Hunter's Station
Esdeath gathered the remaining people together and told everyone about the incident.
"To sum up, Xiaolin has been promoted."
"Oh oh oh! Congratulations, Xiaolin!"
Lan and Will clapped their hands and sent blessings, expressing their happiness that Xiao Lin could become the leader.
"It's just temporary."
Xiaolin waved his hand and said, "Lan and Will are also coming to help. I think it will be very hard in the future."
"Of course, I will do my part!"
Will gave a thumbs up.
Among the hunters, besides Heitong, he has the best relationship with Xiaolin, and he is sincerely ready to help.
But I'm sorry Will, I'm going to set you up.
Xiao Lin knew what his character was like, so in order to prevent unnecessary changes, he decided to temporarily withdraw him from the game. Along with Black Eyes.
night.
Will is still taking care of Black Eyes.
Due to Chelsea's poison, Heitong's drug resistance dropped rapidly, and he was so weak that he could only lie in bed and rest.
At this time, Will took the initiative to take over the responsibility of taking care of her, so the relationship between the two heated up sharply, and they just had to express their feelings to each other.
Bang bang bang——
"Sorry, I didn't disturb you."
Xiao Lin knocked on the open door, leaning on the door and looking at the two people who were so close that they were about to be immersed in each other's world.
The frightened two people quickly separated, their cheeks were slightly red and they did not dare to look at each other.
The youthful look is quite interesting.
"Ahem, it's Xiaolin."
Will coughed lightly and took the initiative to say, "What's the matter? What's wrong with coming so late?"
"It's something."
Xiao Lin didn't tease them too much. After all, it would be too pitiful for them to continue to bully them.
"About arranging defenses."
"Precaution?"
Will and Heitong turned their attention to Xiao Lin. This kind of thing was obviously a big deal, and there was no room for being shy anymore.
"I got news that the night attack will be from the south of the Imperial Capital. They are preparing to open the city gate there and let the army invade the Imperial Capital from that side."
"The south gate..."
Will held his chin and began to think.
General Bude is gathering all his troops to meet the enemy in the east, because that is the only direction where large forces can launch an attack together, but if it is a sneak attack from the south...
"Do you want to break into the imperial capital and cause chaos, and take the opportunity to open the east gate from the inside?"
"You've grown up, Will."
Will was right, that's what Night Raid and others wanted to do, but instead of letting the Revolutionary Army in, they wanted to let the Axis Cult in.
"There are too few hunter manpower now."
"Aha……"
"The most important thing is... one of the people who came to cause trouble this time is Chitong."
——Red Eyes!
Hearing this sensitive name, Kurotong, who was leaning on the bed, stiffened, and his hand unconsciously touched the Teigu [March of the Dead] beside the bed.
"Black Eyes!"
Will quickly held Heotong's hand to prevent her from touching the Teigu, his concern was palpable.
The black pupil didn't respond, but his eyes were empty and he muttered softly.
"It's my sister..."
The expression that alternated between love and hate made Will feel heartbroken. At the same time, he turned to glare at Xiaolin, as if blaming him for telling Black Eyes about this.
Xiao Lin looked calm and said indifferently: "Therefore, I want to give you a task."
block the enemy
That must be it!
Will gritted his teeth, the grief in his heart continued to increase, he clenched his fists and his anger continued to increase, reaching the edge of explosion.
It is estimated that as soon as Xiao Lin says those words, he will punch the opponent in the face. Chinese website
However--
"You two run away.
. "
"...Eh?" X2
Not only Will, but also the black pupils were stunned.
I didn't expect Xiaolin to say such a thing.
"Will, Black Eyes, you must have noticed that the Imperial City is completely hopeless, and it will be overthrown sooner or later. Therefore, I want you two to escape, at least you can survive. If you escape now, I just pretended I didn’t see it.”
"Are you kidding me, being a deserter or something..."
Will clenched his fists, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
He originally thought that Xiaolin wanted the black-eyed and red-eyed sisters to kill each other, but he didn't expect that he wanted them to escape. The shame caused by misunderstanding the other party made him not know how to express it for a while.
"Will, do you want Black Eyes to die?"
One sentence made Will suddenly wake up.
That's right, he can't let Heitong die, nor can he let Red Tong and Heitong sisters kill each other. He must save the one he likes!
"No, I can't leave."
Black Eyes forced himself to stand up from the bed, holding the Teigu to support himself.
"Black Eyes!"
"Sister...sister, she must be killed by me with my own hands. The hunter must eradicate the night attack, right?"
"But……!"
Will looked worriedly at the staggering black eyes. He wanted to help him but couldn't move.
The other party's strong will made him not know what to do for a while.
I had to ask for help.
Will looked at the source of this incident and shouted, "Xiao Lin!"
"I respect Heitong's choice."
Xiaolin's words were a bit cruel, but he was extremely biased towards Will and Heitong: "Whatever choice you make is entirely up to you. It doesn't matter whether you want to escape or face the enemy. I support your idea and send my sincere blessings. That’s all.”
If you support it, then don’t say it out loud and just let them escape!
Will wanted to cry out.
But his rationality told him that if Xiaolin didn't tell them the truth, he and Heitong would never escape with their personalities.
So the fault is not Xiaolin's fault.
Xiao Lin turned around and left, no longer caring about their choice, because no matter what they chose, exit was inevitable.
But now he has more important things to do.

palace courtyard
Xiao Lin and Liu Zi walked slowly on the lawn. Since they became the leader, they could enter and leave the palace at will, and no one dared to stop them.
Except for one person.
"Are you the new commander of the Imperial Army?"
A tall, middle-aged man with a strong aura about him walked out of the night and slowly appeared in front of Xiao Lin.
He started by asking, "What are you doing in the courtyard so late at night?"
"What would happen if I said I came specifically to see you, General Bude?" Xiao Lin replied.
Yes, it was Bude who came.
The Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army, another man with the strongest title.
"What, do you want to show off the official position you got easily, or do you want to curry favor with me so that you can gain more power?"
Bude looked down upon Xiaolin.
He believed that he and the minister were the same as each other. He relied on the minister and Esdeath to obtain the official position of commander. He even decided to take Xiaolin with him when he got rid of the minister.
However, what happened next was contrary to his understanding.
"--neither."
Xiao Lin shook his head and denied, "I just have one thing I want to ask General Bude. I hope you can help me clarify my doubts."
"What's up?"
"Why didn't you intervene when you knew about the corrupt behavior of the minister? Why did you just watch with a cold eye?"
"Oh? You and the minister are not in the same group?"
Bude was surprised by Xiaolin's words.
Can
Being able to do this made him feel very good, so he explained readily.
He said: "Because I followed the ancestral teachings that military commanders cannot interfere in politics, so I didn't take action!"
"Then you just have to watch the people of the empire live in dire straits and mourn all over the place?!" Xiaolin asked again.
"So what?!" Bude did not grasp the key to the matter. He said coldly: "My duty is to protect the royal family, not the people!"
"So that's what it is, you're Yu Zhong."
Xiao Lin sighed deeply.
"Although you are upright and old-fashioned and serve the empire wholeheartedly, you are too foolish and loyal, regardless of the consequences. You don't think about the reasons. You don't weigh the pros and cons. You only know how to do something according to orders. You don't have your own ideas! When the emperor is being deceived by others, If you don't have a clear conscience and fail to fulfill your obligations, you are really acting like a general!" Well, can't you hear it either?
Liu Zi gently placed General Bude's head at his feet. After a brief silence in the night, a column of bright red water rose into the sky like a fountain.
Plop!
The tall and burly body fell forward and fell on the lawn, dyeing the green grass bright red.
Bude's fault was inaction, but the source of this result was someone else.
so--
You're next, Minister!
