The moment Edward woke up, he felt the pain in his neck.
As Edward gradually regained consciousness, he 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, he was sent to the military camp.
Edward was not surprised.
There were rumors before that this ‘imperial minister’ was dissatisfied with his ‘unfavorable performance’.
Therefore, assisting in the investigation is naturally false.
It’s true that he has to take the blame!
Edward knew this very well.
And he was ready.
At worst, he could take off his uniform and go home to inherit his father's factory.
But what was different from Edward's imagination was that when he got into the car of the 'imperial envoy', he was directly stunned.
The feeling of being hit on the neck by a military stun gun is definitely something that ordinary people are not willing to try.
Not only is it painful, but a little carelessness can lead to death.
Even people who are really familiar with it have a hard time controlling this.
And this also represents the true attitude of the ‘imperial envoy’!
Don't care about his life or death!
He has murderous intentions towards him!
Almost instantly, Edward regained consciousness and understood everything.
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’!
After being discovered, Edward was not pretending. He opened his eyes, and then moved his painful neck. He quickly adjusted his condition, but the situation in front of him was somewhat beyond his expectation.
This is a tent.
To be precise, it was a marching tent.
Edward, who came from the military, was very familiar with all this.
However, compared to the marching tents Edward knew, this tent was much more luxurious.
Not only was there a thick carpet on the floor, but there were also solid wood carved furniture placed around it. On a round table, there were also fruits that were hard to see in winter and an unknown object covered with black silk.
And the 'imperial envoy' was sitting at the round table, right opposite him.
The other person is holding a cup of coffee in his hand, stirring slowly with a spoon. When the coffee's dense air rises, it envelopes the other person's face.
It's blurry, but it seems to have some kind of distortion.
call!
The 'imperial minister' blew a breath, and the rising heat of the coffee was immediately blown away, revealing the other party wearing a red suit, with long golden hair flowing down the other party's face, and narrow blue eyes with a hint of silk.
She looked at him with a smile. The white windbreaker was hanging aside, and the sheathed and guarded slender sword was standing under the hanger.
“Very good physical fitness.”
"If you undergo real training, I'm afraid you can become a formal member of the 'Ghost Team'."
"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 New De City Special Operations Team?"
"Why you and not someone else?"
"Just because Micah was your former instructor?"
"Isn't it?"
Edward frowned and asked.
Such an action made his neck, which had just been clicked, more and more painful, but Edward endured it and did not make a sound.
"Of course not."
"I need someone related to Micah."
"But I need someone who shows integrity and fairness."
The smile on the other person's lips suddenly brightened.
Different from previous habits.
This time the smile came from the heart.
But precisely because of this, Edward's hair stood on end.
Malice!
Unabashed malice!
Just like a poisonous snake jumping out of the bushes, it is not only ferocious but also extremely deadly.
Looking at Edward's stiff face, the 'imperial minister' smiled even brighter.
He continued:
"People, it's always like this."
"They not only admire noble people, but they also like noble people to become inferior and inferior to themselves."
"This is human nature."
"And I just obeyed their nature and let them see what they wanted to see - how an upright and fair person degenerated step by step, deceiving the heroic 'Ghost Team' and causing them to commit numerous crimes.
offense."
Having said this, the 'imperial envoy' took a sip of coffee.
"nonsense!"
"You are talking utter nonsense!"
"No one will believe it."
Edward couldn't bear it any longer and roared angrily.
"Shh!"
The imperial envoy was holding coffee in his left hand, holding a small spoon with his right thumb and middle finger, and raised his index finger to his mouth, making a silent gesture.
"You don't need to judge this kind of thing."
"But, leave it to other people, to those stupid people."
"They will make you understand what true 'justice' is."
As he spoke, the imperial envoy put down the coffee in his hand. Instead of putting the small spoon into the cup, he placed it upside down in the saucer with the convex side of the spoon facing up.
He adjusted his red suit slightly and spoke again when he was ready.
"I still regretted choosing you before."
"Now?"
"I don't regret it anymore."
"Because you are so stupid."
"I have told you enough, but you are still entangled in some side details. Aren't you curious as to why I have the ability to make you the leader of the special operations team?"
The other party looked at Edward jokingly.
The look in his eyes was like that of some cats teasing their prey.
It's both exciting and... cruel.
"Why?"
Edward asked, clenching his fists.
"Because I am Motous!"
"Commodore Motous!"
"The former direct commander of the 'Ghost Squad'!"
The 'imperial envoy' finally gave the answer.
When he heard the name Motous, Edward was completely stunned.
Because, from the information he knew, the reason why the 'Ghost Team' was considered a betrayal was because they killed their direct commander, Motous.
But the person in front of him claimed to be Motous.
There is no such thing as betrayal.
If there was no betrayal, all subsequent actions of the 'Ghost Team' would be based on orders.
scam!
What a huge scam!
The other party has set up such a big game!
Just for, for...
Dawn. Prussia family!
Although Edward didn't know the specific situation.
However, he is 60% sure that the Motous in front of him is for Chenxi. The Pruss family!
Similarly, such a useful tool as the ‘Ghost Squad’ cannot be given up!
Naturally, someone needs to take the blame.
And he is the one who takes the blame!
The one who was chosen from the beginning to take the blame!
call!
After figuring out the general situation, Edward let out a long breath, and then——
Go straight to Motous!
Although Edward is stubborn most of the time, he is definitely not a pedantic person.
Others have tried every possible means to plot against him.
He won't be beaten passively anymore.
Hijack the other party, leave here, and then make plans!
With this thought in his heart, Edward kept his forward posture, raised his right hand and grabbed Motous' throat.
Edward was quite confident about his attack.
In addition to shooting, his fighting skills are also quite superb.
Even when I came to Xinde City, I didn't fall behind and trained every day.
only……
Such a blow failed.
Motous, who was clearly right in front of him, just disappeared from his sight, and then, he felt a sudden pain in the socket of his knee.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, Motous retracted his toes.
And Edward had already knelt down on one knee.
"Thank me."
"To make the 'sacrifice' complete."
"I didn't kick your knees to pieces."
As the 'imperial minister' said this, he raised his foot and slapped Edward on 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, and couldn't help laughing again.
"Do you really think I was careless in allowing you to 'move freely'?"
"What an ignorant and reckless man."
"This is also the difference between us, why I am the brigadier general, controlling everything, and you are just a chess piece that is abandoned at will."
Edward wanted to refute the other person's words.
But the kick just now not only made him dizzy, but more importantly, made his entire mouth numb, as if he had lost consciousness. Not to mention speaking, Edward knew that the lower part of his cheek was numb.
disappeared.
But the imperial minister ignored Edward. He turned slightly and raised his hand to pull off the black silk covering the fruit plate on the round table.
Sliding down quietly, the thing under the silk cloth was finally revealed in Edward's field of vision.
Crystal ball?!
Edward was stunned.
He had never imagined seeing such a thing as a crystal ball in a military tent.
"You are really not smart."
"What are the glasses you are wearing for?"
"Is it just to make yourself look smarter and more elegant?"
The imperial minister shook his head, helplessness appearing on his face.
Edward's performance made him feel very unfulfilled.
What he wanted to see more was the other party's shock after knowing everything.
Instead of being sluggish and at a loss like now.
"'Sacrifice'!"
"Chen Xi. The Pruss family is a 'sacrifice'!"
"It's hard to find a 'sacrifice' with a long history and a long bloodline. I selected the Chenxi Prussia family from thousands of people. They meet all the requirements of 'that person'."
"It's a pity that the quantity is too small."
"I had to lay out and gather them together."
"Fortunately, I did well."
The 'imperial envoy' seemed to be relieved.
Then, he added another sentence.
"Of course, you are also a 'sacrifice'."
"However, compared with the sacrifice and 'that one', you, the guy who sacrifices to those fools, are just the 'sacrifice' among the 'sacrifice'."
"Who is 'that'?"
Edward, who finally regained consciousness slightly, asked directly.
Such questions made the 'imperial envoy' couldn't help but 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 about the strange things that have happened in the past five years?"
The other party didn't give an answer, just gave a brief reminder, and looked at Edward expectantly.
But this time, Edward finally came to his senses.
He thought about the rumors that five years ago, in October 1981, a huge shadow appeared in the sky over the 'Lanqiao Blockade'. It was said that the shadow was so huge that it spanned the entire battlefield, and witnesses on both sides died within a week.
.
Then, Edward thought of something and his expression suddenly changed.
"You betrayed humanity!"
Edward growled.
"betray?"
"No, no no."
"This is just a roundabout way to save yourself."
"I'm just using my own way to save the world. People with narrow vision like you won't understand, so... you'd better become the 'sacrifice' of the 'sacrifice'."
The 'Imperial Envoy' smiled, and it was not me, but you, who had the wrong look on his face.
"Do you think you'll succeed?"
Edward asked.
"Of course!"
"Or do you think that your subordinate left because of my carelessness?"
"It is naturally not enough for you to be the 'sacrifice' of the 'sacrifice'. There should be others."
"For example: That Jason?"
As soon as the 'imperial minister' finished speaking, an angry Edward rushed over again.
But the next moment, he was kicked away again.
Looking at Edward rolling into the corner of the tent again, Motous paid no attention to him.
Because, at this time, a winter thunder exploded in the sky.
Boom!
The sudden winter thunder made Motous raise his head.
"Did you hear that?"
"Even God is playing a salute for me."
"I am destined to be the one who creates the 'new world'."
"And you?"
"It is destined to be written into the history books and nailed to the pillar of historical shame."
Motous raised his hands and shouted loudly. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was enjoying the moment, and the smile on his face tended to be pathological.
After more than ten seconds, Motous put down his hands.
He looked again at Edward, who struggled to get up from the corner of the tent, but stumbled to the ground again.
Pooh!
Edward, who was speechless, spat at Motous to express his anger.
But Motous easily dodged it.
At this time, the crystal ball on the table lit up.
In the crystal ball, the morning light appeared. Taidi, the patriarch of the Prussian family.
This middle-aged man is leading a group of 30 people to set up a complicated secret technique.
Seeing this scene, Motous couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into laughter.
Everything was as he expected.
Just when he was about to wait patiently, suddenly——
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Fierce gunshots and explosions were heard.
"What's going on?"
Motous frowned and asked.
"Report to the Brigadier General that someone is attacking the military camp!"
"However, it has been repulsed!"
"We also captured a prisoner!"
The messenger answered.
Then, the strapped Griffin was pushed in.
When he heard the sound of gunfire, Edward's heart was in his throat, and he subconsciously thought of little Bansy.
With little Banxi's impulsiveness, he will definitely be able to do something that hits an egg against a stone.
Moreover, Xiao Banxi's usual collection also gave him the courage to do this.
Therefore, when Edward saw Griffin, he was a little surprised, but then he was moved and angry.
He was moved that Griffin would come to save him.
What annoyed him was that Griffin would come to save him.
"What are you doing?"
Edward yelled at Griffin, but his eye circles were red.
He knew what would happen to the captured Griffin.
"While retreating, I sprained my foot."
Griffin showed an embarrassed look, still looking as unreliable as ever.
"You, you..."
"I owe you."
Edward stared at Griffin, and finally, his thousands of words turned into an apology.
He is truly sorry.
He didn't think he could repay Griffin for saving his life.
This made Edward even more regretful.
Looking at this scene, Motous couldn't help but laugh loudly again.
"Hahaha!"
"Stupid Edward."
"Stupidity is indeed contagious."
"You're a fool, and so are your friends!"
Such laughter made Griffin raise an eyebrow.
"Yes, a fool's friend is a fool."
"What about the fool's enemies?"
"Are you a fool?"
"It must be!"
"Moreover, you, a newbie fool, will definitely be brought to the same starting line by us, and then defeated by us with our rich experience!"
Griffin nodded repeatedly and said provocatively.
"Beat me?"
With a cold face, Motous walked towards Griffin and kicked Griffin to the ground.
Then, he stepped on Griffin's cheek and asked word by word.
"How can you defeat me now?"
"Let him go!"
Edward looked at Griffin who had his cheek stepped on, and immediately rushed towards Motous.
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 was done with skill.
He deliberately let Edward fall on Griffin.
Then?
He stepped on both of them.
Edward was stepped on on the back, and the feeling of suffocation made his eyesight go black.
The same strength also filled Griffin's body.
However, Edward discovered that Griffin was actually smiling.
Yes.
Griffin is laughing.
There was ease in that smile.
Motous couldn't see such a smile.
He only saw two poor people whom he had guessed were at his feet.
He only saw his own victory.
He only saw his own future.
Boom!
There was another winter thunder.
Amid this winter thunder, the excited Motous raised his head and roared.
"I am the king of the world!"
High-pitched, excited voices echoed in the tent.
Dong Lei sounded one after another.
Boom!
Boom!
This made Motous even more excited.
He was immersed in the sound of the salute given to him by God.
He didn't even notice that there was a bulge in the tent in front of him.
The next moment——
Bump cracked!
A tall figure holding a broad-bladed short-handled machete burst into the tent.
The sharp blade in his hand plunged directly into Motous's chest.
