Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Dirty Duel
However, in this highly stressful situation, there was only a few more deep breaths, and for those two Beihai soldiers, it looked like their past lives.
The soldiers who recovered first did not stare at their opponents, but couldn't help but cast their eyes on the direction where the emperor was standing.
The soldier's lips trembled, and he didn't say anything. But his eyes were full of the fear of death and the prayer for life, if Perris could let him go at this time and forgive him for his previous sins, he would rather that nothing had happened just now, even if he continued to live in the army, it would be far better than now.
Don't be a guard for the emperor, even if you are a slave, you are willing.
Since His Majesty the Emperor can forgive the sins of one of the two of them, he will definitely not mind simply letting them both go, as long as they don't do anything, there may be a glimmer of life in front of everyone......
In a trance, he seemed to see the emperor's slightly open mouth, as if he was about to forgive his crimes and give him a way out.
The soldier was so excited that he knelt down again, thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his grace, and gave him a chance to start over.
But, for some reason, the soldier suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be kneeling on the ground, but someone pushed him to the ground, so he had his current posture.
Immediately afterwards, his vest suddenly felt a sense of coolness, and with each heartbeat, the coldness on his back would expand a little. But this cold feeling does not make him feel cold, but a kind of relief and exhilaration, which is difficult to describe in words.
He turned around with difficulty, wanting to look at his back, but he didn't want to see his companion in front of him, his face was still a little frightened, his right hand trembled as if it was convulsed, and he looked at his eyes as if he had seen a demon crawling out of the abyss.
Somehow, seeing the appearance of his companion, the soldier suddenly felt the desire to laugh out loud, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to pull the fellow soldier who seemed to have become stupid, and tell him to join him in thanking His Majesty the Emperor for his forgiveness.
In the soldier's feelings, the countryman's body still trembled, and he couldn't stop shaking with the world, which made the soldier a little upset. He reprimanded in a low voice:
"You guy, you've been like this since then, you can't see a big scene, you're braver than anyone else on the surface, but there's a coward living in your heart......"
There seemed to be two more desires in the soldier's heart, one was to continue these trivial words, and the other was to shut up and wait for His Majesty the Emperor's fate.
Although he was now convinced, Perris would forgive him, and he firmly believed in his own judgment, as if this had happened, but somehow, his body was giving him a strong sense of crisis, as if he was going to die at any time, which made him feel a little uneasy in his determination.
"Could it be that he is not pious enough, or is there something that disgusts His Majesty?"
The soldier only felt that a thousand thoughts were spinning in his mind, and every place seemed extremely real, until an indescribable sense of exhaustion came to his heart, all the thoughts, those fragments of memories were scattered all over the ground like snowflakes, everything seemed to dissipate, but everything seemed to be far away, in the last moments of his life, an obscure starry sky appeared in front of the soldier's eyes, and a few stars hung on the starry sky, as if looking at him.
It reminded him of his childhood, his hometown.
Northland, perhaps it has left the most cruel reality to the world, but it can never change the eternal pursuit of human beings, which is the infinite yearning for the beauty of the world. In this barren land, there is the brightest and most beautiful starry sky in the world, clean and clear, like a dream, that is, within reach, and so far away that people dare not play with it.
He fell, his blue, gray eyes darkening a little. The color of his pupils is always very good-looking, like a clear sky that will not be bright, as long as he looks at it, it makes people feel a little looking forward to it. He has always attributed all this to the stars of his hometown, and he believes that it is because of the long observation of the starry sky at night that the color of his pupils has become so transparent and bright.
As he fell, a sword leaked out, and it was tightly inserted into the soldier's back, although it did not stab any vital points, but it made his blood flow out all the time. Everyone could see that the speed of bleeding would soon kill him.
But he didn't seem to notice it at all, or maybe he just didn't want to notice it. In the last moments of his life, he may only want to live in his dreams rather than face this terrible reality.
The soldier's hands kept groping on the ground, as if trying to grasp something soft. But he was now lying on the cold snow, and he could not touch anything but the frozen mud and the ice slag formed by the condensation of the snow.
"Home, we can go home......"
His corpse fluttered on the ground for a long time, and knowing that his body could no longer produce the slightest strength, his movements stopped completely.
Looking at the fallen body of the soldier in front of him, the other soldier who couldn't see any support on his body also squatted on the lin.
Although all his actions were to take advantage of the moment when his companion looked at the emperor, he stabbed the weapon in his hand into the former's back, but it still seemed to take all the strength of his body, making him unable to move.
Perhaps, as his countryman did at the end of his life, the surviving soldier was only more decisive on the surface, but even more fragile than the dead man on the inside.
Just watching his former comrades-in-arms die in front of him in such a strange posture, his nerves were already on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, a voice with a bit of ridicule came into the soldier's ears, and the owner of the voice said:
"You've won, soldier, congratulations. You are braver and more decisive than your brother. It's just a pity for your brother, but in terms of size, few viewers are optimistic about you, but it's a pity that your brother, I don't know what madness he had, he didn't even have a sword, and he died directly in this snow. ”
When the words fell, the soldier looked up with some confusion to find the source of the sound, but he didn't want to, he looked up, and he didn't find the person who spoke, but found that he had become a focus of the crowd.
After the death of the soldiers in front, the surviving soldiers became the focus of almost everyone's attention.
The soldiers, the generals, and even the Emperor Perris all unabashedly set their eyes on the soldiers, which were curious, admiring, but more still contemptuous and mean.
Whatever the reason, the soldier had just killed a fellow villager of his own, someone who had not even tried to resist. It was because of the inaction of his companion that he won the duel, but it was precisely because of the inaction of his companion that he earned all the sympathy of the shower, so that when he came, no one would want to understand him, on the contrary, even he would become infamous because of the matter, and no one would want to deal with him.
No, there was actually one person who was willing to talk to him.
General Nong Nuo looked at the soldier who had lost his soul and couldn't help but comfort:
"I regret it now when I think about it? I originally wanted to earn some fame through this matter, but I didn't expect to lose my face here. ”
After hearing this, the surviving soldier seemed to be crazy, he walked to the corpse with his face half-covered, groped and pulled out the short sword inserted in the deceased's body, and exerted all his strength, as if he was about to let out a lifetime of rage, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, no matter how hard he exerted, he could only shout a faint "whine".
He barked like a dog. The knight on the side commented, but this almost unintentional comment became the last gift that the warrior heard in this world.
The warrior wiped his neck with his sword, and a stream of blood splattered out of the slash, staining a new clearing red. The two corpses overlapped crookedly, and from the afterglow of the torches, it did not look like a gladiatorial arena that had been struck, but like a tablecloth that a third-rate painter had not wanted to stain, which made people feel a little disgusting.
The surrounding warriors closed their eyes as if they could not bear the humiliation, and in Sardinia, suicide was also a great crime, like the second dead soldier, and he desecrated the faith and betrayed the good will of His Majesty the Emperor, which was no longer ignorant of good and bad, but more like a heinous thug.
"Your Majesty, ...... these two sinners"
The palace guards standing on the side finally couldn't help but ask after seeing the blood on the two corpses completely congealed. Whatever the reason, it seems too strange to leave these two dead men in the middle of the camp for no apparent reason.
There was nothing to hesitate about, but the death of the two soldiers had aroused disgust in the army, as if they didn't even want to touch the two corpses.
Perris frowned, both soldiers were dead, which was a bit unexpected to him, but his purpose was still achieved.
He wanted to use the simplest way to make these soldiers understand what it was like to kill each other. After this treatment, Perris had enough reason to believe that the soldiers would not mutiny, even if they were not satisfied at this time.
As for the additional drop in morale, it was not his job in the first place, and of course he did not have to bear the consequences.
On this matter, both Perris and Sward Knight know it.
Just as the two of them exchanged glances, an unexpected figure suddenly intervened in the two Zheng
At this time, the monks who should be sowing faith in the army and maintaining order came out at this time:
"Your Majesty, allow me to deal with them. ”
Despite the politeness of his words, the monk moved faster than everyone expected.
He quickly pulled out a knife from his bosom, but there was a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, the monk who always looked smiling in the army took his knife and threw away the two dead corpses.
Seeing such a heinous scene, the soldiers' first reaction was not to step forward to stop them, but to close their eyes in unison.
Blasphemy.
They could accept death in battle, or kill the enemy, but in the face of the act of dissecting the corpse, they invariably chose to avoid it, and even the knight chief Sward was stunned, his eyes dodged, and he was a little reluctant to observe the situation at the scene.
The monk looked like he didn't care about it, he was prostrate on the corpse, his eyes flashing, his hand holding the knife was constantly trembling, his lips were slightly turning up and down, trembling and squeezing out a few characters.
"It's rare, it's really rare...... If only it were not in the humble wilderness, but in the sanatorium of Abbasquiya. ”
The monk cut open his clothes with a knife, examined his wounds from the back, and then moved from the muscles of his back, tossing the flesh layer by layer, and finally removing a piece of bone.
"Tsk, sure enough, the skin and flesh of the north have been completely frozen and rotted, otherwise they wouldn't be unaware of such a thing as a dagger on their backs. ”
"This ...... What a perfect structure, simply the product of a combination of robustness and flexibility. ”
"It's ...... Ribs? oh...... It doesn't look the same as a pig's, except for a slight change in the number of roots. ”
As the monk's muttering grew louder and louder, the palace guards standing near the corpse suddenly woke up as if they were startled, and stepped forward in three or two steps to isolate the monk from the corpse.
"Pay attention to who you are. One of the guards whispered.
"How can you do such a thing, what will all the soldiers in the army think of you in the future. The other guard said, as he did so, snatching one of the bones that the monk was still holding onto, and then threw it hard at the bodies of the two corpses.
Sword also woke up, and he shouted and dispersed the soldiers who were still watching, drove them back to his tent, and arranged for several knights to patrol the camp overnight to manage order in the camp.
After almost all the soldiers returned to the camp, the emperor looked at the bodies of the two soldiers in a daze, and one of them couldn't help but vomit and fell to Lin in a daze.
For a long time in the past, Perris's physical condition was not too good, and when he attended the banquet tonight, he was only emotionally high, so he suppressed his health problems.
Regardless of whether he is a young man or an old man, or he is naturally gifted with the ability to grasp people's hearts, he is only a child who is not yet fourteen years old, and even in the great Pruus, whose average life expectancy is less than forty years old, it will take a while before he can be regarded as an adult.
Everyone
