Chapter 57 Conscience(1/3)

Author: Crowtopia

Greg sat in the carriage and looked at the bleak scene in the city.

There were fires everywhere, and soldiers kept pouring water.

When the cuckoo knights discovered that Greg had returned to defense, they immediately dispersed, leaving only a mess.

"Despicable cuckoo!" Greg clenched his fist angrily and smashed it down, and a dozen hands of different sizes made tinkling music.

Cuckoo is the only force released by the Magic Academy in the Shattered War.

And this force is not as elegant and noble as the royal knights of Carlia. Their performance in the Shattered War can only be described in one word: bandits.

The academy was closed, and these soldiers were left without high-level restraints and showed their willful side.

They took advantage of the war to carry out banditry and robberies in various places, extorted money and extorted money in the name of war, and disguised themselves as bandits to massacre villages and cities.

These soldiers even betrayed their allies and attacked the castle of the Calian royal family, completely tearing apart the seemingly friendly relationship between the royal family and the academy.

They are a group of jackals who go to any place of benefit to show their strength.

Greg didn't expect Dujuan to target Stonewell City.

"They attacked the Kalija stronghold, and their defeat was not brutal enough, and the lesson was not profound enough?" Greg was so cruel that his teeth itched.

The generals looked sideways.

But didn’t they really capture it? Who should be blamed?

A large amount of supplies in the city were robbed, and even those that were not robbed were burned to the ground.

The only thing that can be said to be lucky is that Greg moved almost all of his treasures onto the carriage and was not plundered by cuckoos.

After the Shattered War, the demigod forces all huddled in their own territories and lived in peace. It had been too long since there had been any conflict, and Greg did not expect the cuckoo to attack.

It was still on the day when I set off for the war.

"There must be a traitor!" Greg jumped, "Otherwise, how could he attack just at the time of the expedition?"

In fact, Greg made a lot of noise in order to go on the expedition. A large number of soldiers gathered in one place, and the logistical supplies required were quite large.

There is absolutely no need for Dujuan to obtain Greg's whereabouts through a mole.

If the cuckoos really only want to plunder, there is no need to wait until they have just set out on the expedition. They can wait for Grek to go out for a while before plundering as much as they want. At that time, it will be more difficult to return to defense.

But the generals did not dare to say anything.

On the one hand, no one wants to get into trouble with Greg, and on the other hand, it's not surprising that Greg is unpopular.

There are a few moles among the people present.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Greg became even more irritable:

"We must catch this mole!"

Greg also has his own little thoughts.

As long as the blame is dumped on the "ghost", his stupid decision-making mistakes will not be remembered.

Everything is the mole's fault, not the Golden King's problem.

Just as he was told, Greg immediately began to "clear the emperor's side" in full swing, letting people around him report on each other.

As soon as Greg did this, people in the city were immediately panicked.

But the most panicked one was Getok.

What others don't know is that Getok is a real mole, and he has developed a large number of downlines selling dung beetles and dew drops in the city, which greatly increases the possibility of him being exposed.

He never expected that Greg would start purging the city of spies in this way, and Gotok didn't want to be discovered for such an inexplicable reason.

Getok used his brain and began to think about how to make himself safe.

There are too many moles in the city, and it is too difficult to hide oneself quietly. The best way is to divert Greg's attention.

And be sure to divert Greg's attention before Greg notices him.

Otherwise, this cruel monarch will execute those he considers "conspirators" even for the sake of face.

Getok dug out a few dung beetle dew drops from the warehouse, pried open the outer tree root packaging, and sprinkled the golden tree essence, which was full of blessing and healing effects, on a burnt body.

With the pouring of dew drops, life glowed on the charred body again, the originally dead tissues began to fall off, and new skin and bones grew again.

The man's chest began to rise and fall, and he regained his breath.

This is one of Gorek's knights. During the turmoil during Du Juan's siege, he tried to get to Greik's side to protect his monarch, but was ignited by Greik's dragon flames and was on the verge of death while screaming in pain.

Influenced by the spirit of chivalry, there are always subordinates who are loyal to their master, but it is a pity that Greg does not know how to cherish them.

The necrotic nerves recovered again, and the itching and pain awakened the knight, causing him to struggle.

Getok took a few steps back, waiting for him to regain his composure.

After a whole day, the knights in the hut became quiet.

When Getok came in with a plate of gruel, the knight was sitting on the bed, looking at him calmly.

"You saved me? Thank you." the knight said.

Getok handed the porridge to the knight and sat aside:

"You are very loyal, but you are not very smart. After all, Greg is a demigod, and he does not need you to save him."

Gotok reminded the knight of the reason for his burns and observed the knight's expression.

He wanted to see if the knight's current mood was resentment or anger.

No, the knight just said sadly:

"You are right. I was reckless and was accidentally injured by Lord Greg. He also wasted a lot of medicine to treat me."

Still calling Greg "sir"...

Getok weighed it in his mind.

The knight remained loyal to Gryk even though he was burned to death by Gryk's dragon fire.

However, this does not affect Getok's plan.

Rather, the more foolish and loyal a person is, the more suitable he is to help divert Greg's attention.

Getok said: "You are very loyal. A loyal person should not die in vain. With you here, Lord Grek can feel more at ease."

"Thank you." The knight took a sip of the hot porridge.

Getok said: "But now the Lord is very uneasy, he is suspicious."

"What's going on?" The knight didn't know about the commotion in the city.

Getok began to guide the knight calmly:

"Lord Greg said that there was a mole in the city, otherwise Dujuan would not have happened to rob during the expedition, so he put the expedition on hold for the time being and prepared to find the mole first."

Getok looked very distressed:

"Master Greg is very scared now, and the people in the city are also very scared. I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later."

The knight nodded and continued to drink porridge.

"Aren't you worried?" Gotok wondered, "Even a loyal knight like you will be executed by Lord Grek without hesitation."

The knight said calmly:

"That's Lord Greg's decision, I can only accept it."

The knight spoke calmly, with a look of death in his tone, leaving Gotok speechless for a long time.

Although foolish and loyal people are easy to fool, being too stupid can be a bit more difficult.

"It's you, why are you so worried?" the knight said, "Are you a mole?"

Gotok looked at this knight he thought was stupid in astonishment.

The knight continued: "And you didn't call Greg my lord at the beginning. You are not loyal."

The knight looked at Gotok with cold eyes.

Gotok swallowed, as if he was being stared at by a beast, his head exploded, and he only thought about running away or fighting.

Getok turned his fear into anger and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" the knight asked suspiciously.

Getok sneered: "Of course I'm worried, I'm from the logistics department. Do you know what will happen if you park a large army in the city to investigate the mole?"

Getok waved his hand: "We will lose this war!"

The knight was suppressed by Gotok's sudden burst of momentum, and was shocked by Gotok's shocking remarks.

Getok said:

"The lords from all over the country are stationed in the city with their soldiers, but the food and grass resources are still consumed. If Dujuan is really let in by an insider, then Dujuan should wait until the large army has gone far before plundering. You can't even return to the defense city.

It can't be done. Have you ever thought about why the cuckoo chose this time to invade?"
