CHAPTER XXXIX
"The people inside come out and speak!" A thousand-strong team of the Metropolitan Guards drove up to the outside of the Shangxiang branch, and a man dressed as an officer came out and shouted into the branch.
Minos straightened his clothes, walked out of the courtyard gate, and smiled at the officer: "It turned out to be Captain Leopold, fortunately, fortunately, I don't know what the captain commands?" ”
"Now there is turmoil in the city, the army of the HRE Kingdom has invaded, we suspect that there are rebels and the HRE Kingdom colluding, so we are patrolling around, why are there so many of you here?" Leopold looked at Minos coldly.
"It's hard work captain and brothers, but we're okay here, although there are some short-sighted Shinra people who came to make trouble, but we also sent them away. As for the people here, captain, you also know that we are here in the medical hall, and naturally all the wounded and sick are taken in! Minos was extremely disdainful of the guards in front of him who killed him, but he still did a good job on the surface.
"We're going to go in and check and see if there's anyone suspicious!" Leopold said as he headed out into the courtyard.
Minos didn't get out of the way, and a smile appeared on his face: "Captain Leopold, there are a lot of female dependents inside, it's not convenient, it's better to write a letter of guarantee below to ensure that I won't have any problems here, if something happens, how about I go to see the governor myself?" ”
In normal times, Minos's guarantee is absolutely valid, but now it doesn't, it's a mess, and the guarantee is a joke. What's more, Leopold received an order that any gathering area of more than fifty people must be controlled, and if the other party makes any abnormal move, he will be killed immediately.
This is a superficial order, and the subtext of this order is actually - when you see a lot of people, you will find fault, and then find a way to kill the other party.
Suyat's power has long been soaked into every corner of the Metropolitan Guard, and basically all the officers above the middle level are Suyat's people, so even if those soldiers under his command don't know what happened, it still won't affect the progress of Suyat's plan.
"Your guarantee? Who do you think you are? Leopold looked at Minos disdainfully, and stretched out his hand to pull the other person away: "Get out of the way, or I'll kill you right now." Let's see if the Governor will call the shots for you, or will he give you the name of a rebel? ”
This is already a bit of a brazen threat.
But Minos didn't let him, he, like Leopold, was a silver level seven. If he goes head-to-head, his chances of winning are even higher, after all, in the case of the same level, a tower of more than two meters like Minos is very advantageous.
"Minos, you have to think about it. Do you dare to disobey military orders? Leopold grimaced.
"Disobey military orders? Is your order to kill us all? "Minos has been very aggrieved during this period of time, and he is about to take it anymore at this time.
"What do you mean?" Leopold asked.
"Don't you know what I mean? Who doesn't know what our Shangxiang branch has done and what it has done in Anduma over the years? Who isn't Xiao? The people of Anduma who do not know me Minos a spit and a nail? Rebels? What is Rebel? If you have a mouth, anyone will be a rebel. Minos also turned cold and looked at Leopold: "I still say the same thing, there are no rebels in the infirmary at all, only a group of Anduma people who have not received due protection and are injured and suffering!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the Metropolitan Guard warriors behind Leopold, "I wonder how many of the brothers here know what they're doing?" I can tell you that the top brass of the Metropolitan Guard is systematically massacring the people of Anduma. How many of your brothers have family members in Anduma? How many people were born in Anduma. Growing up in Anduma? How many people have sworn to protect Anduma with their lives when they entered the Metropolitan Guard? ”
"But do you know what you're doing now? Do you think you really killed the rebels? How did the fleet of the HRE Kingdom appear in Anduma? There are so many sentry posts along the river, do you think that without the covert operation of the Duwei Mansion, it is possible for them to come to Anduma and be discovered? Look at the fire all over the city, think about the so-called rebels you killed, do you know what you're doing? ”
Minos has been cleared up. At first, he still wanted to make compromises, but the nature of the desert people made it impossible for him to do this, and Leopold actually succeeded, and he succeeded in provoking Minos's anger, but he also failed because he gave Minos a chance to speak.
The Metropolitan Guard army is 100,000 strong. There are 50,000 people left behind in Anduma, and it is impossible for all of these 50,000 people to be Suat's subordinates, and even if they are, not everyone is so crazy. Minos was right, most of the Metropolitan Guards recruited people in Anduma, and many of these Metropolitan Guards soldiers were Andumaans.
How many people will really raise a butcher's knife at their hometown people in frenzy? How many people would be willing to set foot in their homes?
At least some of the thousand warriors behind Leopold were unwilling.
A person dressed as a captain suddenly left the team, looked at Leopold and said, "Captain." Are the people we just killed really rebels? ”
Leopold is a soldier, not a politician, he can be cold-blooded and ruthless, but he can't be shameless. What's more important is that his method of provoking Minos was wrong, and what should not be that he gave Minos a chance to speak.
"Jeffrey, do you know who you're talking to?" Leopold said coldly.
"I know who I'm speaking for!" Jeffrey is surprisingly tough. The desert people are tough, as long as they feel that they are in charge, let alone a captain, even the Grand Governor Suat, and the Governor Amor they dare to contradict it.
"Presumptuous. Minos just said a word and you believed it? Don't you have a brain? Leopold was indeed a man of few words, and he gave Jeffrey a backhand slap and forced him to pull Jeffrey down.
This is also a desert person, in the face of the doubts of his subordinates, he can do his best not to speak.
In normal times, Leopold was not at fault for doing this, because the desert people did it. According to the "normal situation", at this time, Jeffrey will either give in or fight with Leoper, but either way, the matter will eventually be resolved, and both sides generally do not hold a grudge against each other.
This is the case with desert people, who can move their hands much faster than they can use their mouths and brains.
So Leopold used to give Jeffrey a heavy slap in the face, but he forgot that it was a very moment.
Brush, Jeffrey's knife was drawn: "Leopold, explain to me clearly, who we killed just now?" And why did the eighth team go to the fourth district? His family lives in the 4th arrondissement.
The army fights with fists, as long as you use fists, it is just fighting, but once the knife is drawn, the meaning is completely different.
"Jeffrey, you want to rebel?" Leopold screamed, and all the soldiers behind him drew their weapons.
A few people from Jeffrey's side also came, but they didn't do it immediately, but persuaded Jeffrey: "Jeffrey, you have to think clearly, if you continue, he will cut you for nothing!" ”
"I just want to know how my family is doing? Don't you want to know? I thought it was a little strange just now, why did we have to disrupt and reorganize the team before we set off, originally I thought that there were really rebels mixed into the army, and this arrangement was to avoid being used by the rebels, but now that I think about it, the area that each of our reorganized thousand-man team is responsible for is all the area where our family is not there. Is this a coincidence? "Jeffrey has only been married for less than a month, and his wife at home is very affectionate, so he is always worried about it, and he had doubts when he acted before, but now the thoughts in his mind are clearer.
It was because of the clarity that he felt fear and anger.
In fact, there are many people who have the same thoughts as him, but the military discipline of the Duwei army is strict, and they are used to obeying orders, and more importantly, they never thought that the higher authorities would give such a frenzied order, so they had doubts, but they did not doubt it. Now that they are awakened by Jeffrey, of course they also realize that something is wrong.
"I say it again, return to your position immediately, and if there is another word that confuses the hearts of the army, I will not spare it!" Leopold snapped.
He may be a good soldier, but he is really not a qualified officer, or he himself has a shame in his heart, but he has no choice but to follow orders, which is why he seems so clumsy at this time.
Leopold's words not only did not suppress Jeffrey and the others, but made more soldiers dissatisfied, shouting for an explanation, otherwise they would have to go back to their homes to see the situation.
"I see which of you dares to move!" Leopold raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately moved.
Die-hard Leopold was still in the majority, and the Metropolitan Guard made up half Andumans and non-Andumans, and after deliberately disrupting the reorganization of the army, there were more non-Andumans than Andumans in every thousand-man team.
So there are more people who listen to Leopold.
A team of 1,000 people immediately divided into two waves, almost four or six points, and the two sides confronted each other.
"Jeffrey, you have to understand what the hell you're doing? This is in the army, not in your home, you can come when you want, you can go when you want. You want to go home, and when the mission is done, you can stay at home for as long as you want! Now get me back to your place! Leopold snapped loudly.
"When the mission is complete, will I still have a home? Leopold, you've been working together for years, can't you even give me a word of truth? Jeffrey smiled sadly and stared at Leopold.
Leoper didn't speak, and even his eyes took his eyes off Jeffrey's body slightly.
I feel ashamed.
Shout!
Suddenly, a string sounded.
"Be careful!"
Another arrow flew and shot the first one away.
But a soldier behind Leopold suddenly stepped forward and stabbed him in the heart.
"We've got it, kill them!" (To be continued.) )
