The Devil Inside

Let's use the first generation of heroes to make the "Empire Vanguard" who have become a withered skeleton at home great again!

Lorenzo explained the situation.

Throughout the whole process, Marinasgu remained calm. He had no popularity at all, and it seemed that there was no trace of surprise on the mask, as if he did not understand the significance of this matter.

Isabella looked at him and thought that he had not changed at all.

For this person·—

Isabella couldn't say whether she liked or hated him. It might sound ridiculous to say so. When she first faced this person, Isabella was actually a little afraid.

No one can guess what he is thinking, and no one can figure out his position.

Marinus's temperament is unpredictable and he changes his mind as if turning over a book. It is difficult to accurately describe his character. In Isabella's opinion,

He is chaos.

Nothing he does is surprising, and it is reasonable for him to do nothing. He is unobservable and undefinable.

"Is that so? This is incredible."

As always, Marinus spoke ambiguously.

He looked at Isabella and asked, "So, Captain, you want to take this opportunity to return to the top? This is a good choice. The support of the first generation of heroes is very meaningful."

Lorenzo turned his head and waited for Isabella to speak.

Even though ten years have passed.

But in his heart, Isabella was still his superior. She was the only one who could make the decision here.

Facing Lorenzo's gaze, Isabella sighed softly.

She shook her head, her amber eyes full of fatigue: "In my opinion, the era of the Empire's vanguard is over. You can make up your own mind."

Marinas still had a fake smile on his face. He leaned on his cane with both hands and said calmly, "What do you mean? Captain, if you want to return to the center of power in the kingdom, there is no better opportunity than now.

You gave up an entire forest."

Lorenzo said, "Captain, ten years ago, the Imperial Vanguard was in turmoil and the morale of the people was low. I saw you running around trying to maintain the last dignity of this ancient organization. As for your feelings towards the Imperial Vanguard,

No one is deeper than you! Now there is a chance to revive, why did you——————-give it up? "

Give up?

Isabella smiled slightly. She didn't give up, she just wasn't chosen.

Elzlia has been established for more than 300 years and is the most powerful country on the Zelmon continent. However, friends who are familiar with history know that when a dynasty develops to this stage, it must have a lot of problems.

The classes have long been solidified, with a very small number of people controlling most of the wealth.

The rentier class is deeply rooted, with tentacles everywhere, and it is so complicated that it is like a mountain of shit code that will give you an epileptic seizure at the first glance.

The first king of Erzlia had a unique vision.

He used the original church, which was known for its extremism at the time, to suppress other factions, which indeed stabilized the turbulent situation.

Created a flourishing world.

But mortals are just mortals, and they cannot touch the threshold of myth. Even if they constantly replace precious seals that can extend their lifespan, they are ultimately limited. After the death of the first king, the original church that entrenched itself in the kingdom to absorb nutrients patiently and unrestrainedly expanded.

Until it devours everything else.

The Imperial Vanguard was not the first victim, nor the last.

The vanguards are absolutely loyal to the king and shoulder the glorious mission of defending the royal power.

After exhausting all possible means to prevent the disbanding of the "Imperial Vanguard", Isabella was desperate and sad, and could not get out of the shadow of failure for a long time.

Staying out of it will help you to have a more comprehensive perspective when reviewing the situation.

After a long period of settling down, the passionate emotions were extinguished, and at a sunny noon, Isabella felt relieved?

The "Imperial Vanguard" was betrayed.

Betrayed by the king it served.

The royal family abolished the "Imperial Vanguard", and in exchange, the "Headquarters" would assign personnel to take over the duties of the Vanguard. This separate team would be under the royal family's dispatch.

In Isabella's opinion, this was totally unacceptable as the conditions between the two parties were completely unequal.

How can the loyalty of the special operations team, which was split from the headquarters, be guaranteed? On the surface, they accept the king's instructions, but when the critical moment comes, will their position change?

But to others, it's a natural thing.

The "Witch Hunting Agency" is well-known and is synonymous with top masters.

The three-star combat specialist at the headquarters is already a figure who can stir up the situation of a country;

A five-star combat specialist who claims to be able to confront the mysterious beings in the virtual world head-on, he is a legend walking on earth.

On the other hand, the "Imperial Vanguard"

After decades of continuous decline, there was a lack of successors, and a large amount of talent and resources were lost. The last captain, Isabella, was not as powerful as her predecessors. At only level 20, it was doubtful whether she could defeat the water dispenser players at the headquarters.

Before the group disbanded, a promising young man named Lorenzo emerged.

Unfortunately, it didn’t grow up.

I don't know what I did wrong, but I was directly transferred to an abandoned base in Zesilia as a lone commander. The treatment is not much different from that of a roadside resident. I have no future.

Under such circumstances, it seemed to everyone else that it was only a matter of time before the Imperial Vanguard was replaced by the headquarters.

Everything was so natural, just like birth, aging, sickness and death. On the day when the empire's vanguard was disintegrated, even ordinary people accepted it calmly.

"It's not easy to persist until now."

Everyone thinks so.

"For me, everything is over."

Isabella smiled, quietly and sadly.

She looked at the two people in front of her and said, "Whatever you want to do, then do it. I just want to do my best to be Leila's teammate and realize my talents in another field."

"what are you saying?"

Lorenzo spread his hands, seeming unable to accept it.

After entering the secret port, his spirits have been high.

Just when I thought the hard work had paid off, the originally invincible Original Church showed its health bar. This should have been the best time to counterattack!

Catch the first generation hero and have a chance to defeat your opponent!

He could also feel that Isabella was excited, but why did she give up now?

Lorenzo forced a laugh and said, "Captain, are you confused? Now is the time to fight for it with all your strength!

"Confused? Maybe. But more likely, I'm just tired."

Isabella leaned against the wooden table with her arms folded.

She looked at Marinus and said, "Perhaps Marinus understands this principle."

Marinus was silent.

For the first time in her life, Isabella saw anger on his face.

This surprised Isabella.

"Is it an acting?" Isabella thought to herself, "Marinas, this man who is as silent as iron and as dark as darkness, how could he show his emotions? This should be a performance. Marinas is putting pressure on me."

"Maybe I understand? Sir, I don't understand. You should be the most determined one."

Marinus spoke.

The voice trembled slightly, carrying a burning anger.

He looked at Isabella with a sinister look in his eyes: "After so many years, I have never forgotten those desperate scenes. I was captured by the Heresy Bureau of the Original Church. They wanted to pry the secrets out of me so as to disintegrate the Imperial Vanguard. You know, once the actions I led were made public and the evidence was obtained, the organization would have been destroyed long ago!

"But I didn't reveal anything, even though I was treated inhumanely—"

It was at that time that his lunula was dug out, blood gushing out.

Marinus stared at Isabella and said, "Now that you finally have a chance for revenge, are you going to give it up? Are you still a 'Captain of the Vanguard'?"

Can't tell.

I really can't tell the difference.

Isabella looked at him and smiled. "I'm sorry, Marinas. I wonder if you are acting now? Your hatred is so strong and your words are so hurtful that even I feel ashamed. If this is acting, it's really excellent."

"You are disappointing, Lady Isabella."

Marinus refused to call her Captain anymore.

His face returned to calm, like a pool of stagnant water, and he advised: “Sir Lorenzo, this is a serious matter.

If Lady Isabella does not wish to participate, please ask her to leave! This must be done in secrecy, and our countermeasures cannot be known to "outsiders."

Chapter 176 #175 Marrying the Wrong Man

Isabella was very self-aware and she knew that her remarks must have irritated Lorenzo and Marinus.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

But she doesn't think she's wrong.

Lorenzo and Marinus didn't understand that even if they succeeded, the returning "Imperial Vanguard" would no longer be the same.

Like nails driven into a board.

Even if you pull it out, the hole will not disappear.

Administrator's room.

Han Solo and the others were waiting idly when they suddenly heard clear and rhythmic footsteps. Isabella opened the door and walked in alone.

She said with a rather sophisticated smile, "This is really - I didn't expect that I would run into such an incident by chance. I am at a loss as to what to do."

Han Solo was a little surprised, but some surprises were unlikely. Isabella appeared now, obviously choosing the audition and giving up the first generation.

In the game, she also did not participate in the escort.

He asked, "Captain, have you finished the discussion so quickly? I thought we would have to wait here for most of the day."

Isabella smiled and said, "I am not very interested in the affairs of the first generation. This matter is currently being handled by Lorenzo and another vanguard cadre. Once they have discussed a strategy, they will inform you."

"Is it?"

Han Solo looked at her. "I thought you would give up everything else and focus on this."

"I am an outcast, and my feelings towards the royal family of Elzlia are not that strong anymore. Now, I would rather become a teammate of Lady Leila. I am passionate about the cause of justice."

"..——When you say that, I feel so stressed."

Leila squinted her eyes, thinking she was being pressured.

What are you doing?

In this case, if she said no, wouldn't it seem that she was heartless and ungrateful?

During the previous casual chat, Han Solo took the opportunity to ask others for their opinions.

Including Viola, everyone had a good impression of Isabella. They thought that after the first generation of Coffin Lemon appeared, Isabella would give up the auditions and focus on "big things". Rachel thought it was a pity.

Han Solo stopped pretending: "You are such a big shot, Rachel and I will definitely welcome you. With the captain of the Imperial Vanguard in the team, isn't that invincible?"

"I hope I can live up to your appreciation."

Isabella acted very confident.

She found a chair, sat down and started chatting. As a former sergeant and a big shot in the capital of the kingdom, she always went to high-end places, so her social skills were guaranteed.

In just a moment, she started chatting with Viola and Rachel, who were also from noble families.

the other side.

Han Solo and Leila, two civilians, sat aside and listened, and Leila was already drowsy.

"Mr. Han."

About a quarter of an hour later, a tumor walked in.
