Chapter 993: A city divided
Erik slipped into an alley, hiding to catch his breath, and watched the action go on all around him. A smirk appeared on his face.
Armed with their brain-crystal powers, citizen groups were wreaking havoc.
The real rebellion finally started. However, if it was going to be successful, it had to be seen.
Even if the citizens fought, they were still fighting the blackguards.
Most of them had been trained, since it was mandatory to enter the military, but basically everyone who were not among Volkov's troops now had been injured in the past or were old. That was coupled with the fact that the blackguards were many times more powerful than them, but they were even trained better, and a lot more at that.
However, there were many more people than there were blackguards. Even Volkov's soldiers couldn't do much, despite being in much greater numbers than the blackguards.
That was something already, but Volkov's soldiers-not everyone, of course-didn't know what to do at that point. Most of them were normal people, and many came from New Alexandria.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
The situation got out of hand, with the chain in command in chaos, but still there, well, aside from Volkov.
They were basically fighting the people they swore to protect. Not that everyone did. A lot of the fighters were simply criminals the Crystal Cross Gang gave them.
Erik saw a gang of locals being overpowered by a small squad of blackguards. There was a terrible crunch as a blackguard swung a big mace into an old woman's head.
However, a younger man, just out of his teens, aided by at least 10 more, killed the blackguard.
The people's uprising had put the blackguards on the defensive. That was especially because the more soldiers and blackguards died, and the more citizens got their hands on their brain- crystal rifles or the fancy and valuable weapons they carried.
Slowly, things turned serious.
Erik, though, was unable to enjoy the occasion. He needed to reach June while keeping the blackguards away from Richard.
Erik faced them, ducking under the two attacks. He then electrocuted the first of the two blackguards, who convulsed and fell to the ground, twitching.
Then he focused on the second one. The man's thoughts were a mess of fear and shock as Erik's killed his comrade.
One of Erik's electricity bolts hit the blackguard square in the chest, electrocuting and charring him to the bones.
The stench of burnt flesh spread through the area.
Erik glanced down at the two smoldering figures and grinned.
"Well, that was shockingly easy," he said, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Are you really sure you want to do this?" He asked to the remaining opponents.
"You, mother fuckeeeer!"
A fourth blackguard tried to flank Erik, but a single person didn't even pose a problem at that
point.
The young man ran past the blackguard and kicked his chest. A bone-crushing impact sent the soldier flying backward, skidding across the ground.
The last two blackguards struggled, losing confidence. Erik cut short their fight. Lightning bolts from his hands struck the remaining blackguards at once.
"This power is so fucking strong... No wonder Volkov was so confident in his strength. I don't even know how the fuck Becker could be considered his rival."
Erik checked the area for immediate threats, but aside from the dead bodies, there was no one around. Well, aside from the citizens fighting the blackguards and Volkov's soldiers on the other side of the street.
"Better move my ass... I can't stay here any longer."
With that, Erik resumed his march toward the northern gate, or better, toward the northern district, because it was really clear now that even if the blackguards held the northern gate, that would stay like that for long because of the citizens.
