"It's daybreak."
"Hiss~~~Huh! I know."
Vivian blew out a puff of smoke, turned around and looked at Shukman and said, "Hey, old man, are you ready?"
"Of course, I am always ready."
Looking at the white halo rising in the sky, Shukman smiled again. His broken teeth were slightly dazzling under the light of the oil lamp in the factory.
"Let's go and defeat the coalition forces and rescue all the civilians who were forcibly conscripted."
"good!"
Shukman stood up upon hearing this, but quickly reacted, turned to look at Vivian and said, "Just the two of us?"
"What else? Do we need someone else, the captain of the great Lemon Kingdom Guard?" Vivian teased with a smile.
Then Xukman coughed and replied seriously, "Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just asking out of curiosity. After all, you are the leader of the new government, the world-famous Thunder Swordsman. Don't you bring some navy soldiers or guards with you when you go out?"
"Won't."
Vivian shrugged. "I always like to act alone, especially when I'm disguised like this."
Looking back now, it was not the first time that Vivian had concealed her identity and blended in with the ordinary people. It really felt like a bad taste.
So, while the civilians in the factory were still asleep, Vivian and Shukman jumped onto the roof one after another and then disappeared into the morning mist.
...
"If the person behind the scenes doesn't show up and we just take action like this, can this war really end?"
On the way to the barracks in the town, Shukman suddenly said this.
Vivian, who was running in front, said without even turning his head: "Are you worried that the guy will come back and pose a threat to the people of the Ning Kingdom?"
"Uh...well, I do worry that something like this will happen again."
Shukman asked bluntly, "Thunder Swordsman, will you protect the people of the Lemon Kingdom for me after I die?"
"Well..."
Vivian did not choose to answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment before answering Shukman: "Don't worry, as long as the new government exists and I am still in power, the Kingdom of Lemon will always be under our protection. As for the person behind the scenes, I will definitely catch him and make him receive the punishment he deserves."
"I feel relieved when you say this."
Shukman smiled with relief.
He did not show any doubt because of Vivian's hesitation.
This is a trust that comes from the heart.
Although he himself was not quite sure whether this trust came from the trust in the title of Thunder Swordsman or the affirmation of Vivian's character after spending the past few days with him.
But in short, he felt very at ease at the moment, as if the stone that had been weighing on his heart for many years had finally been lifted.
Not long after, when the sky was completely bright, Vivian and Shukman finally appeared in front of the town's barracks.
It was a huge camp that was no less large than the Navy Headquarters Base. As soon as Vivian appeared at the entrance of the camp, several soldiers waiting in the front raised their flintlock rifles and pointed them at Vivian's head.
Nowadays, in the towns of the Lemon Kingdom, it is undoubtedly a very abrupt thing to see civilian men like Vivian walking on the streets.
"Who are you?"
A soldier asked Vivian very vigilantly.
"Me?"
Vivian pointed at himself and smiled, but before he could answer, Shukman jumped down from a high altitude, holding a samurai sword given to him by Vivian. With a swing, the flintlock spears in the hands of the soldiers broke into several pieces.
"Iai Slash: Unintentional Success..."
“Huh~~”
He exhaled deeply, and the moment Shukman put the blade back into the scabbard, not only did the flintlock rifle fall apart, but the eight soldiers holding the guns also suffered wounds in front of them at the same time.
Blood gushed out from his abdomen, and then he collapsed to the ground, completely losing his voice.
Vivian, who was watching this scene from behind, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and her understanding of Shukman was refreshed again.
This old man is much stronger than he imagined.
He had previously thought that Shukman's "heyday" was too long ago, and that this guy was definitely inferior to the new generation thirty or forty years later. Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Maybe he doesn't even need to take action himself. Xukman alone can eliminate all the people in the barracks.
Of course, the prerequisite is that there are no enemies with strength exceeding one billion in this military camp, because in Vivian's eyes, even if Shukman bursts out with all his strength, his peak strength is most likely around 700 to 800 million.
This was also his own guess. As for what the result would be, he had no idea.
“Someone’s invading!
”
With a shout, a large number of soldiers in the barracks gathered on the playground and looked at Shukman and Vivian with vigilance.
"Damn it! Where did you come from? How dare you trespass into the Sixty-Four Nations Alliance camp!"
The leader, a tall and thin man wrapped in bandages and holding a saber, stood in front of thousands of soldiers and shouted at Shukman.
Vivian glanced at the guy and immediately recognized him. This was the scum who had killed his companion with a grenade that day and put the blame on him.
"After persecuting his own companions, he successfully ascended to the position of commander-in-chief?" he muttered softly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Keman replied, "My name is Xu Keman, and I was the commander of the guards who served in the royal family of the Kingdom of Xiangning decades ago."
"Shukman?"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers present looked at each other, with a look of confusion in their eyes.
"That's right. How many young people today know me?"
A trace of desolation flashed across his eyes, but then Shukman drew his sword in advance, took an attacking stance, pointed the tip of the sword at the people below and said, "Hurry up, release those civilians who were forcibly conscripted into the army, otherwise, I will massacre the entire military camp today!"
"A bloodbath?"
The soldiers couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"You are just an old man. You want to massacre our entire military camp? Are you kidding me?"
Excluding the 150,000 recruits, the number of their combined forces alone reached 300,000.
Three hundred thousand people!
What is the concept
I'm afraid that if one of them spits, the two people in front of me will be drowned by them.
However, the tall and thin soldier had just finished speaking.
ever!
The blade is unsheathed.
Shukman's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
