The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 220 Classification of Prisoners

(3k7 big chapter)

While Abes was struggling with the giant's arm and Gaviling was beaten by old Winston until he vomited blood, the bad news was also about how the prisoners who were causing trouble were being dealt with.

Because at the beginning, the patrol team of the royal capital, together with its leader Philip, were concentrated in the central square to maintain order and pay attention to the upcoming war to reclaim and unify the Mage Tower, so there were insufficient manpower left in various parts of the city.

Coupled with the sudden rebellion of the prisoners and the presence of extraordinary people among them, the people of the royal capital did suffer a lot of hardships in the beginning.

The originally peaceful streets suddenly became chaotic and disorderly. A group of guys still wearing prison uniforms rushed into the edge of the capital like a storm. The area was basically undefended due to lack of manpower and patrols were now concentrated in the city center.

It is a normal choice for prisons to be located in marginal areas, just as military camps are arranged in this way, so as not to disturb people's normal lives.

But this sudden attack made this geographical location so infuriating.

Too late to react, too late to react!

"What happened?"

"Hurry and report to the several masters in the center of the royal capital!"

"What are the prison guards doing? Why haven't they sent out any information?"

The few patrol police and city guards scattered here who occasionally noticed were controlled by the prisoners who were as numerous as clouds.

The weapons most of them held were just sticks.

At first glance you can tell that it is a table leg, a wooden board that has been split in half or even split into multiple pieces, a part of an iron railing that has been bent or cut off, etc.

This is the so-called simple weapon.

The real standard weapons and armor are mainly concentrated in a few people.

This is natural. There are differences among the prisoners. After all, due to some wars and policies of Abes in the past, there are extraordinary people with the rank of wanderers, lizardmen, and some soldiers and officers in the cells.

It is much better to give the good things to these people than to those former nobles who are obviously incompetent.

If you observe carefully, you can know that these things were clearly stripped from the prison guards, and their number increased further as they controlled some lone patrol police and city guards.

The most critical core figures are naturally the wanderer brothers who once carried out a daring assassination attempt on Abes and Bingnagi in the Mud City.

Perhaps it was a habit of their rank. Even though they knew that their faces had been recorded during the interrogation, they still chose to cover their faces with black masks when they led the prisoners out of the prison and came to the royal capital to cause trouble.

Only his eyes were shining coldly, full of greed and cruelty.

If there is anything good to be found in the current riots, it is that they are chaotic, disorganized and aimless.

This is understandable, as even though they had “worked together” to leave prison, their respective goals and demands were completely different.

Several extraordinary wanderers, as assassins loyal to the Breland family, now have the top priority to figure out where this place is and then return to the Breland family's new territory in the west of the small kingdom.

As for this place, as well as Abes, Hiiragi and others, they still have lingering fears.

After all, no one expected that just returning to the Breland family's old territory in Mud City to get a certain "formula" and then killing all witnesses according to the owner's request would lead to so many things.

If they encountered someone they couldn't defeat, they would be killed and the family would treat their families well after they died gloriously. But unfortunately, only one of them died and the rest survived.

After surviving, they were imprisoned, and there was actually a way to block their abilities, which allowed them to be trapped in an ordinary cell where they could escape in minutes until now.

If the ability that was blocking them had not suddenly failed for some unknown reason, they would never have seen the light of day again.

After they realized that this was the royal capital and learned about the changes Abes Grande had brought to the northeastern region of the small kingdom, they also knew how to make up for their mistakes.

Bring the news here back and tell the head of the family... maybe we can gain some benefits for the Breland family in this chaotic era.

As for the Lizardmen, they naturally headed south and east, back to the Eastern Wilderness, back to the territory of the Lizardmen tribe.

Those former nobles who were imprisoned for non-cooperation or for their own unforgivable crimes naturally headed for their own territories when they were released, and they were probably thinking about making a comeback - perhaps some cowardly ones wanted to run away with the money.

Perhaps they still had the beautiful dream of taking advantage of the chaos to kill Abes Grande and welcome back the royal family of the small kingdom of Wommza to serve as the new king.

Some of them probably don't even know that the real little king had been killed by old Winston long before Abes entered the capital.

They also didn't know that during the time they were imprisoned, Abes did not ascend the throne, but helped the fake king, a good apprentice of old Winston, to secure the throne.

After all, Abes wants to be the king of kings and the king of pioneers.

This is the natural legal principle he possesses as an ancient hero who lived thousands of years ago and was the leader of a team of heroes who liberated almost all intelligent creatures on the continent.

Not to mention Abes, who naturally holds such noble legal principles, even in other places in the North, any leader or heir of a slightly larger territory may not necessarily look down on the so-called legal title of the small Kingdom of Wommza, which is located on the border of the North and is divided and split again and again, almost like a small principality.

Apart from the above types of prisoners, the soldiers and officers had the most complicated feelings, and they could be divided into several categories.

They are soldiers and officers of the royal capital. Their families and friends are in the royal capital, and they themselves also live in the royal capital.

This type of people were basically persuaded to surrender quickly within a few weeks, and those who are still being detained are mostly just unable to get over the hurdle in their hearts.

Now, after leaving the prison and witnessing the development and changes in the royal capital, they became even more troubled.

If I had known it would develop so well, I would have invested a long time ago!

Now that I have escaped from prison, can I go back? Will my sentence be increased?

However, the officers who originally served under General Paddy had a different way of thinking.

Military officers have received high salaries in the past, after all, they are military talents.

Those who are still imprisoned have more or less a sense of loyalty or morality in their hearts.

After escaping from the prison, they were also considering whether to escape from the royal capital and look for the "missing" General Paddy, or to find a way to occupy the royal capital and fulfill General Paddy's wish.

At the same time, they are also trying to build a new force to inherit General Paddy's "legacy".

Of course, during the whole process, since they were too far away from the center of the royal capital and had no Eagle Vision to see the sky, they naturally did not know that the General Paddy, whom they had been thinking about, had returned at this moment and was fighting with Abes.

And after the clouds and mist end, their General Paddy will be carried to the ground by the red dragon like a fat chicken.

As for your question about whether there were any prisoners among General Paddy’s soldiers?

No.

At the beginning, influenced by the spiritual suggestion of the Supreme Being, General Paddy led his officers to deal with Abes, and his entire army was captured.

The soldiers who stayed in Crow Castle, preparing to attack the capital and take control of the small kingdom one day in the future, suffered heavy casualties in the crazy battle royale selection bestowed by the One-eyed God.

Later, some of them were killed in the siege. The few hundred people who survived in the end were still mad enough to start fighting indiscriminately like mad dogs if they were not careful. After the siege, Abes ordered them to die quickly and painlessly.

It was precisely because the Supreme God and the One-eyed God destroyed Abes' strategic goal of attacking the Crow Castle that Abes failed to attract the elite soldiers and generals he had imagined, that Abes had no choice but to expand his troops in advance and select talents from the citizens.

The wanderers and extraordinary people of the Breland family, the lizardmen warriors who were captured in several battles but did not surrender, the former nobles in the capital who were unwilling to cooperate or who were extremely evil and could not be forgiven, and some soldiers and officers...

After excluding all the above types, the ones stuffed into the prison are the criminals who dared to commit serious crimes since Abes entered the capital.

It is this group of people who are truly unscrupulous.

After all, when the new urban area was thriving, if one still had some humanity and conscience, one would know that one could survive and that life was getting better, and there was no need to commit crimes.

For some minor crimes, Abesi had already said that labor could be used to atone for the crime.

If they were just starving and fighting to survive, this should not be a sin. Rather, it was the mistake of this new ruler who led the people down the wrong path in order to survive.

At this time, the only way for those who still dare to commit serious crimes is to detain and severely punish them.

In short, among all the prisoners who escaped from prison, they accounted for the lowest proportion and were not necessarily qualified to wear armor or hold standard weapons, but their destructive power might be the strongest.

Because the rest of the people still have their own goals and ambitions to some extent, but only this group of people are thinking about pure violence and chaos.

In such chaos, some things were bound to happen, and the first things they attacked were the shops in the royal capital.

The glass windows shattered under the heavy sticks, and the fragments fell to the ground like raindrops, making a crisp sound.

Then, they rushed into the store like looters and stole the priceless goods. Whether it was gold ornaments or jewelry, everything that could be converted into wealth became their target.

Carriages and pedestrians on the street were not spared and were beaten and hit with sticks.

The car windows were shattered, the body of the car was damaged, and the horse fell to the ground with cuts.

Some citizens rose up in rebellion, but it was futile due to their violent tactics and the power of their numbers.

All my efforts seemed so powerless in the face of their ridicule.

They didn't know how they intercepted a freight carriage transporting kerosene to the military factory, and after seeing these things, they became even more excited.

They poured kerosene on the streets, in the shops they entered, and on the citizens who fell to the ground and were either unconscious or dead. And then - they ignited the fire.

Screaming, laughing, crying.

There are also some fanatical, incomprehensible slogans.

The raging fire illuminated the entire block, and the firelight reflected in the eyes of the escaped prisoners, making them appear even wilder and more ruthless.

And if there is any good news, it is that Abes originally thought that he would soon launch a war to retake the floating island in the sky, so he evacuated the population in advance and let them return home as much as possible without any harm.

Therefore, most of the residents did not stay outside, but were just standing at the doorsteps, windows, or on the streets not far from their homes, looking at the center of the capital and things in the sky.

When they noticed the looting, smashing and burning, and saw the prisoners coming in with such force, most people quickly returned home.

Now, they can only peek at what's happening outside through the windows or cracks in the doors.

Fear enveloped the more marginal areas of the capital. Parents hugged their children tightly, the hands of the elderly were shaking, and the eyes of the young were full of anger but powerless.

However, despite their panic, none of them fell into complete despair, because they knew that this was not the time when the city would be destroyed and the families would be ruined. All the lords and soldiers were still in the royal capital, and they would come to the rescue soon.

only……

As the fire spread rapidly, people began to doubt whether it was pain or redemption that would reach them first.
