Chapter Twenty-Six: Blood on the Hands
Over the next few years, Virgil did his best to advise General Baker, because in Virgil's opinion, the general who brought him glory was just and trustworthy, and planning for him would definitely benefit the people of the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In order to defend the city, General Baker did not leave the battlefield to return home even when his son was seriously ill.
The herald of the thunderstorm anxiously told General Baker about the young master's illness, and General Baker stared at the knights fighting in the rain under the rolling dark clouds, and said without looking back: "I don't have time to take care of that kid now." ”
"But the young master's situation is really serious, I'm afraid this may be ......"
"If it's really possible, I'd rather stay here. Stay here and watch every soldier, every moment could be the last look. ”
Baker roared: "Take all my savings! Ask the best doctor to treat him! If this can't be helped, just follow the arrangement of the god of fate! But you must know that I am not a doctor, I am a general, I can't do anything in front of the child's sickbed, but staying here can allow more of my subordinates to survive! Vig, is it time for the right cavalry to assault?"
Virgie came to his senses from his awe-inspiring mood and quickly nodded, "Yes, General Baker." ”
"Okay, then use this bag to chop up all the dark creatures!"
"Up until this point, I have always thought that you, General Baker, are still a soldier to be admired. ”
Virgil kicked away the burned fragment of the bell and said with a regretful expression, "At that time, I was convinced that as long as I followed you, I would follow the light, and if I was a righteous and strict general, even if I was weak and sick, I could become a behind-the-scenes hero in the trade city." It's a pity that this period of time is too short, and Childe's illness has not been cured, and it always recurs again and again to devastate you within five years, probably because of this reason, General Baker, you have slowly changed. ”
Baker clasped his hands in "beheading" and remained silent.
"I haven't been able to notice your transformation and have always seen you as the most trustworthy person. It is because of this condition that you have the opportunity to become the only person in the world who has deceived me. ”
Virgy has been at Baker's side for five years, and during those five years of constant warfare, the good news is that the Dark Legion has not expanded one step further, and the bad news is that the Knights have not been able to solve the problem once and for all.
And Baker's little master has always been sick and ill, and every time he hears bad news from home, Baker's anxiety in his heart is aggravated. He didn't know how many copper wine glasses he had broken, but he couldn't take time back to the imperial capital to visit his children.
"General, if the young master's medical expenses are not enough...... Please send all my salary back to the royal capital to treat the young master!"
Virgy handed the pocket full of silver coins to the general.
And General Baker turned around, but there were two lines of old tears.
"Thank you, Strategist Viggie. What I hope for most is to end the fighting here forever and return to my family. ”
However, the war in the trade city can never end, because the trade city and the city where the dark legion is stationed are only a hundred miles apart, and the most important thing is that the opposite city is neutral, and it is a large bazaar of free trade of various races, including dark minions, according to the international contract, the Holy Light Knights cannot send troops to crusade against neutral cities, so the trade city will always fall into a passive situation where it can only defend but not attack, and it will never be able to sweep away the nearby dark legion once and for all.
Until Baker told Virgie the news-
The Dark Legion intends to gather forces to conquer us this time, so they have massively increased their forces and gathered in the opposite city, where the Great Bazaar has been forced to close, and merchants no longer go to that city. The city opposite is now the stronghold of the Dark Legion.
Virgy took off his monocle and said in surprise: "In other words, if we can capture this base camp before the Dark Legion counterattacks, we can deal a serious blow to the arrogance of the Dark Legion!"
"And this time, there is no concern that the flames of war will affect innocent businessmen. ”
Baker ordered: "Strategist Virgil, please devise a strategy for me that can break down the city on the other side!"
"Well, if we win this game. Vicky smiled eagerly and said, "General Baker will definitely be able to take leave and return to the royal capital!"
Virgil asked a small number of soldiers to disguise themselves as merchants to go to the west gate of the other city, and after entering the city, they drew their swords one after another, trying to capture the city gate.
However, the infiltration operation carried out by such a small number of people was quickly detected and defeated by the opponent. The opposing general realized that using the Trojan horse strategy to attack Ximen was a feint, and the real main force of the Knights actually hit the south gate, and was ready to take advantage of the dark legion's division to deal with the soldiers infiltrated by Ximen, and make every effort to capture the south gate during this gap in local forces.
The commander of the Dark Legion gritted his teeth and looked at the vast smoke and dust rolling up on the Great Plains outside the South Gate, and said confidently: "I almost fell for Virgil's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Fortunately, I was resourceful and not caught up in Simon's feint. All troops, defend the south gate with all your might!"
Just when the Dark Legion was ready at the south gate, an earth-shattering explosion occurred at the west gate, and the city walls and gates fell apart!
"What the hell is going on at Simon!" The Lord will be frightened.
"The soldiers who pretended to be merchants...... It turned out that the original intention was not to attack the city gate from the inside, but the real purpose was to transport the weapons with explosive runes painted on them to the city!"
"A weapon with explosive runes drawn?" the general was dumbfounded.
"That's right...... It's the weapons we've collected in the arsenal of the city walls. The intricate explosive runes drawn on the inside of the scabbard triggered a massive explosion that blew up the city walls when the fire mage used magic to urge it!"
"So it's a feint at the south gate!" the lord stood on end, watching the knights under the city wall tie branches to the tail of their horses, kicking up huge smoke and dust, and after slipping around the city, they fled away with a sly smile.
The Lord was in the dust, he knew that the main force of the Knights would rush in along the breach of the West Gate, and his army would not be able to rush through in time, and the fall of the city was inevitable.
In desperation, the Lord General smiled evilly and said, "That fellow Baker has now abandoned the hypocrisy of the Knights of the Holy Light, and has disregarded the lives of countless innocent merchants, what a formidable enemy. ”
When Yuri heard this, his hands trembled, as if he could see the tragic situation of Simon's corpse all over the field after the explosion.
He shuddered and asked, "The big bazaar is not closed at all, and the merchants are not withdrawn at all, right?"
Virgi couldn't help but lower her eyes, "You're right, Yuri. So people say that I am the Grim Reaper's Advisor, and that the quills are not stained with ink but with blood, and this is not a lie. ”
Yuri turned to face Baker: "This kind of thing! How can you lie!"
At the end of the war, Virgil grabbed Baker by the collar and asked Baker angrily and sadly.
"I'm afraid it's a mistake in the military situation. Baker replied without changing his face.
"How could it be that there was a mistake in the military situation! Hundreds of merchants could not see clearly! The big bazaar was so lively that it could not be mistaken for a halt! General Baker, what the hell have you done!"
"I ended the war in the trade city for good. Baker impatiently slapped Vicky's hand away.
"But you've killed countless innocents!"
"I, Virgi, isn't this battle a ploy of yours?"
Virgie's pupils narrowed suddenly.
After the heavy gates of the General's Mansion were closed, Vicky was full of resentment, but he had no choice but to step on the way home.
However, his luxurious military mansion has long since become unexpected.
Angry people wrote all sorts of curses and invective words on the walls.
Murderers, cold-blooded, war criminals.
And the four words written in the justification are "Death Warrior".
The soldiers pulled the furious crowd apart, but the hoarse accusations still broke Virgil's heart, as if they were about to hold it little by little, to bring it to a standstill.
"My husband is selling deerskins in the city opposite! When he went out yesterday morning, he pricked the child's cheek with his beard and said that he would wait for his father to come home, but today! The father of the children has only one hand left!"
"Give me back my legs!
"Hey, hey, big fireworks, big fireworks, hehehehe. ”
Virgy wanted to turn back and bow and apologize to these innocent people who had been pushed into the abyss of disaster, but he was smashed back by eggs and tomatoes.
"I'm sorry......," Virgie said, battling all sorts of garbage flying in.
"You don't need to apologize, what you need is a trial!"
In the following week, the military division's mansion, which once carried glory and hope, decayed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
On the seventh day, the former glorious military advisor Vicky, wearing platinum shackles on his hands, was taken to the royal capital by the Knights of the Inquisition.
"Virgil, although your strategy has helped General Baker subdue another city in the Twin Cities of the Trade City, it has cost countless innocent lives and incurable pain for countless families. What you have committed is a horrific war crime. Do you plead guilty? ”
Virgi looked up and said weakly, "Can I ask a question before confessing my guilt?"
"Excuse me. ”
"The young master of General Baker's family, has he recovered?"
"Young Master, if you were to ask General Baker if his child was healthy, I think it would be very healthy. ”
"That's great. ”
At least I killed so many people and saved one person.
Virgy pressed the red handprint on the confession, and there was a long-lost sense of relief in his heart.
Now I can use my life to show my remorse.
Virgil looked forward to being sent to the Divine Prison, and then under the Holy Sword, or even on the Holy Torch, to receive the righteous verdict to thank the world.
Virgy wanted to go to hell, but he didn't expect to end up in a gorgeous and comfortable paradise.
