"Your face is still so annoying"
"Thank you for the compliment"
Joey found a stool and sat down at random, and said calmly:
"Tell me, how could it be like this?"
Judging from the information gathered along the way, among the three parties, this side is the strongest and has the largest number of people in the team.
He really couldn't figure out why such a force was defeated.
Whether it is the rebel army led by the second prince or the knights of the Enge royal family, although their strength is generally high, you must know that the number of teams composed of civilians is huge.
The existence of the law of conservation means that those in high positions do not dare to slaughter living beings wantonly, and they will not participate in wars, which will pollute the divinity in the body and lead to mental loss of control.
In other words, in the case of one to one hundred, the civilian army led by Beckett lost.
Beckett raised his eyebrows, a trace of darkness flashed across his deep eyes, and his voice was full of helplessness and decadence.
"The second prince rebelled, and we were attacked from both sides. We are lucky to have escaped."
"Is that so?" Joey touched his chin, looking thoughtful, with a cunning look in his eyes.
At the same time, I also lamented the changeable and cunning nature of human nature.
But from another perspective, I can barely understand it.
No matter how fierce the battle between the royal family is, it is still a whole. If you, a commoner, intervene, you have the greatest chance of victory among the three parties. If you don't do it, who will do it?
If he were from the perspective of the second prince, he would first deal with the external enemies and then go back to settle the internal disputes.
Originally, this team did not have high-end combat power, and its only advantage was the number of people.
With the combination of Charles and Engel, and the advantage gap narrowing, it makes sense that the civilian army would lose.
"Joy, take Alyssa away, I know you have this ability now"
Joey sarcastically said:
"Beckett, this isn't like you!"
Hearing Joey's words, Beckett had helplessness in his eyes, smiled bitterly, and lamented:
"No matter how high an ant jumps, it's just an ant. An elephant can trample it to death with just one kick."
"Yes!" Joey seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice, he was not that little bug at the mercy of others.
. . .
Joey slowly walked out of Beckett's cabin, and Alyssa ran over excitedly, seeming to want to hug Joey.
Joey raised her eyes and glared. She rubbed her right hand with her left hand aggrievedly, lowered her head, and pouted her little face.
He takes a step and she follows, like a clingy little bean curd.
After about ten seconds, she spoke in a soft voice:
"Are you leaving me again?"
Joey, who was deep in thought, suddenly stopped, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he glanced at her, and then answered calmly:
"I won't do it again. I'm here just to take you away this time."
"Really?" Alyssa stared in disbelief. She had long been fed up with being stared at by a group of people and having her food, clothing, housing and transportation controlled by others. From beginning to end, all she yearned for was freedom.
"Let's go!"
Joey took the initiative to reach out his hand, and Alyssa happily took it without any hesitation.
"Don't we need to say goodbye to Beckett? In fact, he is very good to me!"
"No need! Let's go"
Alyssa was surprised that none of the guards stopped her. This was clearly not the case before.
The swaggering departure was due to Joey's ability.
He didn't go far, but found a place to hide nearby.
Within a moment, I saw a large number of legionnaires on horseback, rushing here in a hurry, and a fight quickly broke out between the two groups.
The civilian army led by Beckett fled in the opposite direction and soon disappeared with their pursuers.
In fact, this result is what Joey doesn't want to see, sacrificing others in exchange for a chance to escape.
Those soldiers who fought hard did not know that they were kings and goddesses who had left the team.
Alyssa just doesn't like to think about complicated things, which doesn't mean she's stupid. Looking at those soldiers, she also knew what happened. Her eyes darkened for a while, and her mood fell to the bottom.
There was a trace of mist in her eyes:
"Joy, I made a mistake, I'm sorry!"
Joey stared into Alyssa's eyes and suddenly remembered many things, including the first time they met, she was like a helpless and pitiful kitten.
He obviously doesn't know how to lie, yet he still tells lies full of loopholes.
For Alyssa, he couldn't talk about the love between men and women, but more like her innocent heart.
In this world where there is no sunshine, people are suspicious of each other, and full of calculations, a pure heart is particularly precious.
And I got some information from Beckett.
Alyssa is not only a noble, but also a high-status one. She is the eldest daughter of Emperor Enge, sister of Charles, and the eldest princess of the Senegal Empire.
It is hard to imagine that such an identity would appear in the outer city.
You will be happy because of a piece of potato, and you will be excited because of a piece of clothing full of patches.
From her mouth, there is no complaint about the environment and life, and she is full of positivity and sunshine.
I'm afraid it was also because of this identity that Wayne made an excuse to say something about his marionette identity in order to reasonably let Alyssa go, because he knew the other party's identity and couldn't kill her.
As for the person who caused Beckett to assassinate Alyssa, his identity has been guessed at all.
When he learned this information, Joey was really shocked.
I originally thought that Wayne was behind everything Beckett planned.
It turns out that he was mistaken. Before the incident at Earl Allen's Mansion, Wayne's identity was Tony Creevey, a clean retired soldier of the empire.
There is someone else behind the scenes.
Michelet Winter is also considered an old enemy, Katrin's elder, and one of the demigods of the Pavilion Old Group.
The reason why Alyssa is pursued is because of the technology she has mastered.
The kingdom has been in decline over the years, and the harsh living environment can only account for part of it.
The real reason is the corruption of the totalitarians. They do not want to see a country with a good harvest and cannot allow this to happen.
The fundamental power that the nobles control is resources. They occupy land and control resources. If the people at the bottom want to have enough to eat, they will never be able to turn over.
Just imagine what would happen if Alyssa's experiment was successful and promoted on a large scale.
National turmoil is small, but political instability is certain.
No one who is used to the feeling of being superior to others will give up.
Therefore, even as the eldest daughter of the emperor, she had to escape from the imperial city. It was not only the people in power who wanted her dead, but no one in the aristocracy wanted her alive.
But what Michelit didn't expect was that Beckett, contrary to his will, not only did not kill Alyssa, but also used her to form a large army.
However, Beckett also did not expect that among superiors, there are no eternal enemies and friends. The melee situation one second ago turned into a siege in the blink of an eye, which caught him off guard.
They were originally a miscellaneous army, relying on the accumulation of numbers to move forward. Relying on that momentum, they fought consecutively and entered the imperial city.
The defeat came together, and in an instant, the building collapsed and the army was completely defeated.
It is hard to believe that Alyssa, who was originally born into the royal family, would develop such a character, like an innocent girl who has not experienced anything in the world.
Maybe it's because I have a good father.
Beckett also revealed the news that the person in charge of the royal family now is Michelet Winter. As for the titular emperor, he is just a puppet. The real emperor died a few months ago.
That was the time when Alyssa appeared, which can also explain why Alyssa was able to escape because it was the old emperor's arrangement before his death.
Due to his identity, Michelit did not dare to conduct a large-scale search openly, and Alyssa did not dare to reveal it rashly.
In this tacit situation, the only option is to send out irrelevant people, preferably to kill Alyssa without anyone noticing.
This meant that he had used his qualifications to enter the city to trick Beckett into doing something, and he had sent the task through several people, so no one would be suspicious.
Looking at Alyssa's pale little face, Joey comforted her gently:
"You didn't do anything wrong, it was the world that was wrong."
He raised his eyes and looked at the colorful sky, which was the tail wing of the 'Color of Stars'.
He reached out and gently touched Alyssa's head.
Poor child, I'm afraid he still doesn't know that Emperor Enge is dead.
Alyssa looked at Joey suspiciously, her watery eyes filled with tears, and she leaned into Joey's arms.
Her voice was choked with sobs and she said, "I don't understand why we have to fight and kill each other."
While he was talking, a cavalry column happened to fly by.
Just when Joey thought the danger was over and was about to leave in the other direction, the group of cavalry suddenly turned back, and a group of cavalry also surrounded them from the other direction.
The place was not big to begin with, and Joey's abilities were not always activated. Due to carelessness, he was now surrounded. Looking at the fierce-looking soldiers around him, he frowned.
It’s broken, it’s finished!
The two of them stood there, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be stabbed to the core by the halberd.
These people surrounded but did not kill them. It was obvious that they had ulterior motives.
Looking at this situation, Joey secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Without taking action immediately, there is still the possibility of negotiation.
At the same time, he was also confused. It was more like these people were looking for him and Alyssa deliberately than unintentionally. It was as if they knew they were in this area and had searched back and forth several times. This was why he did not go far rashly. reason.
Unless someone snitches?
Soon, the surrounding team dispersed, and a figure was carried out on a frame. Seeing the man's face, Joey sneered:
"It's really you, Beckett!"
Joey's hair was stranded. From this moment on, anyone who spoke except himself would treat it as fart and would not believe a word he said.
Who would have thought that Beckett, who was dragging his body half-dead, would actually get involved.
Who said, 'When a man is about to die, his words are good'
What a dog, I want to drag you down even if I die.
"Didn't think so, Joey!"
"I really didn't expect it!" He didn't deny it, but Joey couldn't figure out what benefits Beckett would get from doing this?
Then he asked: "Why bother!"
Wouldn't it be better to die with a positive image? At least there will be someone to remember you.
Alyssa raised her head and looked at Beckett who appeared innocently, her eyes full of joy.
"You're okay, that's great!" She was even glad that Beckett was not killed by the pursuers.
Maybe it was because Alyssa's words touched a certain nerve in him.
Beckett's originally calm mood turned violent in an instant. His hands frantically tore at the bandages wrapped around his body, revealing a face covered with ravines and ulcerated skin, which were the sequelae of wound infection.
"You know? How much I hate seeing that face of yours, I want to tear it apart and destroy it!"
The wounds on his face oozed red blood, and combined with Beckett's crazy expression, there was a strange horror.
Joey did not respond, and gently held Alyssa's hand. All he could do now was to stay with her and give her as much sense of security as possible.
Alyssa was so perfect, so perfect that every time he saw her, Beckett would see his own ugliness in her.
Once the seeds of jealousy take root, they tend to grow until they cannot be eradicated.
Beckett complained about his unwillingness, the injustice of the world, and his birth. Venting negative emotions.
Joey glanced sideways meaningfully at the 'Color of Stars' hanging not far away.
It was as if he was the only one who could see, something Joey had discovered a long time ago.
It seems that only he can capture the form and color of the 'Color of Stars'.
In the eyes of many people, this is just a weather change that is slightly different from the past.
Pfft~
The sound of a sharp object being penetrated interrupted Beckett's accusation.
The blade passed through the back and came out through the chest.
The strong man in red armor withdrew the knife with disdain and kicked Beckett in the back. His eyes were sharp and he had an incredulous expression. He turned his neck with difficulty, hoping for someone to take action against him.
His Adam's apple was squirming, and he couldn't say a word. There was only a mouth full of blood, and he felt deeply unwilling.
Joey shook his head and sighed: "What you look like now is so pathetic!"
In fact, he couldn't understand Beckett's mood, after all, Alyssa was too perfect.
But he never thought about destroying it. It was more of a kind of protection. He wanted to protect her innocence and didn't want the filth of this world to corrode her.
She was meant to be, carefree, flying freely.
Joey suddenly remembered something. A few months ago, Beckett was not like this. He could clearly feel that his care for Alyssa came from the bottom of his heart.
What has he gone through to make him what he is now? Is it because of Him?
'Color of Stars' can best mobilize the dark side of people's hearts.
Beckett was originally a screen master. During this time, he often treated mental illness for the soldiers in his team.
The wars were frequent and there was no chance for him to cleanse his negative mental energy, which affected him and distorted his personality. It is not difficult to understand.
Maybe only a pure person like Alyssa would not be affected.
However, in Senegal, under the background of being able to kill people and sell goods just for a bite of food, silly Baitian can only be said to be extinct.
As Beckett died unwillingly, a dull voice sounded.
"The chirping continued, but now it's quiet."
With Alyssa behind him, Joey stared at the strong man opposite with a wary expression.
As long as the other party dares to make any abnormal move, he will not hesitate to take out his gun and shoot.
The strong man glanced at Joey and spat disdainfully.
Then he bowed respectfully and made a gesture of invitation.
"Please, eldest princess!"
