I ruined Tyra.

"Forget it. We can't catch the murderer anyway."

Hedley sneered, "You want to stay in your own hotbed in Kazdel but you don't want to be manipulated by others. Sooner or later, you will end up in such a ridiculous situation."

"But the person who paid the money is gone, and this is not funny at all."

As soon as Ines finished her rebuttal, she saw Hedley's gloomy face, and a bad premonition came to her mind. However, before she could speak, Hedley continued:

“It’s just that what I’m about to say is even less ridiculous.

Our messenger evacuated Kazdel after confirming the intelligence and came into contact with some people on the way."

Having said this, he paused, as if he had not yet made a decision.

“…some, intelligence agents.

And to be precise, it was not contact, but was ‘intercepted’.”

Hearing this, Ines turned her head and glanced at the military tent where the messenger was waiting. At this moment, she had already made up her mind to kill, but she still had to confirm something first.

"So... we've been caught again?

This is not the first time, we can take the initiative."

After saying that, she took out the dagger from the shadow and was about to walk towards the military tent, but one of her hands was grabbed by a big hand.

"It looks like we have no choice this time. The courier has received an order."

Ines frowned. No one could command an army of mercenaries, not even an intermediary.

But from Hedley's frown, it could be seen that the other party was not joking.

"Orders? To us? Who? We are not slaves who just follow orders."

Hedley sighed. This was the first significant choice in his life.

"This is my judgment, please listen to me.

We need to move away from the battlefield, through a remote mountain path, possibly through a canyon."

Speaking of this, he felt mixed emotions, as if he had made some important decision.

"To protect a transport convoy."

"Transportation escort, what a classic job, it can't be that simple, right?"

Ines was puzzled as to what was being transported and why Hedley, who was usually calm and composed, was so nervous.

Hedley did not give her a clear answer this time, but lowered his head and said helplessly: "I don't know."

"what?"

Hearing Ines' incredible voice, Hedley raised his head again, looked at Ines seriously and said, "I'm sorry, but this time it's beyond my control.

But I believe this is one of the few opportunities we have.

Now we have the whole team in our hands, the situation is changing, and other people are waiting for their chances. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

After expressing his decision, Hedley pulled the still confused W from behind, pushed her in front of Ines, and said seriously: "You and W are responsible for this matter."

As if sensing Hedley's determination, Ines did not throw a tantrum this time, but said seriously: "I will put aside other questions for now."

Just as Hedley breathed a sigh of relief, Ines continued to speak.

“But, first of all, I refuse to go with W.

She's already got a lot of fame, but I don't think she's ready yet."

“She’s doing an amazing job.”

"No, Hedley, I can see things that you can't see, and I believe in my Originium skills.

A blasting expert appeared under Hedley's command, who could turn the entire battlefield into a sea of ​​fire without anyone noticing.

The other teams have been on alert, after all, the specific scope of the 'battlefield' changes every day, and maybe tomorrow will be their base camp."

Hearing this, W scratched her head a little embarrassedly when she heard her arch-enemy praising her, and said thank you for the compliment heartlessly.

Hedley and Ines ignored the currently nervous girl and continued their conversation.

"I know."

“But, she really didn’t have anything on her mind. Whether it was killing or deceiving, she was an overly ‘qualified’ mercenary. I couldn’t tell her depth.

I don't want to be attacked from all sides, and I don't think she is capable of doing the job of "bodyguard". You shouldn't use this newcomer who is attracting everyone's attention at this time.

Or do you have any other reason?"

Hedley did not answer directly, but looked in the direction of Kazdel for a long time, then looked at the mercenaries who were resting but had second thoughts because of the messenger's news and said:

"I...can only make use of everything that should be used.

As things have developed to this point, no one can stay out of it.

Mercenaries have no stance, but having no stance means having no affiliation. When the dust settles, we will all perish along with the war.

But sooner or later the war will come back, but we only have one chance to survive.

I am unwilling to let it be like this, and it shouldn't be like this, that's all.

I think we should seize every opportunity, find our place, and stop drifting with the crowd."

At this moment, tears welled up in Hedley's eyes. Only the Sarkaz people and General Hellagur, who had also suffered from the war, could understand him.

Then Hedley quickly pulled out a map of Kazdel and its surroundings from his waist bag. It was very crude, but the numerous markings showed the meticulousness and seriousness of the cartographer.

Hedley pointed out a place with his index finger. It was the junction of Kazdel and Rembit.

“That team arrived here from Rembil, and it is very likely that they were blocked after entering Kazdel’s sphere of influence.

Now many people in the camp are unwilling to accept this task, and the team will undergo a change, but it is not a big deal.

This contract is hot, but it's worth the risk, we, at least you..."

Hedley wanted to say something more, but his lips were pressed by the slender hand again. The owner of the slender hand knew that he had to interrupt him, otherwise he would continue to talk to himself.

"Wait a minute, I don't mean to question you, I just..."

At this point, Ines hesitated for a moment, as if unsure of what to say next, but she still said seriously:

"Oh, forget it, you don't have to be so nervous, I will listen to you, always.

But you have to calm down and look at your feet first."

Hearing this, Hedley looked down subconsciously, only to find that his shadow was shaking.

"Hmm, you mean my shadow? Maybe it's the wind and the flickering of the campfire."

Ines shook his head. It was obvious that the other person was shaking in fear. Maybe it was excitement? But the other person was indeed very excited.

"You know what I'm talking about. You are always like this, all Sarkaz."

Hearing this, W, who had been listening quietly, looked up at Ines with some confusion. There was a lot of confusion in his small eyes. Could it be that Ines was not a Sarkaz?

Ines ignored the confused W and continued to talk to himself:

"Don't always think so far ahead. You can't control so many things. You and I are just mercenaries."

Hedley did not refute, but bowed his head and apologized, saying: "I will pay attention."

"You asked me to take W with me, but what about you? What are you planning?"

“Only a few people have the need to know the real news and take the risk.”

However, his words ignited Ines' anger, and Ines suppressed her anger and asked calmly.

"You can't trust other teams, but you should at least trust your own people."

"I didn't hide it on purpose, I just..."

"Then tell me the truth! Tell me! Me!"

Ines gritted her teeth and spoke word by word. She was really angry.

"Who on earth did our messenger encounter?!"

Her words were met with even longer silence from Hedley.

After a long while, Hedley finally uttered the word that many people were concerned about.

"The Tower of Babel."

"They are the secret agents that Babel left in Kazdel."

Chapter 198 Born in the Night (5) Letting Go of Grudges (Two in One)

Soon, Hedley secretly gathered a group of trustworthy subordinates. As for those who have not yet gained his trust, they can only wish for the best.

Unfortunately, it was W who Hedley arranged to leave a way out for these mercenaries.

Seeing that Hedley and Ines were leaving with their men in the predetermined direction and would not pay attention to this side, W tilted his head, and his expression gradually collapsed.

She smiled and used her Originium skills to bury Originium bombs around the camp. She also put a few more Originium bombs into her backpack. These would be the last means of escape she left for the mercenaries. She had already done her best.

After she completed the layout, just as Ines said before retreating, a group of mercenaries targeted them while they were resting. At this moment, these mercenaries had secretly eliminated the sentry responsible for keeping watch and were surrounding them.

W thought about it seriously and decided that it would be better to take action first. Otherwise, if these mercenaries were killed in their sleep, it would not buy them much time.

Thinking of this, she raised her gun and pointed it in the opposite direction of herself and fired a bullet, which landed among the lurking and advancing enemies and exploded into a flower of art.

The explosions and the enemy's screams soon alarmed the mercenaries who had not rested too much. They came out in a scattered manner with weapons in hand and quickly recognized the origins of the enemy.

"These guys are from last time! How did they find this place?"

"Don't worry about it, retreat quickly!"

Looking at these scattered mercenaries who were almost undisciplined and gathered together to resist the enemy, even W was speechless. No wonder Hedley gave up on them without hesitation.

She could only appear in front of this group of mercenaries and inform them of the current situation, but her good intentions were scolded by the mercenaries.

A calm mercenary recognized her, and then realized that their leader Hedley was not here at the moment.

He questioned W, "Where are Hedley's men? Some of them are not here either. Where did they go?" He raised the communicator in his hand and called.

Seeing this calm mercenary, W showed an interested look. She blew up the communicator in the other's hand and threw the prepared backpack in front of the mercenary.

The mercenary first asked W in shock and anger why he destroyed his communicator, then grabbed someone next to him and motioned him to go up and pick up the backpack that W dropped.

W nodded in agreement, and she snapped her fingers, detonating the Originium bomb buried nearby again, blowing back the enemy mercenaries who had recovered and rushed over, then turned around and left without looking back.

At this time, the mercenary also reacted after looking at the things in the backpack.

"You! Hedley! You betrayed......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by W who had already walked away. She turned back with a sly smile and explained:

"Don't say such harsh words. We are just going on a long journey, and we have guests coming to visit us right now, so we have to leave some people behind to look after the house.

If you leave some dessert for your guests and show your hospitality, maybe they will stop pursuing you?

So, I'll just have to trouble you guys."

After hearing what W said, the mercenary also lost his composure and loudly scolded the traitor who betrayed them.

"You! You've already discovered the enemy! Did you deliberately leave us here to die?!"

"Don't be so absolute. Didn't I leave some gifts for you?

Struggle hard. The longer you struggle, the further we will go.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

After W finished speaking, this time, she turned around and left without any reluctance, leaving the mercenaries who were about to be surrounded by the enemy struggling desperately.

The spirit Hellagur, who was watching the whole process, frowned. He thought he had made a mistake. It seemed that W was not simple now.

He once again thought of the scene in the live broadcast preview where W smiled and sang countless times that he was a traitor. This time, he seemed to understand why W's personal EP was called "Renedage".

......

After a while, W caught up with the team that was waiting for her. Hedley, who was personally guarding the rear, glanced behind her and frowned after confirming that no one was following her.

"The order was to help the teams that didn't have time to escape, but... why didn't anyone else escape?"

W, who had just run for a distance, was neither red-faced nor out of breath. She just passed Hedley with a piece of grass in her mouth and explained:
