Chapter 30: Superfluous Stupidity
In the Thermopylae Valley, the bloody atmosphere finally dissipated a little long after the killing. Wiping the blood on the sword, the ambushers had ended everything, and the poor Venetians were not spared. From the moment they stepped on
The fate of death was already determined when entering here, even the last desperate struggle was of no use.
"You're sure it's correct, not a single thing is missing, right?" The old man on the horse asked again to confirm.
"We have eliminated all of them without leaving a single person alive. Please rest assured, Your Excellency." A man who looked like a commander came out and replied. It was he who led this army to perfectly carry out the ambush of the Venetian massacre.
.
The arrogant old man nodded and said: "Very good, now that everything is over, get ready to leave!"
"That's it, but -" The stunned man couldn't help but be a little surprised when the old man gave the order.
"But what? Do you have any doubts about my decision, Seliggs?" the old man said coldly.
"Of course... of course not, Your Excellency, but at least these corpses must be burned and disposed of! It would be terrible if Lord Justinian discovers it!" As the commander of this army, Selig
Si was so frightened by the aggressive momentum of the other party that he lowered his head. But he still expressed his thoughts. It was too inappropriate for so many Venetian corpses to be placed here.
But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the old man wearing a cloak: "Master Justinian, he is just a young kid. He can't even find a place like this, so why bother?
How stupid!”
After saying that, the old man turned around and ordered the remaining people to clean up the battlefield and prepare to leave, completely ignoring the angry expressions on the faces of Seliggs and the others behind him.
In fact, these soldiers are not from Leosgros, but the personal guards temporarily lent to Justinian by the nobles of Moria in order to deal with these Venetians. But now that everything is over, as a small
Although they were born into noble families, they still had to accept the instructions of this old man.
Although the old man's identity is just a small noble housekeeper, they have to be wary because behind him is Duke Leo. Although that man was exiled by Justinian before, if he succeeds this time
Returning to Moria will definitely lead to a return to the pinnacle of power, which is not something that minor nobles like them can offend.
However, having said that, looking at the old man from behind, these aristocratic guards with a high background looked at the old man with deep contempt in private, especially when they looked at the other party giving orders, they started to whisper.
"Hmph, this old guy is just using that bastard Leo who colludes with foreign enemies to suppress us. What a villain."
"It's just that the enemy we are fighting together now is Justinian. What's more, we are only obeying Count Conil's orders. How dare he dare to dictate to us like this!"
"I can't help it. He is a dog of Leosgros, but he still has the right to tell us what to do. What kind of world is this!"
These insinuations were half-hidden, but they were not afraid of being heard by the other party. They immediately caused a burst of snickering among the soldiers, and the old man riding on the horse felt a burning sensation on his cheeks, as if he had been directly touched by someone.
It was like a slap in the face several times. It was obvious that since Leosgros was exiled by Justinian, this once prominent nobleman in Moria had been completely discredited, and even the traffickers and lackeys despised him.
Deep hatred flashed in his eyes. Although his heart was full of resentment, the old man still didn't say anything at this time. Even though Leosgros was behind him, he couldn't make the situation too tense after all. The most important thing now was to immediately
After leaving here, my master's actions in Tripolis should have already begun. It would be terrible if something goes wrong here.
…
"Let's go!"
After counting the number of people, the old man who brought the assembled army to the mountain pass and prepared to leave ordered that since his mission had been completed, the most important thing next was to leave this ghost place as soon as possible before being noticed by Justinian.
The butler of Duke Leosgros, he naturally hates that lowly young boy, but he has also seen the terror of his power. He is not willing to be targeted by him again -
However, at this moment, he discovered that Commander Serigos, who was supposed to leave with him, was not with him for some time. Where did he go after only a while? The old man on the horse glanced around, hesitating.
After a moment, he suddenly saw a line of black smoke rising into the sky behind him. The old man who immediately realized something was wrong quickly led his people back to the valley where they had ambushed the Venetian before.
The smell of burning smell made his heart sink even more.
Shouting something bad in his heart, he hurried over and hurried over, only to see that Serrigs, the captain of the guard, and several of his men had already lit the corpse piled with firewood with torches, turning it into a blazing fire.
"Asshole, are you crazy?!" The roaring old man jumped off his horse and almost pounced on him, but it was already too late. "You will attract Justinian here, didn't you think of this?"
Of course he considered destroying the corpses and eradicating traces, but considering
The thick smoke produced by burning the corpse might be discovered, so he chose not to deal with it. However, he never expected that these idiots in front of him would lead his men to do such a thing secretly, which immediately made him furious.
Light fire.
Seeing the unstoppable thick smoke rising into the sky, Serrigs also became a little panicked. As the captain of Count Conil's guard, he was just a pampered little nobleman who only liked to have fun and have sex a few times.
On the battlefield, I never expected that burning corpses would cause such a big noise. After looking at each other for a moment with several of my subordinates, I could only half-luckily defend myself: "It's very hidden here, and no one will be able to find it!"
"Then you pray to God that Justinian doesn't happen to find out when he passes by here!" The old man, trembling with anger, gritted his teeth and immediately ordered everyone to leave here immediately. Now they must race against time, and staying here for a moment will make a difference.
One point exposes the risk of position.
The old man, whose plan was completely disrupted by this stupid unnecessary move, could no longer care about anything. The previous calm and leisurely time disappeared, and the original atmosphere suddenly became tense. The group retreated immediately, anxiously racing against time, almost escaping for their lives.
They rushed towards the mountain pass, fearing that Justinian might appear at any time and cut off their retreat.
Since the Thermopylae Valley could be the death place of the Venetians or their graves, as soon as they met the large army waiting at the mountain pass, everyone immediately evacuated non-stop towards the valley. However, they did not know that this small
