Chapter 312 Wolf and Cangling's Conversation

"Stop! She's innocent!" Downton yelled to stop him.

No one listened to him, and everyone poured their anger on the lady in black, beating her face to the point of blood, and someone took the opportunity to tear her clothes, exposing her body to the public.

"Don't make trouble!" The guards rushed forward to pull away the angry crowd.

"Hahahaha!" At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind the execution platform.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Colin who was being escorted by the guards.

"This is your face, this is your nature, and you will only vent your anger on weaker people!" Colin shouted at the crowd, "Seeing you like this makes me feel pitiful and ridiculous!"

"Shut your mouth!" The guards covered Colin's mouth with cloth strips.

"The execution begins!" The executioner put the rope around Downton's neck.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Downton was executed.

This once mighty family, descendants of the founding fathers, ended their lives in this way.

Since then, there is no Downton family in the world, and the only collaterals have changed their names and hid in the mountains.

A period of history came to an end, and countless innocent people were buried with it.

They may not know the grievances between the Queen and Downton in this life, and they don't know that their struggle lasted for nearly 20 years, but they died because of it.

Die silently and without value.

Downton can still be left in the history books for future generations to comment on, but they were submerged in the torrent of time without even leaving a name.

Cang Ling, who stood in the distance and witnessed all this, turned around and walked back silently.

She didn't go back to the station, but came to the lake alone, and sat down in a place where no one was around.

"Zero, why are you here alone?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Cang Ling hurriedly turned his head and saw that it was Wolfe.

"I've been looking for you everywhere. The queen said she would commend you for your outstanding performance in the battle to retake the Holy City." Wolfe sat next to Cang Ling.

Hearing this, Cang Ling didn't show any happy expression, she lowered her head.

"What's the matter? You don't look happy." Wolff asked gently.

"Captain, I always feel that something is not right." Cang Ling said looking at his reflection in the water.

"What's wrong?"

"The queen was planning to attack Downton and the others more than ten years ago, right?"

"Correct."

"The battle of Crotor Village...was it part of her operation?"

Hearing this question, Wolf showed a hesitant expression.

"Did the queen discover Downton's base at that time?"

"Why do you say that?"

"She discovered Downton's secret base, and then guessed his intentions. So she decided to use the base to kill Downton... As a result, her wings were not yet full at that time, so this matter was eventually dismissed." She suppressed it. But she still achieved part of her wish, successfully increased the budget of the Hurricane Knight, and formed her own confidant, the Royal Knights."

Wolff listened to Cang Ling's reasoning, but did not say a word.

"The Royal Knights seem to be the queen's guard, but they are actually the bargaining chips she uses to trade with emerging forces, so all the knights in the regiment are the sons of big merchants, earls, and marquises. She promises them in exchange for their support. These Over the years, the Royal Knights have been secretly dealing with Downton and the others!"

"Zero, you think too much."

"This incident is also true." Speaking of this, Cang Ling's voice was already choked up, "The queen suddenly attacked Miles Sanchee and Schroeder in order to force Downton to take action. Only when Downton made a move, can she It is justifiable to crusade Downton. That is to say, the queen knew that Downton would occupy the holy city and open the shield of Alifons, but she chose to facilitate this by herself."

"She obviously arranged so many people in advance, but she didn't move. Because if not enough people died in this incident, everyone's hatred for Downton would not be deep enough, and she would not be able to take the opportunity to completely overthrow the Downton Group!"

"Zero, don't think about it..." Wolfe reached out to pat Cang Ling's shoulder, but Cang Ling shook him off.

"She already knew the truth about the stalker and the pretender!" Cang Ling shouted, "but she chose to hide it. Because she wanted Downton to continue to do evil, the bigger the better, otherwise she would not have enough reason to deal with them..."

After sobbing for a while, Cang Ling sat down again, hugged his head and shrank his body.

"Captain, am I unconsciously acting as an accomplice to the Queen? Is everything I do right? I don't know what is right and what is wrong now, my mind is so confused..."

"Zero, listen." Wolf hugged Cang Ling's shoulders and said seriously, "No matter what you hear from Downton and the others, it's not true. Don't be disturbed by the words of the enemy."

"Did the Queen release the Night Demon that attacked Cloto Village?" Cang Ling raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes.

"Of course not. If the queen had that kind of power back then, why did she wait until today? Isn't the crime of cultivating night devils privately enough to be punished with death?"

"The queen is not a bad person, is she? Everything she does is for the future of Xinghai, right?"

"Zero, your way of thinking is wrong." Wolfe changed into a gentle tone, "There is no absolute good or bad in the world, and there is no immutable principle. The criterion for dividing friend from foe is not justice or not, but whether the goals are the same. "

"You mean, in order to achieve your goals, you can also ignore morality?"

Wolfe looked at Cang Ling for a while, and then replied: "Recite the content of Chapter 8, Chapter 6 of the knight's manual."

Cang Ling was stunned for a moment, but she obeyed obediently: "Principle of the wounded first: When there are wounded in the team who have lost combat capabilities, the wounded should be evacuated first and transported to a safe area to ensure that the wounded receive effective rescue."

"Very good, memorize Chapter 8, Article 13 of the knight's handbook again."

"...When the situation is severe and it is impossible to break out normally, destroy the heavy equipment and abandon the seriously wounded."

"Tell me, are these two completely opposite regulations consistent with moral standards?"

"This..." Cang Ling looked at Wolfe in embarrassment.

"In the first case, because other people have self-rescue ability, the priority is to transfer the wounded, which can minimize the loss of personnel. The wounded who have been treated can return to the battlefield in the future. In this case, the medical and rescue costs are expensive. Meaningful." Wolfe replied for Cangling, "The second situation, when it is no longer possible to ensure that everyone is saved, abandon the seriously wounded, increase the chances of the remaining personnel breaking through, and avoid the end of total annihilation, in this case The price paid is also worthwhile.”

Hearing this, Cang Ling showed an indescribable expression on his face.

"When we joined the group, we all said that when we entered the Hurricane, we had already prepared the awareness of sacrifice. So what do you think everyone's awareness is based on? Morality? Justice? Or the common goal of the whole group?"
