I ruined Tyra.

W became alert. Did she let something slip?

"Why do you ask?"

“I have seen your contact with the courier, and you have been investigating the whereabouts of the Rhode Island.

This pharmaceutical company was thought to be only slightly involved in the war.

Now it seems that it is not that simple at all.

Especially Scout and...”

Speaking of this, Hedley thought of his old friend who was executed by his own hands, and the warrior whose fire remained standing.

But he didn't let these affect him and continued to say what he wanted to say.

"We are responsible for other battlefields in the blocking battle of Chernobog, according to your plan."

W was a little confused as to why the other party suddenly brought up this.

"Yes, you all did a great job."

However, what W didn't expect was that Hedley had a big move in mind.

"But someone saw him, the evil spirit of Babel. You chose to go find her yourself, and then let her go."

W's pupils trembled violently. She thought she had covered up her actions well enough. How did Hedley know about this? Who else knew about this? Would the time limit she had originally reserved be insufficient?

"In the past, I would have seen this as a sign of distrust.

But now, alas~ you don’t plan to keep it secret for long anyway.”

W also sighed, sometimes it is really difficult to hide something.

"Ah~ Is there any need to hide this kind of thing?

As long as there are two head-on fights, those who were at least famous on the battlefield in the past will naturally recognize who the other party is.

After all, those people are still living honestly, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Hedley raised his eyebrows again. Did he hear some important news from W's words? The core members of Babel Tower were saved? What was Rhodes Island actually?

Hedley, who suddenly understood what W meant, also became confused.

"So what are you going to do? A conflict with them was totally unexpected.

If Kal'tsit is still in charge of this pharmaceutical company in Rhodes Island, maybe it will be a breakthrough?"

W became even more annoyed when he heard the old woman's name, Kal'tsit.

"No! What do you think my purpose is?"

Hedley fell silent again, and began to sort out the information he had in his mind, and then came to a truth that he could not believe.

Finally, he could only speak in silence: "I understand."

After knowing that the other party understood what he meant, W prepared to implement the next plan.

"You have to help me accomplish this, as we agreed last time.

Dishonored mercenaries are equal in value to dead mercenaries, and I don't mind giving them a little extra processing."

After understanding W's undisguised hint, Hedley shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't help.

"Inès can't do it anymore, and next, I have to leave too."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, W became confused. She had never heard of any reason why Hedley wanted to leave.

"I've never heard of this. Where to go?"

"I will go back to Victoria with the courier. It's a three or four month journey. We will set out before sunrise tomorrow morning."

W was confused. Back to Victoria? Seriously?

"Are you in a hurry to commit suicide with Inès? With your status, are you going to Londinium with the crime of dereliction of duty?

It might be better for you to escape back to Kazdel."

Hedley sighed. There was still too little time for W to learn how to analyze the situation from a big picture perspective.

“You killed Garson and reorganized the mercenaries. Someone must report this to the Regent.

If none of us go back to report, he will treat all of us as abandoned pawns.

Or, throw us into the next battlefield, one that is within his reach.

At that time, there is really nowhere to escape."

W was completely confused now. There seemed to be no reason for Hedley, a man who was always afraid of death, to do this?

"You risked your life to cover for me? Why would you do that?"

Faced with this question, Hedley just silently took out a worn badge from his clothes and showed it to W.

“Theresa... remembers my name and my family.

But now His Highness is gone, but there is still something left in this terrible team."

W widened his eyes. He didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also a die-hard fan of His Highness?

"Why didn't I notice?"

"Well... no matter how twisted the methods and personalities of some Sarkaz are, judging from the results, they are still fighting for that unrealistic idea."

"Do you really know what you are talking about?"

Facing W's question, Hedley just reminded her.

"We've known each other a long time, W. That's all."

W understood what he meant. It was nothing more than that they had known each other for such a long time, but she didn't know that Hedley was actually one of their own. Then how could she know how much he had done?

Since he is one of her own, W feels that she needs to give him a good reminder.

"Then out of courtesy, I will kindly remind you.

Now is your best chance to escape from Kazdel. Leave here, bypass Longmen and Ursus, and go somewhere farther. I can turn a blind eye.

But...if you go back, you might die."

Hedley smiled with relief again. His rebellious daughter had learned to care about her old father.

"Oh, you just said that I must help you do this."

W turned his face away again and said proudly:

"If the only way you can help me is to die, I suggest you keep your life.

At least when it's time to ask for it, I still have something to pay for it."

Hedley shook his head. If he was not sure, how could he go back to Victoria so easily?

“It may not be a suicide mission. Depending on the attitude of the Regent, things could go in many different directions.

The matter of the Reunion is being manipulated by something far beyond your and my imagination, and the Regent may change his mind.

What's more, now... I have no way out."

Speaking of this, Hedley looked miserable. He had retreated several times.

He originally thought he could protect himself, but when he started over again, he found that he was deeply involved and couldn't even leave a way out for himself.

"Leaving Kazdel, and then leaving here, what's the point? Mr. Patriot has taught me enough."

Perhaps thinking of what happened to the Patriot, W understood Hedley's meaning at this moment.

"You've been influenced a lot by him in such a short time."

Hedley asked back: "In such a short time, you have also been greatly influenced by Theresa, isn't it the same thing?"

Then he seemed to have made some kind of resolution, and said resolutely: "Tracy is in a high position, even if I can only kneel on the floor reflected by black iron, I will reach his throne and try to figure out his thoughts.

Otherwise, if we continue to act recklessly like this, we will only end up dying."

"You can also surrender."

"I did think so. But you have to know that Garson has always suspected you. He ordered me to kill you."

Hearing this unexpected news, W slowly typed a question mark. Let Hedley kill his teammates? Was Garson kicked in the head by a beast of burden?

"Hmm? It might be more interesting if you listened to him."

"I'm sorry, but most of the things you find interesting are not interesting to me.

Now, decide.”

Hedley's hand had moved from the hilt to the handle without him noticing. If W disagreed, then he would have no choice but to take action.

W also noticed this detail. She would love for someone to cause trouble for Tracy, but she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

“Well…I’m also curious about what tricks Tracy is playing.

But it seems I don’t have much choice.”

Hedley released his hand.

"That's right. Even if you reject my proposal, I don't intend to let you continue to control everything."

The two negotiated for a while, and after confirming the details they were going to do, Hedley stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving Chernobog, he still had one more thing to do.

Soon, he found the Reunion Movement team leader who was drinking.

"Hmm? It's you? Sarkaz mercenary, Hedley.

I heard you were leaving here, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Seeing the captain who didn't take him seriously at all, Hedley had already put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

"Before I go, there are a few things I want to confirm."

Having said this, Hedley looked around at the people in front of him.

"Did any of you see Inès die in battle?"

The team leader had already thought of a reason.

"No, the battle was over when we received the signal requesting support."

"The streets were destroyed on a large scale, and the Originium left by the natural disaster was exposed on the surface, causing a violent chain reaction. It was resolved at the cost of only a few people—"

Before he could finish his words, Hedley moved and killed all his companions with a few slashes.

"What have you done! I thought you were smarter than W!"

"Just to do it myself. After all, I am also a Sarkaz, a real deal."

Chapter 209 Born in the Night (16) Ending

After killing the Reunion team leader, Hedley left Chernobog and hurriedly arrived at Victoria Londinium.

However, what he didn't expect was that someone was already waiting for him at the entrance of Londinium's mobile city.

Seeing Hedley and his messenger appear, the person waiting at the entrance waved him over.

Hedley looked at the Sarkaz general in front of him in confusion. Did something happen? Was he worthy of being waited for by a Sarkaz city defense general?

"The Pardon Master ordered Hedley and his subordinates to report the specific situation of Chernobog to him as soon as they arrived in Lentinium."

Manfred read out the order and then made way for a passage where a Sarkaz guard was already waiting and gestured for him to come in.

The messenger looked at Hedley uneasily, seeking his advice.

Hedley showed no fear. After thanking Manfred for his hospitality, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to follow him and the guards to meet the Pardoner.

Along the way, Hedley and the spirit Hellagur who followed him saw the tower that was under construction, the well-trained Sarkaz army patrolling the streets, and the residents of Londinium dared not speak out.

Sometimes, not only Hedley, but even Herag couldn't understand why a country would invite troops from other countries to station in its capital.

Especially since this country is one of the most powerful countries in Terra, this is really too ridiculous.

But what they were more concerned about was the tower that was being built by Tresis. It soared into the sky. The workers of Londinium were building this tower under the supervision of the Sarkaz army.

"It's incredible. What on earth did the Regent build this tower for?"

The messenger looked up at the tower and exclaimed.
