238 He’s Just a Chess Piece!

The burning sensation was like a small bug drilling into his bone marrow. Hector Sattler was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He curled up on the ground and roared.

A ninth-level marquis finally begging for mercy after being hit by tendon-splitting and bone-dislocating pain.

“Kill me! Kill me now!” he said hoarsely.

“Answer my question!” Sadie Dudley had an otherworldly indifference.

It was not that she wanted to hurt Hector. It was her young master who had been embroiled in this mess. Sadie had to investigate thoroughly.

Hector was being tortured to the limit.

He wanted to disperse his cultivation and end it himself.

Sadie raised her left hand slightly and slammed her palm down. An invisible force pressed her body onto the ground, making her unable to move. All the force in her body was scattered.

She did not even give him a chance to commit suicide.

As for Hector, there was no need to pity him.

If they pitied him, who would pity the 700,000 heroic men who were forced to die in Ludwig back then?

A total of 700,000 elites, without any clothes or armor, were fighting against the millions of enemies from the three countries who had crossed the border in the Ludwig mountain range with their hot-blooded hearts and the will to die.

None of them surrendered, all of them were to die!

How tragic.

The northern army was the successor of the Ludwig army, and Braydon Neal had never given up on investigating this matter.

Sadie knew that this worried her little brother the most. Tonight, she had to pry open Hector’s mouth and find out who the enemy in the dark was.

Back then, these people dared to kill the Ludwig army and erase all their contributions, giving them the name of a rebel army.

The current northern army was even more terrifying than the Ludwig army back then.

Who could guarantee that the people in the dark would not deal with the northern army in this era, just like how they dealt with the Ludwig army in the past!

No one could guarantee that!

Therefore, King Braydon had already started planning when he was young.

The five main teams and five commanders in the country were all replaced by people from the north.

Spirit Sword Gordon Lowe and the other four commanders were all loyal to the Northern King.

There were also the three garrison governors of the capital, who only had the northern army in their hearts.

The purpose was to prevent the northern army from following in the footsteps of the Ludwig army.

He would not let off any of the people who had killed the Ludwig army.

Hector’s bones were indeed very tough.

After enduring for a full hour, his hoarse roar lingered on the summit of Mount Bliz.

He had provoked the top ten ruthless men of the north to gather at the foot of Mount Bliz.

They did not dare to go up the mountain!

Only the commander could go up to Mount Bliz.

In the end, in the middle of the night, screams came from Mount Bliz, making people shudder. They had no idea what was happening above.

The shrill screams stopped abruptly at three o’clock in the morning.

Hector finally relented!

He was like a dead dog on the ground, panting heavily. The corners of his eyes were cracked, his eyes were red, his lips were dry, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. He said hoarsely, “Water!”

Sadie’s fingers moved slightly, and the cup in the wooden house was sucked over by an invisible force and placed in front of Hector.

His Adam’s apple moved, and he raised his left arm, which was sore and numb, and drank his fill.

Sadie gently brushed her beautiful earlobe, revealing her sparkling little earlobe. She held an ancient book in her left hand and was reading quietly under the moonlight. She patiently waited for Hector to speak.

As long as Hector did not speak, he would not have a day of peace.

After a moment of silence.

Sadie’s cherry lips moved slightly. “Tell me, those ten little brats from the north are at the foot of the mountain. If I hand you over to them, you will end up ten times worse than if you were here with me!”

Hector naturally believed this.

None of the ten bad eggs in the north were good.

They must have been attracted by the screams, but they did not dare to charge up Mount Bliz.

If Sadie handed him over, his ending would be even more miserable than it would be here.

Because the interrogation methods of the north were even more terrifying.

If they did not get what they wanted, they would break his bones inch by inch and then use spiritual herbs to help prolong his life. They would torture him day and night.

Hector’s secret was clearly enough to qualify for this treatment.

“That year,” he said hoarsely, “I was transferred to the Jefferson Division. On the first day, I received a secret order to go to Ludwig to change the guards and seize all the swords of the Ludwig army.”

“Whose secret order?” Sadie asked.

Hector slowly shook his head. “The eight offices of the Jefferson Division all carry out secret orders. It included warning the Ludwig army to not move. If they were to use weapons without authorization, they would be labeled as rebels. I was only the messenger.”

After a short reply, the scene was silent.

Obviously, these answers did not provide any useful clues.

Hector was just a pawn. This was the conclusion that many people had guessed.

Sadie chuckled. “You’ve been in the Jefferson Division for forty years. You should know that the Hader lineage was destroyed on the same night as the Ludwig army. The Ludwig King was Xandros Hader. There should be a connection between the two!”

“There is a connection. The two were destroyed on the same night. When I led the capital garrison to take away all the equipment of the Ludwig army, a war broke out in the Ludwig Mountain Range that night. Someone had colluded with the millions of enemies outside the border, and the enemies crossed the border to fight against the Ludwig army.”

As Hector spoke, he closed his eyes. He was already filled with regret.

This was the thing he regretted the most in his life!

If he had known that the Ludwig army would end up like this, even if he died, he would not have led the capital garrison to take away all the equipment of the Ludwig army, causing 700,000 heroic men to die tragically in the Ludwig mountain range, in the hands of foreign enemies.

This was treason!

He, Hector Sattler, had grown up in the capital. He knew that he was not a good person. He dared to do anything in his life, but he did not dare to betray the country!

However, the Ludwig incident was treason!

Hector really did not know that things would develop to this stage.

He was also someone else’s chess piece.

An abandoned piece!

Sadie frowned slightly. She had long guessed that the Ludwig matter had many implications.

From the looks of it, there were probably many people involved.

Back then, the Hader family was exterminated in the capital. Who was the one who did it?

Was it one person or a group of people?

The situation was unknown!

Was it a single force, or a group of forces?

There was still no answer.

This was only a problem that arose after the Hader family was exterminated.

The most important thing was the Ludwig army. Back then, the people who targeted Xandros Hader had used brilliant and ruthless methods.

Through the Jefferson Division, the governor office and other organizations mobilized people who were unrelated to each other to carry out a mission. In the end, they used the national decree to pressure and warn the Ludwig subordinates that they would be considered rebels if they used weapons!

This was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and the Ludwig troops did not dare to act rashly.

The sinister part was that the person who was secretly targeting them actually colluded with the enemies outside the country.

If they did not collude with the enemies, why would the armies of the foreign countries suddenly attack the borders and attack the Ludwig army that night?

In that battle, 700,000 men from Ludwig died in battle. All 36 islands of Ludwig were lost.

Ludwig had been wronged for forty years!

Sadie did not kill Hector because she had sensed that the Ludwig matter was too complicated.

Hector might be useful in the future.
