Realizing what these two people were going to do to him, Teo hurriedly begged:
"Please wait! I just can't sleep at night, so I just come here for a walk! Why kill me?!"
"Because you saw our fleet." The man said in a plain tone while untiing the hemp rope that tied Teo to the trunk. "This fleet is related to the destiny of our country and cannot be discovered by anyone. It is because he does not want anyone to discover this fleet that we let the fleet move late at night."
--fleet?
——Are those big ships?!
"I won't say it!" Teo continued to beg, "I won't say everything I saw tonight! Please believe me! I swear!"
"...I'm sorry." The soldier was silent for a while, "Please forgive me. This is my duty, and my mission is to not let anyone get close to the river bank and discover our fleet."
"Anyone who discovers our fleet, whether civilians or not, will be killed."
"You should regard your sacrifice as our country's dedication."
Speaking of this, the soldier just untied the hemp rope that tied Teo to the trunk.
After the hemp rope on his body was untied, Teo subconsciously wanted to escape from here.
However - as an ordinary farmer, how could he move faster than a well-trained soldier?
Before Teo could run out 2 steps, he was captured by the soldier and then dragged to the river not far away.
"Please spare me!" Teo begged for mercy in tears, "I still have two young children and older mothers! They all rely on me to support me! If I am gone, they will starve to death! Please let me go! I swear I won't tell you what I saw tonight!"
"……Feel sorry."
The soldier, who was verbally sorry, still had no hesitation at all, dragging Teo to the river like a pig.
Seeing that begging for mercy failed, under the influence of the desire to survive, Special O began to ask for help frantically, shouting "Help" one after another.
However——At this time, who will be by the river?
Those who are staying by the river now are all accomplices of this soldier.
After pulling Teo to the river, the soldier pressed Teo's head into the cold river.
The big river water blocked Teo's mouth, nose, and trachea.
Teo struggled wildly out of instinct, and the soldier could hardly hold him back.
After about a minute, Teo gradually stopped moving and his hands fell softly to the ground.
After Teo was not moved, the soldier pulled Teo out of the river and touched the pulse on his neck. After confirming Teo was indeed dead, the soldier placed Teo's body by the river.
After the soldier put down Teo's body, the officer who had just walked quickly to the soldier.
"How? Dead?"
"Um."
"Twist his body into the river, so that others will think that he fell into the water and drowned, rather than being killed."
"yes."
"Please cheer me up!" The officer whispered, "As long as you patrol carefully and stop this poor man before he approaches the river bank, he may not have to die!"
"yes……"
"The punishment for you will be issued to you after you return to the military camp. Quickly deal with this person's body and continue patrolling. Don't make mistakes again this time. I don't want to do such cruel things to my compatriots. You shouldn't want to do such cruel things to your compatriots, right?"
"Yes……"
"Since that's true, then cheer me up! If I find that an unrelated person has passed the jurisdiction you are responsible for and reached the river bank, you can wait for a whip!"
"yes……"
...
...
The 295th year of the imperial calendar of the Britannian Empire.
February 10.
Kingdom of Schuper, eastern border, city of Bruges.
Bruges is a city located on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Schuper and is the border city closest to the Frankish Empire.
Although the Kingdom of Shupel is an "absolutely neutral country" and has not launched wars to the outside world since its founding, and the Britannian Empire and the Frank Empire that were sandwiched in the middle have never launched invasions against it, as a country, it still has to have national defense.
In order to prevent the Frank Empire, nearly one-third of the national military power of the Kingdom of Schuper was gathered in the city of Bruges, located on the eastern border.
Although "has gathered nearly one-third of the country's military power" - such a name is very scary, there are only 6,000 soldiers across the country in the Shupel Kingdom.
In other words, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in the city of Bruges.
It was early morning, and outside the city of Bruges, there were many light cavalry patrolling the border.
It's still February and it's early in the morning, so the temperature is quite low.
The light cavalry patrolling the border line monitored the movements on the border and blew hot to their hands.
"It's so cold..." One of the soldiers said to his comrades beside him, "I hope the climate will warm up soon..."
"Huh...yes, it's really cold...well? Hey, there's something wrong!"
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, their entire patrol officers quickly cheered up and looked in the direction the soldier pointed at his finger.
On the other side of the border, a large group of people were sneaking at the border of their Shupel Kingdom.
These people appeared on the other side of the border, so their identities were self-evident.
These sneaky Franks are almost crossing their borders.
"This is the territory of the Kingdom of Schuper!" The commander of the Kingdom of Schuper patrol team led his subordinates to rush over, shouting loudly in Frankish, "Get out quickly!"
After seeing the border patrols of the Kingdom of Schuper arrived, the sneaky Franks quickly withdrew from the border line of the Kingdom of Schuper and quickly left the place.
After confirming that the Franks had completely left their field of vision, the generals and soldiers of the patrol whispered.
"It's the Frank again..."
"What the hell are they here for?"
"Is it my illusion? I always feel that more and more Frank people have appeared on the border recently."
"Are they inquiring about information?"
"Don't be stupid. Even if the Franks want to inquire about the information, they should go and inquire about the information of the Britannia Empire. Why do we inquire about the information of our Shupel Kingdom?"
"Well...want to attack us?"
