Chapter 613 Interrogation

"If there is no danger, he will be dismissed from his position, his monthly salary will be deducted, and he will be confined for fifteen days; if there is any danger, he will be expelled from the First Army and accept your trial, Your Majesty." Iron Ax immediately replied.

"Well, I'm proficient in reciting it, so let's do it this way." Since there is no military court yet, Roland will personally interrogate major mistakes in the military, and Danny's violation of discipline is obviously not up to this point, "but consider Right now it is the juncture of the great war, we will lock him up for five days first, and the rest will be carried out after we return to Neverwinter."

"As ordered."

"You don't have to worry about the reaction of the soldiers. This happens to be an excellent example of propaganda—no matter what credit the person involved has made, as long as there is any violation of discipline during the mission, he will definitely be punished." Roland paused. Dun, "Of course, the army will never forget the military exploits he made. If anyone asks, just say that I have made my own arrangements."

In fact, this matter is also his fault. Although he built a precision shooter team of 50 people, he did not separate these veterans with shooting talents from the ordinary musket battalion, and the arrangement was only as a range. The farther revolver rifles are arranged on both sides of the trench to block the enemy who tries to touch the machine gun bunker from the edge.

But Danny's approach is more like a sniper - freely choose the position, fire freely, and wait for the opportunity to destroy the most valuable target among the enemies. It's not that Roland has never considered a dedicated sniper team, but the latter has higher requirements for firearms, ammunition, and personnel. Especially the personnel, let's not talk about subjective initiative. First of all, he must ensure that the sniper will not lose contact directly after being released, or passively avoid the battle.

Maybe after this war is over, he can make some improvements on the basis of the precision shooter team.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have obtained some... special information from the captured church commander." Iron Ax seemed to be thinking about his words, "It has something to do with God's Punishment Army."

"What is it?"

"They said that the God's Punishment Army can't act alone. These warriors must be ordered by the controller to complete the most basic tasks."

Roland turned around, "Oh? Is there anything else?" Ashes also mentioned this, and it was for this reason that he dared to lead the entire army northward to force the church to form a regiment, otherwise the other party would just send a small group of gods to punish them. It is enough for him to disintegrate the army into pieces and cause chaos in the interior of the kingdom.

"The controller can be an ordinary person or a pure person, but once it is set, it cannot be changed." Iron Ax recalled, "The newly promoted God's Punishment Army will complete the following ceremony on the top floor of the Hermes Cathedral, One of the captives confessed to having personally participated in the conclave."

Roland immediately ordered, "Take me to meet them, and call Agatha along the way."

...

Deep in the dungeon, Roland saw the four captives who were held separately.

If the surface of Yougu Town is only cool and pleasant, the underground can be called damp and cold. All four were blindfolded, their hands were tied behind their backs, their bodies were wet, and although they couldn't see any scars, they were trembling uncontrollably. Apparently, Iron Ax used his unique torture technique. According to him, very few people could survive a day under torture.

However, the believers of the church are different from ordinary people who are being tried. Their admiration for the gods makes them more tenacious.

"Only the two on the right are willing to confess," Sha Min said in a low voice. "One of them is the presiding judge of the church, and the other is the priest of the holy city. The remaining two are unwilling to reveal anything—of course, they don't know their Your partner has already recruited."

Roland didn't know much about the church's system and position, so he asked bluntly, "Who has participated in the following ceremony of God's Punishment Army? Take it to the interrogation room."

The priest was quickly dragged into a small room next door by the jailer, and the iron ax poured a ladle of cold water on his head, "Falat, now I have a few questions for you."

He trembled all over, and then said slightly, "I know... I've said everything, kill me quickly." The priest's voice was weak and hoarse, as if he had suffered great pain.

"Talk to me about the God's Punishment Army, how is the following ceremony held?"

Farat shook his head without answering.

"Listen well, this is the last interrogation," Iron Ax bent down, and whispered in his ear, "After answering all the questions, I will set you free."

After a long silence, he explained again, "The ceremony...is usually held in Tongtian Tower, where only God's Punishment Warriors, the Pope, and controllers are allowed to enter. The scene...must be quiet to ensure that the ceremony will not go wrong. "

"Why?" Roland asked.

"Because the new warrior will confirm the controller based on the sound."

"The first sound they heard?"

"It can be more than... one," Farat gasped, "The selected controllers recite the hymn together, and within a certain period of time, everyone can be accepted by God's Punishment Warrior."

"What about you? Also the controller?"

"I'm in charge of... a team of ten God's Punishment Warriors."

"But those ten people also have to follow orders from their superiors, right?"

The priest nodded, "All God's Punishment Army will obey the orders of the Pope."

So, Roland thought to himself, at first he thought it would be brainwave connection or telepathy to command this mindless army, but in the end it was voice control. This layer-by-layer method is undoubtedly extremely complicated and inefficient. Not to mention that sound waves are easily attenuated, just a conflict between the orders of the team commander and the commander-in-chief will make it difficult for the God's Punishment Army to respond.

"You said that once the controller is determined, it cannot be changed. What if the God's Punishment Warrior loses all the controllers?" Agatha asked suddenly.

Hearing the voice of a woman, Farat was obviously taken aback.

"Respond!" Iron Ax scooped up another ladle of water.

"I have no idea."

"You're lying," Roland quickly got a prompt from Nightingale, "If you don't want to stay in the dungeon for ten days and half a month, it's best not to play this trick."

The priest gritted his teeth, "They... will go to the wild land by themselves, that's all I know."

"Wild land?" Agatha asked in surprise.

"I've also heard that... Generally, other warriors will stop this kind of situation soon, but..." He hesitated for a moment, "It is rumored that some God's Punishment Army that could not be properly controlled went to the wilderness a long time ago. land, and never came back.”

"Do you know how the God's Punishment Army was transformed?"

"Only the Pope is qualified to preside over the promotion ceremony..."

"Then how will the Pope transfer control of God's Punishment Army when he abdicates?"

"No," sweat dripped from Farat's forehead, "I don't know..."

"How was the church established four hundred years ago?"

"Have you ever heard of the name Akalis? What about the Federation and Taquila?"

No matter how much Agatha asked after that, the priest couldn't answer a single word.

"He really doesn't know, let's go." Roland said after getting confirmation from Nightingale, "There will be no result if we continue to ask."

When the group left the dungeon, Iron Ax caught up and asked, "Your Majesty, these church prisoners..."

"Just follow the promise you made earlier." 17-02-28 11:58:43
