"Remission of... crimes?" Gruto was stunned suddenly, as if he didn't understand the meaning.
"Her Majesty said that if you go back now, your family members will be exonerated, but you will still be sentenced to 20 years of hard labor. Unless you can bring the heads of officers back, each head can reduce crimes, the bigger the Officer, the more reductions you get," Joel said immediately.
"..." Gruto suddenly reacted. That's right, this is not something they can finish when they go back. This is a serious crime of rebellion. According to the laws of the empire, the rebels belonged to the Yi tribe. If you say that if I stop committing such a serious crime, it will be fine? Just pretend it never happened?
Although they were completely kept in the dark and were simply deceived, the question is who will listen to your explanations and who will believe you.
Although Gruto was very wronged, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with this decree. I even felt that Her Majesty the Queen was a little generous and gave them a chance to make up for it.
"Bring his head back, how many years can it last?" A soldier next to him asked at this time. Obviously, the soldiers here also understood the meaning, but no one had a big reaction. They were all involved in the rebellion. It is not bad to be able to survive. Their current demands have been lowered without limit. just live.
"I don't know about this..." Joel said, indeed, the details in this regard were not mentioned in the official document.
Gruto turned his mind very quickly. At this time, the soldiers around had already begun to discuss in low voices. Obviously, what they were discussing was not about other things, but whose head was on the ground.
Everyone is facing punishment, and this one on the ground is a token for reducing punishment. Who doesn't want it. Gruto is now a little worried about whether he will fight himself.
His second thought was that he could not do hard labor. Although this hard labor is a living crime, it is not easy to survive. Even if he was in good health, he didn't think he would be able to survive, let alone twenty years. After these 20 years of work, it will be exhausted by then.
I still have a wife and children, and my family members are waiting for me. Twenty years of hard labor are not the only ones that suffer. How long will it take for him to be the only labor force in the family.
Thoughts flowed, he quickly calmed down. Looking at the official document in the hands of the mercenary over there, he also directly stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see His Majesty's official document."
"Here." The mercenary here handed it over immediately.
Gruto was literate and quickly looked at the content of the official document. After reading it, he suddenly felt the coolness after these words.
Yes, Gruto felt it. These three strategies are simply scheming. They are not only alienation, but also blatant alienation, because even if you know it is alienation, you can't deal with it.
Looking at this kind of strategy at the grand strategic level, Gruto felt like a grain of sand being slapped around by the sea. What can I do now? This family has completely arranged for you.
At this moment, Gruto suddenly saw the outcome of this war, which was not a pattern at all.
"Everyone be quiet!" Gruto said suddenly at this moment. The surrounding soldiers were discussing more and more loudly at this time. Everyone just heard that they will be convicted when they go back. Who can accept this? They are all discussing and complaining about what to do. But hearing Gruto's voice, everyone suddenly fell silent.
"We won't go back now." Gruto said suddenly, "This is a serious crime of rebellion, and obviously it cannot be easily forgiven. We still have to do hard labor when we go back. Don't you think so?"
"Gruto!" Joel over here became anxious when he heard this, are you going back now? What do you want to do if you don't go back? Stay and rebel? Can he be in a hurry?
"Don't worry." Gruto also knew Joel's reaction, and said directly, "Guys, I mean, we will find a way to make meritorious service, and we will go back after making meritorious service. What do you think?"
Gruto now knows that side will win, and it is obviously impossible to stay and rebel. But at this moment, he really had a big plan brewing in his heart. Although I am just a piece of sand, it is obviously impossible to go against the current, but if I ride the waves, I can go a long distance.
Hearing what Gruto said, Joel was relieved. He simply felt that the rebellion was impossible to succeed. His vision was not as far as Gruto's, and he couldn't imagine what Gruto was thinking now.
"Making meritorious service?" The surrounding soldiers were naturally moved when they heard this. Yes, no one wanted to do hard labor, but they were in a mess and didn't know what to do. What kind of solution looks like, everyone naturally wants to hear what he has to say.
"Let's go back to the barracks!" Gruto said firmly at this time, "It's also said above that if you bring the officer's head back, you can reduce the criminal law. These GOU guys rebelled and dragged us into the water. Now something happened. We will pay off their heads with their heads."
"Go back to the barracks..." All the soldiers looked at each other, and now they all knew that there was a rebel camp over there, so they went back?
"Everyone, everyone is kept in the dark. I think it's not just our team. Most of the soldiers are probably the same as us. They don't know what's going on." Gruto said, "This gang It is estimated that GOU Day is deliberately concealing this matter from us, but is this matter really concealed? You see that there are so many people looking for people here, and it is estimated that many people will know the situation in the future."
"And what we have to do is to contact and prepare in advance." Gruto continued, "When we go back, we will pretend not to know about it, and then we will contact people from other teams in private. I don't know how many people really rebelled. But it shouldn’t be too many, it is estimated that those officers are involved, our enemy is not other soldiers, but these officers.”
"Let's go back now, kill all those guys, and bring their heads back, and we will naturally be able to atone for the crime. Otherwise, if we go back now, there will be twenty years of hard labor waiting for us." Gruto said.
"But... there are less than 20 days left, just in case..."
"Done! I believe in Brother Gruto!" The soldiers next to him were about to say something when several soldiers who were originally Gruto's younger brothers shouted directly.
"I also think it's worth trying." The other team leader next to him also nodded.
"Everyone, follow me if you believe me." Gruto said directly, raising his hand. Although this is what is said now, Gruto also knows that this matter is not that simple.
There are too many monks, even if his plan is successful, there are only so many officers in total, and the number of heads is not enough. But Gruto's plan is not that simple, it's just that he hasn't talked about the follow-up yet.
