Chapter 316: On the Way
A ragged linen civilian shirt.
Mennono's chubby body shrunk in the corner of the room, shivering.
Although he had anticipated this scene as early as when he saw the wanted people on the streets, he was really not mentally prepared to become a prisoner of the Imperial ranks.
Da Da Da β
There was a sound of footsteps.
Even though the door hadn't been opened, Mennonite knew it must be the commander of the Imperial Army.
Fearing physical pain, Menno confessed everything he knew before the torture began, and now he has no use value at all, and the items that have no use value will be discarded, as for people...... will be killed.
Mennonite knows this.
But he didn't want to die yet, so the moment he heard the footsteps, he hurriedly made a kneeling posture, knocked his head to the ground, and greeted the people who were about to come in. He hoped that his sincere attitude would impress the Imperial Commander and let him live, even if it was the slightest thing, he would have to struggle.
Because ah.
He really didn't want to die yet.
Squeak β
The doorway was opened.
A group of about four or five men entered the room, and Menno didn't even have the courage to raise his head and peek at it.
"Look up. β
A childish child's voice echoed through the room.
This surprised Mennonite, how could there be a child here?
But this thought only held *** in his mind, and was replaced by another terrible thought......
He remembered the kingdom's list of threats to war, and remembered an officer who had been reported in a large part of the last issue of the monthly magazineβ
Vega Kareni.
Legend has it that he graduated as a recruit at the age of 11 and became a general at the age of 13, which is unprecedented in the Jialan Continent, and it is also one of the objects of his envy.
Legend has it that he sabotaged the kingdom's ultimate strategy twice.
One is the kingdom's battle plan for the empire's northern front, and the other is the strategic plan for the destruction of the Holy Dynasty.
The first time it made the kingdom's strategic purpose of occupying the northern part of the empire go to naught, and the second time it made the kingdom unable to covet the western region of the Holy Dynasty, and it was these two defeats that directly made the kingdom's plan to be promoted to the first power of Jialan come to naught.
The threat of war is deservedly fifth.
Although he did envy Vega's talent and strength, he never thought that one day he would have to face Vega alone.
Even though it's just a 13-year-old.
But the terrible title of "War Devil" is known to everyone throughout the kingdom.
Looking back at the bloody scene two days ago, when he saw the Imperial Army brutally killing his men and taking pleasure in it, it reinforces the fact that Vega is the 'devil'.
Seeing is believing, hearing is false.
But where is this hearing, this cruelty is simply excessive.
I said, looking up. β
The second voice made Menno forget the fear in his heart, and he subconsciously raised his head.
When he saw that the person in front of him was indeed Vega, the only trace of luck left in his heart was shattered.
He wept bitterly and said: "General Vega, Lord Vega, please let me live, everything I know has been told to you, there is absolutely no half a lie, I don't want to die yet, please don't worry about my little leader." β
"I can let you go. β
Vega replied almost immediately.
But this sentence did not make Menno cry bitterly, because although he was afraid of death, he was not a stupid person.
If you want to get something, you have to give something else.
Mennonite knew this, so he could only hope that the price didn't matter.
As for refusal?
It's a pity that Mennonite doesn't intend to refuse, for him, as long as he can survive safely, any price can be paid, even if it is for him to betray his relatives and betray the country.
"Please tell me your terms, Shogun. β
Menno knelt on the ground and looked at Vega, anticipating Vega's next words.
"I'll tell you in a few days that you'll be able to keep you alive, and you can just wait in peace. β
Vega left the room with the men, and at the same time ordered that Mennonite's freedom should not be restricted anymore, and only two professionals should be sent to watch him.
Through the temptation just now, Vega basically figured out Mennonite's character.
This kind of death-fearing and somewhat clever person is the character that Vega likes to use the most, because the only little cleverness keeps them from being too pedantic, and the death-fearing personality ensures that they will not refuse any of the terms they have to offer.
Vega sees this very clearly.
So he sent Mennonite with his army and began to prepare for a plan to use Mennonite.
ββββ
The pace of the march was not fast.
Because it was necessary to cross the Taliban Mountains to the north, and the terrain of the Taliban Mountains was difficult to navigate, which was not conducive to the march of the large army, and there were constant news of soldiers falling to death along the way, so Vega ordered a slow march for the sake of the large army.
At the current rate.
It will take about half a month to go north around the Taliban Mountains and reach the vicinity of Shenghui City.
By the river, the troops are burying pots and cooking.
Mennon, the head of the regiment, handed over the grilled fish as soon as possible and said: "Lord Vega, the first fish that has just been grilled, please use it first, you have been eating marching dry food for the past few days, I think you must be tired of it." β
Asked not to leave Vega's sight, he stayed by Vega's side.
Vega took the grilled fish and ate it in a big gulp.
As soon as dinner was over, Mennonite handed over a cup of tea: "General, please use tea, this is the best tea specially brought out by the lower officials when they went out of the city, and it is absolutely fragrant." β
After drinking tea.
Mennonite handed over another bottle of potion: "My lord, this is a medicine that repells mosquitoes and insects, a specialty of the city of silver pines......"
"Your tent has been set up for you, you can go and rest at any time......"
β......β
This great dedication finally made Carol on the side unbearable.
They already hated the kingdom army, and Xiya said it directly because of her difficult identity, but Carol didn't have this scruples, he pointed directly at Vega and said: "Little ghost, what do you mean by keeping this kingdom officer around, don't forget that we and the kingdom are enemies." β
"Mennonite is still useful. β
"What is the use of followers and doglegs?"
Carol didn't give Vega any face: "Vega Kareni, you give me an honest explanation, what are you hiding from me and Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'm afraid this road is not a route plan for the north." I've been putting up with it for a long time these days, and if it weren't for Her Royal Highness the princess saying that I want to believe you, the three feudal lords would have stopped me from asking the reason four times......"
"Carol!"
Princess Thea stopped Carol from continuing, she looked at Vega with an apologetic gaze and said, "I'm really sorry, General Vega, we don't suspect your army, it's just that Carol is too sensitive. β
"Your Royal Highness, you are so naΓ―ve. β
Carol pointed to Vega's nose and said, "The people of the Empire, who are cunning by nature, how can they be gullible, he now has a Kingdom officer by his side, coupled with this road to Shenghui City, maybe he is planning to throw you and me into the hands of the Kingdom Army of Saint Laurent, so as to seek a chance to live." β
"I believe in General Vega. β
Princess Thea looked at Carol and said in an extremely serious tone, even though she knew that this route was wrong, he still chose to believe that Vega would help her, just because it was the only person she believed in besides Carol.
"Mistress Carol is right. β
But at this time, Vega said something unexpected: "It is true that my purpose is not to go north, but to the city of Saint Laurent." β
Carol instantly drew her cross-sword, and Princess Thea's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, only Menno seemed to think of something, his face turned blue in an instant, and the bean-sized cold sweat grass slid down his forehead.
