C1178 Real perverts! (1/2)
The treasury was set ablaze for a full hour and a half. After that, smoke rose for another hour and a half before soldiers struggled to get close.
When the commander, EdStefanski, and Molière saw the miserable scene that was unfolding in the treasury, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Was it a person sitting cross-legged on the ground? His body was charred black and covered with a little bit of semi-melted gold. The golden color and the terrible black color formed a shocking contrast, and the burnt smell of human flesh filled the entire vault.
”The melting point of gold is 1064 degrees Celsius. The temperature created by burning oil can reach up to 1400 degrees Celsius, so of course gold can be melted, but …” Commander EdStefanski sighed with a face full of fear.
”But so what if the gold is burnt? Don't you Chinese have a proverb, true gold is not afraid of fire! No matter how much it melts and condenses, the gold is still gold! No matter what shape it has been destroyed into, gold will always be gold, can't it still be used? ”
EdStefanski shook his head regretfully: ”Truly a group of strange Chinese people, we are only here to seek for money, and have not killed many, why would they resist? In the end, they were able to resist, but the result was the same … Someone, search the treasury and take away all the gold! ””
The soldiers rushed into the vault and began to collect the half-melted gold on the ground with the engineers' shovels, bayonets, pickaxes, and other tools. Pieces of deformed gold stuck to the corpses of the dead were thrown into their pockets and transported out.
Very quickly, the secret passage was discovered, and the last efforts of the Chinese merchants were in vain. Russia sailors sneaked into the ocean to collect all the gold scattered in the crevices of the reef and transported them to the warship.
More and more native monkeys were gathered outside the bank. They brought the Russian soldier and broke open one house after another to loot the remaining wealth, and when the Russian Army on the ground realized that they no longer had a war to fight against, they cast their eyes towards the distant village that belonged to the Chinese.
Amidst the sounds of gunfire, one village after another was destroyed, the wealth that the Chinese had been struggling with was plundered, countless civilians were massacred, and countless Chinese citizens fled into the dense forest. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive, but the entire area of the Belait became hell on earth.
East of the Capital and the surrounding Kentun District had already sent a large number of soldiers to try and rescue Belait. However, they were just militia who had gone through simple training.
Luckily, the Russian did not have much time, and they were unable to loot more reclamation area, which allowed more Chinese to escape. Everyone looked at the burning Belait kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, they could no longer protect their land.
