Chapter 550 Let me see which of you dares to come!
The mercenaries' defeat was inevitable. The battlefield was littered with their corpses. The setting sun was as red as blood, dyeing the earth a tragic red.
The remaining mercenaries were either captured alive by the ferocious Helmingen Knights or ruthlessly killed in their desperate resistance.
The entire battle was like a sudden storm. From outbreak to end, the combat time did not exceed an hour, which was so fast that people were caught off guard.
Then, Adson, the leader of the Knights of Helmingen, rode a tall black warhorse and came at lightning speed with a group of centurions.
After giving the order to continue cleaning, he rushed in the direction of the Chamber of Commerce President.
"Hey, you guys are finally here."
The president stepped forward, a look of anxiety and anticipation on his face.
Addison dismounted, walked quickly to the president, shook his hand tightly, and asked with concern:
"How are the citizens? Have they been settled?"
The president frowned slightly, sighed and said:
“Most of them have been resettled, but a small number have relatives in nearby villages and have not yet arrived here.”
As he spoke, the president took out a booklet from his pocket, which was densely filled with names and addresses.
"Everyone who arrived has been ticked off. The remaining ones who didn't come have their reported addresses. Please make sure to find them."
Addison took the booklet, looked at it carefully, nodded, handed it to a captain, and said seriously:
"The mission of rescuing people is now assigned to your Thousand-Man Squad. Copy down the information and addresses of those who need help and distribute them to each squad leader. Then lead the soldiers to search according to the addresses. The other thousand-man leaders will escort the citizens back home!"
"Yes!"
The thousand-man captain responded and immediately called a meeting of all the centurions and squad leaders under his command of the thousand-man team. After everyone finished copying, they immediately set out to various addresses in groups of ten.
The carriage drove on the dirt road, raising a cloud of dust.
What the soldiers saw along the way was a miserable scene. There was only bare land everywhere, as if the life had been drained away by the war.
There were groups of refugees, dressed in rags, with pale faces and thin bodies, and their eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
A group of corpses surrounded by crows, emitting a disgusting stench.
Some of the bodies were burned to charcoal, making it impossible to identify whether they were men, women, young or old.
"Here! This way!"
A soldier driving a carriage suddenly saw the black, white and red flag waving in front of him, and heard faint cries for help.
"Sergeant, there's someone over there holding a national flag and asking for help."
The soldier spoke to the sergeant in the carriage.
"Go over and have a look."
The sergeant gave the order decisively. After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately drove the carriage there. The refugees on the way avoided the carriage when they saw it.
When the carriage arrived, the sergeant got off and saw a couple with a child.
When the husband saw the captain, he immediately stepped forward and asked for help:
"Hello, my wife, child, and I are all citizens of Helderland. I am an employee of the Helderland Chamber of Commerce's Mond Town branch. These are the three of us with our identification documents."
The squad leader took the identification documents and carefully compared them one by one. After confirming that the identity was the citizen his ten-man team was going to rescue, he immediately said:
"Okay, then hurry up and get on the carriage. We'll take you to the border right away."
"Ok."
The man was ecstatic when he heard this, with tears of excitement in his eyes.
He first carefully placed his wife and children on the carriage, and then, under the care of the soldiers, he got on the carriage carrying large and small bags.
"What is this thing? It's so heavy."
A soldier asked curiously after helping to put the package on the carriage.
"In addition to some food and daily necessities, there is also a portion of my salary, about one or two hundred silver coins. I have been saving it for two years, thinking of transferring back to China to buy a house."
Suddenly, the crowd in the distance became noisy, and then began to rush in one direction.
"What happened?"
The sergeant quickly asked the soldier driving the carriage.
"I can't see clearly, there are people running."
The soldier also looked confused.
"Never mind, drive the carriage away from here!"
The sergeant spoke decisively, and the soldiers immediately pulled the reins, and the carriage moved along the flow of people, but there were too many people in front, and it could not move at all. If the carriage crashed into the crowd, it was likely that the carriage would be destroyed and people would die.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The soldiers in the carriage immediately shouted outside, but the refugees outside just kept running and didn't listen to what they said at all, as if they were driven by an invisible fear.
"Sergeant, there are cavalrymen slaughtering refugees behind us!"
Just then, a soldier suddenly shouted.
When the sergeant came to the back of the carriage, he saw a group of cavalrymen driving the refugees like sheep. If a refugee was slow, he would be whipped at best, or even chopped to the ground by swords at worst. The sergeant could not see clearly whether those who fell to the ground were dead or alive. He could only hear the screams and cries of the refugees one after another.
Soon the cavalrymen noticed the slowly moving carriage not far away and immediately surrounded it.
The captain said to the couple:
"You guys hide behind first, while the others load their flintlocks!"
The cavalrymen quickly surrounded the carriage. The sergeant saw that there were quite a few of them, probably about forty or fifty cavalrymen.
The leading cavalry leader, wearing purple-black armor, said to the people on the carriage:
"Now that you've seen me, why don't you come down quickly!"
The sergeant asked the sergeant next to him:
"You stay here, I'll go down and take a look."
Then the captain got off the carriage and said to the man:
"We are soldiers of the Helmingen Knights of the Holy Kingdom of Helderland. We are here to rescue the trapped citizens. Which unit do you belong to?"
"Ok?"
The cavalry leader was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Why are you Helderrans running to Helderran instead of staying in your own country? I am the centurion of the cavalry hundred-man unit under General Atton of the Yoda Empire. I have been ordered to clear out the refugees here and clear the way for General Atton's main force."
After the other party reported his identity, the captain said:
"Then according to the contract, you and I cannot attack each other. I hope you will give way immediately and we will leave the battlefield immediately."
"What you said makes sense."
The cavalry leader said, but he changed the subject and continued:
"Although I told you not to hurt anyone, I didn't tell you not to rob. So hurry up and open your carriage. I want to go in and search for anything valuable. I'll consider it my toll!"
"Impossible! For the safety of our citizens, I cannot accept your request!"
As the sergeant spoke, he was thinking about how to deal with the next situation.
"What? You're still asking for it! You don't even consider how many of us there are, how many of you there are? Someone, rush in and search!"
The cavalry leader was furious and gave orders loudly. Immediately, more than a dozen Yoda cavalrymen dismounted and walked towards the carriage with weapons in hand.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed out from inside, holding a lit match in one hand and a few black grenades in the other. He walked forward and roared:
"I wonder who of you dares to come!"
