Chapter 89 The Truth
It's just that Layden's defeat came a little earlier than Lu Ye expected.

Seeing the various faces of the people, Lu Ye took a deep breath and returned to the room.

After taking a shower and telling the nurse to take care of Violet, Lu Ye left the nursing home.

He spent money to buy six tickets to a small country in the east.

That place is called Mana. Although the technology is not developed, it is a peaceful place away from the flames of war.

Then he gave them to people he knew well.

Old woman in clothing store.

Mello with her brother.

And Hawkins and Ye Zhou...

I heard that these two guys went to the front a few days ago, were lucky to survive, and then successfully quit the army.

The reason for sending it was winter travel.

The journey from Leiden to Mana will be particularly beautiful in spring and winter, so Lu Ye invited them to see it.

These people readily accepted it. After all, during the Conference of Nations, people would be restricted from going out, and it was better to travel than to stay at home.

The back and forth time is about a week or so...but enough.

The Conference of Nations will begin in three days, and both the victorious and the defeated nations will come here.

If Lu Ye succeeds, Hawkins and the others will come back in a week.

And if Lu Ye fails, there is a high probability that they will not come back, because the war will continue.

And the last ticket was left for Violet by him.

If she still can't wake up after three days, then Lu Ye will send her to Mana, and ask the old lady and Melo to take care of her.

The rest of the battle...will be fought by myself.

After that, Lu Ye came to the prison in the army.

He came to visit the prison.

With his current status, it is not difficult to come in and visit the prison.

Across the cold iron prison, he saw the colonel, Osinlide.

Because of Kenny's accident, Osinlid was sentenced to death.

That's right, the higher ups urgently needed a scapegoat, and the colonel who raised this matter became the first choice... This can be regarded as a wrong attack.

The political party that was hostile to the colonel took the opportunity to put pressure on him, and successfully put the death penalty on the colonel.

"You won, congratulations." The man behind the bars said.

"Really," Lu Ye looked at the man in shackles, "Should I call you Colonel, or should I call you Fermond?"

"Fermond, you don't know Osinlide at all." The old man smiled, the scar on his face was horrifying.

"Where's your clone?" Lu Ye asked, "Or, where did the Colonel go?"

"I was killed. After I knew that I was sentenced to death, I wanted to run to Fanerdong, but I was stopped on the road."

"This joke is not funny." Lu Ye said expressionlessly.

"So... what are you going to do next, take the girl away and fly away, or continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in this city?" Fermond said, "You are now a nobleman, right? A person who has made great contributions to the country You will be awarded the title of nobleman, you helped Raiden improve the mecha, and you also saved Kenny, you deserve money and status... But I still recommend you to go back."

"Where are you going?"

"Go home. You are so naive. When a person is determined to do something, it is difficult to stop him. Originally, in my plan, many people would die in this port. When the timing is about right, I He will lead people to repel Fanerdong's troops... After that, no matter whether the ministers of the ceremony agree or not, Raiden will set off a storm of resentment."

"So you want me to die now, but you still persuade me to leave because of Violet, right?" Lu Ye said, "Your child looks very similar to her."

"It turns out that you have already met." Fermond said with a smile, "It's not my clone after all, so I can't give him orders."

"So I guessed right, the dead man was the colonel, and his clone survived."

"That's right, I took his face and cut it one by one, and made myself into what I am now." Fermond gestured on his face with his hands, "The people in our village were all about the same size. , although the facial features are different, if you look at them roughly, you will have the illusion that they are the same person."

"So, it's you, or the avatar, who has been communicating with me all this time?"

"Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's the avatar. After all, sometimes I have to contact the 'chief scientist' in Valwon and tell him how to modify the nerve connection device."

"Why do this?"

"Since you already know that I am Fermond, and you know that I am the one who provided the nerve connection technology to Fanerdong, you should have also found out my background."

"All I know is that you used to be a slave."

"No... Before I became a slave, I was a free person." Fermond slowly put away the smile on his face.

"If you want revenge, you just need to destroy Raiden, right?"

"You should have heard a story about a team that went to rescue the team members, but was killed by the villagers in the end..."

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

In fact, because of the colonel's status as a slave, the military department kept his files hidden.

That's why some good soldiers thought about digging up the colonel's past.

"There is a follow-up to that story. Do you want to hear the real version?" Fermond raised his head, revealing a scar on his neck that Osinlid did not have. "As you said, the person who died was Osinlid. Lid, but he did not die that day. Before carrying out that mission, we finally found the instigator, Cliff, the nobleman who drank the blood of my people to ascend to the high position. After finding out the whereabouts and encounters of the people, We planned a rescue on the one hand, and on the other hand prepared a plan using the two fragments, but either way, Cliff must die."

"But that coward Cliff prepared means because he was afraid of our revenge. He used money to bribe an army officer at the time. Under the officer's embellished report, that mission was considered to be mine as the captain. Serious dereliction of duty, and another soldier who was rescued by me and Osinlid also received threats, he was forced to write perjury in the report and diary respectively, and finally I was sentenced to death for my gross negligence.”

"But Osinlide saved you..."

"That's right, originally he was planning to use his clone to pretend to be me to die instead of me, and he went to Fanerdong, but before the plan was implemented, he himself was killed by the officer, and then I shot him. The soldiers heard how he died, just like when the village was breached, he died under more than 20 guns and killed four people before he died..."

"Then how did you survive?" Lu Ye asked.

"The avatar told me the news. Originally, he was still preparing to disguise himself as me, and he told me as soon as the main body died."

"So you became Osinlide. Since the news has not spread, it proves that you killed all the parties involved."

Fermond laughed lowly, "I still remember when I stood in front of the officer and Chris, their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost. Isn't it funny that someone would kidnap his people's country Hard work. I wonder if those well-dressed people standing on the red carpet are laughing every time Osinlide and I come back with wounds and blood."

"Then logically speaking, your goal should be to destroy Raiden."

"It started like that, but I got inspired."

"Inspiration?"

"In that night, we slept soundly, the guards were killed, and the villagers cut the throats of the soldiers one by one, until we realized that, he and I easily killed the villagers, leaving a Live, Osinlide asked him the reason, and that reason enlightened us."

Fermond smiled and said: "In order to kill us, those villagers did not hesitate to expose their own country's military fortress, and spared no effort to help us in exchange for our trust. Do you know why, because the country is nothing to those old people? Importantly, their children went to the battlefield and never came back, so they want to attack us, although they didn't directly kill their relatives, but in their view, we are the murderers."

"It turns out that the captives and those who sent your people will all die. If they can't find them, they will use the general environment to make them suffer."

Lu Ye understood why Ausinlide had gone through so much effort to plan all this.

If he just wanted to destroy Raiden, with the power of the protoss fragments, he would have succeeded long ago.

Where did he want to avenge Leiden, the object of his vengeance was the entire Western Continent.

The cities, buildings, and transportation all have the presence of slaves.

And among those suffering people, there may be his people.

All those nations that thrive on slaves... are all sinners, murderers.

……

Decades ago, railways ran across the continent.

Just as Columbus discovered the American continent and brought disaster to the aborigines.

The development of transportation technology has also brought danger to the people in the original place.

At that time, the war in the western continent had just ended, and Layden dominated the leadership of the southern countries.

A lot of waste was waiting to be done, and countries lacking in population discovered that there were still many aborigines on this continent, and the slave trade developed.

They used guns to suppress those natives, put heavy collars and shackles on them, and then sent them to the country by train to make them work for them... This phenomenon did not disappear until a certain bill was passed by Layden, making slaves You can also redeem your freedom at a low price, but this is all later.

At that time, a family named Cliff made a lot of money in business, and later invested in the Southeastern Railway.

When Cliff, the owner of the house, came across a village while admiring along the railway, a group of special people lived in it.

The men of the village are natural fighters, and the women's unpainted faces are more beautiful than gems.

In the era when slaves were on the rise, Cliff had a twisted mind.

After he successfully transported these people back through sweet words or some means, he immediately received a lot of support.

The men were used as coolies, and the women were given to the royal family in charge of Leiden according to their appearance ratings.

Cliff was bestowed a title of nobility, gaining wealth and fame.

And that ancient village is Violet's hometown.

This is how it all started.

To enslave others for their own benefit.

Sometimes it is hard to tell who is the civilized person.

In a way, those countries that supported and enforced the slave trade did nothing but blame themselves.

The long river of history would have flowed like this.

It's a pity that when Ausinlide and Fermond were still young, they seemed to be guided by fate.

They witnessed the falling of the stars, obtained fragments with strange powers, and discovered the truth.

The seeds of hatred then grew into a towering tree in his heart, blinding everything.

"Your clansmen...how many have you recovered?"

"So far, only 23 people are alive...I sent them back to their hometown. The truth of the matter is that simple. The so-called conspiracy is just a means to achieve the goal. I am very grateful for that fragment, otherwise I would not be able to complete my mission. The revenge of her... Don't interfere with this matter, you will get the fragments as you wish in three days, I believe you can give her happiness."

"I don't know if I can take her away."

"Then send her back to our hometown," Fermond said. "I remember Osinlide mentioned before that there was a ship with a circus that contained clues to our people, but he didn't find the clues. The ship turned out to be in trouble near the sea area of ​​that isolated island."

"I will consider it, but before that, I have to deal with Osinlid's clone first."

"why?"

"I still remember the question you said, 'If you could end a war by sacrificing one or two people, what would you do?' I want to hear your answer on that."

"Of course, it is a good deal to end the war by sacrificing one or two people."

"At first I thought the one or two people you mentioned were me or Violet, but now it seems that I was wrong. Wouldn't doing so intensify the war?"

"True, but by then my war will be over."

"That's it..."

"I have a 'patriotism', this sentence is indeed true, but it is not for Layden, but for the people in that homeland. The scars on my face and the fate of those people are always overwhelming me I am angry, but I am not bound by these things, but take the initiative to bear them. If I can’t avenge them, I have no face to continue living in this world. Every time I walk through this land stained with their blood and sweat The city is so disgusting that it makes people want to vomit... You haven't experienced this feeling, so you want to save these people with your false hypocrisy? Those people should be damned, the glamorous skin is the essence of a beast."

"Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, I like your style," Lu Ye said, "I thought about it, if Violet was captured by slave traders and subjected to various abuses, I think I will definitely compare You are still ruthless... But, I made an oath, I want to make her happy, a girl living on a land ravaged by war will not be happy.

"I said……"

"You're wrong, Fermond, your definition of happiness is too narrow. You live in a small place without any war, just domestic animals in captivity. It's one thing to want to move around, but another to be able to go out." What happened. She lived alone on the island for so long, I still remember how curious her eyes were when she first came to Port Lyden, and I also remember the sparkle in her eyes when she put on the dress for the first time Happy, the world is big, and she is at the best age. After I leave, she will swim in this continent, like a fish in the sea, meet more people here, learn more about feelings, and become a better person. A good person... Although I was no longer by her side at that time, this is the happiness I want to give her, rather than leaving her a continent full of war."

"She will be very sad if you die." Fermond's eyes were cold.

"By the way, do you know why I found out about your plan to raid Kenny?"

As Lu Ye said, he took out a black object from his arms.

"It's because I used the power of fragments to create a clone, and I deceived your eyeliner to send a letter to Fanerdong as early as the day I first arrived in Raiden. You used 'Fermond' to send Fanerdong Neural connection technology, and I use the spies of Valdong to send them information."

"Shards should have no power..."

"But the fact is that it happened. If I win the first time, I can win the second time. Can I ask your real name at the end?"

"Pointless."

"That's right... Let me give you another very personal reason."

"Say."

"You once wanted to kill me, I was very scared, so only after you died, I will feel at ease, this time there is no second clone."

Lu Ye aimed the gun at the old man and pulled the trigger.
