Chapter Thirty-Eight: Killing and Surrendering
Perry's voice was not loud, but it was clearly reaching everyone's ears at this moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Without the slightest hesitation, dozens of soldiers on the side rushed into the crowd almost at the same time, slashing at the Macedonians kneeling on the ground, and by the time the Macedonians reacted, the little half of them had already fallen in a pool of blood and groaned in pain.
The remaining Macedonians were stunned, and after a short suffocating silence, frightened, angry, begging for mercy...... Regardless of the reaction of the Macedonians, Perry seemed indifferent.
Jose and Suya were also on the side at the moment, although they were not close to each other, but even if Jose tried his best to hold back the nausea, he only felt that he couldn't stay for a moment.
So he turned around and ran a few steps, crashed into the tent next to him, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, and his stomach couldn't help but tumble over the river.
"Are you alright?"
The girl's slightly concerned voice came from her ears, and Jose looked up to see that Su Ya was indeed standing at the door of the tent, looking at herself with a slight complexity.
"It's okay, I'm just...... Forget it......" José shook his head and smiled wryly. After all, he is a person in a modern civilized society, and it is naturally difficult to accept such a bloody massacre.
"On the desert march, Perry has already abandoned the grain and grass and is bent on speed, and now that the supplies are running out, he will definitely not be able to take so many prisoners on the road. ”
"Moreover, the empire and Macedonia have been on discord for a long time, and the two countries have fought more than 100 battles over the past few hundred years. ”
When Su Ya said this, she sighed softly, "I also know that it may be inappropriate to act like this, and it may be cruel, but Jose, you have to understand something. ”
Su Ya said this, her eyes seemed to be a little bitter, but more decisive and hard:
"This is war!"
“............”
José was silent.
After so many days of seeing and hearing, in addition to making Jose deeply feel his weakness, more importantly, he was at a loss.
Even if he survived the difficult survival in the desert, even if he escaped the pursuit of the Demon Scorpion King, even if he got the only inheritance of the Protoss magician, and got enough power to protect himself, or even more powerful......
But why do you still feel that you are very weak, even in front of Su Ya and the guy named "Perry", your experience and courage and strategy are simply a blank slate!
Why is this happening to you?
Passive! and at a loss! Why?
"This is war!"
But now, when José looked at this girl who was younger than herself, and heard her say this sentence decisively and tenaciously, somewhere in José's heart seemed to be touched fiercely!
Maybe that's the answer!
Because they know what lies ahead of them, they know what the world they live in, and how they adapt to the times they live in!
This is war, this is the answer, one might even say ...... Rules!
Although it took me more than ten years to learn all the rules of my own world and adapt to my own time and society.
But it's different here!
Although he only knew it for a short time, he knew very well in his heart what a different world he was facing: a continent full of unknown dangers, even backward and wild.
This is a completely different rule from the civilized world! Even a woman like Su Ya is well versed in this law of the jungle!
He suddenly felt that his previous ideas were too simple, and could even be said to be a little naïve!
This place I crossed into is not a stable world! This place is full of unknown dangers, and I am not like those YY web novel protagonists, just exude the spirit of a king, and the beauties of the country will be taken into my hands!
No one can adapt to a strange world so quickly! As long as a normal person is afraid, helpless, and at a loss!
That's the reality!
But this does not mean that I can't do anything, on the contrary, José is very aware of his weaknesses, and this is my first step, the rules of survival that I should learn on this continent!
In the autumn of troubled times, to survive in such a world, I am afraid that I can't help myself with the slightest compassion, right?
Joseph knew this very well in his heart, even the soldiers who slaughtered the Macedonians just now, not only did they not hesitate at all, but their eyes clearly showed undisguised indifference and hatred!
Thinking of this, Joseph was silent for a long time. Finally, he muttered, "It seems that I am indeed too naïve...... Su Ya, what you said is right, after all, the two armies are fighting, such compassion is really ridiculous!"
Su Ya saw that Jose said this, not only did she not hesitate for a moment, but with a sense of relief and ease, she couldn't help but look at Jose with some complexity:
This guy who usually seems to only talk and laugh nonsense, but he didn't expect to have some thoughts in his heart, saying that he was naïve, but with this understanding and forbearance in his heart, I'm afraid he is a little stronger than himself.
"This person, I really still can't understand him. Su Ya couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
"However, there is a saying in my hometown. Jose suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Su Ya with a somewhat strange look.
"Oh, what is it?" Su Ya saw José's smile on his face, but a strange feeling welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask.
Joseph smiled calmly, but his eyes turned in the direction outside the tent:
“...... Kill ominous!"
..................
When Sua came out of José's tent, she saw Perry's subordinate Barr standing in the doorway, and when she saw her, she immediately gave a military salute, apparently waiting for her for a while.
"What's the matter?" Suya frowned.
"Yes, Lord Duke. Commander Perry has instructed me to wait for you here, saying that when you come out, I will come to him to discuss the next trip. Barr immediately replied aloud.
Suya noticed that his arm was bandaged, apparently wounded in the rebellion, but it didn't look serious. This man looked a little restrained at the moment, and he looked a little nervous and in awe when facing himself, which couldn't help but make Su Ya feel a little good for him.
"Got it," Su Ya nodded, just took a few steps, suddenly turned around, looked at him with a smile and said, "Your name is Barr, right, I remember you, the head of the guard of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Central Army, you are an excellent imperial soldier!"
After speaking, Su Ya ignored Barr's somewhat excited look, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then walked to Perry's tent, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Barr's face full of gratitude and gave a military salute.
A nice guy!
Su Ya couldn't help but smile slightly, and then walked into the tent, and saw Perry sitting at the table, staring coldly at a map of the northwest of the empire, frowning, and seeing Su Ya coming, she just raised her eyebrows and said simply: "Sit." ”
Su Ya didn't have any dissatisfaction, she seemed to know his temperament very well, and she also smiled and slowly sat down opposite him.
Perry was silent for a while, and finally stood up again, looking at the armor on Su Ya's body, he couldn't help frowning: "Are you injured?"
"It's no big deal," Su Ya said lightly, and then asked, "How many people did you bring with you this time?"
"Three thousand! I divided my troops once, and only brought five hundred men, and the rest bypassed Tadam to meet at the Moxi border...... Oh, by the way, if nothing else, they should have wiped out the steppe tribe that attacked you along the way. ”
When Su Ya heard this, she frowned and looked at Perry, but she didn't say anything.
"By the way, tell me about you," Perivan looked at Suya with a smile, his fingers lightly tapping his fingers on the table, "I'm curious, why would the Macedonians send such a strange army, I mean, although this Macedonian army is good, and even has a mid-level wizard, but these people are good for hunting you down...... Or is it too little?"
Looking at Su Ya's somewhat puzzled expression, Perry still looked calm: "If Macedonia learned that you were intercepted and sent cavalry to chase you, then how many do you think they will send? 5,000 or 10,000?"
"Three hundred, plus the Macedonians who had ambushed me earlier...... An imperial duke, no matter how good it is, will not only send a few hundred people to chase and kill, and it is still bypassing the territory of the steppe people, sneaking into the ...... of Tadam so quietly"
"What do you mean?" Suya finally looked at Perry with some seriousness.
"If I'm right, these Macedonians didn't sneak into Tadam to hunt you down, but ...... There is another mission!"
"Another mission?" Su Ya looked at Perry suspiciously, and suddenly said with a faint expression: "In this case, you should have gained something, right?"
"That's right," Perry smiled, "I have more than a dozen alive, including the officer who is not of low rank, but it's a pity...... Although I also used some means, I didn't get much. Needless to say, ordinary soldiers, even the commander doesn't seem to know very well. He was only secretly dispatched by the upper echelons more than a month ago, and these people are not the only ones in this force. ”
Perry continued: "According to his confession, this time they sent a total of 2,000 men, and they entered Tadam from different directions, and the leader of their mission this time was not a figure from the Macedonian army, but a magician. ”
"Magician?" Su Ya was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Is that the ...... The guy you killed?"
"No," Perry replied crisply, and then said, "Based on his interrogation, it seems that this Macedonian wizard is not the only one who is good at magic on this mission. ”
Su Ya's heart moved, and she felt a little uneasy, and sure enough, Perry smiled bitterly at this time: "...... According to his confession, there were a total of four wizards in this mission, including three black-robed wizards and one ...... White-robed Great Wizard!"
Four magicians!
Perry's words surprised Su Ya, if it was just four black-robed wizards, it wouldn't surprise her so much, but there were white-robed wizards in there!
You must know that although Macedonia's magic system is slightly different from that of the Empire of Light, the magic strength of a black-robed wizard is roughly equivalent to that of a mid-level magician, that is, it is equivalent to the level of a fourth-level to sixth-level magician.
But the white robe, that is comparable to the great magician, whether it is Macedonia or the Empire of Light, all magicians can dream of wearing a white robe one day - this is not just beautiful, but a symbol of strength!
The white-robed magician, for the entire continent, is definitely at the top of the continent. Even if you look at the human world, there are only a hundred such high-level magicians.
So when Su Ya heard this, she was surprised and at the same time had a strong uneasiness: what did the Macedonians do not hesitate to send such a powerful force for?
"What is their mission?" Suya asked in a deep voice as she looked at Perry with a serious expression.
Perry put away the joke at this time, and the expression on his face was a little strange: "Speaking of which, it's a little strange, according to the confessions of these dozen people, they secretly infiltrated the Tadam Desert, and the mission is the same, it seems to be ...... In search of a certain ruin............"
