Chapter 402. A Bountiful Harvest

According to the arranged script, Joshua was granted 'reasonable mercy' by his son and fell into a coma. Then, a Nightingale from the expedition army was assigned to guard the place.

In fact, this was not just the mercy of Lucius, but part of it was also to appease the others to a certain extent.

Imagine that your teammate, whom you risked your life to protect during a crisis, suddenly puts a knife to your throat. Now their leader is in your hands, wouldn't it be satisfying to stab them in revenge?

However, if your leader releases them to win over people's hearts, even though you may not say anything, the resentment in your heart is still burning as strong as ever.

Such resentment is often a prelude to unrest... Naturally, Lucius would not make such a mistake.
