Dragon Gate Swordsman

With a height of 1.6 meters, she seemed a little petite compared to Chongxiao, and she was hugging her neck... He had to hold Texas' waist with one hand and gently stroke her smooth black hair with the other.

Or you can just stroke the fur of the Lupo tribe...

However, this tactic that usually works well for Texas lost its effect today.

"So... you're definitely not going to disappear, right?"

Still the same sentence.

Chongxiao is now completely certain that this was a "good deed" done by Arturo, because he sensed the fear in Texas' heart and the obsession that almost occupied his mind.

Texas would never become excited and vulnerable because of these things before... Obviously, Arturo used the Originium technique to amplify the subconscious that she was most reluctant to face in her heart, but she didn't expect that it had such a big relationship with herself...

Thinking of this, Chongxiao couldn't help but feel moved and distressed.

"I am not a living person, how could I disappear for no reason?"

"That's good..."

Seeing that Texas' emotions seemed to have eased, Chongxiao prepared to continue comforting her.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Texas did something that no one expected: he directly hugged Chongxiao's head and kissed him without hesitation!

Fiammetta, who was standing nearby and watching the situation, was petrified. Mostima's expression twitched, and it was obvious that he couldn't bear to watch it. Instead, Theresa couldn't help but whistled, and then smiled and was about to applaud... The three Laterans witnessed a scene that deserves to be remembered in the history of the Guards.

That’s because Remuel walked fast and didn’t see it, otherwise it would have been a big scene.

After a long time, the two people who were in ecstasy slowly separated...

Chongxiao was fine, just a little emotional. Texas buried her head against his chest, her body trembling.

It seemed that she only realized what she had done at this moment.

"Sorry, Texas, this should have been my turn..."

"...Woo."

The girl made a lovely sound, which made Chongxiao smile knowingly.

It wasn't the first time he had heard Texas make this sound, there was a chance that when he combed her hair and tail, it represented comfort and relaxation... and now, this sound seemed to have taken on an extra meaning.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, Arturo... You did a great job! You did a great job!!!

"Okay, okay, I'm going to Rutland, not Reach."

"What is that place?"

"This place is full of heroes, but I'm not a hero."

Chongxiao rubbed Texas' ears lovingly, feeling that they seemed to feel better than usual, "So, I will definitely come back, right?"

Chapter 165 Things Have Changed

"Chief, I brought him here."

The sound, without any ups and downs, was just right for the cold surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, the black cloth covering Mo Hai's face was pulled off, without any consideration as to whether his eyes would be scratched.

This is a completely enclosed room. Apart from the door behind and a ventilation hole less than half a meter in front of the right, there is no connection to the outside world... But the thick stone walls seem unable to block the cold of the frozen snowfield, even with the blazing torches inserted on them...

Ursus has been a bitter and cold place since ancient times.

In addition to the black cloth that had just been pulled off, Mo Hai's hands were also tied up with old chains. As for the pair of short spears he brought, they were held in the hands of a man in a white combat robe.

The best description is to eat fish meat.

Just then, a cold voice came.

"Pelo people from Yan Country, explain why you are active nearby."

In the flickering flames, Mo Hai saw a vaguely familiar face.

However, more than ten years have passed since I last saw this face. The innocence that I saw at that first glance has long since disappeared, replaced by a stern and awe-inspiring look.

In a trance, Mo Hai seemed to see the "ferocious version" of Princess Huaying.

It really looks alike...

Although he thought so in his heart, a ferocious smile appeared on Mo Hai's face.

"What? Am I ignorant? When did a bandit like you who lords over the mountains appear in the frozen snowfields of Ursus?"

The Ursus language was very standard, with no trace of Yan Country accent at all, which made Tallulah frown.

Two days ago, when the guerrilla members reported that there were suspicious people moving around nearby, she didn't take it seriously. Instead, the experienced patriot "jumped the gun" and directly asked the guerrillas to arrest the person.

Like Alina, Tallulah didn't think it was right to do so... The ancient castle ruins where the Reunion was currently hiding were located in a remote area, so it shouldn't be that easy for the Ursus troops to find them.

Besides, there are so many villages and mines nearby. If we arrest every person who comes, wouldn’t it be easier to expose the hiding place of the Integration Movement?

However, the patriots' reasons were sufficient: the guerrillas had extensive experience in reconnaissance, and if they thought this person was suspicious, then he must be very suspicious...

So, after being caught and locked up and starved for two meals, Mo Hai was blindfolded and brought to Tallulah.

She was not the only one sitting in the room. She could see flickering figures at the back, but the lighting from the torch was limited and the figures were too close to the door, so it was difficult to see clearly who those two people were.

"If you're trying to irritate me, it's a waste of effort."

Tallulah stood up and placed her hands on the stone table, which had been broken by one third. "Which unit are you from?"

According to the intelligence gathered by the guerrillas, there is only one regular army chasing the Integration Movement on the frozen snowfield, and it is somewhat passive and slack... The real trouble lies with the private guards and mercenaries sent by the nobles. After all, there are thousands of mines of all sizes in northern Ursus, all of which are "assets" divided up by the nobles.

"It depends on whether you believe me or not."

"If you don't tell me now, you will never tell me again."

Tallulah narrowed her eyes slightly, and a chilling murderous intent gradually emanated from her.

But in the eyes of the extremely experienced Mo Hai, this murderous intent seemed more like a show of strength on the outside but weakness on the inside, or something that was deliberately pretended.

Being able to lead the Reunion Movement, an organization that openly resists the Ursus Empire, Talullah is definitely not a coward. Her behavior this time only proves that she is not someone who would easily kill innocent people.

What would the Duke of Wei think if he saw you now?

"Really? In Dayan's words, you have such great authority."

Mo Hai remained neither humble nor arrogant, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his words. The last sentence he said was spoken directly in Yan Guoyu.

The next moment, Tallulah raised her eyebrows slightly and responded in standard Yan Chinese: "What about you? You are such a frivolous person, what are you trying to hide?"

Mo Hai sighed inwardly, but the expression on his face changed extremely appropriately, the crude and grim smile of disgust froze in an instant, and then gradually turned into surprise and dullness.

"How could you... say..."

"You have three minutes."

Tallulah folded her hands across her chest and signaled with her eyes to the members of the Integration Movement behind Mo Hai.

Mo Hai soon heard the friction sound of the short spear.

"alright, you win!"

Seeing that the situation was almost tense, he stopped pretending as Tallulah had said, "I'm here to join your Reunion Movement."

"To surrender? You are a Yan countryman, and you ran to a place like this to surrender to us?"

"You speak as if Da Yan is a paradise for the infected!"

Mo Hai suddenly raised his voice and spoke sternly, and this sentence also stunned everyone else.

Tallulah's eyes swept towards his left wrist... It was tightly wrapped with medical bandages, but a clear bulge could still be seen. The most likely possibility was that it was an Originium crystal.

After a brief pause, Tallulah stepped forward, took the halberd from the Reunion member, and cut open the bandage.

As expected, the Originium crystals growing from the skin were clearly visible... No wonder this man's left hand showed some signs of atrophy. It was probably because the blood vessels and nerves had been compressed for a long time and could not provide sufficient nutrient support.

Although being infected together does not mean that they can be trusted, the Reunion Movement was not a very strict organization, so not only Tallulah but also the hostility of others has largely dissipated.

"How did you get infected?"

"Then I really have to thank the military and police of Ursus. I was ordered to hunt down the transnational fugitives. Not only did they not help me, but they also deliberately concealed intelligence... I will not rest in peace until I have avenged this!"

To be honest, Mo Hai's acting skills at this moment were a little exaggerated, and his lies were a little crude. If the Patriot were here, he probably wouldn't be able to deceive people.

But Tallulah doesn’t have the mindset of a true superior yet, and there’s someone here who’s even softer-hearted…

So soon, Mo Hai was covered with a black cloth again and taken out.

"We shouldn't do this to him, Tallulah."

The Elafia woman named Alina stood up and walked over, with a look of obvious reluctance on her face, "He can't be a spy from the patrol team. Da Yan... Da Yan has no reason to care about what's going on here."

"We can't take it lightly. We don't know his background at all."

"And...he's very strong."

The person who had just sat with Alina also revealed his true face at this time.

Like the member of the Integration Movement just now, she was also wearing a combat robe that was mainly white... This was the most common light protection in Ursus, and it also served as a camouflage, and was often used by soldiers such as warlocks and crossbowmen.

"So you feel the same way, Yelena?"

Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief. "Then he must have been brought here on purpose... The question is, what does he want to do?"

The three of them looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.

After years of moving around, the integration movement is no longer a team of just a few dozen people.

The large number of infected people and people hostile to Ursus joining the organization has rapidly expanded its size and strength, but it has also brought more difficult problems to solve... For example, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find enough supplies, the attitude of civilians has gradually changed from indifference to fear, and there are even many radicals who propose to attack the nearby mobile city of Vodka.

If it weren't for the assistance of the two veteran generals, Patriot and South, who used their powerful strength to intimidate the villains, Tallulah alone would not be able to manage the current integration movement. (Note)

Of course, she had received "training" in this area and was not lacking in ability, but she just didn't have the awareness yet...

But enlightenment is often accompanied by an unbearable price.

……

Since the four men responsible for escorting Arturo were all very capable, Fiammetta did not consider too much rest time when planning the route.

During the entire day and night after setting off, the two modified off-road vehicles were almost never turned off, except for stopping to eat.

Mostima and Theresa switched back and forth several times, but Chongxiao, who was more concerned about Fiammetta, never let go of the steering wheel after taking it... This made the Phoenix of Destruction somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.

The embarrassing thing was that she had already foreseen Mostima's reaction when she knew about this situation, and shame was a girl's nature... After all, Chongxiao's ambiguity with Texas before leaving was still vivid in her mind.

Moreover, Fiammetta, who had lived in Longmen for more than a year, had long heard from the special inspection team that this guy was very fond of red-haired people.

So when Mostima and Theresa were chatting while driving to avoid being bored, Fiammetta and Chongxiao were very quiet, because the former had been looking out the window pretending to be calm, until the sun rose after the night fell, her expression gradually...

Huh?

Chongxiao then realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Fiammetta's expression.

She supported her chin with one hand and stared out the car window in a trance, exuding obvious sadness and... regret?

"Are you okay? Not feeling well?"

"No...don't worry about me."

"You must be kidding! I feel bad if you lose even a hair!"

Fiammetta shivered slightly, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes, but more of it was helplessness.

Serious and serious people really don't have any good way to deal with people who play it straight... and it doesn't seem like that person is joking.

Fortunately, at this moment, Mostima and Theresa's car suddenly changed direction.

"…Follow them, Chongxiao."

"Is there a shortcut? Or is there a suitable place to rest nearby?"

Fiammetta shook her head and said nothing, but Chongxiao could see that she was already lost in some thoughts at this moment, and her sadness was even greater.

This is an area of ​​undulating rocky hills, covered with rare drought-resistant vegetation, such as long-vine thorns and bugos berries, and the relatively complex terrain seems to be suitable for ambushes.

Along the rugged terrain, Zhongxiao drove behind Mostima and the others for half an hour before he saw them stop.

I also saw the reason for stopping...
