It was getting late, and there was an extremely complex smell in the air.
The smell is snow, north wind, campfire, and the smell of pig iron.
Emperor No. 1 stood in the wind, staring at the night sky as thick as ink in trance.
"Gu, everyone is here."
Jack Guo stepped forward and patted him heavily on the shoulder.
Han Dongwen took a deep breath and still looked into the distance reluctantly.
"A total of thirty-eight church reinforcements entering tonight have all removed everything that represents the church's identity in accordance with the church's latest requirements. Their weapons are also ready and ready to take action at any time."
Jack Guo's voice was trembling. Was he excited? Or something else?
"Thirty-eight teaching troops, plus myself and Ollie, should be able to fight."
He frowned, but his eyes could not hide his worry: "Gu, I understand that from your ecumenical position, there is no need to risk your life to help. You don't have to act with us, but I only hope that you can help me with a simple matter. busy."
Han Dongwen nodded: "You say."
"There are two enemies tonight. One is the officers and soldiers of the Law Department in Tianying City, and the other is the Hanying Sect on the outer edge of Tianying City. In addition to the sect leader Yang Kai, the Hanying Sect's inner disciples may send forty or fifty people. We can be enemies. .”
When he said this, Han Dongwen was a little surprised. He had thought that the fighting ability of this grass-roots team would be worse.
Although the Han Ying Sect is not a large sect, the ultimate goal of cultivating inner disciples is to join the National Law Department. In a sense, it is not a serious sect school, but more like a special school for joining the Third Division. Change class.
But Guo Jie Ke was so sure, which Han Dongwen did not expect. It seemed that the combat effectiveness of this second group of people was much stronger.
"As for the officers and soldiers of the Law Division stationed in Tianying City, it always takes time to get here. Our plan is very simple, to stop the Hanying Sect disciples, capture the Yihong Building that the emperor values and force the Law Division to release our compatriots."
After Guo Jie Ke finished speaking, Han Dongwen nodded, pondered for a moment and asked him: "Even...even if the Chief Justice releases the people from Minluo Pharmacy, how can you leave?"
Hearing him ask this, Guo Jack's eyes dimmed a little: "This... I have my own way."
The implication is, of course, that you, Gu Hanyang, do not live and die with the people in our church, so there is no need to ask so many questions.
"So, I hope you can do us one last favor, for the sake of the church, no, for the sake of the principality."
Guo Jie Ke showed a somewhat plain smile and stretched out his hand to hand out a small silver cross pendant: "If you have the opportunity to return to the motherland, return this pendant to the church for me and pray for me again."
Han Dongwen's heart skipped a beat. The meaning of this line was too obvious. Jack Guo had no intention of going back alive.
From this point of view, they obviously wanted to divide their forces into the rear, rescue their companions, and then stay in Yihong Tower to fight to the death with a group of people. They would die after their companions left the Simeng border.
"I want to ask you a question."
Han Dongwen raised his eyes and looked at Jack Guo: "Why?"
He took the cross and held it in his hand: "Why do you have to sacrifice yourself to such an extent for the church?"
Jack Guo looked into Han Dongwen's eyes, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "This was originally a very simple and common mission. It was to pick up the companions entering the country and destroy Simeng's fortifications. I don't know what the purpose of this mission is. , and I don’t know what the church’s considerations are. It is my responsibility to complete the task after receiving it.”
"But my companions were captured, injured, and died during this mission. I want to do my best to save them. This has nothing to do with the mission, this has nothing to do with the church, Gu, this has nothing to do with the Principality of West Asia."
He took a step forward and stared at Han Dongwen's face: "Gu, we have the same skin color. I don't know what good luck you had in the past, but Oli and I, all the people in Minluo Pharmacy with Simeng blood flowing like this The people of West Asia have had to rely on each other since they were born in West Asia. Simeng was given to the five cities of West Asia. The border was in chaos. We lost our parents, let alone friends."
“Before we were taken in by the church, we lived on moldy bread covered in coal ash. In order not to freeze to death, we slept next to the coal-fired pipes in the factory and leaned against the wall against the temperature of the pipes. In the middle of the night, a drunk man peed in the corner where we slept. , at dawn there were policemen from the Grand Duke’s Residence controlling the streets, driving us away like dogs, Gu, I’m afraid it’s unimaginable for someone like you to have the opportunity to join the Grand Duke’s Residence.”
Guo Jieke took a deep breath and looked up in the direction of Yihong Building in the distance: "The church took me in and took in us war orphans with Simeng blood in our blood. This is a fact. My companions and I are in West Asia, It is a fact that we depend on each other under the protection of the church. I just want to repay my benefactor and save my companions."
After saying that, Jack Guo smiled with relief, as if he had thrown away some burden, and patted Han Dongwen on the shoulder: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Yang Aoli has brought my compatriots on standby. As long as we take down Yihong Tower, , we can place the Fire Crystals everywhere in the building before the Chief Justice arrives, and if the Chief Justice does not hand over our compatriots by then, the Fire Crystals can blow up the entire Yihong Building!"
"What if they handed over someone?" Han Dongwen asked.
"Then, I will lead a team of people to stay upstairs. When my compatriots safely leave the country and cross the Morne Mountains, I will let this building bury me with them!"
Jack Guo grinned, turned around and strode away.
"Goodbye, Gu!"
The north wind was howling, and Han Dongwen stood there, holding the cross pendant tightly in his hand.
Stop it, Jack, they're full of French people.
The person you want to save is no longer here.
They won't necessarily die, and may even survive.
Leave, leave Simeng.
These words were stuck in Han Dongwen's throat, and he still couldn't say them out for a long time.
The person who walks away in the snowy night is the enemy. No matter what the reason is, the enemy is the enemy.
Even in his eyes, until this moment you were still a helpful compatriot.
Han Dongwen put the pendant in his pocket, took a deep breath of the dry cold wind, and smiled to himself.
"Blow up my building? It's your mother's dream!"
It was rare for him to spit out curse words, but he said them very deliberately and forcefully.
It was as if he was relying on these few words to make some kind of decision for himself.
"Okay, okay, it's time to activate the players to defend the building. Let him die. Are you stopping me? I hope you run faster and send him away..."
Han Dongwen's muttering gradually became fainter and disappeared.
After watching too much, he always thought that decisive killing requires how fast the sword is and how cruel the heart is, but on this snowy night, he understood that maybe sometimes, all it takes is not to say a few words to save people.
How simple.
How difficult it is.
A burst of noise gradually came from the direction of the construction site. Han Dongwen took a deep breath, raised his legs and walked in the opposite direction, and took out the magic weapon talisman from his arms.
"Tonight, I'm here to receive the reward."
