After a while, she slowly put away her sword and turned her head silently:

"Put the gun down."

She had already noticed the guy behind her: he was wearing a huge armor, had a green face, and his black eyes were flickering with a wavering light.

That was Vans Monarch.

"Miss Perlis...?" Vans stared at Perlis blankly, the corner of his mouth twitching, "You..."

Even wearing the giant force armor, his hand holding the gun was a little unsteady.

"The Petrov family fell so quickly...it turns out that it was because..."

"It's not just me," Perlis said calmly, "The Red Devil has also joined this war."

"【Red Devil】...?" Vans said blankly, "But...you are not..."

What surprised Perlis was that Vance slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun, looking lost:

"As expected... The Irenforno family's army fled in the face of the enemy because we were abandoned..."

The Irenforno family? Isn't that the Iron Lord's family? Perlis frowned, a little puzzled.

The next second, she was surprised to see Vans throw the gun to the ground, raise his hands, and look at her firmly:

"Don't do anything to the old man. I surrender."

"Young Master..." The old butler's voice carried a hint of warning, "Pick up your gun..."

"No, old man, why should the Monark family always suffer under their will? From father, sister, to brother..." Vans' voice was trembling with anger, "That idiot Venia just ran away to save his life. Who will punish him? Why should we be his scapegoat!"

"This is war," the old butler warned again, "I said, when the tide of the times rolls in, you can only follow... or..."

"Let me change its direction." Vans said firmly.

He picked up the radio and made a public announcement to all channels:

"Everyone, please pay attention. The command tower has been captured. I have been captured. Please put down your weapons immediately and surrender. There should be no more meaningless sacrifices."

After saying that, he threw the radio away, then pulled out an axe from his waist and threw it on the ground.

9) The Great Landing (Part 12)

This series of actions by Vans Monak surprised Polys. She did not expect that this once sloppy brother would become so resolute and decisive, and surrender without any hesitation.

Hmm... This shouldn't be considered the traditional spirit of Thebit...

"..."

Seeing that Vans had given up resistance, Perlis stopped attacking. She also turned on the radio and reported:

"Pure White Fireworks calling the Ice Ocean. I have taken down the command center and captured the enemy commander."

"Got it. We will temporarily stop the bombing," said Fujita Hideo. "Thank you for your contribution."

After hearing Perlis's report, Vans let out a long sigh and nodded tiredly:

"Thank you, Miss Perlis. I don't want to lose any more members of the Monarch family."

Vans still looked young and immature, but the features on his face had become more profound, which made Perlis feel a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar emotions.

That's true...How much change can a teenager make in just one year?

If Pace hadn't left Wanren Mountain, he would probably still be that useless young master who was just eating and waiting to die...

"..."

Looking at Vans's resolute face, Perlis said:

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you drop your weapon?"

"You are not that kind of person," Vans said without hesitation, "My brother gave up his identity as a Thebite for you... and died in the Federation. His judgment... must be..."

He seemed to have something stuck in his throat and didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head silently and stared at the ground.

"This is all Venia's conspiracy... He abandoned us on the front line and took away one-third of the original troops. Otherwise, we would still have a chance... Just to destroy the Monak family and the Petrov family. Is it worth it for him to do this?"

No...this is not right...Listening to what Vans said, Perlis became suspicious.

Even if Venia Irenforno was a coward, as a nominal general of Thebes, he had no motive to give up the East Sea coast to anyone else.

If he wanted to get rid of the Monarch family, he didn't have to pay such a huge price. After all, if the East China Sea coast was captured, the Dila army could directly open the road to the Third Legion camp.

This would cut off Thebit's ground supply lines and put other legions on the front line at great risk.

Or...is this his purpose?

A terrifying thought emerged in Perlis's mind. She didn't waste any time and asked Vance directly:

"Where is the Iron Lord?"

"He was in the Third Army camp before we were deployed to Tieling Town," Vance replied. "As for what happened after that, I don't know."

No...that's not right. If the Iron Lord was in the Third Legion camp, Venia's desertion would obviously be noticed immediately.

We should not use the inertial thinking to think that the useless young master just ran away out of fear and bad taste, but should assume that he has a deeper purpose...

Could it be that...he wants to betray Thebeth?

But who was he betraying? The Federation? Wilkin? And what good would it do him?

"..."

Perlis gently smoothed her bangs and continued to ask:

"Do you know the [Black Emblem]?"

"No, I don't know," Vance shook his head, "What is that?"

Sure enough, the news that the Iron Lord got the ancient artifact from the Bridge and the Strings did not spread. He was very cautious...

In this case, all we have to do next is head straight to the Third Legion camp and find the Iron Lord to solve all this.

"..."

Seeing that Perlis was thinking about something, Vance hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Ms. Perlis, for the sake of my brother, can you please... say something good about the Monak family in front of the Dila people? I have no other request, I just want the family members to suffer as little as possible..."

"No problem," Perlis nodded gently, "but you have to fully cooperate with our next move."

Vance glanced at the old butler lying on the ground, then looked at Perlis and took a deep breath:

"No problem. For the sake of the family, I can do anything."

The flickering black pupils reflected the bloodshot eyes, making the girl dazed for a moment.

Once upon a time, there was a young man who also loved his family and gave up everything for her.

Although Perlis always disliked that guy, she knew that in her heart, the guy who was several times weaker than her was more like a clumsy brother.

For a moment, the girl's bloodshot eyes dimmed.

"Ah."

Perlis nodded softly. At this moment, the soldiers' shouts came from downstairs:

"Put your hands behind your head! Don't move! Turn around (Dila)!"

"Hey, can you speak the common language?" The Thebit soldier shouted in a somewhat funny voice, "All my weapons are gone, stop pointing your gun at me!"

It seems that Tieling Town has been brought under control... Perlis turned her head and looked at Vance:

"Come on, I'll take you to see the commander of the Dila people."

As they were talking, there was a noise in the stairwell, the door on the top floor of the house was knocked open, and a number of energy spears came in. When they saw Perlis, the muzzles of the guns all dropped, followed by a cheer:

"we won!"

Grissom Tren walked through the crowd, came up to Perlis, and saluted her awkwardly:

"Thank you, Miss Perlis. Except for some Thebits who are fleeing, all others have surrendered!"

"Nothing." Perlis shook her head and pointed at the old butler on the ground. "Help him stop the bleeding. These two are important people. Please treat them with courtesy."

"Got it." Grissom nodded, then called on the brothers of the "Blue Reef" team to start working.

Perlis turned to Vans. He had already taken off the giant armor. The boy, who had just begun to develop, staggered on the floor, looking very thin.

But he has become much stronger...Pollis looked at Vans trying hard to pretend to be mature, and once again thought of a certain Thebite idiot.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a strong sense of killing intent and turned to the wall on one side.

"Danger, get down quickly!"

The next second, a violent explosion broke out from the wall behind Vans—

"Boom!"

Except for Perlis, who was possessed by a strong factor shield, everyone in the room was blown to the ground, screaming in the ruins.

Who is it...! Perlis immediately lit up the halo in her bloodshot eyes, looked out from the explosion hole, and locked onto a steel airship that was flying away into the distance.

Was it the Thebits who fired the cannon? But why...

Before Perlis could think of the next step, a scream drilled into her ears:

"what!!"

It was Vans' scream. The sound made Perlis panic. She immediately listened to the sound and looked for Vans.

His bloodshot eyes pierced through the smoke and dust, and soon he saw Vans, whose leg was trapped under the rubble.

He can't die here, he will be needed in the next operation!

Thinking of this, Perlis immediately ran to Vans' side, squatted down, and brushed off the gravel on his body:

“Ouch! It hurts so much…it hurts so much!!”

Vans screamed and struggled, his previous strength completely gone, tears and snot flowing out together.

"I...I can't feel my legs, wuwuwu..."

"Calm down, you're fine," Perlis said, pulling out a butterfly knife and starting to cut the rubble that was pressing on Vans' legs, "Push hard and break free."

"No! I'm dying... dying... wuwuwu..."

Vans was obviously terrified, with a sad face and tears streaming down his face.

Suddenly, he grabbed Perlis's wrist, causing Perlis's shoulders to tremble with fear:

"Eh?"

"Ms. Pearlis! Actually, I... Actually, I have always..."

The moment the blood eyes and the black eyes met, tears flickered in the black eyes, looking pitiful.

"If you... before I die, can you listen to my..."

Before Vans could finish his words, the pieces of rubble on his legs exploded under the erosion of strong factor energy.

"Clap."

Vans only felt that his stiff legs suddenly regained consciousness. He moved his legs in confusion, and when he realized that he was fine, his expression froze.

He looked at Pearlis, and Pearlis looked at him, and neither of them spoke.

"Ahem, Miss Perlis, are you okay?" Grissom coughed and hurried to Perlis's side, looking at Vance and Perlis, "Eh? What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Perlis stood up and put away the butterfly knife, "Carry him to the camp."

"Ok!"

Gleason and a group of Blue Reef's men lifted the dazed Vance onto a stretcher and carried him down the stairs with the old butler.

After they all left, Perlis's indifferent expression suddenly collapsed, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching.

He hasn't changed at all...

Perlis gently covered her wrist and clenched her fist tightly.
