Chapter 601 New Stuff
Most people didn’t move. This was not because they were really afraid of getting their hands dirty, but because everyone was confused at the moment and many people hadn’t reacted yet. What kind of command is the "obey orders" that Sui Jue said?
As for those who had contacted the preface and roughly guessed what would happen next, most of them were stuck in place like nails, hanging their heads desperately, trying their best not to let the sin lord notice themselves.
Only a few people walked out of the queue and actually took a step forward.
There are only a dozen of these people. In addition to those warriors who are truly enlightened, there are still a few who have not understood the situation and feel that if they come out now, they can show off to the new noble in front of them. Makes a good impression on people.
Willow and Varez both wanted to say something, but Lord Sin did not give them a chance and just named them lightly...
"Carlo, Andrea, Sammy."
The three people left the crowd in silence and walked to stand in front of the Lord of Sin.
"Emre, Alex, Blaise Sandro."
Three people walked out of the team again, and Willow keenly noticed a detail in the process, That's because there are two people named Bryce in this team, so Sin Lord specially added his last name when he named him.
[He...remembered everyone's names? I remember that he only glanced at the roster at the beginning. If it was just that one glance, it would be too...]
Willow was shocked. More than that, she found that Varese next to her also showed his face. He had a surprised expression on his face, obviously thinking the same thing as himself.
"Rod Diego, Silver Ingot, Federico, Black Branch."
Four more people came out and lined up silently in front of the Sin Lord.
“Your Excellency!”
Willow finally couldn't help it anymore and stared into the Lord of Sin's eyes with burning eyes. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes were extremely firm.
Varez also looked over, standing straight like a javelin.
"Okay, I understand."
Mo just smiled faintly, without asking a word, just waved his hand gently: "Emre, Black Branch, go back .”
The two people were stunned when their name was called for the second time, but they didn’t say anything more. Well, they just turned around and walked back to the team silently, feeling deeply relieved in their hearts, because although they knew what was going to happen and thought they were enough to undertake the next 'task', but before and after they left the queue just now, they saw Looking at the frightened faces in the square, I was struggling again inside.
In the end, they were ordered to return to the team by the Lord of Sin, which made the two of them feel a little lucky.
Obviously, in the process of selecting people, Mo was not as simple as just reporting a few names. First of all, those who did not understand their status were not selected, and those who were brave only started to feel anxious after being ranked out. Mu Lei and Kurozugai were not named, and then none of the women listed were named.
Willow and Varez are not fools. They both see the intentions of the Lord of Sin, so at this moment they are grateful to each other from the bottom of their hearts.
"The others dispersed where they were and found a place to rest."
The Lord of Sin gave the order again, and then narrowed his eyes and added: "Don't think wildly."
"Yes..."
More than two hundred people immediately dispersed on the spot after a brief response. Even those soldiers who didn't know what was about to happen were a little depressed by the surrounding atmosphere, and quickly They turned around and left. After working hard for most of the day, everyone was not in a good mental state. They really needed to rest.
As for those who can't rest yet...
"You go to the outside of the square and wait for orders."
The Sin Lord waved away the eight who were hit by him. The person, then turned to look at Willow and Varez behind him who were hesitant to speak, and smiled: "There is still some time, what do you want to say?"
"Your Excellency..."
Willow suddenly looked up at the other party, but after being silent for a while, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Why...why did you do this?"
Sin Jue looked at her with some confusion and asked: "How to do it?"
"It's just...the order you just said...that's not..."
Willow He stumbled while speaking. Although his words were incomplete, they were not difficult to understand.
"Oh, that."
The Sin Lord understood it, but after hesitating for a long time, he spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Because I am a coward, I let you two help me make the final decision. It's okay to say it's self-deception, but it does make me feel better... I'm really sorry."
Varez was anxious at the time: "We didn't mean that, Your Excellency, since this is the idea. I figured it out, so why do you still want to..."
"Because I am just a little cowardly, and I will not lose my responsibility."
Sui Jue interrupted lightly. He looked at Varèse and said with a smile: "The Duke of Fosset entrusted everyone to me. If this is the case, this order is not mine to give, should it be yours?"
"..."
Both of them were silent. They did think so at first, but they didn't expect that the Sin Lord had already decisively issued the order before Varese finished expressing his position...< br>
'According to my observation', 'According to my judgment', 'Mr. Varèse and Ms. Willow have some complaints', 'I am qualified to ask you to obey orders'.
With the above words, he took the two people out and took all the responsibility on himself.
“We cannot make fun of the lives of more than 400 soldiers just for peace of mind.”
The Sin Lord sighed softly, looked back at the townspeople gathered in the square, and said calmly: "After considering all the details and weighing all possibilities, this answer is actually not difficult to come up with at all. What is in front of us is actually a scale. On one side are more than 200 civilians mixed with unknown number of rebels, and on the other side are more than 400 people including us. Warrior, after abandoning the idea of taking chances, we can only choose one side after all. We cannot afford to take risks, and those innocent people are destined to sacrifice."
Willow's face darkened: "But you should not bear it alone. . ”
“No, in fact, no one should be responsible for this, including the rebels.”
The Sin Lord smiled slightly and shrugged: "But if you must choose someone to give this order and bear this responsibility, believe me, no one is more suitable than me. Don't forget, you two are just I am just an officer directly under the Duke of Fossey's army, and I have a noble title, and I am even more fortunate to be appreciated by the Grand Duke of Garros. I have the same responsibility. If I am held accountable, I will at least have a chance to explain all this, but if it were the two of you...with all due respect, if it gets too big, none of you will be able to escape unscathed."
Willow. and Varez both opened their mouths, but no one said anything. After all, they had indeed had this idea before, and they had even slandered the Duke of Sin because of this in their hearts.
What's ridiculous is that this truth is now being used by the other party to convince them who were originally unwilling to do so.
For a moment, Willow and Varez had mixed feelings.
Admittedly, there are not many stories of mass killings during covert operations in order to protect themselves or block information during the war. Even outside of this game, this kind of thing has happened in the history of real wars. thing.
This has nothing to do with morality, good or evil, it is just a series of simple multiple-choice questions. Compared with "I die, you live", the vast majority of people will still prefer "You die, I live'.
Li Fu, who was still serving the Sin Lord as 'Daun Butler', lowered his head and smiled slightly. He knew very well that from the moment Mo stepped into this town, the people here In fact, the outcome has been determined. The only difference is what kind of process it will go through.
Then he witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. Although he kept a proper distance, it was meaningless to Li Fu, who had a lot of Tianzhu Mountain's secret skills. He saw a perfect performance completely, although he could only imitate it. He was vaguely aware of His Excellency's intention, but it did not prevent the 'Soul of Abel' from sincerely admiring the former.
To be honest, the details just mentioned are insignificant on the surface, but they are very likely to trigger a series of chain reactions that are not optimistic...
Of course, the so-called 'not optimistic' It's just that Li Fu Astor's previous position has nothing to do with his current position.
Although this new partner was far less sincere than His Majesty William, and even made him feel a little shuddering, it was this shuddering that made him full of confidence in future cooperation...
< br>What you care about is not who gave the order at all, but who made the decision. And no matter who investigates and exhausts all means to investigate, he can only hear what he wants others to hear. Look. See what he wants others to see, know what he wants others to know. To be honest, when he made up his mind to stand beside the Sin Lord, the latter actually didn't need to do anything extra to be invincible, but he still did not ignore any details or reveal any flaws.
[No one can stop him, not the rebels from Kangda's territory, not William Bohe... Tianzhu Mountain... maybe not either! 】
Lifo Astor, who was ready to continue being 'Dawn', laughed silently, his eyes shining with excitement.
……
Ten minutes later
The Sin Lord and the ten 'executors', including Willow and Varez, stood in front of the more than 200 people in the square, silently watching the frightened faces.
"Willow, Emre, take the children away."
The Sin Lord silently drew the sword from his waist, his voice as cold as frost.
"Yes..."
The two of them did not hesitate at all, but quickly walked into the crowd and carried out the order.
"You...what are you going to do?!"
A half-orc woman stared straight at her forcibly taken away child for a while, and suddenly howled at the top of her lungs: "Take Kai Give it back to me! Give Kai back... uh..."
The blood burst out, and the moment the children who were taken away by Willow turned the first corner, the woman covered her head He fell to the ground softly, holding his neck.
"Twenty minutes..."
Mo gently shook off the blood on the tip of the sword, and looked back at the eight people behind him: "Let's begin."

[Welcome back, the chaotic and evil Merlin, who is about to enter the realm of innocence, wish you a good night]
......
"It's 'night' again, maybe I should drink less." The frequency in the laboratory, haha, anyway, those guys who only dare to play with eukaryotic genomes are not worth paying attention to . ”
A dirty old dwarf suddenly appeared in the corner of a thatched house. He had gray hair, and the short robe on his body was so dirty that it was difficult to distinguish the color, and it also exuded a strange smell. , and it's not the strange smell that will appear if you don't take a shower for a long time, but something more weird and pungent.
“Material, material… you can never have too much material…”
He quickly lifted up the haystack under him, revealing a pile of bottles and cans that were as dirty as himself. He grinned, and after counting the pile of things at high speed, he picked up a few bottles. He stuffed his bag into it, then covered it with hay again, stood up and sneaked out.
Yes, there is never too much material, and he is going to find it now. Although there may not be any good opportunities at this time, it will be even more difficult to find someone after midnight, especially In the days after the two previous experimental subjects disappeared, those stupid mediocre people were very vigilant.
"You should feel honored to be able to become the cornerstone of truth~"
The old man named Merlin muttered, carefully concealing his figure while walking quickly on the street , a pair of bright light gray eyes kept looking around, but...
"No one? Where did everyone die?"
At the moment when Merlin muttered in surprise, a faint wailing sound suddenly came from a distance, followed by a faint smell of blood.
【Oh! There are dead people! 】
The old man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly staggered towards the center of the town.
……
Riselus Town, the town square
"Hey!"
An old and sharp voice sounded in the distance, which seemed particularly abrupt among the wailing and curses.
With no trace of blood on his face, Varèse looked back stiffly, only to find a crazy old dwarf man running towards this side. As he ran, he screamed excitedly: "Hey! Are you killing people? Are you killing people? Kill him!"
Without any hesitation, Varèse immediately clenched the long sword that had been poured into dark red and walked towards the old man as if fleeing. This would at least prevent him from looking back. Take a look at the miserable scene behind you, which is like a living hell.
But...
"Let me go and have a look."
The Sin Lord, whose hands, face, and even his mask were covered in blood, held Varese's shoulders unsteadily.
Varez knows that this gentleman is far less powerful than himself, so the 'problem' that he can solve with one sword is likely to require two or three swords. In addition, due to his injuries, this will The son seemed to be on the verge of collapse. On the premise that he owed the other party a big favor, he immediately He stopped, nodded and said, "I'll excuse you, sir."
So, Mo temporarily left the boring and sleepy killing center, and stopped in front of the old man, covered in blood: "Player ?”
“Yes, I am a player.”
The old dwarf nodded indifferently, then continued to stretch his neck to look at the center of the square, and asked excitedly: "Are you killing people?"
"Yes, you are killing people."
" People in the town?”
“Yes, including you in theory.”
“It doesn’t matter, but before you kill me, can you let me try this?”
The old dwarf took out a dirty little black bottle from his bag and said hopefully and enthusiastically: "This can also kill people! Ideally, it can kill people much faster than you! I can give it to you! As long as it can kill people, I just need to watch the process of taking effect. Of course, it would be better if I could record the test conditions of different races. Then you can kill me if you want to."
"What's in the bottle! ?”
“It’s a good thing.”
“What a good thing?”
"I see... Then you go and give it a try."
"Okay! By the way, help me get a paper and pen. You can remember what I say in a while. It doesn't matter if the writing is sloppy. I understand, okay? As long as you are willing to help, there is no problem in killing me later."
"Of course, please, this old gentleman."
