Longmen Memoirs

She obviously had sharp words when she was arguing with W, but at this moment she was like a child, not knowing what to say. Fortunately, she didn't have to say anything.

Because she saw both of them turning their heads and looking in the other direction at the same time.

Someone was walking over there. It was a man's figure, but his appearance couldn't be seen clearly. Ines didn't see clearly until he walked in.

He was holding a bloody sword in one hand and a bloody head in the other. Dense black shadows appeared behind him. Those Sakaz who tried to evacuate were wrapped in these black shadows and had their weapons confiscated. They experienced After a small encounter, it seemed that he had been taught a terrible lesson. The mercenary who had threatened the two of them not long ago with a arrogant tone was now kneeling on the ground in fear, staring at the man in his hand. head.

A dignified middle-aged man.

He threw his head on the ground, and the executioners behind him raised their long knives, and blood spattered everywhere. The man was lucky, because these people were not cruel enough to chop his body into pieces.

Ines subconsciously wanted to use magic to detect, but the man just glanced at her and his cold eyes made her give up this plan.

She heard His Highness sigh softly.

The black shadow behind him gradually receded.

"I let three go, and they will take what happened here to the west."

He put away his sword, walked over, and stood a few meters in front of His Highness. Theresia looked at the blood stains on his body and the body on the ground not far away, but she said nothing.

He said he only let three go, so there would only be three, no more, no less.

There seemed to be some sadness in His Highness's eyes, and Ines didn't understand where this sadness came from.

"Liting will continue to eliminate the remaining enemies. Before coming, I have ensured the safety of the transportation troops and ships. This war is over and we have won."

What he said was completely opposite to what Sakaz said before. Ines suddenly understood something, but she didn't dare to think about the answer. She just remembered Hedley's words a few days ago.

He said that he met the leader of Liting. They fought a few moves, but the other party spared his life but destroyed his will to fight. He suddenly felt a little empathetic. Even without using magic, he could understand what the person in front of him was like. How terrible it is.

Monsters can only be killed by stronger monsters.

His Highness still didn't answer.

He seemed to understand something.

"Will you regret it... Theresa?"

Ines saw His Highness shaking his head slightly.

She said: "Let's go back, Mr. Chen Mo."

She wanted to save more people, but more people died because of this.

The war was over, an encounter that lasted several days sealed its end with the death of an unknown general in Kazdare and the corpses of countless mercenaries.

The Tower of Babel officially announced its presence in Kazdare and demonstrated its might.

This is just a small episode before the war begins.

Ines looked at W who was unconscious and being carried by a man with some envy. She suddenly thought in a bad way, if W woke up and knew that she was being carried by such a guy, she didn't know how her sinister mouth could survive. Say something more.

She could only think so.

Suddenly there was drizzle in the sky.

The rainwater flows into the gray abandoned city and falls on the weeds that are struggling to grow in the gaps.

The smell of blood is fading.

She survived, once again...but felt more confused than ever.

Chapter 10 This is a different path

[One day your power will be overwhelming, but in the end it will be the king who will benefit. The word "love" can be said lightly. 】

Ines watched the man stop in front of the ship.

A group of Babel personnel were waiting not far away. They were crowded under the huge land carrier. W was picked up by someone, but he was still unconscious.

The man didn't follow. His Highness looked back at him. He just nodded slightly. The white-haired woman beside him didn't say a word, but her eyes were still looking in that direction.

Ines suddenly felt that the man seemed to be incompatible with the Tower of Babel in front of her. Even though he was standing here now, the Tower of Babel didn't seem to have the intention to accept him, or... he had never thought of setting foot in it.

Ines shook her head.

She told herself not to think about these irrelevant things. This was not something she, a mercenary with an uncertain future, could worry about. It was better to think more about how Babel would deal with them in the future.

She didn't see Hedley.

Ines suddenly missed Hedley a little bit. At least if this man was around, she wouldn't be as helpless as she is now.

"He was injured, not seriously, and he covered it up very well."

His Highness turned around, and Ines suddenly heard the woman beside her speak in a low voice.

His Highness snorted softly, as if he had known it for a long time.

Ines was stunned. She didn't see that the person who made his hands and feet feel cold was seriously injured.

"...If you tell him that you are disappointed with his behavior, he will probably be very happy." Kelsey hesitated and said.

"Maybe, but I won't say that." His Highness replied softly. He raised his head and looked at the huge land speeder in front of him, and the eyes in front of the ship that were watching him.

"I will not become the kind of person Mr. Chen Mo wants me to be..."

"Oh, but you can't... you have to face it sooner or later."

"Then it'll be later." Theresa smiled and seemed unwilling to talk about this topic: "I haven't asked about what happened in Longmen. After Chen Mo came back, I seemed to have a different feeling. ."

"You can ask him yourself."

"If he is willing to mention it to me...anyway...it must be something bad. I haven't heard him mention anything about Longmen and the past."

Ines tried not to listen to the conversation between the two, but she still couldn't help but want to think about these secrets. However, the mercenary was very measured and kept quiet. As for the cold look of the white-haired woman, The gaze made it impossible for her to ignore it even if she wanted to.

She lowered her head slightly, silently remembering the name in their words, watching W being picked up by the medical staff from the Tower of Babel, and followed their pace.

Theresia and Kelsey did not hold back Ines's departure.

"You know, Theresia, some things have to be done by someone." Kelsey said, "Didn't you already do it..."

She pursed her lips and did not finish the rest of her words.

"I understand what you mean, don't worry, when it comes time to make a choice, I won't hesitate." Theresa gently clenched her hand.

The life and death of the Tower of Babel and many people are now implicated in her decision to take that step. She knows how to make her choice, and it is also the best choice.

"That's good."

Kelsey nodded, her eyes falling on her clenched hands.

But there will still be guilt and regret, Theresia, because you are such a person, but after all, you were born like this, and you are destined not to be ordinary and stable.

------

Mud Rock has taken off his heavy armor.

In the station not far from the land cruiser, the door of the makeshift command post was tightly closed.

The armor was removed, and she was carefully bandaging the wounds on Chen Mo's body who was sitting in front of her. The lights in the courtyard were brightly lit, and the blood and murder could not be concealed.

Compared with the occasional warmth and joy at the Tower of Babel, this place is obviously more like a cruel military camp, and it is indeed a cruel military camp. At least those who come from the Tower of Babel, when they see these people When someone can be called a colleague, there is also a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Your Highness has gone back?" Chen Mo asked.

"gone back."

Niyan answered, wrapping her arms around Chen Mo's side, where the black crystals of the Origin Stone were clearly visible. She did not show any abnormality, so much as disgust and fear, and the hideous scars covering her body were worse than any Sasha that Niyan had ever seen. Kaz is even denser.

Mercenaries are naturally associated with scars. No mercenary can maintain clean skin after years of fighting, but it is far worse than the person in front of him.

This was not the first time she had done something like this. The army doctor only came once. Later, she took care of all these things in the camp. It was never a good thing for her subordinates to see their general seriously injured.

A general should always be wise, powerful, and omnipotent, so that the people under his command can be confident. This is what he said personally. I wonder if it is a unique idea of ​​​​Yanguo people.

Ni Yan thought, who can be really wise, powerful, and omnipotent, but his injured appearance was not seen by anyone.

"A group of them escaped, and Hogg led his men to chase them."

"Well..." Chen Mo closed his eyes and opened them gently after a few seconds: "Tell him there is no need to keep him alive."

"it is good."

"Where are Hedley and his mercenaries now?"

"The escort is with the ship. They are returning to the camp with the Tower of Babel."

"This bait is worth throwing out." Chen Mo said softly: "...But compared with the army in the west, our people's combat effectiveness is still much lower. Many people have died in the past few years, but they can barely be called The last time we heard the elite, from now on... maybe more people will die."

Mudstone didn't answer.

From the moment they decided to come to Liting, the people in this camp have not considered life and death. It's just that they don't think about it, and some people have to think about it.

"So, sir, you're going to leave the escort and act alone?" There was visible complaint in Miss Sakaz's tone, and her red eyes stared directly into Chen Mo's eyes.

Under the dim light, blood stains oozed from the bandages. There was a faint smell of blood in the room, and the mudstone's fingers were inevitably stained with a few wisps of dim red.

"It's always good to save a few lives."

Perhaps the gaze of those eyes was too sharp, so Chen Mo looked away slightly.

"If we meet on the battlefield, two armies confront each other, set up military formations, and talk about marching and formation, I am no match for those old generals who invade the battlefield. I know this, but the Tower of Babel is not capable in this regard. There are many outstanding people, so I don’t need to worry about them.”

He said calmly: "Everything can't be perfect, and I'm not an unparalleled perfect person... But he met here and was caught in his position by me. It's his bad luck."

"That's not what you said about your injury." Ni Yan's hand became stronger.

Chen Mo grinned in pain and looked at Miss Sakaz squatting in front of him with some surprise.

"Angry?"

"I don't dare." Miss Sakaz lowered her head and said angrily.

"That's it?"

Ni Yan had a cold face and did not answer. Chen Mo laughed twice, then stopped due to his injuries, which attracted Ni Yan's dissatisfied look.

"Okay, okay, my adjutant, before the next action, I will make sure to give you a report to the head office, right?" Chen Mo discussed without sincerity, and then asked: "How many casualties did we have this time?"

"...I haven't had time to count yet."

"Probably not less. There is always a certain exchange ratio. I don't know how many of the 600 people we brought out from Grai will survive in the end."

Chen Mo sighed lightly.

"But we won't regret it, sir. Everyone here, including me... we won't regret leaving Grai, and you shouldn't feel embarrassed about it."

Niyan said that at some point, this Sakaz girl had this kind of persistence that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Ok, I know."

"Why don't you go to that ship?"

After bandaging the wound and putting on another uniform to cover the injury, Ni Yan asked again after a short moment of silence.

"not the right time yet."

Chen Mo said: "I will go, but not now. Besides... one day the people in the Tower of Babel will not like us executioners. We are not the same people, so why insist on getting together."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

He whispered: "Leave some thoughts on them, after all, it is difficult to be a good person for them."

Different paths lead to the same destination.

----------

w slowly opened his eyes.

What he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling, the smell of some kind of disinfectant lingered on the tip of his nose, and his consciousness was still drowsy.

Of course she asked the sentence that all those who survived the disaster were accustomed to say after waking up.

"here is……!"

She subconsciously wanted to look for the weapons she carried with her. Every Sarkaz mercenary held the handle of the knife tightly even when sleeping.

"On the boat."

"ferry?"
