Chapter 35: For Evil
Not a single one is left.
This was an order from the regimental headquarters.
Since there was only a map of the contact point and no spy list, the regimental headquarters could only give an order to kill without leaving behind with the idea of killing the wrong one.
This command means:
Anyone who appears at the United Kingdom's spy contact point during the purge is killed by both commoners and nobles.
What to do if you kill a nobleman by mistake?
According to the Special Operations Regulations, such actions may take the form of first sentence and later evidence.
In other words, you are all dead, I fabricate a piece of evidence out of thin air, and there are still people who dare to stand up for you, the army is not something that anyone can provoke if they want to, and the declining nobles are not even qualified to protest to the army.
Of course, Imperial soldiers are not among them.
If there happened to be an Imperial soldier in the contact point, then it was necessary to transfer it to a military court for a verdict, which was a well-known unspoken rule, and the regimental headquarters did not specify otherwise.
The deputy company commander, of course, understood the meaning of this order.
But these are all children about ten years old, how can he, who has become a father, kill these immature lives, as an imperial soldier, shouldn't he protect the territory and defend the weak?
Although there is indeed evidence that some of the little ones are spying.
But this does not mean that every child is engaged in espionage, and in order to kill a few spies, the lives of 90 children have to be buried, is this really an order that should be given by a human being? Does the person who gave this order still have the slightest mercy that a human being, or is he not a human at all?
The deputy company commander looked at Vega.
He stretched out his trembling hand and slowly stretched out the spear in Vega's hand, the process slowing down to the extreme, but finally taking the cold standard spear.
The spear weighed only a few kilograms.
In his usual training, he was able to dance this spear with a tiger, and he could even easily kill enemy soldiers with his spear during border patrol missions, but at this moment he felt that this spear was extremely heavy.
Raise the spear with difficulty.
His countenance was close to distortion.
"It's an order, it's an order, it's an order......"
The deputy company commander's mouth continued to hypnotize himself, and he walked step by step towards the first child, and finally stood in front of this child.
The child looked less than fifteen years old.
His thin body trembled with fear, as if he knew that his end was near, so he raised his head and glared at the deputy company commander with innocent eyes, and when he saw the spear that was close at hand, he couldn't help crying.
"Wow wow. “
The cry caused a lot of tears, and more than 90 children began to shed tears one after another.
Bang.
When he heard the child's cry, the deputy company commander collapsed, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground.
"I can't do it, I really can't do it......"
The deputy company commander hugged his head painfully and said: "I am an imperial soldier, my duty is to protect my family and defend the country, and my spear should be pointed at the heart of the enemy soldier." I really can't do it to these underage children. ”
The expressions of the surrounding soldiers began to loosen.
Some have even put down their spears in their hands, and the words of the deputy company commander hit their hearts, they can sacrifice their lives for the empire, or they can die with the enemy, but they don't have the courage to aim their spears at these children.
"You think so too?"
Vega glanced at the soldiers around him, his tone becoming colder.
No one answered.
But all the soldiers bowed their heads, and only a few soldiers were forced to point their spears at the children.
See here.
The emaciated child, Bray, had a sly smile on his lips.
As the lowest level of this society, he has not died so far, and in a short period of time, he has taken control of this street children's organization, and even joined the United Kingdom's intelligence system, which is naturally because he knows how to use his weak advantages and the hearts of some human beings to sympathize with the weak.
When he succeeded in arousing the sympathy of the soldiers, he knew he was safe.
As for the officer who is still clamoring?
Although he could only hear the immature voice from behind him and couldn't see his face, in this general situation, he must not be able to make any waves, and the only thing that surprised him was that this unknown officer actually had no sympathy.
Isn't it appropriate to feel sympathy when you see the weak?
As a strong person, will it be a piece of meat to let the weak take advantage of sympathy?
Look, this kind of scene of betrayal and separation is not to give the end of using sympathy, and Bray wanted to taunt the masked officer proudly, but in the current situation, he still cried a little louder.
"What a woman's kindness. A hint of disdain flashed in Vega's eyes.
The strong can be a weapon, the weak can also be a weapon, and sometimes human morality and right things can even be murderous weapons. The street children are just turning the weak into weapons, attacking the weak hearts of the strong, and achieving the effect of seeking benefits.
Vega picked up the spear that the deputy company commander had dropped on the ground.
He walked towards the crying street children with decisive steps: "You are all good imperial soldiers, so let me be this 'evil'." Compared with boring kindness, I really like 'evil', because only 'evil' never needs to whitewash itself with any weakness, morality, and benevolence, and only 'evil' that stands on the opposite side of goodness fights with no scruples, uprightness, and bare hands. ”
Da-da-da-da.
The echo of the boots stomping on the ground stopped, and Vega stood in front of the crying Bray.
Bray shuddered.
He looked at the shadows on the ground, as if he smelled death.
Bray looked up with difficulty.
When the face of the visitor was seen, the cries used for disguise stopped.
How could it be him?
It was the only thought in Bray's head.
Last year, he also plotted against Vega, asking Vega to support him as the new leader, but he didn't expect that the other party left a sentence the next day that I wanted to join the army, and he disappeared from his sight without even listening to persuasion, and he only took it as an excuse for Vega's fear.
In the following month.
He used some tricks to win over most of the street children to become the new leaders, and even joined the United Kingdom's spy system because of this, and when he successfully reached the peak of his life, he secretly laughed at Vega's timidity.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
The kid who didn't have any characteristics except for being more brave and ruthless really boarded the chariot of the Imperial army and became an officer of the Empire?
How he did it.
Could it be that he was promoted by using the sympathy of his superiors?
It must be like this.
When the idea was confirmed, Bray put on a flattering smile.
He stood up without authorization and put on a hug posture and said: "Vega, you bastard, you bastard are finally willing to come back to see us, find a good way out and don't pull an old friend, don't forget that you couldn't hand in something and was almost beaten up, or I paid for you." ”
