Kitayama Xiongwu's words not only inspired Lubbock and the others, but also gave Lan courage. He said to Esdeath: "General Esdeath, I don't know what special mission you have in Tokyo, but now the kingdom We are in danger, I hope you can return to the kingdom to help us!”
Esdeath's popularity and prestige in the kingdom's army is unparalleled. As long as Esdeath can return to the kingdom to assist the general, even if the minister has the help of the American army, the general may not have no chance of winning!
"no."
Lan's abacus was very good, but Esdeath decisively refused: "I am currently living happily in Tokyo and have no desire to return to the kingdom at all. And I have said that I have resigned and I hope you will not be a general." The general called me."
You can compete with masters like Yan Kai every day, and when you feel the murderous intention, you can also ask Yakushiji Ryoko to find some illegal organizations' dens to "walk for heaven". There is also a "Queen's Guard" in the school that you can use at will. Si's life is very comfortable now and he doesn't want to go back to the kingdom at all.
All of her direct subordinates have died, and her new subordinate "Hunter" has not had time to develop feelings. She actually doesn't have much nostalgia for the kingdom. If she had just come to Japan, she would have thought about going back to the kingdom, but now , she has completely adapted to life in Tokyo and has no plans to return to the kingdom.
This is in stark contrast to Chitong, who has been studying hard just to be able to return to the kingdom in three years.
"But if you don't return to the kingdom, the kingdom will be occupied by the American army!"
Lan said with pain on her face.
Lan was originally just a teacher. For the sake of his students, he, who was obviously very talented, stayed in a village in the kingdom and lived a poor life. Later, he went to work in other places, and when he came back, he found that all his students had been tortured and killed. The local police concealed this tragedy for fear of being held accountable by their superiors. In order to find out the truth and avenge his students, Lan wanted to join the special police unit "The Hunters", but the "Hunters" were disbanded before he could investigate them. He became a junior official who stayed in the royal capital to handle affairs.
During this period, on the one hand, Lan was determined to use his power to investigate the murderer of his student. On the other hand, he saw more of the dark side of the kingdom and discovered that it was not a certain person who killed his student, but this sick country.
It is precisely because this country is sick that the police dared to deceive the superiors and conceal a tragedy that shocked the whole country. The ineffectiveness of the law makes the criminals feel that punishment will not come, so they are unscrupulous.
Everything is because this country is sick, so he wants to change this country and cure this sick country, and the general also gave Lan this hope, making Lan feel that this country can still be cured.
But now, this hope has become dim with the sudden arrival of the American army.
"Really..." Esdeath showed a regretful expression, "But that's because the kingdom is too weak and there is nothing we can do about it."
"The law of the jungle preys on the strong among people, and the same applies between countries. In front of a strong country, what can a weak country do except obey?"
Esdeath looked at Lan calmly.
The law of the jungle is the dogma she has believed in all her life, and she will not change for anyone. Even if her father is killed, she hates her father's weakness, not the person who killed her father.
If you want to survive, you can only become strong. This concept has taken root in her heart since then, and it is the driving force for her growth to this day.
She cherishes her subordinates because they are part of Esdeath's power, and is generous to civilians because she will not bully the weak to show her strength.
She has always been an extremely self-centered person, and may only have some feelings for her closest subordinates, but now those people are gone, and she has no attachment to the kingdom at all. Whatever the kingdom is, it has nothing to do with her. Nothing to do.
"Even if they want to abuse the people of the kingdom? I have to let them abuse me?"
Lan Yi said indignantly.
The things that the American army did in the war zone were harsh even just listening to them. When Lan thought that she might be there in the future, she felt like her heart was on fire.
"Yes! The weak have no right to resist in front of the strong!"
Esdeath said categorically.
Lan's body shook and she took a step back.
He really didn't believe that General Esdeath, who was deeply loved by the people in the capital, would say such a thing. Even if such Esdeath returned to the kingdom, he might not stand on their side, but would probably run away. Go to the ministers to help the emperor do evil.
Lubbock on the side was relieved when he heard Esdeath say that he didn't want to return to the kingdom. He was really afraid that this god of death returning to the kingdom would be detrimental to their resistance. It was already bad enough to face the American army, and then to deal with it again. It was really a desperate situation to meet the Royal Army commanded by Esdeath. You must know that their resistance army had not been able to defeat the Royal Army with Esdeath before.
But after hearing Esdeath's cold words, Lubbock still felt a chill in his heart.
Is this why Najexitan said that she would never join our resistance army? Such a person who believes in the law of the jungle and is an absolute jungler cannot be associated with a group of people united by their ideals.
After knowing that Chitong would not be able to go back with them, although they felt a little regretful (thinking about the check given by Beishan Xiongwu, it seemed that they were not so regretful), Lubbock and the others were still very happy that Chitong was not only alive, but also found a relative. , they told Chitong to live a good life in Japan, and then prepared to leave.
If it were normal times, they might stay with Chitong for a few days to catch up on old times, but now the resistance situation is critical. They are very worried about Najiexitan and want to go back quickly to confirm Najiexitan's safety.
Beishan Xiongwu also wanted them to leave quickly, so he directly arranged a private plane to send them back to the kingdom overnight.
Lan also left with them. Something suddenly happened in the kingdom. There was not much time for him to lose. He had to cheer up immediately.
The entry of the American army into the kingdom has become an irresistible force. What he has to do now is to persuade the general to unite with the rebels to fight against the American army and ministers.
But the general is a very old-fashioned and stubborn person. For him, resisting the rule of the kingdom for any reason is an unforgivable crime. It is more difficult than climbing to the sky to convince the general to cooperate with the rebels.
But even if it is difficult, Lan can only give it a try, otherwise he can't think of other ways to compete with the Mi army.
After Lubbock and Lan left, Beishan Xiongwu also left. For a person of his status, any action would affect the whole body. This time he secretly came out to deal with the matter of Chi Tong's companions. After handling it, he would leave immediately. But before leaving, Beishan Xiongwu touched Chitong's head and said, "Don't think so much. What you have to do now is study. Apart from that, great-grandfather will help you take care of it."
Chi Tong hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.
She knew that her great-grandfather's affairs in the kingdom didn't matter at all. He was willing to fund the resistance army with a billion dollars because of her, and it was absolutely impossible for her to be released back to the kingdom.
As for sneaking out and returning to the kingdom...
Chitong is sure that Beishan Xiongwu will let Esdeath return to the kingdom, and based on her understanding of Esdeath, she will definitely choose to join the camp of the minister and the American army, because the camp there is stronger.
The American army is already strong enough, and Chitong does not want the resistance to face a more powerful enemy.
During the routine sparring in the evening, Yan Kai saw that Chi Tong was obviously absent-minded. Even Ah Jiu felt that it was boring to bully Chi Tong like this and became a little uninterested.
"Stop! Chitong, where is your concentration? If you keep practicing like this, you won't be able to 'trance' within three years."
Yan Kai stopped his sparring with Esdeath, and at the same time stopped Chi Tong and Ah Jiu.
The main reason was to stop Ah Jiu, who was now jumping on Chi Tong and beating Chi Tong desperately.
Ah Jiu Fang brought Chi Tong, who got up, leaned on the ground with "Murasame", lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Kai, but I..."
The resistance army suffered a huge change, and all her thoughts were running to the kingdom with Lubbock and the others. She could not calm down to sparring with Ah Jiu. Of course, even if she calmed down and sparred with Ah Jiu, she would only be beaten wildly by Ah Jiu. share.
"I won't say 'it's useless to worry' or 'don't think too much'. I just hope you understand what you need to do most now."
Yan Kai leaned over and stroked Chi Tong's head.
Although in terms of age, Chi Tong is one or two years older than Yan Kai, but mentally, she has been receiving assassination training and is more than a year younger than Yan Kai. She has a strong childishness, similar to Eve, which makes Yan Kai Kai couldn't help but want to touch her head.
"I..." Chitong opened her mouth. At first she thought she wanted to return to the kingdom and fight with her companions, but she was not a brainless person after all. She paused and said, "I should study hard, practice swordsmanship hard, and strive for success." Meet the requirements set by great-grandfather as soon as possible."
Then return to the kingdom openly!
"Now that you know it, then work hard towards this goal."
Yan Kai opened his hand and rubbed Chitong's hair.
Don't tell me, this long, straight black hand feels really good.
"But I..."
Chitong knew intellectually that she should do this, but emotionally she still couldn't let go of the situation in the kingdom.
"By the way, Uncle Kai!" Chitong suddenly raised his head and said, "My great-grandfather said before that seventy years ago, an army defeated the undefeated American army. Do you know which army grandpa was talking about?"
Seventy years ago, it must have been right after World War II. Chitong remembered that at that time, all the major countries in the world were busy licking their wounds and recuperating. Only American could safely make a fortune from the war because there was no war in the country. , national strength and military power have reached the highest point in history, and the army has just experienced World War II and is a force capable of hundreds of battles. How could such a US army be defeated? And it was defeated by an army with backward equipment and lack of logistics!
Chitong couldn't believe it when he heard Beishan Xiongwu say this, but he also felt that Beishan Xiongwu couldn't lie to him about this, but he didn't have the chance to ask in detail at the time, but now he suddenly remembered and asked Yan Kai, Yan Kai understood There are so many things, you must know them.
If possible, she wanted to absorb some experience, maybe it could help the resistance.
Of course Yan Kai knows it. Not only does he know it, there should be no Central Plains person who has gone to school who doesn't know it, but...
"This..." Yan Kai pushed up his glasses, and then ruffled Chi Tong's hair, "... read more!"
……………………
Lubbock and others returned to the kingdom at starry night and reached initial cooperation with Lan on the way - no matter whether the general would choose to cooperate with the rebels or not, Lan would violate the provisions of the rebels and "Night Raid" even in his personal capacity. help.
In the face of a national crisis, personal stance is no longer important. All forces that can be united must be united to fight against the real enemy.
Brak was responsible for collecting intelligence in the royal capital. Of course he also knew that Lan was an upright and promising official. After entering the royal capital, he had done a lot of good things for the common people of the royal capital. Although he did not completely believe in Lan, he felt that he could tentatively negotiate with Lan. cooperating.
After returning to the kingdom, Lubbock and others found the defeated and hiding rebels according to the secret code, including the "night attack" BOSS Najehitan.
"BOSS, it's great that you're okay!"
Seeing that Najiexitan was safe and sound, Leo was happy and wanted to rush forward, but her head was caught by Najiexitan's iron arm.
"Leone, I'm a little tired now and don't have the energy to mess around with you."
Najexitan's voice was full of exhaustion.
After the resistance army was defeated, she organized the resistance army to retreat and led the dead soldiers to cut off the rear. She fought hard and without sleep for a long time. Now her eyelids are as heavy as a mountain.
Lubbock was very excited to see that Najiexitan was safe and sound, but he was not the kind of person to be easily carried away by emotions. He calmed down after confirming that Nadezhitan was safe and asked Najiexitan frankly: " BOSS, on the way here, I saw that the losses of the resistance forces didn’t seem too serious?”
After losing several cities in a row, and all of them were heavily guarded key cities, he thought that the resistance army had suffered huge losses.
"Hey, nearly 10,000 of our resistance brothers died. Isn't this too tragic?" Najexitan sighed, and then continued, "But the number of casualties should have been higher, but before the enemy launched a counterattack, , I received an anonymous message here, saying that the American army was involved in the war, and the Royal Army was going to start a counterattack. Although I did not believe this message of unknown origin, I still kept an eye on it and made some arrangements in advance. The rebel losses were much lower.”
Someone notified me in advance?
Lubbock's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Beishan Xiongwu. This red-eyed great-grandfather seemed to have hands and eyes that could reach the sky. Could it be that he reminded the BOSS?
So Lubbock hurriedly told Najiexitan about Chi Tong and Beishan Xiongwu. Of course, he did not know Beishan Xiongwu's identity. He only said that Beishan Xiongwu was Chi Tong's great-grandfather.
"How much did you say? A billion dollars?"
Najexitan was completely frightened by the numbers Lubbock said.
If one billion US dollars were used to arm the rebels, how could the previous battles be fought by the American army, which was far smaller in number than the rebels.
Lubbock could understand Najiexitan's shock very well. He nodded and said, "Yes, and Chitong's great-grandfather promised that he will provide additional assistance in the future."
As long as we come and go Chitong.
Lubbock added silently in his mind.
The premise is not to look for Chitong, right?
Lubbock didn't say anything, but listening to Lubbock's narration just now, Najiexitan also heard Beishan Xiongwu's appeal to the rebels.
Chitong is their partner and cannot be traded with money, but...
He gave so much! A billion dollars!
Najexitan's only remaining eye couldn't help but glow green. With this billion dollars, the resistance could purchase advanced arms, provide compensation for dead and wounded brothers, improve logistics supplies, and... it could be done. There are too many things. In this way, the role played by one red pupil in the war may not even be enough for a fraction of a billion US dollars!
"Lubbock!"
Najesitan's iron arm rested on Lubbock's shoulders.
"Um."
Lubbock nodded.
"We should not disturb Chitong in the future. She is living a good life now. There is no need to put her in danger."
Najiesi said sincerely.
"Yeah, I know, BOSS."
Lubbock nodded repeatedly.
Yes, this is all for Chitong's good, really.
