Chapter 49 (1/2)
Less than one-third of the Bastille soldiers who followed Erikson the bull surrendered, and most of them fled. Most of them had ghosts in their hearts. They had once harmed Andes mountain people for fear of being attacked and retaliated. However, they had seen with their own eyes the miserable appearance of falling into the hands of Andes Mountain people. They would rather escape into the mountains than be captured.
Even if Sean didn't send troops to pursue them and there was no supply, it was difficult for them to stay in the mountains for too long, not only because of their survival ability, but also because it was under the control of Andes mountain people.
On the issue of how to treat the prisoners, there are still differences among them. Among them, the Andes mountain people headed by Maiji, the skull breaker, tried to kill them all.
In McKee's words, none of the soldiers who came from Bastille had any hands that were not stained with the blood of the Andes, and they did not need to be judged. It was absolutely unjust to see one soldier killed another.
As for the oath given by McKee at the head of the city, it should only be a fart. If the oath can curse a slave hunter, McKee will definitely eat the oath for food, even if he will fall into hell forever.
This view is also very popular among young soldiers. Most of these people have suffered from the disaster of slave hunters, and some even hate to destroy their families and villages.
Marshall, as the leader, did not advocate killing to solve the problem. The battle in Bastille has come to an end for a while, and the chief culprit, old Bolton, has paid the price. There is no need to carry out unnecessary bloodshed.
Now they are short of manpower. Rather than kill them like this, it is better to keep them and create more value. Knight level strong labor is a scarce resource.
After many discussions and disputes, the young army headed by Marshall, with the support of Sean, finally gained the upper hand. They were put in custody and strictly guarded. If there was any change, they were executed on the spot.
In dealing with the battlefield, the youth army has formed its own routine. All the corpses are buried in two corpse pits. The clothes on the body of those who have had direct contact with the corpses should not be burned on the spot. The armor weapons also need to be soaked and disinfected before entering the warehouse.
No one is careless about epidemic prevention, especially from the mouth of the bull Erickson that they are still followed by a big trouble - a group of knights carrying the disease, from top to bottom, Sean and several leaders of the juvenile army worked out the corresponding epidemic prevention regulations overnight.
In addition to the prohibition of drinking cold water, taking a bath frequently, changing clothes, disinfecting and cleaning, the relevant provisions are also made for the isolation and screening of suspected infectious diseases.
”Prevention is only a temporary measure. We must completely eliminate it from the root. We should simply gather a team of 100 people and directly shoot them from a long distance and bury them on the spot, and we'll be done with it.” Ralph suggested.
After the night attack, his performance was commendable. Sean used it very smoothly. Unconsciously, he had become a member of the core circle of the juvenile army. If he made a slightly important decision, Sean would send someone to call him over. The meaning of focusing on training was very obvious.
As a grassroots group formed by Shawn's personal influence, the youth army has no formal position and address, and its status depends on the relationship with Sean.
This situation should not last too long. Sean has consciously or unconsciously expressed his intention to reorganize the junior army, but lacks an appropriate opportunity.
”It's easy to say. If it's so simple, Erikson bull would have done it. Didn't you see the panic expression when he talked about the epidemic? It was not disguised, but from the heart. He was not forced to fall by us, but frightened by the disease behind his butt! That's a dozen regular Knights led by a great knight. Have you ever thought about how disastrous it would be to enrage them completely? ”
If Marshall and Ralph don't deal with each other, it refers to the huge differences in their style of conduct and values. Even if it is a tit for tat, it is also a strong basis, and it will not be arbitrary. This is Sean's bottom line.
It's fair and aboveboard, a benign competition with an incentive nature. If it is found that the two are right and wrong, they will be completely marginalized.
In Sean's original words, if a person's heart is crooked, even if it is corrected, it is difficult to ensure that he will not continue to grow crooked. He is not a doctor's nurse, and there is no need and energy to correct them.
”The epidemic is terrible, but it's strange that the bull Erikson, a man of iron and blood, should be frightened to look like this.”
McKee, the skull breaker, smashed his mouth with a look of regret. The destruction of Bastille was, of course, an exciting and glorious event, but for him there were two major regrets.
The first regret, of course, is to let old Burton, who has been in trouble for the Andes mountains for more than 30 years, to burn himself and crush his head with his own hands has always been his pursuit and dream.
Second, he and his general's armor failed to shine brilliantly in the battlefield. The bull Erikson, who he had identified as the biggest opponent, was cheated by himself. He cheated and demoted him. It seemed that he had lost more than half of his energy and spirit. McGee could not afford to compete with the other side.
”Everyone has something to fear. Some people are born afraid of height, some people are born afraid of insects, some people are born afraid of snakes and mice, and naturally some people are born afraid of epidemic diseases. I am afraid, I am scared to death, and who is not afraid of epidemic diseases? If we're not afraid, we won't have to sit here. ”Sean said it with dignity.
”At that time, there was a great plague in Erikson's hometown. There were no people and animals in the area of hundreds of kilometers. Erikson's tribe was in the disaster area, and he was the only one left to breathe. Can you imagine what kind of situation it was?”
