Chapter 1561: You Are My Brother

At this moment, on the other side of America.

In the camp at No. 1 Position.

Captain Qiaozhi was looking at the map, checking the current battle results; for the past few days, due to his sensitive status, Captain Qiaozhi had not gone outside.

As for what news had occurred outside, he was completely unaware.

He looked at the map, where the location marked as No. 2 Position was now labeled as destroyed.

From this, it could be seen that after experiencing their wave of fighting, No. 2 Position had already been destroyed.

Although he had been captured in that battle, it now appeared that the French had not gained any advantage either.

At least for now, it seemed the French had also suffered heavy losses.

However, Captain Qiaozhi sighed with emotion; it was a pity that the six hundred Longyan Revolvers he had purchased from Longyan were all lost.

If utilized by the French, these six hundred revolvers would definitely be a lethal weapon extremely disadvantageous to them.

Captain Qiaozhi sighed; fortunately, the bullets for the Longyan Revolver were specially made, and the French might not necessarily possess them.

Just at this moment, outside the camp, a group of soldiers quietly watched Captain Gelin, waiting for his further instructions.

Having received intelligence, they knew Captain Qiaozhi was inside the tent.

Now, they only needed a single order from Captain Gelin to complete their mission and arrest Captain Qiaozhi for Treason.

His expression froze slightly.

He was incomparably hesitant in his heart, wondering why he had brought his good friend back to Britain.

If he hadn't come back, it wouldn't have come to this.

"Captain, it is time to act; do not forget the orders of Viscount Kelinxi," a soldier said indifferently.

Captain Gelin glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "I have my own judgment. You stay here to guard and prevent Qiaozhi from escaping; I will go in myself!"

"Yes."

Captain Gelin swept a glance at the soldiers left on guard outside, said nothing, and pushed the door open to enter.

The door creaked open, and Captain Qiaozhi turned his head to look.

Captain Qiaozhi looked at Captain Gelin standing at the doorway, observing his cold expression, completely unlike his usual grinning self.

Instead, it was a face full of solemnity.

Seeing his old friend reveal this look, Captain Qiaozhi's expression remained calm.

"Did Kelinxi send you to arrest me?" Captain Qiaozhi said calmly.

Hearing this, Captain Gelin did not speak, but lowered his head heavily.

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Captain Qiaozhi suddenly smiled; after signing that treaty written in French, he had already anticipated such an outcome.

He had once held a glimmer of hope for Britain, but this hope had been shattered by his own good friend.

"It is good that it is you; take me away."

Regarding his impending fate, Captain Qiaozhi chose to accept it readily.

According to the punishment for Treason recorded in British law, it was death regardless; he had no way to survive.

"Qiaozhi, this is not my..."

Captain Qiaozhi interrupted Captain Gelin's words and continued, revealing a smile.

Seeing this, Captain Gelin's eyes dimmed a little.

Just at this moment, the soldiers outside could no longer wait and rushed in.

They surrounded Captain Qiaozhi, their muskets all aimed at him. Before the grim-faced Captain Gelin could speak, the soldier sent by Kelinxi pressed coldly: "Captain, please issue the order!"

Captain Gelin's face was as dark as water.

Captain Qiaozhi had nothing to say.

Captain Gelin's fists tightened and then relaxed; he turned around and said in a deep voice.

"Arrest him."

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately arrested Captain Qiaozhi.

The soldier sent by Kelinxi looked at Captain Gelin and smiled: "Captain Gelin, this credit from your friend is enough to get you a promotion in rank."

"Viscount Kelinxi

has given you such a good opportunity; you must not fail to cherish it."

Captain Gelin looked at this soldier with icy eyes; he was Kelinxi's man.

He was sent by Kelinxi to supervise him.

He wanted nothing more than to blow his head off with a gun right now.

Captain Gelin clenched his fists, and the soldier glanced at him, then smiled faintly again: "Captain, I hope you understand that I am doing this for the sake of your future."

Captain Gelin watched the soldier of Kelinxi with icy eyes as he swaggered past him.

The look in one's eyes when wanting to kill someone cannot be hidden, and Captain Gelin had no intention of hiding his gaze at all.

The group escorted Captain Qiaozhi back toward the British Colonial District to report the mission.

Not long after descending the mountain, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

This escort squad of only ten people instantly fell into chaos.

Immediately following, countless Cavalry charged out from the withered forest.

Upon seeing these Cavalry, the soldier of Kelinxi looked horrified.

These Cavalry were all British Cavalry, and at this moment, these Cavalry were a group of butchers.

They charged toward them.

They were a Musket Team, but there were only ten of them, and the muskets in their hands had not yet had the chance to fire a single Bullet.

They were wiped out completely by the surging Cavalry.

Very quickly, only one of Kelinxi's soldiers remained.

Facing this scene, Kelinxi's soldier shouted in panic, "I am one of Kelinxi's men, you cannot kill me."

Those Cavalry looked at him indifferently, as if they were looking at a joke.

The fear of death instantly flooded his mind, and at this moment, he saw Captain Gelin standing to the side.

There was not a single scratch on his body.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Captain Gelin's camp and hurriedly ordered, "Captain Gelin, I am the Prosecutor sent by Kelinxi, quickly have your soldiers come to save us."

But just at this moment, his pupils constricted as he watched Captain Gelin untie the prisoner, Captain Qiaozhi.

Hearing the mocking laughter coming from the Britain Cavalry all around.

Only then did he realize what had happened.

"Gelin, I am a man of Lord Kelinxi, you cannot kill me!"

Captain Gelin looked at him with an indifferent expression, took the Musket from the hands of a Cavalryman, and slowly walked over.

Looking at the pitch-black Musket, he retreated in terror.

"You cannot kill me."

"I beg you, do not kill me."

"Killing me will not bring you any benefits either."

The pitch-black muzzle was pressed against his head; his face turned deathly pale, and his whole body trembled incessantly from fear.

He kept shouting in his mouth, "No, you cannot kill me..."

Captain Gelin said calmly, "Killing you will make me feel a bit better."

Bang!

The Bullet pierced through his head; Captain Gelin dropped the Musket and turned to leave indifferently.

Captain Qiaozhi saw this scene and frowned deeply.

"Gelin, there was no need for you to go this far for me."

Captain Gelin glanced at him and said calmly, "As brothers, I cannot watch you go to your death!"

"If you let me go, Kelinxi will not let you off either," Captain Qiaozhi said earnestly.

Captain Gelin shook his head: "Do not worry about that, you should go to Longyan."

"I have already arranged everything for you."

Captain Gelin did not give Captain Qiaozhi any chance to argue at all.

He mounted his horse and left.

Captain Qiaozhi stared blankly at the horse Gelin had left behind and sighed.
