Chapter 43 Killing the Enemy, Surrender and Interrogation (Part 1)

Although Rhett Butler spoke eloquently, what he didn't expect was that Scarlett Hao was a woman who already had a prejudice against him. When a woman has a prejudice, it is useless to say or do anything.

Paine was secretly amused. In the original story that Blue Star read in his previous life, Rhett Butler was the licking dog next to Scarlett Hao. Many people say that Scarlett is too pretentious, or that their love is out of sync. In fact, the most important thing is that Rhett Butler doesn't understand women, or he understands but doesn't bother to do it. He is too conceited and always thinks that he can handle everything.

Now it seems that although the story has changed a lot, the character setting has remained the same, and Rhett Butler is still so self-righteous. Who is Scarlett Hao now? She is a witch with extraordinary power, and Rhett Butler cannot fool her.

"All I know is that now I decide whether you live or die!"

Scarlett Hao took a deep breath, and a ball of flame jumped out of her hand and flew towards Rhett Butler. There was only a puff, and along with Rhett Butler's scream, there was only a burning sound of beep, beep, beep.

"Come on, he's dead. Go back to the warehouse and we'll drive away in the carriage! We won't know until the Yankee soldiers arrive."

Scarlett Hao said with a pale face, the magic flame just drained the last bit of her magic power.

"It's too late, they're already here."

said Paine, who heard a series of rapid footsteps and the sound of horse hooves.

Yes, the soldiers of the Northern Confederacy were coming towards them. They were not deaf. Although this was an empty area for garrison, they could still hear noises all around. They surrounded here in groups and cut off the nearby roads. There were infantry and cavalry. Paine even heard the squeaking of wheels. There was a squeaking sound as the cannon was being pulled over.

It seems that after a fierce battle, the federal army still maintains its ability to fight. No wonder they can withstand the attacks of the players.

The first thing the soldiers found was the body lying in the street, and they went to look at it.

"We should go out and surrender. It would be terrible if they find us."

Paine told Scarlett Hao that their bunker was relatively hidden, and the soldiers searching everywhere had not discovered them for a while.

"You are crazy. The Yankees will not let me go. I would rather commit suicide!"

Scarlett Hao was very resistant.

"Think of your sister."

Paine could only persuade this stubborn woman in roundabout ways.

"The Yankees don't know you are a witch. Sherman even asked Petey to cooperate with him. The Yankees have no reason to kill us, because we are just civilians who want to escape the war. It's okay."

After some persuasion, Scarlett Hao reluctantly agreed. At this time, the federal soldiers had discovered the carriage in the warehouse and was walking towards them.

Paine buried the pistol in a pile of rubble, tore off the white lining of his butler's uniform and wrapped it in his hand, slowly stood up and walked towards the soldier closest to them.

"We are civilians and have no weapons!"

"So, it's Rhett Butler and those mysterious people fighting dog?"

"Butcher" Sherman did not look as scary as Scarlett had described him. To Paine, he was just a middle-aged man with thinning hair.

"That's it, sir. The young lady and I were frightened and hid."

The federal soldiers escorted Paine and Scarlett to General Sherman, the current top commander in Atlanta. Sherman was worried about the methods of those mysterious people at this time. He heard that the mysterious people and the traitor Rhett Butler had sneaked into Atlanta and died. Only a pair of civilian men and women, who were said to want to run away, immediately became interested and decided to interrogate them in person overnight.
