Chapter 28: The Doctrine of the Aristocrats

What is Aristocrat? Aristocracy is a special being who is above ordinary law! In those days, nobles killed commoners for nothing more than a few gold coins, but if a commoner killed a nobleman, no matter how justified his reasons, he faced not only a capital crime, but also a drag on his family. And this is also a reason for the rebels to rebel against the empire, but when this kind of thing happens among the rebels, the true colors of some people are torn apart nakedly.

—The Autobiography of Terry, Vol. 8

The gunshots only made the barracks tense for a moment, but the next news caused the entire barracks to underflow, and a trial meeting without the presence of the defendant and the plaintiff was being held in the "crowd of emotions".

"Death penalty, must be executed, a little second lieutenant, or a soldier who has just surrendered from the Empire. To dare to be so bold and shoot a nobleman for no reason, or a noble earl, such an act is simply an unforgivable sin, an unforgivable sin. ”

In the makeshift conference hall of Mingguang Castle, the white-haired Marquis of Dodgers roared angrily, this was the first time in the marquis's life.

"Marquis of Dodgeras is right, that damned ensign should have been shot, no, he should have been exposed, his actions were nothing more than a provocation to the authority of the General Staff."

As soon as the Marquis of Dorkellas finished speaking, the Marquis of Leas, who was standing beside him, also echoed.

"Major General, look at it, that is your most important soldier, the reason why he has such a domineering behavior today is completely your connivance, and you should also be responsible for it."

"Major General, although we all know that you love soldiers like children, if you don't give us an explanation today, I don't think there is any need for our cooperation to continue."

All of a sudden, the entire conference room was boiling, almost all of them were the nobles in the staff house.

And the target of their angry voices is none other than Terry, who killed the Earl in anger.

Of course, at this moment, Terry has been temporarily disarmed and imprisoned in the confinement room of the camp, and the target of these nobles is naturally towards Major General Oprah.

Major General Oprah sat quietly in his place, his hands crossed on his forehead without saying a word.

Why did Terry shoot? What did that count do to make Terry so insane? These major generals are very clear, and this is exactly the case, so the major generals have a headache at the moment.

The virtues of these nobles are known to the major general better than anyone else, but at this moment he has a hard time speaking, if he follows the advice of these nobles and immediately shoots Terry, then of course these nobles will not have any more opinions.

However, Major General Oprah really didn't want to do this, after all, although Terry directly killed the earl who intended to rape women without trial, but there was a reason for the incident, and such behavior could only be regarded as a violation of military discipline. If the Major General directly ordered Terry's execution, it would definitely cause an uproar in the army.

However, if the major general disobeys the will of these nobles today, it means that the relationship with these nobles will be completely severed, and it will be difficult to return to the south of the empire in the future.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, even if Major General Oprah is experienced, at this time, his head is a mess.

Of course, the Major General has always taken special care of Terry, and there is another reason that people don't know, and this reason makes the Major General reluctant to do anything to Terry.

But the reason for this is a secret that Major General Oplar knows alone, and if this secret is revealed, not only these nobles, but also the entire empire and even the whole world will go crazy for it!

"Major General, what are you still hesitating about, do you know the special identity of this little soldier?"

Prisius, who had been sitting in the conference room and had not been heckling with the other nobles, spoke at this time.

And he didn't he's heckling with everyone, not that he's on the side of Terry or Major General, but he's waiting, waiting for the best opportunity to make a move.

At this time, the major general ignored the coaxing of others, but kept thinking there, seemingly trying to find a way to protect the annoying little soldier. When Prisius saw that the major general was about to speak, he immediately stood up and directly blocked the major general's mouth with a side-eyed sentence.

"I think that soldier named Terry is actually a spy sent by the Empire."

Prisius' words caused an uproar in the conference room! If this is what Prisius says, then it is not as simple as deliberately hurting the Count.

"Count Prisius, can you be held accountable for your words, and if there is no evidence, what will be the consequences of your slander, you don't need me to remind you."

Major General Oprah didn't expect Prisius to be so suspicious, but he knew that if he didn't respond at this time and continued to try to protect Terry, it was likely to make things worse. It's a pity that the warning of the major general, Prisius did not pay attention.

"Proof, what more evidence is needed for this? Let's think about it, don't say that the origin of this Terry is mysterious, just say that the reason he put forward for the so-called Night Pearl to harm human health, think about how ridiculous it is, I think the real purpose of what he did was to prevent us from obtaining funds for development."

"And this shameless use of a shameless inferior woman to openly kill a dignified earl, this thing is no accident, this guy is definitely deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between our staff and the army."

"And Major General Opral, you have always protected this imperial soldier of unknown origin everywhere, for what reason, what secrets are there between you and him, can I answer these questions directly with Major General."

Prisius's sentence by word, word by word, all pressed the edge, directly hitting Major General Oprah, and did not give Major General a chance to talk back, which made the atmosphere in the entire conference room tense for a while.

Prisius's aggressiveness was indeed a surprise to the major general, but there was really no way for the major general to explain these problems, especially when the major general had a secret in his heart.

"Prisius, you have gone too far, how can you suspect Major General Oplar, if he intends to surrender to the Empire, how can we people still live."

At this moment, the Marquis of Dodgeras, who was originally the most angry, stood up as a peacemaker, and first pretended to be angry and accused Prisius, and then turned his head and said to the major general who wanted to stop talking:

"Major General, we all believe in your loyalty to the cause of the revolution. But today's hateful ensign, no matter what his identity is, he must die, this is our final bottom line, I hope the major general can understand. ”

The Marquis of Dodgeras seems to be defending the Major General, but in fact he is just trying to make an ultimatum, and he is worthy of being a cunning guy.

"Well, I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

Seeing that there was really no room for maneuver, Major General Oprah had no choice but to compromise, but after saying this, he still looked around at everyone with unwilling eyes, and then flicked his sleeves and left the conference room.

So with the figure of the major general leaving angrily, this aggressive meeting ended, but the things brought about by it did not end so simply, because a pair of sinful hands had slowly stretched out to the barracks, and Terry's matter was only a beginning, not the end, and a battle that could not see the smoke of gunpowder began.
