Chapter 1514: Hypocrisy
I don't know if the Internet can be repaired today. For a person who lives on the Internet, what would it be like without the Internet? Do you know?
-----------------
Therefore, at most, the police officers in the town drew out their pistols and wounded one or two pikemen, after which all resistance would be quickly extinguished.
Men, including children, were quickly killed, while women were divided up by grinning soldiers, carried on their shoulders, and entered the house to do that indescribable thing.
When the bloody massacre stopped, only a few women could survive in the entire town, and the soldiers put on their belts contentedly, and left the town with the women and the looted property on their shoulders.
This is simply a human tragedy.
But Wei Xiaobei knew that for those soldiers, in their hearts, it was a just battle against the invaders.
Those townspeople are descendants of the invaders!
And even the town that was willing to surrender did not end well.
If it was near King Arthur's territory, these townspeople would probably be moved to King Arthur's territory to serve as coolies and slaves, but during this march, it was impossible to do so.
In order to avoid trouble and leakage of news, the townspeople who surrendered will still be killed, and those soldiers did more than that. They even set fire to the surrendered town to obliterate what they had done.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help being a little speechless.
You know, through the experience of getting acquainted with Zhao Yun, Wei Xiaobei originally believed that the human beings in the gray world, as long as they are intelligent, can still establish friendship and release goodwill through communication.
In fact, on the land of China, most of the ancient armies that invaded reality, except for a small part, signed an alliance with the Chinese government, and instead became the vanguard army to fight back against the invading monsters from the gray world.
But judging from the performance of these ancient British troops in front of them, they should undoubtedly belong to the category of non-communication.
But having said that, in the history of Europa, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Because they have not formed a unified regime, they have split into countries, and the noble territories under each country are also divided into layers, and these noble territories are equivalent to small semi-independent countries.
Due to historical reasons and poor output,
Many countries like to launch wars to plunder more land and feed more people.
And it is inevitable that there will be casualties in this war. Over time, it will be difficult to resolve the accumulation of hatred.
As for indulging the army to wantonly plunder and kill the people of the enemy country during the war, it is even more commonplace, and this makes hatred more difficult to resolve.
As far as Wei Xiaobei knows about history, at the beginning of the fifth century AD, Anglo and other tribes from the Europa continent began to invade Britain, which led to the demise of the aborigines in Britain.
And King Arthur is said to be a figure in the fifth century AD, and he may even have fought with Anglo and other tribes.
The modern Eagles are the descendants of the Angles.
In this regard, Wei Xiaobei may not be able to see the difference in appearance between King Arthur's side and the people of the modern Eagle Kingdom, but those Knights of the Round Table can easily identify it.
Of course, even if they were the descendants of the enemy, Wei Xiaobei felt that what the Knights of the Round Table did was too much.
In ancient China, only large armies composed of rogue bandits and some routs would do this. A real regular army has its own limits.
Of course, Wei Xiaobei didn't take any action to interfere, which doesn't mean he was cold-blooded.
Compared to saving a few people now, or finding the dragon's lair and annihilating the opponent in one fell swoop, Wei Xiaobei believes that the latter is more valuable and can save more people.
Besides, that Master Meilin is indeed a little weird, Wei Xiaobei has not been able to see the opponent's full strength until now.
Wei Xiaobei needs more information, so that he can be sure to keep the other party behind completely, instead of making the other party run away again.
After walking a certain distance, Wei Xiaobei didn't have to worry about the people of the Eagle Country anymore.
The villages and towns in front were deserted.
Maybe it was the dragon who killed some of the people, and the rest of the people who were lucky enough to escape escaped.
On the houses that have become ruins, you can see traces left by the various dragon breaths of the giant dragon. There are traces of flame scorching, some seem to have been soaked in hydrochloric acid, and some seem to be left behind after lightning strikes.
For the rest of the journey, even some small cities were deserted, and there was no one in sight.
Seeing this, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help shaking his head.
Based on the original population density of the Eagle Country and the current situation, Wei Xiaobei estimates that the entire Eagle Country has lost at least one-sixth of its population, which means a loss of 10 million people!
This shows the damage King Arthur and the dragon brought to this land, as well as the incompetence of the Eagle Army.
You must know that the population of Huaxia and even the frequency of monster invasions are much higher than here, but Huaxia has only lost more than 500,000 people so far.
Although this number is already very large in absolute value, it is pitifully small when compared to the entire land of China.
And here, 20 million yuan was actually lost!
But it can also be seen how harmful the giant dragon and these Knights of the Round Table are.
It can be said that the vitality of the Eagle Kingdom has been injured. Even if King Arthur and the dragon are killed in the future, the population loss is so large, and the industry and agriculture of the entire country are destroyed. Well, it is conceivable that even If the dragon, the Knights of the Round Table, and King Arthur are all wiped out, this country may not be able to recover in a short time, and it may even become a country like Yilak.
After all, once the country falls into chaos, it will be too difficult for the leaders to return to the normal line without superb wisdom and courage.
It is not uncommon for the whole country to become more and more chaotic after a douchebag like Wu Kelan came to power.
Time passed bit by bit during the march, until the night sky fell, and the Knights of the Round Table did not order to set up camp. It was not until early morning, when the sky was already bright, that the knight Mordred, who had quietly become the leader during the march, raised his right hand. Then the whole army slowed down.
At this time, Mordred had just discussed with Master Merlin before giving the order to set up camp.
Following Mordred's order, all the soldiers responded loudly, and then cut down trees, built camps, boiled water for cooking, and so on.
And those knights of the round table dismounted and disarmed under the service of their knight attendants, and used their sluggish energy and blood.
Only the Lancelot knight was left behind alone. Even after the camp was set up, he did not dismount.
Undoubtedly, the previous duel had dealt such a blow to Lancelot that he was still in a trance.
It was Mordred who came over with a smile on his face and invited Lancelot to have dinner together.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the knights of the round table felt a little bit emotional in their hearts. Don't look at this Mordred who is usually a bit of a jerk, but now it seems that his temperament is still good. Being able to invite his previous duel opponents to dinner, this courage It is also rare in the knights of the round table.
But they didn't know that all Mordred did was to continue to suppress Lancelot's reputation.
Mordred knew that with Lancelot's extremely arrogant and clean character, it was impossible to accept the invitation of himself, the winner, and he even felt insulted!
What happened next proved this point.
After hearing Mordred's invitation, Lancelot replied with a cold face, "No need."
Later, Lancelot turned around and left with his knight attendants. Amidst the stunned knights of the round table, he dismounted and disarmed at a nearby grove, and built a small camp with his knight attendants.
Well, if Lancelot is the only Knight of the Round Table, there is nothing wrong with doing this.
After all, there are as many as six knight attendants in Lancelot alone, who are responsible for wiping armor, weapons, grooming horses, cooking, and wearing armor, etc., and these knight attendants can follow Lan Sloat went to the battlefield together, and they all had their own horses and armor.
But the question is, what is the situation now?
The army of thousands of people watched from the sidelines, but Lancelot, as the superior, had no scruples about the impact on the army, and resolutely showed the discord among the knights of the round table in front of these soldiers.
Well, two of Lancelot's best knights of the round table even wanted to smash his head open to see what he was thinking!
"Hehe, Lancelot probably lost to me. I feel uncomfortable. This is normal. Don't think too much about it. Let's go have dinner together."
When Mordred saw that Lancelot had been fooled, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but on the surface he still appeared a little bit disappointed, and said some words that everyone knew but could express his pride.
It has to be said that those Knights of the Round Table really liked this. Even the Knights of the Round Table who had a bad impression of Mordred in the past stepped forward to comfort him at this time, and then put their arms around his shoulders and entered together. camp.
Well, with Mordred's attitude, even Lancelot's two good friends couldn't go over to comfort Lancelot at this time.
But for the lonely Lancelot, one can imagine the discomfort in his heart.
In fact, for such an honorable young master, in such an environment, the first thing he thinks of is not his previous mistakes, but his friend why he didn't come to comfort him, and instead got along with that despicable guy.
Especially when he heard the shouts of drinking from the distant camp, Lancelot was alone eating dry bread and drinking cold water, his heart ached even more, he wished he could just leave!
Of course, he also knew that if he left now, he might be even more ashamed to see others in the future.
It wasn't until everyone in the camp was full of food and drink that Lancelot's two good friends came to visit his good friend with a hint of drunkenness.
