Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

Amiya and Dubin called out behind her, and she heard them clearly, but she had no intention of obeying the orders.

Tallulah made a hush gesture.

"Quiet--"

After saying that, the heat applied to Lin Guang's body surface increased sharply, and she cried out in pain.

"Uh-huh!"

Du Bin once again tried to persuade Lin Guang to step back, but Lin Guang, despite the danger of being scalded to death, did not move an inch.

Feng Qingyu felt something was wrong, so he picked up his shield and came to Lin Guang's side.

"I'll block it with you."

She stared straight at Tallulah opposite her, but Tallulah seemed not to recognize her. Her eyes were as if she saw a stranger, a... clown jumping in front of her, with a mocking smile on her face.

That smile seemed to be saying that if one tries to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, one will overestimate one's own abilities and will soon be crushed into dust.

Feng Qingyu suspected that Tallulah had been put under a spell, otherwise...how could she have become like this?

The next moment, ACE realized something and shouted "Squat down", and everyone subconsciously did what he said.

His judgment was correct. Tallulah used magic to create an invisible fire that swept over everyone's heads and the entire block began to melt.

The Reunion behind Tallulah clapped and cheered in unison, proud of their leader.

"What am I fighting?"

Lin Guang had encountered many tough opponents in his knight career, but he had never seen anyone as powerful and terrifying as Tallulah.

At this moment, with all the members of Rhodes Island nowhere to escape, the only way is to confront Tallulah head-on.

"We must disrupt her spellcasting process... Sniper Operator! Aim at the target enemy!"

Interrupt the enemy's use of a terrifying skill. She will need to wait for the CD to cool down before launching it again, which should buy some time.

ACE immediately ordered the sniper operators to aim at Tallulah and concentrate their firepower on her.

Tallulah uttered that memorable quote.

"Resistance will bring hope to the world. But resistance cannot change your fate."

She raised the corners of her mouth and showed a contemptuous smile to the Rhodes Island operators.

"Chernobog has been liberated. Our work is done, and I have developed a mild interest in you."

Tallulah changed the subject and the smile on her face disappeared.

"But that's all. You made the wrong choice. Rhodes Island, you should really stand on the side of the infected."

In just the blink of an eye, the entire square was burnt.

The arrows, stones, crossbows fired by the sniper operators, and everything around Tallulah were all burned to ashes by her.

“You have the resilience of a liberator, but I’m tired of it.”

Tallulah moved closer.

Even though she walked slowly, the rolling heat waves around her hit her in the face, and Feng Qingyu felt like she was about to be roasted dry.

Is it possible that the big sister wants to kill me?

Feng Qingyu had no way to communicate with Tallulah. She couldn't, absolutely couldn't reveal the secret that she and Tallulah knew each other.

Tallulah continued to talk to herself, moving closer and closer.

"You will always pay the price for killing your compatriots. I will give you an ending that I like very much. - Destruction."

Feng Qingyu previously called this scene the "Chant of the Tyrant". Now that I can hear it with my own ears, it feels very subtle.

Tallulah is no longer gentle, but murderous. Every step she takes spreads her despair farther and wider.

Just as Feng Qingyu was about to rush forward to block Tallulah's spell, Amiya took the lead and went to duel Tallulah.

"I won't let you hurt them. I won't... allow you to do that!"

Tallulah raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

The two finally fought.

Amiya's ring contains enormous power. Now no one in the team can compete with Tallulah. If she uses the ring, she can barely delay some time.

Lin Guang couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up his shield and rushed to Amiya's side, ignoring Dubin's dissuasion.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go destroy that dragon lady's spell."

Lin Guang has already made up his mind to die, but unfortunately, he has not yet confessed his love to that guy Bai Jin.

"If... I can't go back, Doberman, please help me tell Bai Jin that I have liked her for a long time."

"Also, she's really good in bed. I really want to... do it again."

Doberman: ...

"If you have these words, why don't you go back alive and tell Bai Jin yourself?"

Doberman couldn't stop Lin Guang and could only watch her walk in front of Tallulah.

"The light of Casimir, the Brilliant Knight will dedicate himself to you—"

Lin Guang's body was surrounded by an intense light, which might be the last light she could emit.

Are those words just now considered as last words? Dubin wondered.

Dubin had no choice but to urge the doctor to run first. Now the dragon girl was being dragged by two people and had no time to take care of the doctor for the time being.

If the Doctor falls into the hands of the Reunion, all is lost.

"Doctor, hurry up! We will stay to help Amiya and the others, so... you must evacuate now, immediately, with the others!"

The doctor was concerned about Feng Qingyu who was fighting at the front and refused to withdraw no matter what.

Besides, even if Tallulah didn't come to stop them, with so many guys from the Reunion Movement, it would be impossible for them to leave safely.

"No, I can't leave. I have to stay and command the battle."

A commander who abandons his operators and runs away is a jerk, and the doctor has no intention of doing that.

She was observing Tallulah, trying to see something in her eyes.

But she couldn't see through it.

In those beautiful golden eyes, there was bottomless despair and struggle. The flames burning Kiri Castle were the embodiment of the endless despair and pain in her heart.

Death of Seventy Aces

"That's enough, Amiya. You've been amazing. Share some of your burden with us."

ACE patted Amiya's shoulder with his rough hand.

"Doberman, take them first, I'll follow in a moment."

Dubin suddenly choked up and became speechless.

She felt a soreness in her eyes and nose, but soldiers cannot show too much emotion on the battlefield, as emotions can easily affect plans.

"ACE..."

Dubin knew that if ACE stayed, he would never be able to return. The dragon girl's fire would turn this city into ashes.

Amiya was very reluctant, but she no longer had the extra strength to fight Tallulah.

Tallulah is very strong, so strong that it is terrifying. As long as she wants, no one here can escape the fate of death.

"ACE...you...must...come back..."

Amiya couldn't utter a complete sentence. She was afraid that she would cry and her eyes would be blurred by tears.

Dubin had already pulled her back. That road had not yet been occupied by the Integration Movement, so they still had a chance to leave.

ACE looked at the Doctor, "I'm sorry, Doctor, you may not remember me. But I remember you and know what kind of person you are. One day, you will face this cruel land together with Amiya. So, protect her, Doctor. Let's go, I wish you a smooth journey."

This was the first time that ACE and the Doctor talked so much at once.

This was also the last time that the Doctor heard so many words from ACE.

Before the doctor could answer, he just nodded to ACE before being dragged away by the operators.

Lin Guang was the last one to leave. She didn’t want to leave behind ACE and Team E3, but she was also at the end of her strength and in an extremely disadvantageous position. There was no way she could contribute to defeating the Dragon Lady.

Compared to Tallulah, she is now vulnerable.

After everyone from Rhodes Island left, ACE glanced at the "little guy" beside him who refused to leave. Although he was called a little guy, he was actually only a dozen centimeters shorter than him.

"As I recall, you are a new operator named Kuroba. Do you want to stay here and live and die with our E3 team?"

Feng Qingyu lit a cigarette.

It's said to be lighting a cigarette, but in fact it's just taking out the cigarette and placing the butt against the shield.

The surface of the shield was extremely hot, hot enough to light a cigarette.

"yes"

Feng Qingyu wanted to try to save ACE, although her power was very weak, but...

Her eyes were fixed on Tallulah in front of her. There was struggle and hesitation in Tallulah's eyes.

Inside Tallulah's body, two voices were arguing fiercely. One was Tallulah's own voice, and the other was the black snake.

"I'm warning you, let her go!"

"That won't do, Tallulah. She, they, are all our enemies. Rhodes Island should help the infected, not kill them. I think anyone who betrays their fellow infected deserves death."

"You are the successor of my will, child. You don't need any companions. You only need to treat those stupid guys as your pawns and irrigate them with your anger, and they will work hard for you."

"You...let me go...don't hurt Xiaoyu..."

"Tallulah, go to sleep. Leave the rest to me. That child...she is not worthy of standing with you."

The power of the black snake was too great, and Tallulah was unable to regain control of her body, and her will was forced to fall into a deep sleep.

Feng Qingyu saw that the struggle and hesitation in Tallulah's eyes were gone, replaced by indifference and murderous intent.

Her heart skipped a beat and a horrible thought came to her mind—Tallulah was really going to kill her.

why?

The answer to this question can only be obtained by asking Tallulah herself, but I cannot ask her now.

ACE watched as the people of Rhodes Island broke through the Reunion Movement's interception and left his sight, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he could fight Tallulah without any worries, no matter what the outcome.

"Hei Yu, you are still so young, aren't you afraid of death?" ACE asked her.

"Of course I'm afraid, but what can I do? In order to protect the people and things I want to protect, this fear can be transformed into fighting power. Rhodes Island... will definitely bring hope to the infected and to this land."

She exhaled a puff of smoke and answered ACE's question with a smile.

Having been undercover for so many years, before coming to the world of Terra, she had already been walking on a tightrope, wandering in the gray area between black and white, facing countless dangers, and nearly losing her life many times.

There aren't many opportunities to die in battle honorably like this.

Tallulah... broke her oath. Feng Qingyu was very disappointed with her, and he never thought that she would even kill him.

Were all the tenderness before just a farewell to myself?

There is no point thinking about these things now. This is the result of things. This is the path I chose.

"Don't come here again!"

Feng Qingyu held up a shield in front of Tallulah and faced the rolling heat wave.

Tallulah drew the sword from her waist and drew a cross in the air. A gust of wind blew past, and Feng Qingyu's shield broke into pieces.

Then, Tallulah's blade pierced through her body.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"you……"

The white short-sleeved shirt she was wearing was quickly stained red by blood. When the hot sword blade pierced into her abdomen, it seemed to melt all her internal organs.
