Chapter 1598: The Great Riot

~7 min read 1,303 words

Hearing these words, Teresa was shaken.

She understood Liu Zheng's meaning.

"No, no, no, this will cause more people to die; I cannot start a war with the Holy Cross Army." Teresa was panicked to the point of desperation, having absolutely no idea what to do.

Liu Zheng stared into her eyes and said calmly, "Prague is already Hell right now. We both know very well what these refugees need, and even if you don't incite a riot, perhaps in a few days, these refugees will incite one without the slightest hesitation."

Teresa looked at Liu Zheng with a complex expression.

"But they will die."

"They will die, but the price they pay will be the total collapse of Catholicism in Prague."

Just at this moment, shouts of killing came from outside, and firelight suddenly filled all of Prague.

Hearing this, Teresa looked out the window in a panic; the refugees on the streets, who had been suppressed for so long, could finally no longer endure the oppression of the Holy See, and they rushed onto the streets, burning, killing, and looting.

The entire country seemed to have fallen into madness.

And at this time, Liangduo, who had gone out to find medicine, saw this scene.

The demon had finally erupted in this living hell.

Liangduo did not dare to linger for even half a second; he pulled his worn-out hat low to cover his face and quickly bypassed these rioting refugees to hurry back.

The little girl's life was currently hanging by a thread; he had to be faster.

But just at this moment, two refugees saw Liangduo, who was dressed in rags but clutching a parcel.

This parcel attracted their attention; to them, tonight would be a night of crazy looting.

Although they did not know what was inside, they displayed pure greed toward Liangduo.

The two crazed refugees rushed up; Liangduo did not notice them and was immediately tackled to the ground.

The two refugees opened Liangduo's parcel, revealing some strange items inside, and immediately looked disappointed.

Liangduo had just hit his head on the ground and was currently feeling dizzy.

Liangduo looked at the parcel they had snatched away and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Give it back to me."

The two refugees ignored him and ransacked his body, but they did not find anything valuable.

There was only this parcel of things that they did not know what they were.

In a fit of anger, the two refugees set this thing on fire and burned it all to ashes!

Seeing this scene, Liangduo exploded.

His rage meter shot up; he endured the pain and climbed up from the ground.

He grappled with the two refugees.

Liangduo's fists were stained with blood.

He had originally come to save and soothe these refugees, but now he was personally finishing off these two refugees.

Liangduo looked at the medicinal herbs that had burned to ash; as the wind blew, the ashes dissipated, appearing in Liangduo's eyes as if they were the little girl's life.

These were the medicinal herbs he had spent an entire day racing against the Grim Reaper to find.

But now they were already...

His heart felt as if it had been deeply pierced by an invisible bayonet; the heart-wrenching pain spread from his heart.

At this time, the Holy See had been completely overrun by the enraged refugees.

When Douglas left, the Holy Cross Army he left behind was simply unable to withstand those enraged refugees.

The Cardinal could not understand at all how these refugees, who had never dared to resist, dared to attack the church.

And he understood even less why these refugees dared to be so reckless with their lives.

The Cardinal would not understand until his death why this had happened, but now he had no way to continue thinking.

His head was cut off by the angry refugees.

The entire Prague fell into chaos.

It even affected the outskirts of Prague.

Yuesefu looked at the firelight erupting from the main city and frowned.

Liangduo and Daniel were in the city at this moment; seeing the firelight, he sighed—Liangduo had failed.

Their mission was to come to Prague to stabilize the situation, and he had stayed here to maintain these refugees in the outskirts.

With the help of Liu Zheng and the others, these refugees who still had farmland were barely holding on.

Yuesefu looked out into the distance and saw refugees holding weapons, surging toward the outskirts.

Seeing the madness in their eyes that did not look human, Yuesefu was stunned.

Seeing these refugees killing their way over, Yuesefu quickly notified the other refugees nearby to hurry and flee for their lives.

Seeing these refugees charging over, Yuesefu quickly notified the other refugees nearby to hurry and flee for their lives.

The entire Prague had fallen into madness, but in the Small Tavern, perhaps because of the good deeds of Liu Zheng and Teresa...

These refugees did not attack this Small Tavern.

Teresa looked at the riot outside and lost her composure.

To her, the turmoil in Prague was a disaster for Austria.

Liu Zheng stood beside her and said, "I didn't expect it to come so quickly."

"Teresa, this turmoil can no longer be stopped; we are powerless."

"War is just this cruel," Liu Zheng said indifferently.

Teresa had long since recognized the reality and nodded.

She no longer paid attention to the situation outside and made a choice in her heart.

She paid no further attention to the situation outside and made her choice in her heart.

Just at this moment, Liangduo hurried back to the Small Tavern carrying a parcel, but he looked completely dejected.

Teresa looked at him returning and was still somewhat relieved: "Where are the medicinal herbs?"

Liangduo pointed at the parcel, found a chair, and slumped into it as if he had lost all his strength.

He no longer knew what to do.

Teresa was stunned; she opened the parcel, looked at the medicinal herb residue left inside, and was instantly dumbfounded.

Liangduo said slowly: "I encountered a refugee attack in the city, and they burned all my medicine."

Hearing this news, everyone fell into silence.

The medicinal herbs were gone, and with them, the hope of potentially saving the little girl completely.

Daniel rushed out, saying with a panicked expression: "Her condition is not good."

Everyone was stunned, and Liu Zheng was the first to stand up.

He examined the little girl's injuries; they had already reached a precarious point.

Liu Zheng said in a deep voice: "She is not going to make it."

Liangduo, this young Councilor, fell into complete despair after hearing these words.

Liangduo wailed loudly on the floor, as if he had lost all his strength.

Daniel remained silent, clenching his fists as he prepared to rush out to take revenge.

Teresa clenched her fists tightly, a nameless fire burning in her heart.

"Come back!" Teresa shouted in a deep voice.

She looked at Daniel and coldly questioned him: "Who are you going to take revenge on?"

"Those refugees?"

"Or the Crusaders?"

Daniel froze in place; the little girl had been severely wounded by the Crusaders, but the life-saving medicinal herbs had been burned by the refugees.

He did not know who he should seek revenge against, or if both groups were his enemies.

But if they had not brought the little girl out in the first place, would she not have died?

Daniel fell into silence.

He did not know what to do, nor did he know what he should be doing.

Teresa looked at Liu Zheng: "If we change the treatment environment and have enough medicine, is there still hope?"

Liu Zheng pondered for a moment: "I don't know, but we can try."

"Good," Teresa made her decision.
