Heart of Empire Chapter 253: Change

Although the battle between the paladin and the two assassins ended quickly, there was still some movement.

After Verina had dealt with her injuries and toxins, several teams of soldiers rushed up.

The place where the two assassins acted was actually facing the central training ground of the garrison barracks, and they could be said to have acted in full view. However, the battle ended too quickly. When the others had just realized that the head of the legion from home had been assassinated, and pulled out their weapons and yelled for support, Verina had already eliminated the two assassins by herself.

Looking at the concerned subordinates who swarmed forward, Verina stood still and said with a serious face: "Stand by! Everyone stand by!"

Everyone was puzzled, but during the three months of training, they had all been trained to a certain degree of discipline. They did not move forward after hearing the order from the army commander.

Verina knew that these guys in front of her were all concerned about herself. However, just after being assassinated, the assassin still pretended to be a guard, which made her feel deeply vigilant.

What if, among the people in front of you, there are also assassins mixed in, taking advantage of the chaos when everyone swarms up to care about themselves, and after the first wave of assassination fails, follow up with the second round of assassination, then Not impossible.

Although there is no evidence, paladins dare not be careless about such a life-threatening matter.

……

After Verina arrived at the scene in person, in just a few minutes, the soldiers of the entire garrison battalion had already assembled.

The heavily armed soldiers did not move in the guard camp for the time being, and Verina would not be so reckless. Although she got the information that Ma Long would have a "big move", after all, this big move has not yet been launched, and she doesn't want to make some impulsive actions first, and be caught by others and beat her up.

It is more reliable to be vigilant first, make complete preparations, and then see what kind of medicine the other party is selling.

Without keeping Verina waiting for a long time, she got the news that there was a change in the direction of the port.

Shawan Port can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the inner city and the other is the port area. There was no such statement before, but a few years ago, after Morno began to participate in the competition for Shawan Port and grabbed almost half of the city, this statement gradually came into being. The half of Shawan Port controlled by Morno in the past and now Dane is relatively inland, which is the so-called inner city. The area controlled by Ma Long's forces is about a part of the urban area centered on the port, which is also called the port area.

Of course, although the distribution is roughly like this, in a word, Shawan Port is an entire city. When competing for this city, there is no shortage of infiltration between the two sides. Even if there is a general sphere of influence, the actual situation is that there is me in you, and you in me. Verina often sent people to the port area, and at the same time, Ma Long also arranged a lot of secrets in the inner city.

As for the so-called changes in the port area, it is naturally that Malone has moved.

The specific news came later. Several strongholds that Velina arranged in the port area were just seized by the port guards. The men of the harbor guards had moved their knives, and more than thirty people had been killed.

At the same time, all the port guards have just been dispatched and are already heading towards the inner city. They will be able to enter the inner city in at most 20 minutes.

As soon as the news came, the crowd immediately became angry.

Over the past few months, the garrison battalion has been at odds with their port guards. Even the newcomers to the security battalion have already been influenced by their ears and eyes, and after several small conflicts, they have already regarded the other party as an important enemy.

There are usually a lot of fights, and occasionally there will be fatalities, but conflicts in the city are usually resolved with fists, stones and sticks picked up everywhere on the ground, and basically do not use knives, even daggers are very few. After all, it is in the city, and both sides still have to maintain a certain degree of restraint, and they must not mess up the city too much.

Now, I suddenly heard that they used knives to kill more than 30 people on their side, and rushed towards the inner city collectively. How can this be tolerated?

"Legion Commander! Let's fight them!"

"They dare to kill our people!"

"They have knives and guns, don't we have axes and war hammers?!"

"Fuck those idiots to death!"

……

Undoubtedly, almost everyone was very excited, wishing to have a life and death with those people of the harbor guard immediately.

But Verina, as the commander, can't simply think like this.

The enemy's movements are a bit too unusual. The port guard of six or seven hundred people, against her guard battalion with more than a thousand people, not to mention almost no chance of winning, at least the chance of winning is very small. Beards, who was sent by Malone to Shawan Harbor to be in charge of the port area, was a very cautious person. Velina had dealt with the other party a lot in the past few months, and she knew that that person would not be able to make a move. This kind of hysterical action ~IndoMTL.com~ If the two sides really fight together like this, of course one's own side will have the advantage. It stands to reason that in such a situation, going up to fight with the port guards will not suffer much.

But because of the information that Malone will have a "big move", Verina will only do this if her brain is kicked by a donkey.

Now that the other party has already made a move, Verina doesn't intend to be polite. She would not lead people to fight recklessly with those guys from the port guard in the city, she decided to take a safer way.

"All listen to the order, leave the camp fully armed, and follow me to the north gate of Shawan Harbor!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and Palan couldn't help but asked beside him: "The **** of the port guard are about to rush into the inner city, so leave them alone?"

Verina glanced at him and said, "What if he enters the inner city, massacre the city?"

Palan rubbed his head. The enemy's target must be them. As for massacring the city, it is absolutely impossible.

Although Dane and Malone are in charge of Shahaiwan Port, it is not without other forces. This is a commercial city in essence. Some big merchants or chambers of commerce that send a lot of taxes and donations to the two warlords every month are the objects that neither Dane nor Malone want to mess with.

If people are dissatisfied with one party and invest in another party, it will bring huge financial losses. At the same time, the party opposed by the merchants will also greatly reduce their control over the city. (To be continued.)
