Brutus stood outside the cell of the guard barracks, listening to the cry of the prisoners inside, and the sound of confession from time to time, and hugged his hands in front of his chest and silently.
He had no right to evaluate and stop this cruel method. Although he thought it was unreasonable from the bottom of his heart to do so, he also agreed that one era had another method.
"Are you okay?" Brutus asked, holding back the discomfort of his nose when he saw that Virlit's cloak was filled with blood from the splatter.
Virlitt replied calmly: "This is the evil of necessity, Brutus."
Brutus looked at Virlitt deeply and nodded silently.
"Maybe I will do this one day." The whisper of Virlit was captured by Brutus, who was tense. He sighed imperceptibly and took a step to follow Virlit.
Special footsteps.
The two walked out of the gate of the guard battalion and walked on the streets in the center of Tatto town under the dark clouds.
"Where are you going now?" Brutus looked at the sky, feeling that the dark clouds above his head seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.
"I don't know either."
Brutus turned his head and looked at Virlitt, seeing from her exhaustion that had never been seen in her before.
His thoughts circulated for a while and then suggested, "Let's go and find a government official first."
"I don't think they can be very reliable in this incident." Virlitt rejected Brutus' suggestion.
"But obviously the most unreliable thing here is me, a free citizen. And I personally think that if they need their assistance now, this measure is likely to be very necessary."
Virlitt stared at Brutus' eyes. After a long silence, she nodded slowly to agree to Brutus' suggestion.
Brutus returned to the town hall again, and the staff had already left all the way, leaving only the guards standing guard at the door to stand on their posts.
He looked at the two guards, just nodded and said nothing more. After all, no matter how many words he had, he seemed pale and powerless.
The two stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, and heavy footsteps echoed in the stairs and corridors.
Brutus tentatively knocked on the door of the government office, and what he unexpectedly pushed open the door a small piece as soon as he touched it.
"I'm waiting for you two." The government official Papiria was sitting behind the long table, holding his fists on the table.
Not far away sat a young man who looked in his twenties, wiping the knight's sword with exquisitely decorated hilts in his hand.
As if he noticed Brutus's exploring gaze, the young man stopped his movements and looked up at Brutus. A warm smile appeared on his face: "Introduce yourself, I am from the West."
Marquis Favalli, the inspector of Soco City, is happy to know you, Brutus.”
"Do you know me?" Brutus said curiously.
"I was here before. Well, I have learned about the matter you want to obtain citizenship from the Papiria government official. I personally have no objection. Maybe you will have a chance after this matter is over.
.”
Brutus looked at the government official Papiria in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would do so easily.
"Tell me, what orders are you two here to ask me to issue." The government official placed several blank documents on the table, holding a quill in his right hand, "It just so happened that the inspector was here, the procedure we were going to go through.
There are a lot less.”
To be honest, Brutus actually doesn't know what orders he needs to issue after coming here, after all, they are no different from headless flies now.
But after thinking about it, he seemed to have suddenly communicated something: "I need an execution order issued two hours ago, for the execution order of all the prisoners involved in this case."
The Papiriya government official wrote a few strokes on the paper, then stamped the government official's seal, followed by the inspector Favali stamping his own seal on the document.
"Although the procedures are illegal, I will let you go for the time being if the situation is urgent." Favalli put the document in the archive bag for filing.
"A warrant is also needed to search all the noble manors in the town." Brutus glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw that his condition was obviously wrong. Virlit, who had always remained silent, obviously he was the only one who could dominate all this this time.
"The order to urgently mobilize the civilians and recruit suitable citizens in Tatto town..." Brutus could be said to have passed all the orders he could think of and might need.
The government officials and the inspectors were like personal stamping machines, and they did not object, so they issued orders that violated the procedures according to Brutus' request.
Soon the documents and archive bags on Favalli's legs were filled with stuff.
"I don't think there are many people and equipment that you can't move." Favalli glanced at the file bag on his leg, lifted it up and threw it to Brutus, "The paper name you can think of is more than I've learned.
There are more.”
"Please both of you." Brutus held the file bag with both hands, and was still a little more important. He lifted the file bag, then took Virlit to go out, and then mobilized the civilians to prepare for defense.
Although he didn't know who to be on guard against.
"Brutus." The government official called Brutus, "Politics never works by a false name and a bunch of papers."
"But I think the name on my head is more or less useful." Brutus smiled, "Thank you very much for your help."
"And this is not politics, isn't it?" he restrained his smile and said seriously, "This is a war, a war between humans and non-humans, a war of life and death."
Although he didn't know why he was fighting, he had to struggle even to save his life, right?
"Now I may know why he was recognized by the Spear of Laxius." Favalli stood up and inserted the knight's sword back into the scabbard on his waist, and walked towards the office door, "A foreigner with a firm will and vigor.
It's better than a candid who is a little ambitious but always wasted on a broken town."
"It is normal for young people to be a little energetic." Papiriya government official straightened his back, "but just like those young soldiers, they could only rush to the front of the formation to consume the enemy's physical strength."
"Old guy, we can have a big competition in the future." Favalli choked back.
"I can't ask for it." The government official opened a cabinet door, revealing the heavy armor and spear inside, "but only if you can live well in the future."
"Don't worry, I must live longer than you." Favalli patted Brutus on the shoulder, "Work hard and give this old guy a slap him to have a better memory."
This shot also made Brutus swallow his complaints. He originally thought that the two of them were colleagues who lived in harmony, but in the end they looked more like mortal enemies who were not speculative.
