Seeing that the rebels have laid down their weapons, their leader gave the Caion dismounted, surrounded the mountain soldiers and led them to the barracks Ts of cavalrymen followed theave off the iht

Rody looked at the defenseless rebels below the city walls and for soht

Now that they have dropped their weapons, let's execute the in the future!”

The thought was so sudden that Rody himself was shocked and started to have cold sweat

shi+t Why did I suddenly have these kinds of thoughts? Rody cursed in his mind Andy took no heed and spoke in his ht now, the rebellion of the mountain tribes is imminent With the presence of the mountain soldiers, the other soldiers would not be able to relax Once the mountain tribes openly rebel, these Eerous Whether they will rebel or not is anybody's guess Perhaps, it is better to take advantage of the fact that they are unarmed at this moment and kill them all!”

”Nonsense!” Rody frowned ”How can I indiscriminately kill innocent people?”

Rody then heard Andy laugh ”What's wrong? Why are you so agitated? I did not give you this idea You thought it up yourself! Hehe, let me tell you The late Duke would have done this He is someone ould take preventive eneral is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers1 Let us say they refuse to surrender What would you have done? Would you really execute their fale life? Hehe, just now you said it so resolutely but now you are being soft-hearted”

Listening to Andy's words, Rody just gritted his teeth and did not reply He could not help but think What will I do if they did not surrender? Will I kill their fa to the Imperial decree, they must be executed but… but… will I kill them?

Suddenly his heart stirred as he felt a sharp glare directed at hi at him from below the city walls Caaze A ruthless smile present on his lips When Canaled at theto the barracks Ca look

Rody was very disturbed He understood Caave him Camus had asked himself a similar question

To kill or not to kill?

Rody took a deep breath and inhaled the cold air of the night He forced himself to calm down and then he looked at Camus and shook his head

Caether with his subordinates, he escorted the mountain soldiers back to the barracks

Rody was confused After a short while, he saw that both parties had completely departed and they only left behind two corpses in their pools of blood

”Let's go back!” Rody said softly ”Let us go back to the Governor-General's office Dispatch someone to tell the Governor-General to come and see me”

During that entire incident, the Xier's Governor-General did not show up at all Rody was calry He wanted to fault that Governor-General He is one of the highest ranked officers How could he just hide in fear?

Rody and his subordinates had just reached the entrance of the Governor-General's office when he saw a carriage protected by bodyguards heading towards the office Rody could recognize that it was that Governor-General's carriage and iloomy

Sure enough, the Xier's Governor-General got down froe the moment it stopped He then approached Rody and said, ”Your Excellency the Duke, I heard you are looking for me and I immediately rushed over”

Rody was angry when he saw him and did not dismount from his horse He spoke coldly, ”Have you received the news? Your nephew Toohey had ehtered them indiscriminately He had caused the mutiny and was executed by me”

The Governor-General was startled He immediately lifted his head to look at Rody His expression changed A trace of anguish could be seen on his face as he hung his head and said, ”Your Excellency the Duke, Toohey's mistakes had caused the mutiny and he deserved the punishment”

Rody snorted and said, ”You are actually very understanding” He then paused for a , ”Just now a disaster al that time? As the Governor-General, could it be that you were still sleeping at home?”

The Governor-General started to have cold sweat He did not lift his head as he softly said, ”I… I received the news late… this… so…”

Rody felt furious and wanted to denounce hier and warned hiuards with me I do not have any soldiers or power The situation here is too coh this person is a hateful person, he is still the Governor-General If I were to suddenly become hostile to him, the stability of the province will be threatened

Taking a deep breath, Rody replied, ”Governor-General, it is fortunate that tonight's incident did not end up as a big problem You better restrain your soldiers and have theates Take essential precautions Right now, both of us are in the same boat If the Southeast is stable, then both of us would have no worries Otherwise, ould be in trouble” He then paused and continued softly, ”Do you know Reuben from the Northwest? He had the title of Earl but because of his failure, his title was stripped Besides that, he was also locked up in the martial court Governor-General, do you have as ht Right now, Ca soldiers return to their barracks I suggest that the Governor-General can allocate some soldiers to speed up preparations and provide support

After finishi+ng what he had to say and without looking at the Governor-General, Rody entered the govern at the same spot

The , he immediately called for Randt and whispered: ”Take additional precautions Tonight, we killed the Governor-General's nephew Although the Governor-General did not have a fall out with me, after all, we are now in his territory In another two days, when the Wolf Fang arrives, ould not need to worry anymore!”

Randt left after receiving his orders Rody felt physically and ht, he was confused He shook his head and went back to his room

Rody was agitated When he rehts he had earlier, he felt afraid When did I becoe after they have killed a lot?

He then heard Andy laugh, ”Kid, You do not need to feel strange about it After all, you have been the Duke for quite sohts are normal as most leaders are usually cruel and ruthless You were not wrong to have those thoughts”

Rody helplessly asked, ”Do you think those thoughts are normal? Don't you think that it is too cruel?”

Andy's voice was full of disdain as he replied, ”Cruel? I am different from you I am not a human I am just a skeleton I do not care about how many people are killed With you as an exception, I would not bat an eye even if everyone in the world is killed”

Rody shook his head as he disagreed with Andy's words However, he was unable to tell which parts of Andy's words rong Feeling drowsy, Rody finally fell asleep
