Chapter 364: The Rhine Incident on Land
The momentum exuded by a powerful knight made this soldier who had almost lost his mind sober up, as if a drunk person was suddenly poured a basin of cold water, but for this soldier who was also a little trembling, Akira didn't say anything, just slowly pressed down his knife, and then gently patted him on the shoulder, "He's about to die, let him fulfill his last wish."
Maybe it's because Akira is a powerful knight, or maybe it's because Don Quixote's spells still make most of the soldiers, even the officers, a little confused, this blatant act of interceding for the slave was not reprimanded or stopped, even if it was the other members of the Knights, they just watched coldly.
"Click!" A crisp, but no one could hear the sound wafted through the long empty street full of corpses, and the next picture was saved in Don Quixote's Ferran version of the camera, dawn, the side of the sky was slightly red, and there was a frozen slave on the ground, although it was just a back prostrate on the ground, but it could be seen from a hand stretched out forward, his desire for life, a soldier wanted to kill him, but was stopped by another person, of course, the most expressive thing in this photo is the expression of the soldier and the knight, although both of them are the role of executioners, but there is a trace of helplessness in their eyes
In order to collect material for the Harpists' League, Don Quixote has been taking pictures, from the mountains of corpses and blood in the distance, to the close-ups of the facial expressions of the slaves in the distance, some people may think that he is cruel, and even Don Quixote himself can't help but think of a very famous report that he saw when he was still on Earth, a photographer took a picture of a dying child in Africa, and there was a vulture waiting for the child to die, people questioned why the photographer still had the heart to take pictures, and then the photographer committed suicide because he couldn't stand the condemnation of peopleγ
But for Don Quixote, he will not have any psychological pressure, he knows his position very well, at any time, he does not regard himself as a savior, he has tried his best to establish a so-called republic, but it is just for another woman, deep in his heart, this country is a republic or an empire, he doesn't mind, so the death of these slaves will not make him feel any guilt, in the final analysis, this is not in conflict with his life creed, killing is not a goal, but killing with a purpose, and at this moment, he is killing with a purpose
Don Quixote will not feel guilty, and it is even more impossible for Leon to be as cold as ice, in fact, this kind of thing, he has not seen it for so many years, but the scene is not as big as this, he is more concerned about the Akira who jumped out and attracted the attention of almost everyone in the neighborhood, "This kid" Leon frowned slightly, "It seems to be a little too kind." β
"Akira?" Don Quixote seemed to feel that enough pictures had been taken, so he didn't take any more shots, and instead focused on him. Very talented little ghost, but the perennial top three single-handedness in the Six Rings, as for kindness, it can be seen from the records of the tasks he performed in those virtual dreams, he just doesn't like to kill people casually, just the opposite of that Jack, but when he really needs to do it, he has never been soft, so this kind of thing, just let him go, the Sixth Ring is not an organization that stifles people's surnames, and we don't need puppets, so as long as they are clear about their positioning, they know what to do and what not to do. β
"And," said Don Quixote, holding up the freshly baked photograph, "don't you think it's convincing? β
Li Ang shook his head helplessly, "I know, Your Excellency Don Quixote, the most perverted person in the Six Rings is you."
"Ha, thanks for the compliment. β
ββββ
After the slave died, Akira, who was a little depressed, returned to the ranks of the Knights, obviously there was nothing left for them at this time, the aftermath work, such as cleaning up the corpses and sweeping the streets, naturally there would be relevant people to do it, and they would not waste their precious time here, suddenly, it seemed to be in his ears, a familiar voice sounded, naturally this voice came from Don Quixote, "Boy, you did a good job, at least you dare to face your own heart." β
Akira, who was no longer a rookie, didn't make any special reaction, but still followed the team in the direction of the barracks, "Don Quixote, have you seen it all?"
"I directed all of this, so I naturally had to be in control of it all from the sidelines. β
"Oh" for a long time, as if it was because Don Quixote's usual affinity gave Akira courage, "Teacher, I think we seem to have deviated from Captain Jack's will, as if we have abandoned justice. β
"Ha," Don Quixote's slightly slouchy laugh sounded in Akira's head, "Captain Jack is a man who lives in ideals, and unless everyone in the world is as disciplined as he is, the kingdom he aspires to cannot possibly be possible, and as for justice, we have never had it"
"Do you mean he's stupid?"
"No, no, I prefer to use the word naΓ―ve, I remember I told you that if you want to carry forward his will, you need us, the six rings that walk in the dark, and it is like a towering tree, the more dense the trunk and branches on the ground, the more developed the rhizomes under the ground, in order to ensure the stability of the country. β
"I know that my hands are stained with blood, but my heart is pure. β
That's pretty much what it means. β
"However, I always felt that it was unfair to them that these slaves died innocently. β
"The beginning was always accompanied by sacrifice, and their death was worth it. β
"Then how do we decide whether they live or die?"
"Boy, it's such a big circle, that's what you want to ask. β
It seems that it was debunked by Don Quixote, and Akira's soul fluctuations were a little disordered, shy, and afraid, because this question pierced straight to the core, however, soon, the boy adjusted his emotions, raised his head, and looked heroic, obviously, the risk of questioning the superior is very great.
"So," Don Quixote said lightly after laughing a few times, "you kid is quite likable at this point, that is, people are simpler, then I will tell you, I can decide their life and death, because I have power that is beyond their reach, and in the world of Ferron, power is everything!"
"Your Excellency Don Quixote, you are such a genius," in a secret room, a guy who looked like a human, but was actually supposed to be a pure-blooded old elf, was admiring the photos taken by Don Quixote, "The goddess of life, I swear, these photos, with the corresponding text, will definitely cause a huge sensation, but," said the old elf, put the photos together," The Harpermen's League is always neutral, so it won't be biased towards you linguistically, but it's okay to tease the fallen Sky City a little. β
"It's natural," Don Quixote said calmly than the elation of the old elf, "but I hope this picture," Don Quixote pointed to Akira's, "to take up a little more space." β
"No problem, I'll add a text as I see fit. β
"That's the best," said Don Quixote, standing up, "and then I won't bother." β
"By the way," the old elf didn't stop Don Quixote, because he also had to rush to the draft, and the sooner the news was such a thing, the more attractive it would be, "My lord would like to communicate with you." β
"Communication?" Don Quixote nodded slightly, "Okay, I see"-
During the day, a heavy snowfall did not hinder the enthusiasm of the people of Sambia, because if you don't work, you won't have food, and if you don't eat, you will starve to death, so the streets are still bustling with people, and the snow on the road is gradually being trampled, it seems that the pre-dawn massacre did not have much impact on these people, but Don Quixote, who walked through the crowd of followers, sensitively noticed something different with his talent as a soul mage.
The efficiency of the Harpermen's League was unquestionable, and by the time everyone had begun their work, the newspapers about the massacre had appeared in the newspapers as the biggest news in recent times, and indeed in the entire world of Ferron, and had taken up a great deal of space.
As the old elf said, the text in the newspaper is decent, but it only describes the whole process of the largest rebellion in the history of the Germanic Empire, in order to be more vivid, several photos are also inserted, and the Harpist League, which has always liked to be named, did not miss this opportunity, while satirizing the over-repressive rule of the Germanic Empire, it also spoofed and gave the event a name, "The Rhine Incident on Land" As for why this is a spoof, it is because the "Rhine Incident" was the fuse for Rommel to launch a war to unify the Germans a long, long time ago, so this irony is also a secret reference to the fact that the Germanic Empire will not be long
Seeing this title, Don Quixote couldn't help but smile and shook his head, he knew very well that once this newspaper was seen by Rommel, with her temper, she would definitely close the door and drop the pillow, after all, that incident was her proud work, of course, Don Quixote, who was walking on the cold street, did not want to pay attention to these, but the reaction of most civilians after seeing the newspaper, and the result also made him very satisfied, and the well-designed text and pictures planted a hint in the hearts of most civilians, for the disgust of the ruling class, and at the same time for the understanding of the army, they only acted on ordersγ
In this way, when the uprising really comes, and let these civilians see the dawn of hope, they will not hesitate to join the new political system, which will indirectly dilute the turmoil caused by the change of power, and the contradictions between the military and the people will also be reduced. So there is also a shadow of some religious system in it, that is, you can kill me, but you can't force me to believe in you.
In the Sixth Ring Base, because all the seeds have gone out to perform the task, it seems to be a little empty, and it is also in the consideration of conservation, most of the area has been closed again, and the water and spirit can be stopped and the heating can be stopped, and the students are gone, and the teachers are naturally idle, so it is still daylight, but Jishen Rommel is also soaked in the big bathtub, and he is reluctant to come out for a long time and leave the warm water.
"Wow~" Rommel, who squinted his eyes, raised a hand hidden in the water and slowly approached his lower abdomen, of course, she didn't suddenly feel like she wanted to rub it or something, she just wanted to touch the long scar on her stomach.
"He said to remove it, wouldn't I be very faceless"
"It's okay to get rid of it, now I don't have anything to do with a man anymore, what's the use of keeping it?"
In the end, the villain who appeared behind Rommel's head won the victory, which also made her determined (to be continued). )
