Chapter 460 - The Capital’s Disaster 5 (1/2)

Flames which were soaring in the north street created a secondary problem.

The people inside the capital, upon hearing the sudden shelling and seeing the fire ablaze began to run out.

“What just happened?”

“That is the place where the patients were isolated…”

To stop the disease from spreading, they knew that the patients were sent to another location, it was a publicly released statement.

People who figured out what was going on and those who just wanted to save the patients screamed at the Central Army which was surrounding the north street.

“What are you doing? Put out the fire already!”

“My wife is in there! Open the gates, you damned bastards!”

People whose families were in the fire threw stones or rotten fruits at the central troops who were standing on the side of the barricades and walls.

Most of the soldiers and officers were silently letting the people take out their anger, however, not everyone thought like that.

“These men!”

A commander from the Central Army who got hit by an egg yelled at the people.

“We are following the Emperor’s words! Get out of here! Or we will have to persecute you according to the law!”

Despite the warning, those who were already in anxiety with their families stuck in the fire didn’t retreat.

“Law my ass! Law is meant to protect people, what are you doing here?!”

“You caught the nobles and killed them, and now you are burning people to death!”

“If you are going to kill, just kill us already!”

The stones being thrown only increase.

It turned so worse that the Gigants of the Knights of Guard had to block the path, yet people showed no signs of yielding.

Well, it only made the people rebel more fiercely.

“Everyone, you shouldn’t be like this! Open those gates!”

“I will take the lead! Those who want to save your family follow me!”

Woah!

The furious people rushed towards the city gates.

Thousands of people ran at once, the Knights of Guards and Gigants were so flustered that they didn’t dare to do anything.

“No, no, you shouldn’t do this!”

“Go back! Dammit! You think we are doing this because we like it?”

The soldiers waiting at the gates tried to calm the people.

However, could it be possible to reason with families who were seeing their loved ones burned on the other side of the city?

The commander who lost his reasoning, ordered for an attack if the gates got breached.

“Those who oppose Your Majesty’s orders will be considered as rebels! Kill the mob!”

Soon the capital’s residents turned into rebels in a matter of seconds.

Pung!

The people who were flocking to the north gates were wiped out.

“Uahh! My, my legs!”

“You bastards! How can you do this?!”

The suppression didn’t just take place on the people who were near the gates, but on the roads where the people were standing close to barricades.

However, this only made the people explode in rage, but they could barely fight back the army which had weapons in their hands.

And like that, the night blaze created rebels.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Late night, Count Ferrero, who was spending his night in the military office got up with the ringing of the loud bell.

‘What? No…?!’

He immediately picked up his sword and went out, the lieutenant ran towards him and reported.
