Directly north of the Sanuki Mountain Range, the heavily armed troops scattered forward in a fan shape, and the remaining more than 130 ninja ninjas were interspersed to form a mixed force, one side was vigilant, the other side searched, and cooperated with each other to advance steadily. Although the Skynet troops did not participate in it, they followed far behind, sometimes resting and sometimes following up in the way of 'one round of rest per hour', leaving time to adjust their state and accept the conditioning and treatment of the royal accompanying doctors.

After all, there is an important serious illness in the team, Side and the Second Elder.

Better, Seid's injuries were treated with a cast and temporarily immobilized, which was the only way to do this when surgery was not possible. The second elder's injuries were extremely serious, his entire left arm was in tatters, from his shoulder to his wrist, as if he had been crushed by a boulder, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his bones were all over the place, looking terrible. The chest and lower abdomen also firmly withstood the violent impact from Di Cheng, and there were bursts of tidal colic, no less than the pain of the left arm being abolished. Almost every time I walked forward, I would break out in a cold sweat on my forehead. If it weren't for the intermittent injections of painkillers, maybe this old body would have been unable to bear it for a long time.

The atmosphere of the Skynet forces was relatively dreary, and the fact that they had an absolute advantage and suffered a crushing defeat of this magnitude not only exceeded everyone's expectations, but also stimulated their arrogant self-esteem.

From time to time, their eyes fell on the armed forces in front, and they were a little relaxed and even more resentful. The dignified Skynet actually relies on the armed forces to achieve victory? Is this ironic?!

In the search team, all the team members are cautiously fulfilling their obligations, either vigilantly around, or searching forward. Among the more than 600 people, a girl in a camouflage military uniform was particularly conspicuous.

Tall figure, bumpy body, cold expression, sharp eyes, except for the appearance of some ordinary, the rest of the overall quality can definitely be painted eighty or ninety. It's just that from left to right, from front to back, everyone is searching intently, and not even one person glances here.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare!! Because her name is ...... Nishiwaki Hiroshi. was once a military assassin, and now a royal celebrity.

As the royal guards and the Yakuza ace army, they know some inside stories and get orders from their superiors in advance.

At most half a month, Nishiwaki Hong's identity will be completely different, perhaps, he will lead part of the royal guards, and he will also intervene in the high-level of Yakuza.

So...... In this search mission, they were ordered to fully assist and not to desecrate!

Nishiwaki Hong's expression is serious, her eyes are cold, compared to the cheerful and open time when she was at the gate of heaven back then, she is completely like two people, from the inside to the outside, from the soul to the outside, she is cold and serious. With steady steps, a cold expression, and sharp eyes, he looks more like a resolute soldier!

"Shaozuo, it's getting dark, should we find a place to rest first? Today is the first night into the Sanuki Mountains, so be cautious without fully understanding the situation. Yuji Noda, the accompanying subordinate and former army assassin, walked quickly to Nishiwaki Hong's side to report.

Now that the sky had darkened, the mountains and forests were becoming more and more quiet and drowsy, I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that there was a sense of gloom around him, as if there were a pair of eyes watching them in the dark.

Nishiwaki Hong looked at the sky, as if intentionally, as if unintentionally, and then looked at the woodland that had darkened around him: "Divided into three parts, one to rest, one to be vigilant, and one to prepare." Clothes are untied, guns are not left in hand, all loaded, ready at any time. Once again, remind the troops that the enemy we are facing is not human, they are non-humans who stand on the top of the world. ”

"Understood, I'll pass it on." Yuji Noda bowed his head and walked down quickly.

The search troops were ordered to prohibit it, the outer troops dispersed in turn, and the inner encircled troops gathered and rested. As the ace troops of the royal family and Yakuza were disciplined and vigilant, and there was no such thing as laziness.

Nishiwaki glanced at the barely visible Skynet troops behind him, and walked through the gradually forming camp to the outermost area.

"Shaozuo, where are you going?" Yuji Noda followed.

"Just go for a walk."

"It's dangerous out there, you're still ......"

"I've got it."

"Uh......" Yuji Noda wanted to say something, but Nishiwaki Hong's cold and hard face and tone couldn't help him insist too much. He opened his mouth and raised his hand, but finally could only watch Nishiwaki walk into the dim woodland.

As the longest-serving member of the military assassin team who has followed Nishiwaki Hong, Yuji Noda knows some of her stories and knows the special nature of this round-up operation for her. Some emotions that have been deliberately suppressed are now forced to be forcibly cut off.

Use 'human heads' to make 'dowry'. Recalling the emperor's majestic order, Yuji Noda could feel the bloody determination behind the order.

Nishiwaki left the camp and came to a raised dirt slope, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, and his cold eyes were little by little...... Dissolve...... Reduced to shallow complexity.

Gazing at the crescent moon, his eyes are complicated, and the slightest trace of reminiscence flows in his heart.

From being adopted by the imperial father, to practicing the secret art of disguise; From practicing martial arts to studying espionage; from joining the army to succeeding Shaozuo; From carrying out all kinds of espionage missions, to lurking Skynet, all the way to various types of hunting missions.

There have been hardships, fatigue, grievances, loneliness, passion, and madness.

But......

What was once a deep memory is now blurred, and it is almost impossible to capture their clear footprints; The belief that was once obsessed with it is now no longer important, and there is no longer the passion and motivation of the past.

In my mind and memory, the clearest and most profound is the time after the launch of the Skynet United Front.

Whether it is the first acquaintance with Di Cheng, or the death of the beasts; Whether it's betraying Skynet, or joining Heavengate. Including the Tianmen Worship General, Jin Xuan's bombing incident, and later ...... Knot Formation Internship Feather Emperor ......

All of this was supposed to be a small branch of my 'espionage operation', and I should be excited about the success of the lurk, but ...... The joy at that time left me with broken illusions and endless pain.

“…… Xi Yuhuang ......" Nishiwaki Hong's gaze drooped in a slight sway, looking at the dim and silent woodland in front of him distractedly, a touch of bitterness hooked up at the corner of his mouth, a murmur fluttered in the wind, and a tear stain dripped from the corner of his eye: "...... Xi Yuhuang ...... My former lover...... Please allow me to call your name one last time......"

After tonight, all distractions are gone; After tonight, cut off the feelings; After tonight, she will draw her sword; After tonight, the name of Xuanyuan Ziyi will disappear completely, and there is only Nishiwaki Rainbow in the world, the Nishiwaki Rainbow of the royal family!

The moment you accept the emperor's order, the end is already doomed. There is really no need to make useless efforts for two people who are impossible, let alone ...... It's been almost two years...... He...... Never ......

But...... Why...... When I was really in the Sanuki Mountains and really stepped on this battlefield, when I finally made a decision, my heart slowly hurt, stinging, pinprick-like stinging.

Why? Why?! Why do we still have a longing? Why is there still heartache?

Nishiwaki closed her unfocused eyes and breathed deeply into the cold air, trying to calm the fluctuations of her heart with 'coolness'.

She wanted to indulge her thoughts for the last time tonight, but she didn't want the 'memories' to get out of hand. Because after tonight, she has to face her former lover again, and at the moment when she draws her sword, she doesn't want to hesitate and have emotional fluctuations.

Therefore, tonight, the last indulgence, the last recollection, is also to be completely cut off.

However...... The moment she closed her eyes...... In the moment when she took a deep breath...... At the moment when my heart ached.

A pair of strong arms gently wrapped around him from behind, the familiar taste lingered in his nose, the familiar hug gradually became powerful, and a soft call sounded in his ears: "...... I'm sorry...... My lover...... I...... It's late......"
