The more knowledge a person has, the easier it is for him to acquire new knowledge.

- Elfried Jelinek (Austrian female writer, recognized as one of the most important writers in Central Europe)

Auchinleck, Paresi, Cunningham and other generals, under Montgomery's command, quickly took control of the old and new armies, and only then did Montgomery call Mountbatten and Luke to him.

In front of countless refugees and soldiers of the two armies, Montgomery commanded Mountbatten with his head held high in a businesslike manner: "Mountbatten, tell me what you know about the cause and effect of this matter. ”

"No!"

Mountbatten, who received the order, sorted out his thoughts a little before reporting truthfully: "When I was patrolling the city wall at night, I heard a loud noise and quarrel in the base, so I came here with fifty personal guards, and then learned that the refugees here were secretly hiding food. ”

At this point, Mountbatten paused and looked his eyes at the captain of the patrol veterans beside him, and with Montgomery and the generals in charge, the captain naturally did not dare to lie, and he immediately told the public about the secret report that the Lukes were secretly hiding food.

After receiving the patrol leader's corroboration, Mountbatten continued without saying anything he had finished: "I asked the head of the group to hand over their private food, but they refused, and in desperation, I ordered my own soldiers to come forward and forcibly collect it. ”

"Luke, right?" Montgomery did not question Mountbatten's report, and from Luke's reaction, he could also see that Mountbatten's words were not mixed with lies, but he still asked Luke symbolically: "Do you agree with what General Mountbatten said?"

"Sir, General Mountbatten's words are true, but I disagree with his statement. Luke, who insisted that he had done nothing wrong, retorted directly: "If it weren't for his orders, how could we fight with your guards?"

"Fart!" Hearing Luke say this, before Mountbatten could open his mouth to refute it, the patrol leader was furious and said: "General Mountbatten just ordered to take away the food, and you insisted on blocking us! Besides, the first to die in battle was our people!"

Referring to the first guard to be killed, Luke, who knew that he was wrong, did not show cowardice, but shifted the focus and said: "Should we let you be beaten and not fight back? It was you who injured our people first, and then we rose up to resist!"

Luke's constant arguments with the patrol leader, coupled with Mountba's occasional remarks, made a silent Montgomery roughly sort out the causes and consequences of the conflict, and in the final analysis, it was the 'coincidental' food that provoked the goods.

The argument that the public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified has no practical value, and it is impossible to recover the losses caused by this conflict; but the sudden appearance of this batch of grain made Montgomery smell the slightest smell of conspiracy.

The Storm Base is the lair of the Storm Thieves, and this is a critical moment of food shortage, how can there be so-called forgotten food in the base? What is even more coincidental is that the person who discovered this batch of food happened to be the Luke group, and Luke's eldest son was the squadron leader of the New Army.

A coincidence may really be a coincidence, but it is not a pure accident that several seemingly unremarkable coincidences are linked;

Mountbatten and the patrol captain were both old men of the Wind Thieves, and only one word from Montgomery could make them shut their mouths in peace, but Luke, whose face was full of righteous indignation, Montgomery had to lower his posture and say:

"Mr. Luke, there is no point in holding this conflict into who is right and who is wrong; Don't you think this grain is too strange?"

"Strange?" Luke, who was not a stupid man, was instantly clearer at Montgomery's point, and although he did not doubt Lu Jie, who had saved his life, he was a little suspicious of Lu Jie's cousin.

No matter what Luke thought in his heart, he still defended his humanity on the surface: "Chief, the first person to find this batch of grain is my brother Lu Jie's separated cousin; ”

"Well, then please ask Mr. Luke to bring Mr. Luke and his cousin, I have something to ask them. Montgomery, who felt like he had found the key to it, did not refuse Luke's suggestion, but instead asked to meet Luke on the spot.

The ghost of the battlefield, who was watching from the crowd under the alias Lu Jie, instinctively wanted to run away when he saw that he was about to be taken to Montgomery, but as soon as he took two steps back, he was stopped by Adrien, who was also secretly observing the situation.

Standing in the crowd, Adrien whispered to Luger in an almost inaudible voice: "This is a rare opportunity, if the time is right, I will personally attack Montgomery, and you will take the opportunity to provoke their conflict again." ”

After saying this, Adrien did not wait for Lu Jie's reply, but stood in another position, and when he looked up again, Luke, with a guilty face, had already strode in front of Lu Jie.

"Brother, the Montgomery chief wants to know how this grain was found, so he has some questions for you and your cousin to ask in person, but don't worry, as long as the eldest brother is still here, no one can bully you!"

In the face of Luke's promise, Lu Jie just smiled slightly, and walked out of the crowd with Adrien.

Looking at Lujay and Adrien, who Luke brought over, Montgomery knew that Lujay was one of the real power figures in Luke's group, but he vaguely felt that Adrien behind him made him even more uneasy, and even made him feel a palpitation.

"Lu Jie, your cousin......"

"Bang!"

As soon as Montgomery, who barely squeezed out a smile on his face, spoke, Adrien, who had seen the right time, instantly took out a dagger from the spatial ring and stabbed the unsuspecting Montgomery in the heart.

Undrien, who had no intention of dying together, leaned slightly to the right and used his left shoulder to catch Montgomery's fist, and at the same time, his dagger was also inserted into Montgomery's body, but instead of the intended heart, it was a displaced shoulder.

"Enemy attack!Protect the leader!!"

When the blood from Montgomery's shoulder splashed on Mountbatten's face, Mountbatten reacted to the shocked scene, and Mountbatten's heavy shouting woke up the equally shocked guards and veterans nearby, who quickly surrounded Adamrien.

Without the slightest hesitation, Adrien, who missed the blow, leaped into the crowd not far away, and Luke and Luger, who remained in place, became the target of the angry guards and veterans.

Montgomery, who was wounded in the shoulder, did not stop his own guard's attack on Luke and Lujay, because he did not think that the two men in front of him had nothing to do with the assassination, but in this way, it caused another new round of conflict.

In the dark night when the sight was not good, Adrien's assassination of Montgomery could not be seen by the nearest people, and the onlookers and soldiers of the New Army fifty meters away could not see it at all, but all they could see was the scene where Mountbatten ordered the siege of Luke again!
