C558 Atrocities (1/2)

Maylor was sitting on the street outside the door at this time. The explosive shock wave caused both of his ears to buzz, and the world started to spin. The hooves of the horses on the street were all raised high, if not for the fact that they were tied to a tree, they would all have ran.

”My lord, please leave quickly. The sound of an explosion will definitely attract the enemy's attention …” ”Hurry up and leave!” Maylor was dragged by the soldiers to the side of the horse in a daze, but just as he was about to leave, he rushed back into the small courtyard.

At this time, the small courtyard was already a mess of flesh and blood. The corpses were not destroyed yet, but white smoke still rose from them. The one closest to the door was that Acidic Scholar.

”Ah, Elementary Scholar, where is your paper?” ”Don't lose it …” Acidic Scholar's back was covered in bamboo strips, and long wounds were oozing blood.

Maylor used all of his strength to flip over Tian Xiu Cai, and then regardless of whether he was dead or alive, he immediately started groping around, and finally found a thick stack of papers.

”That's him …” Maylor wanted to leave as soon as he caught that paper, but he never expected that Acidic Scholar was still alive. He grabbed onto Maylor's arm.

”Large... My lord! Don't leave me behind, take me with you... ”I've been loyal to you for four years …”

Maylor didn't have the time to care about him, a wounded soldier would be a burden. ”Let go, you dog of a servant let go … Damn, why aren't you letting go! ” Two kicks up.

”Master, don't leave me behind. I'm still useful. It really is useful …” ”I can advise you, my lord. My injuries are not too severe, please take me with you …”

The bamboo hand grenade was the oldest model in Xiao Letian's arsenal, and its lethality was not too great. Before the explosion, the Acidic Scholar was already at the entrance and was only five steps away from the explosion, but he had already fainted from the explosion earlier. His internal organs were slightly injured, and if he were to return for a period of time, he would probably not even be left with any side effects.

But he had underestimated the heartlessness of the Manchu's master. In Maylor's eyes, escaping was the most important thing.

”Let go …” ”You bastard, let go!” Maylor's anger rose up from the bottom of his heart. He turned his leg around and got rid of the Elementary Scholar's hand. Then, he fiercely stomped down, to the point where half of his palm had turned into mush.

”Ah …” Master! This servant still has a use for him, it's really useful … Please take me away! ” At that moment, the support in his heart collapsed.

His left hand was crushed, but he still had his right hand. He even wrapped his arms around Maylor's thigh and refused to let go no matter what he did.

Maylor was infuriated, he thought to himself, you actually dare to stop me from escaping? None of you Chinese are good people, so when he thought of this, Maylor punched the Scholar's head repeatedly, pulling his braid and slamming it onto the green brick floor.

”Die …” Die... ”Die for me …” Maylor clenched his teeth and cursed, then slammed his head against the ground.

But who would have thought that the weak Tian Xiu Cai would be so angry that he didn't let go of Maylor's leg. Maybe at that moment, he was holding onto the hope of raising the flag, and was protecting his future wealth and fortune, so how could he lose it?

”General …” ”We can't dawdle any longer, there's the sound of horses' hooves outside the village …”

When Maylor heard this, he was so frightened that his vision went black. ”Alright, alright, since you want to die, don't blame me for being heartless …” Maylor put down the paper, his hands locking onto Tian Xiu Cai's head, twisting it left and right.

With a cracking sound, the Acidic Scholar's neck was broken, and pitch-black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His eyes went wide as he looked at his master, who had followed him for four or five years. He looked at his master, who gave him money. He looked at his master, who played with his woman. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

”Mistress …” ”This servant still has a use …” These were the last words that came to his mind before he lost consciousness.

Maylor grabbed the imperial report, turned and ran. Not long later, a few war horses galloped towards the northwest at full speed.

The one who followed Maylor into the village was Luo Huo, he could analyze most of the tragedy that was happening in the small courtyard. There were four young men wearing the same uniform, and all of them had the symbol of the Four Seas Trading Company on their lapels.

As for the other corpses, they were obviously Maylor's personal guards. Adding on the smell of smoke in the courtyard, there were a few grenades that had not exploded yet.

Luo Huo who was filled with righteous indignation personally laid out the bodies of the sworn brothers. He even changed into a pair of pure white gloves and gently closed their eyes, ”Good brothers, this victory is thanks to you, our New Army will bury you and your families will be properly taken care of. ”Rest in peace, leave the matter of revenge to us!”

Strangely, their eyes closed after dying with grievance. Moreover, their expressions became relaxed. Perhaps there was a heroic spirit that had yet to dissipate in the underworld.

”Cut off the heads of these beasts... Bring them back to the prisoners for identification and then have the Discipline Hall take over their homes. This matter absolutely cannot be let go! ”

After Xiao Letian listened to the entire report, he was so angry that his face turned green. He suddenly rushed into the group of captives and grabbed a captive that resembled a high ranking official, cursing out loud.

”If you want to deal with laozi, then fight a fair and square battle with our new army …” Why kill the people? ”Why kill innocent people …” Xiao Letian punched the officer in the nose, breaking his bones, and then threw him into the mud.

”And you guys …” An inhumane beast... The people will pay taxes and pay food to feed you, and when the time comes, you will kill the people with your butcher knives … You are all animals! ”
