(525) Betrayal and loyalty
Of course, all those present locked their hateful gaze on one person
βColonel Serge.
This man is a short, middle-aged man,
Wearing the uniform of a red officer representing the King's Army, he is the diplomatic envoy of the King's Army to the Rebel Army, responsible for liaison and negotiation.
He was well-dressed, with the rank of colonel on his shoulders, and two lieutenant lieutenants under his command, all three of whom were trembling with trepidation.
Andy asked calmly:
"This is a naked betrayal! Mr. Serge, you'd better explain. β
The atmosphere became tense, and a veteran of the Volunteer Army opened the rifle safe, the bayonet on the barrel of the gun flashing cold, and they only waited for Andy to give the order to bring the traitor to justice.
Seeing that the thousands of volunteer soldiers around him all wanted to kill him, Colonel Serge and his two lieutenants fell to their knees in fright, regardless of their well-made pants:
"Don't shoot! This...... This...... I really...... Really don't know what's going on!
Wronged! I haven't been back for a long time, and I have no idea what's going on at headquarters......
It's true...... It's really none of my business!
I...... By the lives of my seventy-year-old mother and my forty-year-old wife, and three children, I am not involved in this conspiracy! β
Andy saw that this man's words were sincere, and it didn't seem like he was lying, so he ordered his men to put down their knives and guns, and spare him for the time being.
A light cavalry scout rode up to the crowd:
"Boss Andy, the enemy is storming the Grand Theater, but fortunately, the sapper brothers have built barricades there and held off the attack for the time being.
The good news is that we have captured a prisoner, who is dressed like an officer of status. β
"Very good, bring him here!"
The captives, bound sturdy with thick twine, were brutally thrown to the ground,
This man doesn't look very old, at most in his early twenties.
Apparently a good-looking young man of Solan aristocrats, dressed in a gorgeous officer's dress, as if he was going to attend a salon banquet, he looked out of place with the chaotic surroundings,
A handsome face was swollen like a pig's face.
"Oh, man...... I want to eat smoked pork face dishes! Samantha quipped.
"Then what are you waiting for, our eldest sister has spoken, tie this traitor to the grill! Bring up some coal! Another female rebel commander chimed in.
Although it was only a joke, it also scared the captured young officer a lot:
"Coal...... Grill? Other...... Other! I've got schistosomiasis, and if you eat me, you're all unlucky! β
"Huh? ...... you are," Colonel Serge, the liaison officer of the King's Army, rushed impatiently at the captive, apparently seeing an old acquaintance:
"My old man! Isn't this Major Jerry of the 6th Division? β
"Tse...... Mr. Serge? Is that you? Why are you here? β
"Nonsense! Of course it's me! I've been sent to the rebels as a liaison officer for a long time! β
"It's great to see you...... Help me intercede, they will give me ......"
"You two...... Shut up! β
Samantha, the female general of the rebel army, reminded viciously: "Hey, hey, hey...... Two noble gentlemen, don't you see that there is a war going on in this city?
Don't talk about the old here, first explain the rebellion of your king's army, otherwise neither of you will want to live! β
"yes, I'm going to confront him!" Colonel Serge rushed over and grabbed the young man by the collar, and sprayed him in excitement:
"Hey! Jerry! What are you doing in the Sixth Division?
Crazy? Why attack our allies? β
"Hey......" The young man sighed, his tone full of helplessness:
"It's a pity that Marshal Horus destroyed the King's army with his own hands."
"How?" Colonel Serge was shocked: "He really betrayed?" β
"That's right, it all started because of him."
"No reason? What the hell is going on? β
"Half a month ago, the marshal received a letter and since then has been suspicious and sleepless all night, which, according to information leaked by the Secretariat, mentions strange words such as otherworldly gods and the day of destruction.
One afternoon later, Marshal Horus received Voodoo envoys at the headquarters, and immediately signed a treaty with them to formally form an alliance, so that the alliance between the King's army and the slave rebels was automatically nullified.
The Dark Sect Jarmond seemed to have agreed to some kind of condition for the marshal, something he could not refuse, which made Horus determined to betray him.
The banner of King Solan at the headquarters of our King's Army was lowered and replaced with the flag of the Cathar.
This was clearly a blatant betrayal, and the opposition intensified, and the king's army was immediately and mercilessly suppressed and followed by a secret execution.
The hidden voodoo followers in the army were given the power to enforce military law, and a terrible purge began, and all those who did not want to participate in the betrayal suffered misfortune.
Many of my friends were killed, and my former relatives and friends turned against each other, and everyone was in danger for a while.
Marshal Horus was well-connected and had many cronies,
My superior, the commander of the 6th Division, General Lopez, was the son-in-law of the marshal, and the officers and men of the 6th Division naturally joined the ranks of the betrayers.
To tell you the truth, I don't feel good in my heart, but I can't help it, the preachers are too brainwashed, there are too many voodoo believers hidden in the army, and if you don't obey orders, you will be killed, so I have to do what they ask me to do and open fire on our former allies.
But there were also many high-ranking generals who refused to carry out the marshal's orders, most of them were killed, and a few escaped and led the army out of the command of the headquarters.
In short, the situation was chaotic, and the King's army was divided into two factions.
Marshal Horus's faction, which has a large area of land and an army, has apparently lost his allegiance to the royal family of Solan, and has instead turned to the Dark Sect Diamund, who is determined to betray everyone.
Many of the generals who escaped the purge and managed to flee called themselves loyalists.
They still have a lot of followers, career officers and soldiers, I estimate at least 100,000.
But they had no big cities or fortresses to rely on, no money, and no supplies, so they relied on villages and towns to set up military camps, and despite their difficult circumstances, they remained loyal to the royal family of La Falette and used the flag of the Kingdom of Solan.
They pledged allegiance to Prince Ingram Lafalit, who had been missing for a long time, and accepted him only as their monarch, and were willing to fight to the end for it. β
The young officer knelt down and apologized:
"I'm sorry...... Brother Serge, I'm a coward, I can't let go of my wealth and title, and I don't want to take responsibility and toil,
I...... I actually led my troops to open fire on my allies, and I almost killed you, dude...... I'm sorry! The two of them immediately hugged their heads and cried.
