Chapter 71 Antecedents
"Because I have personally used it, this thing is too mentally taxing, so I gave up using it..."
"As for why Esdeath is looking for me, I will investigate as much as possible if I have the chance."
Nodding, Nadjeta said seriously.
"I understand... I have to say that you gave us a very big gift for Night Raid..."
"I understand your concerns, and I'm sorry that I ever had doubts about you... You are welcome to join us, Tazmi!"
Looking at Nadjeta's stretched out mechanical arm, Tazmi nodded and held it.
After the moment of separation, Tazmi looked at her future companions around her and nodded.
"From today on, we are all companions..."
"Welcome! Tazmi!! My name is Brand! You can call me handsome guy! Or big brother!"
Brand, who had an airplane haircut, was the first to say hello, and others also expressed their welcome to the young man.
Chitong: "Welcome to join you, Tazmi...my name is Chitong..."
Hill: "My name is Hill... Welcome... But I'm stupid, so please don't blame me..."
Lubbock: "Welcome, my name is Lubbock, just call me Rab... Judging from your age, you shouldn't pose a threat to me, and I can feel at ease..."
Tazmi responded with a smile to the two girls' welcome, but couldn't help but groaned inwardly after hearing Rab's welcome.
You look like a dog, Rab!
"That's it, sister, my name is Leonai! This is a formal introduction!"
Leonai hugged the boy with a smile and stroked the boy's head like a pet.
And everyone's attention was also focused on the last member.
"Huh? It all depends on what I do... Is it really appropriate for a guy like this to be a companion..."
Looking at everyone's gaze, the girl who couldn't bear it screamed and was instantly discouraged.
"I...I know!"
"Happy...welcome..."
After saying welcome, the girl turned her head and hummed, then walked out of the conference room.
"Don't mind it, that guy Ma Yin treats everyone like this..."
Tazmi nodded as Leonai touched her head.
"I know...after all, those two slaps hurt..."
"Pfft hahahaha!!!"
"You're still laughing! You did it on purpose, Leonai!"
Looking at Leonai who was smiling wildly, Tazmi was completely speechless.
Just as everyone was enjoying the time of joining this new companion, an unsociable voice sounded from outside the conference room door.
"Hey! Don't you want to move the base? Hurry up!"
Looking at the pink-haired girl standing at the door, everyone looked at each other and prepared to leave, but Nadjeta's voice slowly sounded behind everyone.
"Then let's go on the road together today... The base was attacked, and this place can only be abandoned... everyone can move after the Revolutionary Army's reconnaissance team finds a suitable location."
"Before that, everyone goes to the reserved backup location. Tazmi will be taken by Chitong first..."
"Yeah, I understand, Boss..."
The girl with long black hair nodded blankly, with no trace of fluctuation visible in her red eyes.
"Hey!! So cunning, then I'll book the next one!"
Nadjeta ignored Leonai's tricks and directly announced the disbandment. Today, Tazmi's joining the night attack ended like this.
After that, everyone set off directly outside the base without eating, heading to the alternate location where the base was discovered.
Fortunately, Tazmi also followed the opponent for a whole day, and finally, as night approached, she lay in the room assigned to her and thought secretly.
After the discussion in the morning, I roughly understood the specific problem.
Leonai, who is self-centered and a little unusual in his kindness, and Esdeath, who is looking for him, are the two main suspects.
Although Leonai, a silly girl, is careless, she still needs to be careful in case the other party has evil intentions. At least the future contacts should be more measured, and the silly girl's white flowers cannot be blinded.
Leonai: That's right! I'm hungry for your body!
Although there seems to be nothing unusual about the others and they can be regarded as the original lineup in the memory of the previous life, the specific situation can only be understood in the process of getting along with them later.
Soon, as time passed, the boy fell into sleep.
--------
At the same time, a general returned after the morning court in the Imperial Palace.
"Welcome back, Lord Esdeath..."
"Thanks for your hard work..."
"Yes!"
The soldier guarding in front of the palace gate bowed quickly after seeing the blue figure, and two drops of cold sweat flowed from his forehead. It was clear that the other person was just giving a normal answer, but he was frightened by the other person's aura.
Esdeath led his three subordinates and walked into the palace on high heels while observing the huge palace.
'The Supreme Power lies beneath this palace...'
Now that she has broadened her horizons, she is no longer limited to the Teigu, so Esdeath, who was slightly interested in the supreme power, suddenly started thinking about other things.
'I didn't feel that way before setting off, but after thinking about that memory, I felt a little bored...'
'Trampling, torture, hunting, this kind of entertainment is really backward... The only war between armies that can bring me happiness also seems boring and boring under the wash of that memory...'
'Same changes, same reaction... He is obviously a brave man from the north, a talented man who is proficient in military affairs, but he can't adapt and gave a boring command...'
'What a boring war...'
The expressionless girl in military uniform walked in the corridor of the palace, making a crunching sound. The three subordinates following the girl were silent and followed quietly.
'My Tazmi is still the best...even if it happens all over again...my feelings for you will still not change...'
'This throbbing in my heart, this longing... will definitely bring you back to me...'
'I firmly believe in this...'
'This is your fate and mine...'
Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Esdeath stepped into the door of the inner hall of the palace.
"Your Majesty, I have completed the crusade and suppression of the foreign ethnic groups in the north and have now returned to Your Majesty..."
"Oh! Your Majesty! Look who is back... This is really a big surprise..."
The splendid palace, the ornate jade-carved stone pillars, and the throne made of gold. Above is the emperor of this country.
It's just that compared to the king in the inner impression of most people, who is full of beard and pot-bellied, or who is an extremely capable young king, the one sitting above is just a child in his early ten years.
The child is wearing simple clothes and a blue cloak. Only the scepter in his hand is made of gold, and the crown on his head makes people want to complain. Without these two things, no one can see him. No one will believe that this child is a king.
The person who made the sound was standing beside the king. He had white hair and a white beard and was estimated to be over fifty years old.
I saw that the other party was wearing a gray coat, he was huge and fat, about 1.8 meters tall, with a crown of three prismatic stones on his forehead, and various gorgeous rings on his fingers.
If you follow the above conjecture, then this standing guy is more in line with everyone's impression of the king.
"He is worthy of being a hero as famous as General Bude. I can rest assured if Lord Esdeath can help me relieve my worries..."
"No way, this is all my duty... I have some personal matters to deal with when I come back this time. By the way, I will report the results of the battle in the north to His Majesty. After doing all this, I will return to the border again to help Your Majesty protects the empire..."
