Chapter 237: Deterrence and Intimidation
"Just don't think about letting me die. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The skinny No. 1 man lamented, at this step of the field, even a fool knows that he is more than lucky, if it is not for God to bless, he doesn't even believe in himself, if it weren't for his hands tied now, it is estimated that he will directly start to sit on the ground and pray.
But he is not idle, usually when passing by the church, listen to the Bible read by those preaching priests, find out the few sentences and start to read them, regardless of whether it corresponds to the words that should be read before death, anyway, it is better to read than not to read, at least after he goes to heaven, God still knows that he knows how to order the doctrine scriptures, and it is not good to be kind to himself when the time comes.
This is the true appearance of the toiling people at the bottom of this era, even if they have lived a hard life all their lives, but they are slow to abandon their faith, but what does faith give them in the end, they don't even let them know the words, but they still bow down to him, as if he is really the greatest and most holy.
Del listened to the words of the one on the left, as long as he thought of death, the blood flowing in his body instantly cooled, driving his whole body to swing, if I had known that going out of the city would be the end, I would definitely stay on the dock to move the goods, and live a good life with Dani in the future, at this moment he regretted it.
But there is no regret medicine in the world to buy, what is the use of regretting it now, Zoe persuaded herself so hard at the beginning, let herself not feel that she is smarter than those businessmen, you can be greedy for those people's small advantages, I don't believe it, but now it really verified Zoe's words, and I killed myself.
Thinking of this, Del's tears came down involuntarily, after all, he was just a poor man who wanted to live a good life, he never thought that he would die in a foreign land, oh, it would not be a guest to die in a foreign land, now this place still belongs to Genaya, no matter what, at the age of 16, now he is about to face death, compared with these scrawny men around him, it is undoubtedly a little unacceptable.
These people tied to him, compared to Del, are obviously much calmer, for most of the people, maybe alive and not dead, at least he earned two days of aristocratic food before he died, if he was alive, the people here would never be able to eat, they usually live a life of walking dead, there are no ideals and no objects that need to be protected, and they have long been desperate for life, so in the face of death, and full of hope, want to develop in the army, and finally marry Dani, Del, is undoubtedly much easierγ
The shaking of Del's body naturally aroused the attention of the skinny men on the left and right, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of Del, and saw Del with his head down, only a few inhalations were heard occasionally, and the mud under his head was wet.
"Don't worry, head, we're not going to die yet. β
The skinny No. 2 man opened his mouth and comforted, now among the eight of them, Del is really usable talent, and belongs to the kind that can definitely become a talent if cultivated in the regular army, so if these eight of them want to escape this catastrophe, if they don't have Del, they will definitely not be able to do it, so if Del is deflated now and starts to wait for death, then they will really die by then, the skinny No. 2 man doesn't want to die, and he still has wives and children at home waiting for him to go back.
"Huh?"
Del raised his head and looked at the second man on the right, and only said one ah, but the meaning was extremely complicated, that is, with the meaning of inquiry, but also with a sense of disbelief, but in the end the voice was softer, and by the time the word was finally finished, Del's voice had become completely angry, which was obviously unwilling to be heard by the soldiers patrolling around, which carried a sense of hope.
"You see, if they want to kill us, then what are we doing now tied up here, are they still afraid of our 'army' that has been confiscated and has no strength to resist, as long as they wield their swords, we can only wait for death. β
When it comes to the army, the second man obviously sneered, but in the words, there is still some order, after these words, Del also feels reasonable, after all, they are now tied up and sitting in a heap, there is no means of resistance, and the only thing that can be done is to sit on the ground, waiting for these unknown forces of the army to pronounce them to death, in this case, they still did not kill them, here is obviously not as simple as wanting their lives.
"So what are they trying to do? Just put us here. The scrawny man No. 1 obviously didn't believe in the words of the No. 2 man, he felt that Del would believe it because he was young and had seen too little, but he had lived for more than thirty years, and he had never heard of the nobles being treated well after being captured on the battlefield, but he had never heard that soldiers like them could still be treated well, so he was obviously skeptical of the words of the No. 2 man.
"Who knows, maybe they want to bring us back to the territory to be slaves, to mine and build roads for them, or to farm the land? β
The second man did not refute the suspicion of the first man, and he also knew that although his group of people could not die, it was not much stronger than death, so what the first man said was indeed right from another point of view, but it was just the difference between early death and late death.
It's just that these words are not like what the first man said, but to Del, he doesn't want Del to know that he doesn't have to die to feel safe, this is not a good state, so he has to tell Del, the only person who has the only chance to let him return to Genaya, let him see the reality clearly.
Sure enough, after listening to the words of the second man, Del's mood instantly lowered, Genayari has people he knows and his beloved Dani, if he is transported to the territory of these people, won't he never see them again for the rest of his life, thinking about it, Del's mood is like a roller coaster, from the depression just now to the ecstasy of not having to die, and now it is at a low point again.
But compared to the beginning, Del's mood is still quite high, after all, when he heard that he was going to die, Del was completely desperate, and there was a feeling that everything was empty, and now he just had a heavy disappointment, even if it also made his heart hurt a lot, but it was only disappointed, not so that his heart was discouraged.
"Hey, hey, don't talk about it, look, Dodd is being pulled out. β
Dodd is the centurion of their hundred-man camp, the master officer in charge of including Del and others, is a slightly thinner than Dell, but the will to fight is very strong middle-aged man, Dell has met with him a few times, and the impression left is not bad, so hearing the news that Del was pulled out, Del suddenly looked in the direction of Dodd, and happened to see Dodd, who was tied to the ground alone, being dragged by three soldiers and moving towards the place where the knights gathered.
Del looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, this is obviously about to move.
In addition, the centurions of the other centurions and the commanders above them were all arrested by the soldiers, some of them dragged and dragged like Dodd, and even rolled on the ground with a crying voice, and swept the floor majestically, while some stood up from the ground and were taken by the soldiers with a silent face as the arms of the two soldiers, which undoubtedly looked a lot more decent than Dodd.
Del and the others looked at it, and soon saw that the people who were arrested were all commanders, centurions and other commanders, this is not to say that their eyes are good, but these centurions and commanders are too different from them soldiers in terms of clothing, just say that their helmets are different from Del and others, according to their rank, there is a red suffix, to represent their level, the higher the level, the more bright the color of the suffix, so as long as everyone sees the red suffix, they know what level of officials they areγ
"What's going on! What's going on?"
The skinny man No. 1 asked two people in a row what was going on, the first one was hoarse, and the second one turned his head to the No. 2 man next to Del and said, obviously he looked down on others just now, but now that the crisis has come, the first reaction of the No. 1 man is to ask the No. 2 man what to do, and Del is the same as the No. 1 man, looking at the No. 2 man, and the No. 2 man at this moment seems to have become the dog-headed military advisor of this group.
"Who made you talk!"
But it was not the voice of the No. 2 man who answered him, but the soldiers patrolling on the side, and saw that around the eight of them, all of a sudden, because of the shouting of the No. 1 man, four soldiers with spears were instantly concentrated at them, and the spear of one of the soldiers almost hit Del's face directly, and Del's eyes could clearly see the cold light on this spear.
Cold sweat swept down in an instant.
Of course, Del was just taken care of by the way, and the No. 1 man was the protagonist in the eyes of these soldiers, so at this moment, he had two spears pointed at him, and the two soldiers were about a meter away from the eight of them, and the head of the spear was directly slammed into the face of the No. 1 man with both hands, as long as the soldier's hand trembled slightly, the No. 1 man's face was ruined.
The No. 1 man didn't say a word, and finally only made some uh-huh-ah sounds, other than that, he couldn't say a word, the courage to lift the bar with the No. 2 man just now was gone, his eyes were like copper bells, but he didn't have any spirit at all, just like a fish bubble eye, and then there was a smell of urine, Del felt that his pants were wet near the No. 1 man, and after a while, he didn't dare to lower his head, his eyes went down, and the No. 1 man was urinating.
"Ask you, who told you to speak!" As the soldier spoke, the spear gently pushed forward and pierced directly into the face of the No. 1 man, and the blood immediately remained, but the No. 1 man didn't seem to feel the pain, and still looked at the two soldiers with two big eyes, and then he gasped, kept panting, as if he was about to die, and he couldn't say half of the words.
"Old, sir, he's just, just a little scared, that's why he screams regardless of the rules. β
At this moment, the No. 2 man spoke, and the spear in front of Del's eyes suddenly moved to the front of the No. 2 man, who had just opened his mouth to say a word, and suddenly his voice was like his neck was stepped on, and it was difficult to speak, but for the sake of his own life, he didn't want to be dragged down by the No. 1 man, so the No. 2 man still said what he wanted to say, although he was a little trembling, but the soldier finally understood.
"Are you afraid?!Are you arrested?!What are you afraid of!" The soldier who pointed the gun at the second man suddenly said loudly, and the spear in his hand began to slowly advance towards the face of the second man.
This is a model of man-made swords and I am a model of fish and meat, even if you are reasonable, but in the eyes of these soldiers, as long as you refute it, then it is already ignored, what fish and meat can do is to obediently wait to be slaughtered by swords, how can you refute it, this is the opinion of these soldiers.
The second man looked at the spear that was getting closer and closer to him, his heart and eyes were about to rise to his throat, the sweat on his body was getting more and more, and his legs kept climbing on the ground, and he tried all his ways to keep this spear away from him, but even though he tried all the methods, the spear was finally against his throat, as long as he swallowed his saliva, the spear would pierce his throat and let him die here.
At this time, the No. 2 man couldn't help but regret it, he was just a poor man after all, how could he really feel that he was capable of turning the tide after listening to a few words of flattery from Del and the No. 1 man, feeling the sharp object on his throat, the No. 2 man couldn't help but read the only words in the Bible he knew, and prayed for the days after his death.
In the end, it's just half a catty.
"Alright, Kuru, you've seen everything you need to see, take your gun back, the adults have ordered that you don't hurt these captives, and you don't accidentally disobey your orders. β
Just when the second man thought he was going to die, a voice suddenly came from his side, and then the spear in his throat slowly moved away.
"I know, I just want to scare them, the adults don't want to kill them, but they still have the idea of slandering the kindness of the adults, I just can't see it. β
The man called Kuru looked at the soldier who spoke and replied, and then said to the second man and the other people who were tied together: "Stay here obediently, you won't die, you know! If you dare to make any more loud noise, Lao Tzu will kill you, and even if the adults ask, you will die in vain!"
Del and the others nodded frantically, as long as they don't die, things like dignity at this time are really worthless.
Seeing that this group of people was finally convinced, the four soldiers also put away their spears, and began to patrol in groups of two, the first and second men looked at the soldiers who finally walked away, and finally sighed, just now the two of them were almost suffocated by themselves.
Del looked at the soldiers who were departing and had a lot of thoughts in his heart. (To be continued.) )
