[Seeing that everyone is already in the book review area, some say they should be killed, some say they should not be killed... So hurry up and post the written chapter. Don't argue... Haha.]

`

The villagers immediately knelt down on the ground and begged. Some of them saw bloody corpses all over the ground and were so scared that they almost pissed on the spot.

"No! No!" A sharp and thin voice was quite obvious in the begging voices of the crowd. Then a thin and small figure climbed forward a few steps on the ground, hugged Roddy's thighs standing there, and cried, "Sir! They are all forced! They are all forced!" It was the village chief's little daughter.

"Persistence!" Before Roddy could speak, Zieg was furious and roaring: "Can they be spies just because they were forced? The fucking thing made me lose one hundred best brothers! Kill them all!" Zieg was so angry that his face was blue. Just because of a fierce battle just now, the two hundred most elite soldiers he carefully selected from the 20,000 people under his command lost half of them! Those were the best soldiers in the Wolf Tooth Army! It was because of these timid and cowardly villagers! One hundred elite soldiers under his command who had been strictly trained were killed!

"Sir! Sir!!" The girl was so scared that she was no longer looking, but she still hugged Roddy's legs tightly and kowtowed like pounding garlic. Only the bumps were heard. The originally delicate face had already been bleeding from her forehead, mixed with the dust and tears on her face, and her face was extremely miserable.

Roddy tried his best to calm himself down, but his heart beat violently. He glanced at the twenty-two villagers who were kneeling on the ground, including old and young, men and women, all of whom were flirting with their faces and looked extremely frightened. He was both heartbroken and sad.

At this moment, he knew very well that as long as he waved his hand, these twenty or so people would immediately fall to the ground. According to the imperial laws, the whole family of those who colluded with the enemy and traitors were killed and killed and injured! Nothing can be forgiven! These villagers just informed the army of the Great Yue Kingdom, causing their troops to be attacked, killing and injured more than 100 people. The four words "colluded with the enemy and treason" cannot be escaped...

But……

But they are all civilians too!! Roddy was heartbroken! Let Roddy order the massacre of civilians. No matter what, Roddy is absolutely unspeakable!! Looking at these men, women, young and old who cried sorrowfully, looking at the bottom of the empire, these poor people who worked hard for three meals every day... And just two or three months ago, wasn't he a civilian like them?!

What if I encountered this kind of thing?

If his parents and relatives were captured by the enemy and threatened with their lives... Roddy sighed in his heart... He could no longer think about it.

For these civilians, empires, emperors, wars, and dynasties are all distant things, and they are not as important as their closest relatives!

Looking at the uncertain expression on Roddy's face, Zigg gritted his teeth and said, "Sir! Merciless! They have committed unforgivable serious crimes. If they are not killed, how can they lead the army? Why do they explain to the brothers who died in battle!"

Roddy was shocked and glanced at the soldiers around her. She saw that the soldiers were full of indifference - especially the remaining 100 soldiers under her. Looking at the civilians kneeling on the ground, their eyes were full of hatred - after all, it was because of their information that their comrades who had been with him day and night died tragically! Especially the officer of the soldier, who had already pressed the hilt of the sword, and looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"Sir... Sir..." The girl under her feet was crying so hard that she almost passed away, and the blood and tears on her face had already blurred into pieces.

"The imperial decree is to collude with the enemy and treason, and the whole family will be executed!" Zigg shouted.

Roddy gritted his teeth. He understood that he must not be soft-hearted at this time! No matter what the reason was, colluding with the enemy and treason caused such great losses to his army. More importantly, he exposed the whereabouts of his lonely army! Adding these consequences, no matter what reason, these people will definitely not be able to escape the path of execution.

Zigg winked, and the two soldiers pulled up and dragged the girl on the ground away. Roddy sighed and was about to wave his hand, but the girl suddenly didn't know where the strength came from. She struggled violently and cried hard: "Sir! Please wait a moment, wait a moment! I...I have important things to say!"

"You have nothing else to say!" Zieg said coldly.

The girl was already scared and trembled all over. She just looked at Roddy, bit her lip and said tremblingly: "I, I know a path that can lead to the north... From this path to Fort Trier, you can save half a day, and if you go north, you can save a day... I... I can lead you... Please, sir, please let them go... They are also forced!"

Roddy glanced at her, then glanced over the audience and said coldly: "Separate these people from house to house! Then every person who set fire to the fire was caught, and the others...the others were released!"

"Sir" "Sir Duke!!"

Zieg and the captain exclaimed at the same time.

Zigg had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, all those who collude with the enemy, regardless of gender, must be executed, otherwise they cannot serve as a warning!"

"I know! I know the imperial decree! I feel sorry for the soldiers who died just now! But... but have you ever thought about it... they are all civilians!"

Roddy took a deep breath: "I think everyone... except for some officers, most of the people here are born from civilians! We are soldiers! We are soldiers of the empire! The duty of being soldiers is to defend the territory of the empire, guard the homeland and provide shelter to these civilians! They did commit crimes! They were forced to do that because their relatives were captured by the Great Moon Kingdom! But why were their relatives arrested! Why!!"

With his eyes swept across the audience, Roddy said in a deep voice: "It is because of the fault of our soldiers! It is because we have not fulfilled our duties to guard our homes! Let the army of the Great Moon Kingdom rage on the territory of the empire! These are the fault of our soldiers! If the army can block the enemy from the empire, if the army can protect our homes well, how could they - these civilians be forced to do these things under the butcher knife of the Great Moon Kingdom!"

No one speaks...

Taking a deep breath, Roddy continued to slowly say, "I know you are unwilling to give up, and you are unwilling to let your comrades die like this! But it is not these civilians who should be punished! They should not have faced the enemy's butcher knife! Those things should be done by us! Your hatred should not be poured on these unarmed villagers, but on the butchers of the Great Moon Kingdom!"

Still no one speaks...

"Duke..." Only Zieg gritted his teeth, but finally didn't say anything.

Roddy didn't look at Zige, but just glanced at the villagers kneeling on the ground and said slowly: "I know you are helpless and forced to do so. But you have done something to collude with the enemy and treason! You have let the 100 most brave warriors in the empire die tragically! So, I can't forgive you..." Speaking of this, Roddy gritted her teeth and said fiercely as if she had used all her strength: "You, the one who set the fire just now, stand up and accept the punishment yourself! Your family will be safe and forgiven!"

For a moment, the whole audience was silent, and the soldiers looked at Roddy, but no one moved.

Roddy's face was gloomy and suddenly shouted: "What are you doing? Do you have to kill them all!! Is the sabre of the 'Thunder Whip' prepared for these civilians!!!"

When all the soldiers suddenly heard Roddy's loud shout, they couldn't help but shocked and suddenly stood up straight.

"The Criminal Law Team obeys the order!" Zieg shouted suddenly and loudly: "Execute the order!"

Finally, the soldiers moved and separated the twenty or so people. After a commotion, ten villagers stood up, knelt on the ground, and the others behind were pulled back by the soldiers.

"Is it the fire you set up just now?" Roddy's voice was gloomy.

After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man among the ten people whispered: "I let it go." The other nine people also nodded.

"Because of you, the bravest warriors of a hundred empires died tragically! I understand that you were forced to do this for the safety of the captured family! But! You killed another hundred people! You are human beings, aren't the dead soldiers not human beings!! Your family has family! Do they have no family if they die?! You regret your family... But these brave soldiers, won't their families be sad!!"

Silence... None of the kneeling villagers dared to look up at Roddy.

Roddy said in a deep voice: "I will execute you now according to the imperial decree. What else do you have to say?"

All ten people lowered their heads and remained silent. Even the village chief's daughter did not speak anymore, but looked at Roddy with tears on her face. She seemed to understand that it was already a blessing from outside the law to be forgiven by the family members of these people.

Rodie stopped looking at them and turned around and walked backwards. Zieg looked cold and waved to the soldiers of the criminal law team...

After a few squeaks, Guluo's head fell to the ground. He could hear a burst of sorrow cry suddenly burst out from the distance behind him, and then Zigg rushed up from behind.

Roddy glanced at him and said slowly, "Master Zieg, I know you are not willing to give up, but I believe you can understand my actions! I can punish the sinners, otherwise the dead soldiers will die with their eyes open! But those innocent villagers, I will not raise the butcher knife to them no matter what!"

After being silent for a long time, Zigg slowly spoke: "Sir, I understand. Today's hatred will be brought back from the Great Yue Kingdom! If they kill one hundred of us, I will kill one thousand of them! Ten thousand of them!"

Roddy shook her head and said lightly: "Okay, our whereabouts have been exposed, and we can't stop here now! Send the order and start immediately! And... that girl, she said there is a small path, take her with her! If we could arrive at Watt Fortress earlier, we would be safe one day earlier!"

Zieg nodded and waved his hand to ask the soldier to bring the girl up.

"May I have your name!"

"Gardalina..." The girl lowered her head, with a little crying voice in her voice.

Roddy said seriously: "You just said there is a path here that can lead to the north... Can you reach Watt Fortress from this path?"

"Yes!" Gadalina whispered, then she hesitated for a moment, as if she had to be brave enough to speak: "Only my brother and I know about this road... He escaped from Fort Trier through that road. From that road to Watt Fort is a day saving than the road."

Zieg asked some questions carefully and determined that the road was indeed very hidden (Gardalina said that the road was discovered by his brother when he went hunting in the mountains.), but the road was not easy to walk, and he could pass by horse riding, but vehicles would definitely not be able to pass through the rugged mountain road.

"Very good." Zieg glanced at Roddy, thinking that it would be enough to ride a horse, but they didn't bring any supplies, food or food.

"Give her a horse! Can you ride a horse?" Roddy whispered.

"Yes...yes!" Gadalina seemed to dare not look at Roddy again. In fact, Roddy was covered in blood at the moment, and her face was still stained with blood and she had not dried. She looked a little scary.

Seeing that the messenger had already gone down to convey the order to set sail, Gadalina suddenly plucked up the courage to beg: "Sir! You... can you go and save the captured people in the village? They..."

"Impossible!" Roddy simply refused, and then his eyes became cold: "I tell you, the arrested people have died long ago! The people from the Great Moon Kingdom are coming out to find food! Will they keep the captured people to consume food? The arrested people in your village must have all died long ago!"

"Boy, do you still think it's a pleasant thing to hold power now?" Andy's voice in his mind said coldly.

Roddy felt so depressed that she could no longer breathe, and her heart seemed to be pressing on a huge rock with a thousand pounds... He said miserably: "I don't know... Andy... I found that many things I can't understand..."-

PS: I was so dizzy. After reading everyone’s opinions in the book review area, many readers said that the handling was correct, and many readers said that the protagonist was not dealing well. They should have killed them all...

My idea is this: if the protagonist is a heroic character, he might start a big killing. If he is a strong-blooded character, he might use his knife without hesitation.

But the protagonist is not that kind of person, at least not yet. Please pay attention to his background. A commoner born, a person who has just been on the stage of power. No matter how outstanding he performs, no matter how eye-catching he is, it seems unreasonable to become a "famous general" with iron-blooded "famous general". When I wrote this chapter, I tried to use normal psychological transformation steps to describe a Roddy at the current stage. According to his maturity level in line with his current stage, or his psychology, it is impossible to kill all these people.

Perhaps, in the future, Roddy will become iron-blooded, crueler, and more evil... but not now, it is still too early.
Chapter completed!
