Chapter 214: Belonging 9

In a land of decay of order and morality, Ed truly saw how twisted human nature can become in an evil environment.

Patrolling with the guards at the end, they came to the original cowshed, which had been largely restored, but was now inhabited by captured criminals.

Under the low eaves, dozens of black and thin guys hugged each other to keep warm, but the soldiers in charge of guarding next to them did not even have a place to shelter from the rain.

As Ed approached, there was a foul curse from inside, and the group recognized the leader of their arrest and greeted Ed in their most vicious language.

The young man turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the soldier who was scolding the criminals quietly, and the other party nervously stood up straight, and his lips turned blue and white in the cold rain trembled and shouted, "General Ed!"

"Don't be nervous, how often do you take shifts?, why don't you use the power of the Holy Maiden to protect yourself?" Ed asked as he raised his hand to bless him with a star spirit power, and now he was also trying to replace Di Liya himself to preside over it himself, and it was still easy if the number of people was less than ten.

The magical light passed through the boy's hand, and immediately formed a protective shield on the warrior's body, separating it from the cold wind and light rain, and Ed also did something to help him dry the water on his body.

Immediately, the soldier's body warmed up, the trembling gradually stopped, and the voice returned to normal, "It's time to change shifts, the power that was originally blessed has disappeared, and it's just the comrade-in-arms who is scheduled to take over......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and Ed asked with a dark face, "What's wrong with him, he hasn't come back from his sleep?"

"No! He fainted from crying in the evening. Our team discussed it, and everyone lined up for a little more shift. Let him rest!" Angered by the momentum on Ed's body, the warrior struck a slur. I didn't dare to hide it all.

"Nonsense!" Sure enough, the general let out a scolding, making the soldier's face turn purple again.

"Don't do that next time, you can consult with the captain in charge, but you can't decide on your own! Ed did not continue to reprimand, but softened his voice to remind the other party of the correct thing to do, thinking that the soldier who cried and fainted was one of the people who returned to his hometown today, and the feeling of being ruined was indeed uncomfortable.

"The captain has frostbitten feet, and I heard that he may have to be sawed off, and the matter of the agent has not yet been arranged. The warrior whispered. Don't dare to look at Ed's face.

The young man shook his head and instructed the guards behind him: "Go and report this matter to the deacon on duty, and see which link is delayed, the army can't be so inefficient!" Seeing that he hesitated for a moment, he added: "I'll wait here for you to come back, go and come back quickly." ”

As soon as the guards ran away, Ed turned his head to look at the soldier who was consciously in trouble, thought for a moment and explained: "If a soldier falls on the battlefield, someone must immediately come up to make up for his position, otherwise it is very likely to cause the loss of the entire front?"

See him nod. Ed continued: "Then at this time, your squad is responsible for guarding the prisoners, and each one has his own position to be responsible for, and if one person falls, someone must be sent to the top immediately, in case the soldier guarded by the negative one fails because of the holy power. I fell ill in the rain again and caused these prisoners to escape, who is responsible for this?"

"Of course, I don't disagree with the concern between your comrades, and I don't mean to question your abilities. But if some bad things can be avoided according to the established regulations, then we must strictly enforce them. Discipline is the most important thing in the military. "Ed is not just an arm, he is building an army that is truly combative. So when he had the chance, he would always instill his demands on them, maybe in the future he and Delia would no longer need these soldiers, but until then he would not relax.

The noisy prisoners on the other side were afraid of the extraordinary power released by Ed, and obediently closed their mouths one by one, and Ed also had a headache for them.

Speaking of which, these people were originally villagers in the vicinity, but when they were found, the gang was returning with loot, and in their stronghold, they also found women who had been imprisoned and abused for a long time, and all indications were that they were a gang of robbers who did all kinds of evil.

It was supposed to be the object of liberation, but at that time, Ed wanted to kill them, and the soldiers who saw the cruel scene in the cave came out and vomited, and they all swore to slaughter the beasts with their own hands.

And it is he who has the right to dispose of it, "Let's take them all back to investigate first, maybe there are a few guys in it who are not guilty of death." Looking at the children in their early teens, Ed told himself that he really didn't want to believe that such a child who should have been in his most innocent childhood was actually an accomplice or direct perpetrator of countless cruel crimes.

However, the previous interrogation was very disappointing, no one was innocent, this gang of robbers had been entrenched in the area for three years, the local residents, the passers-by who had fled, and they had been victimized by them, and I am afraid that even the local Ingirs who committed violence did not commit as many crimes as they did.

These are all dug up from the other party's brain by Eddard's own hands, and the torture from the engraving is now gradually replaced by psionic probes, and Ed's research on brain nerves has been greatly improved on one criminal after another.

The execution of these men was planned to be carried out tomorrow at the head of the village, with a few local soldiers in the army acting as prosecutors, and after a small court trial, he Ed would personally execute them all.

Perhaps the other knights would laugh at him if they knew that Ed had used the sacred ritual of the court on ordinary civilians, "Those lowly ants, if you want to kill them, you can kill them, so why bother?"

But in practice, this method of relative justice was applied in every area liberated by Ta Ed, and there were few voices of discontent among the local people, and even Delyana insisted that all the troops sent out must carry it out.

In Ed's own case, he just doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, he always hopes to save those who are guilty and don't die, but there are very few who can really identify the innocent, and those who fall into darkness always spare no effort to pull more people into the water, and the result is that no one is innocent, and their bolts are more or less stained with the blood of the tragic dead.

The liberation of enemy-occupied territory is not glorious, especially when all the people who can cheer for you are dead, and only the villains remain, it is full of hardship and sorrow. (To be continued......)
