CHAPTER XXIII
Barron remembered that after General Black had left with his soldiers, he thought that at dawn the surviving people had stood up and accused Barron of saying things about how he had come here and had come to play. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Barron could only stand still and did not dare to move, bearing the insults of the villagers. This is, after all, a dereliction of duty.
Some of the bereaved villagers took out their rotten eggs, and the rotten leaves were still on Barron's face, and Barron had only repentance in his heart, and confessed why he couldn't save the villagers.
"Boom, boom".
The ground trembled, and a well-armed cavalry escorted a luxurious carriage into the village chief, and the villagers hid in their houses and prayed to the Father.
An obese middle-aged man in a gorgeous military uniform got out of the carriage, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Barron standing motionless in the center of the square.
"My general, what's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man got out of the car and went straight to Barron, wanting to get rid of the stolen goods on his body, but how could the city lord do such a thing. He immediately ordered his men to wipe off Barron's stolen goods.
Barron raised his head and looked at the city lord with tears in his eyes and said, "Lord the city lord, his subordinates are incompetent, so let Mark's cavalry run away."
"Don't say it, I know everything," the city lord said as he soothed Barron and turned his head, "Call all the villagers, I, the city lord, have something to say."
Soldiers with knives pounced on the houses like hungry wolves, and brought the villagers to the square, regardless of whether they were wounded or not, and forced them to kneel before the lord of the city. Ed escaped this by hiding in his cellar with his brother in his arms.
Dozens of villagers kneeling in the square this scene is very spectacular, the villagers can't hold back the surprise in their hearts, at night because they are afraid of the knife on the soldier's body, and today there is indeed a person who can make their decisions kneel.
The city lord looked at the villagers who were silent, nodded and said, "Fellow villagers, I know that you are very uncomfortable losing your relatives, but the top priority now is to bury their bodies, and I will compensate you."
The villagers cheered, and Barron, who blamed himself next to him, felt much better, and the city lord waved his hand to signal the villagers to be quiet and continued: "There are shovels here, just dig a big hole in this square, and I will erect a monument to these warriors who dare to fight against the imperial cavalry."
The villagers took the shovels given by the city lord and dug a large hole in the square, and Barron also tried to help, but was driven out by the villagers. They don't need an incompetent man to defile the final resting place of these warriors.
The city lord shook Barron's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be sad, there is an opportunity to make a contribution, don't be angry."
Barron looked at the villagers burying the dead bodies at the bottom of the pit and looked in a trance, what I did was to kill people and protect more people?
When the lord saw that the dead villagers had been laid, he proposed to sacrifice to the father when he filled in the earth, so that the dead warriors could go.
The villagers put down their tools and surrounded the city in a circle to pray by the pit, and the city lord waved his hand, and the soldiers who had been prepared kicked the villagers into the pit.
Barron was shocked in his heart, pointed at the villagers in the pit who were calling for help, and said tremblingly: "Lord of the city, this, this, why".
"Brother Barron, that's wrong with you." The city lord looked at the wailing villagers without any pity in his eyes, but said: "Brother, you think, you are the general of my Silas City, what if something happens to Silas City?
Barron sat in a daze, he had no way to prove that the lord was wrong, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that it was wrong.
The city lord looked at Barron and smiled slightly, walked to the pit filled with earth, stomped it vigorously, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, is it very well buried?
"Long live the lord of the castle". The soldiers knelt down one after another to express their gratitude to the lord of the city with the highest courtesy.
The city lord passed by Barron's side and squatted down his noble body and whispered: "Brother Barron, God knows this matter, you know it, no one will know about it, and there are still soldiers who didn't come with you who have let me be beheaded for violating military orders, don't worry."
Barron clenched his fists and stood up violently, but he was greeted by the mocking look of the city lord's own soldiers and the bright steel sword.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing" The city lord walked to the front of the car and stopped and turned around and said: "Brother Barron, I have one more thing to trouble you, brother, go to the capital to ask for military money, you also know that there is not much military money in the city, leave a good horse for General Barron."
Barron led the bony old horse and watched the city lord go away with cloudy eyes, unable to say a word for a while.
"General Barron, where have they gone, can you save my brother"?
Barron's eyes brightened when he turned around, and he quickly ran to Aihua's side and said, "I can, I can."
"It's been so many years, but this matter is still in my heart for a long time, after all, I am also a murderer," Barron drank the wine from his glass with a trembling hand.
Ed suppressed the anger in his heart, after all, he didn't come for this today.
"Big brother, let's not talk about this, it's all about the past, what else is he doing?" Ed filled Barron's glass and said, "Then what's going on with the Mark cavalry today."
"That's a long story," Barron said after a moment's thought, "I only sent you to Mr. Albert when I went to the national capital, and I didn't ask for military expenses, and when I came back, I learned one thing, the people of the academy were making trouble in the army."
"They also gave me a little face, and calmed down for a while, but when I reported to the city lord, I was considered unlucky, I heard that I didn't ask for military funds, and directly beat me to death row, and the city lord went personally" Barron smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "But no one thought that this was his death."
The body of the city lord was found on the outskirts of Silas, and the militants in the army stopped doing it, and they supported the son of the city lord and became the city lord here, and said that the people of the academy killed the city lord.
Can those guys at the academy be insulted like that? Fortunately, Mark did not attack in time, otherwise, this place known as the Iron Castle would have been taken down long ago.
Ed looked at Barron, who was reminiscing about the past, and was helpless, so he could only pretend to be concerned and said, "Then that"?
"Later," Barron said, slamming his glass on the table, "Later, it was the presence of Big Brother Ari that calmed down."
"Ari"?" Ed said softly, frowning.
Barron looked at Ed's puzzled look and said, "You should have seen it."
Ed looked at Barron and said with a smile, "Of course, big brother, you continue."
