[Angie] Double Wings

Chapter 058 ◇A promise as firm as a stone

◇

Under Oscar's exquisite battle formation, Jules's somewhat lengthy but infectious speech, and the superior military strength and firepower of Wang Li's dispatched army, the patron saint of light representing the Holy Land.Jules, together with Donald, who represented the Supreme Council of the Six Rainbow Stars, accepted the strange request from the commander of the White Wing Legion to surrender.

The commander of the White Wing Legion is only five feet three inches tall. Standing in front of the six-foot-two Jules, he is not only a head shorter, but his body is about three Jules wide, with full cheeks. He had a big black beard, and his black hair, which was only one inch long, was so stiff that it stood straight on end.

Looks almost like the exact opposite version of Jules.

He spat roughly, "Your hair is really made of gold...is it soft?"

"It's soft." Jules said and squatted down slightly, letting Emo stretch out his short and thick arms to feel it.The dirty sleeve rubbed against Jules' shoulder, leaving an indescribable blackness.

"...Then... that's it. My men and horses have all been gathered here, and their lives are at your disposal. You promised me that you would not kill them all... But, now I have..." Yimo laughed at himself in a low voice, "I don't know if I will have a chance to tell others before I die... the hair of the Patron Saint of Light is soft, not made of gold."

"……how come?"

"How could it be?"

"...What did I kill you for?"

Yimo didn't answer, but glanced at him suspiciously, and then handed Jules a crumpled affidavit.

Jules took it with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand in front of Emo at the same time.This etiquette was quite unfamiliar to Yimo, the general who was over fifty years old was stunned for a while before he realized it, and shook hands with this young man who looked only half his age in a bit of embarrassment.Of these two right hands, the soft and delicate one is as white as milk, while the calloused one is like chocolate.

This place has been in flames of war for some time, but the White Wing Legion entrenched here is very restrained, there has never been a lethal vicious attack, and the casualties are not serious...

Jules looked at this simple-looking general and smiled gently, "The Patron Saint of Light is not a god of death, and he has no interest in killing people. In fact, I have never captured a single item in the 21 years I have been the Patron Saint. survivable lives." He reiterated his position, "Neither you nor your subordinates will die from this... You don't understand the nature of this war, Emo."

"Yes, is it?"

He smiled and invited, "Come with me to see your troops."

Donald who accepted the surrender with Jules.Litton also came over to shake hands with Yi Mo, "Then, first send soldiers to disarm them, and then ask General Yi Mo to help us pick out the mid-level and high-ranking officers and send them to Shengen City for trial." Donald's face The smile on his face was gentle and harmless, "The other surrendered soldiers will be divided into several groups and sent to the prisoner-of-war camp..."

"The traffic is interrupted and the communication is poor. It takes a lot of manpower to escort them to Shengen City... Is the Supreme Council court in a hurry to try them?"

"what……"

"It seems that there is no need to rush to do this." Jules casually dismissed Donald's proposal, and reached out to take a large stack of detailed rosters handed to him by Emmer's adjutant.

His tone was not cold, but he obviously didn't intend for anyone to refute the decision of the Patron Saint of Light.

"However... Master Jules, at least let his troops lay down their weapons."

"I just ordered them to unload the bullets," Immer was very unhappy, "my men will not attack."

"That's it..." Jules handed the stack of rosters to Canmore, made a gesture, and turned around, "I'll ask them to put down their weapons." The moment he turned around, unexpectedly Suddenly, he noticed that Donald's gaze was fixed on his face as if some strong glue had been applied, without even blinking.

"……What's wrong?"

Donald immediately nodded and laughed, "It's nothing." His eyes were full of sincerity and kindness, and he bowed and stepped back a few steps so that Jules could step onto the temporary command platform in the square.

"As I just stood here and promised you all, the Royal Dispatched Army of the Holy Land and the Self-Defense Force of the Supreme Council have fully accepted General Imer's request to surrender, and he will stay by my side for a few days, but it is not For prisoners . . . this is an invitation."

Jules had actually given a speech, and he was tired and not in good spirits.Originally, he just wanted to deal with it, but what Clewis had mentioned to him earlier made him care, and he couldn't help asking.

"You who took up arms in this turmoil, all of you left your hometown and rushed to various battlefields, right?" After Jules asked aloud, the troops who silently waited for others to decide their fate were almost [-]% Nodding silently.

Cleves was right.Jules sighed silently, he still did not forgive their methods, and still felt that their betrayal of Her Majesty the Queen was a serious crime and they deserved it.But what he saw on their faces, the nostalgia that Jules could never really feel, still aroused his sympathy, "It's so far away from home, it's time to go home."

More than 1 astonished faces were raised in front of him, all staring at him fiercely.

With his bright and sharp eyes, Jules greeted all the gazes staring at him frankly, "As I said, the Holy Land does not have any ambitions to rule over the Six Rainbow Stars, no matter what you do to Her Majesty the Queen No matter what kind of doubts you have, His Majesty's love will take care of every inch of this planet as usual. And for Princess Omelia, whom you support, the Holy Land will not rashly deny the meaning of her existence, but all of this Still need to verify."

There was silence in the square.

"As for this cruel war that is completely unacceptable... it was started by ambitious people with ulterior motives using your enthusiasm. Even if you want to overthrow the current Supreme Council, you must use peaceful and regular methods. I, Jules, will never sit idly by cruel means, please remember well."

Jules took a deep breath, restraining his cold and stern tone.

"Because of this unnecessary war... your hometown is suffering from the flames of war. I hope you can return to your hometown, assist the self-defense forces stationed at the Supreme Council, and protect your homeland together. Minimize the damage caused by this war. The Self-Defense Forces have always protected this planet, please trust your compatriots as always.”

Whispering voices buzzed in the square.

To disband them, and to return them to their hometowns to help the enemy... The eyes of the more than 2 people present were all wide open, as if they could not understand what they heard.

"The duty of the farmer is the land, the duty of the merchant is the guests he serves, the duty of the craftsman is his work...no one's duty is to take another's life, unless that person is an executioner. To your parents, siblings, Wife and children, elders and close friends in your hometown, your responsibilities are waiting for you in your hometown..." Zhu Lies paused, raised his hand, and pointed to the wreckage of the bombed stone bridge in the distance, " While you are blowing up roads, the roads of your hometown are being bombed by others; while you are setting fire to houses and destroying irrigation ditches, your hometown is suffering at the same time."

He thought again of Elliott's miserable body, and the endless reports of casualties after the embankment exploded.

"That's the truth about this war."

Jules covered his grief with a steady tone, "So, I must beg you here to give up such vicious actions of destroying other people's hometowns, and go back to your hometowns as soon as possible, that is what really needs you place."

Jules stopped talking and waited quietly for a while, but no one raised any objections.There was a sad melancholy in the square, as he had felt that day at the orphanage, listening to the soldiers beside Clavis.

Many people bowed their heads and wiped their tears, but more people saluted him.In the end, almost the entire square bowed down.

Jules is not very good at listening, and he can't really understand what Clewis said in his heart, but Jules has been used to being the leader of the crowd since he was five years old, and he has long been used to carrying other people's affairs on his shoulders. Take it as your own responsibility.

At this moment, Jules bowed gracefully to return the salute, and the sun shone on his shining golden hair, which was unimaginably bright.But the demeanor he exudes, which has nothing to do with the light, reveals a feeling, as if all this is what he should do, and people can rest assured to hand over the responsibility to him, because this man will not shirk , Will not evade, will stand up and take responsibility, and always do the best.

"Then... those who are injured or sick and need to be taken care of, please stay where they are," Julius paused, seeing the swan troop led by Lumière on the left get up quietly and proceed Prepare, "Those who need it can go to the back to eat to supplement your physical strength; if you don't need it immediately, you can also take some dry food for consumption on the road, which is prepared for you by Deputy Speaker Ellen, the Supreme Council of your planet. Yes." The white dove troops of Wang Li's dispatched army have almost prepared the meals, "Healthy people, please help the weak companions around you, and leave enough weapons for self-defense with you. Other non-dangerous things, just Please leave the gunpowder and other things to the Self-Defense Forces properly."

There was already the sound of weapons falling to the ground in the square.

Jules smiled softly, "Others, after receiving the oath and signing it, let's disband. This oath of yours is not for me... This oath that you declare that you will not harm others is The understanding given to you by Her Majesty the Queen is also the trust given to you by the Royal Dispatched Army and the Self-Defense Forces. Please take it away yourself and bring it with you as a proof that you have not shed blood to resist. Do not go in groups, try to avoid returning In the combat area. Where traffic is available, the Self-Defense Forces will continue to provide long-distance vehicles for you to take back to your hometown. There will also be medical and food assistance on the road. The Self-Defense Forces will protect your safety. I am the patron saint of light. On behalf of His Majesty, Jules wishes everyone a safe return home."

He finished his lengthy speech and looked back at Emo.

"What do you want to say to them?"

The short and fat general wiped away his tears and jumped forward.

"You guys! Whoever joins the army on the way," Imo yelled at the soldiers, "I'll break his leg!" After he yelled, he suddenly realized how rough he was, and nodded at Jules embarrassingly. Nodded, backed away again.

"Then... wanderers, let's go home now."

After more than 1 people moved, the scene in the square became quite chaotic.But near the commander's platform where Jules was, gradually, there were fewer people.A few officers with lowered hat brims squeezed over and asked sharply, "Where is the responsibility for the war?"

Jules nodded, and spoke to the speaker equipment that had not been turned off, and made a promise to the thousands of people present.

"I pledge on the honor of my Guardian of the Light, Saint Jules, that I will do my best to urge what the Supreme Council has promised to avoid accountability for blind followers who are simply exploited, and to prevent anyone from being secretly arrested or Trial in secret, bring everything to public discussion; but at the same time, I swear here that I will find out the ambitious person who started the war for his own selfishness, and make him pay for it all."

Jules didn't look back, but Donald who was standing behind him.Litton took a big step back, as if illuminated by his brilliance, there was nowhere to hide.

"No matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to escape the responsibility of starting the war." Jules said, "I promise."
