Chapter 7

"Ah!" a scream, and the King's messenger was pierced in the chest by the standing General Walker, and his mouth was simmering, and what he wanted to say was not said after all. I saw that his eyes slowly darkened, his pupils slowly dilated, and he fell backwards.

With a "poof", General Walker, who was standing, drew his holy sword, and the fiery red gem on the hilt seemed to be even more brilliant.

The corpse on the ground, with a hole in its chest, did not spurt out any blood. Maybe the blood that was about to spurt out was absorbed by the ruby, so the gem became unusually bright.

"I don't know if this killing is right or wrong. The seated General Walker seemed to be talking to himself, as if to the people next to him.

"No way, he had to die!" General Walker, who was standing, sighed.

"Even if he is a fake messenger, he came in the name of the king's messenger, and so many of our soldiers are watching. Now we are also passive. ”

"Even if he is a real messenger, we can't keep him and take care of him, after all, he is still a scourge!" General Walker, who was standing, looked a little sentimental.

"It's ominous to kill the righteous! I can't imagine that one day we will also reach the point where we may kill the righteous. The sad words of the sitting General Walker could not show any emotional fluctuations in his expression.

"As you said, the soldiers have seen this messenger, what is the end of our battle next?" General Walker, who was standing, seemed to regain his composure, and shifted his gaze from the corpse on the ground to the seated General Walker.

Let out the news, the crippled General Walker, because of his physical immobility, was seriously injured by the king's messenger, and later died of his injuries. ”

General Walker, who was seated, thought for a moment and said again: "Unfortunately, it doesn't seem appropriate to die at this time, after all, we just lack a reason to send troops now. In this way, you stab me with the holy sword, and then I will go to recuperate from my wounds, and I will entrust you with all the things of organizing the money and food of the soldiers. ”

General Walker, who was standing, gave the seated General Walker a sword in the way discussed between the two.

The seated General Walker smiled and slowly fell backwards. The ruby of the Holy Sword glowed red again, this time just like last time. Not a single drop of blood was outward.

After a while, the outside of the Chinese army's tent was lively, and the soldiers lit torches and went around to investigate the comrades who assassinated General Walker, and the body of the king's messenger who assassinated General Walker was carried out by his confidants and secretly disposed of outside the barracks.

In the barracks, a wave of grief and indignation spread. The latest military order, everyone is ready for war imminently.

In the boot camp in the distance, the two men quietly avoided everyone and came to a secluded place.

"Godfather, what do you think about Walker's assassination?" the young man, who had become a recruit in disguise, asked another young man who looked equally young.

"Young Master, I feel like they've been following us all the time. Maybe we were afraid that we would use Walker's army, so we came up with such a trick to draw salaries. ”

"It seems like that's the case, but doesn't the godfather see that there's something wrong?" the young soldier looked around at his godfather.

"Young Master feels that there is something wrong with this matter?" the young-looking godfather had a serious expression and made a gesture of listening to his ears.

"Whether Walker's loyalty is now worth studying. The young man didn't look very happy, "If he is a loyal servant, even if he is assassinated, there is no need to let everyone in the barracks know." Not to mention that his assassin was under the banner of the king's messenger. It seems to me that this guy is making an excuse for himself to send troops, and he has been preparing a rebellion. ”

"The young master is very right. As soon as you said that, I instantly understood. He had been preparing for the conscription before. And here, I heard that there seem to be people from the Dragon Knights of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom who have come to our border. As a border general, he knew that the spies of the enemy country would hear the news, but he still made a storm about his assassination, and he deliberately wanted to lure the enemy army. Maybe this guy has hooked up with the dragon knight of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, and Walker has to guard against it. ”

"Damn, a huge country, now in a miasma by these rebellious ministers and thieves. As a member of the royal family, I can't do anything, and I really feel that I don't have the face to continue living. The more the young man spoke, the angrier he became, his hands clutching his armor tightly.

"Young master, don't be angry, if you are angry, you can't calmly analyze the problem. ”

"You're right, or maybe I was wrong in the first place. The young man seemed to slowly calm down, "This time it was the wise general Walker who was injured, and his brother Mangfu may not be able to see so far." If Walker had been in a coma since he was assassinated, it is estimated that his brother's IQ would most likely only think about revenge and forget the important task of defending the Celestial Dragon Kingdom. ”

"Now that the wise general Walker is seriously injured, at this time, the Tianlong Kingdom is coming, and it is really an internal and external trouble. Young master, this place of right and wrong is too dangerous, should we hurry up and escape from this place. ”

The young man was asked this by the godfather and fell into thought.

"No, this place is probably the safest place. The young man said very calmly. "Now, Walker's defense area is leaderless because of Walker's assassination. The fighters of our new battalion are about to be reorganized. If I have the ability to become the boss of the new barracks, or I can use it as capital to achieve hegemony. ”

"Young Master, what are you going to do?"

"Let's take a look at Walker's next steps. If Walker dares to rebel and collude with the Celestial Dragon Kingdom. We will condemn Walker in the name of the royal family immediately. While the soldiers of the new barracks have not been poisoned too much by Walker, we will use the new barracks as the backbone to surprise their brothers as quickly as possible. ”

"It's a risky move, but at the moment it seems like the best way to save the day. ”

"The next thing we have to do is to seize the leadership of the new barracks. Recruit Captain Rocky is also a formidable figure that should not be underestimated. ”

In the nearby Kingdom of Celestial Dragons, Dragon Knight Henry Gretel has just received the news that General Walker has been assassinated by the King's Emissary.

"God help me, God help me!" Henry Gretel laughed and set off for Duke Gretel's place.

"Henry, you're getting carried away. Duke Gretel was dressed very simply at this time, and he was fishing on the edge of the small river in the palace, and when he saw Henry Gretel's face was excited, he said lightly.

"Father, our opportunity to accomplish great things has come. Although Henry Gretel was criticized by his father, he was on the rise at this time, so he didn't particularly care.

"You're saying Walker was assassinated, right? The old duke was tepid, and seemed to take the matter completely unseriously.

"Father, isn't this a godsend?" said Henry Gretel, bewildered by the old duke's cold reaction.

"Henry, now is not the time to use swords. The old duke said lightly, lifted the fishing line and looked at it. "You see, the fish hasn't been baited yet. At this time, the thread is exposed. ”

"Father, I don't understand. Shouldn't he take advantage of his illness to kill him?" Henry Gretel became more and more confused, and could not figure out what the old duke was thinking.

"Henry, as a man in charge of the whole situation, no matter how favorable the news you get, don't get excited. Because happiness is likely to make you lose the ability to analyze problems calmly. The old duke turned his head to look at his most beloved son, and said earnestly.

"I'm sorry, father, but I was reckless. Henry respectfully apologized to the old duke.

"However, I feel that I have calmed down and still do not see any conspiracy against us in this matter. ”

After hearing his son's words, the old duke turned around and waved his hand, signaling the people around him to go somewhere else. Then he beckoned and asked Henry to sit down on his own.

"First of all, there are a few things that I still haven't figured out. The old duke was next to Henry, patiently inspiring and guiding his children.

"Father is saying that our intelligence has been interrupted in some parts of the Peacock Country recently?" Henry saw his father prompting him, and hurriedly said what he thought in his heart.

"Yes, the Peacock Kingdom has become extremely abnormal since the change of king. Even if our intelligence network were discovered by them, it would not be possible to have such a strange situation. ”

"This is true, does my father suspect that the news of Walker's assassination is false information?" Henry thought quickly as he listened to the old duke's words.

"There is no doubt that this is disinformation. The old duke sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and said lightly.

"Father, how did you tell this was a disinformation?"

Henry was completely confused, desperate for an answer from his father.

"There are a few points that are problematic about this matter. The old duke looked at the fishing line in the water.

"My father and Walker's battles have been a lot over the years. These two brothers, although one is called a wise general and the other is called a strong general, but in fact, both of them are extremely smart characters. Although most of the time it is the wise general Walker who is dealing with some tricky problems, he is able to sing Walker and him very well. From this point of view, both of them are amazing characters. ”

"Father, I still don't understand. I don't know what causal relationship this has with the fact that Zhi's assassination was false information. ”

"The assassination of Walker by the King's Emissary is a deliberate release. The old duke's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied with his son's performance today.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. They deliberately released this news in order to lure us into sending troops. Henry seemed to slowly understand what the old duke meant.

"Have you forgotten that your father almost died at Walker's hands when you were a child?" the old duke seemed to recall something he didn't want to recall. That year, Walker cheated his father into sending troops and then set up an ambush. ”

"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future!"
