Chapter 114 Selection

With Anthony's escape, the human prisoner of war camp was put under martial law. Lu Jingzhi was studying elemental power and spell patterns, which all the undead knew, and even mass-produced things like elemental grenades had become hard currency in the duchy's military camp to a certain extent. Lu Jingzhi didn't use this thing to bribe those high-ranking knights.

But this time the matter was so big that even Lu Jingzhi was very embarrassed.

More than 2,000 cavalrymen and infantry in iron and leather armor surrounded the prisoner of war camp, and the human prisoners of war in the camp were defenseless. Fortunately, Lu Jingzhi also has an identity, he is a high-ranking knight of the empire, and he has the title of magic envoy, which can ensure that he will not be abused. But the humans were not so easy, and when Lieutenant Colonel Johnson was captured, a dozen soldiers tried to block it, but the infantry smashed them to the ground with sheathed swords, and then there was a fierce kick. One soldier tried to get up, but the knight who arrived stepped on him with his iron boots on his ankle, and after a crunch, there was only a thin layer of flesh between the soldier's feet and legs.

Seeing that there were more and more human soldiers surrounding them, the undead infantry drew their swords, ready to kill the ones who resisted. At this time, Johnson stood up abruptly and shouted, "Don't resist, all go back!" As soon as he finished saying this, he was slapped in the face by an iron glove of a cavalryman, and fell to the ground spraying blood. He was afraid that the soldiers would see that he was defeated, so he continued to come over and fight hard, and hurriedly stood up in pain, saying, "Don't resist, don't resist!"

The undead infantry knocked out the soldiers who remained with the lieutenant colonel, then grabbed the lieutenant colonel and motioned for him to follow them. The lieutenant colonel said to the deputy battalion commander of the major, who was hiding behind the crowd: "After I leave, my soldiers will be handed over to you to take care of." The deputy battalion commander lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

Lieutenant Colonel Johnson was taken by the undead soldiers to the center of the prisoner of war camp, where they erected a long pole and tied a rope to one end of the pole to hang him. Lieutenant Colonel Johnson scolded Anthony who ran away a hundred times in his heart, but now he can only scold him in his heart to relieve his anger.

The undead infantry tied Johnson's hands behind his back, and put the rope hanging from the long pole on his hand, and pulled it up hard, Johnson's feet were off the ground, his wrist snapped and dislocated, and he screamed in pain, and when he saw the deputy battalion commander come out and look at him, he couldn't help but shout: "Ask that kid more if you have something." "That kid is referring to Lu Jingzhi.

There is an old Chinese saying that Cao Cao is called, and Cao Cao arrives. Lu Jingzhi is the same. Just as Johnson was yelling at the deputy battalion commander, he came.

"Let him down, he's mine. Lu Jingzhi exclaimed, "I bought it with a spell." ”

"Your people?" said the knight at the head, "you won't teach them how to be slaves, we'll teach them for you." As he spoke, he raised his whip and struck Johnson in the face. Half of his face was stained red with blood gushing out.

Lu Jingzhi said angrily: "My people, I will be responsible!"

The knight refused to listen to him, and was ready to continue to whip Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, who had been hanged. Lu Jingzhi pulled out an elemental grenade, but he knew that if he threw this grenade, the consequences would be too serious, so he didn't dare to move it when he held it in his hand.

At this moment, a high-level knight rushed over when he heard the sound, and saw Lu Jingzhi holding high-level magic in his hand, his white face couldn't help frowning, and said, "What is this for? Why did magic make Your Excellency so angry?" Then he waved his hand and pointed at Johnson and said, "Put him down first, and we will tell His Excellency the Magician if he has something." ”

Lu Jingzhi recognized that the high-ranking knight was Jonny, and knew that the sword qi in his hand was extremely accurate. With him present, even if he can unexpectedly throw a grenade and blow it up a few times, I'm afraid it will be difficult to please. At this time, he saw that Lieutenant Colonel Johnson was let go, and only then did he take the lead and walk outside the prisoner of war camp.

In Tilly's tent, the Principality Army, represented by Jonny, rebuked Lu Jingzhi and asked him to take responsibility for someone to escape.

Lu Jingzhi said without concessions: "As long as you return my people to me, I will bear any responsibility." "He bought these people, and there is nothing wrong with that. In the Western knightly system, the property of the captured knight remained his private property, which should be retained and redeemed at any time. As long as the ransom price is equal to that of a knight, even less than the property he had at the time of his capture is reasonable. Lu Jingzhi used the magic scrolls he made to buy these human captives, which were his personal property, and these undead knights were at most to help him discipline his disobedient slaves, but they could not deprive him of ownership.

Jonny sneered, "No problem, dear magician, of course your people are still yours. But in order to punish them for the trouble they have caused us, we suggest that we kill the leader, lest he lead the slaves against you. "He meant to kill Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, and those people would be leaderless.

Lu Jingzhi naturally didn't do it. Anthony ran away, Johnson became the most senior officer here, and if he died, the power would be divided among several majors, and it would be difficult to have a unified command. "No!" Lu Jing said, "This person is very important to me, and I have to hand over a lot of my affairs to him to be efficient." ”

Jonic said, "Is it so important to you that you are just a human being?"

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "That's right, it's so important." Otherwise, I'll give 100 high-level magic scrolls, as long as you let him go. ”

Jonny laughed, "That's not necessary. If you think he is important, then what does it matter to let him go? With a wave of his hand, he asked his men to lift the curtain of the tent of the central army, and found a circle of infantry armed with swords on the left and right. Jonny smiled darkly, "Your Excellency the Magician, on the left, there are 100 human captives, they are just ordinary soldiers, they don't have any heads," he pointed to the right with his hand, and said, "The right side is the one you said is very important." Now you choose one to punish, whichever side you choose, which side will fall to the ground. Whether 1 person is important or 100 people is important, you choose. ”

Lu Jingzhi took the case and said: "How can this be reasonable! These are all my people, why do you have them?"

Jonny leaned back, half-reclined in his chair, and said leisurely, "Just because they don't obey the military rules." Even if our own soldiers don't obey the military regulations, they will still end up in the soul refining pool. It's cheap to kill with a knife. ”

Lu Jingzhi knew that he would have to suffer for months before he died when he entered the soul refining pool, and at that time, his soul had already worn out his memory, and he didn't dare to resist anymore, so he could use it no matter how he wanted. But he couldn't make up his mind whether to send 100 people to die or send 1 person to die.

Jonny drew his sword, drew a cross in the air, and sent out two sword qi, drawing two deep grooves in the ground, extending towards the two groups of infantry. He took out an oil lamp from Tilly's tent, poured it into the ditch, and then lit two fires, and said, "If you don't want anyone to die, step on the fire on that side, and if you step on one side, the other side will do it at once, and you will not be given a chance to step on the second fire." He paused, looked at Lu Jingzhi's face and continued: "You can also not step on it, when the fire is at the end, these infantry will move at the same time, so ......"

Lu Jingzhi looked at the two long earthen ditches and the oil burning slowly in them, and his heart was at a loss. Of course, the one he wants to save the most is the lieutenant colonel, and Lieutenant Colonel Johnson has the most contact with him, although he usually does not smile, but his majesty is very strict, and he has never made any mistakes. He couldn't help but take a few steps to the fire on the right, and then the infantry on the left raised his sword. Do you want to give up those 100 soldiers? Lu Jingzhi looked fixedly, there was his familiar figure there, and Mule was impressively inside. He was tied with his hands behind his back like the lieutenant colonel, and his bright eyes revealed an unyielding light, and when he saw Lu Jingzhi looking over, he shook his head, pointed to the other side with his chin, and signaled him to save the lieutenant colonel.

No matter which side you choose, there will be very important people who will die, but if you don't choose, people on both sides will not survive. Is 100 people important, or is 1 person important? This question gnawed at Lu Jingzhi's heart like a snake. He had no choice.

I remember someone said: If there is a clear right or wrong choice, a fool will choose the right one, because no one knows that it is wrong to choose. But if both are wrong, how do you choose? Just like when you were young, you used to be full of pride, thinking about whether you want to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University when you grow up. But when the college entrance examination is over, it is very uncomfortable to find that you can only choose some three books or junior colleges. If you choose, you will inevitably face the results you don't want, but if you don't choose, the results will be even more unacceptable.

Are you going to marry a smart one, or a beautiful one? What if I could only choose one? Let me think about it. No, no, no, they have nothing to do with you at all, you can only choose between a stupid woman and an ugly woman. If you don't, you're doomed to marry a stupid and ugly woman—or die alone.

Just when Lu Jingzhi was in a trance, the fire was almost burned out, and if he didn't choose it in the end, no one on either side would be able to keep it. He looked back desperately at Tilly, who was calmly waiting for her choice.

"Can't you save them?" Lu Jingzhi wanted to ask this woman for the first time, "They are human beings just like you." ”

Tilly shook her head when she heard this, and said, "They are not the same kind of people as me, and I am not obligated to save them." In addition to the cold rejection in her eyes, there was also an extremely complex emotion. But Lu Jingzhi couldn't understand it.

Seeing that the fire was about to burn to the end, Lu Jingzhi's mind was blank, and he stepped on the nearest one! All he could think of was this sentence. So he ran towards the nearest fire and trampled it out, not daring to see which side of the fire he had stolen. In his ears, the screams were one after another.

"I will take revenge!" Lu Jingzhi comforted himself, "I will definitely take revenge." He raised his teary eyes and looked out to see Lieutenant Colonel Johnson hacked to the ground, and the group of soldiers tried to run to save him, but they were beaten and screamed.

"Don't resist!" Lu Jingzhi shouted, "Don't let your lieutenant colonel die in vain." He was killed to save you. ”

Don't resist. This is also the sentence that the lieutenant colonel said when he was taken away. When the soldiers heard this, they gradually stopped resisting, and like stakes, they were knocked down and kicked to the side. Even if he coughed up blood, he was silent. They kept the pain in their hearts and left it for later reckoning.

How will Lu Jingzhi manage these people, and where will he go in the future? Please watch the next episode.
