Chapter 232: Betrayal
In such an atmosphere of war, whether it was the garrison, or the soldiers of the city of Petain, or even the inhabitants of the city of Petain, this night was a sleepless night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the tent, the viscount of Ceylon with his bunk on the floor tossed and turned, but he couldn't sleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, all kinds of images popped up in his mind.
Or memories.
For example, Giggs used the conscription warrant issued to him by Alaye to forcibly take away the Kodo Beast Ranch.
Or conjecture.
For example, the scene where Ryan Giggs led a large army to surround him, aimed at his neck, and waved his saber in his hand.
All kinds of pictures, coupled with the hot weather, made the Viscount of Ceylon sweat bead all over his body, and his entire lips looked extraordinarily dry.
Unable to stand the thirst in his mouth, the Viscount of Ceylon rolled over and got up from the floor, and without turning on the magic crystal lamp, he fumbled for the kettle placed next to him.
Two glasses of water in the stomach, the thirst in the mouth is relieved a lot. But in an instant, the Viscount of Ceylon felt a steady stream of sweat beads on his body, and the water he had just drunk instantly turned into beads of sweat flowing out of his body.
The slimy feeling made the Viscount of Ceylon frown, leaning over and shouting out of the tent.
"Come on, bring me a basin of cold water to come in, and fill my kettle with water by the way~"
After waiting for five seconds, no sound answered.
The Viscount of Ceylon, who was slightly confused by the heat and crankiness, couldn't help but curse in a low voice, raised his voice, and shouted outside the tent.
"Come on, bring me a basin of cold water, and fill my kettle with water by the way!"
There was still no sound to answer, just as a breeze blew in through the small open door of the tent, and the cool breeze, which was much cooler than the temperature in the tent, made the Viscount of Ceylon, who was still confused in his mind, feel a stir.
With the clarity of his thinking, the Viscount of Ceylon's observation and thinking ability also returned to his normal level.
"Something happened. ”
"It's impossible for my guards to not react after I shouted twice, let alone raise my voice the second time. ”
"There were no shouts of slaughter outside, indicating that it was not Giggs's army attacking in the middle of the night. ”
"The tent was separated by my guards, some distance from the rest of the soldiers. ”
"So, it's not like the outer soldiers are making any moves, they don't kill all my guards at that level, and my guards can't make any noise. ”
"So, someone must have moved my guards out of the way and swooped out when they didn't react. ”
"And the person who can transfer my personal guard must be the person in the personal guard system!"
The viscount of Ceylon's face was gloomy and uncertain, and by this time he had already stood up in the tent, and did not take the sword that had been placed aside.
Because the two shouts he had just made had revealed the fact that he had woken up.
"Smack~"
The rolling door of the tent was attracted by the sound of lifting it forcefully, so that the Viscount of Ceylon stared at the door of the tent, and with the light of the magic crystal lamp from the outside to the inside, the Viscount of Ceylon also saw the appearance of the person who came.
"I guessed that there was a traitor in my guard, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
The tone was very flat, and the Viscount of Ceylon seemed to be an outsider, and said to Bell who had just come in with a blushing face.
"I am worthy of being the lord who has been in charge of Betan City for many years, this kind of heart, this kind of bearing, I am really ashamed of myself. ”
"But, my lord, my brother-in-law, don't you ask me why I betrayed you?"
Bell still held his saber in his right hand, and there was still bright red blood on the blade that continued to flow to the tip of the knife before falling to the ground.
After hearing the words of the Viscount of Ceylon, he showed a smug smile at him, and deliberately said to the Viscount of Ceylon in an annoying tone.
Nodding, the Viscount of Ceylon spoke.
"Why did you betray me?"
"Because you're a trash, greedy dregs who are afraid of death. ”
"You want to trade my life for your life and the possibility of glory and riches in exchange for Giggs. ”
The Viscount of Ceylon's sudden curse startled Bell slightly, and then turned into a low laugh.
"Haha, I'm a piece of trash, a scum who is greedy for life and afraid of death. But why is that?"
"It's not like you, a wasted lord, wouldn't it be nice for you to be honest like the other lords?
"Those lords who surrender can at least save their lives and property, and those who resist will lose the lives of a large number of people. ”
"You've been growing an army for so long, and you've spent so many gold coins to build the walls, and they've been beaten down by the army of Giggs in one day. ”
Bell's expression was already a little hysterical at this point, and he took a step forward, just in front of the magic crystal lamp.
His constantly waving arms, combined with the light of the magic crystal lamp, made his shadow reflected on the tent like a devil with teeth and claws.
"Then what do you say is the difference between you and the lords in the territories that were directly defeated by Giggs?"
"You will die with the people around you who are close to you, and I, however, have such a deep connection. ”
"You can see the current situation, tomorrow, the city of Betan will be completely defeated. ”
"Don't kid yourself, you don't have any hole cards to turn this war upside down. ”
"And so that I don't get caught and executed by Giggs's soldiers tomorrow, then, my lord, is it okay for you to bother to die?"
"At the very least, I can trade your life for mine, and that's the best news for me. ”
Looking at the Viscount of Ceylon with a silent face, Bell also regained his composure.
"Perhaps, I can still take my sister, your third lady, and survive with me. ”
After Bell finished speaking, the Viscount of Ceylon just looked at his own personal guard commander and showed a miserable smile.
In the face of life and death, what else should not be betrayed?
He won't say anything more, he's a lord, and he's got his pride.
Even if he dies now, or tomorrow.
The sudden rise of his back made Bell a little distracted, and after a moment of silence, Bell said to the soldiers behind him.
"Tie him up, and then go and contact His Majesty Giggs, with this man's head, our head will be saved. ”
The soldiers, who were still struggling, were ruthless after hearing what Bell said, and tied up the Viscount of Ceylon to Wuhua in three times and five by two.
Throughout the process, the Viscount of Ceylon did not struggle at all.
He knew that he had lost everything, and in the near future, he would lose his life.
Two hours later, Giggs, who was on the night watch, suddenly looked at the kneeling Betain soldier in front of him, and his tone was a little strange.
"Oh, are you saying that your chief of the guard, the brother-in-law of the Viscount of Ceylon, has tied up that old fellow from Ceylon and is ready to surrender to me?"
"Yes, Great King. ”
"Well, I accept his surrender. ”
"Then I will retire first, Your Majesty the Great King. ”
Looking at the voices of the soldiers of Betan City in the distance, Giggs said faintly to Alan and Joe, who had already come to his side.
"In this battle, I don't need to surrender, and I don't need to take prisoners. (To be continued.) )
