The moment Edward woke up, he felt the pain in his neck.
Gradually waking up, Edward began to recall everything that had just happened.
The 'imperial envoy' arrived at the police station.
Then, in the name of assisting in the investigation, let him go to the military camp.
Edward was not surprised.
It was rumored before that this 'imperial envoy' was dissatisfied with his 'unfavorable handling of affairs'.
Therefore, it is naturally fake to assist in the investigation or something.
It is true that he should be blamed!
Edward was well aware of this.
And he was ready.
At worst, he took off his uniform and returned home to inherit his father's factory.
But different from Edward's imagination, he was directly stunned when he got into the car of the 'imperial envoy'.
The feeling of hitting the neck with a military stun gun is definitely not something ordinary people are willing to try.
Not only pain, but the slightest mistake is death.
Even for people who are really familiar with it, it is difficult to control this.
And this also represents the true attitude of that 'imperial envoy'!
Don't care about his life or death!
Has killing intent on him!
Almost instantly, Edward, who regained consciousness, sorted out all this.
Then, he moved his hands and feet slightly.
He wants to test whether he is bound.
Unexpectedly, Edward found that his hands and feet were not bound, and there were no ropes on his body.
"are you awake?"
A familiar voice sounded.
That 'imperial envoy'!
Edward, who was seen through, was not pretending, he opened his eyes, and then, moving his painful neck, he quickly adjusted his state, but the situation in front of him was somewhat beyond his expectations.
This is a tent.
To be precise, it is a marching tent.
Edward, who was born in the army, is too familiar with all this.
However, compared to the marching tents that Edward knew, this tent was much more luxurious.
Not only is there a thick carpet on the floor, but there are also carved solid wood furniture around it. On a round table, there are also fruits that are hard to see in winter and an unknown thing covered with black silk cloth.
And the 'imperial envoy' was sitting at the round table, just across from him.
The other party held a cup of coffee in his hand, and the spoon slowly stirred it. When the dense air of the coffee rose, it enveloped the other party's face.
It's blurry, but it seems to have a sense of distortion.
call!
The 'imperial envoy' breathed out, and the rising heat from the coffee was blown away, revealing the other party in a red suit, with long golden hair falling down the shoulders of the other party's cheeks, and silky eyes in the narrow blue eyes. Si smiled and looked at him, the white windbreaker was hanging on the side, and the thin sword with sheath and guard was standing under the hanger.
"Very good physical fitness."
"If you go through real training, I'm afraid you can become one of the official members of the 'Ghost Squad'."
"I regret picking you now."
The other party said with a smile.
pick me
What's the meaning
Edward frowned.
The 'imperial envoy' continued to explain to Edward with a smile.
"Why do you think you became the leader of the special operations team in Xinde City?"
"Why you and not someone else?"
"Just because Micah was your instructor?"
"Is not it?"
Edward poked his neck back and asked.
This kind of action made his neck, which had just been clicked, more and more painful, but Edward resisted it and did not make a sound.
"of course not."
"I need someone who is related to Micah."
"But what I need more is a person who has shown integrity and fairness in normal times."
The smile on the corner of the other party's mouth suddenly became bright.
different from the previous habits.
This time the smile was from the heart.
But it was precisely because of this that Edward's hairs stood on end.
malicious!
Unabashed malice!
Just like a poisonous snake jumping out of a bush, it is not only ferocious, but also extremely deadly.
Seeing Edward's stiff face, the 'imperial envoy' smiled brighter.
He continued:
"People, it's always like that."
"They admire noble people, but they also like noble people to become inferior and inferior to themselves."
"It's human nature."
"But I just obeyed their nature and let them see what they like to see - how an upright and just man degenerates step by step, blinding the heroic 'ghost squad' and making them commit numerous crimes .”
Having said that, the 'imperial envoy' took a sip of his coffee.
"nonsense!"
"You are talking nonsense!"
"No one will believe it."
Edward couldn't bear it anymore, and roared angrily.
"Hush!"
The imperial envoy held coffee in his left hand, held a small spoon with the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, raised his index finger and placed it next to his mouth, making a silent gesture.
"You don't need to judge things like this."
"Instead, leave it to others, to those foolish people."
"They'll make you understand what 'just' really is."
As he spoke, the imperial envoy put down the coffee in his hand, and instead of putting the small spoon into the cup, he put it upside down in the saucer, with the protruding side of the spoon facing upwards.
He tidied up his red suit a little, and spoke again in a leisurely manner.
"I regretted choosing you before."
"Now?"
"I have no regrets."
"Because you're so stupid."
"I told you enough, but you are entangled in some trivial matters, don't you wonder why I have the ability to make you the leader of the special operations team?"
The other party looked at Edward jokingly.
That look is like some cats, teasing their prey.
Both exciting and... cruel.
"Why?"
Edward clenched his fists and asked.
"Because I am Mottous!"
"Brigadier General Mottous!"
"'Ghost Squad' used to be directly under the chief!"
The 'imperial minister' finally said the answer.
And when he heard the name Mottous, Edward was completely stunned.
Because, according to the information he knew, the reason why the 'Ghost Squad' was considered a betrayal was because they killed their immediate commander, Mottous.
But the person in front of him claimed to be Mottous.
That betrayal naturally does not exist.
If the betrayal does not exist, then all the actions of the 'Ghost Squad' will follow orders.
scam!
Big scam!
The opponent arranged such a big game!
Just for, for...
Dawn. The Pruss family!
Although the specific situation, Edward does not know.
However, he is 60% sure that Motous in front of him is for the Chenxi Pruss family!
Similarly, such a useful tool as the 'Ghost Squad', naturally cannot be given up!
Naturally, someone who takes the blame is needed.
And he is the one who took the blame!
The one who was chosen from the very beginning!
call!
Having figured out the general situation, Edward let out a long breath, and then—
Straight to Mottous!
Although Edward is stubborn most of the time, he is definitely not a pedantic person.
Others have already plotted against him in every possible way.
He will no longer be passively beaten.
Hijack the other party, get out of here, and make another plan!
With such thoughts in his heart, Edward kept his forward posture unchanged, raised his right hand and grabbed Mottous' throat.
For his own blow, Edward has considerable confidence.
In addition to shooting, his fighting level is also quite superb.
Even when I came to Xindecheng, I didn't fall behind, and I trained every day.
only…
Such a blow was missed.
Motous, who was clearly in front of his eyes, just disappeared from his sight, and then, his knee suddenly felt painful.
Snapped!
In the crisp sound, Mottous withdrew his toes.
And Edward had already knelt down on one knee.
"Thank you."
"In order to make the 'sacrifice' complete."
"I didn't smash your knee."
The 'imperial envoy' said so, but raised his foot and slapped Edward in the face.
Edward rolled to the corner of the tent, and the imperial envoy sat down again.
He looked at Edward who was struggling to stand up in the corner of the tent, but couldn't get up anyway, and couldn't help laughing again.
"Do you really think I'm careless in letting you 'act freely'?"
"What an ignorant fool."
"This is also the difference between us, why I am a brigadier general, controlling everything, and you are just a chess piece that is abandoned at will."
Edward wanted to repudiate the other party's words.
But the kick just now not only made him dizzy, but more importantly, it made his entire mouth numb, as if he had lost consciousness. Let alone speaking, Edward knew that the lower half of his cheek was numb. Disappeared.
But the imperial envoy didn't pay attention to Edward. He turned around slightly, raised his hand and tore off the black silk covering the round table beside the fruit plate.
Sliding down without a sound, the thing under the silk cloth finally appeared in Edward's vision.
Crystal ball? !
Edward was taken aback.
He never thought that he would see such a thing as a crystal ball in the military tent.
"You're really not smart."
"What are the glasses you wear for?"
"Is it just to make myself appear smarter and more temperamental?"
The imperial envoy shook his head, with helplessness appearing on his face.
Edward's performance made him feel very unfulfilled.
What he wants to see more is the shock of the other party after knowing everything.
Instead of being sluggish and overwhelmed like now.
"'Sacrifice'!"
"Chenxi. The Prussian family is a 'sacrifice'!"
"It's hard to find a 'sacrifice' with a long history and a long bloodline. The Chenxi Pruss family was selected out of thousands of thousands by me. They meet all the requirements of 'that'."
"Unfortunately, the number is too small."
"I had to lay out and gather them together."
"Fortunately, I did a good job."
The 'imperial envoy' seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he added another sentence.
"Of course, you are also a 'sacrifice'."
"However, compared with the sacrifice and 'that', you, the sacrifice and those ignorant fellows, are just the 'sacrifice' among the 'sacrifices'."
"Who is 'that'?"
Edward, who finally regained consciousness slightly, asked directly.
And such a question made the 'imperial envoy' shake his head and sigh.
"I like talking to smart people."
"You are so stupid."
"Or, are you blind and deaf? You don't know the strange things that have happened in the past five years?"
The other party didn't give an answer, but just reminded him a little, and looked forward to looking at Edward.
But this time, Edward finally came back to his senses.
He thought of the rumors that five years ago, in October of PY81, a huge phantom appeared in the sky above the "Lanqiao Blockade". It is said that the phantom was so huge that it spanned the entire battlefield, and the witnesses on both sides died within a week. .
Then, Edward thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.
"You betrayed humanity!"
Edward growled.
"betray?"
"No, no no."
"It was just a roundabout rescue."
"I'm just using my own way to save the world. Narrow-minded people like you won't understand, so...you should be the 'sacrifice' of the 'sacrifice'."
The 'imperial envoy' smiled, and it wasn't me who was wrong, but your look.
"Do you think you're going to succeed?"
Edward asked.
"of course!"
"Or do you think it was my carelessness that your subordinate left?"
"It's not enough for you to be the 'sacrifice' of the 'sacrifice' alone, there should be other people."
"For example: that Jason?"
As soon as the 'imperial envoy' finished speaking, the angry Edward rushed over again.
But the next moment, he was kicked away again.
Seeing Edward who rolled into the corner of the tent again, Mottous ignored him.
Because, at this time, a sound of winter thunder exploded into the sky.
Rumble!
The sudden Donglei made Mottous raise his head.
"Did you hear that?"
"Even the sky is firing a salute for me."
"I was destined to be the one who created the 'new world'."
"And you?"
"It is destined to be written into the history books and nailed to the pillar of historical shame."
Mottous raised his hands high and shouted loudly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was enjoying this moment, and the smile on his face tended to be sick.
After more than ten seconds, Mottous put down his hands.
He looked at Edward who was struggling from the corner of the tent again, but staggered and fell to the ground again.
Pooh!
Edward, speechless, spit at Mottous to express his anger.
But Mottous easily dodged it.
At this time, the crystal ball on the table lit up.
Inside the crystal ball, there appeared Old Teddy, the patriarch of Chenxi Prussian family.
This middle-aged man is leading a group of 30 people to arrange a complicated secret technique.
Seeing this scene, Mottous couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed out loud.
Everything is as he expected.
Just when he was about to wait patiently, suddenly—
bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Fierce gunshots and explosions sounded.
"what happened?"
Mottous asked with a frown.
"Report to Your Excellency, Brigadier General, someone has attacked the barracks!"
"However, it has been repulsed!"
"We also captured a prisoner!"
The orderly replied.
Then, Griffin, who was tied up, was pushed in.
When he heard the sound of guns and guns, Edward's heart rose to his throat, and he subconsciously thought of little Bancy.
With little Bansy's impulsiveness, he will definitely be able to do things like hitting a pebble against a rock.
Moreover, Banxi's usual collection also gave him the courage to do so.
Therefore, Edward was a little surprised when he saw Griffin, but then he was moved and annoyed.
What moved him was that Griffin would come to his rescue.
He was annoyed that Griffin would come to his rescue.
"What are you guys doing?"
Edward yelled at Griffin, but his eye circles were red.
He knew what would happen to the captured Griffin.
"When I retreated, I sprained my ankle."
Griffin showed an embarrassed expression, still as unreliable as ever.
"you you… "
"I owe you."
Edward stared at Griffin, and finally, thousands of words turned into an apology.
He is really sorry.
He didn't think he could repay Griffin for saving his life.
This made Edward even more regretful.
But looking at this scene, Mottous couldn't help laughing again.
"Hahaha!"
"Stupid Edward."
"Stupidity is indeed contagious."
"You're a fool, and so are your friends!"
Such laughter made Griffin raise his eyebrows.
"Yes, a fool's friend is a fool."
"And what about the fool's enemies?"
"Is it a fool?"
"It must be!"
"Besides, you, a newbie fool, will definitely be pulled to the same starting line by us, and then you will be defeated by our rich experience!"
Griffin nodded again and again, speaking provocatively.
"Beat me?"
Motous walked towards Griffin with a cold face, and kicked Griffin to the ground with one kick.
Then, he stepped on Griffin's cheek and asked word by word.
"Now you, how can you defeat me?"
"Let him go!"
Edward looked at Griffin whose cheek was stepped on, and immediately rushed towards Mottous.
It's a pity that such a collision is useless.
Motous dodged the impact with a dodge, and at the same time kicked Edward down again.
Moreover, it is clever.
He intentionally let Edward fall on top of Griffin.
Then
He stepped on the two of them.
Edward was stepped on his back, and the suffocation made his eyes black.
The same force permeated Griffin's body.
However, Edward found that Griffin was actually laughing.
Yes.
Griffin was laughing.
There was ease in that smile.
Motous could not see such a smile.
He only saw two poor people who he guessed were under his feet.
He only saw his own victory.
He only saw his own future.
Rumble!
There was another sound of winter thunder.
Amidst the sound of winter thunder, Mottous raised his head and roared in high spirits.
"I am the king of the world!"
High-pitched, excited voices echoed in the tent.
But Donglei made one sound after another.
Rumble!
Rumble!
This made Mottous even more excited.
He was immersed in the sound of the salute given to him by God.
After turning around gracefully, he was so excited that he didn't notice a bulge in the tent behind him.
next moment-
Bulge burst!
A tall figure holding a machete with a wide blade and a short handle has already burst into the tent.
The sharp blade in his hand sank directly into Mottous' vest.
puff!
