Longmen Memoirs

"Look at her. Since the team is about to disband, I don't have the right to order w." Hedley said: "Besides, she has never obeyed discipline."

"She is indeed such a person. I thought you would find time to deal with her." Ines said, "Well... Just like you dealt with the other teams in that camp."

"...It's better to throw her to the Tower of Babel."

Hedley did not deny that if one day W's actions were really too flamboyant and uncontrollable, he would not hesitate at all. Everything had been predicated on preserving the team, and anyone's sacrifice was feasible.

"The purpose of her coming here was to get your head on your neck." Ines reminded, with a hint of regret: "It seems that she has no chance."

Hedley's expression【*#

"I don't even know when your relationship with her became so good."

"Huh, just don't worry about her causing trouble for you. I can't control that much. You brought the person back by yourself. If anything happens, you will be responsible for it and it has nothing to do with me." Ines cleared the relationship.

"Ugh……"

Hedley sighed helplessly and rubbed his aching forehead. "Since you won't see each other again, just talk less."

"Not always."

Ines raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Hedley: "Let's make a deal first. If the Tower of Babel asks me to work under the commander named Doctor, I won't do it."

Ines eventually stayed.

Hedley asked why, and Ines said there was no reason.

"Don't be brave, no matter why, wouldn't it be a good thing to have more helpers? Why didn't I remember that you were the one who cared about this?"

Maybe it was because he didn't know where he should go after he left, maybe because he couldn't bear to let Hedley stay in the Tower of Babel, or maybe there were various other possibilities, but he was not used to it and had not thought about it.

In short, she stayed and ended her career as a mercenary wandering the land, just like she had met Hedley and created a team of their own with him.

The flag fell, but the people remained.

"Then you come to me?"

The two mercenaries in front of him were sitting opposite Chen Mo. This was the camp that once belonged to the city's garrison. When the former garrison left, this temporary camp was also abandoned, and the new garrison camp was located closer. The location of the new industrial zone and the core city.

"Have you been shopping around in Gray?" Chen Mo asked without looking up. He looked at the documents in his hand. Hedley was a little reserved and sat on the sofa. Ines sat on the other side.

"On the way, I heard His Highness mention that the Tower of Babel did not prohibit us from entering this city. In fact, both of us were surprised by what happened here in Grai. In Kazdaele, a city like Grai, perhaps There was it before, but now...it's only here."

"But I think this is not the main reason why you are here." Chen Mo put down the document and crossed his hands on the table: "Let's get straight to the point. Grai's situation seems to be prosperous, and everything comes from Theresia's identity. and the Tower of Babel, but this is Kazdaele, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it. The rapid rise of Grai is far less than the speed of destruction."

"I can understand that you still have scruples in your heart, but I can't guarantee you anything. Hedley, you should have heard a lot of rhetoric. Compared to boasting, I believe you have your own set of ideas in your heart. ." Chen Mo looked at Hedley, then looked at Ines aside: "Tell me... what made you avoid the Tower of Babel and come to me."

"Don't speak too harshly, Your Excellency!" Ines suddenly stood up and said.

"Ines..." Hedley stopped him.

"Ines, right? This is our second meeting." Chen Mo looked at Ines, who was looking straight at him: "I understand why you are in your current situation, because you accepted the Tower of Babel's The mission and our tactics have caused your team's current strength to be greatly damaged."

"You have resentment and dissatisfaction with the Tower of Babel, but this is Kazdaele. I also worked as a mercenary for a period of time. The team that is not strong enough is eaten by the stronger team. The law of the jungle is a common rule in your industry. If you were stronger than me, you would be the one sitting in this position now, but you are weaker than me, so you have nothing to complain about." Chen Mo said, "Liting is different from the Tower of Babel. This place may be more suitable for you mercenaries, but here It’s also more cruel than the Tower of Babel. If you have a chance to stay here, how about you remember this first?”

Ines sighed, she did not use magic observation, she did so last time, and she was very sure that the other party could detect the traces of her magic.

She sat down again.

"Very good, it seems you understood and didn't use spells rashly."

Hedley turned to look at Chen Mo. He was afraid that the people in front of him would have conflicts because of Ines's impulse.

"I hope you don't take offense."

"Don't be nervous." Chen Mo waved his finger: "I'm not a noble or a big shot. I don't have so many red tapes to worry about offending. And it's good for you and me to talk it out like this."

Hedley let out a breath.

He heard Chen Mo say again: "Last time we talked about the future direction of you and your team. The intersection with the Tower of Babel will indeed make the road you will take in the future more difficult, but it is not a bad thing for you. It’s a good thing to leave Kazdale as soon as possible, otherwise being involved in this man-made disaster is not a situation that you scattered mercenaries can bear.”

"Yes." Hedley did not deny: "But if we leave like this, to be honest, many people have decided to stay, and the team will not survive. Even if we leave Kazdaele, with the current situation and Sasha The identity of the Kaz people cannot be sustained in the outside world for long, and apart from that, I am really unwilling to leave like this."

"Aren't you willing to be anonymous? Not willing to be reduced to that situation?" Chen Mo asked.

Hedley chuckled and no longer had too many taboos.

"To tell you the truth, I'm afraid not many people want to live their lives as ordinary as the weeds on the roadside." Hedley said.

"You're somewhat of a celebrity now, Hedley."

"Yes." Hedley clenched and unclenched his hand on his lap: "But the more I bear these titles, the more unwilling I feel."

"Don't talk about the matter of making a marquis. One general will accomplish the feat... and all the bones will wither." Chen Mo muttered softly.

Hedley was stunned. He did not understand the language of this sentence.

"If it hadn't been for this incident and the Tower of Babel, even if half of your team were still there, I'm afraid you wouldn't have had these thoughts, would you, Hedley?"

Hedley hesitated for a moment and did not refute.

If his team is still there and there are enough people who can leave with them, he knows that he still has many ways to go.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

No matter what, they have reached this point for various reasons, and if they want to survive and survive for a long time, they have to rely on one of them. Moreover, if he hadn't seen the strength of the Tower of Babel on the battlefield, Hedley would also It is impossible to make this choice.

He has always been overthinking and unwilling to take risks easily.

Chen Mo saw Hedley's confusion, and he did not continue to ask.

"In that case, why not choose the Tower of Babel?" Chen Mo asked: "You must know that you can do a lot more there than I can. The Tower of Babel needs manpower, and based on your and Ines' experiences, both suitable."

"Perhaps as you just said, for mercenaries like us who are accustomed to the battlefield and have more worries and doubts, the atmosphere in the Tower of Babel is not suitable for us."

"Think their ideas are too naive? But we are also part of the Tower of Babel."

"So, there isn't really much difference between joining here and joining there, right? Your Excellency, and the style and methods of doing things here may be more suitable for people like us."

"..."

"You do have a lot on your mind, Hedley."

Chen Mo looked at Hedley's raised lips.

"You have talked to me several times. Please forgive me if I have offended you. It's just Dr. Kelsey who also made the same invitation to us..."

Hedley hesitated to speak.

It was a rare occasion for Chen Mo to display his majesty as a military chief.

"Then let her come to me!"

He said this with great assurance, and had been waiting for Hedley to throw himself into the trap.

Hedley breathed a sigh of relief.

Ni Yan looked at the two figures disappearing side by side in the corridor. He opened the door and happened to see Chen Mo looking over.

The eldest girl Sakaz walked into the room, closed the door, and looked at the table.

"Are you so busy that you don't even have time to prepare two drinks?"

She said slightly helplessly.

"They are not really guests." Chen Mo replied. "And you know I'm not good at doing this. They deliberately bypassed the Tower of Babel and I had to deal with it for them."

Ni Yan came over and put the documents he brought on Chen Mo's table. Chen Mo calmly took them and opened them.

"Are you accepting them?" Ni Yan stared at Chen Mo who was looking down at the documents.

"For the time being..." Chen Mo said: "We still have to observe it for a while until they are familiar with the work here. After all, they used to be mercenaries, and some of the rules are not suitable for now. But I think since they are well prepared, they should be ready soon." You can adapt.”

[{

"Give them a team first... Do you want me to sign here?" Chen Mo raised his head and asked, holding a pen in his hand.

"Well, it's the quantity of supplies provided by the Tower of Babel. You can sign after you confirm it is correct."

Chen Mo wrote his name.

"Is it much less than before?" he asked.

"A lot of the budget was misappropriated for training the new army at the Tower of Babel." Niyan replied: "Grai's investment also accounts for a large part. We still need to continue to build that land cruiser, which can provide us with the highest ranking These back.”

"In this way...it seems that the joint meeting held this time not only needs to discuss the direction of the future war situation, but also needs to obtain financial support from the lords of various places. It is not that easy." Chen Mo closed the document and handed it back to Niyan: "I guess Babel There are already lobbyists in the tower who were first sent by the lord to inquire."

"Yes, I saw people dressed like this hanging out in the Provisional Council."

"Have you had contact?"

"No."

"Forget it, Tower of Babel will only make more mess than us. If they don't mention these things, we don't need to pay attention to them." Chen Mo ordered.

"Yes."

"For the meeting in a week, please find time to take Hogg over to Babel to hand over the matter and discuss the security schedule of the meeting. They should have a plan, but then the meeting rushed into Gray There will be many secrets, they will need our help, there are some things they are not easy to do."

"Then those mercenary teams that are rushing towards Grai through this meeting need us to come forward to warn them?" Ni Yan asked.

"If Babel has no objections." Chen Mo paused: "If Babel refuses, let Hedley and Ines take people there in the name of mercenaries."

"I understand." Mud Rock nodded.

"At that time, pay attention to the reactions of various envoys. I estimate that these concepts promoted in Grai will be challenged at the meeting. After all, although His Highness has made adjustments to cope with the situation, these people are not fools. They can understand these things. The impact that ideas can have.”

Mud Rock frowned.

"You think they're going to blackmail the Tower of Babel because of that?"

"Coercion does not count. His Highness's identity is there. This is the legitimacy of this war. However, there should be no shortage of secret difficulties. You must know that although the cake in the future is delicious, it has not yet been eaten. Who knows? Whether it is bitter or sweet, not every Sakaz is willing to change this land, and it is more than a change that exceeds their expectations." Chen Mo said: "Otherwise, how could this war have been fought until now."

Ni Yan hesitated for a moment, her expression was solemn, and she clenched the document in her hand.

"I will take personal responsibility for this matter."

"Thank you, Adjutant, but you don't have to be too nervous. You are not facing this alone. I think Kelsey and the doctor are already thinking of ways to deal with it."

Chen Mo put down his pen and walked out of his chair, stretching in the direction of the window sill. He looked outside the lattice bed facing the tall chimney of the factory. Invisible in the distance, the parliament building that took a year to build will be opened tomorrow. It was officially completed, but he was unable to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

He didn't feel sorry for it.

It was enough for him to be grateful that Glenen had grown from the small town that had crossed the military buffer zone on the Western Front to the Eastern Front and joined the Tower of Babel due to the doctor's and his own attempts to become what it is now.

All this is due to the Tower of Babel, and he did just a small job.

Mud Yan looked at his back.

He turned around and smiled at the light and shadow outside the window, facing the owner who looked at him with doubtful red eyes.

"I have been sitting here all morning as you requested, your Excellency, Adjutant."

Chen Mo said and walked over, took the document in Ni Yan's hand and put it on the table, pressing the stunned Sakaz girl into the position that originally belonged to him.

"So I'll ask you to take my place next time."

"How can this be done! Sir..."

Ni Yan struggled to stand up. She had a serious expression on her face, and Chen Mo's hands firmly held her shoulders.

"Why not? Didn't you do a good job when I was away?" Chen Mo asked back.

"But you were not here at that time [$

"Just pretend I'm not here." Chen Mo said. Ni Yan stretched out his hand to break away from the shoulder he was holding. When it touched the back of Chen Mo's hand, he quickly retracted it, hesitating and having nowhere to put it.

A faint blush appeared on Sakaz's fair face.

Chen Mo, who was standing behind him, failed to notice.

He watched Ni Yan settle down and let go of his hand. The latter raised his head and looked at him. Chen Mo stood at attention and saluted.

Seriously.

"Report to Chief Niyan that Soldier Chen Mo is now on leave in accordance with regulations."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door without looking back.
