Chapter 172: Three Tombstones
Zimol has expressed his heart like this, what else can Qin Mo say.
I can only hope that Solomon will not order an attack for the sake of Qin Mo who is also in the vanguard army...
As he spoke, the troops had crossed the security line set by Solomon and continued their advance towards the city of Telavi.
Qin Mo had no choice but to close his eyes and pray silently.
With his strength, with 'Lotus' and 'Rebellion', it is not difficult to survive the fire of conventional weapons, but if he can, he still hopes for less bloodshed.
What's more, he also had to protect Saladin.
Well, Zimmer is also a good guy who can protect it.
Three minutes passed, and nothing happened, but as the troops went deeper, who knows how long Solomon would be able to endure it.
Unexpectedly, what turned the situation around were three ordinary stones.
"Stop!"
At the sound of Zimmer's order, the entire force stopped.
By this time, the vanguard had crossed the security line for five kilometers.
On the sand dunes ahead, there are three stones.
Qin Mo looked left and right, only to find that this was the place where the refugees camped last night.
He knew it all too well, and not so long ago it was a hell of blood and fire, littered with the corpses of refugees, Protectors, and Coalition bandits.
Now that the bodies have been buried, the smell of blood has cleared away in the wind, and the only evidence of last night's tragedy is the three stones standing on top of the small sand dune.
Qin Mo asked, "Those three stones are..."
Saladin's heart moved, and he hurriedly said loudly: "That's what I gave to the dead refugees, the Protectors, and the Alliance... The tombstone of the robber. ”
He made a point of emphasizing that the Confederates were bandits, in order to explain to Zimmer that they had killed 50,000 Protectors last night purely in self-defense.
Coalition forces often crossed David's borders to sack David's villages, a brutal act that was internationally condemned but seen as a heroic act by many of its own people.
In order to protect their reputation, they have never ransacked the villagers of their own country, but have to do it with private armed forces and local robbers, and then get a piece of the pie.
And last night, the 50,000 hungry and crazy Alliance troops launched a massacre of 150,000 refugees who were also from the Alliance, completely breaking through the bottom line of soldiers, and it was not even the behavior that people should be.
Zimmer's face was cloudy, he didn't even rob the villages of the Kingdom of David, let alone refugees from his own country. He must be despisable for this kind of beastly behavior of the Alliance Army, but he doesn't know how much he disdains it.
After a moment of silence, Zimmer jumped off the jeep and walked towards the tombstone.
"You say... Let's get out of the car and follow to see if it won't be beaten into a hornet's nest, right? Qin Mo asked Saladin.
"Just try it."
Saladin jumped out of the car first, and Qin Mo hurriedly followed.
The two soon caught up with Zimmer, who was standing in front of the tombstone.
The three tombstones are all made of simple rocks that can be found everywhere, and the finished glyph stands on the sand dunes, with the refugees in the middle, and the guards and the allies on both sides, with some local characters engraved crookedly on them:
Refugees: 69,634
Protectors: 10334
Confederate Army: 49632
It couldn't be simpler, and in this desert where no one and no resources can only be done.
But that doesn't mean these three stones can't be shocking.
Those who know the meaning of these numbers will surely have in their minds images of tens of thousands of corpses lying at their feet, and then they will not be able to eat for three days.
Zimmer sighed lightly and said, "You guys are still saving face, and you didn't write the Union Army as a bandit." ”
Saladin shrugged his shoulders: "Dead are dead, why are you still guilty?" Wouldn't it be better to give them a chance to be new people in hell? ”
Zimmer was silent.
Qin Mo swept around, wanting to see if there was a tombstone nearby.
The tombstone of Chiaki Tejima.
Well... No.
It's also normal, Teshima Chiaki herself definitely doesn't want someone to come to give her fruit and suckling pig every once in a while.
"On behalf of the Union Army, I deeply repent to you for the actions of these scum in the army, and may you rest in peace."
Zimmer said in a deep voice to the tombstones of the refugees and the Protectors, and then knelt down on one knee.
Immediately afterwards, all the vanguard troops under the dunes fell to their knees.
There are silent words in his mouth, as if he is reciting scriptures.
After a while, Qin Mo suddenly realized that the vanguard troops were stopped by these three stones and did not advance further towards Telavi City.
What's more, Solomon did not give the order to attack, otherwise the missiles in the sky would have flown over a long time ago.
Exactly seven minutes later, Zimmer stood up and led the way back into the convoy.
"Stand by now!"
Qin Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you continue to move forward?" ”
Saladin looked at Qin Mo with a black line on his face.
Everyone Zimol disobeyed the order and stopped, and you still asked if you would let people step down.
Fortunately, Zimmer didn't mind, and said in a deep voice: "This sand dune should be piled up with corpses, right?" ”
Saladin hurriedly nodded: "Not only the sand dunes, but this area is full of corpses, which should have been covered with sand not long ago. ”
120,000 corpses, it's terrible to think about.
Qin Mo was glad that he didn't participate in the burial yesterday, otherwise he would definitely have a group of ghosts dreaming every night.
Zimmer knelt down again and touched the sand for a moment of silence, and then said softly: "According to custom, and out of respect for the dead, we will stop for half an hour, and if no new order comes, we will continue to move forward." ”
Zimmer must have taken advantage of this to delay a little time, and in the bottom line he was interested in Solomon... No, he still has a positive attitude towards the peace proposal of the prophet Qin Mo, and on the premise of not disobeying the order, he will try to help Qin Mo as much as possible.
Qin Mo suddenly felt that Solomon might know Zimor's character, so he deliberately let them come here and use this tombstone to move them.
If that's the case, he's really thoughtful.
The soldiers got out of the car one after another, and many of them lined up in an orderly manner to kneel down in front of the tombstone, and it was obvious that they felt guilty.
In fact, there is no need, Qin Mo believes that if they were stationed in Tel Ville last night, no matter how hungry they were, they would not come out to slaughter the refugees.
Time passed like this, minute by minute, short and long.
It wasn't until Zimmer ordered everyone to get in the car and prepare to leave that the new order from the top of the Union Army arrived.
"Hello? Understood, understood, yes! ”
After a few short words, Zimmer hung up the phone, and then said what Qin Mo expected most.
"The coalition forces have officially decided to accept your peace proposal, according to the order, I and all follow-up troops will retreat to camp outside the twenty-kilometer security line, you, as the initiator of the peace agreement, please draw up a specific plan as soon as possible, and then inform us to go to Tel Vi City to negotiate."
Zimmer asked his subordinates to drive Qin Mo's jeep over, and took the initiative to reach out to Qin Mo.
"I can see that you are a good boy with a big heart and no scheming, and with these two qualities, you are worthy of the name of prophet, and I wish you all the best."
That was tantamount to taking a position that he hoped to bring about such a peace agreement.
Then, Qin Mo started Fan Er again.
"You say... How to draw up this plan? ”
Zimmer's eyes widened, and it took a moment for him to laugh heartily for the first time.
"Hahahaha, idiot, the dignified prophet is actually an idiot."
Saladin on the side also rolled his eyes.
Qi Moer hugged Qin Mo away from the others, and then said in a low voice, "How can you ask me about this kind of thing?" You are the initiator of the peace agreement, and when you go back, remember not to be foolish enough to ask Solomon. ”
After a pause, he added: "Balance interests, so that both sides can step down, hehe, let me remind you first, no one has done this for thousands of years." ”
