Longmen Memoirs

He and his team stayed temporarily, and after repairing, they headed to the Western Front with the people in the camp.

The situation in Kazdare seems to have gradually become clearer, but new problems are secretly flowing under the gradually clearer situation, before this war and after this war.

Sakaz still has a long way to go.

ps: There will be some conflicts with the extra chapter, because the extra chapter was written first, but the conflict is not big.

Chapter 21 Welcome back, w

Kazdale West Line

Sakaz was running away crazily. He looked behind him from time to time. The huge sense of oppression made his whole body tremble. In the dark sky and gloomy light and shadow, it seemed that a beast that chose people to devour was gradually approaching.

Bang—[|

The soft sound was extremely clear in the silence.

Sakaz fell to the ground, and the sharp stone scratched his cheek. Severe pain spread from his lower limbs. He lowered his head, and blood was flowing from the crossbow arrow that penetrated his thigh.

Sakaz dragged his injured thigh and tried to stand up, but he failed. A leg wrapped in a hard-soled military boot stepped on his back, pinning him to the ground.

In the peripheral vision, there is a crossbow hanging down without arrows.

"Hey, I found it. You can really run."

A teasing voice sounded from behind.

Sakaz raised his head with difficulty, and he only saw the frightening and evil smile on the corner of the woman's mouth.

"You madman, what do you want...?"

Sakaz cursed subconsciously, and his voice was interrupted by the sharp pain in his thigh. The madman-like Sakaz reached out to hold the crossbow arrow on his wound, and with a smile, turned the crossbow arrow little by little.

The pain came and went straight to the bone marrow.

"...Stop, stop...kill me, you..."

"Don't worry, we still have a lot of time. You know I have a lot of questions to ask you. I just want you to be obedient. It will be good for both of us."

"madman."

"Ok?"

"You...what do you want to know? I don't know anything. You attacked the convoy...I don't even know..."

"To shut up!"

"..."

"Tell me, how many convoys are there like yours, what are your tasks, and the list of responders."

"I don't know, I really don't know anything."

"Don't rush to answer. In fact, I'm not in a hurry to know." W moved her legs and looked sadly at Sakaz's injuries on the ground: "You see you're bleeding a lot. If you just leave it alone, You may bleed dry."

"Do you feel fear? The feeling of waiting for your life to pass away little by little, watching yourself die little by little."

"What on earth do you want to do, kill me, bastard, you kill me."

Sakaz screamed hysterically.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" W stared at Sakaz's frightened face in front of him. He endured the pain, but faced the fear and tears before death: "Oh, it's so ugly to cry, Sakaz, but you Have you ever thought about this? To sacrifice your life for Tracy is to risk your own life."

"You can just kill him. This time he is the prey, and next time he might become you."

A sudden sound suddenly sounded among the ruins of the battlefield.

W looked towards the direction from which the sound came.

The visitor made her tsk lightly.

"It's you."

She no longer had the idea of ​​torturing her prey. Sarkaz on the ground wailed and tried to escape. Gunshots rang out and blood splattered everywhere.

"It's so noisy." W lowered the blunderbuss in his hand and raised his hand to rub his ears.

Hedley glanced down at the dead body.

"You're torturing your prey."

"Do you have any suggestions, my... former captain?"

"..."

"I thought I wouldn't meet you here, you and Ines..." Her eyes moved to Ines next to Hedley, who frowned and smiled.

"Long time no see."

"...Compared to this long sweat, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Your growth rate is really amazing." Hedley sighed sincerely. He noticed W's forearm, where there were burns that had healed. The scars left behind.

"It seems so, your hands are shaking." W replied nonchalantly.

Hedley made no rebuttal.

"I'm just a little rusty," he said.

"You have killed as many people as I have."

"We received intelligence that you are active around here. You have done a lot of big things during this period, W." Ines's eyes fell on the short blunderbuss in W's hand.

"Scout has a very high opinion of you, but now it seems that you have caused him a lot of trouble. You are becoming more and more accustomed to your status in the Tower of Babel."

"Ha, if you mean being a spymaster, you're no worse than me, Ines."

"Before saying this, I suggest you pay attention to your carelessly treated injuries. Otherwise, you will be the one who dies when the infection worsens."

"Hey? Are you caring about me?" W did not hide the surprise in her eyes, she opened her mouth slightly: "This really flatters me."

"...I hope that the next time I see you, no more words will come out of your disgusting mouth."

"It's rare for us to agree on this."

Ines really wanted to teach W that annoying face a profound lesson.

This guy is like this, making it difficult for people to communicate with her calmly. Probably her current teammates have also suffered a lot.

Hedley sighed helplessly again.

Regarding the conflict between Ines and W, he couldn't say a word at all. Fortunately, they didn't continue to ridicule each other.

They left the body behind and the three of them walked side by side through the ruins.

"That tower looks familiar. Where is it?"

w raised his eyes and stared at the signal tower in the distance.

Under the gloomy sky, a half-collapsed signal tower stood on the hillside not far away. It became some kind of landmark in the middle of the ruins that seemed to have been abandoned for some time.

"Here?" Hedley followed W's line of sight doubtfully. "The edge of the Western Theater... coordinates..."

Hedley's words suddenly stopped.

He remembered the signal tower, but it seemed so long ago.

"This is where W died, and this is where you joined us."

"This place has been completely turned into ruins." Ines glanced at W: "What? You still want to visit the old place again."

W shrugged.

"Do I seem to be such a sentimental person? I'm just the last target to escape here." She said, putting the gun back on her waist: "I guess your information was given to you by Scout. He brought it with him His team left early, and if nothing else, he should be looking for you, so let’s get straight to the point, the two executioners who have left the court.”

"Talk here?" Ines asked.

"Is it possible that you are still afraid of a dead body?" W looked at Ines in surprise: "When did you become so timid? He can't eavesdrop on our conversation."

"That's why you just killed him."

"What's the problem? We can't let him leave alive anyway."

W rested her arms on her head nonchalantly. She glanced sideways at Ines and said nothing.

"You have to pay attention to your current state, w, your shadow..."

"Okay, okay, I know what you want to say, but I'm fine, Ines, really, so don't tell me your feelings." W raised his eyebrows: "Don't forget, you have already He is no longer my captain."

"Tsk, it's still the same, annoying."

"Each each other."

Hedley clapped his hands to attract the attention of the two people. Maybe if he didn't say anything else, the two guys could keep sarcastic to each other until tomorrow morning.

"Now most of Kazdaele's forces are concentrated on the western front. Tresis has assigned several legions and remaining mercenary groups to go to the Thalia Plains. The military forces of the Parliament are also mobilizing accordingly. Both sides will surround Belgrade. This city and its surroundings form a new battlefield." Hedley said: "How many messages have you received, w?"

"Similar to you, I'm really anxious, that Tracys."

"It's understandable." Hedley replied: "The area he rules is constantly being compressed. Before the war is completely finalized, he must find an opportunity to break the situation."

"What is your mission?"

"Heading to the Western Front, it's not just us, you are one of them. Maybe even the Tower of Babel will appear on the Western Front battlefield in the near future."

"You mean His Highness, tsk, Scout never mentioned to me that His Highness will also come."

"I'm just saying that it's possible. Once Theresis appears, his power will cause a serious blow to our army. I have no intention or ability to make an enemy of him in Kazdaele, except for Her Highness Theresia. .”

"But I don't think it's that easy. I've heard about the council thing from Scout. Although he always complains, those guys really deserve to die!"

"There's a lot of damn people."

"Then maybe we can use the hands of some people to provoke civil strife again." W whistled, she said it lightly, as if the word "civil strife" was extremely ordinary.

"Watch your words, w." Ines couldn't help but say: "Even if you want to do something for your highness, it's not your turn to intervene."

"Ha, I forgot." W seemed to remember something. She looked at Ines's calm face and smiled: "This is your job. You follow that guy, so that guy will also appear on the battlefield? A little more By the way, you have adapted to your current status very well, Ines, how does it feel to be a Sakaz?"

"Terrible."

"Your Excellency will also go to the Western Front, but he will not go with us. He has his own schedule. We are one of the few groups that arrived late. Compared with the war on the front line, we have been absent for a long time."

"In other words, we are going to do things together again?" w asked after hesitating for a moment. "You're not very good at lying, Hedley. You must have other tasks, otherwise you wouldn't have made a special trip to see me."

"You are right." Hedley did not hide anything: "Scout said that your identity in the Tower of Babel is very hidden, which at least shows that he trusts you. Pardoner, how much do you know about this name?"

w frowned.

"Everyone in Sarkaz knows about the Pardoners. They are a tough group of guys, just like that bitch Askaron."

It seems that she suffered a lot from the Askaron in her mouth, otherwise W would not have said such highly targeted words.

Ines was a little surprised. She turned her head and glanced at Hedley, and saw the same thought in the other person's eyes.

Hedley shook his head slightly.

"Liting traced the Pardoner on the Western Front, and they were accompanied by a group of non-Sarkaz outsiders."

"You are saying that the purpose of the Pardoner is the leaders of the garrison on the Western Front, ah, our group of loyal congressmen and generals, what do they want to do, intimidate and induce..."

"Don't make it so obvious." Ines said: "The Pardoner's reputation is not small. At least among the upper-level forces of Sakaz, their influence and presence have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"I quite hope they betray."

"Even if they betray you and it's not your turn to take action, arrogance will only kill you. I remember what I taught you before."

"We didn't decide the winner that time, Ines. It was as if you won."

"Can you please listen to what I have to say?" Hedley finally couldn't help it anymore. She felt that maybe she shouldn't come over and it would be better to leave the task to Ines, because these two guys would always change the topic to something else. The place.

The two stopped talking at the same time, but still stared at each other provocatively.

There is no need to say much about their feelings.

He【%|

"The intelligence department and the court at the Tower of Babel believe that the appearance of this group of pardoners may affect the war situation on the Western Front, so the plan is to lure this group of people out, and then deal with them, or prevent their original actions. This This is also the main reason why Li Tinghui will appear on the front line. There are many MPs and forces in the Tower of Babel. We and your Excellency have a lot of prejudices, but at least if he appears on the battlefield, they will restrain themselves, but it also means showing up. The process of leaving court will be more difficult than in the past."

"I know this. I don't know how many people in Kazdale want to kill you, you and Ines. This has nothing to do with me. It's your business."

"No, you are one of them now." Ines smiled slightly: "Three days ago, Scout assigned you and your team to our side. Well, he didn't mention it to you."

W's smile froze on his lips.
