Chapter 1404 (2/2)
After learning that the young man belonged to the northern border army, Rocher understood everything in an instant.
I understand why this young man... Degenerated from a soldier to a thief who made a living by stealing money from people who were unconscious on the roadside
Barrister looked at the expression on Rochelle's face and smiled:
”It seems - you understand my difficulty.”
”I don't want to be a soldier anymore.”
”I don't have the courage to be a soldier again.”
”I say, sir, do you know what happened on the northern border after the British Empire launched a comprehensive attack on us?”
”We are constantly surrounded, annihilated and slaughtered.”
”The third army of our northern border army is called the strongest force of the northern border army - but so what?”
”It's not the same. It's vulnerable and collapsible at one touch!”
”I can see clearly!”
”At the beginning of the battle, I, an ordinary footman, stood in the front of the army!”
”So I can see very clearly how our army's array was easily torn apart by the British Army!”
”In less than half a day, the third army of the northern border army was completely destroyed!”
”And I disguised as a dead body and hid in the corpse pile, so I escaped...”
”Other regiments of the northern border army, like the third army to which I belong, were either completely annihilated or defeated so that they did not even have the ability to fight again...”
”In less than half a month, the British Army wiped out the whole army of our northern border army...”
”Occupied the whole north of our country...”
”It is impossible for us to win the British army and the 'superpower' in the North!”
Tears, containing all kinds of emotions, began to roll out of barrister's eyes.
”I don't have the courage to fight the British Army anymore.”
”I don't want to be a soldier anymore.”
”I just want to go home now... Be an ordinary farmer...”
”Call me whatever you want...”
”You can call me a deserter or a coward...”
”Or I can draw my sword directly and punish me according to the crime of deserting soldiers...”
”Anyway, it's in your hands now. Whatever you do...”
After that, the young man seemed to have accepted his fate and buried his head low.
But the sword he imagined coming at his head didn't come.
There was no sharp abuse.
Only a slight sigh.
”... raise your head.”
Hearing Rocher's words, barrister hesitated for a moment and slowly raised his head.
When he raised his head, he saw Rochelle's expressionless face.
Although there was no expression on Rochelle's face.
But... I don't know if it was barrister's illusion. He always felt that there was a hint of bitterness on Rochester's face.
”I won't scold you, nor will I punish you for deserting soldiers.”
”I understand you very well.”
”After all, the gap between China and the British Empire is so large that people just want to stay away from the British army, but it's only human nature.”
Speaking of this, Rochelle picked up a long branch at his feet and played with the bonfire in front of him.
”And...”
A bitter smile appeared on Rochelle's face.
”I may still be the sinner who indirectly caused your northern border army to be defeated by the British Army...”
”You just told me your story.”
”Now let me tell my story.”
