Chapter 717: "·Assassination"

The more knowledge a person has, the easier it is for him to acquire new knowledge.
Elfried Jelinek (Austrian female writer, recognized as one of the most important writers in Central Europe)
The hurried generals Aukin Lake, Paresi, Cunningham, etc., under the command of Montgomery, quickly controlled the two old and new armies that were in full swing; after that, Montgomery called Mountbatten and Luke together. In front of myself.
In the face of countless refugees and generals of the two armies, Montgomery, with a public official attitude, ordered to Mountbatten, who stood upright: "Mountbatten, tell me what you know about the cause and effect of this matter."
"promise!"
Mountbatten, who was in charge, sorted out his own thoughts and then reported the truth: "When I was on the city wall, I heard someone clamoring loudly in the base, so I came here with fifty guards, and then Learned that the refugees here are hiding food."
Speaking of which, Mountbatten paused and looked at the captain of the patrol veteran aside; there was Montgomery and the generals sitting in the town personally. The captain naturally dared not lie, and he immediately secretly reported someone to the Luke group to hide The matter of food was made public.
After receiving the supporting certificate from the patrol leader, Mountbatten continued what he had not said: "I asked the person in charge of this group to surrender their privately held food, but they refused them; in desperation, I ordered the soldiers Go forward and forcefully take away the grain."
"Luke, isn't it?" Montgomery didn't question Mountbatten's report. From Luke's reaction, he can also see that Mountbatten's words were not dominated by lies, but he still asked Luke symbolically: "Mountbatton Do you agree with what the general said?"
"Chief, General Mountbatten's words are true, but I disagree with his rhetoric." Luke, who insisted that he did nothing wrong, directly retorted: "If he didn't order, how would we be with you Fight with guards?"
"Fart!" Hearing Luke's words, Mountbatten hadn't refuted it, the captain of the patrol was furious: "General Mountbatten just ordered the food to be taken away, you guys have to stop us! Again, first We are the ones who died in battle!"
Referring to the first guard to be killed, Luke, who knew that he was wrong, did not show cowardice, but instead shifted the focus: "Are we supposed to let you beaten and beaten? You hurt us first People, we have risen to resist!"
Luke’s constant dispute with the patrol captain, coupled with Mombat’s occasional remarks, the silent Montgomery roughly sorted out the causes and consequences of the conflict; in the final analysis, it was the batch of grain-produced goods that appeared by coincidence.
Publicly speaking, there is no real value to the public-law argument, and it is impossible to recover the losses caused by the conflict. The sudden emergence of the grain made Montgomery smell a trace of conspiracy.
The blast base is the old nest of the blast thieves. At this time, it is a critical time for food shortage. How can there be so-called forgotten food in the base? More coincidentally, it was discovered that this batch of food happened to be the Luke group, and Luke's eldest son was the squadron leader of the new army.
A coincidence may really be a coincidence, but several seemingly uncommon coincidences are not purely accidental; thinking of this, Montgomery feels that the first person to discover this batch of food can never be separated!
Mountbatten and the captain of the patrol are the old men of the wind thieves. Only one sentence of Montgomery can make them shut their mouths peacefully; only Luke, who is full of righteous indignation, has to lower his posture. :
"Mr. Luke, who is right or wrong in this conflict has no meaning to pursue; we are wasting our time in this respect, it is better to think about why this conflict happened. Don’t you think that this batch of food appears Is it too ridiculous?"
"Strange?" Luke, who was not a stupid man, was cleared by Montgomery. Although he did not have any doubts about Lu Jie who saved his life, he had some doubts about Lu Jie's cousin. .
No matter what Luke thought, he still maintained his humanity on the surface: "Boss, the first person to find this batch of food is my brother Lu Jie's cousin; I believe my brother will not deceive me, you can call They came out and asked in person."
"Okay, then please trouble Mr. Luke to find Mr. Lu Jie and his cousin. I have some words to ask them." Feeling that I found the key Montgomery, instead of rejecting Luke's suggestion, he asked for it on the spot. See Luke.
The ghost of the battlefield under the pseudonym Lu Jie, who was watching indifferently in the crowd, saw that he would be taken to Montgomery by Luke, and he instinctively wanted to escape backwards; however, just two steps back, he was also secretly observing the situation. Enla lived.
Standing in a crowded crowd, Adrien whispered to Lu Jie with an almost inaudible voice: "This is a rare good opportunity. If the time is right, I will personally start with Montgomery, and you will take the opportunity to stir up their conflict."
After saying this, Adrien didn't wait for Lu Jie to reply, and stood in another position in a flash; then looked up again, and Luke, who was ashamed, had strode to Lu Jie.
"Brother, the Montgomery leader wants to know how this batch of food was discovered, so he has some questions to ask you and your cousin face to face; but you can rest assured that as long as the elder brother is still there, no one can bully you!"
Faced with Luke's promise, Lu Jie just smiled and took Adrien out of the crowd.
Looking at Lu Jie and Adrien brought by Luke, Montgomery knew that Lu Jie was one of the real power figures of the Luke group, but he felt that Adrien behind him made him more disturbed, and even caused him a kind of heart palpitations. a feeling of.
"Lu Jie, your cousin..."
"Boom!"
Montgomery barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and Adrien took the dagger out of the space ring and punctured the heart of Montgomery, who was unprotected; Montgomery was almost an instinctive one between the electric light and the flint. Fisted towards Adrien.
Adrien, who did not intend to die together, leaned slightly to the right and took Montgomery's fist with his left shoulder; at the same time, his dagger was also inserted into Montgomery's body, but the part was not the intended heart. , But offset shoulders.
"Enemies! Protect the leader!!"
When the blood on Montgomery's shoulder splashed on Mountbatten's face, Mountbatten, who was shocked by the scene before him, reacted; Mountbatten's binge awakened the same shocked guards and veterans nearby, and they quickly surrounded Adrien. .
Adrien, who failed to hit, did not hesitate, but jumped into the crowd not far away; Luke and Lujie, who remained in place, became the targets of angry guards and veterans. .
Montgomery, who had a shoulder injury, did not stop his personal attacks on Luke and Lujie, because he did not think that the two people in front of him had nothing to do with the assassination; this way, it triggered another round of conflict. .
In the dark night, Adrien’s assassination of Montgomery, except for the nearest people, could not be seen by the onlookers and new soldiers who were 50 meters away; what they could see was Mountbatten’s order again. The scene that besieged Luke!
