Blanqui's enticement was obviously effective, he could clearly see the greed in the veteran's eyes.

Blanqui immediately followed up: ”Sir, not only do you have money, you also have the respect of all the working class in the world. You will become a virtuous and noble person!”

”From the day we were born, our commune had been fighting for the welfare of the poor! Can't you see the hardships of life? Can't you see the huge wealth difference in society? ”

”Look at those farmers behind you. They can kill for a few hundred francs and risk being killed …” They probably only live their lives with salted oatmeal. They can't even afford white bread and sausages! ”

”You have worked so hard every day, yet all the money you earned was taken away by the landlords and loan sharks. Don't you see all this suffering? Our commune wants to fight for the benefit of these poor people! ”

”If you let us go, not only will you get two hundred thousand francs, but you will also get the kindness and serenity of your heart!”

”I think you will make the right choice! As long as you choose to believe me, this bet is simple... Isn't it? ”

The old soldier's fingers that were holding onto the money bag were clearly using a lot of strength. His knuckles were already white, and Blanqui knew that he was intensely struggling in his heart.

”Give him the rest of our money! This is our sincerity! ”

Another purse was tossed over, and the stupefied veteran subconsciously reached out to grab it. This time, he finally had five thousand francs!

Five thousand francs! This was already not a small number. A 12 mu of grape field was something that could be bought. This was a family property that would never change even after ten thousand years!

”Damnit, people die for money while birds die for food! ”Alright, you guys go, I'll take this gamble …”

Everyone in the barn let out a sigh of relief. It looked like they had finally passed the test.

The members of the commune supported the wounded and cautiously walked out of the barn. The squad leader of the French Army returned to the main road and shouted, ”All of you, get out of the way! All of you …” As she spoke, she winked at her direct descendant.

The villagers had a big hole in them, the soldiers had also put down their rifles and removed the bayonets from their muzzles. The old class monitor started to give his men the francs, this scene made Blanqui and the others even more at ease.

They could only rely on their legs to enter the mountain range, but that wouldn't be a problem for them. They were all warriors who had been through tough times growing up, and no one cared about walking on the mountain path.

The group of people quickly walked towards the village. Just as Blanqui and the group of people relaxed their vigilance and walked past the few French soldiers, the old veteran class monitor suddenly bellowed.

”Hurry up! Kill them all! ”

”You are treacherous! ”Bastard …” Before Blanqui could finish cursing, he saw the surrounding soldiers and villagers pouncing towards him like tigers, and their subordinates who were caught off guard had their bodies pierced by the bright bayonets.

There was no way to guard against an armpit attack. Both sides were at hand!

The squad leader's target was Blanqui, he took out a dagger from his boot, and smashed Blanqui to the ground with his body!

Blanqui's right face was pressed against the ground, the scene in front of him was completely inverted. He watched helplessly as his subordinates were surrounded by a group of soldiers and villagers, the cold shining bayonet piercing through their hearts, pulling them out with a dark red color!

”Why? Why do you hate us so much! ”Why is that?”
