Chapter 435: A Cruel Answer

Arthur followed William into the forest, only to see that the forest was a mess, with fallen trees and dead Norwedds crushing underneath.

The ground was also covered with the corpses of the Norwids, all of them in different postures, some of them still running as they had been in life, and fell to the ground silently.

And more of it, it turned into pitch-black coke, curled up by the fire, and thrown on the ground at will, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue.

More than 20,000 people were buried in this sea of fire, almost without bones, this is a horrific and cruel torture to force the corpses, the charred and dehydrated corpses of the Norweed people lie on the ground, as if to tell the story of their lives.

Arthur smelled the smell of meat in the air, and couldn't help retching a little, although he had killed a few people over the years, but it was all a dignified battle, a real knife and a real gun.

How can it be like now, with a raging flame, directly say that the enemy is burned to death.

The aroma of roasted meat seemed tempting to many animals or unsuspecting people, but for Arthur it caused a twitch in his stomach.

In the end, he was still a teenager, desperately endured, covering his mouth, but in the end he still didn't hold back and spit out.

He vomited heartbreakingly, as if he were about to vomit his entire stomach, and in between vomiting he breathed through his nose, but the smell of roast meat entered his nose again.

The cycle went on and on, and Arthur almost vomited his entire stomach, and now he had no food in his stomach at all, and all he vomited was stomach acid.

William turned to look at Arthur, then turned away, thinking to himself, "After all, he is still a young man, no matter how outstanding his performance is, he will inevitably have the heart of a young man!" ”

William turned to King Leonac and said, "Forgive me for the offense of this knight, he is still a teenager and has never seen such a scene, I hope you will forgive him for being disrespectful to you!" ”

Of course, King Leonac would not be held accountable for this trivial matter, in fact, he was not comfortable watching such a scene, but because of his identity, he still overcame the discomfort in his heart.

William continued to talk and laugh with King Leonac, and this hearty battle left the Holy War unhindered, so everyone was in a very happy mood.

There is only one person to except, and that is William's dearest vassal, the young king of the Kingdom of Tskema, Hechard.

He originally thought that this mission was very difficult, so he recommended William to carry it out, in the hope that William could lose most of his strength in the forest, and then he could regain his majesty.

After all, he is still a child, and he has no ability to analyze the pros and cons at all, and he does not think about how to continue to stabilize his throne after the defeat of William, the royalist, not to mention that the climate has been completed and the infrastructure has been completed, and Denlenburg will not be afraid of this loss.

It is true that William's total annihilation would be a very high price, but as long as he did not die, he could immediately re-establish such an elite force within three months after returning to Denlenburg.

Although it will take a long time for special units such as the Knights, Heavy Infantry, and the Golden Lion Guard, it is still not difficult to rebuild with William's huge financial resources.

King Herchard was still a child, after all, and he did not know how powerful William really was.

After Arthur vomited, he stood up on the ground with some weakness, and he couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the dead and wounded, and the brutal death.

"What is this war for?"

"Isn't this a holy war? Isn't this a fight for the Holy Father? Does the Holy Father want to see his people do such cruel and inhuman things for themselves? Is this the holy war of justice? ”

His soul was tormented, and he had thought that this holy war was really a battle for the Holy Father, a battle to protect the Holy Brothers from infringement, a battle to bathe the Norweed people in the light of the Holy Father.

Although the true meaning of the holy war is tacitly understood among all the nobility of the holy war, Arthur still retains some illusions and has a kind of worship for the holy war.

But only now did he really wake up from his illusions.

"Is this for the sake of the Holy Brothers from being violated? Is it possible to commit such a brutal massacre of these innocent soldiers? ”

Arthur wanted to roar, he had never been taught to be so dark, Merlin wanted his three views to be normal, so he taught him something more positive.

He kept his anger in his heart, but he couldn't hide it, and the whine came out of his throat intermittently, attracting William's attention.

"Sir Arthur! Are you okay? ”

William greeted, it was not good for this kind of thing to happen in front of so many nobles.

He also reminded Arthur to go down immediately if he was unwell.

But Arthur stood up straight, choked back from the shattering of his illusions, and slowly walked to William's side.

William couldn't help frowning as he looked at Arthur who was getting closer, he looked at King Leonac and Archbishop Baringsinn, as well as the other nobles, and said with some anger: "Arthur, what are you doing?" ”

"Huh...... What am I doing? I'm going to ask you! I'm going to ask you something! ”

William saw that Arthur's mood was not very stable, so he said: "If there is anything to talk about when you go back, you go back and rest first!" ”

"I don't need a break!" Arthur shouted, "Tell me! Why is this happening! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the devastated battlefield.

"Isn't this a holy war? Isn't this a holy war fought for the Holy Father? Why did this terrible thing happen, and why? ”

"Obviously, they are just innocent soldiers!"

Arthur said, tears streaming from his eyes.

William looked at Arthur like this, but his heart was not so angry, he still admired Arthur, so he still wanted to teach him.

"Is there any difference between dying like this and dying on the battlefield? They all died in battle! ”

"Your emotions are so intense because they are too ugly to die, but is this any different from dying on the battlefield? They are enemies! Obstruct the enemy before us! ”

"If we don't pass here, the jihad will fail! If the jihad fails, we will face a full-scale counteroffensive from the enemy! But there will be more than that, the Father's people will groan powerlessly under the tyranny of the Norwids, countless children will die miserably, women will be humiliated, and men will be mercilessly slaughtered! ”

"Now, do you still think they're innocent? In my eyes there are only enemies and friends, only living enemies and dead enemies, only dead enemies can reassure me, and I don't care how they died! ”

William ignored the gazes of the other nobles, stared at Arthur, and said word by word.
