Longmen Memoirs

"I saw you, 3, 7, 22, 36 [Secret Word], [Secret Word]."

It wasn't until she heard the secret words from the inner guard that Tallulah realized what kind of enemy they were encountering this time.

"...Why are the emperor's internal guards of Ursus...here?"

"Tallulah... you shouldn't have come first, you [#{

Tallulah looked in the direction of the inner guards in disbelief. It was impossible for the empire's most elite force to appear in the snowy field for a group of infected people.

"You want to know the reason why we are here." The inner guard replied slowly: "The reason is that we are looking for you, the Duke's daughter, and we need to evaluate the current situation."

The sound of snowflakes falling to the ground is clearly audible.

What was equally clear was the look of astonishment on the faces of everyone present who heard this sentence.

The Duke's... daughter? !

Chapter 45 Let’s Die Together ([-]): The White Rabbit Who Got the Wrong Heroine’s Script

"Hoo... hiss."

"You are very strong, infected person. You can fight against three internal defenders with one person. This situation is rare even in the history of internal defenders."

"But how much longer can you hold on?"

In the forest that was destroyed by various spells and the aftermath of the battle, three internal guards stood in different directions surrounding Chen Mo and Shuangxing in the center.

They were in no rush to attack.

The inner guard lowered his eyes, and there were several small gaps visible on the scarlet scimitar.

The burning blue flame had long been extinguished, leaving behind scorched trees on the snow, ice crystals covering a small area, and Frost Star's breathing heavy and rapid.

Chen Mo could feel that the frost star behind him was reaching its limit.

This kind of high-intensity battle not only tests a person's physical fitness, but also requires an extremely tough will. Frost Star is very good, but compared with Ursus' most elite internal guards, she lacks too much after all.

Her spells cannot keep up with the speed of the inner guard, and the inner guard also has more skills and strength than her in close combat. Strictly speaking, Shuangxing is a top infected magician, but there is a universal The reason is that generally the spell-casting units in the legion or squad need the cover of heavy warriors.

Just like Shock and Grizzly in the weird team, the survivability of magicians on the battlefield is very poor. After releasing spells, they will enter a short period of exhaustion.

Moreover, without the assistance of the Origin Stone device of the Yeti team, Frost Star's spells cannot maximize their effectiveness.

To put it simply, Frost Star is a magician with very good overall abilities, but a magician is a magician after all, and the Ursus inner guards are proficient in various assassinations and methods of dealing with magicians. Their abilities themselves are very effective against magicians. As far as the magician is concerned, there is a great restraint effect.

To deal with the inner defenders, the best way is to use large-scale, high-intensity spells to directly cover the entire battlefield, or to wear heavy armor to prevent the inner defenders from attacking while outperforming the opponent in terms of strength.

Frost Star cannot do these two things.

She was aware of this herself.

As a magician, choosing to fight in close combat with the inner guards is undoubtedly the stupidest behavior.

The black mist that spreads on the battlefield will quickly corrupt any object it touches, including ice crystals. The scarlet scimitar in the hands of the inner guard also has the same power attached to it.

This also meant that Frost Star had to use ice crystals constructed with spells to block the invasion of the black mist, and at the same time, he had to avoid the attack of the scimitars in the hands of the inner guards and counterattack.

The prerequisite is that the internal defender's combat skills and reactions must be better than his own.

This kind of battle is too much for her, and the cooperation with Chen Mo is not so much cooperation as Chen Mo is accommodating her. If the Origin Stone device is arranged in advance, Shuangxing is sure to use spells to instantly cover a large area under her feet. , even if it cannot cause effective damage to the internal defender, it can at least get a chance to escape the current predicament.

But there are no ifs. The reality is that she can't do it now alone, and Shuangxing can feel that her physical condition is declining. The excessive burst of spells has brought an extremely heavy load to the body. Her consciousness is gradually fading, and her body The infected lesions began to sting faintly.

This reminded her that if she continued to use spells, the Originium Disease might break out in advance.

"I can hold on until you die here."

Chen Mo said.

He knew that the inner defenders were stalling for time by not rushing to attack. The longer the delay, the more beneficial it would be for the inner defenders, but Frost Star also needed to take a breather.

"There's no point in a verbal fight, infected."

"Put down your weapons, Carters can live. If you continue to fight, you will all die." The inner guard said, "You may indeed kill one of us, but both of you will die here."

"Shut up, who do you think you can fool!" Shuangxing suddenly shouted.

"Huh... Carters, the inner guard had countless opportunities to kill you, but we didn't do it. You should be very clear about the reason." The inner guard looked at Frost Star.

Shuangxing looked gloomy and did not answer. Of course she knew and why the inner guard did not kill her immediately, although these words still made her feel aggrieved and angry.

"As long as you are alive, we have countless ways to contain him."

"……shameful!"

"Shameful? No, any method of treating the enemy cannot be called shameful. No one will be fair to you on the battlefield, Carters. Only those who survive are qualified to talk about it." The inner guard shook his head slightly: "Of course you have another Choose, commit suicide now, the internal guards cannot stop you, and the people around you can survive."

"..."

"You can also choose to kill her, the infected person." The inner guard focused on Chen Mo: "Without him, you still have a chance to repel us."

"Carters, since you don't believe the inner guard's promise, will you trust the infected person next to you?" the inner guard asked calmly: "If he puts down his weapon, you and her may die, but he will kill you, or If you die, he will have a chance to survive. If you delay it any longer, your chances of survival will only get smaller and smaller. What do you think he will do?"

"What would you do?"

The inner guard's words were so clear that they seemed to ring directly in their ears.

Shuangxing had to admit that maybe the inner guard was right. Without him, Chen's chance of surviving would be much greater. The three enemies in front of him were not at the same level as the ones they had encountered before.

In the battle just now, not one of them was even injured, but he was almost at his limit.

"Don't let him provoke you."

Chen Mo seemed to have guessed Shuangxing's thoughts, and he whispered to Shuangxing behind him.

"I know, Chen...but he is right. If we continue to delay, none of us will be able to leave."

Shuangxing didn't look back, she replied in a low voice, Carters' white hair fluttered slightly in the cold wind, she tightened her grip on the military thorn in her hand, and the staff hanging down in her right hand.

"I...my spell can give you a chance, so...ha, if I fail to go back, ask for..."

"I said, none of us will die."

"...Chen, you have to make a choice. I have been prepared for it." Shuangxing said softly: "Tallulah has a very good ideal. The day I decided to embark on this road with her, I had With this kind of preparation, I would rather die in battle with the enemy than die of illness in bed."

"Listen, Frost Star, I'm only going to say this once, I... won't allow you to die here!"

Chen Mo said, his voice was so cold and decisive, leaving no room for doubt, even if his hair had turned gray, even if the scales attached to his body were gradually fading away, even if the pain and torture in his body was about to cause his body to collapse.

Chen Mo never thought that one day he would say such things to a Custer girl whom he had known for a short time.

He never thought that one day he would be dragged down and have a way to break the situation, but he would not choose to do it.

Froststar volunteered.

Of course she volunteered, and Chen Mo would not feel any guilt about it. After all, there were too many people in the world, and he could not save everyone.

But Chen Mo was still unwilling.

Although he is so selfish, although this kind of thing has been commonplace for a long time, even though all the pros and cons he has done in the past are just to avoid this kind of thing from happening.

If you don't involve them too much, there will naturally be no hesitation.

He couldn't convince himself.

He couldn't convince himself that he would have to face the same choice after coming to the snowfield, and he couldn't convince himself that he was unable to fight against fate.

He couldn't convince himself how to mention this to Tallulah when he returned to the camp, telling her that he abandoned Frost Star Gou and survived, even if he killed the three inner guards.

But once a person dies, he can never come back to life.

Any calculation, scheming, or city government seems so pale and feeble when strength is really needed. The appearance of the emperor's internal guards caught people off guard, but they happened to appear when Chen Mo was at his weakest.

The reality is not like in the story, where a sudden counterattack occurs at a critical moment. There are always some things in this world that cannot be easily solved by saying a few nice words.

Most of the people who can do this are protagonists. Unfortunately, no one is the protagonist in reality, and the world in reality does not revolve around just one person.

"Run away. I'll cover you. Run towards the camp. No matter what happens, don't look back." Chen Mo lowered his voice and said, "No one will catch up with you."

"Do I look deceptive?"

Frost Star's gray eyes glanced behind her slightly, and she raised the corners of her mouth.

"On weekdays, Yang Ge always talks to me about the abilities of your snow monsters, saying that they are not slow on the snow. I have never really seen it."

"I'm not interested in performing for other people."

"This is the most feasible way at present. You can't hold them back, but I can. They will definitely not let you leave easily, so this is actually very dangerous. As long as they put their target on you, they will be restrained by me. Once they allocate their manpower to chase you, the situation can be reversed." Chen Mo said: "This is not called escape, this is called strategic transfer."

"But I can't trust you, Chen." Shuangxing said, "What if they do it together? What if they focus on me? I'm not afraid of death, but your situation will definitely become more dangerous. How are you going to stop them at the same time?" Three people? You’re sure they won’t take this opportunity to seriously hurt you.”

"I'm not that stupid!" Shuangxing said, and she didn't look back: "I don't want to die here, but I can't leave you and run away. Even if I survive, I will definitely not be able to face the tower again. Lula, face yourself."

"I won't die that easily, I can guarantee that."

"I don't need your guarantee." Shuangxing clenched the weapon in his hand: "Whether I live or die, I won't leave. At worst, we will die here together. I will never run away! Never!"

This girl is more stubborn than expected. Maybe she has always been like this, but Chen Mo didn't realize it. Speaking of which, his understanding of Shuangxing is far from that deep.

He and Shuangxing can barely be considered friends. In Chen Mo's eyes, Shuangxing is an upright person, otherwise he wouldn't know that he deliberately let the escaped infected people go and sit back and watch them fall into a desperate situation so that they could be forced to accept his opinion. Showed hostility.

But she also attaches great importance to her teammates and her friends. Between individuals and relatives, she chooses the latter. Among the snow monsters, Frost Star has always had a good reputation, and the snow monsters have a high regard for her. admiration and dependence, or in other words, she is the relative of the snow monsters, their brother and sister, their captain and eldest sister.

She climbed up from the bones and the cold wind, gave up her own name, gave up her emotions, and was willing to live for others and become the person they hoped for in their eyes.

Maybe she is not a cold person. A cold person will not consider other people's emotions. On the contrary, she has a heart that is more passionate than anyone else. But it is really because of this passion that she has to use her cold appearance. To cover up her true self, she lives in the eyes of others, living above the responsibility she has found for herself, as the captain of the Yeti, as the daughter of a patriot, and as an infected person with nothing.

She has and only what she has now, relatives and friends.

She felt the weight on her shoulders and the expectations from her father. Perhaps because of this, she lost the liveliness, youthfulness and excitement that a girl should have.

She inevitably still has some naivety and expectations, which prove that she is still young and has not been completely bent by this suffering land.

"To be honest, it's kind of stupid."

Chen Mo said suddenly, Shuangxing failed to see the helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was so stupid to risk his life for an unrelated person, it was hopelessly stupid, but Chen Mo couldn't deny the inexplicable warmth that flowed in his heart because of this answer.

That strange feeling that cannot be described in any words.

He turned around and grabbed Carters' shoulders.

"Grit your teeth!"

The blue flames violently erupted in a ring, blocking the three inner guards who wanted to attack. Before Shuangxing could refuse, everything around him was retreating rapidly, and the battlefield became clearer and farther away in his sight.

She could even see three inner guards rushing towards Chen Mo from three different directions in the midst of the flames.

The ring-shaped wall of fire failed to stop the inner guards, but they also failed to prevent Frost Star from evacuating the battlefield. They were too far away, and even catching up at this time would have no effect.

The flames extinguished, and the earth burned by the high temperature appeared scorched black, and scalding heat rose.

The black scales finally slowly faded away, and the sharp claws holding the sword hilt also faded into arms.

He picked up the spurs left by Carters, pulled open the collar of his inner vest and grinned, looking at the three rapidly approaching guards and the scimitars in their hands with a ferocious smile.

"Come on, let's start round two!"

in the snow.

Monsters and monsters once again started a fierce and ferocious fight. Only the sound of steel clashing between swords and the boiling blood flowing through the veins dispersed and melted the cold of this winter.

Chen Mo let go of all the restraints and shackles. The trapped beast in his heart was roaring crazily. The voice that had been bothering him for countless days and nights after Kazdel finally quieted down at this moment.

Their anger at being betrayed, they are helpless [-=

He endured those sins, and the overwhelming pain of digging out his bones and heart engulfed his body.

He knew that he had never been a very kind and good person.

Never.

Chapter 46 Live and die together ([-]): Power leveling is prohibited

Frost Star flew over the woods and landed in the thick snow in the mountains.

The soft snow took away most of the force, and she rolled heavily on the snow several times.

The battlefield is far away.

She climbed up from the ground in embarrassment and looked in the direction of the battlefield.
