Chapter 660 Disciplined Forces
"I heard that General Esdeath is a descendant of a Western alien race that specializes in hunting dangerous species?" Duran took Esdeath to an empty room, and was not in a hurry to take Esdeath's imperial weapon.
Esdeath lived in the West, but when she was very young, her people were wiped out by aliens from further west, and she was the last one. This race that hunts dangerous species for a living is extremely fierce and advocates the use of force, but unfortunately there are few people, and they are helpless to be destroyed by the Western alien army.
Duran mentioned the saddest thing about Esdeath, but it didn't make her feel uncomfortable. She had thought it through long ago, it was just the law of the jungle, and the dead were just because they were not strong enough. With this extreme idea, she had no mercy on the weak, and the weak were just the objects of her killing and entertainment, which was exactly the same as the ideas of many powerful people in the imperial capital. The biggest reason why she could be trusted by Minister Ernest was that she didn't treat civilians as human beings.
Unfortunately, now both of them are unlucky, and Duran's methods are fierce, leaving them no time to think of a way to deal with it.
"You don't have to hate me so much. I won't kill you. I always like to win people over with virtue, and I don't like to waste words with the dead. Although you have killed countless people, your actions are more beneficial than harmful to the imperial capital. Although many of the killings were to satisfy your perverted killing requirements, the empire suffered unwarranted hatred. Do you understand what I mean?"
The devil knows what Duran wants to do.
Esdeath just looked at Duran, the man who opposed her everywhere, she wanted to see how far Duran could go.
"It seems that you don't understand." Duran shook his head with a regretful look, "I want to give you a chance to be a good person.
"Haha, where is good and bad in this world? Only people with strong strength can determine the good and evil of all beings and make the rules of the world. Good people? Who in the whole empire dares to say that I did something wrong now? "Esdeath was very disdainful of Duran. Strength is the truth. She is the strong one, and she decides what is good and what is bad. Duran has no right to say this.
It is indeed difficult to communicate. The barbaric concept has penetrated into Esdeath's soul. But Duran is not in a hurry. He will find other ways to correct it. "Now the emperor has ordered it, and we can only offend him."
Duran's right hand turned into wind, and a shallow blood mark appeared on Esdeath's neck. The demon god that drank it appeared from her limbs and bones, and finally gathered at Duran's fingertips.
Esdeath lost the power of the imperial weapon and became an ordinary female man.
"Okay, now you come back to the hunters with me. Although the emperor has demoted you to a small soldier, I will not let you really go to the army to start over. You still go to the hunters, but you will not be a captain but a team member. "
Esdeath didn't see how Duran made the move. She only felt a pain in her neck, and the imperial weapon disappeared. She didn't even have time to use the imperial weapon's ability to hide. However, this was a difference in strength. Since the strong preyed on the weak, she didn't say anything. But this mentality was difficult to correct, and Duran had to think of other ways.
The hunters couldn't wait for the captain to come back, and only waited for a soldier.
"Lan, you are now the captain of the hunters. This is the order of His Majesty." Duran held the imperial sword horizontally, "Do you have any objections?"
"Why revoke General Esdeath's position?" Will was the first to stand up. He still admired the general's strength and character.
"Because she is lawless and killed nobles in public, the evidence is conclusive. Is this reason sufficient?" Duran was calm but majestic, and he was simply a typical example of a fox using the power of a tiger. With the imperial sword, Will could only be angry but not speak.
"And Sailu, Hei Tong, you are also accomplices, and you will be punished by a pay cut. Do you have any questions? "Duran said, "As law enforcement officers, you should have a balance in your heart, that is, the balance between yourself and the law. Your every move should be legal, and you should treat criminals according to the law, rather than being dominated by your own ambitions and desires. Remember that in the future, when you are chasing criminals, you are not allowed to use force first, and you cannot use the imperial weapon. You can only use it when your life is threatened. If I find anyone who is lawless and uses the imperial weapon indiscriminately, this imperial sword will not have eyes. "
"..." This is to ask the hunters to sit and wait for death. They are dealing with all dangerous criminals. They cannot use violence first or use the imperial weapon first. This rule makes them uncomfortable.
"But they are all criminals. What's wrong with us hunters killing criminals? ?" Sai Liu couldn't accept this absurd order.
"Then I ask you, what is the difference between hunters and night raids? ?" The sharp eyes pierced Sai Liu's heart.
"We hunters are of course partners of justice, and the night raiders are just rebels. "Seleu was not willing to be outdone.
But even Esdeath suffered at Duran's hands, and a middle school girl like Seleu was even worse off. "Justice is justice because hunters rely on the law, and night raids are outside the law. If you hunters don't abide by the law, then it's just another night raid, and it's just a group of lynches." Duran raised the imperial sword: "The emperor established the country with grace and power, and ruled the country with laws. Anyone who dares not to obey is disrespecting the emperor. So you must strictly follow the rules and regulations in the future, because I will also strictly require you to follow the laws and regulations. I'm watching you."
"Lan, you must control your men well. If you do something illegal, it's not worth it to be implicated. I'm very optimistic about you." Duran is much more powerful than the little emperor. He pointed fingers at them with the imperial sword, and no one dared to object.
Duran left, leaving the hunters speechless. There were so many rules for no reason, and it felt so uncomfortable.
"What should we do?" Will looked at Lan. In fact, he felt that what Duran said was not wrong. Why do they represent justice? Isn't it because they want to uphold the law? If the hunters themselves broke the law, what qualifications do they have to enforce the law? But if they really act according to the law, they are restricted everywhere. Not to mention dealing with night raids, it is very difficult to catch ordinary fugitives. So it's contradictory.
How could Lan know what to do? In just one morning, things developed in the direction that he least wanted to see. General Esdeath was obviously calculated by Duran. Without the general, Duran could do whatever he wanted to the hunters. "We can only do what he wants. If you encounter enemies in the future, you just need to be careful."
It's just that Sailu has accumulated a ball of fire in her chest, and she has nowhere to vent. She is a person who wants to kill the evil in the world. How can she be bound by rules and regulations? Originally, joining the hunters thought it would be a shortcut to fighting thieves, but now she is wrong. Thinking that Dr. Fashion had not yet taken revenge, and the thieves who attacked at night had not yet been killed, Selyu's expression became more and more distorted, and she almost regarded Duran as a traitor. When treating prisoners, what laws should be followed? Just bite them to pieces. It's not that she is cruel, but that the traitor chose the wrong path. Anyway, she is not wrong, even if she cruelly kills civilians who assist the revolutionary army. That's right, as long as the traitor and those related to the traitor should die. This Duran must not be a good person. As long as she finds clues about the connection between Duran and the traitor, Selyu will kill him without hesitation.
As for Hei Tong, she doesn't care about Duran's words. Her idea is similar to Esdeath. She does her job, and how to complete it is none of her business, so she turns around and forgets Duran's words.
Will, Porus and Lan are all normal people, so they remember Duran's words, and they will be cautious in the future, abide by the law everywhere, and make the hunters a disciplined force.
Minister Ernest rested at home for two days. He was very painful. Originally, every meal was meatless. But now, even though there are delicious fish and meat in front of him, he has no appetite. His stomach is always full and he can't eat anything. This kind of torment is more painful than killing his parents, and his jealousy towards Duran is getting stronger and stronger. However, he is more cunning than Esdeath and knows that Duran is not easy to deal with. Now that Esdeath has lost his military power, his position is also precarious, so now he has to put his anger with Duran aside and build a good relationship with the new general first. Iyeas is still a child, and the minister doesn't take him seriously at all. As long as he uses a little trick, he will definitely catch him.
In front of Iyeas, the minister puts his posture very low and praises Iyeas everywhere. The teenager who originally didn't like the minister felt that the minister was not a bad person in a short time. It's just coaxing a child. Even the emperor was coaxed into submission by him, let alone a country boy. The minister is confident that he can make Iyeas obey his orders like the little emperor.
Shayou found that her childhood sweetheart had changed, indulging in alcohol and sex, and even ignored her words. She also sighed and didn't know what to do.
At this time, many cases of villages and towns being destroyed occurred in the suburbs of the imperial capital, and workers in several important mining areas were massacred. For a time, the attention of the night raiders and hunters was focused on this sensational case.
