Chapter 953: The Kingdom of Shuper

Te'ao realized what these two people were going to do to him and quickly begged:

"Please wait! I just couldn't sleep at night and just came here for a walk! Why do you want to kill me?!"

"Because you saw our fleet." The man said in a calm tone while untying the hemp rope that tied Te'ao to the tree trunk. "This fleet is related to our country's national destiny and cannot be discovered by anyone. It's because We didn’t want anyone to discover this fleet, so we moved the fleet late at night.”

--fleet?

——Those big ships? !

"I won't tell anyone!" Theo continued to plead, "I won't tell anyone what I saw tonight! Please believe me! I swear!"

"... I'm sorry." The soldier was silent for a while, "Please forgive me. This is my duty. My mission is to prevent anyone from approaching the river bank and discovering our fleet."

"Anyone who discovers our fleet, whether civilian or not, will be killed without mercy."

"Just consider your sacrifice as a contribution to our country."

Having said this, the soldier just untied the hemp rope that tied Theo to the tree trunk.

After the hemp rope on his body was untied, Theo subconsciously wanted to escape from here.

However - as an ordinary farmer, how could he move faster than a well-trained soldier?

Before Theo could even take two steps, he was grabbed by the soldier and then dragged to the river not far away.

"Please spare me!" Te'ao begged for mercy with tears in his eyes. "I have two young children and an elderly mother! They all rely on me to support them! If I'm not here, they will starve to death. Yes! Please let me go! I swear I won’t tell anyone what I saw tonight!”

"……Feel sorry."

The soldier, who said he was sorry, still did not hesitate at all, dragging Theo towards the river like a pig.

Seeing that his begging for mercy failed, Teo began to cry for help frantically, driven by the desire to survive, shouting "Help" one after another.

However - who would be by the river at this time?

People who are staying by the river now,

They are all accomplices of this soldier.

After pulling Theo to the river, the soldier pushed Theo's head into the cold river water.

Large volumes of river water blocked Te'ao's mouth, nose, and trachea.

Theo struggled wildly out of instinct, and the soldier could barely hold him down.

After about a minute, Theo gradually stopped moving, and his hands fell softly to the ground.

After Theo didn't move, the soldier pulled Theo up from the river, felt the pulse on his neck, and confirmed that Theo was indeed dead. Then the soldier placed Theo's body by the river. .

After the soldier put down Theo's body, the officer who just now walked quickly to the soldier's side.

"How? Are you dead?"

"Um."

"Throw his body into the river. That way, others will think he fell into the water and drowned instead of being killed."

"yes."

"Cheer up!" the officer shouted. "As long as you patrol carefully and stop this poor man before he gets close to the river bank, he might not have to die!"

"yes……"

"Your punishment will be handed down to you after you return to the military camp. Dispose of this man's body quickly and continue patrolling. Don't make any mistakes this time. I don't want to do such a cruel thing to my compatriots. You shouldn’t want to do such a cruel thing to your compatriots, right?”

"Yes……"

"If that's the case, then cheer me up! If I find out that any unrelated person passes through the area you are responsible for and reaches the river bank again, just wait to be whipped!"

"yes……"

…

295 AD of the Britannia Empire.

February 10th.

Kingdom of Schuper, eastern border, city of Bruges.

Bruges is a city located on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Schupper, and is the border city closest to the Frankish Empire.

Although the Kingdom of Shuper is an "absolutely neutral country" and has never launched a war with foreign countries since its founding, and the Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire sandwiched between it have never launched an invasion, but as a country, it should We still need to have some national defense.

In order to guard against the Frankish Empire, nearly one-third of the military strength of the Kingdom of Schupel was gathered in the city of Bruges on the eastern border.

Although the name "gathers nearly one-third of the country's military strength" is very scary, there are only 6,000 soldiers in the Shuper Kingdom.

In other words, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in Bruges.

It was early in the morning, and outside the city of Bruges, many light cavalry were patrolling the border.

It's still February and it's still early in the morning, so the temperature is quite low.

The light cavalry patrolling the border were breathing heat into their hands while monitoring the movements on the border.

"It's so cold..." one of the soldiers said to his comrades beside him, "I really hope the weather will warm up soon..."

"Huh...yeah, it's really cold...eh? Hey, there's something going on!"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the entire patrol team quickly cheered up and looked in the direction pointed by the soldier's finger.

On the other side of the border, a large group of people were secretly looking at the border of their Kingdom of Shupel.

Since these people appeared on the other side of the border, their identities were self-evident.

These sneaky Franks were almost crossing their border.

"This is the territory of the Kingdom of Shupel!" The commander of the patrol team of the Kingdom of Shupel led his men to ride over, shouting in Frankish, "Leave quickly!"

After seeing the arrival of the border patrol team of the Kingdom of Shupel, these sneaky Franks quickly withdrew from the border of the Kingdom of Shupel and left the place quickly.

After confirming that these Franks had completely left their sight, the soldiers of this patrol team began to whisper.

"The Franks again..."

"What are they doing here?"

"Is it my illusion? I always feel that there are more and more Franks appearing on the border recently."

"Are they gathering intelligence?"

"Don't be silly. Even if the Franks want to gather intelligence, they should go to the Britannia Empire. Why do they want to gather intelligence from our Kingdom of Shupel?"

"Well... do you want to attack us?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of country is our motherland? Don't you know? Our Kingdom of Shupel is a 'mini country' with only 12 cities. We have no people and no resources. What reason does a big country like the Frank Empire have to send troops to attack us?"
