Suddenly, there was a burst of battle cries in the barracks. This was a pure mutiny because Lei Zhe did not have any military position. No matter how high his position was before, it was not a reason to interfere with the army. Making such a scene was no different from a rebellion.
All the officers knew that the situation wasn't good. Some hid in their barracks and didn't dare to come out. Some turned around and stood on Léger's side. As for the officers who liked to bully the soldiers and often insulted Conrad, they ran around the barracks, trying to find a way out. However, the scale of the mutiny was too big. Almost all the soldiers were involved. They couldn't escape at all. If they weren't killed by the soldiers, they were tied up by the soldiers.
Cavalry Commander Rudolf had more than two hundred personal guards. These personal guards were brought out from his home. They were his private soldiers, so they didn't fear death. However, Rudolf couldn't do that. He used to say that as a Legion Commander, his combat strength was the most insignificant. His decision-making ability was the key to success or failure.
It had to be admitted that Rudolf's words made sense. He also used this to attack Conrad because Conrad was a tenth-order powerhouse and Rudolf was only a sixth-order Knight. However, the situation was reversed. His words had to be reversed. In this chaotic situation, decision-making ability was the most insignificant. One's combat strength was the key to success or failure.
If Rudolf had the combat strength of a tenth-order powerhouse like Gerald, he could've rushed into the battle, killed Morrisons, captured Léger alive, and used all kinds of words to divide the mutiny. He could've controlled this mutiny. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He could only hide behind his personal guards. His decision-making ability wasn't very good either. He actually used military law to threaten the soldiers. What was the use of that? Not only was it useless, it even intensified the conflict, making every soldier want to kill him!
Soon, Rudolf's personal guards were all killed, leaving him alone. Léger wasn't in a hurry to kill Rudolf. Instead, he slowly approached Rudolf. Rudolf was scared out of his wits and wasn't as stubborn as before. He knelt on the ground and smiled. A soldier rushed forward and kicked Rudolf. However, Rudolf quickly got up and knelt on the ground again with a smile.
For a high-ranking commander, perhaps he would never have the chance to encounter a mutiny among the lower-ranking soldiers in his entire life. Rudolf did not know the severity of the situation at first, but when he saw his personal guards being killed one by one, he felt afraid. He hurriedly ordered his personal guards to put down their weapons in an attempt to resolve the conflict. This action was too stupid. In the end, his personal guards did put down their weapons, but the soldiers did not let them go.
Right now, Rudolf only wanted to live, and he was willing to pay any price for it. However, this was an extravagant hope that could never be realized. How could Léger let him go?!
Léger stood in front of Rudolf. His eyes were bloodshot, and his muscles were tense. He coldly stared at Rudolf. Rudolf knelt on the ground and gestured as if he was trying to justify his actions. Han Jin, Sunier, and the others were too far away to hear anything. However, they could see that Léger extended his hand, and a soldier hurriedly handed him his sword. In the next moment, Léger raised the sword high above his head.
In despair, Rudolf fell backwards and used his right hand to block his face. He was still trying his best to explain, but Léger did not want to listen. His sword left an afterimage in the air as it slashed down on Rudolf's neck.
Blood splattered everywhere as Rudolf's head flew high into the air. It fell to the ground and rolled a few times, leaving a long trail of blood behind.
The soldiers around Léger cheered. Rudolf's death was a symbol of their victory.
After taking revenge, Léger revealed a confused expression. From the moment he learned that his father's coffin had been dug up until now, he had been acting on his own initiative. He did not have any plans, and the revenge process was very easy. Now that Rudolf was dead, Léger suddenly did not know what he should do.
After the soldiers cheered, they all quietly looked at Léger. Léger did not know what to say. The scene became very quiet, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Han Jin and Sunier's expressions changed at the same time. The soldiers were willing to help Léger, and it was a big gamble. They were risking their lives for the descendants of the Legion of Conrad. At this time, even if Léger were to say something crazy like sweeping the continent, it would be better than being at a loss. Otherwise, the morale of the soldiers would be in chaos.
The soldiers have placed all their hopes on you. You should at least show them a clear path, right? If you don't know what to do, then who will trust you?
"Léger, have you forgotten about Lang Ning?" Sunier suddenly shouted, "He is now imprisoned in the Tenth Town. He will be executed at noon tomorrow!"
Léger's body trembled as he angrily shouted, "Is there anyone who wants to go with me to save General Lang Ning?"
"Go save the captain!"
"Let's go! Let's see who dares to stop us!"
The soldiers on the other side all shouted. Sunier's eyes revealed a deep smile. Lang Ning's reputation in the army was very good. His abilities and qualities were excellent. Otherwise, Conrad would not have recommended him to be his successor. If Léger and Lang Ning stood together and supported each other, they should be able to control the entire Riptide.
"What are you thinking? Why are you smiling so proudly? "Han Jin said leisurely.
"What am I thinking? I am thinking about our future! "Sunier replied.
At this time, Léger had already walked out of the barracks. The soldiers were still following behind him. Léger ordered the soldiers to stop and then strode towards the giant tortoise.
Léger jumped on the tortoise's back. Seeing that there were no soldiers around, he smiled bitterly and asked softly, "What should I do now?"
"Are you serious? You don't even know what to do? "Sunier was stunned.
Han Jin and Sassoux shifted their gazes. They did not expect Sunier to know how to act. In fact, from the beginning to the end, Léger had been pushed by the situation and deliberately pushed by the few of them. It would be strange if Léger knew what he should do.
"I … I really don't know."
"First of all, you need to know what will happen to the soldiers! After you leave, there will be other generals to control Riptide. This rebellion … As long as you leave, the nature of this incident will definitely be classified as a rebellion. The soldiers will be severely punished. It is impossible to kill all of them, but at least a few dozen will be executed. Otherwise, who will dare to control these soldiers? " Sunier said slowly, "Also, you need to bury your parents in a place where no one will know. They already hated the Knight of Conrad to the core. With something like this happening, how could they not take advantage of it? Actually … I doubt that you can guarantee the safety of the Knight of Conrad's remains. Perhaps before you return, the army will have razed Green Garden to the ground. "
Léger's expression kept changing. Suddenly, a murderous look appeared in his eyes. "What if I don't leave?"
"Then it will be much easier." Sunier was waiting for this sentence.
In fact, Léger's brain was not inferior to Sunier's. The problem was that he could not calm down. Sunier was right. If he wanted to protect these soldiers and his parents' remains, it was not enough to rely on tolerance and avoidance. He had to have his own forces!
"Much easier?"
"Yes. Think about it. You have the Beitman's most powerful army. Who would dare to provoke you?" Sunier narrowed her eyes. "Even if you don't do anything, the city lords will take the initiative to arrange everything properly. For example, the Knight of Conrad and his wife's grave. For example, Riptide's military supplies."
"What if they don't support me?"
"Do you see those soldiers? What do you think they are holding in their hands? "Sunier smiled." Straw? "
Léger was silent. Sunier smiled and added, "The Knight of Conrad had it so hard because he was too righteous. In this world, righteousness is …"
"I don't want to talk about my father," Léger interrupted Sunier. "I just want to know, what should I do now?"
"First, you should find the quartermaster or take control of all the military supplies in the barracks. In the battle just now, there were soldiers who died or were injured, right? Not only do the injured need to be compensated, all the soldiers who participated in the battle need to be rewarded. Although they are not siding with you for money, you cannot underestimate the effect of money. Money can make them more united around you. "
Léger was silent for a moment. Then, he nodded, indicating that he had accepted Sunier's suggestion. "Anything else?"
"If there is a first, then there is naturally a second." Sunier smiled. "You need to appoint and dismiss all the officers because you cannot rely on yourself to manage two cavalry regiments. What you need to do is to control those officers and have them control the soldiers."
"I also saw that the soldiers had captured a lot of captives. Hehe … this is a rebellion. What is the use of keeping captives? You can have the newly appointed officers personally kill those captives in front of everyone. By doing so, you will cut off their escape route. Even if the soldiers are scattered, they will not leave you. "
"We are not soldiers. We will definitely be ostracized by the soldiers of Riptide. That is why we cannot come forward to help you. Doing so could have a negative impact. In fact, there is no need for you to worry. Just do your best. You are Conrad's son. The soldiers trust you and rely on you. Even if you do something wrong, they will think that you are right. What are you worried about? "
"An army without goals and ideals is very dangerous. Your first goal is to rescue Lang Ning. As for the future … that is up to you and Langny to decide."
Sunier said a lot in one breath. Léger gave Sunier a deep look before turning around and jumping down from the turtle's back. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
