Chapter 797: Angry Questioning

The fighting between the two sides ended quickly, and the will of these soldiers to resist was broken in a very short time, because the enemies they faced were once their comrades, the people they fought side by side on the battlefield, supported each other, and helped each other.

In addition to this, they saw their relatives in the crowd of attackers, their old fathers, their wrinkled faces shining with anguished eyes, their wives walking in armor and weapons in their arms, and their children, who were not knee-tall and joined the rebellion with blank expressions.

If the rebellion fails, there is no way for all the people to survive the brutal purges of the Attila Empire, whether it is the elderly, women or children, they will not hesitate to be killed, and even the corpses that have lost their lives will be used to warn others, make them feel fearful, become cowards, and lose the will to resist.

Rather than fulfilling their responsibilities as soldiers, they should fulfill their responsibilities as children, husbands, and fathers, and they need to bear the fate of the whole family before they bear the fate of this damned country, and they are the pillars of the family, for the sake of which they can support a small world to live in this cruel world.

It's not just the soldiers who defect, but even the mid-level commanders who have joined them, or these people are the ones who are responsible for the current situation.

These educated people who have seen the culture of the Baltic Empire believe that their country should not be so primitive, dark and ignorant, and that they must do something to save their people from such a depraved state.

The invasion of the Baltic Empire did bring hatred, and they hated these invaders who took the lives of their loved ones, but at the same time, these people were also grateful to the Baltic Empire, because the arrival of the Empire gave them the opportunity to change the status quo.

These people are impure idealists, and they know exactly how illusory their ideals are, how difficult and impossible it is to achieve them.

The power of the Attila Empire is really strong enough to make people unable to resist, and the strength of those knights, I don't know how many midnights have awakened them from their nightmares.

But now the even more terrible Baltic Empire has arrived, and the flames of war they have brought have dispelled the darkness that shrouded the sky and their hearts, and the people of the Attila Empire have tasted a taste they have never tasted, the taste of freedom.

This army, which numbered at least 30,000 men, simply collapsed, and if they relied on the cities they had built, they would be able to resist the attack of the Baltic Empire for at least a few months.

In fact, their offensive prowess was just as good, and then they regrouped under the organization of the officers, and surrounded their masters with weapons.

They were just surrounding, just confronting the White Bears and Mammoths who had gathered, heavily armed, and now only the White Bears and Mammoths could truly gain the trust of the Empire's rulers in this country.

Not only because of their gifts and strong force, but in the past days, as the most loyal minions of Atira, the White Bear and the Mammoth have sparked a killing and spreading fear, which has made them disgusted by everyone, and no one wants to live in peace with these executioners, even if they lay down their weapons, what awaits them will only be death.

Because the Baltic Empire needs to exchange the lives of these executioners for the stability of these newly occupied territories, to redeem the resentment and misunderstanding between the two sides because of the war, the blood and corpses of these executioners are used as the most favorable evidence.

There was no direct start of a battle between the two sides, and they fell into an eerie silence, all waiting for the appearance of several knights in the tent.

Even those who have been filled with hatred and anger know that this is the time to be calm, and even if there is a battle here, even if they are victorious, they cannot afford to win, and no one wants to take their old fathers, weak wives and emaciated children into battle and stand with them in the face of a strong enemy.

Of course, if the other party wants to make a move, they will definitely not take half a step back, even if they die, they will pull the enemy to bury with them, because the death of each enemy can bring the slightest safety to the relatives behind them.

"This is a despicable conspiracy, Sámi. ”

The humanoid creature that came out of the tent, covered in thick armor, said in a slightly strange accent.

Subconsciously, all the Sámi people took a step back, whether he was a battle-hardened soldier, an old man, a woman and a child, when they saw this figure, they all felt fear in their hearts.

These Sámi people are deeply aware of the horror of this strange-looking knight, which has been imprinted in the bones of the Sámi people over time, and even if they raise the banner of rebellion, it will still be difficult for them to overcome such fears.

The sturdy, sharp weapons in their hands could not give them much security at this time, even the soldiers who had undergone severe training showed no difference from those civilians at this moment.

"Plague!"

Among the cowardly, there were always a few unusually brave men, who came out, nervously holding their weapons, sweating profusely, and trembling slightly.

Even with such fear, and such cowardice, they stood up and faced this knight as an equal at the forefront of the army.

Even if it was just such a simple action, these people could be called warriors, they did what others did not dare to do, and stood in front of the strong that they absolutely could not defeat.

The commotion behind him soon stopped, not only fear would be contagious, but courage would also be, and brutally killing the brave was often the opposite choice.

"Looks like you have something to talk to me about. ”

"Sámi, no, should I call you traitors?"

The plague's voice was a little playful, and it was hard to tell from his voice how much anger, how much shame, and how much regret about failure.

"No, it's not that we betrayed the Attila Empire, it's that the Empire betrayed us...... The state should not be like this. ”

The youngest warrior had calmed the fear in his heart by this time, and his tone was calm and bumpy.

"The victory that the Empire has brought you. ”

"It also brings us pain and death. ”

"Is that why you chose to betray? Tell me, young Sami people. ”

There was already a slight impatience in the Plague's voice, he shouldn't have wasted too much time here arguing with these traitors about what had actually happened.

He wanted to kill as he had done before, but reason was telling them that he had to sit down and talk to these people and understand the reason for their betrayal.

Of the four knights, plague and war were the most open-minded, and they were willing to accept new ideas, even if it was so slow, that they could not keep up with the times.

"Yes, we need freedom, we want freedom, we don't want to continue to be your slaves. ”

The young warrior did not hesitate to speak his inner thoughts, looking very reckless, which was likely to anger the knight in front of him, which would bring ruin to all of them.

"Young warrior, are you trying to provoke me? I think you all know what will happen to angering me?"

The faces of the surrounding mammoths and white bear people had become difficult to look at, and it was difficult for them to accept that their master was being humiliated like this in front of them.

However, they would not have acted without the knight's order, they did not know what the plague had in mind, what his intentions were, and why he had allowed these rebellions to run rampant, but they would still obey the knight's order, even if they could not understand the meaning of the order.

"No, I'm not provoking you, mighty Plague Knight. ”

The young warrior walked towards the plague with an understanding that all races could understand, and he was not afraid, but respectful of its power, and in the young Sami man's heart, the plague was worthy of respect only for his strength.

"I'm just telling the truth that we've been ignoring and avoiding, and it's become a gulf that we can't cross. ”

"This is not the first time that such a chasm has arisen, and when I was not yet born, the orcs that can now only be seen in the mountains, the centaurs who gallop outside, the giants who live on the ice fields further north, they all once had a chasm with the Empire. ”

Calm down warrior, his words are very clear, it is clear that he has an extraordinary birth and has received an enviable education.

"So, do you want to be those shameful orcs, centaurs, and giants? ”

This sentence can basically be regarded as an ultimatum, the air has become heavy, both sides have begun to tense their bodies, and it may be that soon, the land will be red with blood and filled with corpses.

"Calm down, plague. ”

"When you came to us, you had the idea to talk, the decaying empire was finally ready to make a change, even if it seemed too late now. ”

The Sami man didn't back down, he said calmly.

"Next, it's not a battle that we can participate in, your enemy has never been us, and as you think, the Sami are insignificant in this war. ”

After the Sami man said this, he turned around and left the place without the slightest hesitation, and the Sami man next to him followed him, slowly receding like a tide.

They gave up the fight.

But it does not mean that the plague has triumphed, in this confrontation and conversation, they are the ones who really belong to be spared, and everyone present sees in the eyes of those Sámi people that they have realized that it is the courage that has been aroused, the fire that has been ignited.

Fighting here, it will be difficult for them to be able to achieve victory, because their enemies, those damned armies of the Baltic Empire, have appeared in their eyes.

The dark clouds flying from the sky, which look like dark clouds, are actually legions of gargoyles, and these structures made of rock have become even more terrifying after experiencing the baptism of war.

Spellcasters who are adept at creating constructs are always inspired on the battlefield and constantly change the shape of these constructs, making them more suitable for war and more effective in performing tactical tasks.

Of course, this is a task that will cost a lot to complete, at least the obsidian, the marble, the precious ores, and the more precious gems are to be used by consumables.

In order to make each structure that can be made theoretically on the drawing, the number of tests required to actually manufacture it is not enough to complete it in a few times.

It's not free for the Empire to support these experiments, nor is it free for research that can be squandered, and spellcasters who are skilled at making constructs must come up with something that will satisfy the Empire.

And how to reflect the value of these products, how to make the empire show the superiority of these products, obviously through war, through victory from war, to prove that the empire's investment can get enough returns.

The Sámi are retreating rapidly, and it is clear that they know that there is no way to avoid this war, and that their city of Sápmi will be completely in flames, and will be reduced to ruins and ashes in the raging flames of war.

They are all ready to retreat when they resist today, so everything that needs to be packed has been packed, and then they will give up the battlefield to both sides.

As for themselves, they will join the Baltic Empire and work as free people, they have no doubts about the victory of the Baltic Empire, and the wars that have taken place during this time have made them realize how powerful the new country they are about to join is.

"It seems that they want to give us defeat today. ”

The plague said sarcastically.

He'd been fighting those constructs more than a few times, and of course he knew how difficult they were, and the real trouble was that they weren't affected by his power.

His plague had no effect on these constructs, and after his vaunted abilities wore off, he was only a stronger legend, thankfully more powerful than the constructs, and thankfully, the more powerful legends were strong enough to deal with the constructs of these gargoyles.

Fortunately, the Baltic Empire's constructs have entered a bottleneck stage, and they are unable to create constructs that reach the legendary level, and they can't really create weapons that can hurt the legendary.
