Chapter 353 The Two Who Departed

Although the soldiers in the barracks had roughly controlled the assassin, they couldn't help but be surprised at this time, they were still people who knew the general.

The development after that was somewhat unexpected. Isaiah transferred a large tent to block the view from the outside, and then several mages set up a safe isolation barrier, and the two began to talk in the tent.

"Okay, now we can say a few words in silence."

Isaiah wore a coat and sat on a precious wooden chair, watching the assassins standing opposite the barrier. A small sound transmission device was placed in front of the two to transmit the sounds on both sides of the barrier.

"Talk to me, an assassin, aren't you afraid of being suspected by the upper levels of the Western Empire?" Rock replied lightly.

"It's still for the sake of others, Rock. It's incredible that someone like you can go the way of an assassin." Isaiah shook her head.

"My position in the Western Empire is more stable than you think. Forget it, this is not something worth mentioning, but for you, I have too many questions to ask and understand."

"In exchange, I can also answer you some less important things." He leaned back in the chair, folded his legs, and waited for the assassin on the opposite side to think.

Soon, there was a response from the other side.

"Go ahead."

"It was like this." Isaiah showed a smile similar to when he was a teenager. Although he has matured a lot, it can be seen that he still retains a lot of past habits.

"Did you take Princess Aveline and make her queen?"

"Yes." The answer is simple, and there is no more explanation.

"Very well, it's your time to ask."

"Are you absolutely loyal to the Western Empire?" Rock said

"No." Likewise, Isaiah didn't explain why.

Isaiah: "Do you want the Western Empire to end?"

Rock: "Yes."

Rock: "Do you want the Western Empire to dominate the entire territory?"

Isaiah: "Yes"

Isaiah: "Do you want the Eastern Empire to dominate the entire territory?"

Rock: "No."

Isaiah: "This is interesting, since you don't have this idea, you still support the queen to be enthroned."

Rock: "How can you give up your allegiance to the Western Empire?"

Isaiah: "This issue is really complicated. I can only say that allegiance to the Western Empire is my only choice. Rock, I'm different from you."

Isaiah: "Although you are here to kill me, I still want to ask at the end, have you still not forgotten your childhood thoughts?"

Rock: "Yes."

After this sentence, Roque stopped asking, and Isaiah had to continue to ask.

"I don't know why you still maintain that idea, but I still want to ask you, what do you think of fairness and justice? You cared about this a lot when you were young, in fact, I would be a little bit, because of various stories and legends Impact."

"But this kind of thing changes with age. As an assassin, you should understand better than me that the so-called fairness and justice are just false slogans, who will judge, who will lead, etc. There are a series of problems. ."

"So, I'm curious, how do you keep the logic in your heart consistent and so firm." Isaiah was a little puzzled.

"You are not the kind of person who is bullied, and you are not easily fooled by others. You should know that this slogan and goal is actually very vague." Isaiah considered the words and tried to be more euphemistic.

Rock: "Because someone died in front of me, I don't think he had any regrets at the time."

Suddenly, Roque's voice broke away from the indifferent tone before, and his emotion became a little more.

"Just as you are cared for by your family and want to protect them, there are people who pass that warmth to me."

Isaiah: "I see."

Isaiah: "Looks like we can't go back to our childhood when we were friends."

Having said this, Isaiah patted the hat a little disappointed, then put it on and stood.

In an instant, the sound of countless muskets firing sounded outside, dense holes appeared in the thick cloth of the tent, and the place where Rock stood was also drowned by firelight and smoke.

Soon, a soldier rushed into the tent to protect Isaiah, and when they checked the previous position of Rock again, there was no one there, and there was no body of the other party.

"He escaped, Lord General."

"Forget it, it's also expected, such an assassin will not be easily fooled and killed." Isaiah took off the small metal object inside the hat and threw it to the technical officer beside him.

"I will continue to improve it in the future."

"Yes, General."

In the barracks, the original chaos of the enemy's cavalry had long since disappeared. After resisting the attack, the soldiers had been on alert everywhere, searching for assassins and suspicious persons from place to place.

The war is still going on. In the following six months, the East and West Empires have fought various battles on the border. In order to cope with the pressure brought by this white-clothed general, the East Empire has also mobilized many officers with strong military capabilities. Go to the front.

In the face of the abundant staffing of the Eastern Empire, even Isaiah is gradually not as relaxed and calm as in the past, and the form has gradually changed from advantage to balance.

In the following year, the two sides continued to compete for each other until the situation in the empire changed again.

There was a mutiny within the Western Empire, and Jerain took away many people who were loyal to him, while the East

The empire also began to face a series of internal problems because of the interference of elves.

In June of the second year, Gao Dan Plain.

The newly built station is full of busy figures. Soldiers are eager to unload the materials on the train, and then load other things. One by one, they count the materials stacked at the station, and then use them on the boxes. Mark with chalk and write numbers.

"The train is leaving, Lord Isaiah." A female adjutant came behind the general.

"understood."

He looked at the fortress and the field in the distance again, and then boarded the train that went back to the West to suppress the rebellion with the soldiers around him.

The steam roared, the wheels started to click slowly, and the rhythmic sound of the cylinder and the piston made the body move slowly. The white air gushing out from the front of the train filled the surroundings, and along with the shouts and farewells of everyone, the train gradually accelerated, pulling the scenery behind it farther and farther, until it became an invisible blur.

Farewell, my old friend.

Isaiah no longer looked out the window, but leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. The afternoon sunlight passed through the window, leaving behind slowly turning lights and shadows in the carriage, like a lattice, slowly passing over the young general's face.

I don't know when, there are more and more young faces on the battlefield.
