The masked witch named Amy narrowed her eyes, and the pierced wolf head paused for a moment, then a fierce flame brewing in her throat erupted violently!
"Pure magic?"
Even after using the Demon-Breaking Blade to cut off the restraints, Li Tianxiu still felt his limbs were extremely heavy.
It's gravity magic!
The four witches attacked at the same time!
Rumble!
The raging flames shot out more than twenty meters, surging like a tide and igniting the forest on the side.
And judging from the color of the fire, this is the fire that burned the entire city!
"My Lord Count!"
In front of the huge wolf head, Li Tianxiu looked like a tiny toothpick.
Seeing him engulfed by the horrible flames, Eric's heart sank into an icy cave.
However, the next second, Li Tianxiu's figure suddenly appeared on Reimu's long sword, and he gorgeously drew a curved red blade light in the air!
Crescent Slash!
The red thunder struck down from the giant wolf's head, severing its jaw with ease.
There was a loud bang and the entire wolf head exploded in the air.
"How can it be?!"
The killing move was broken, and the faces of the four witches turned pale as they continued to chant the spell.
But Li Tianxiu did not just stand there and watch as he fell. He held the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands and mobilized his vast mental power.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Three bolts of lightning struck from the sky and were sucked into Reimu's sword, forming a red vortex.
Several witches were horrified to find that the stones on the ground were shaking restlessly, and there was a faint feeling that they were being sucked into the sky.
The next second, the long sword chopped down fiercely.
The red thunder bared its fangs and claws, rushing towards the crowd like a dragon.
In an instant, the truck overturned to one side and the soldiers screamed with smoke coming out.
The solid ground was violently torn apart, and the shattered rocks flew ten meters high.
Relying on the magic shield, Amy barely withstood the knife, but Li Tianxiu's figure fell from a high altitude and quickly passed by her.
When he put away the demon-destroying dagger, blood spurted out from Amy's neck and heart, and she fell down in pain.
"kill!"
This scene, like a god descending from heaven, greatly boosted the morale of the Devya army.
They charged into the convoy with swords raised and fought with Loslak's soldiers.
"You are a bunch of fools. You are resisting the wheel of fate! You will die without a complete body!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the black-robed witch cursed hatefully and turned into a puff of black smoke.
But when the black smoke cleared, she was shocked to find that she was still standing there and could not be teleported out.
"Do you want to use the same move a second time?"
Li Tianxiu approached with a sneer, kicked her left leg and broke it, then put a dagger to her throat: "What do you mean by destiny?"
This is a magical world, where things like fate and prophecy are of reference value.
What he needs to judge now is who the Yellow Spring Raven might be loyal to.
"Humph!"
The black witch had cold sweat dripping from her forehead, but she had no intention of compromising and kept chanting spells in secret.
Feeling the magical fluctuations, Li Tianxiu could only frown. The dagger pierced her chin and crushed her brain.
Once the biggest threat is resolved, there is no suspense in the battle.
After ten minutes of fierce fighting, the Loslak team was defeated.
"Stop fighting! We surrender!"
An officer wearing a winged helmet dropped his sword and knelt in surrender.
But the angry Devya soldiers did not buy it and started killing the prisoners with their swords.
"Stop it all!"
Seeing this, Li Tianxiu immediately shouted to stop them.
"But, General, they killed many of our men!"
"Yes, they also burned the city! I don't mind if I am cut into pieces!"
The soldiers protested passionately, wanting only to execute the murderers.
Even Eric couldn't stand it anymore and whispered in Li Tianxiu's ear, "Count, we are running out of food. The food in these carts won't last for a few days. We don't have the capacity to take them with us.
If we let them go, it will probably expose our position, so it would be better to kill them."
Although not killing prisoners is a convention among countries, the hatred between the two sides cannot be resolved by the convention. If these prisoners are not killed, deserters may appear in the team.
"That general!
I am General Michilov's brother. If you take me with you to the next city, he will bring gold to redeem me!"
Seeing that everyone was shouting to kill the prisoners, the terrified officer immediately begged for mercy.
"Um……"
Li Tianxiu sighed and asked, "Where is Michilov's army?"
"In Cannia! They are besieging the city of Cannia!" the officer said hurriedly.
"very good."
Li Tianxiu nodded gently, and had the answer in his heart. He turned back to look at the other soldiers: "Look at the city behind you. Although it was burned here, they did not kill everyone.
If we kill them all today and tomorrow, then the Loslaks will break the treaty, and more innocent people will suffer! Do you understand?"
The soldiers clenched their teeth. Although they could understand the reason, the murderous intent in most of them's eyes remained.
"Tie them up first, then count the casualties! The rest of you, gather the food!"
Soldiers can be blinded by hatred, but as a general, Li Tianxiu must think further.
Because a general's reputation is important.
If the reputation of wantonly killing prisoners spreads, future enemies will fight to the death, causing greater casualties and making it more difficult to extract useful information from the prisoners.
After all, surrendering or confessing will result in death, so who would obey you?
What Li Tianxiu didn't expect was that just when Eric loaded the food into the car and was about to go back to reunite with Maeve, a group of uninvited guests blocked their way.
They were a group of ragged villagers, their heads covered with ashes, their cheeks scorched red by the high temperature.
A white-haired old man trembled and walked out of the team, knelt on one knee to salute, spread his hands in supplication, and said: "General, these grains were stolen from us by the Loslak people.
Now all our granaries have been burned down and the crops in our fields have been destroyed.
Please have mercy on us and return the food to us..."
"This……"
Li Tianxiu frowned immediately and fell into a dilemma.
These carts of food seemed to be a lot, but he had more than 200 men under his command. If they were distributed to the villagers, it would be difficult for them to continue their march.
But if we don’t give it to them, both the soldiers and the people will probably feel disheartened…
Chapter 403 Doubt
"General, we can't give them that."
Although he expressed sympathy for the residents who looked like dirt, Eric still advised them: "The situation of our troops is already very bad, and we still have to rescue the city of Cannia. We can't do without these grains."
"Yes, General. This is what we paid for with our lives! We can't give it to them."
"We need to replenish our strength so that we can better kill the enemy!"
The soldiers were united in their opinions, and their hearts were filled with the desire for revenge.
Li Tianxiu took a deep breath, lowered his head and asked, "How long can the food we count last?"
"The expenses for so many people can only last for four days."
Eric answered quietly, and added, “There are still thousands of townspeople left here. The Loslaks are keeping them alive just to deliberately drag down our combat power.
Giving them food won’t solve the problem, don’t be fooled! ”
Seeing this, the townspeople also started shouting, trying to break through the guards' blockade.
"General, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
"Without this food, we won't survive for more than three days!"
"Look at my baby, look at my baby..."
"Um……"
Although the two sides were strangers, Li Tianxiu couldn't help feeling embarrassed by this issue.
Intellectually speaking, in this emergency situation, retaining the combat effectiveness of the troops is the best option.
But he would feel guilty if he let these civilians fend for themselves.
"If only Zhao Miaomiao were here..." Li Tianxiu couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Miaomiao's alchemy can give birth to plants. Although it cannot solve the problem once and for all, it can solve many problems.
But there was no other way. Li Tianxiu took out the map and examined it for a while. After a little thought, he issued an order: "Take out half of it and distribute it to the townspeople. There is just enough space on the truck for people to sit.
Let's change our route, we should be able to find other supplies along the way."
"General..."
"This is an order!"
With these words, the soldiers' objections were suppressed. They reluctantly unloaded half of the food from the cart and piled it in front of the mayor.
“Eric, you lead them here to maintain order and prevent looting.
The rest of you, follow me back to put out the fire."
Looking at the fire that had not yet been extinguished, Li Tianxiu was about to take his people away.
Just as he passed by the village chief, a curse suddenly came from the crowd.
"It's obviously ours, why did you take half of it?"
"What's the difference between you and the Losraks?"
"hypocrite!"
"robber!"
Once there is one, there will be another. More and more townspeople followed suit and cursed, with malice in their eyes.
"What did you say!"
"Want a whip?"
The soldiers were furious and subconsciously pulled out the whips to drive away the prisoners.
"The soldiers and townspeople are dissatisfied with the way you handled the situation. Your reputation has been reduced by 5 points."
Seeing the prompt in the space, Li Tianxiu narrowed his eyes, gently raised his hand, and said, "Stop it."
Human nature was indeed not as optimistic as he had imagined. These townspeople did not understand his situation, nor were they willing to care about the future of the empire.
