Chapter 17: Bank alone

"Stop them! Damn untouchables!"

boom!

"what-"

"Adro! They killed Adro!"

This is a bank located in the southern part of the city. A rout of the 28th Infantry Regiment ran into the mob besieging the bank after being separated from the main force. They forcibly dispersed the mob and heard the news before they could retreat. More armed citizens surrounded it and had to rely on buildings to resist.

The soldier who was shot in the body was dragged into the safe room. Second Lieutenant Pa Siller sat wearily on the marble floor. The gate of the first floor of the bank had been firmly blocked by the soldiers with various furniture. The people inside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out, they can only rely on the windows to shoot outside.

Fortunately, the building was not made of wood, otherwise the mob would surely burn all of them to death inside.

After several hours of siege, not only the soldiers who stood firm were exhausted, but the armed citizens outside also lost their vigor to continue the attack. They just surrounded the building in vain, relying on the cover of the roadblocks on the street to shoot inside.

They dare not break out of the siege, and the manager of the bank with aristocratic status will not let them leave. The bank's underground warehouse stores a lot of gold and silver jewelry, which are stored here by the nobles. If they fall into the outside gang In the hands of the mob, no one can bear the consequences.

"Sir, our ammunition is exhausted."

A soldier dragged his tired body over and reported to Xilehui that although his young face was smeared by gunpowder smoke, he could still see how handsome he was.

Schiller didn't know him, or rather, he didn't know many of the soldiers trapped in the bank, because this rout was pieced together from several dismantled companies.

"Tell them not to shoot, and check the remaining ammunition reserves." Sileqiang cheered up and instructed the soldiers - as the person with the highest rank in this building, he must set an example for the soldiers.

"As ordered, sir." The soldier turned and left. Shortly after he left, the well-dressed and arrogant bank manager strode over. He stood in front of Schiller, his arrogant expression subdued a little. , but still gives a domineering feeling.

"Your Majesty," he said in a sharp voice, "I want to know when the reinforcements will arrive? My people have packed up all the assets, we must get out of here and go to a safer place, these Assets cannot fall into the hands of the untouchables out there!"

"Sir, I can't promise you whether reinforcements will come. In fact, I don't know if there will be any so-called reinforcements." Seeler stood up with support, facing the bank manager's gaze, and said, "In addition, , my soldiers are very tired, and I want you to keep your voice down."

"What?!" The manager didn't listen to him. His voice suddenly increased several decibels, almost tearing Schiller's eardrums: "You said there are no reinforcements? Here are the sacred and inviolable properties of the great nobles, you I know the consequences of these properties falling into the hands of untouchables! None of us can afford the wrath of the great nobles!"

"I know very well, sir." Sear roared against the other party's roar, frowning, and at such a close distance, he could even smell the strong perfume emanating from the other party's body, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

He took a step back, distanced himself from the emotional manager, and said, "Sir, I have already told you that our army has been attacked by a large number of mobs, and we can't even communicate with the superior army. The only thing we can do now is to Hold on, this building cannot be breached unless the mob can pull the artillery over."

"You mean we can only be trapped here?" the manager muttered dissatisfiedly, he didn't realize that his shouts attracted many soldiers, who either looked numbly or hostilely at the gaffe Manager, don't say a word.

The manager realized that the soldiers around him were surrounding him. He looked around, and instead of roaring, he adjusted his bow tie to calm himself down a little. Cut off his words, and also diverted everyone's attention.

Seeler was the first to react. His exhaustion seemed to have disappeared. He rushed to the window and looked out, trying to find the source of the gunshots. The blue-blue military uniform he was looking forward to did not appear, but more To his astonishment, a new group of armed mobs rushing out of the street corner was opening fire on the mob besieging the bank!

A sudden salvo from the rear almost broke the mob who besieged the bank. They were shot and killed dozens of people by surprise. The rest didn't even have time to see who the enemy was, so they threw down their weapons and attacked the bank. Fleeing in other directions.

Seeler and the other soldiers who were lying by the window watching were stunned. Just as they were guessing the purpose of this newly emerged armed mob, a young man led by UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com strode towards the bank. , shouted loudly.

"I'm Lieutenant Cross of the 2nd Rifle Company, 3rd Combat Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, don't shoot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the bank, and the soldiers cheered. Although they didn't know why the reinforcements were wearing civilian clothes, they could clearly see the scene when they attacked the mob.

Schiller was also delighted, but he did not easily believe the young man who called himself Lieutenant Cross. He took the initiative to shout to the young man: "Lieutenant Cross, I am the 4th Rifle Company of the 1st Combat Battalion of the 28th Infantry Regiment. Second Lieutenant Pa Siller, what happened to you?"

In other words, why are you not wearing military uniforms?

Charlie replied: "We are separated from the main force. This city is full of people who hate military uniforms. We can only come here if we change into civilian clothes."

Siller nodded. The other party's statement was not unreasonable. When they retreated here, all citizens with weapons in their hands would attack them and curse the military uniforms on them, calling them The king's lackey.

"Remove the obstacles at the gate and let them in." He turned his head and ordered the soldiers, who immediately put down their weapons and ran to the gate, struggling to remove the obstacles one by one.

The bank manager frowned at this scene. He stopped in front of Siller and questioned, "Your Excellency Second Lieutenant, can you guarantee that the group of people outside are reinforcements and not a mob in disguise?"

"I can't guarantee it, sir," Sear replied humbly, "but we have no other choice, do we?"

After he finished speaking, he ignored the snarky manager, passed him directly, and walked towards the door.
