Chapter 7 The wise decision of the commander
After taking a sip of tea, Maglin stood up lazily: "It's actually a waste. I was going to ask you to cut old Nicholas' head and disband the army on the spot and put down your weapons. Can you do it? There is no sincerity, and a small servant dares to make conditions with the Marquis! Take it down, it's so annoying."
A lot of this guy's teeth were knocked out with one punch. Gaff grabbed one of his legs like a dead dog, walked out like this, and then lost it there: "Your Excellency said, tie it up and tie it with that fool." Yodel's eyes were full of tears. How did he meet these reckless men? He had known that he would not come, and he caught them without saying a few words. Isn't this a trap? Night fell, and bonfires were lit everywhere in the barracks. The Wag cavalry standing in the middle line of the two barracks watched the flying dragons circle in the sky and flew to the north. Under the backs of the burning clouds shining in the sunset, the huge flying dragons were as stubborn as the demon gods in the nine days. Their Lord Yodel still didn't come back. He wanted to go there, but he couldn't urge the war horse.
The knights don't know what to do. They saw the soldiers who already had the Magic Army come out of the camp and began to decorate the antler fence for night defense. Then they stood there like a statue. The north wind came out with the smell of cooking smoke and food. The Magic Army had prepared dinner. Two hundred people were alone in the middle of the two armies. Finally, a knight turned over his horse and walked towards the other side. He walked to the camp and greeted him with an accurate sharp arrow, which was inserted in front of him. With a swish, his wings trembled, and the magic soldier shouted: "Hold."
"Where's our messenger?"
The soldier did not answer, but just stood there. The two sentries behind him pulled the bow again. The knight shouted, "I beg you to see Lord Meglin." Two arrows inserted his body into the soil, and the soldiers of Mowu looked at him coldly: "Get out."
The knight endured the humiliation and could only turn back. The two hundred cavalry then turned around and reported it. Johnson comforted them and sat there meditating. All the people in the account were driven away by him. Johnson was there and wanted to make a decision. He hesitated a few times and could only sigh. At this moment, Maglin is drinking and eating meat. He kindly remembers to ask Gaff to untie the two guys for a while and give them something to eat.
Soon there was a noise and a howling of pain from Gev's side. Maglin walked over and saw Bentony beating his father's servant. Yodel rolled and crawled and shouted. Bentoni was beating him like crazy, and most of the soldiers around him were mocking the aristocratic fool.
"I'm going to duel with Maglin. I don't eat these inferior food."
"What was your title before the mutiny? What is your title after the mutiny? Which warrior of the Magic Army is better than you. Maglin was not ashamed of his performance, sarcastically.
"I want to fight with you." Bentoni shouted, "Give me the sword, I want to fight with you." You were just a despicable sneak attack! What a hero are you? If you have the ability to let me go, I will fight against you on the battlefield!" The half-day torture seemed to have easily defeated the young master's self-esteem. The laughter and disdainful eyes of the soldiers around him made him crazy. He kicked the thick wooden pile fence hard and wanted to rush out of the military area to play with Maglin.
Yodel, who was finally relieved, immediately climbed to the corner and wiped the blood of his mouth and nose hatefully. He was not unable to beat him, but afraid of his father's power. Yodel had not given up his fantasy. He thought that maybe Maglin could let go of himself and Bentony. In the face of Bentony's challenge, McGreen looked around and smiled and asked, "The ants and a dragon proposed a duel. Soldiers, what should we do?"
The soldiers laughed loudly, and several stout soldiers came up: "Your Excellency, let me clean up this Lord Rabbit."
Bentoni screamed angrily: "I'm a nobleman, Maglin. You are insulting all the nobles. You wait, one day the Nicholas family will..."
A fireball hit it casually. Bentoni hurriedly dodged and was interrupted by the vicious curse. He heard Maglin's cold declaration. Maglin said, "In the bloody night of the imperial capital, I killed 1,200 people. When the old faction was in turmoil, I killed Sam's loyal 30,000, and this time the Nicholas family will also be completely erased from the mainland. Are you scared? For the sake of his own power, he kidnapped the people in the territory and armed against the country! The Northern Expedition of the Empire is approaching, the Fengshenkou has been established, and the Red Square has become the rear, not to mention your Vag Province. Why do you want to keep private soldiers? Without honor, loyalty, courage to the real enemy, there is no need for a family like you to exist! Kneel down, or I'll kill you now."
Maglin raised his hand, Gif brushed away the bow, and too many soldiers around him pulled the bow at Bentoni on the field. Ten thousand arrows were about to pass through his heart, and Yodel howled, "You idiot, kneel down quickly." Then he rushed up and knocked down Bentoni, who was stunned. He knelt down and kowtowed to Meglin repeatedly: "Your Excellency, save my life. I'm familiar with the inside story of Wag Province, and I'm willing to make contributions..."
"You traitor." Bentoni went crazy to beat Yodel, who seemed to have no power to fight back before. Yodel waved his hand and punched him: "You are the traitor. Your whole family is a traitor!" Oh..." It was Bentoni who bit his leg and he screamed in pain.
The farce broke up under the beating of the soldiers. Yodel, a loyal and brave man, was invited into the military tent by the benevolent Lord Maiglin, and Lord Rabbit was locked in a wooden cage and placed between two bonfires in front of the camp. When the news that Bentoni was so humiliated reached Johnson's ears, Johnson was not angry. He said, "Eat!"
-----
There is no way out. What if you don't eat? Maglin made it clear that the carriage and horse were angering him. It was a dream to attack the joint venture with the Dragon Knight's defense at night. Tomorrow, whether the other party will challenge or not, continue to close the village door and strictly defend, send people back to Wagguan to report to the patriarch, and prepare yourself. Once you attack on yourself, it will be the opposite.
Is it a national reward for rebelling against the party? War-field uprising? What will Maglin do with himself? Johnson smiled bitterly, hoping that Meglin would not attack him immediately. Once the two sides formed hatred, he knew the killing star, and he might destroy himself immediately. The descendant of the Duke's martial arts, the fourth-level magician, is said to be actually higher. Johnson doesn't expect to beat Maglin.
In the barracks of Mowu.
The groveling Yodel is carefully explaining everything he knows about the Nicholas family. Maglin listened to it at will. Naturally, there was a clerk who said everything about Yodel under his notes, and then asked him to press the handprint. Of course, when the clerk records, he must ignore some words, such as the respected Lord Maglin, the great Lord Maiglin, and the most heroic adult in the empire. Wait a minute.
He looks like a dog. The clerk looked at Yodel, who was crawling at Maglin's feet. Maglin didn't even give him a seat, so he let him kneel there. Yodel was not only not dissatisfied, but also said that it was his supreme honor to follow Lord Maglin, in which nearly a thousand words were used to describe Mag Green's greatness and the extraordinary of the Richard family.
"Du!" A bone hit the other party's head. Maglin interrupted the other party's nonsense and asked, "You just said that you are Johnson's supervisor, and he is a foreign department, which means you don't trust him?"
"Well, dear Lord Maglin."
"Then why did you send him to deal with me?"
"No, no, the great Lord Maiglin, although the family, ah, is a traitor of Nicholas and does not trust Johnson, it cannot be denied that Johnson is a fierce general among them."
"What kind of big battle has he fought? Why haven't I heard of his name?" Maglin asked. The man in front of him kowtowed and smiled: "Your Excellency, he actually followed the Royal Knights to fight some small battles in the Red Square. He is not an official member of the Royal Knights. He is a logistics officer. In fact, he is subordinate to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is, the Wagner Department. When the situation was critical, he made contributions to the Royal Knights and killed a lot of barbarians to save the weight, so he got the Rose Medal.
"I'm talking about a battle, or a big war, which he commanded. What was the biggest battle he commanded?
"Ten thousand knights, the suppression of the mob. The year before last, the province of Wag did not report the empire, or the empire was suppressed. At that time, there were 40,000 to 50,000 rioters, and he directed the suppression.
"I see, that is to say, he hasn't fought any real battles. Then I'll ask you again, how many of you are officers of the original empire.
"There are many at the grassroots level, but almost all of them are reserve. They are very nervous about the main army of the Duke, so the children of the family who used to serve in the Imperial Regular Army are all over there.
"Real! Forget it, now you."
Before Maglin finished speaking, Yodel on the ground had screamed. He said, "No, my lord, it's not you, it's them. My lord, I'm not with them."
A ball of ink bloomed on the desk, and the clerk's face twisted crazily. Maglin was so helpless that he kicked him and scolded, "Okay, it's them." The guy on the ground said thank you for kowtowing at the same time.
"Bentony has been caught by me. This arrogant, incompetent and self-righteous guy has no value. The only function is to make Johnson have no way out. When you get up tomorrow, you go back and take Bentony's head to Johnson and tell him to surrender or destroy. I'll wait for him until noon. As for how to convince him, you can do it yourself.
The man on the ground raised his head, and Meglin pointed to him: "Convince him that I will not only guarantee your innocence, but also protect you as a third-class count and let you go to my territory for retirement. If you can't convince him, then you can wait for it to perish. Clerk!"
"To."
"Immediately report to the Duke that the rebellion on the northern front has been calmed down!" Maglin got up and smiled grimly in front of the stunned clerk and Yodel, who was also dull on the ground, "Isn't it?"
"Adult hero!" The clerk shouted. He understood that no matter what, the battle on the northern front will have a result tomorrow evening. Yodel on the ground chanted in an aria: "Ah, great..." Maiglin said, "Get out." He was driven out, treated better, with food and drink, right next to the tied up Bentoni.
"Your Excellency, do you still write that good news?"
"Write a beginning and send it tomorrow night." Maglin turned around and smiled evilly, "Do you think I'm crazy? I put 150,000 pigs there to kill for me, and I'm going to kill them for a long time." The clerk also laughed: "Anyway, adults are really good."
"There are too many people praising me. What the people who follow me should do is to remind me that I have done something wrong. I hope you can remember this sentence and do it."
"Yes, my lord."
"Okay, let's leave this bad thing behind. It's been hard for now. Let's eat something together. Talk to me, where are you from and who else in your family?
"Your Excellency, I'm from Grand Province. My parents are in the suburbs of Grand City, my hometown. By the way, my lord, I have a younger sister. It's very beautiful. I like to pester me since I was a child. Last time I went back on vacation, I saw a beautiful girl. I didn't go home for five years before I knew that she was seventeen. The clerk sweetly talked to the coach about his hometown and family.
"..." Maglin was very shy: "I'm married." This time, it's the clerk's turn...
The military outside the account is in the prison area. On the stake was the exhausted young master Bentoni. In front of him was Yodel, who had decided to turn to Maiglin, and the soldiers looked at it indifferently. Yodel sat there and said to his young master, "Lord Maiglin is going to kill you tomorrow and use your head to force Johnson down."
Bentoni was stunned, and he was gagged and whined. The dust under his feet flew. Yodel sat there with a sad look on his face: "Young master. You have been naughty since you were a child, but extremely smart. The people in the family have raised you to the sky. Growing up in praise, you don't know what the real hero in the world looks like, so you have this moment. It's not me who hurt you, it's Lord Meglin who hurt you, but your father and your grandfather.
"I don't know what will happen to me. Tomorrow I will take your head to the barracks. Johnson will either kill me or order me to fight against the magic army until death. Or surrender, these are not things I can master and change. Young master, when I saw Lord Maglin today, I knew that the Nicholas family was over. The master thinks everything too easily. Alas. Young master, I'll take the risk of letting you go. Don't struggle and don't want to escape. You can't leave. Here is the food they gave me. Before they find out that I let you go, you can eat a little. Although I'm not close to you, I've been with your father for five years. Young master, if you promise me, you will nod.
Bentony no longer struggled. His face was full of tears. Yodel said such a truth in such a tone that he knew that his fate was about to end. The words killed his heart, but his heart was so confused that he couldn't listen to some words. He can only nod like this. Yodell, who vaguely knew Maiglin's intention, actually felt that Maiglin's arrangement of him here also meant to see Bentoni off. The smart Bentoni also saw it.
When it was untied, he was paralyzed: "Isn't there any help? Is there anything else?"
"I don't know. Young master, let's eat first. Eat some, or you shout and beg him again. You know, it's not terrible to be ashamed, it's terrible to lose your life. I can only do so much."
"Would Johnson turn against it?" If you die, he will definitely turn against it. Young master, he has no way out. Besides, even if you don't die, can he beat Maglin? If you can't beat it, you will die if you go back to the family, and you will die if you are caught if you don't go back to the family.
"The family has no chance of winning?"
"Have you forgotten that the master imagined that the circle occupied several provinces and fought against the empire, and there was no hope of victory. It's just that the empire was tired of bullying, and the nobles. Those nobles who secretly supported the master should really hang themselves." Yodel said hatefully, "They may just move their mouths. Poor little support is still hiding, but it's us who play with their lives."
"Hero?" His hands trembled, and Bentoni raised his cup.
In the dark, Maiglin and Gaff turned around and left. After walking a distance, Gev asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency."
"What's the matter, is your heart soft?" Maglin looked back at him, and Gaff dodged his eyes. Maglin, who was often bullied by him when he was a child, has now made him dare not go against any will. A word came from Maglin's ear: "If you are not in charge of the army, whether you are against yourself. If you break the military law, I will kill you as well. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord."
"No, you don't understand. In Wag Province, the other party's family has been entangled for countless years. The iron barrels they have operated have become a malignant tumor of the empire and the vane of their own selfish aristocrats. If they don't destroy them by thunderous means, they don't have to bleed thousands of miles, which is not enough to scare future generations!"
"What that adult means."
"I let him go back, it's just to paralyze Johnson. At noon tomorrow, it's okay for Johnson to come or not. These 150,000 rebels, huh."
Gev's legs were so weak, 150,000 people. Maglin stared at him, looked at the bright moon with his hands down, and said, "What are you thinking about? Anyone from the Nicholas family among the 150,000 rebels will be killed. Do you think I'm going to kill 150,000 people? The emperor will split me."
Gife laughed with embarrassment.
Just after eating something, Bentoni, who was still thinking about how to beg for mercy from Meglin, was tied to the stake again by the military judge who was suddenly rushed, and even Yodel was tied up and beaten five whips. This series of actions made the two of them suddenly heartless. Bentoni was already begging when he was tied up, regardless of any decentness, but the iron-blooded and ruthless military judges were not soft at all.
