Just when Red Eyes and the companions of "Night Raid" reunited after a long separation, Esdeath also entered the gym. Lubbock and Chelsea immediately took a step back. This step showed that they also have a deep understanding of the strongest general in the kingdom. The fear of the greatest killer.
Although Lan hesitated for a moment, he still chose to step forward and salute Esdeath: "Hello, General Esdeath, my name is Lan, and I was a member of the 'Hunter' unit under your command."
Esdeath glanced at Lan and said with a smile: "Lan... I remember you. Although I haven't been able to meet you officially, I have read your information and you are a very outstanding talent."
On the first day of the "Hunter" assembly, she was defeated and taken away by Kitayama Xiongwu on the way to meet her new subordinates. Therefore, she was not able to meet the members of the "Hunter" in person, but she had already read their information. So I recognized Lan at a glance.
"General Esdeath, I followed the 'Night Raid' to Tokyo, and accidentally discovered your whereabouts. You suddenly disappeared a few months ago. Are you performing some secret mission when you appear in Tokyo now?"
Of course Lan would not say that he came to Tokyo because he wanted to unite with the "Night Raid" to eliminate the "Crazy Hound". He only said that he came to Tokyo to track the "Night Raid" because he had heard that Esdeath seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts. ability, so I dare not lie in front of her.
Esdeath noticed that there were some inaccuracies in Lan's language, but he didn't care. After all, Lan only had an obligation of loyalty to "General Esdeath" and not to "Teacher Esdeath". She has resigned and is now an honorable teacher.
So even if Lan hid something from Esdeath, Esdeath just smiled lightly and didn't care: "No, I just changed my career. The original 'General Esdeath' is no longer around. I am now It's 'Teacher Esdeath'."
Esdeath pronounced the accent on the word "teacher".
Lan glanced at several "Night Raid" members and immediately realized something.
General Esdeath worked so hard to hide his identity, how could he casually reveal his mission in front of outsiders? He was careless!
As soon as Esdeath saw Lan's reaction, she knew that Lan was thinking wrongly, but she didn't know how to explain it to him. After all, she also had concerns.
Compared to Esdeath and Lan, communication on the other side is much simpler.
"Akahitomi, what happened to you! Why did you disappear suddenly, and why did you suddenly appear in a high school in Tokyo?"
Leonai held Chitong's neck and said curiously.
She didn't believe that Chi Tong would betray "Night Raid" and betray their companions, but she was indeed curious about what Chi Tong had been through these days.
"that……"
Chitong felt very embarrassed. She always felt that she was a bit like a deserter by leaving when her friends needed her, and she left without saying goodbye, making her friends worry about her. However, Kitayama Xiongwu had specially told her not to leave her The situation was informed of "Night Raid".
After all, the Beishan family enjoys a very high reputation in Japan and even internationally. If it is reported that direct members of the Beishan family have served in the assassination organization, this will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Beishan family, even if Beishan Xiongwu is again Although he loves Chi Tong, he may always take the reputation of the Beishan family as a joke, so Chi Tong's experience in the kingdom must be kept well hidden, and the connection with the "Night Raid" must be severed.
Perhaps only if the resistance successfully overthrows the kingdom's rule and establishes a new government in the future, and all members of the "Night Raid" are cleared and come ashore, will Beishan Xiongwu be able to let Chitong contact them.
Yes, in fact Beishan Xiongwu did not expect Chitong to reach the realm of great swordsman within three years. This is simply impossible for ordinary people. Beishan Xiongwu deliberately used it to embarrass Chitong. Although It is true that someone crossed this great realm in only three years, but that person's name was Xue Wenhai.
There is no second Xue Wenhai in the world. Even if Beishan Xiongwu is extremely proud of his Beishan family's bloodline, he doesn't think that Chi Tong, who has only a few years to become a swordsman, can break through and become a great swordsman in the next three years. Therefore, in the future, She is destined to stay in Japan all her life, and it is impossible for her to return to the kingdom.
Of course, Beishan Xiongwu would not tell Chi Tong these thoughts, and even Yan Kai didn't know. After all, it seems that it is not impossible for Yan Kai to become a great swordsman within three years if he works hard. After all, he left It only took a total of three years to achieve "perfection" and reach "superior perfection", still before the age of twelve, and he had mediocre qualifications and average talent.
Seeing that Chi Tong seemed to have something to hide, Lubbock stopped Leone from continuing to ask: "Okay Leone, as long as Chi Tong is fine and everything is fine, we have no other questions."
Chitong held the scabbard of "Murasame" tightly with both hands, with blue veins bulging on her fair hands. She lowered her head and kept saying "I'm sorry."
She knew very well that her great-grandfather kept his promise. As long as she sneaked back to the kingdom, Beishan Xiongwu would definitely let Esdeath go back. And when the time comes, what the resistance army would have to face would be a man sparring with Yan Kai. General Esdeath's strength has reached a new level in a few months, so she can't go back with Lubbock and the others.
After hearing what Lubbock said, Leonai stopped embarrassing Chi Tong. He touched Chi Tong's head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Seeing that you are living a good life, we are all relieved. Japan is a good country. Just live here well, and when we overthrow the kingdom and win, we will come to Japan to play with you, and then you, as the host, must entertain us well!"
"Um!"
Chitong couldn't help but nod.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. Chitong's great-grandfather wants to meet you. If you are not pressed for time, can you wait for him for half an hour?"
Yan Kai opened his cell phone and said.
After confirming that Lubbock and the others were Chitong's partners, Yan Kai reported their arrival to Beishan Xiongwu. It was related to his great-granddaughter. Beishan Xiongwu, who was far away in Kyoto, wanted to rush over immediately.
It’s only three to four hundred kilometers, and at Beishan’s majestic speed, half an hour is enough.
"Chitong's great-grandfather?"
Lubbock's heart moved.
In fact, he had roughly guessed that Chitong did not return to the kingdom because of family reasons. According to what Chelsea found out, Chitong was a child of a large family in Tokyo who was living abroad. He was only found a few months ago. Those big families were Of course, Lubbock, who is the fourth son of a wealthy family in the kingdom, knows very well that he definitely does not want to be associated with the resistance and the assassination organization. Even Lubbock himself is following the woman he admires, Najiesi. After Tan joined the resistance, he had severed ties with his family.
In this way, it can be explained that Chi Tong is not in contact with "Night Raid", but he has never figured out why Chi Tong is with Esdeath. Such a combination is very strange no matter how you think about it!
Taking advantage of the time when Kitayama Xiongwu arrived, Yan Kai asked Ayazaki Sa to entertain Lubbock and Lan first, then went to Xinchuan Building himself, shook off Manager Kaito who was clinging to his thigh again, and quickly did it After a few dishes, he returned to the gym, and at this time, Beishan Xiongwu also arrived in the dust.
"Are these friends of Chitong's in the kingdom? Chitong asked you to take care of me before. Thank you very much!"
Beishan Xiongwu was very polite and polite to Lubbock and others.
"No, no, no, it's Chitong who helped us a lot. You're welcome!"
Seeing Beishan Xiongwu's kind and kind face, Lubbock felt relieved. Just now, he was afraid of Chitong's great-grandfather, who was a domineering, paranoid and stubborn old man. He never expected that he would be so talkative. .
"You came to Japan probably to take away Chitong, but please forgive the misery of an old man who finally found his lost family. I really can't bear to put her in danger!"
Beishan Xiongwu spoke sincerely and authentically.
"It's okay, we understand."
Lubbock nodded repeatedly. Somehow, he always felt why he couldn't resist the words of this kind middle-aged man in front of him.
By the way, is he really Chitong's great-grandfather? He looked so young, he thought he would be an old man who was at least seventy or eighty years old.
Beishan Xiongwu smiled kindly: "Speaking of which, I have been paying attention to the kingdom's affairs. I have good news and bad news about the kingdom. Do you want to hear it?"
"What is it?"
Lubbock wondered.
"If we want to listen, let's hear the good news first!"
Leonai raised his hands excitedly.
Beishan Xiongwu continued to smile kindly: "Recently, someone discovered huge reserves of oil and natural gas in your kingdom."
"Petroleum and natural gas!?"
Leonai's eyes are as bright as light bulbs, which is a big treasure in modern society. Could it be said that we people in the kingdom can also live the life of wealthy people in other countries in the future? Can I have one cup of milk tea in the future?
"Where's the bad news?"
Chelsea was much calmer than Leonette. After hearing the good news, she did not get carried away and asked about the bad news.
Beishan Xiongwu patted his sleeves as if shaking off the dust: "Didn't I just say that someone recently discovered huge reserves of oil and natural gas in your kingdom."
"But isn't that good news?"
Leonai, who was simple-minded, was stunned.
"It's good news, but if you're not careful, it may turn into bad news, and it's... very bad news!"
Beishan Xiongwu smiled.
“Where are oil and gas found?”
Lubbock's heart suddenly tightened. Beishan Xiongwu reported the names of two cities. Lubbock's face suddenly became very ugly, because one of the places, which is the city where Najiexitan is currently located, also has a large number of people. The city where the rebels were stationed.
Regardless of covering up, he immediately set out to contact Najiexitan, but found that he could not be contacted.
"At about three o'clock in the afternoon Japan time, the Royal Army suddenly launched a full-scale counterattack. At present, several cities in the hands of your resistance forces have been recaptured by the Royal Army, including the two cities I just mentioned. If you want to contact the person If you're in one of those two cities, I think you won't be able to contact me for the time being."
Beishan Xiongwu said to Lubbock calmly.
Lubbock's face became even more ugly, and what he was most worried about finally happened.
In recent times, the mobilization of the Royal Army has indeed become more frequent than in the past, but Lubbock only thought that it was the Royal Army's stubborn resistance. After all, in terms of total strength, the Royal Army was far inferior to the rebels and could not even protect themselves. Not to mention counterattack.
This huge disparity in military strength is also due to the kingdom's perverse actions over the years, which have driven the civilians of most cities in the kingdom to death. Except for the royal capital, there is no city where the civilians in the entire kingdom can have enough to eat. , even the civilians in the royal capital, the oppression and oppression they suffered made their lives difficult.
Once the flames of resistance are ignited in such a country, how can it not be followed by a cloud of followers?
Due to the absolute strength difference, the rebels captured most of the kingdom's cities at the beginning of the uprising. A few months later, they surrounded the royal capital. If it weren't for the disagreements among the rebels themselves, even the royal capital would have been large. General Bude guarded the area, and relying on the human sea, the tactical pile also killed General Bude and his guards.
It can be said that the current self-protection of the royal capital is not enough, so where will the power come from to counterattack? Isn’t this a fantasy!
But recently, the dispatch of the Royal Capital's army has indeed exceeded that of the past. This has always been a thorn in Lubbock's heart. He truthfully reported this information to Na Jiexitan, but even Na Jiexitan, who once served as a general in the Royal Army, Jexitan couldn't guess what the Royal Army's intentions were. The outcome of the war could be said to be doomed. Unless Esdeath returned, she couldn't think of any possibility for the Royal Army to make a comeback.
Beishan Xiongwu saw Lubbock's surprise. He chuckled and said, "I can't understand why you who have surrounded the royal capital suddenly lost the battle, right?"
Beishan Xiongwu looked at Yan Kai: "Xiao Kai, what do you think is going on?"
Yan Kai had a strange look on his face: "Based on what you just said, it should be the villain who doesn't see rabbits but doesn't let hawks do it, right?"
"A villain who can't catch a rabbit but doesn't let go of hawks?" Beishan Xiongwu repeated Yan Kai's description, and then nodded in agreement, "It is indeed a very appropriate description!"
"What are you talking about? What's going on!"
Leonai was so anxious that he jumped, but Beishan Xiongwu was playing riddles with Yan Kai.
"To put it simply, Amrican got involved in the civil war in your kingdom, and... he was helping the kingdom."
Yan Kai looked at Leonai with some sympathy.
Hey, I finally dug out some treasures at home, but ended up being targeted by the villain. It was really tragic.
"American is helping the kingdom? Why? We are obviously on the side of the people and public opinion. They refused to provide assistance to us on the grounds of not interfering in other countries' internal affairs. Why are we almost winning the war on our own now? , but they suddenly came out to help the kingdom...why!"
Leonai said excitedly.
When the resistance was founded, they sought help from other countries. Of course, Almerican, known as the "Lighthouse of Human Civilization," was also the one the resistance sought help from. However, it was severely rejected by them, saying that Almerican was a free and democratic country. A country will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, but now...
"Probably because of freedom!"
Yan Kai said quietly.
"What nonsense freedom, where is the freedom of the kingdom!"
Leonai said angrily.
The current kingdom has long been made miserable by ministers, and the people of the kingdom have no freedom at all!
"No, you misunderstood, I mean, it's their freedom."
Yan Kai shook his head gently.
Help whoever you want to help, and fight whoever you want to fight. What is freedom? This is freedom, the "freedom" that belongs exclusively to Amrican!
"..."
Chitong, Leonai, Lubbock, Chelsea, and Lan were all silent.
