Chapter 340 Chaos

The granary in the east of Astapor City was crowded with countless torches.

The dim yellow flames swayed in the night wind, illuminating people's faces flickering.

The air was filled with restless emotions and voices. People shouted loudly and pushed each other, as if they would rush to grab food by force in the next second.

But in the face of a group of Unsullied who were fully armed and as cold as ice sculptures, people did not dare to really rush up after all.

The situation froze here.

"Someone must take the lead!" Urkhov said, while looking at Cleon with encouraging eyes.

Of course Cleon understood what she meant, she wanted him to take the lead in rushing up to grab food.

"Don't wait any longer...wait for more people."

Mrs. Urho was obviously not satisfied with this answer, she stared into the man's eyes coldly:

"Do you want to be a butcher all your life? Or do you want to be a good lord?"

"I..." Kleon gritted his teeth and finally nodded, "Okay! I'll go right away!"

After speaking, he pulled the woman over, gave her a rough kiss, and strode into the crowd.

The further he went, the more Cleon could see the Unsullied guarding the granary.

These cold killing machines, even in the face of the boiling crowd, their eyes did not fluctuate.

He had no doubt that if he took the lead in charging forward, he would definitely encounter the cold spear of the Unsullied.

Just as Cleon was thinking about how to avoid becoming a victim, he saw the Unsullied guarding the granary start to line up.

Then, they abandoned the warehouse door and began to evacuate!

The Unsullied have withdrawn!

Kleon grinned and pushed forward with more excitement.

Now there is no danger of taking the lead in attacking the granary.

Of course, this also means that he doesn't need to take the lead.

Sure enough, the crowd immediately looked like restless monsters, stretching their bloated bodies and rushing towards the granary.

Before Cleon was happy, he realized that something was wrong.

The departure of the Unsullied also means that order has disappeared in this area. Facing the temptation of food and the suggestion of herd mentality, the already restless crowd gradually fell into madness.

People scrambled and pushed, flocking to the barn door, for fear that if they were too late, the food inside would be snatched up by others.

And the first few people who came out carrying food, don't even think about leaving safely, they will be surrounded and robbed when they go out. Immediately, a mess broke out in front of the gate of the granary.

Countless people fell down, and more people squeezed in. But it is easy to squeeze in, but it is as difficult as going to heaven to leave safely with food.

The hysterical emotions completely overwhelmed people's rationality, and even later, people had forgotten their original intentions, their eyes were red, and they fought without thinking.

Precious food is scattered on the ground, trampled on, and stained red with blood, but no one can take care of it.

Such chaos spread quickly, and gradually spread to the entire Astapor.

Some villains just took this opportunity to wander around the city, burning, killing, looting, and venting their evil and desires.

By this time, the situation in Astapor was completely out of control.

Except for the south gate guarded by the Unsullied, the other three gates were opened, and people began to flee.

The Cat Group and the Long Spear Group, who had just returned to the camp, did not hesitate to attack Astapor again after learning of the civil strife in the city.

At this time, Mrs. Urho and Kleon, who instigated the riot, felt a little panicked.

Because this chaos has exceeded their expectations, people are running around in the streets along the way, and at a glance, there are killings and flames everywhere.

Various roars and cries came and went.

"Where are the Unsullied?" Mrs. Urho was protected by a dozen servants, but she still couldn't hide the tension in her tone.

"I didn't see it..." Kleon was also sweating profusely. With his ability, he didn't know how to quell this disaster.

They thought that the Unsullied would come out to maintain order and clash with the people, which would keep the civil strife at a less intense level to a certain extent, but it could also restrain the power of the Unsullied and give the mercenary group outside the city Opportunity to kill.

But who knows, the Unsullied directly disappeared.

So, who will quell this riot?

Mercenary group?

Where is the Unsullied? what are you doing?

Mrs. Urho suddenly realized that the development of the matter was beyond her control.

The one who found out that something was wrong was Gillo Reha, the head of the Pike Corps.

After the city gate was opened, he led his cavalry to rush into the city first.

I thought I would see the fight between the Unsullied and the rioters, but who knows, I only saw the rioters, the crazy rioters.

And some people were crazy enough to attack the Long Spears.

After the initial shock, Captain Gilo decisively issued an order to suppress the riot.

After all, the contract signed by the Long Spears requires them to help the old nobles control Astapor. Naturally, these rioters cannot destroy the city and ruin the reputation of the Long Spears.

Thus, groups of cavalry began to gallop along the street, piercing out with sharp spears, mercilessly slaughtering these crazy rioters.

The cat group also rushed into the city under the leadership of the group leader Xuebeard, and was a little dumbfounded to see this chaos.

However, since you've entered, you can't quit.

Bloodbeard scolded the old nobles of Astapor, but he could only issue orders to quell the chaos.

But riots are easy to incite, but difficult to suppress.

It would be easy if the mercenary group had overwhelming strength, but the problem was that they didn't.

The combined number of the two mercenary regiments is no more than 2,000 people, and the quality of the mercenaries is uneven. Facing the tens of thousands of mobs who have fallen into madness, it is really difficult to parry.

The rioters suffered heavy casualties, but the mercenaries also suffered more and more casualties.

Soon, the battle in the city turned into a bad one.

The most chaotic, of course, is near the granary in the east of the city.

Mrs. Urho is extremely regretful now, not because she regrets instigating this riot, but because she regrets not leaving the most chaotic eye of the storm as soon as possible.

She still underestimated the severity of the riot after all.

Now some red-eyed rioters have taken a fancy to her carriage, thinking that the noble lord must have something good, so they began to attack her guards.

The guards drew their knives and slashed. Several rioters fell down screaming, but more rioters came up.

They surrounded Mrs. Urho's frame and attacked continuously.

At this moment, Kleon rushed over and shouted at the rioters:

"What are you untouchables doing! In the carriage is the wife of Lord Grazdan, Mrs. Urho! How dare you be rude to her!"

Madam Urho was slightly happy when she saw Cleon return, but after hearing his words, her expression changed drastically.

Fools!

Madam Urho wanted to strangle this stupid butcher immediately.

Sure enough, the rioters outside became even more excited when they heard that it was the widow of Lord Good Lord. One by one, with red eyes, they rushed towards the carriage like crazy.
