I looked at the purple-faced general speechlessly. I didn't know what to say. I had thought that this was a foolproof excuse, but…in this situation, it had become the biggest loophole.
Seeing my dejected look, the purple-faced general waved his hand and coldly said,"Alright…I've already told you the reason. I believe you can die in peace. Come on…drag him out and chop him up!”
Wait!
I stretched out my hand and stopped the guards who were about to pounce on me. I looked at the purple-faced general with a sharp gaze. What did they just say? He said he was at war with the Fragrance Empire? Then…even if he died! I will also die on the battlefield. Killing one more person from the Fragrance Empire will help the dead Dwarves vent their anger.
Seeing that I was staring at him, the purple-faced general's face turned even more purple. His eyes flashed as he sneered,"What's wrong? Are you trying to resist?"
I slowly shook my head. Going against a general was simply courting death. Without the strength of a Swordsman, even if you were the Emperor's father, you could forget about becoming a general. That was definitely not something I could resist with my current strength.
I shook my head and calmly said,"I'm not a spy. If I were a spy from the Fragrance Empire, would I not know that there are no villages in the Sunset Empire?”
En!
The purple-faced general was an open-minded person. Indeed…if he was really a spy sent by the Fragrance Empire, he would definitely have a legal identity. How could he make a mistake in such a low-level aspect?
He sized up the kid in front of him. Hmm…he was dressed in strange clothes, his hair was black, and his eyes were black. Even if a fool or a lunatic were to pick a spy, he probably wouldn't be able to pick such a person. It was too obvious.
It was fine if it was just obvious. Perhaps he was trying to make use of your mindset to make you think that he was not a spy, but…it was absolutely unreasonable to barge into the city gate like this. There was no reason at all.
Thinking of this, the purple-faced general slowly raised his head and nodded solemnly.""Indeed…the possibility of you being a spy is very small, but…during a war, we must not take any risks. In other words…even if there is only a 1% chance, you are still a suspect. We will definitely not let you go just like that. Unless…you want us to lock you up for the rest of your life? Or lock him up until the end of the war!"
I shook my head expressionlessly." No…I don't want to be locked up. I have something important to do, so…"
The purple-faced general frowned. Do you think I'll let you go just because you're in trouble? That's absolutely impossible!"
I didn't show any displeasure towards the purple-faced general. I calmly replied,"The battlefield is probably the best place to test whether I'm a spy or not. I want to join your army and use my actions to prove that I'm not a spy!”
The purple-faced general looked at me up and down in surprise and said in a deep voice,""Have you thought about it? You must know…because your identity is unknown, you can only join the Death Squad. If that's the case, do you still want to join the army?”
I coldly nodded. Rather than being locked up for the rest of my life, it would be better to die in battle. Furthermore…the battlefield was always the best place to train people. I might not die!
Seeing my natural expression, the purple-faced general was slightly stunned. He said in astonishment,"Do you not know the meaning of chasing the team to death? They were completely different from regular soldiers!”
I raised my head in shock and looked at the purple-faced general. To be honest, I really didn't know what a death squad was. I had never heard of it before.
Seeing my stunned expression, the purple-faced general revealed an expression of 'I knew it'. At this moment, he was even more convinced that this boy in front of him wasn't a spy. Perhaps…he really came from a small mountain village!
The purple-faced general explained kindly," The so-called death squads are usually made up of death criminals, slaves, and some exiled noble servants. Their role is to die on the battlefield!”
Seeing that I was still puzzled, the purple-faced general seemed to be in the mood to talk. He continued,"At the beginning of a battle, we usually use the Death Squad to attract the first wave of firepower from the enemy archers and mages. When the archers and mages launch the next round of attacks, it will be time for our regular army to charge. This is common in all battles on the continent.”
I shook my head speechlessly and sighed in my heart. This was too inhumane. Wasn't this sending people to their deaths? No wonder they were called the death squad. Wasn't this the same as rushing to die?
The purple-faced general saw my surprised expression and nodded silently.""That's right…a death squad is a death squad. The army is sending them to their deaths. If they retreat, they will be killed. If they advance, they will be killed.”
After a slight pause, the purple-faced general continued,""Those who can survive the fight to the death will basically be one in every ten thousand people. Moreover, they are covered in injuries and were lucky enough to be saved!”
The purple-faced general stared at me and said in a deep voice,""How is it? After knowing what kind of team the Death Squad was, would you still want to join?”
I nodded without batting an eyelid." Yes…I still want to join because…I definitely can't be locked up forever…I still have important things to do. I just want to know how I can regain my freedom!”
The purple-faced general looked deeply at the boy in front of him. Up until now, he had basically completely believed that he was not a spy, but so what? The rules could not be changed. All she could do was to treat him as fairly as possible.
The purple-faced general smiled in admiration." Alright…Since you have the courage to choose the Death Squad, I'll give you all the treatment of the Death Squad!"”
The purple-faced general's eyes lit up as he shouted,""As long as you don't retreat in battle, charge forward courageously, and survive the war, you can leave the Death Squad and become a regular soldier. Then…after you serve for three years, you can regain your freedom!”
I silently lowered my head and carefully thought about what the purple-faced general had said. En…I could accept it. If he wanted to lock me up, that was definitely not possible. If I joined the death squad, I would still have a chance of survival!
Thinking of this, I resolutely raised my head and said to the purple-faced general,"Good! I'll join the Death Squad, but…I hope you can keep your promise!”
Pa! Pa!
The purple-faced general patted his chest proudly and said,""No matter what, I, Zi Qianhao, am the general of sunrise City. How can I take back what I have said? If you can really survive the first battle, I will naturally turn you into an official soldier according to the rules. If you make any more contributions in the future, you will be rewarded according to the military rules of the Sunset Empire!
I wasn't interested in the rewards that General Zi mentioned because I wasn't smart enough to do so. I only wanted to fulfill my ambitions. As long as it was related to the Fragrance Empire, I wouldn't let it go.
Perhaps some people would say that I implicated the innocent, but…when they killed the dwarfs, did they hesitate? Did they even consider whether they had killed a good person in vain?
Looking at the purple-faced general, I said in a low voice,"You are an outstanding general. I believe in you…you are definitely a person who will do what you say.”
I closed my eyes and continued,"Now…please take me to the death squad. But before that, I have to tell you that I will definitely return alive."”
After I finished speaking, I resolutely turned around and swiftly left the hall under the lead of the four guards. Zi Qianhao smiled as he watched the group of people gradually leave."Humph? What an interesting and cold young man, but…he had the temperament of a soldier. Soldiers should not show their emotions on their faces!”
Speaking up to this point, General Zi Qianhao frowned slightly and muttered doubtfully,""But…this child doesn't look very old. He's only fifteen or sixteen years old. What makes him so cold? After talking for so long, it was fine if he didn't smile, but he didn't even have a surprised expression. This was abnormal!”
Actually…I was only 11 years old now. My mental endurance was basically the same as that of children my age. After experiencing the tragedy of the dwarves, how could I still be in the mood to smile? Similarly, what could surprise me?
Under the lead of the four guards with swords, I walked towards the west side of the city. After passing through a long street, a continuous army camp appeared in front of me. There were countless soldiers training in the army camp, and the shouts of killing could be heard very far away!
It was different…I could clearly feel that even though it was the same training, there was something about the soldiers 'auras that I didn't understand, but it made my hair stand on end. This was completely different from the training of my companions in the Dwarf Village!
Carefully sensing and experiencing, finally…my entire body trembled. I knew what they had compared to the dwarven children. It was killing intent! Bloodthirsty killing intent!
