Longmen Memoirs

"What...plan?" The infected couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you insulting!"

The shield guard roared angrily.

"Instigation also depends on the person, executioner. There is no relationship between everyone's common cause and my identity."

Tallulah spoke contemptuously.

But she couldn't be as calm as she said, and she didn't even dare to look back at the soldiers.

"The act of provocation can only be used to target trust. It is doubtful that there is a trust relationship between them."

The inner guard looked at Tallulah and spoke like a needle: "I can only assume that you believe that they will still trust you after they know your identity."

"A masked villain who secretly carries out massacres in the Ursus Empire, no one needs to judge him!"

"Your language is intense...and confident."

"If this is also in line with your arrangement, then I need to reassess the current situation."

The inner guard put the scimitar back into its sheath and he turned around.

"Farewell, but please remember that we have something in common with them. Our distrust of you is what I have in common with the people around you. Even if it is a small amount of our trust, you should use your actions to Go for it.”

"...Stop!"

Tallulah suddenly shouted, her face darkened, and the inner guard stopped and turned around.

"...You have questions, the Duke's daughter."

"You hurt my countrymen, and you know we're here."

"What..." The inner guard seemed to understand what she meant: "Did I misunderstand your expression."

"Who do you want to go back and tell?"

"call……"

The inner guard was silent for a moment.

"Which secret?"

"Fighters, we cannot let him reveal our position."

Tallulah said to the shield guards and infected warriors behind her.

"Tallulah, are you confident...that you can defeat the inner guard?" the shield guard beside him asked in a low voice.

"If we don't do this, we will only lose more... The pickets and even the imperial soldiers coming one after another will only cause us more heavy losses! It will take time for the emperor's internal guards to respond to our actions. Only rapid control With the enemy in front of us, we can choose between retreating and going deeper. If we want to have a choice, we must make an immediate decision!"

"And, although we should be careful, we have no reason to fear him. He is simply the agent of terror, and terror is vulnerable to anger at injustice."

"...Yes! The guerrillas have no reason to be afraid of these imperial killers." The shield guard clenched the iron shield in his hand. He really didn't have any confidence, so his voice was much louder, as if to tell other comrades: "Be shy. Is it still the shield and gun of the infected if they are shrunk? No matter how much one person is, he is no match for us united, he is just an executioner!"

Likewise, the inner guard heard his answer.

The inner guard watched them regroup.

"A person...is not."

He suddenly spoke calmly and looked behind the shield guards: "There is another one behind you."

This sentence seemed to be deliberately spoken to the shield guards who had just regrouped.

The shield guards were collectively silent.

On the road where Tallulah came from, there was also a man in a coat standing there.

Fragments of white fell from the gray sky, and the snow flakes stained by his windbreaker suddenly turned black, then shattered and scattered on the ground, as dirty as mud.

Chapter 47 Death and Life Together ([-]): Man and Cage

Two internal guards blocked the way of the infected people one after another.

"There are two...?!"

Tallulah was startled.

If there was only one inner guard, she would still be confident of keeping him if she teamed up with the shield guard, but the appearance of another inner guard broke her fantasy.

The emperor's inner guard, the notorious executioner in the shadow of Ursus' history, a terrifying character that makes people talk about it. On the other hand, it just proves their powerful force.

"Daughter of Cosiche, we assume that you have made a judgment that they will not question you because of your identity."

The inner guard said slowly: "We can verify the results. If your judgment is wrong and these infected people abandon you, all the promises your father made to us will be void."

Once Tallulah fails to achieve the desired results among the infected as planned, the plan discussed with Cosiche will lose its value to the inner defenders.

But the inside defender had great confidence in Kosiche, and he seemed to be able to see that the daughter of Kosiche in front of him was not someone willing to give up.

"what……?

【=

"What are you still thinking about?"

The shield guard yelled.

"Don't be dazed! They want more than just Tallulah's life!"

"what?!"

The infected person came to his senses.

"Do you think you can survive these two murderers after she dies?"

"Shield Guard! Protect Tallulah. Only if she is alive can we have a chance to repel them!"

"No...protect the soldiers!"

Tallulah did not look back. She stretched out her hand to stop the shield guard who wanted to protect her in front of her, and her tone did not allow for rejection.

"First, force them back, second, ensure the retreat route, and third, protect yourself." She said, "Don't focus on me alone at this time, preserve your strength, and save your own life first." ."

"Tallulah, you...!"

"Obey the order, Shield Guard! Prioritize the safe evacuation of the soldiers." She replied, her voice lowered, and the sword in her hand was covered in flames.

The flames were beating, and her thin body was like a strong city wall, blocking the shield guards and infected people.

"Live! Because...only by living can you do something. If you die, there will be nothing!"

The inner guard hesitated.

The determination to die in Tallulah's eyes made the inner guard fall silent. His eyes fell on Tallulah's hand holding the sword, and then he watched the flames dazzling and boiling under the gray sky.

"This is completely different from what your father said."

After a long time, the inner guard stared at Tallulah and said: "Foolish decision... You may let us down, leader of the infected in Beiyuan."

"I'm not a leader."

Tallulah said, her words strong and powerful.

Holding the sword and stepping forward, she grabbed the weapon she got from the Duke's Mansion, ignited a flame that could destroy herself, and rushed towards the most powerful and terrifying executioner in the Ursus Empire without any hesitation or cowardice.

She may never be able to deny her identity and past.

It never occurred to her to deny these.

The bewitchment of the black snake, the separation of the Dragon Gate, all the sufferings suffered so far, all the evil consequences inflicted by cruel fate.

She never thought of denying it, let alone escaping.

Perhaps she was not determined enough when she first embarked on this path, but now she has found the career she really should do.

because……

"I'm just an...infected person, I don't need you to expect anything."

She is a flame, even if she uses herself as firewood, she will burn if someone needs her. All the injustice and suffering she has encountered will only make her flame more intense.

She roared, and the inner guard's scimitar stopped the big sword. Fire was flying everywhere. The scimitar, which was pressed down by the big sword, was gradually retreating. The scattered flames splashed on the inner guard's black coat, and was struck by invisible force. Erosion annihilation.

"Give me... get out of here!"

Finally, the scimitar could no longer hold up, and Neiwei's body flew backwards, his legs sliding on the snow for a long distance before stopping.

"huge potential!"

The inner guard made no secret of the admiration in his tone. The scimitar in his hand was reddened by the high temperature. No, it was not just the scimitar. The magic seemed to have invaded the body under the inner guard's combat uniform unnoticeably.

If it were an ordinary person, his internal organs would probably have been burned to ashes.

"Hiss!... I should take off my hat to salute you, but unfortunately, I forgot to put on my military cap before going out today."

His words seemed to be sarcastic, and Tallulah felt this way.

She hammered the sword in her hand.

The short-term exhaustion caused by the burst of spells made her pant slightly.

"There is no point in continuing to fight. Daughter of Cosiche, your current ability is not enough to be our opponent. We are just the guards protecting Ursus. Your current team can be retained, and you will serve as the guards of the infected. It makes sense to continue to survive and we each take what we need.”

His words seemed like a superior giving some kind of gift to a subordinate. Rather, it seemed as if he was judging the fate of the infected people in Tallulah from the perspective of a master.

"What kind of guards are you...Who have you protected?!" Tallulah sneered coldly.

The self-proclaimed inner guard is like a big joke, a joke that makes people feel shameful and disgusting.

"Are you trying to anger me? It's a pity that the method is clumsy. You forgot your situation, but it's not important." The inner guard calmly replied: "There are people who call themselves guards in every country. There are too many things to be protected. There are too many guards.”

"Most of these people are corrupt and incompetent. We are greater than we are because of what we defend. You cannot understand it. We defend the future of Ursus."

"Haha, haha, can this cover up your crimes?" Tallulah asked with a sneer: "The crimes you have committed are too numerous to describe. The city of Semenko sailed into the big lake, and no one in the village of Elafia survived..."

"I can point out your atrocities one by one and make everything you have done public, and yet you claim to be the will of the country? Your ignorance will be whipped to pieces in the future!"

"..."

"You are angry, Daughter of Cosiche." The inner guard's words did not make any waves: "You are angry at the truth you learned from others, and you are angry at thinking that you have control of all the facts."

"Have you ever truly understood the reasons behind everything? No, but you have made decisions based on your own wishful thinking."

"...You still want to say that you two have extenuating circumstances?"

"No, every country will eventually use a whip to whip their laziest and stupidest people. Even so, we are blades and not whips." The inner guard replied: "We serve the empire. We only know how to absorb nutrients from the trees we prune. And useless branches, if this can be considered some kind of evil, then we are evil.

"I ask you, Daughter of Cosiche, if one day a group of infected people betray you and cause you huge losses, knowing this, will you eliminate them in advance?"

"You have no power to force them to leave. You cannot convict them in advance of crimes that have not occurred. Can you bear the price of the crime?"

Tallulah didn't answer.

"You hesitated. You might say that you will prevent all this from happening. You think you can stop it. You just can't face this. You want to expose our behavior. Even if you can do it, who will believe you? words, not to mention that you will continue to change your mind."

The inner guard opened his hand and stared at Tallulah. Although she couldn't see his gaze, Tallulah could feel his contempt.

He walked towards Tallulah step by step and spoke slowly

"Now that I'm coming towards you, will you step back?"

"Tallulah!" the shield guard shouted eagerly.

"Don't come here! Protect the soldiers!"

The shield guards had to stop because another inner guard was watching them.

"You protected them, even risking your life for it. However, because you are the daughter of Cosiche, they doubted or even suspected your behavior. Due to the difference in identity between you and them, everything you did in the past may be regarded as A conspiracy with ulterior motives."

"Daughter of Cosciche, will you regret holding back?"

"Usas's good deeds and evil deeds are equally important. When you face our evil deeds, you must also face everything our good deeds have cultivated. When you show hope and kindness to this group of infected people, you should also know how to counterattack. s consequence."

The inner guard stopped and stopped a few meters away from Tallulah.

He looked down at Draco's thin body.

"everything."

"A country cannot be measured simply by good and evil. On this scale, nothing is worth mentioning... It is not realistic to ask you to reach his height and understand his wisdom now."

The inner guard spoke out, with a little regret. "If you really do what he said, when that day comes, we will listen to your opinions. No matter what opinions you have about this country, we can listen patiently. But now you have nothing but potential and seeds."
