Staff Officer Kyle's words were cold and without any emotion, as if he was describing an objective fact.
Major Downey said nothing.
He just waved his hand gently, signaling his personal guards to take Staff Officer Kyle out of the camp.
During this process, his expression did not change at all, and he did not look like his closest comrade was about to be executed.
Instead, it seemed like in the past, after the daily meeting, the two of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.
However, Allen could feel that the atmosphere in the military camp was particularly solemn at this moment.
Although it is spring with a warm and pleasant climate, for the people in this military camp, it feels like they are in a freezing cold winter.
The moment Staff Officer Kyle was about to leave the military camp, he suddenly turned around, faced Major Downey behind the desk, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Sir, I once saw light in a dream, endless light... it... it swallowed up the entire plane... it is impossible for us to defeat it..."
But Major Downey was indifferent.
He sat motionless on the chair, watching silently as Staff Officer Kyle was dragged out of the camp by the guards.
Then he sighed softly and looked at Allen, who was standing in the shadows and dressed as "Soldier Warner".
"Who are you?" Major Downey asked Allen seriously, "How did you find out that Staff Officer Kyle was secretly communicating with the Church of Light?"
Hearing his words, Allen smiled, took a few steps forward, came to him and said, "I'm from the capital, and as for who I am specifically, that doesn't matter.
"If you want to ask me how I found out that Staff Officer Kyle was secretly collaborating with the enemy... it's simple, sir, you trust your staff officer so much that you never doubted him.
"But to me, the secret relationship between Staff Officer Kyle and the Church of Light is clearly displayed in broad daylight."
Major Downey was silent for a long time, and then replied: "You are right. I do believe him too much."
At this moment, based on the various performances of "Soldier Warner", Major Downey has basically guessed that this person is definitely not the dull ordinary soldier in the past, but a big shot who is unwilling to reveal his identity.
Because there seems to be a unique temperament in this "Soldier Warner" - a temperament that is only possessed by big shots who have been in high positions for a long time. Major Downey has only seen it in commanders in the Kingdom's army.
Previously, Major Downey had just wondered whether "Soldier Warner" might also be an undercover agent sent by the Church of Light. Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, he decisively betrayed his companions in order to survive.
But now, Major Downey has completely put such thoughts out of his mind.
Because the invisible aura of "Soldier Warner" cannot come from a sneaky spy.
There is no doubt that this is the aura that comes with the god of darkness.
As long as ordinary people get close to Allen, they will involuntarily trust him, identify with him, and obey him.
It is precisely because of this that Allen chose to enter this military camp majestically as "Soldier Warner".
"Trust does make you blind," Allen said lightly, "but without trust, we will be unable to move forward."
"So, this... sir, can you tell me what I should do next?" Unknowingly, Major Downey addressed Allen with an honorific, and his tone gradually became more humble.
"Keep your current mentality and don't be affected by Kyle." Allen replied.
Major Downey nodded seriously.
"In addition," Allen spoke while bending down to pick up the round glasses dropped by Staff Officer Kyle from the ground, "Didn't Consultant Kyle make an appointment with the Church of Light to meet outside Rose Town at dawn?
Really? I plan to pretend to be him, negotiate with people from the Church of Light, and find out some information."
"Do you need my manpower to help?" Major Downey asked.
"No need," Allen said calmly, "excessive manpower will only cause more trouble for me."
"Then what if your identity is exposed or you are in danger——"
"——Don't worry," Allen said with a smile, "When I encounter danger, even if I can't defeat the opponent, there is no problem in escaping."
"Then... I wish you good luck!" Major Downey thought for a long time and finally came up with a suitable blessing.
"Thank you." Alan replied.
In his opinion, the Braden Kingdom is very lucky to have an officer like Major Downey.
Although this major officer has an old-fashioned character, he is loyal to his duty and considers the interests of the Braden Kingdom at all times; when his closest comrade commits treason, he is still unselfish and sends him away without hesitation.
On the gallows.
Thinking of this, Allen turned around and left the camp.
…………
After Allen left the camp, Major Downey was still sitting in his chair, motionless, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture.
The guards standing guard all around knew that Major Downey was in a bad mood right now.
Because of this, no one dared to come forward and disturb him.
In this way, that night, Major Downey stayed up all night.
There seemed to be a few more white hairs on his temples overnight.
It wasn't until dawn came, and the sky to the east showed a faint hint of fish belly white, that Major Downey sighed and slowly stood up from his chair.
"Sorry, Kyle," he was heard whispering to himself, "please forgive me for having to do this.
"You are right. The Church of Light is indeed very powerful, and our hope of defeating it is indeed slim. However, isn't our honor as soldiers reflected in this kind of battle where we know that we cannot do anything?
?”
No one answered him.
Because at this time, the Staff Officer Kyle mentioned in his words had turned into a warm corpse, hanging on the gallows, swaying in the cool breeze of dawn, like a pickled salted fish.
…………
As for Allen, after leaving Major Downey's military camp, with the help of Saint Isabella of the Dark Temple, he turned into the appearance of Staff Officer Kyle, wearing the round-framed eyes as a communication tool, riding
Get on a horse and walk towards the sycamore tree at the west entrance of Rose Town - that is the meeting place agreed by Staff Officer Kyle and the Church of Light.
Advisor Kyle was originally a pawn used by the Church of Light to obtain internal information about the Kingdom of Braden.
Now, Allen is trying to use this chess piece to deceive the internal intelligence of the Church of Light.
