Arthur destroyed the gates of Lear Fortress and the entire street in the very center, leaving only a charred black patch in the path, and the depression in the center was enough to prove how powerful it was.

Gao Wen took Wang Yao into the ice-covered Lil Fortress, the entire fortress has been covered with ice and frost and snow, and the four fields of the city wall were washed away by heavy rain and then ushered in two snowstorms, and the water condensed ice was cold everywhere.

The aristocratic commander led people to various houses to catch out the shivering rebels one by one, and maintained order by the way.

They looked at the people who were shivering from the cold, and they had only one thought, and that was to relieve their anger!

It's like just going to a tavern to drink a strong glass of vodka, and your heart is burning hot, and there is nothing more joyful than a bloodless victory.

Arthur rode on his horse and looked at the rebels who were frozen like quails, clapping his palms lightly, and his words were full of pride.

"I knew why I had to do it in the first place, could I have a good result with three stupid commanders?"

Where did the rebels of more than 20,000 people dare to talk, and they knelt down in submission after lining up and bowed, hoping that the benevolent Earl Arthur would forgive them for their infidelity, and the only thing they could do for the soldiers was to obey orders from above.

Arthur shook his head slowly, and at this time he couldn't say anything, so he could only wait for Gawain to arrest the three traitorous lieutenants and avenge the dead Viscount Duranley.

After about a prayer, Gawain escorted the three lieutenants and a stretcher covered with a white cloth out of the fortress of Lear.

Gawain walked over to Arthur and whispered.

"It's been a short time, I've just roughly ordered the Lear Fortress, which has been emptied and only 20,000 people are left with a week's worth of rations. ”

Arthur frowned, the enemy was not as simple as he thought, it seemed that they were ready to abandon this place for a long time.

"What is that?" Arthur glanced at the white cloth.

"Viscount Duranley's body was originally still in an abandoned treasury and had already stinked, but now it has been frozen into a frozen corpse, and it will take too long to transport it back to the royal capital. ”

Arthur thought for a moment.

"Cremation, if the Viscount's family comes and asks me to explain. Falling leaves return to the roots, which is also something that cannot be helped. ”

"I'll go down and arrange, what about these three people and the rebels?"

Gawain sighed. It is a good thing to have an army of 20,000 people, but it is a pity that there is no food, since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and now the food ration problem is the biggest problem, leaving them The entire resistance army will be without food in a few days, and what will everyone eat when the time comes.

The three of them saw Arthur and Gawain looking at them, and no matter how the people around them pressed, they rushed forward desperately.

"Your Excellency, we know that we are wrong, and I ask your pardon to forgive us. ”

"My lord, we were also forced, my lord..."

"It was Collid who instigated me, please believe me, my lord!"

The three of them knelt on the ground and their heads were broken, shirking their responsibilities to each other, and even scuffling together, exposing their ugly posture in front of everyone in order to survive, and finally pulled the three apart.

"I'll ask you something, and if you satisfy me, then I might be able to spare your life. What about the supplies for Lear Fortress? When were they removed? ”

Arthur said with a smile of ridiculous sincerity.

"I said, I said, three days ago, all of them were taken away by the blood Karami. ”

Blood Kalami, an unfamiliar name, sounds like a woman.

"Who she is. ”

The three of them fell silent for an instant, as if this person's past was a terrible taboo, and no one dared to speak about it.

Arthur sneered and was too lazy to dwell on it, anyway, they would meet sooner or later in the future, and there was no point in these three people living.

"I am a merciful man, and I will not torture you to send you a whole corpse, and then you will remain here forever, and I will erect a monument for you, and your glorious deeds will be passed on forever and forever. ”

The three of them were stunned, and everyone was stunned.

It's easy to kill someone, but it's hard to punish the heart, and this is completely an act of condemnation.

"Viscount Duranley is a valiant general, he has been faithful to his duty to garrison the fortress of Lear, but unfortunately betrayed by three shameful traitors, this past does not want to be forgotten, I hope it will always be passed on. Where there are heroes, there must be traitors, and no one is more suitable than the three of you. ”

Arthur sat in his office at Lear's fortress and looked at the white world outside, rubbing his hands together and breathing, not knowing when the ice here would melt.

On the desk were some documents and a cipher letter that Lawrence had given him, and a cipher letter from outside the Circle of Defenses, probably about the strange illness that had been contracted by many refugees these days.

"I didn't expect that one of my unintentional actions would actually make the conspiracy of the Scarlet Church not succeed, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. ”

"Did the letter say anything?" Morgan asked.

"The Scarlet Church has a holy water that can purify the curse, this is a breakthrough point, if this problem can be solved, I can deal with it a lot here, do you have a way?"

"If I can get some holy water, I still have a way. ”

"Eve and Sana are both in that city, I think it won't be long before news comes out, and I'm sorry that Sana's ban was lifted without telling you. ”

Morgan shook his head slightly.

"This is your freedom and has nothing to do with me, I heard that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been dispatched, this should be your first trouble now, do you need me to come back to help you?"

Arthur didn't speak, and Morgan didn't want to dwell on this issue, since Arthur didn't want to share his thoughts with him, then she didn't need to take the initiative to talk to him, both of them were people with a bottom line, so they were naturally measured.

The three rebellious lieutenants were executed, and Arthur did leave them with a whole corpse without cutting off their heads, but what happened here was also a warning, Arthur really ordered someone to carve a stone tablet to record this history.

One can die, but there must be something left, or the fortress of Lell will lose its meaning, and the valiant viscount must leave an account.

If the walls are destroyed, they can be rebuilt, but if the hearts of the people are scattered, it means that everything has been lost.

There were a few ideas that Arthur had to freeze these 20,000 people along with their sins, but the human heart is always the most important thing, and once it loses credibility, it will be difficult to gain it. Arthur's goal has been determined, and although the victory built with human life can become a generation of military gods, it will not be able to achieve political achievements and will not help the future road.

The law does not hold the public accountable.

These 20,000 people can't rule out that they don't have sinful thoughts in their hearts, and there are many things that can be seen from the dodgy eyes, Arthur is sure that this group of people is no longer usable, as for what to do with this group of people, it is a matter for the kingdom, he is just the person in charge of doing things. But if Arthur is king, it is very simple to find a reason to exile them, only a painful life can truly refine a person's heart and purify the sinful soul.

Traitors are shameful, and with the first betrayal, then the subsequent betrayal is logical, and there are countless histories to back it up.
