Chapter 407： dark (2/2)

Of course, more conspicuous than the red sign, or his body is taller than the strong soldiers.

At this moment, the strong and tall priest and the field doctor looked at the ruins in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, they could not help but sigh.

All the buildings in the line of sight have been collapsed and destroyed. The warehouse where the grain is stored in the village has been looted and set on fire. The wells have been buried. The cattle and sheep livestock have been slaughtered and killed by the hungry aristocrats. It is too late to take away the granaries. The house was fired as well, and in some places, Wright could still see some unpleasant dark red blood.

The village was destroyed and destroyed by war, but it was not the Cecil who was the "enemy" but the nominal asylum of the village, the nominal owner of the Concord area, and the Kang. The nobility coalition of the Viscount of Cisco.

The aristocratic coalition that fled from the front of the gravel ridge destroyed this place like the rest of the place they destroyed along the way.

The nobility is synonymous with plunder, especially during the war, but Wright is still shocked by what he sees and hears. He did not think that the looting and destruction of the aristocratic coalition forces in the rout would be more shocking than the damage they caused when they entered. It was even shocking that he couldn't help but wonder if the aristocratic soldiers who were fleeing were humans, or a group of termites that were smashed and skinned.

Standing next to Wright was a Cecil veteran. The veteran who served as the team commander in the team was used to the battlefield and also knew the set of traditional aristocratic troops. He shook his head and explained to Wright: "They At the time of entering the army, there will be some order at least. At that time, they are still living on the land and the protectors of the people. When they pass through the villages and towns, they will collect a lot of food and property, but at least they will not destroy, but once they flee, They became wolves...not the same as Cecil’s army. The noble soldiers did not take 'plundering' as a criminal act, nor would they be whipped and beaten because they took the bread of the common people. In order to fill the stomach, everything dares to do it, even to prevent food and houses from falling into the hands of the soldiers, they will burn a place when they go to a place..."

"Don't they even let their land go?" Wright couldn't help but interrupt the veteran's words. "The aristocrats who fled... They really ordered the destruction of the village on their territory?"

“Why not?” the veteran sighed. “They lost. Anyway, according to the rules of the aristocratic war, the winners always plundered them. They felt that even if they did not steal the food in the village, they burned the house. The chase will do the same, instead of letting the enemy succeed, it is better to do it yourself, and in this way they can also get back some of the food... they don’t feel like losing money."

"..."

Wright was silent. The darkness and sin in the war made him wonder what he should say. He came from the relatively rich and stable plain of the Holy Spirit. Even during the missionary process, he saw some despicable acts of barbarians and nobles, but like this one, The real war was the first time he saw it, and the aristocrats did something in the process of defeating and fleeing, far exceeding his expectations.

But he is not a naive person. Although many people say that he is naive after knowing that he follows the behavior of classical light, he knows that he is not. He was shocked by the cruel darkness of the war, but he would not naively think that there should be no war, let alone that Cecil’s victory led to these tragedies.

He knows the greed of mankind and knows the greed of the nobility. After reading the comments and analysis in the newspaper, he knows that this war is inevitable, regardless of the outcome of the war. Those greedy and brutal aristocrats and their army will do it. The looting and destruction of almost the same thing will happen, the only difference is where it will happen.

And he also knows that Cecil’s army has been trying to avoid the destruction of these large forces as much as possible, and has been trying to drive the enemy to places like the wilderness. If it is close to the town, it will try to destroy them before they cause damage. Catch up to the storm and drive away. After all, protecting the towns and villages is also protecting the future property of Cecil.

But no matter how hard, the battlefield is always full of variables, full of uncontrollable.

So Wright could only watch silently, then bowed his head and silently prayed for those who had suffered disasters.

The Lord of Light does not respond to his prayers, but he does not expect anything to respond to his prayers.

The commander glanced at the field doctor who was born in the pastor and did not disturb the prayers of the latter. Instead, he began to assign tasks to the soldiers: "You two, go to the neighborhood to find someone else, and ask if there is any escape." People, find a way to find out. You, and you three, look for places where there are no dead bodies nearby, collect the bodies and burn them. Others come with me to find out what is available."
