"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1216
Ketu City in the Lion River Basin was attacked by the Qinghe Army Commanded by Fatty Lu, and the whole city was burned down.
When Cardinal Reed heard the news and rushed to Ketu City, what he saw was a ruined building that was burning and smoking.
The bustling city was reduced to ashes in the flames, and thousands of residents gathered outside the city. They were driven out in the middle of the night, and they didn't even bring out any belongings because of their disheveled clothes.
At this moment, they looked at the city in a state of embarrassment, and the sound of sobbing was one after another, and the air was filled with a low and sad atmosphere.
Their homes were destroyed by a sudden attack, and these residents have not yet recovered from the huge blow.
"asshole!"
Seeing this miserable and tragic scene, even the always calm Archbishop Reed in red also had veins in his arms, and he cursed angrily with his face livid.
Because what the enemy who attacked Ketu City did was too extreme, they just looted and set fire to the city!
You must know that Ketu City has been established for more than two hundred years, and countless money and manpower were spent on its construction. It has always been one of the bustling cities and traffic arteries in the Shizi River Basin.
But now it was completely burned overnight, how can we not make Cardinal Reed angry!
"Give me a thorough investigation!"
"I must crush those enemies who attacked Ketu City to ashes to vent my anger!"
Archbishop Reed in red was roaring angrily, and he ordered a thorough investigation of the enemies who attacked Ketu City.
The Skitarii who rushed to Ketu City also acted quickly. They used various methods to search for information about the enemy who attacked Ketu City.
In just over an hour, the officers of the Skitarii found some useful information and reported it to the still angry Cardinal Reed.
"The enemy who attacked Ketu City launched a surprise attack at night. They were all cavalry, and they should not be bandits. According to the description of the survivors of the patrol battalion, their number was too large to count, and they wore white battle robes. ?¡¡±
"White shirt?"
Hearing the report from the Skitarii officer, Red Archbishop Reed raised his eyebrows immediately, grasping the key information.
"Could it be the cavalry of the Hanhai Dynasty?"
"My lord bishop, it's hard to be sure at this time, but what is certain is that they are indeed wearing the costumes of the vast sea cavalry." The officer of the cataract said.
"The Hanhai Dynasty only withdrew their fire phoenix officers and undead legion from the border area some time ago, is it to confuse us?!"
After thinking of this, Cardinal Reed suddenly felt that his guess was very likely.
Their Holy See is now using troops against the Far Eastern Empire, and if they fail to keep the Hanhai Dynasty, they will stab them in the back!
"Damn Hanhai people!"
Archbishop Reed felt that since Hanhai's cavalry had attacked Ketu City, they would not retreat easily, and the surrounding cities would also be in danger.
"Immediately warn the surrounding cities! Ask them to increase their vigilance. There are a large number of enemies operating in the Shizi River Basin, and Ketu City has been burned!"
After Cardinal Reed realized the seriousness of the problem, he immediately issued an order.
After a messenger of the Skitarii responded, he hurriedly got on his horse and went to deliver the order.
"My lord bishop, according to the descriptions of the survivors, the bishop of Ketu City, the lord of the city, and the general responsible for escorting money and food to the Far East front were all killed in the attack last night"
The Skitarii officer continued to report after glancing at the ugly-looking Cardinal Reed.
Reed said angrily: "God will punish their murderers, let them die in peace."
"Calculate the list of casualties, and then send them to the Holy Land quickly."
Thinking of the heavy loss of Ketu City, Cardinal Reed greeted all eighteen generations of the ancestors of the enemy who attacked him.
"My lord, what about the residents who have lost their homes?"
Seeing the residents who looked miserable, the officer of the Skitarii asked for instructions.
"Collect them, set up temporary camps for them, and distribute food and clothes."
These are all residents of their Holy See, and it is impossible for them to sit idly by, otherwise, it will definitely arouse their strong angerDissatisfaction shakes their faith in the gods and threatens their rule.
Of course, to settle the tens of thousands of residents, the Holy See will need to spend a lot of money, but there is no other way.
However, Cardinal Reid would not have thought that this was just the beginning, and the headaches for him were yet to come.
When Archbishop Reed in red personally commanded the pursuit of the enemy in Ketu City and appeased the residents, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army led by Fatty Lu had already left Ketu City.
After burning and killing Ketu City, Fatty Lu and the others won the battle and captured a lot of money.
Except for more than 30 cavalry brothers who were killed in the battle, the rest of the cavalry were rarely injured.
After they left Ketu City, they quickly hid themselves, cremated the bodies of their fallen brothers, and rested. At the same time, they sent scouts to observe the reaction of the Holy See after the attack on Ketu City.
Soon there was news of feedback, that is, after Ketu City was attacked, a large number of church guards also rushed to Ketu City, and the surrounding cities were all under martial law.
Seeing such a strong reaction from the Holy See, Fatty Lu seemed to have received attention, and he was in a particularly good mood.
"My lord, where is our next goal?"
The battle last night was so easy that Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner of the Cavalry, hadn't enjoyed killing it, so he couldn't wait to start the next attack.
"Let's go to Las City!"
Looking at the excited Peng Dashun, Fatty Lu pointed out a location on the map with his fingers.
"Master Legion, with so many cities around, why should we go far and wide to attack Las City?" Peng Dashun was puzzled.
After all, Las City is almost out of the Lion River Basin, and it is hundreds of miles away from their current place.
"You know what a fart, this is called a jump attack." Fatty Lu gave Peng Dashun a supercilious look.
"We just fought Ketu City, and a large number of Skitarii have already rushed over, and the surrounding cities have been warned. If we fight again, we may not be able to lose money, but we will be trapped."
"If we cross the surrounding cities and go directly to the city of Las, it will greatly exceed their expectations!"
"The leader of the army is still wise." Peng Dashun laughed.
Fatty Lu kicked Peng Dashun: "Get lost, stop flattering me."
"Convey the order. After dark, we will march in a hurry, so that the brothers will give me enough food and drink. If anyone falls behind halfway, he will wipe his own neck." Fatty Lu said seriously.
