorway, and filed into the Duke's mansion.

??The pirates were greeted by the guards of the Duke's Palace in armor.

??Different from the pirates who held short swords and sticks, these knight-trained guards held spears and lined up. The shining muzzles stopped the joyful pirates.

?? "Brothers, go for me! Kill a guard to reward a pound, and capture the Duke of Somerset alive to get a hundred pounds!"

?? Soros, who was standing behind, watched his team stagnate, and quickly issued incentives, which made the troops move forward quickly after they had just stopped.

??However, the performance of short weapons at a disadvantage is undoubtedly exposed at this time.

??Just as the pirates swung their daggers forward, the guards' spears reached their throats and bodies. In a few seconds, more than a dozen people lost their lives.

?? After being stunned for a while, the pirates accepted this reality, but they bumped into the muzzle of the long gun again under the envy of the reward and the pushing of the brothers behind.

??In less than a minute, nearly 20 people were killed and seven or eight wounded were sent away.

??However, the pirates finally reached in front of the guards and took advantage of their melee combat.

?? Seeing this, the guards threw down their spears, drew out their daggers, and started fighting with the pirates.

?? At this time, the advantage of the number of pirates was brought into full play, wave after wave of pirates rushed up, and the guards wanted to prevent the pirates from sneaking into the Duke's mansion, so they were exhausted.

??In less than ten minutes, more than 30 guards had killed more than a dozen people, and several others were injured.

?? "Brothers, retreat quickly!" When the guards couldn't hold on anymore, they suddenly heard the leader's evacuation, and their pressure was relieved a lot.

?? "Brothers! The London militiamen are here! It's time for us to fight back!" The tall guard with sharp eyes saw the London militiamen in red clothes in the distance.

?? But Soros was very annoyed at this time. He didn't expect the Duke's mansion to be so difficult to handle, and the guards were so difficult to deal with, so that it was delayed until the arrival of rescuers, so he hurriedly called the pirates to retreat.

?? Under the attack of the militiamen and guards, the pirates' ranks became even more chaotic.

?? Just when Soros felt the danger, he suddenly saw Field and his party who had found nothing.

?? The meeting lasted for two hours today, and I didn’t have time to thank everyone. I just came back and it’s the last day. I’m asking for a recommendation ticket!
