Chapter 56: Justification

It was only a matter of time before Dussand's side secured the victory. But the undaunted clergy still inflicted a lot of damage on Dussand's armed security guards.

The human skull, inlaid with precious metals and precious stones, was so heavy that it could easily smash a living person's head if it were to be picked up.

What's even worse are the short dagger-like holy weapons. It is said to be one of the "farming tools" of the Church tradition, and it itself is a slightly curved anti-bladed dagger. It resembles a slightly straightened dagger.

Such a shape gives this short dagger an exceptionally excellent chopping ability. In the hands of the black-clad priests, who were nourished every day and often engaged in heavy labor, the dagger could even cut the rifle barrel directly in the hands of the armed guards.

There was nowhere to vent their anger, and even the armed security guards who were directly crushed by their guns and hands burst out with a shocking will to fight. The tank was firing with all its might, and the armed security guard in a trench coat pulled out the attack grenade on his body, pulled the safety bolt, and then rushed directly into the pile of black-clad priests.

Offensive grenades are mainly attacked by a large amount of explosives loaded into the body of the projectile. Shockwave damage is effective at damaging soft targets while also preventing damage from fragments from defending grenades.

Several other armed security guards took out their "Molotov cocktails", lit them, and smashed them directly between themselves and the black-robed priests.

This life-for-life style quickly turned the tide of events, and Dussand, after firing all the magazines on his body, found out that all the black-robed priests had fallen to the ground. The fire was burning with a pungent stench, and there were corpses lying on the ground everywhere, and the flies seemed to have temporarily left the area out of fear of the fight and the flames.

The smell of blood in Sunset Square was even stronger.

The adrenaline effect faded, and Dussaint began to feel tired and even chilled. He slowly looked around at the scene, and for a moment he didn't know what he should do.

"Woooooooooo......oo Captain, Captain! A crying voice caught Dussand's eye. He turned his head to see a young man covered in blood, kneeling on the ground, hugging ...... Half of them wept.

The young armed security guard in a trench coat was left with only the upper half of his body left. His body, starting from his waist down, was gone. Blood was flowing everywhere on the ground, and Dussander couldn't tell which ones were his.

"Don't ...... Don't cry. The armed security guard, who was only left with his upper body, moved slightly, and he whispered to the young man who was holding him, "Look, brother, I'm not ashamed this time......

"No...... No shame! The young armed security guard burst into tears, and he cried and shouted, "Why are you so stupid, I'm going to report it, why don't you run away!" You've run away every time before, and I can't keep up with you when you escape! ”

The armed security guard, who was only half of his body left, moved his head, and he didn't seem to feel the pain anymore, "This time...... It's not the same. So many people died, only I had a gun in my hand, I couldn't run...... Leyson: They didn't run away, so how could I escape? ”

He tried to raise his hand, wanting to touch his brother's face, "You have to work hard in the future, don't ...... Don't spend money on it. Don't smoke, don't drink...... Find a good girl, safe and sound......"

The hand struggled to lift, and suddenly softened an inch from his brother's cheek.

The young armed security guard knelt on the ground, hugged his brother's corpse, and wept loudly.

Dussaint stood aside, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Just as the wounded at the scene began to deal with their injuries, a noisy "clang" of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the corner of the street. Dussaint and the others suddenly became nervous. The old accountant clutched his injured right arm and shouted, "Find cover and prepare for battle!" ”

Dussaint was standing behind the tank, his mind spinning rapidly. There were only thirty or forty of the more than eighty armed security guards still standing, and the two tanks fired a total of six shots, which was enough shells, but in the absence of other armor support, the tanks still had some damage to the steam knights...... Too slow. You can kill if you hit, and you can hit if you aim...... But the speed between two shots all depended on the gunner's reloading speed.

This is a troublesome point, after all, judging by the sound coming from the ear, it is likely that there will be more than two Steam Knights coming. And as long as these light infantry, almost all of whom were wounded, were approached by the steam knights, even if the other party was not equipped with that outrageous two-inch shotgun cannon, and only needed to swing the armor-piercing hammer in his hand twice, the rest of them would probably die here.

"Tanks, it is forbidden to advance. Slowly retreat alternately to cover. Dussaint shouted into the tank's intercom, then said to the other armed guards, "Prepare to throw incendiary grenades, all ready!" ”

He stared at the street corner in front of him, no matter how many reinforcements came from the other side, it wouldn't hurt to give them a shot in the first place—maybe scare the enemy, and then buy time for his own retreat.

The retreat route was not very chosen, and Dussand's first goal was to retreat with everyone to his own restaurant in Saint-Salle. Use buildings and steam knights to engage in street battles.

Dussaint was desperately trying to figure out what to do, when suddenly, a bright red burst into his field of vision.

A red flag! Dusson's eyes widened, and he wanted to sit on the ground almost instantly, and then, he reacted violently.

This is not a crane, this flag...... It's not the one I'm looking forward to in my heart.

Two men in armed security uniforms crossed the street corner with red flags held aloft in high air. They first glanced at Dussand, then rushed over happily waving their flags.

"Mr. Lord! We're here with Aika's guys! Behind them, six black steam knights, striding out into the sunlight with broken and scratches, white steam gushing out as if the Holy Spirit had descended.

On the streets of Orin, countless newsboys are shouting at the top of their voices, "Outside the nickname, Newsar rebelled, and His Majesty the Emperor issued a purification order!" ”

A red-haired lady walking down the street asked for the newsboy's number, and paid two pennies for a newspaper. She unfolded the number and read it quickly, then carefully folded it and stuffed it into her handbag, and then turned into the alley.

The red-haired lady expertly pushed open a tattered iron door, then stood in front of the man and pulled out the trumpet and said, "The empire has done it." ”

"Sooner than we expected." The black-haired man took the trumpet and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "It seems that Grand Duke Hall has been reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor, and the delayed plan has not taken effect. ”

"So what do we do next?" The red-haired lady ripped off the wig on her head, and a golden hair poured out, and Lorraine asked anxiously, "Our news hasn't been delivered to Newsar yet!" ”

"Then we can only hope that your little fiancé will react." Schultz didn't react in particular, he just continued to look at the newspaper that Lorraine bought, "What is the first priority of intelligence work?" ”

"It doesn't matter what your superiors say about the intelligence." Lorraine said hurriedly, "But none of our information has been sent!" ”

"It's force majeure." Schultz glanced at Lorraine, then put down the newspaper and said seriously, "Of course, intelligence is something that can greatly influence the situation of the war, but it is not all. ”

Schultz took a note from his jacket pocket and handed it to Lorraine, "The people on this list can be trusted, you can pick a few of them that you can trust - let them form their own messaging system." ”

"You can use them for a year, and after a year, everyone on them will be executed." Schultz said seriously to Lorraine, "This is not negotiable, you have to find the candidate yourself." ”

"Why?" Lorraine was a little hesitant, she was not quite able to adapt to this life of "killing people while talking and laughing". "Just make sure they're isolated from each other, and even if there's a problem, the damage should be under control, right?"

"Kill them, and you don't have to worry about me being a threat to the system you've built. This is important for our future cooperation. Schultz shook his head, "The most important thing in our business is not to trust your peers. If you want to build your own intelligence organization in Orin, which operates to rebel against the Empire, you must make sure that every individual, every individual, in this organization believes wholeheartedly, and regards rebellion against the Empire as the purpose of their beliefs and all their actions. ”

He said to Lorraine, "As I said before, you don't know how dangerous what you're going to do...... The intelligence organizations established by other nobles themselves, all because Aika turned a blind eye. And those who joined the noble intelligence organization also knew that their actions were in fact acquiesced by Aka. ”

"But I'm in a different situation here." Lorraine sat down and nodded, "It's too risky to rebel against the Emperor in the Empire. ”

Schultz was silent for a moment and then said, "Such a candidate is hard to find, but it is by no means impossible. Under the rule of the empire, there were by no means a few people who were dissatisfied or even resentful of the emperor. The relatives and friends of the nobles who were killed are the most typical examples. But finding them is only the first step. Most importantly, you need to have a strong enough idea that they will believe in and eventually be willing to give their lives for it. ”

"Kill the Emperor and overthrow the Empire...... This doesn't do them any good in essence. These people have a personal grudge against the Empire, but in essence, they just want to live in peace, or make a profit from it. You need to have a strong enough reason for them to leave their current lives in relative peace and rejoin the 'if they find out' work. Schultz raised his eyelids and looked at Lorraine and asked, "You have good enough reasons to do this, but what about them?" Can you give them such a reason? ”

Lorraine thought for a moment, then whispered, "I don't have the confidence, and I don't have the ability...... But I think my fiancé can do that. ”
