Chapter 21: Hands Do Not Stain Blood
Catherine was even more hesitant when she was scolded by Susan, she looked at Lear helplessly, with tears in her eyes, and asked, "What should I do?" Even though she has been a mercenary leader for many years, she is still a kind woman, otherwise she would not have saved Lear. Seeing that the mercenary group was almost collapsing, she lost her opinion and had no choice but to ask for help from the men around her.
"Tsk, this barbarian woman is really good at acting, and even this immortal can't help but want to help her. Squire couldn't help but sneer in Lear's ear.
Lear didn't care about the sword, but looked at the traitor on the other side and said, "Captain, since you have expelled them from the mercenary group, then we have no excuse to deal with them, forget about the others, but Schmidt killed our firelight people after all, and can't stay!"
Schmidt glared at Lear fiercely and turned to run, but Catherine picked up Cruise's dropped sword, poured her fighting spirit into her hand, and threw it violently—Catherine actually hated herself, believing that if she had made a decision earlier, Willis would not have died.
The sword spun and flew out, slicing through a graceful arc, cutting Schmidt's head with precision, and finally nailing it to a tree, humming and vibrating.
The remaining six people were silent, Scar Los gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and cried while slapping himself: "I was blinded by Jinkla! Captain, I was forced by Cruise, the old leader also saved me back then, if Cruise hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have betrayed you." Captain, let me be honest, I've always loved you, but because of Cruise, I never dared to say that this love is buried deep in my heart......"
"Poof......" Susan laughed at first, and then couldn't help laughing, "You bitch bitch, you whole of the Dutch Empire can't find anything more cheap than you." Hahahaha...... I'm laughing to death...... You bastard went to steal the countess's jewelry, and when you were discovered, you said the same thing, and I was next to me at the time, but the brainless countess believed it and spared you. Hahaha...... I didn't expect to see another good show......"
Scar Los closed his mouth, his face blue and white, and Lear couldn't help but laugh.
Catherine couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't even care about Susan's swearing—she used to dissuade Susan from swearing, but in the big dye vat of the mercenary group, not using foul language is the outlier.
Lear slowly walked towards Scarloth, stopping as he passed Cruise.
His sword was slowly handed to Cruise's neck, and instead of looking at Cruise, he said to a group of traitors: "Cruise's life is in your hands, do you think it is better for Cruise to be killed by the bandits, or by you traitors who colluded with the bandits?"
Catherine looked at Lear and then at the unconscious Cruise, sighed softly, and turned away, unable to bear to look again. Even though Cruise did something wrong, the two sides have known each other for more than 20 years after all and grew up together. Catherine had used to think of Cruise as her brother, but today she realized that this brother was not as good as a child she had only known for a few days.
Susan's eyes began to glow, she looked at Lear carefully, and thought, "I didn't expect this noble young master to be so smart and ruthless, if he can really inherit the title, it is better to join him like Catherine." ”
The remaining six traitors are not good people, so they naturally understand Lear's means of killing them all, but the problem is that the choice is not in their hands, or they must choose the option that Lear prefers.
"Dear Master Lear, we have all seen the heroic death of Deputy Head Cruise in the battle with the bandits. Scar Los said cautiously.
Lear raised his chin and asked the others, "You saw that too?"
"I saw it, I saw it......" the others nodded.
Lear took a step back and said, "That's fine, to prove that you have all seen it, pick up your sword, and each of you will stab him in the chest, deep, to see blood." If someone doesn't stab deep enough, then Susan won't mind making up with your body, will she?"
Susan hurriedly put on a knightly appearance and said, "Your order is my mission, my lord!"
Scar Los gritted his teeth and walked over and aimed a sword at the heart of the unconscious Cruise.
"Poof...... The moment the sword was drawn, the blood sprayed all over Rose's face, and Cruise was awakened by the sharp pain.
"Looth, you...... Uh, uh, uh......" Cruise tilted his head, dead and blinding.
When the other five traitors saw that Cruise was dead, they took turns stepping forward, and one of them gave Cruise a sword, each sword used the best strength, and the last traitor even stabbed into it, and it took a long time to pull it out.
Lear looked at the dead Cruise and sneered.
"Cruise must not be left behind, even if his hands are broken, maybe there is magic that can be connected, and the grass must be cut and eradicated! But after all, Cruise and Catherine grew up together, if I kill Cruise with my own hands, she must feel uncomfortable, as long as it is not my hand, she will not blame me even if she wants to blame me in the future." I must inherit the title now, otherwise I will not live for a few years, and if I want to inherit or even sit on the throne, I must attract enough men. Now that Catherine has become my Inheritance Knight, I will do my best to win over and eliminate all unfavorable factors!"
"The best-case scenario is naturally to kill all these traitors, but Catherine has killed enough today, these people are her old subordinates after all, and she will definitely not make a move. That's fine, at least such a person won't betray me, if she really kills all the betrayed subordinates in cold blood and ruthlessly, I will have to pay attention to her in the future. ”
"It's impossible for Susan and I to kill everyone in front of us, it's best if we can divide and kill them, if not, anyway, they are all murderers who killed Cruise with their own hands, and they won't be a threat in the future. Scar Los must die, though. I didn't offend him at all, but he repeatedly targeted me, and I could see before that he not only hated me, but even had murderous intent, and this person could bend and stretch, and it must be a scourge to stay!"
In just a few days, he was forced to transform from an ordinary student into a cold-blooded mercenary and heir to the nobility.
He is not smarter than these ordinary mercenaries, but he has been exposed to knowledge and information far beyond these mercenaries who have never left the Duchy of Barlow in their lives, and are even illiterate. Under the threat of death, his survival instinct is activated, and he actively looks for useful information from the complicated information, and then contacts the current situation to make the best choice.
If there was no threat of death, he would never have thought so much about a Cruise and stabbed him to death with a sword.
Seeing that each of the traitors had stabbed Cruise, he put on a spear starting hand and said to Scar Los, "Loos, remember the other day." I'm practicing my own sword in the woods, but you're going to avenge the red-haired Russo, and I'd probably have been wounded by you if it hadn't been for the magic whistle. I said the other day, if you want to compare swords, you can compare, and I will look for you in ten days. Although it has not been ten days now, you and I may never see each other again, and I officially propose to you to compete with the sword!
