Chapter 356: Bad Situation
,
)
John's standing figure stood proudly with a shock. 「」
This is not that Lin An's cold tone has affected him, what can make a person who sees death as his home be shaken before death is nothing more than the belief he has adhered to all his life.
Lin An is right, Captain Williams concealed the secret order and let John give the secret order after everyone went deep into the ice valley, which is undoubtedly a kind of deception and prelude, especially when the price is very likely to be everyone's "life", this kind of deception is extremely unbearable.

He and the other guards had an obligation to give their lives on orders because of their kindness as retainers of the Moji family.
But what about the others?
They are clearly not obligated to die for the Moji family.
Most of them were not over thirty years old, and they had extremely bright futures and futures, and even if Merlin perished in an instant, they would not be able to continue their prosperous lives—but it was such a group of people who were almost sent to death by him in a flash.
"If there is anything I am thankful about about my death, it is that I do not need to bear the sins of these six innocent lives and go to eternal sleep." John muttered.
Lin An raised his eyebrows slightly.
She noticed that John was talking about six "sex" lives instead of fifteen, which meant that even though he valued Tong Ze's life more than his own, the concept of loyalty to the death was still ingrained in his heart—
There are many things in the world that are more important than life, but the man in front of him who abides by the rules of chivalry is obviously not the kind of person who is foolish and loyal, so this can only say one thing:
This man values the ideals and principles of his heart more than his own life!
Lin An had a complicated feeling in his heart, and it was difficult to say that he admired or hated John-
Yes, there are usually only two positions and perceptions of people who practice their beliefs with their lives:
Either the ultimate admiration or the extreme hatred.
Lin An suddenly felt a sense of unwarranted irritability in his heart, and suddenly wanted to destroy the belief of the person in front of him who still adhered to it at the last moment of his life and trampled it under his feet.
But she quickly noticed her psychological fluctuations and suppressed them, knowing that this was a negative energy invasion, and unconsciously provoked evil thoughts in her heart. 「」
However, in the blink of an eye, Lin An's heart moved slightly, and he asked again:
"If you were given a choice, would you still accept this order?" 138. Reading the book does not skip words.
John didn't hesitate: "Absolutely. ”
"You have exemplified the ultimate in your loyalty to your lord, but what about your loyalty to your companions?" Lin An said in a light tone, "Or is it that only the loyalty that can bring you a position of power is what you really abide by?" ”
But this time Lin An's verbal offensive did not make John 'sex', he coughed a few times, closed his eyes silently, and did not mean to defend Lin An. Otherworldly Survival Code 356 Crossing the Novel Bar SJ131
Lin An could see what he meant from his movements:
He didn't bother to explain his actions, and Lin An's actions were only seen by him as a kind of humiliation of a hunter to his prey before he died—as a person who had been deceived and deceived by him, Lin An's move was not unexpected by him.
The dialogue fell into a temporary silence because of the non-cooperation of one side.
Sidney was on the sidelines, and at the same time calmly watched, and did not interfere with the conversation between the two, although in his opinion, it was unnecessary to talk to Johnn in this environment, he only needed a mental torture to naturally make this man confide the truth, but he knew that Lin An had always done things for a purpose, so he did not interfere silently. 「」
"Let me guess what your allegiance has promised you—a title, an estate, or the future of your descendants?"
Lin An didn't seem to feel cold and continued, his soft tone containing incomparable malice, "Maybe after I go back, I should discuss this issue with your Tongze, who was also deceived." ”
"Zaixia's parents died young, and he didn't have close relatives to give birth, so he had no wives and children," said John's eyes calmly, "from the very beginning of accepting this task, Zaixia has never had the luck of leaving this ice valley alive." ”
It's not that he couldn't stand Lin An's provocation and answered, but because Lin An's words revealed that he wanted to take this topic back and announce it to his subordinates.
The tempers of his men were all too clear to Johanham, just as they knew that he would never betray them for the sake of so-called knighthood.
But in this way, they are afraid that they will retort angrily because he is still insulted and famous after his death, but in the current situation, those of his subordinates can only rely on Lin An to leave alive, because it is not a good thing for his subordinates to conflict with Lin An because of the reputation of a dead man.
Therefore, he simply satisfied Lin An's intention to play with her prey, and let her take this breath, so as not to anger his companions later and cause them to encounter accidents. 「」
What he didn't see was that in the darkness, the corners of Lin An's mouth slowly pulled up.
"So, what are you asking for?"
She continued, "If it's not knighthood money, is the status of the Moji family important enough in your mind to cost you your brother and your own life?"
Oh, there is no love without a reason, even if you are faithful, but your actions are far beyond the requirements of the rights and obligations between your retainers and the sovereign. ”
"I am a Merlin, and how can I spare my humble body when those whom I have allegiance to are at the cost of their lives, and who are the forerunners and examples of my faithfulness?"
John closed his eyes and said, his tone not heavy, but the words were sonorous.
Lin An's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Sidney, and he heard the ominous meaning from John's words.
Realizing that the situation of the battle might be worse than she had originally expected, Lin An suddenly lost a lot of superfluous interest and focused instead on listening to the inside of the war.
"There are always ways and reasons for the superior to want the inferior to die." What you mean by are the most valuable and the least valuable—how many kings have really fulfilled their promises to the meritorious throughout the ages? How many people are there who really took the lead and died in battle? ”
Lin Antan asked, "When you enter eternal sleep, then the qiē that you have given and received while you are alive, whether it is fame or cigna, will never know whether they will continue to shine." ”
Her words were light, but they were more damning than her previous malicious speculations about John, because the object of her malicious speculation was the object of John's allegiance. Otherworldly Survival Code 356 Crossing the Novel Bar SJ131
"I don't know if the lord to whom I am loyal is the kind of superior you say—"
John's answer was cold, but he still had his senses, and tried not to anger Lin An as much as possible, and such a modified answer proved that he already had a firm answer in his heart, whether it was for his loyalists or his own beliefs, he was extremely firm,
"But when my allegiants were sacrificed even my closest relatives, I no longer had the position to ask my allegiants for promises, but to die."
Lin An didn't know what he meant at first, and frowned:
Kyle Keys ...... No, it's Firth! Could it be that Firth, he ...... It's also Master Williams—"
Lin An suddenly figured it out and was shocked.
"You are worthy of being a person who makes good use of wisdom, and you have guessed the truth from just one sentence in the next sentence, and even if Leo-sama told the truth in person, it took a lot of repetition to accept this fact that is not very dishonorable to adults——"
John's color changed slightly, and he sighed, it was hard to say whether his sigh was for himself or for his allegiants at the moment when even life and death were on the line, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened,
"Yes, Lord Firth, the bastard son of your Excellency—I hereby ask you to keep this secret for me, lest I inadvertently make a mistake before I die, and cause unnecessary damage to the reputation of my loyalists."
It can be seen that he regrets it very much, but he didn't expect Lin An to deduce the truth from his obscure words without relying on the cause and effect at all.
You must know that Feith's identity, even if it is the Moggie family, is a secret that few people know, even John, who has been following the Williams Legion Commander all day, does not know when the adult has such an illegitimate child. It was only when Leo privately summoned him to tell him the truth and gave him a second secret mission, but it was difficult to accept it for a while.
But what Lin An cared about at this time was not whether the reputation of Captain Williams had suffered, but the severity of the war implied by the fact that John had revealed the true identity of the black-armored swordsman——
"Even if you lose your heart and go crazy, it seems too crazy to win a merit that is not stable at the cost of a biological bloodline, offending two divisions and a hidden inheritance...... So Fez's role here, is—"
There are two lifetimes of memory, when he was a princess and a daughter of darkness, it was more incredible than the Williams Legion Captain who used the lives of his parents and children to offset his grudges, and Lin An had also seen it, so there was no surprise.
So, in a blink of an eye, Lin An realized the preset sacrificial status of Feith in this line of work-
Tiger poison does not eat children, even if it is an undishonorable illegitimate child, Captain Williams is not the kind of person who is crazy and vicious enough to gamble on the "sex" of his son to win the future of the family in the rumors known to Lin An:
This is also the difference between the new aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy.
Traditional nobles pay more attention to the prosperity and continuation of the bloodline, and a capable son may not be more valuable than a heavy feat, because the traditional nobles continue to inherit the time and history, so that they have more patience and confidence to wait for the potential to be turned into real value - if the Moji family is a new family in the magic principality, Lin An may not have such confidence in his patience and "temperament".
As the supreme commander of this reinforcement, Commander Williams had a habit of collecting information in his previous life, and of course Lin An had collected information about his background and even his close confidants-
But now, Lin Anning is willing to make a mistake in his own data collection, and the Williams Legion Captain is not from the traditional nobility of Merlin, but from an emerging aristocratic family:
When Captain Williams faced a situation that could only make him choose to pledge his own lives as collateral, it was enough to show that the urgency of the war he was facing had reached the point where it could not be alleviated by the second option!
- No matter what kind of quarrel Lin An and the others had with Captain Williams in private over this mission, Lin An never wanted Captain Williams to be defeated. Because in the big picture, they are always on the same side, and if Captain Williams loses the battle, then things may go to a bad situation that she can't predict!
