The group of people walked into the main hall, which had mostly collapsed.
Heath put his hands behind his back, kicked away the huge rocks around him, turned around and ordered to the accompanying guards: "You guys stay out of the way, Thomas and I will talk alone."
Hear the words.
All the subordinates looked at each other, but did not immediately carry out the order.
As Hiss's personal bodyguards, their duty is to ensure the general's safety. When necessary, they will even risk their lives to block fatal attacks for him.
Logically speaking, given Thomas's seniority in the "Freedom Fist" mercenaries, he should not suddenly be disadvantageous to General Hiss.
However, in recent times, the two have often been quarreling due to disagreements.
There are often rumors in the army——
For some unknown reason, the relationship between the two people, who have been loving each other for many years, has broken down and has reached the point where they are inseparable from each other.
"What are you still doing? Get out!"
Narrow your eyes.
Heath was slightly unhappy and said with a solemn expression: "Is it possible that you are still worried that Thomas will be bad for me? It's simply inexplicable!"
There is obviously an intriguing meaning in the words.
On the other hand, the guards did not dare to continue to openly disobey orders. They quickly gave a military salute to the two of them and respectfully left the room one after another.
It doesn't take a while.
Heath and Thomas were the only two people left alone in the dilapidated hall.
"Say it."
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
Heath kept a serious tone and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think this time?"
Gritting his teeth secretly.
Thomas raised his hand and brushed back a handful of messy hair. His eyes were bright and alert, but his expression was full of doubts.
obviously.
This is probably not the first time that there have been conflicts and disagreements between the two of them, and both of them feel a little strangely tired.
"Why......"
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Thomas took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Why did you order the massacre of the city? You said that it was to frighten the enemies who were stubbornly resisting and to lower the morale of the troops of the "Ocean Federal Republic"... "
There was a pause.
Taking a sudden step forward, Thomas spread his hands and angrily shouted with a puzzled expression: "But this time, 'Boton City' has clearly surrendered. Why do you still allow the army to do these evil things!?"
"the reason is simple......"
Faced with the questioning of his most loyal subordinate.
Heath acted extremely calm throughout the whole process and responded calmly: "Because, they did not surrender to me willingly. In their bones, they still regard us as clowns jumping up and down."
"The reason why these damn politicians surrendered was because they saw the superiority of our army and wanted to take this opportunity to save their own lives!"
A hint of violence flashed between his brows.
General Hiss waved his hand and said decisively: "These damn guys, if you don't show them some color, they won't bow their heads completely!"
What seems to be a reasonable excuse is actually untenable.
Knocking on the mountain shakes the tiger, and it should be the tiger that knocks——
But what Heath is doing now is obviously harming ordinary people in the entire city, for nothing more than pure killing and bloodshed...
There was silence for a long time.
Thomas's expression gradually changed from stunned at first to extreme disappointment.
"General..."
He hesitated for a long time.
Thomas shook his head and sighed: "You have changed. You are completely different from before."
As soon as these words came out.
General Hiss in front of him was suddenly startled, and his broad shoulders trembled involuntarily.
in those days--
From the very beginning of the establishment of "Freedom Fist", Thomas has been following him, front and back, without any complaints.
But now, unconsciously, everything has changed.
"Have you forgotten why I followed you around in the first place?!"
Thomas smiled sadly, shook his head and said: "Change this cruel apocalyptic wasteland era, eliminate unreasonable rules, and let everyone live a good life without having to worry..."
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at the tall man in front of him.
Thomas scolded: "Isn't this the ideal you told me yourself back then!?"
His face was extremely gloomy.
The young man's roar filled his ears. Heath lowered his head and remained silent, unable to see the subtle changes in his expression.
"But now!"
Stretch your arms.
Thomas's eyes were full of anger, and he rebuked loudly on the spot: "Since the army invaded the territory of the 'Ocean Federal Republic', you have given orders again and again, asking us to massacre those innocent people!"
"What's wrong with them?!"
Breathing became rapid.
Thomas's eyes were red and he continued to ask: "Aren't they the ones we swore back then that we would work hard to save even if they were shattered into pieces!?"
Times have changed.
The vows made back then seem to still ring in my ears, and the ideals of my youth are full of passionate emotions.
Facing a somewhat hysterical Thomas.
Heath sighed helplessly. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain all this.
in those days.
Years of exile made him forget his true identity.
For a few years, Heath really wanted to do something for this small world.
It wasn't until Takeshi Nakayama's voice sounded in his mind that he remembered his original responsibilities.
That is to unconditionally assist his master to complete the great cause of eternal immortality and becoming the only god.
to this end.
It has become an indispensable condition to stir up endless disputes in this world and let more people die in vain in the flames of war.
During this time, everything Heath did was in service of this purpose.
No wonder Thomas was surprised, and for a time he went from disappointment to despair.
"Thomas..."
He hesitated for a long time.
Heath took a deep breath and still wanted to defend: "Historically, if you want to change something, you have to pay a huge price. If there is no bloodshed and sacrifice, there will be no change in this damn world."
"Believe me......"
Try to control your emotions.
Heath acted like a nervous father, impatiently trying to persuade his foolish son.
"The current army is only more than two hundred kilometers away from 'St. Louis'. Once we capture there, the regime of the 'Ocean Federation' will collapse in an instant."
Suddenly he took a step forward.
Heath frowned and continued to persuade him tirelessly: "At that time, the dream I told you will definitely come true!"
"enough!"
He raised his hands and stopped Heath on the spot as he tried to get closer.
Thomas shook his head silently and smiled bitterly: "Sorry, General, I don't want to continue. Along the way, all I see is mothers who have lost their children, and the never-ending war..."
Said.
The former rock star in front of him ripped off his military uniform and threw it to the ground without hesitation.
"Starting from today, I submit my resignation to you and formally apply to withdraw from "Freedom Fist"..."
took two steps back.
Thomas looked disappointed and said coldly: "My dream is to unite the world, not to become an inhumane killing machine under your command."
Hit the nail on the head.
In front of Heath's shocked face, Thomas turned around suddenly and finally chose to part ways with him.
"Haha, Huang Qiao..."
suddenly--
An evil yet familiar voice sounded in his mind almost without warning.
Takeshi Nakayama, who didn't know where he was, actually witnessed all this through his spiritual connection.
"This boy must not be left here. He knows too many secrets and plans of your army. For the sake of the overall situation, it is better for you to send him on his way in person."
I couldn't help but froze on the spot.
The tall Heath's eyes widened. For a moment, heaven and man were at war, not knowing what to do.
