Chapter 1,136 The Aftermath of the First Battle
Even though the knights of the Kawei family set fires everywhere, the fire prevention measures in the village were good enough, and the fires between various facilities would not spread easily. This is also the reason why the main business account in Muzhai can be preserved to this day, has not been burned, and maintains a certain degree of defense capabilities.
But this defensive ability is only to the extent that it can resist the attacks of a few people. When the battles elsewhere were over and Duke Kawei's guards gathered to surround the main camp, the outcome here was already doomed.
The old Duke was dressed in military uniform, wearing a gorgeous red cloak and a dazzling golden helmet. Just like the way he stood in front of the legion's military formation in the past, sweeping away all the enemies of the empire as an invincible commander.
As soon as they raised their hands, the Duke's Guards used their chain-hook spears in unison to penetrate the wooden walls surrounding the main tent. They didn't even use horses. They just used the arm strength of a few people to tear down the wooden wall completely. Only the beams and columns are left to support the entire structure, while also exposing the people inside.
They were back to back, some with empty hands, some with only a sword. Better protection is just a suit of leather armor or a round shield. Compared to the heavily armed soldiers who surrounded this place, they were just like beggars, their lives fluttering like candles in the wind.
Kawei Gong's military uniform is quite iconic, at least the people surrounded can recognize him at a glance. There were nobles who had taken refuge in the Rizal family and followed the Rizal family's private army here to fight against the autumn wind. They shouted sternly: "Grand Duke Kawei, do you know that your behavior is tantamount to treason? We are holding the emperor's hand." Your Majesty’s order comes here, and there is no room for you to refuse.”
Kawei Gong didn't even raise his head or look at him, and asked directly: "Who is speaking?"
"I, come from the glorious blood of the empire, a follower of His Majesty the Emperor Kaiji, and a loyal and loyal Count Protector, Hassan Sangeet." A middle-aged nobleman with a tall and muscular build, who looked like a bear, reported. When explaining his identity and background, he seemed to straighten his waist a little more and said proudly.
The old Duke raised his head, his sharp eyes like an eagle under his golden helmet swept over the crowd, and asked: "Who else is there?"
Maybe other nobles didn't have the courage like Sangeet. But from the Grand Duke's tone, it can be detected that he means to give in, and he is not in a hurry to announce his home. Even the knights of the Rizal family reported that they had obtained the status of vassal from the Grand Duke Rizal.
After the Grand Duke nodded, he turned his head, stretched out his index finger and shook it gently, and said: "The order is the same, no one from the Rizal family will be kept, and the others will be let go without any conditions."
As everyone knows, after a nobleman is captured, he can pay a ransom to buy his freedom. If the two armies were fighting, these people would undoubtedly be prisoners of the Grand Duke. Don't look at the two sides still confronting each other. Several kittens faced the Duke's Guards led by the Grand Duke himself. Unless they planned to die, surrender was their only option.
But since the Grand Duke added 'no conditions required', he really released him unconditionally.
Some people were still struggling with the content of the last sentence and thinking about the intention of the grand duke, while others were surprised by the content of the previous sentence. Even for a moment, their minds couldn't wrap their heads around it, and when they understood what the words meant, the members of Duke Kawei's guard had already raised their bows or magic guns.
No additional orders or assignments were needed, they all fired in unison with great tacit understanding. The knights of the Rizal family were either shot into porcupines or exploded by the destructive power of the magic gun, leaving no trace of their bodies intact.
"Grand Duke Kawei, you..." Hasan Sangeet, who had escaped, looked in disbelief. He stared blankly at the dead bodies beside him and was speechless for a long time.
But the old Duke ordered his guards and said: "Gather all the corpses and burn them all with a fire."
Another move that goes against the rules of the land. Even if a person of high status is a corpse, his family will redeem it and bury it in the family cemetery. Setting fire to the corpse, crushing the bones and scattering ashes, what level of hatred and hatred would it take for a great duke to do this? All the people who survived looked at each other in shock.
"As for you." The Grand Duke looked at the survivors and said. Suddenly everyone's hair stood on end and they stood upright, but lowered their heads and listened respectfully to the Grand Duke's instructions. The old man, who frightened a group of juniors, just pretended not to see it and said directly: "I let you go back because I want you to help me spread a message and tell the people in the palace everything about what I saw here. Understand. Already?"
Everyone looked down and said, "Yes, Grand Duke, please give me orders."
"Everything on the opposite side," the old Duke pointed with his thumb in the direction of the automobile manufacturing and R&D center behind him, "if you want, send someone else to receive it. Your Majesty's order, good or bad, I accept. But as long as it's inside If the people of the Sa family show up, as many as they come will die for me. If you want to go back intact, you will have to die unless I die. Do you understand me?"
"Grand...Grand Duke, what are you going to do?" The nobles who are still alive don't understand. Isn't it for the benefit of the automobile center to kill all the Risa family members? Now, not only were they released unconditionally, those who shared the same stance as Mr. Rizal, but they were also agreed to be taken over by others. This inconsistent approach is so confusing that people can’t understand it.
The old Duke smiled horribly. "I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't have time to move out the family blood flag. I just took the human head sacrifice flag here and used the blood light to open the box. It's just right. Now, do you understand?"
Mom! The bloody flag is about to come out, what kind of nonsense are they getting involved in! All those who survived looked at everything around them with bitterness.
Although Grand Duke Kawei claimed that he was only targeting members of the Risa family, in the chaos just now, many of their followers also died under the attack. Even those nobles who came here with Rizal's private army and were well-known did not come here. So one can imagine what happened to them.
Can you blame the Grand Duke? The bloody flag was carried out with the intention of not being unreasonable and only talking about hatred. Moreover, another purpose of the bloody flag is to warn irrelevant people not to meddle in other people's affairs or even get involved, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
But whether you should take out the flag first and warn people before killing; or kill first and then take out the flag to supplement your meaning. Which method should be the correct process for using blood flags? This is a matter of opinion. .
To those who are so angry that they want to carry this flag and fight for their lives, tell them what they should do. Believe it or not, the person on the other side will strike directly with his sword and kill the nosy person.
What's more important is that if he goes to court with a grand duke on this kind of matter, even if it comes before His Majesty the Emperor, will Kawei pay any attention to it? The Grand Duke of the martial arts faction? They believe in talking with fists and communicating with the heart, and don't talk verbally with others at all.
Everyone who was lucky enough to survive looked at each other, and they all revealed the same message - it was painful.
