Paine's game

Boom!!!

A large number of buildings creaked and groaned, debris from the explosion scattered in all directions like rain, and hot air waves poured out unbridled. Residents of Atlanta could feel their houses shaking slightly with the shock wave.

"You must have buried too much gunpowder. Aren't you afraid of blowing up Atlanta?"

Paine drove a carriage through the smoke-filled streets and complained to Scarlett Hao in the carriage. Paine had already eaten a mouthful of ashes and his face was covered with dust.

The original coachman, old black Peter, had been sent home. Old black Peter had to organize the servants at home to pack their luggage and prepare to run away. Petey went to find the mercenaries and asked them to set fire to cause riots in the city. Paine was responsible for driving the carriage.

They took Scarlett Hao all the way to detonate the gunpowder they had buried before. As for the northern soldiers who were following them, they had already been sent to see God by fishing and law enforcement, so Sherman didn't know what happened for a while.
"This new type of gunpowder is very stable and generally difficult to detonate unless struck by lightning, but there are not many thunderstorms in Atlanta a year."

Scarlett Hao said nonchalantly, "And don't forget, Petey also buried gunpowder in his house."

More than a dozen sparks of sparkling blue light flew out of the carriage and shot into nearby houses. Some houses immediately exploded with a roar.

I don’t know whether Scarlett Hao’s hand slipped or was intentional, but two of the electric sparks hit Paine’s body, making him feel slightly numb.

"Hey! You hit it right!"

Paine said dissatisfiedly that the electric sparks shot by Scarlett Hao were not very powerful, but they were still very uncomfortable when they hit the body.

"I'm so sorry."

Scarlett Hao apologized without sincerity.

"This narrow-minded woman should find a chance to do it."

Paine thought in his heart that Scarlett was still resenting the previous incident, but now was not the time to fall out with this woman. If everything went as he expected, he would have plenty of means to manipulate this woman.

A series of explosions woke up the entire Atlanta. People thought that another army was invading. Someone in pajamas opened the door, and was immediately frightened by the explosions and retreated into the house.

"Is there no problem with Petey? Will those mercenaries still obey?"

"Peety is not a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken."

Scarlett Hao had great confidence in Pitty, "Those mercenaries from the Old World are just here for money. It's not like they are going to attack the federal regular army, they are just setting fire to the city and causing trouble. They will definitely be happy."

As soon as Scarlett Hao finished speaking, Paine saw several houses burning in the distance, and a few scattered figures splashing liquid with buckets - it was obviously not water, because the fire was getting bigger and bigger.<

/p>

"It seems that Petey succeeded! We should withdraw! The Yankees are not fools. Before Sherman decides to abandon Atlanta, we are in danger at any time. Go back and join Petey!"

"Have those monsters entered Atlanta?"

Sherman naturally heard the commotion in the city. The commotion was so loud that he could see clearly even outside the city with the fire all over the sky.

So Sherman summoned a personal guard from outside the camp to question him. Sherman had a weird temper and did not allow anyone to disturb him when he was resting. These personal guards assumed the responsibility of relaying the call.

"Your Excellency General, it should not be those monsters. Our defense line is now impregnable. The military police just sent a report that a group of people set fire to and looted in the city. They also set off explosions and destroyed many houses. The whole Atlanta is in chaos. The military police asked for instructions.

Support, do we need to mobilize manpower to suppress it?"

"No, let the gendarmerie responsible for public security in the city deal with it first. If the fire spreads, there is no need to save it. Just return to the military camp as soon as possible."

Sherman's expression looked very light.

"No matter who they are, even if they are the traitors of those monsters, they have done me a great favor by doing this kind of thing. Just like the strange wolf before, the more they destroy me, the happier I am! I have had enough.

Without the direction of the White House, Atlanta is meaningless to us! The war on the Western Front is over, I should go to the Eastern Front to help Grant that loser!"
