Chapter 083: Full of Suspicion
The wind and snow came in through the cracks in the window, and the pine resin oil lamp on the table was blowing and swaying, and Alan showed a familiar and confident smile, and the shadow behind him appeared on the wall with the firelight, making him look much taller.

Kenny sat in the only armchair in the room, his fingers tapping on the handlebar, and he looked at the arrogant guy in front of him with speculative eyes, and the room fell into silence, except for the sound of the wind and snow howling.
"What's wrong, you guys?" Alan scratched his nose, feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.
"You've only said the beginning, and we're waiting for you to continue. Sersi took over.
"Details?" said Allen, repeating the last two words in a questioning tone, his mind scribbling over the words, trying to make up a convincing detail.
Kenny pondered Alan's words, and the expression on his face slowly changed from suspicion to anger, "I don't agree, it's too cruel." Your ideas are even more evil and filthy than Barton's, and I'd rather carry out a coup d'Γ©tat in a dignified manner!"
"Cruel, evil, filthy?" Alan let out a few sharp glare from his lungs, and then shook his head disapprovingly, "Compared with the 200,000 citizens of the territory of Nippur? β
Before Alan could finish speaking, Kenny suddenly stood up from his chair and grabbed Allen's collar. With the advantage of height and arm strength, he pushed Alan into the corner of the wall and carried it in the air, and the eyes of Sersi and Aiden on the side widened, not knowing what was going on.
"What are you trying to do?!" Alan growled.
Kenny glared at Alan in front of him. "Say!" he roared hoarsely, "where did you see that?, and the saying, 'Darkness belongs to the night, and blood is still......'"
Alan paused, a flash of consternation in his eyes, and immediately reached out to grab Kenny's elbow. The pain in the joints caused Kenny to let go of his hand, and Alan landed on the ground and took two steps back, looking at the tall silhouette in the candlelight.
"You doubt me?" his tone was calm, and there was a hint of indignation in his eyes, "put away your suspicions, it will make me think that you are a coward who has been defeated in battle." Why don't you think about it, if I were a spy, you would have gone to see the god Namu a long time ago. β
Kenny didn't say anything, he looked at Alan who was close at hand, and regretted the urge to do so. He hadn't recovered from that traumatic experience since Camille's betrayal, and after the defeat of the city of Karta, he slowly faded from arrogance, but gradually became suspicious, or as cowardly as Allen put it, he confessed, and blamed himself.
"I've heard about you, about Camille. Alan walked over to Kenny and put his hand on his shoulder, "But not everyone will follow the example of the bird whisperer. You're just a defeated and absconding guy now, with nothing but the silver armor on your body and the sword at your waist, don't lose the people who still follow you because of your suspicion. I hope this is the last time. β
Kenny looks at Allen, whose eyes are full of sincerity. He was like a roundworm in his stomach, in front of this guy, he seemed to have lost all his disguise, or his chest was cut by a sharp blade, and every beat of his heart was remembered by him.
"I'm sorry, but maybe there's still some remnants of that evil sorcery in my body. Kenny said apologetically.
"I've been to the First Continent, and I've read Uncle Andrew's War Leader, it's a good book, it's wonderful, and I envy you for having a father like that. Alan squeezed out an unnatural smile.
Kenny patted Eren on the arm, "Don't worry, I swear to Namu that this is the last time." β
"And what about my proposal, are you still against it?" asked Allen.
"I don't have the right to choose, maybe only Sersi is qualified to answer you in this room, because this is the city of Nippur. Kenny turned to look at Sercy.
Selcey looked at Kenny blankly, he reached out and touched his bare head, and sighed puzzled, "What does it have to do with me? I have made it very clear that the decision is up to you, and I am only responsible for carrying it out." If you want to live a little longer. β
"What Allen means is to make all of us spies. Kenny thought for a moment, then added, "Be a spy for the Bluebone Terrans." β
"I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't understand it either, can you make it clearer?" Aiden interjected.
"He told us to sit back and let Taylor attack the Blue Bone Terrans, but he hoped that the result would be the annihilation of the Horn Legion, and we would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, as simple as that. Kenny explained.
"Oh-" Sersi let out a long sigh with a look of sudden realization. But he didn't say anything right away, as if he was digesting the explanation that had just been so clear.
"Your explanation is a bit out of context, Sersi, and I'm by no means as dirty as Kenny says. β
"But that's exactly what you intended, at least that's how it turned out, don't admit it. β
Alan straightened his crumpled collar and glanced at Kenny, who was sitting in the chair, "Selsi, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the free status of all the slaves in Nipur City?"
"Of course, the god Namu testifies. Sersi replied without hesitation.
"We're about to do it now, and I admit that the process is as cruel as Kenny said, but compared to the 200,000 townspeople in the territory of Nippur, they died as they deserved, I mean the soldiers of the Horn Legion, who have enjoyed the supreme honor for three years, and those honors were not given by Patton, but by the townspeople, and it is time for them to pay it back. Alan said calmly.
"Don't make this so great, we're doing it to grow our power. Kenny tilted his head to look at Sercy, "Don't be fooled by him, and don't forget, those soldiers include your infantry regiment and ....."
"I approve of Alan's proposal. Sersi interrupted Kenny unexpectedly, "I just figured out what you mean, it's a bit bloody, but it's a good idea. β
"Don't make a decision so quickly, you should think about it. Kenny frowned.
"Alan is right, this is our chance, just like the brown bear I killed back then, it was also an opportunity, if I killed that bear a day late, or a day late, or even an hour late, I would not have been able to sit here and have a chance to get to know you. Sersi said in a resolute tone.
"Don't be so pessimistic, only Taylor and Philo's army will be sacrificed, and now the infantry regiment is in your hands," Alan looked at Selsey and sneered, "We can 'escape', why bury those idiots?"
"That's right. Sersi chimed in, "Kenny, let's decide!"
Kenny sighed and nodded helplessly, agreeing to the unwise decision.
After the last bit of wine in the flask, Kenny left the cabin first. He walked into the night, stepped on the snow and turned into an alley, where a man with a scar on his face hid his face in his hood.
"Did Selsey agree?" asked the hoarse voice.
"Yes, master. β
Kenny's eyes are blank, and he replies reverently from his throat like a walking corpse.
