Longmen Memoirs

"The empire is something you can't understand, Vaifan... no..."

The inner guard's words suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on Tallulah's horns and long black tail. The flame-like spell seemed to remind him of something.

"You won't happen to..."

He could not finish his words because the secret words of another inner guard interrupted his speculation.

The inner guard blocking the infected person's path came to his side.

"…Windigo!"

The crowd parted like a tide, and a tall voice came holding a shield and a halberd, with heavy and slow footsteps.

The inner guard is like facing a powerful enemy.

"Only two inner guards are not enough to kill me. If you want to be our enemy, it is best to have three people together."

"Captain!"

The arrival of the Patriots seemed to be a strong signal, and the Shield Guards instantly found their backbone. This was a prestige that Tallulah could not match, and it came from the powerful appeal of the Patriot Shield.

"All the inner defenders present, including those who have not yet appeared, there are five in total. I know the inner defenders will not waver, by the way! How confident are you in your own strength?"

"No, patriot, no." The inner guard immediately explained: "We don't want to be your enemy at all! Wendigo, you are a legend unknown to ordinary people in the Imperial Military."

"Even if the citizens of the mobile city have forgotten you, we still remember the stories that the previous generation often told."

"Hats off to you, Wendigo!"

"..."

Not only the infected, but also the shield guards who had been following the Patriots for a long time could not hide the surprise on their faces as the inner guard finished speaking.

The Patriots didn't answer.

He walked in Tallulah's direction in silence.

The inner defender did not dare to make any obstruction.

"...It turns out that you were following her. Most of the soldiers in the snowfield lied. They lied about the military situation and claimed to have been attacked by infected people. You were the one who did all this."

The inner guards seemed to suddenly understand something, and understood the source of the information they had learned from the local garrison, but they did not expect to encounter this legend of the empire.

"It's true that you became an infected person." Even the inner guard could not conceal his surprise.

"It is natural for me to fight for the infected."

"No, that's not right, Wendigo, this kind of plan will fail." The inner guard retorted.

"But there are a lot of infected people in this country."

"A fantasy cannot come true just because there are many people who believe in it, Wendigo, you should understand this."

"How many times have you experienced the defeats and triumphs of Ursus before you claim such things are a fantasy?"

Patriot asked, and the inner guard suddenly fell silent.

"That's right, my generation has not witnessed enough." The inner guard stretched out his hand, "So we invite you to come with us, Ursus Captain Bodro Kasti, please come with us, Ursus needs you. "

The shield guards were stunned. They didn't expect that the inner guards would invite the patriots.

Tallulah was also stunned.

She didn't know if the Patriot would refuse. She actually didn't have much confidence, because from beginning to end, the Patriot was the true leader of the infected, the one they really followed.

"Having fought under the late emperor for hundreds of years, you must be able to recall how powerful Ursus was at that time."

"What kind of prosperous and great era was that? We, regardless of race, are united in [&

The inner guard's words were full of expectation and yearning, with a hint of fanaticism and pursuit.

"The desire to return to that time is universal...Wendigo, we all want to return to a time when all were brothers and sisters and hated each other."

"We can make the greedy countries spit out the lands they plundered, and let the downtrodden people regain their dignity under the glory of Ursus. Our conquest is not to destroy, but to recast, and recast a world that belongs to Ursus." era, let us regenerate this land, let us rebuild that era, Wendigo, facing the violent storm coming, it is better than lingering alone on the snowfield. "

"You shouldn't have fallen to this..."

Chapter 48 Death and Life Together ([-]): The Last Wendigo

Fallen?

The patriot silently considered the word.

No, it shouldn't be a downfall, it's just retribution, he thought.

Everything he is doing now and his situation are just to repay and make up for the mistakes he has made. He does not think that he is falling, nor does he feel any unwillingness or sorrow about it.

once……

too long ago.

From the young and energetic migration here with the Wendigos, to the accidental death of his own children, now the group has withered, and he is the only one left alive to this day.

He once used disappointment and aversion to killing as an excuse to escape from his hometown, and once lost his integrity in Ursus. Everything he was loyal to has become a smoke in the past, and now he is the only one alive, living here. An icy snowfield.

The inner guard will not know his true inner thoughts.

Because the Wendigo standing in front of them is no longer a legend in the imperial military. It has come to an end for itself just like the end of the former emperor's era.

The Patriot didn't answer.

There was no response to the idea of ​​reviving the glory of the old era in the inner air.He saw the fanaticism in the eyes of the inner guard and the longing for the strength of Ursus in the era of the previous emperor.

It was indeed a glorious era.

Anyone who has experienced that splendid era will have the deepest nostalgia and expectations for it. But how many people who have experienced that era and survived to this day are left.

Most of them died at the hands of their compatriots and former comrades-in-arms, instead of facing the enemy and dying on the battlefield.

"What do you say to those Usas people who are so suppressed that they can't hold their heads up now?"

The shield guard roared angrily.

Yes, they are also young people, and they will also feel angry about everything they can see happening in front of them.

Surprisingly, perhaps because Patriot didn't interrupt or speak.

The inner guard actually answered.

"No one has it easy, it's just how bad these times are, and the citizens of Ursus are suffering."

"The lack of order, the negligence of strength, and the damage of morality are all mistakes. These mistakes have destroyed the current Ursus. We already know the problem."

The inside guard looked at the Patriot, as if he was answering or explaining specifically to him.

"We can correct these mistakes, we can rebuild order in Ursus, regroup strength, emphasize morality, we can correct these and put Ursus on a stronger path, as it should be."

"Nonsense!" the inner guard retorted loudly.

"You can ask your leader if he believes in us."

The shield guards subconsciously looked at the Patriots, but what was rare was that their captain did not refute.

"Captain...?!"

　【=

The patriots were silent.

His eyes fell on Tallulah, who was also looking at him. There were no expectations or requests in her eyes, her eyes were resolute and clear.

Even though Tallulah said nothing, no argument, no question, she undoubtedly had something to say, but she didn't speak.

The Patriots finally made a choice.

"Wrong." He said, "The leader now is not me, but her."

He stood behind Tallulah, and the strong shield he erected blocked the girl from the falling snow in the hazy sky of the Ursus Snowfield. The tall figure of the Patriot stood like a thick mountain wall behind the thin Drake.

Blocking her from prying eyes and danger.

"You have to ask her if she believes you."

The patriotic answer was like a heavy boulder. Tallulah's uneasy mood finally calmed down. She couldn't deny the ups and downs she had gone through in her heart in just ten minutes.

Even though she told herself that those things were not important, the looks in the eyes of her former comrades, the thoughts in their hearts, and the words of the inner guards could not really calm her down.

Even though she knew she shouldn't think about that and knew she should believe in the cause she was fighting for, in fact, it was really too difficult.

The inner guard fell silent for a long time.

The Patriot's words made the inner guard unable to reply for a moment, as if they were deliberately responding to the girl they had despised not long ago.

Bodrokas actually chose Tallulah and recognized her status as leader. He was upright and chose Cosiche's daughter, which was a big deviation from their original plan.

They could not imagine that Bozhuo Kasti would choose such an immature young person as her leader. Although she had potential, she was not worthy of someone like Wendigo walking with her.

"I have fought with your fathers. You are powerful and your tactics are not inferior to theirs."

Patriot spoke up to break Chen Mo's atmosphere. "But you are full of illusions about Ursus, and this is just your illusion."

"Maybe...but you can't deny that era. Every move you make connects you and Ursus. Even your title shows your will."

The inner guard retorted, but unfortunately they gave the wrong answer again.

Because for a patriot, any title is just a remnant of the battlefield. He doesn't care about those titles, nor does he care about what he looks like in the eyes of others.

Unfortunately, Wendigo did not correct their mistakes. It should be that from the beginning, they and themselves were two different types of people in Wendigo.

"So, is there a place for infected people in the Ursas you envision for this emperor now?"

asked the Patriot.

The answer is of course no. The infected are the natural enemies of the people of Ursus. In the propaganda of Ursus, the infected have always been in this position.

Even the inner guards do not have the power and power to subvert the entire Ursus' perception. Moreover, all they want is glory. As for who needs to be sacrificed for glory and what the price of glory is, they never consider it.

If Ursus wants to return to the glory of the former emperor's era, fight everywhere and establish order, then the infected will be inevitable victims. For the victims, Ursus has never had their place, and they do not need a place.

"If the infected have made the same contribution to Ursus, they should also receive the status of a matching gift."

The inner guard said so.

"This kind of status gained by grace is just a temporary fantasy like yours."

Tallulah mercilessly exposed the lies in the inner guard's words.

"You have no guarantee. Everything you say is based on your fantasy and is just your wishful thinking."

"Tallulah..."

The inner guard looked at Draco who said this in surprise. The sharp tone made him couldn't help but let out a slight hiss, but he did not refute.

"...You're right, Tallulah, we really can't guarantee it, but maybe with your help, things will be different."

Tallulah was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't hear the inner guard's words clearly.

"what are you saying?"

Help, Tallulah thought she heard wrongly, but the inner guard's calmness told him that they did say that.

"Will Emperor Ursus's internal bodyguard need the help of a group of infected people?"

"Blades never make promises, weapons don't make promises, and we also don't guarantee anything." The inner guard replied: "But I think the infected are the power that Ursus should have. You can rely on Go for it yourself.”

The inner guard looked in the direction of the infected and the shield guards, and he said loudly: "Everyone should be a symbol of the glory of Ursus. The infected who oppose Ursus should be eliminated, and if you fight for Ursus, , should be regarded as an honor.”

The crowd became noisy in an instant.

The whispers reaching Tallulah's ears had never been so noisy.

One day, the inner guard representing the emperor recognized the identity of the infected and was willing to honor them as a part of Ursus, which was unheard of.

"You didn't say in what way?" Tallulah asked, "Does working to death for Ursus in the mines count as fighting for Ursus, and being gathered by pickets and rushing to the battlefield, does it count as fighting for Ursus?" As for fighting, if the infected are forced to fight by Ursus, forced to work by Ursus, and the death of the infected becomes a victim of Ursus's conquest, then the glory you are talking about is worth nothing!"

The crowd quieted down.

"Even if in the end, the infected give their lives for Ursus, the way you treat the infected will not change in any way, because as you said, Ursus's conquest will not stop, but the infected will continue to die. .We get nothing, except the so-called honor in your mouth."

Her words were full of sarcasm.

"Hiss, Tallulah... very good, eloquent. "The inner guard said: "But what can you do with your help?A group of infected people, in the snowfield, in Ursus, there are countless ways to break you, countless ways to destroy you, you are too fragile, but at least we provide you with a possibility. "

"If you want to change these and change the situation of the infected, you can't do it by just saying a few nice words. Of course you can join us, and even try to change us with your ideas, so as to change the entire Ursus, provided that You gotta do it."
