The cleanup ended as the sun set.
In the alleyway, which was more than a hundred meters long, dozens of times the number of people fought here in just one afternoon. By the time it ended, there was no place where they could normally set foot. It took the security forces a long time just to clear a passage for the carriage to drive out.
Taking care of everyone in the car, Yoya held the car door with his hand when passing through to avoid seeing the tragic situation outside. Everyone was very cooperative and did not let excess pride get in the way. But even if the car door is closed and the curtains are drawn, the strong and disgusting smell will still make people feel strong discomfort.
When the carriage left the alley and came to the road, An opened the curtain again.
Just as he was about to talk to Lord Willit like this, An felt the touch of Miku's tight grip on his arm again. He realized the current mental state of his companions, and turned to Joa and said: "Please, Sir Joa, send them to a resting place."
His words stimulated everyone who was a little mentally sensitive at this time.
"An!" Mei Ke was a little excited.
Everyone else in the troupe looked at An, and Liliana took a deep breath and glared at her bravely.
They didn't want to back down at this time, and the pressure in their hearts made everyone stubbornly believe that if they backed down, it would be a violation of the promise they had made before.
An's companions were not the only ones who were under great psychological pressure. Yoya's condition was also very uncomfortable, and he didn't even pay attention to Meiko's shouts.
Hearing An's instructions, he interpreted the subsequent reactions of others as a disagreement between An and his companions, so he chose to remain silent for the time being.
"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, so don't get hung up on one thing." An said vaguely to prevent Yoya from reacting, "Go and rest first. After I thank Lord Willit, I will come back with Lian. "
Mei Ke and others understood what An meant and slowly calmed down. Liliana and Otoru didn't react, but were blocked by Shinozuki and Jerry.
Ann smiled, and then said to Yoya: "That will be troublesome."
"Where." Yoya smiled a little reluctantly.
It's disgusting to say it. Although he didn't react much when faced with danger, now that the matter is over, the tragic situation after the war has challenged his bottom line as a civilian to the greatest extent, and he also has important tasks. , he really wants to leave here as soon as possible.
It's human nature, An doesn't find it strange.
Even if it is the enemy who caused the tragic situation, human instinct is difficult to control with a will that has not been tempered personally.
Whether it is the acting troupe, Liliana, or Yoya, their mental toughness is outstanding enough based on their past experiences, but it is still slightly insufficient in the face of cruel killings.
An opened the car door and landed on the ground. The disgusting smell hit her face.
A question suddenly came to mind.
what about me?
Who am I?
An, who didn't realize there was anything wrong with him, was distracted for a moment because of his "abnormality".
He didn't bother to communicate with Lord Willett first, but glanced in the direction of the alleyway.
The unsightly sight was like an invisible hand that instantly clamped An's head.
Look, this is your plan.
Don't look away, you did this.
Or do you want to blind your heart by saying that you did not kill these people yourself? Or are they all criminals? Are these all heinous people? Will they kill you if you don't plan a counterattack?
So are they doing this voluntarily?
Is it really?
Can you make them surrender just by killing the messenger?
…
"..."
I……
"install--"
A pair of hands cupped An's cheeks, pointing him toward the carriage.
Miku placed a gentle kiss on An's forehead in a shaky position.
"Come back early and be safe."
Miku's words made An's eyes gradually clear.
Miku's force was on An, which caused his cheeks to deform a little, but his figure didn't show any instability.
If not, the two of them would definitely fall down in their current position.
"...Well, I understand."
An grabbed Miku's arm, pressed her shoulders, and helped her back to the car.
Miku's eyes remained on An until they both smiled at the same time.
"Then let's go first." Miku waved his hand.
"Next time, remember not to be so messy. What if you fall?"
"whee--"
Miku took the initiative to close the car door.
The carriage was escorted by a temporarily formed team of escorts in relatively good condition and began to move.
Miku didn't look away until he was far away and lowered the curtains.
When she turned around, everyone looked at her strangely, especially Jerry, who had an angry face that he had never seen before.
"What...what happened?"
"Tsk, can you get out of here and get married?!"
Jerry's words received unanimous praise.
…
"If my guess is correct, that is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Theater Company, right?" Lord Willett looked at the carriage going away, the expression on his face was a mixture of exhaustion and ridicule, which seemed a little weird, "Her beauty and beautiful voice Singing has been spreading here for a long time."
"Yes." An looked normal and even confessed proactively, "She is my fiancée."
Seeing that the teasing was useless, Lord Willit's expression calmed down a bit: "I have heard about this too. Now it seems that the two of you are really a match made in heaven."
In the eyes of Lord Willett, it is rare in the world for a young girl to have the courage to step out of the carriage in such an environment and leave a caring message to her lover.
"Thank you." An nodded politely, raising the corners of his mouth a little.
An calmed down his mood and put on the attitude of talking about business.
"I was rude just now. Thank you Lord Willett for your willingness to cooperate with my plan and catch these villains in one go."
"If so, it's obvious that your Excellency helped us wipe out the criminals in one fell swoop, haha!" After laughing, Lord Willit looked at the alleyway with a solemn expression, "I just didn't expect the criminals to be so numerous. If I could do it alone, I don’t know how much time it will take to find them out. It’s me who I want to thank!”
Lord Willett solemnly performed a military etiquette on An.
"It doesn't have to be this way. This matter is beneficial to both of us."
After being polite, An said: "If it's convenient, could you tell me the final situation?"
"Of course you can! My adjutant came here to report before that when the security army joined the battle, the enemy was already a remnant. Thanks to your army, we did not lose any personnel, but a few brothers were injured by the enemy's counterattack. Arrived, but nothing serious.”
Lord Willett frowned.
"But the strange thing is that when the enemies saw that the situation was over, they suddenly started killing each other. Some people actually swung their swords to kill themselves when they were unable to move. There were also some people who had clearly broken down emotionally, but then they attacked their companions. This resulted in At the end of the battle, the enemies are almost dead, and the survivors we captured are now half-crazy, and we won’t be able to find out anything in a short time.”
"..."
Seeing An's silence, Lord Willit, who thought he was troubled by the current situation, continued: "My adjutant is still working hard, but it will probably take a lot of time."
As soon as Lord Willett finished speaking, an officer from the security army who had met An and the others several times before came over. It seems that he is Lord Willett's lieutenant.
"Lord, I still haven't asked anything!"
Lord Willit looked at him in surprise, shook his head, then looked at the sky, and said: "Let the brothers clean up the battlefield first, and take the captured people back to the prison for interrogation slowly. Remember to be cautious, they are among the few. There aren’t many clues left, maybe there’s someone behind it.”
"Yes!" the adjutant responded, and then moved closer so that he could hear more clearly.
Lord Willit continued: "Then we will send people to check on the resettlement situation of the residents and comfort them. Don't let them return for the time being until the smell here dissipates..."
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that the adjutant was getting closer and closer, but his position was closer to An's back. Then the adjutant called him "Lord" unfamiliarly just now came to mind...
Lord Willett realized something was wrong and shouted: "Stop!"
Almost at the same time, a sharp blade slipped out of the "Adjutant's" arm armor and stabbed directly towards the vital part of An's back!
Seeing that the "adjutant" was about to succeed, Lord Willett had no time to push An away.
How could the resourceful strategist avoid this fatal blow? !
With such thoughts, Lord Willit was extremely worried.
"Bang!—Crack!"
"Well!!"
As it turned out, the one who groaned was the "adjutant" who made the sneak attack.
"Click——"
The hand that crushed the "adjutant's" bones used another force. An raised his head and looked at the "adjutant". There were a few bloodshot streaks in the whites of his eyes, and there was a faint golden light flowing in the pupils.
His tone contained uncontrollable anger and he said:
"I've been waiting for you for too long!"
