Chapter 359: Fighting with an Egg Against a Rock

"Is it unrealistic? I really can't deny it."

Nodding slightly, Mondolo sighed.

"What about you? Roach, Matt, what do you think?"

"We... don't know much about the Spark organization. Captain, why do you ask?"

The two men who were halfway through digging turned their heads and looked at the captain with pretense of confusion.

Ever since the mysterious man who claimed to be from the Starfire organization invited them to join Starfire, he has never contacted them again.

While this puzzled the two of them, they gradually put it behind them, thinking that they might not contact each other again until they graduated.

Mondolo keenly noticed that when the knight girl talked about "resisting the rule of the high-level nobles of the empire", Matt's expression suddenly became a little strange, as well as the profound look in his eyes.

Although the boy immediately covered it up, he would never mistake that look. Only the most unforgettable hatred can make a person show that kind of beast-like eyes.

"Nothing, as Miss Alyssa said, the Spark Organization is an organization created by professionals with civilian backgrounds to resist the rule of the imperial aristocracy.

As far as I know, both of them, like me, seem to be from the common people. "

With a strange smile, Mondoro looked around, suddenly blinked his scarlet eyes, and spoke slowly.

"So, as a member of the Spark Organization, I sincerely hope that the three of them can join us——"

When Mondolo said these words, both of them were shocked.

"Captain Mondolo, it turns out you are too...!"

Matt immediately looked around cautiously, fearing that their treacherous conversation would be overheard by outsiders.

"also?"

Seeing the two people's reactions, Mondolo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses.

"I see, I should have guessed it... Don't worry, Matt, I just saw the last person except us leave this cave."

As he spoke, he shook his head, dismissing Matt's worries.

"Captain, is there any order from the organization? What do we need to do next?"

Roach couldn't help but ask.

"No, there are no instructions. In fact, I'm afraid there won't be anything we need to do until we graduate. This is the organization's special protection for us.

The invitation I just extended to you is entirely a personal act of mine. "

Mondolo waved his hand, denying Roach's guess.

"Captain, you didn't even know our identities before, so you simply revealed your identity to us. Aren't you afraid that one of us will report you to the higher-ups?"

Thinking about this, Luo Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It's natural to be afraid, but wouldn't it be a pity if I just let the three possible future backbones of Sparks disappear before my eyes just because I'm worried about the risks?"

Smiling slightly, Mondolo shook his head.

"What's more, I have observed for a long time on the way here that you are not the kind of people who put interests first, nor are you the kind of people who fanatically support the rule of the empire.

So what if we take some risks for the sake of the development of the resistance? Can we still live in danger, those companions who are being hunted down by the empire's lackeys?

From ancient times to the present, has there been any change without bloodshed? "

As Mondolo finished speaking, Roach and Matt couldn't help but feel a little in awe.

"Wait...it turns out you are all...but, why?"

At this time, Alyssa, who was left alone by the three people, was already a little messy, and she quickly interrupted the three people.

After hearing so much about what she should and shouldn't hear, she began to worry that if she didn't want to join, she would be silenced directly.

"Why join the resistance?"

Mondolo glanced at Alyssa, who was a little nervous, and gently spread his hands.

“I understand that in the eyes of most nobles and ‘smart people’, we are just a few people who cannot be understood by common sense.

Maybe they don't understand why we make such a choice, why we make some futile attempts to hit stones with bird eggs, where the results can be seen at a glance. "

Shaking his head slightly, Mondolo showed a helpless look and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"This empire has oppressed us for too long. Emperor Gloria is indeed great, but she has been away from us for more than two thousand years——

And in the past two thousand years, how have those high-ranking nobles treated us? "

"Miss Alyssa, I understand. If I haven't seen it, it may be difficult to imagine those scenes. But as the son of a mercenary captain, I have seen too many injustices and tragedies before entering Pamir Academy. ”

As he spoke, Mondolo took a deep breath, as if he couldn't bear to recall those memories.

“I come from the province of Frei in the northwest of the empire, a small city called Maier, where the ruler is Baron Maier.

When I was twelve years old, I passed by the city gate with my father and saw Uncle Ken from the caravan arguing with the city guards at the city gate.

Because my father was a famous mercenary leader nearby at the time, he had cooperated with Ken's caravan many times. I know Uncle Ken has a daughter named Bessie.

We used to play together and she was very pretty, with beautiful big brown eyes. "

"But the dispute at the city gate eventually alarmed Baron Meyer, who, accompanied by his guards, looked at Ken and his caravan from a distance, and then left. From beginning to end, the baron did not say a word."

Speaking of this, Mondolo sighed.

"Later, Uncle Ken's caravan never appeared again. But in an accident, I saw Bessie again in the red-light district of the city.

She wore heavy makeup, exposed clothes, and stood on the street corner with dead eyes and numbness. Like most other women there, she only needed ten silver coins a night.

And the owner behind the red-light district was Baron Meyer himself."

"This... But this is impossible. If the caravans from afar are treated like this, which caravan will dare to pass through this town in the future?"

After hearing this cruel story, Alyssa couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, her golden red eyes full of disbelief. This is completely contrary to the way she learned to govern the territory in the academy.

"Oh, yes - so, there are fewer and fewer caravans there, and the city has become very poor. But Baron Maier is getting richer and richer. Not only did he pay the annual taxes to the upper rulers, but his own strength is getting stronger and stronger.

As business got worse and worse, my father finally led the mercenary group to leave there and became a mobile mercenary group, accepting missions throughout the northwest province of the empire.

But it is precisely because our footprints have passed through more cities that we have seen more such, even more tragic facts."

With a sarcastic sneer, Mondolo leaned on the stone pillar with a mocking expression.

"The nobles who are high above can't see all this because they are standing too far away. Just like a person who sees an ant pressed by fallen leaves, even if he notices it accidentally, he won't take it to heart.

At most, when he is in a good mood, he will move the fallen leaves away and release the ants.

But for more ants that have never been seen, the fallen leaves in the eyes of humans are an unbearable mountain in their lives-"
