Although the soldiers in the military camp had the assassin roughly under control, they were still surprised that he was actually someone who knew the general.
The development that followed was somewhat unexpected. Isaiah brought a large tent to block the outside view, and then several mages set up a safe isolation barrier, and the two started talking in the tent.
"Okay, now we can have a few quiet words."
Isaiah was wearing a coat, sitting on a precious wooden chair, looking at the assassin standing on the opposite side of the barrier. A small sound transmission device was placed in front of the two of them to transmit the sounds on both sides of the barrier.
"Aren't you afraid of being suspected by the upper echelons of the Western Empire when you talk to me, an assassin?" Rock replied calmly.
"You are still so considerate of others, Rock. It's incredible that someone like you can actually take the path of an assassin." Isaiah shook his head.
"My position in the Western Empire is more stable than you think. Forget it, this is not something worth mentioning. But I have too many questions to ask and understand you."
"In exchange, I can also answer you some less important questions." He leaned on the back of the chair, folded his legs, and waited quietly for the assassin opposite him to think.
Soon, a response came from the other side.
"Say it."
"That's how it is." Isaiah smiled similar to when he was a teenager. Although he has matured a lot, it can be seen that he still retains many of his past habits.
"Did you take away Princess Evelyn and make her the queen?"
"Yes." The answer is simple and requires no explanation.
"Very well, it's your turn to ask."
"Are you absolutely loyal to the Western Empire?" Rock asked.
"No." Similarly, Isaiah did not explain the reason.
Isaiah: "Do you want the Western Empire to fall?"
Rock: "Yes."
Rock: "Do you want the Western Empire to unify the whole territory?"
Isaiah: "Yes"
Isaiah: "Do you want the Eastern Empire to unify the entire territory?"
Rock: "Negative."
Isaiah: "This is interesting. Since you don't have this idea, you still support that queen to ascend the throne."
Rock: "How do you give up your allegiance to the Western Empire?"
Isaiah: "This issue is really complicated. I can only say that loyalty to the Western Empire is my only choice. Rock, you and I are different."
Isaiah: "Although you came to kill me, I still want to ask in the end, have you still not forgotten the thoughts you had when you were a teenager?"
Rock: "Yes."
After this sentence, Rock stopped asking, and Isaiah had no choice but to continue asking.
"I don't know why you still maintain that idea, but I still want to ask you, what do you think is fairness and justice? When you were a teenager, you cared about this a lot. In fact, I knew a little bit about it at that time, because of various stories and legends.
influence.”
"But this kind of thing should change as you grow older. As an assassin, you should understand better than me. 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 about how you keep the logic in your mind consistent and so firm." Isaiah was a little confused.
"You are not the kind of person to be bullied, nor are you easily fooled. You should know that such slogans and goals are actually very empty." Isaiah considered his words and tried to be as tactful as possible.
Rock: "Because someone died in front of me, I don't think he felt any regret at the time."
Suddenly, Rock's voice broke away from the cold tone before and became slightly more emotional.
"Just like you are cared for by your family and want to protect them, someone also passed that warmth on to me."
Isaiah: "I understand."
Isaiah: "It seems that we can no longer go back to the childhood days when we were friends."
Having said this, Isaiah patted his hat with some disappointment, then put it on and stood up.
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 had been standing was flooded by fire and smoke.
Soon, soldiers rushed into the tent one after another to protect Isaiah. When they checked again where Rock was standing, there was no one there, and there was no body of the other party.
"He escaped, General."
"Forget it, it's expected. Such an assassin will not be fooled and die easily." Isaiah took off the small metal object inside the hat and threw it to the technical officer aside.
“We will continue to improve in the future.”
"Yes, General."
In the military camp, the chaos of the enemy's cavalry attack has long since disappeared. After resisting the attack, the soldiers have been on guard everywhere, searching for assassins and suspicious persons in each place.
The war continued. In the next six months, the Eastern and Western Empires were engaged in various battles on the border. In order to cope with the pressure brought by this white-clad general, the Eastern Empire also mobilized many officers with extremely strong military capabilities.
Head to the front lines.
Faced with the abundant personnel allocation in the Eastern Empire, even Isaiah is gradually not as relaxed and calm as in the past, and the situation is slowly changing from advantage to balance of power.
In the next year, the two sides continued to compete with each other until the situation in the empire changed again.
There was a rebellion within the Western Empire, and Jie Lann took away many people who were loyal to him. The Eastern Empire also began to face a series of internal problems because of the interference of the elves.

In June of the second year, Gaodan Plain.
The newly built station was full of busy people. Soldiers were rushing to unload the supplies from the train and then load them with other things. Personnel counted the supplies piled in the station and then used them on each box.
Draw marks with chalk and write numbers.
"The train is about to leave, Lord Isaiah." A female adjutant came up behind the general.
"knew."
He looked at the fortress and wilderness in the distance again, and then boarded the train back to the Western Territory to counter the rebellion with the soldiers around him.
The steam roared, the wheels slowly started clicking, and the crashing sound of the cylinder and piston was rhythmic, making the car body slowly move. The white gas spurting from the front of the car filled the surroundings, and as everyone shouted and said goodbye, the train gradually accelerated,
Zoom out the scenery behind you further and further until it becomes an invisible fuzzy dot.
Farewell, my old friend.
Isaiah no longer looked at the scenery outside the window, but leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to meditate. The afternoon sunlight passed through the window, leaving slowly rotating light and shadows in the carriage, like a grid, slowly passing through
The face of the young general.
I don’t know when, there are more and more young faces like this on the battlefield.
