I looked at the purple-faced general in silence. I couldn't say a word. I thought it was a foolproof excuse, but... in this case, it became the biggest loophole.
Seeing my devastated look, the purple-faced general waved his hand and said coldly: "Okay... I've told you the reason. I believe you can die in peace. Come on... drag him out and chop him!"
Wait!
I stretched out my hand fiercely and stopped the guards with swords who were about to pounce on me from behind. I looked at the purple-faced general with sharp eyes. What did they just say? Are you saying that you are at war with the Piaoxiang Empire? Then... Even if you die! I also want to die on the battlefield. The more people I kill from the Piaoxiang Empire, the more I will breathe for the dead dwarves.
Seeing me staring at him closely, the purple-faced general's face turned even more purple, his eyes flashed, and he sneered: "What? Do you want to try to resist?"
I shook my head slowly. Fighting against the general was simply asking for death. If you don't have the strength above a swordsman, even if you are the emperor, I don't think you can become a general. That is definitely not something I can resist now.
I shook my head in despair, and said calmly: "I am not a spy. If I were a spy of the Piaoxiang Empire, wouldn't I know that there are no villages in the Sunset Empire?"
kindness!
The purple-faced general is an enlightened person, indeed... If he is really a spy sent by the Piaoxiang Empire, he will definitely have an absolutely legal identity. How could he make such a low-level mistake
I looked up and down at the boy in front of me. Well... he was dressed in strange clothes, his hair was black as never before, and his eyes were also black. Even if you let a fool choose a spy, you probably wouldn't be able to choose such a person. That's too obvious. .
It's just that it's obvious. Maybe he just wants to use your thinking mode to make you mistakenly think that he is not a spy, but... such a stupid move to forcefully break through the city gate is absolutely unjustifiable and makes no sense at all.
Thinking of this, the purple-faced general slowly raised his head, nodded seriously and said: "Indeed... the possibility of you being a spy is very small, but... during the war, we absolutely cannot take risks, that is to say... even if there is only 1 % chance, you are still under suspicion after all, there is absolutely no way we will let you go just like that. Do you want us to lock you up for the rest of your life? Or until the end of the war!"
I shook my head expressionlessly: "No... I don't want to be locked up. I have very important things to do, so..."
The purple-faced general frowned: "What do you want? Do I let you go just because you have something wrong? That is absolutely impossible!"
There was no displeasure at all from the purple-faced general who managed money. I still said calmly: "Whether I am a spy or not, the battlefield is probably the best place to test. I want to join your army and use my actions to prove that I am not a spy!"
The purple-faced general looked at me up and down in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "Have you thought about it? You know... because your identity is unknown, so... you can only join the death squad. In this case, will you still want to join the army? ?”
I nodded coldly. Rather than being locked up for the rest of my life, it would be better to die vigorously in battle, and... the battlefield has always been the best place to train people, so I may not die!
Seeing the natural look on my face, the purple-faced general was slightly startled and said in astonishment: "Don't you know the meaning of the death squad? That is completely different from regular soldiers!"
I raised my head in shock and looked at the purple-faced general. To be honest, I really didn’t know what a death squad was, and I had never heard of it before.
Seeing my stunned look, the purple-faced general showed a real expression. At this moment, he believed that the boy in front of him was not a spy. Maybe... he really came from a small mountain village.
The purple-faced general explained kindly: "The so-called death squad is usually composed of death row prisoners, some slaves, and some exiled noble servants. Their role is to go to the battlefield to die!"
Seeing that I still looked puzzled, the purple-faced general seemed to be having some fun, and continued: "At the beginning of a battle, death squads are usually used to attract the first batch of firepower from the opponent's archers and mages. When the archers and mages During the gap between the next round of attacks, it’s time for our regular army to charge. This is common in all battles on the mainland. Don’t you even know this?”
I shook my head silently, sighing secretly in my heart, this is too inhumane, isn't this just sending people to death? No wonder they are called the death squad. Isn’t this just rushing to death
Seeing the surprise on my face, the purple-faced general nodded silently and said: "That's right... The death squad is the army that drives them to die. Some people will kill them when they retreat, and some people will be killed when they move forward. On the left and right are people. Die!"
After a slight pause, the purple-faced general continued: "Basically, there is one person in every ten thousand people who can survive the death battle, and he is still injured all over his body, and he is lucky enough to be saved!"
Staring at me closely, the purple-faced general said in a deep voice, "How about it? After knowing what kind of team the Death Squadron is, do you want to join it?"
I nodded calmly: "Yes... I still want to join, because... I absolutely can't be locked up endlessly... I still have important things to do. I just want to know how I can do it." Be free!"
The purple-faced general looked deeply at the boy in front of him. Up to now, he had basically completely believed that he was not a spy, but so what? The rules cannot be changed. All I can do is treat him as fairly as possible.
The purple-faced general smiled appreciatively and said: "Okay... Since you have the courage to choose the death squad, then I will also give you all the treatment of the death squad!"
His eyes lit up, and the purple-faced general spoke loudly: "As long as you don't retreat during the battle, move forward bravely, and survive after the war, then you can leave the death squad and become a regular soldier, and then... after you have served for three years , you can be free!"
I lowered my head silently and thought carefully about what the purple-faced general said. Well... it's acceptable. If you want to lock me up, that's absolutely not allowed. If you join the death squad, I still have a chance of survival!
Thinking of this, I raised my head resolutely and said firmly to the purple-faced general: "Okay! I will join the death squad, but... I hope you can keep your promise!"
Snapped! Snapped!
The purple-faced general patted his chest without anger and said proudly: "I, Zi Qianhao, am also the general of Sunrise City. How can I take back what I say? If you can really survive the first battle, I will Naturally, you will be converted into a formal soldier in accordance with the regulations. If you perform meritorious service in the future, you will be rewarded according to the military regulations of the Sunset Empire!"
I am actually not tempted by the reward mentioned by Zi Qianhao and General Zi, because I have no intelligence at all. I only want to have ambitions now. As long as it is related to the Piaoxiang Empire, I will not let it go.
Some people may say that I have implicated the innocent, but... when they killed the dwarfs, did they ever hesitate or consider whether they killed good people in vain
Looking at the purple-faced general, I said in a low voice: "You are an excellent general. I believe in you... You are definitely a person who does what you say."
I closed my eyes and continued: "Now... please take me to catch the death squad, but before that I want to tell you that I will definitely come back alive."
After saying that, I turned around resolutely, and quickly left the hall under the leadership of four guards with swords. Looking at the group of people gradually leaving, Zi Qianhao smiled and said: "Huh? That's very interesting. He is a cold young man, but... he has the temperament of a soldier. Soldiers are supposed to keep their emotions and anger a secret!"
At this point, General Zi Qianhao frowned slightly and murmured in confusion: "But... this kid doesn't look very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old. What makes him so cold and cold?" After talking for so long, it’s okay not to smile, not even to show an overly surprised expression, this is not normal!”
In fact... I am only 11 years old now, and my mental endurance is basically the same as that of children of the same age. After experiencing the tragedy of the dwarves, how could I still be in the mood to laugh? Similarly, what kind of things can I do? It surprises me!
Led by four guards with swords, I walked towards the west of the city. After passing through a long street, a continuous military camp appeared in front of me. There were countless soldiers in the military camp, and the shouts of killing could be heard very far. Far!
It's different... I can clearly feel that although it's the same training, but... there is something in the aura of these soldiers that I don't understand, but it makes my hair stand on end. This is completely different from the training of my friends in the dwarf village. of!
I felt and experienced it carefully, and finally... I was shocked. I knew that they had something more than the children of the dwarves. It was murderous intent! Bloodthirsty murderous intent!
