Chapter 86 Democracy and Justice

The angry Grand Duke calmed down after hearing the bad news.

"How many armies can we still control now?"

"Less than 10,000 people."

"Can you hold the camp?"

"Can't hold on..."

Although I really want to say that I can hold it, the Holy Cross nobles still know themselves.

Archduke Fernandez had not yet realized that the plan had completely failed. He thought that it was just a trick, and that the lack of food for the Rock people was an objective fact.

After closing his eyes and adjusting his mentality, he said decisively: "Let's go first. Who wants to stay and block Mega Man?"

If you leave here, you will lose at most 50,000 troops.

To some extent, it also saves food rations.

When we regain our strength, we still have the capital to continue fighting.

However, no one dared to take on this mission, which had a high probability of getting him killed.

After waiting for a while, a baron stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I am willing to stay and stop Rockman."

"Okay, I remember you."

Archduke Fernandez doesn't need to promise anything. He will make something clear whether the other party can come back alive or not.

At the same time, Derek had defeated the last organized Holy Cross Kingdom army.

At some point, a gold chain hung on the armor.

Derek, who had just dismounted, had a group of noble officers kneeling in front of him, and he took the gold chain into his hand.

These nobles who were running so fast all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

The reputation of the Augusta family is so great that some people have been so scared that they wet their pants.

"Look, this gold chain is mine again."

He put down his knife for the gold chain, only to be snatched back again.

Hold the knife, these things will come back sooner or later.

Why do some people always fail to understand?

No one responded, Derek felt very bored, and he had no interest in continuing to kill.

In fact, every time he kills, he has a purpose.

Keeping these nobles is more useful than killing them directly.

There is no need to boost morale now, but to consider the next step.

After cleaning up the battlefield, when Derek returned to the confrontation between the camps, the goat that was killed had not yet been cooked.

It's just right, don't waste it, eat your own sheep.

Derek directly invited his officers and captured nobles to have an open-air barbecue.

"It's a pity that Archduke Fernandez didn't eat the gift I left for him." Derek suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, when the Grand Duke is captured, you can treat him to another meal." Simon waved a leg of lamb, arrogantly making the nobles look at him.

But as if he didn't see Bai Yan, he took the knife he had with him and cut the meat and started eating.

What a bullshit nobleman, he has already beheaded two figures of people.

At this time, the captured nobles also knew Derek's identity.

Everyone thought he was in White Birch Castle, and the flags Adrian flew were all his.

No one thought that Derek would appear here on behalf of Tao Zheng.

In this way, losing is not incomprehensible.

But the granary was burned down, and you still want to capture Archduke Fernandez?

Although he did not dare to say it out loud, the captured nobleman did not think so in his heart.

Although they won for a while, the main force of the Holy Cross Kingdom's army was still there, so it couldn't be defeated so easily.

Derek could tell what these guys were thinking just by looking at their faces.

From a practical point of view, this is indeed the case.

Even if the thousands of people standing in front of him stand firm, it would be troublesome to deal with them by themselves.

However, his ultimate move has never been revealed.

"Spring plowing is almost over, are there any nobles from Saint Maitreya Province?"

Derek asked suddenly, without the person involved admitting it, everyone's gaze betrayed him.

Derek threw him a small platoon and asked, "Here, tell me, what's the weather like next?"

The nobleman who was named looked confused, but having lived in St. Maitreya Province for generations, this question was not difficult: "It is the rainy season, and the rainy season is coming."

After spring plowing, it is the rainy season.

Of course, the rainy season in Saint Maitreya Province will not cause floods, at least not in the past ten years.

But this is without human intervention.

Derek smiled, although it was a little cruel, but the time was coming.

"My opportunity is coming too."

Why was this chosen as the stalemate area on the front line, and even led Fernandez to camp here in the end.

Without him, the terrain is just high enough.

Boom!

As if in response to Derek's words, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then dark clouds quickly swept in.

Derek's expression grew serious, and the atmosphere became depressing as quickly as the weather.

"Fernandez was so frantic that after failing in the decisive battle, he dug up river embankments in an attempt to prevent our pursuit. Just as the news of spring arrived, the western part of St. Miles Province flooded, causing heavy casualties. Fernandez also suffered the consequences.

I... Commander of the Saint Maitreya Army, Baron Augusta, Knight of the North, Derek, vowed to hang the sinners of the Bruno family in the Province of Saint Maitreya and let him atone for the death of innocent civilians. "

Click!

There was a flash of lightning, and everyone looked at Viscount Derek in shock.

The latter's cold expression scared many people.

No one has ever played like this, but when I think about it deeply, I shudder.

So cruel! So poisonous!

The key point is that Fernandez cannot be cleared of his injustice by calling out the truth.

Derek turned around, leaving behind the usefulness of these nobles.

"Are you willing to testify against Fernandez's crimes?"

Good fellow, they are waiting for us here.

Everyone can figure out that public opinion is not in the hands of millions of civilians in the Holy Mile Province.

Public opinion is in the hands of the participants in this war, the nobles of the two countries.

Locke will never undermine himself, at least not on the surface.

If some of the Holy Cross nobles also turn against him, can Fernandez still be cleaned up? Can the royal Bruno family still be cleaned up?

As for whether the nobles who testified were threatened, will the civilians pay attention? Will anyone care?

Everyone only needs a scapegoat, if not Derek, then it can only be Grand Duke Fernandez.

Including the Holy Cross Kingdom, there are many people who want him to be unlucky. Do you think it is... Count Connor, the Sword of God?

For a long time, no one dared to speak. It was really too expensive to betray. You know, everyone's roots are in the country. The Bruno family can't do anything to Derek, but they can easily control these small nobles.

While they were hesitating, Simon smashed the lamb leg to the ground with a clang, picked up a hemp rope, and pulled down the most handsome noble.

The rope was skillfully tied around the other's neck twice, and Simon hung him on the flagpole alone, regardless of his pleas and cries.

Watching his companion's legs drooping weakly.

This time, there was no need to think about it.

"I am willing to testify that Archduke Fernandez... No, that sinner Fernandez is extremely evil and treats the millions of civilians in my Saint Mitre Province as non-human beings. He deserves to die and be hanged."

With the first one, the next one is simple.

There are also stubborn ones, just hang them up.

Viscount Derek is very democratic.
