Section 40 Trial

At the top of the Grace Quarry, next to the newly built command post, there is a large cellar.

The cellar was supposed to be built by some powerful person overseeing the quarry laborers to store vegetables and meat, as evidenced by the good ventilation and carved ice magic runes.

As soon as Buck led the coalition forces of Yekjar to occupy the quarry, he ordered the cellar to be cleared for the navy's favorite ale.

Now, it is being used by Buck to imprison Belém-Val.

"Tick" yesterday scared the rain for a whole day, making the cellar very damp, many places are still dripping small droplets, the echoing sound makes the dark cellar present a very strange atmosphere.

Accompanied by his entourage, Buck slowly held on to the wet and cold wall of the cellar entrance and walked down step by step, the thick soles of military shoes and the ground with water swelled touched, making a very special sound echoing at the cellar entrance, attracting the shirtless guards in the cellar because of the heat.

"Boss!"

"Call the general, or the lord. Buck's entourage corrected him.

"Yes! One of the sailors at the head gave an exaggerated military salute.

"How's the man?" Buck ignored the sailor's rudeness.

"It couldn't be better, I should have fallen asleep by now. ”

"Can you fall asleep in such a hot place?" Buck was overwhelmed by the sweltering heat as soon as he entered the cellar, but he didn't uncover his tight uniform.

"Maybe I fainted..."

"Didn't you tell you not to be tortured?"

"No need to torture, just scare and scare him!" explained the sailor at once under Barker's stern gaze, and the ridicule on his face disappeared in an instant.

Buck frowned and subconsciously moved away from the heat-emitting torches and walked towards the inside of the cellar.

In the darkest corners of the cellar, under the shelves eroded by the humid air, Belén Val lay limp in an admiral's uniform, the sky-blue uniform covered in stains, and the cuffs and exposed back stained with bright red blood.

"We lost two brothers to capture this bastard alive, and it's like cutting off his neck with a knife and taking his head to feed the fish!" said the sailor leader next to him, looking at Belen-Val lying on the ground.

Buck ignored his men's complaints, he looked at the chains that were holding Beren-Val's hands and feet with magical runes, and nodded quietly as he listened to the clear breathing of the other man.

"Let him sit in a chair!"

Barker's indifferent voice echoed in the cellar, and the originally dark cellar was also lit up by these words.

Belen-Val, who was lying on the ground, immediately moved when he heard this, and he raised his head buried in the wet ground, and looked at the place where the fire was most shining and met a pair of indifferent eyes there.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Belém-Val let the two soldiers push him down on a wooden chair, his bloodshot eyes as fierce and terrifying as predatory wolves in the dim light. But alas, this is a wild wolf in captivity.

"What do you think I'm bringing you here?" Buck's smile in the conference room had faded, and the grim reaper's cold words had made the entire cellar seem to cool down a lot.

"Hehehe...... Hahaha......"

A low laugh echoed through the cellar, and soon it turned into unbridled laughter.

"I know what you're suspicious of, but what you're doing right now is wrong, I'm not the one you suspected!" Belén Val grinned and held his chained hands and said, "Untie this for me...", he didn't have too much nervousness on his face, or he deliberately pretended to be very calm, "You're not going to let me talk to you like this, are you?"

"Are you taking this as a chat?" Buck winked at the sailors around him.

The sailor stepped forward with some reluctance when he saw the commander's order, and deliberately shook the key in his hand so that it "clanged", and when he untied the bracelet, he deliberately pulled it twice, causing Belen-Val to "hum" twice.

Buck behaved patiently, waiting quietly for the sailor to untie the chains, and after Belém-Val had moved his wrist, he said, "Now, you can talk about it." ”

"Are you going to—" Belén Val looked left and right, "just like that?"

"What? Do you want me to give you a banquet and ask two dancers to accompany you?"

"Of course I'd like to talk in that environment if I could!" Belen-Val made a little joke and looked at Buck, "What do you want to know?"

"All of all, you don't have any idea of leaving anything to chance... To tell you the truth, the werewolf army has taken control of the Yekjar military port, and when patrolling the city, they have found many strongholds of evil gods, and some people have even built evil altars. As he spoke, Buck took out the half-smoked cigar from his leather pocket and lit it on the torch next to him.

Belén-Val's eyes shrank suddenly, as if he saw something terrible, and his pretense of composure was almost broken. He subconsciously lowered his eyelids, letting the shadows obscure his expression at the moment, and controlled his mind and said, "The Undead Legion preaches that it can preserve thoughts forever, so I don't expect anyone to believe in evil powers... Can you guarantee that there are no people in Crewe who believe in evil powers?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I can tell you with certainty that there will be no gathering of evil beliefs in Crewe City, let alone blatantly erecting evil altars!" Buck's patience was obviously running out, "According to the information sent by the Werewolf Legion, nearly thirty percent of the officials in the port city have a tendency to move closer to the evil energy!"

"You've interrogated all the port officials, and we can ally now!"

"Your idea is so childish and ridiculous!" Buck pointed to the smile on his face at the moment, "I was polite to you, and you really think of yourself as a person?

"You—" Belen-Val blushed when she heard these words and subconsciously tried to get up, but was immediately pressed down by the sailor next to her.

"Tell me how you managed to connect with the Undead Legion, right?" Buck didn't want to waste time with Beren-Val, so he opened his mouth and charged him with collaborating with the enemy and treason.

"I haven't had any contact with the undead, and I've never been to a party that preaches evil gods. Belén Val said it slowly, and he spoke every word clearly.

Buck glanced at the officer who was recording next to him and asked, "Remember the unrest that happened in Drake City not long ago?"

"Of course!"

"According to the information from the Mage Tower, His Majesty and the Military Department have only sent one letter of inquiry to the Yekjar Military Port, and all the other inquiries and orders that follow have been forged by Sylvestre, the 'betrayal' of the Mage Tower!" Buck's tone was flat as if he was chatting with an old friend, and when Belen-Val's face changed drastically, he grinned and said:

"But... Sylvester forged only eight letters, which were exposed in advance on the night of my landing at the port of Yekjar, and hastily launched a rebellion, that is... The last fake letter was not forged by Sylvester at all!"

Buck took two steps toward where Belén Val was, stared into Belém-Val's eyes with a cold slump, and asked, "You tell me... Who forged the last false order?"

"That's why you suspect me of connecting the Undead Legion?" Belen-Val looked up at Buck with a smile that surprised him.

Buck then asked, "You forged the last order letter, right?"

"That's right, I faked it. Belen-Val admitted it very simply, so simply that Buck subconsciously showed surprise.

"You admit..."

"Since I can admit this, I'm not afraid to tell you that this is an order from Elok City!" Belen-Val didn't seem to notice that Buck was trying to speak, "The night before the rebellion in Drake City, the Allied Command in Elok City held a military meeting... In that meeting, Bowen Wright vetoed our Navy's plan to continue advancing into the interior of the Iruk Territory because of an intelligence. ”

"But the principality's top brass is not willing to wait any longer, they want to end this war as soon as possible... It turns out that they are right, do you look at the current Elok Territory, and is it necessary for the Duchy government to exist?" Belen-Val had a self-deprecating smile on his face at the moment.

"Do you mean that you are merely carrying out the orders sent to you by the upper echelons of the Principality?" Buck looked down at Belen-Val, "Can I understand that the top of the government of the Principality of Suluk has already betrayed their people and is ready to cooperate with the undead legions to devour the citizens of El Luk City!"

"If we have such a plan, do we have to wait until now?" Belen-Val said a little loudly, after all, the current army of the Krurian Kingdom and the Mage Tower in Iruk City has an absolute advantage, if Buck uses him to confirm the crime, then the rule of the northeastern region of the Eluk territory will be handed over to the Krulian Kingdom at any time.

"Is this what you arrested me for?Or is it Pedy Reagan's order?" Belén Val wanted to stand up again, but was naturally immediately pressed down by the guard next to him, "We have already signed the agreement, as long as this war is over, everything in the Principality of Suluk is Pedi Reagan, can't we even wait for this time?"

"Do you really think of yourself as a person?" Buck said indifferently, "You don't need to be ordered by Your Majesty to capture you personally, with my current authority, I can find at least ten reasons to capture you, and I suspect that your connection to the Undead Legion is only one of them." ”

"I didn't have the undead army connected at all!"

"You yourself have confessed to forging the kingdom's command letter... If you submit that confession, even the most upright judge will convict you of 'treason!'" Buck took two steps forward and then took a step back, "I advise you to tell the truth, as long as you confess to the other degenerates in Port City and El Luk City, I can let our paladins cleanse your soul and make you a normal human again." ”

"I said I didn't connect to the Undead Legion, and you can't take everything away from me with a forged letter!" Belen-Val finally couldn't control his emotions, his roaring voice echoing in the cellar, the humid and stuffy environment making his face sweat as if it had just come out of the bath.

Buck looked at Belen-Val's excited expression, but there was a slight smile on his indifferent face. However, his smile at the moment was full of murderous intent, and there was no peace in the past, "Do you think that anyone can forge the code of the Kingdom Military Department? Do you really think of us as stupid, or are you stupid yourself?"

Buck shouted out this sentence, and after shouting, he opened the forged order letter, pointed to the seal on it and glared at Belen-Val and said coldly: "You just said that it was an order given by the authorities of the Principality of Suluk the night before, and you forged this order letter the next day?"

"Yes, that's true..."

"Are you so stupid, or do you think I'm stupid!" Buck interrupted Belen-Val's explanation, "If the order letter from the Kingdom Military Department could be copied so easily, we would have been doomed a long time ago. ”

Buck stepped forward again and growled, "Tell me you know everything... Remember, it's everything!"

"That's all I know!" Belen-Val looked at Buck's face as if he was about to swallow him alive, and his nervous mood was somehow relieved somehow.

"What order did your boss give you..."Buck clearly saw the change in Beren Val's expression, he immediately realized that he was in too much of a hurry, so he immediately took two deep breaths to keep himself calm while staring at Belén Val and asked, "I want you to say it word for word." ”

"I was woken up just after I fell asleep, how do I remember it so clearly..."Belen-Val's white teeth and the bloody scabs on his face were a little terrifying in the light of the cellar fire, and he said in a teasing tone, "But... The Ministry of Defense didn't ask me to copy your military headquarters' order letter, they just asked me to find a way to trick you into continuing your advance towards Elok Territory. ”

Buck nodded subconsciously when he heard this.

It is not surprising that the Duchy authorities had such a plan at that time, they were able to weaken the kingdom's influence in the port of Yekjar with the help of the undead legions, and they could also test the undead legions with the kingdom's army, how could such a good deal not be done?

"So, whose idea was to copy the order letter from the military department, and by whose hand?"

Beren-Val was silent for a few seconds before saying, "One of my staff officers suggested that I do this, and the letter of command was also copied by him, and... He also arranged for someone to send the letter from the Mage Tower. ”

"You can rest assured that such an important matter will be handed over to a small staff officer?"
