With this start, the rest of the communication became very smooth.

One side thanks, and the other side apologizes.

It was Lloyd who thanked him for the many things he had helped before.

Material support, as well as a special communication device made by Jean Theo to use with the witch's magic.

It was precisely because of the existence of this device that the support department, which was locked in the birdcage, broke through the blockade and got in touch with the outside world.

It calmed Randy's heart, calmed Theo's heart, and successfully untied Yuna's heart knot when she was most hesitant and helpless, and made her cheer up again.

This pile, piece by piece, Lloyd remembered it all.

He and Lane share a common trait, they rarely take their own affairs seriously, but they take the affairs of others, especially their peers, very seriously.

So Lloyd had to say thanks, and it had to be very formal, otherwise he would be upset.

It is for this reason that Lane must apologize.

For the fact that he assisted in the invasion of Crossbell, for what he was going to do next.

Especially the latter, Dawn's goal is a real happy ending, related, irrelevant, and preferably no one dies.

No one died, which meant that the power of the empire would not be damaged, the stability of the rule was unshakable, and Crossbell, who had gradually begun to identify with the empire, would only continue to follow the guidelines of Rhofas, and in the end he would be completely assimilated by the empire.

That's what Lane said, the root of the idea that there will never be a chance at independence again.

Ryne has always admired Lloyd and admired the efforts and will of the support department, and this time he inherited a favor as much as Kia, so he was unwilling to hide it from Lloyd and the others.

Even if you will be resented by them because of this, even if you will become their enemy after a short period of friendship.

Of course, this scene did not happen in the end.

After Lane gave a general introduction to the mechanics of the operation of the Imperial Arcana, Lloyd showed the same expression as Qi Ya and sighed deeply:

"Well, there's no way around it. The mechanics of war, the wars that swept the world, many, many lives...... No matter how much we love this land, we can't afford to sacrifice so many innocent people for a chance at independence – even if we miss this time, we won't have another chance. ”

Arios on the side only said one sentence: "Do something, don't do something." ”

In a word, the Dao Support Division, or the heroic trajectory of every soul person, the child of destiny.

Estelle, Lloyd, Lane.

They are all such people, stick to the bottom line and abide by principles.

Even if they know that some practices will benefit more, they will not do it.

Like former President Dita, who hired the "Red Constellation" to attack Crossbell in order to stir up public anger and seek independence, they will never do it, not only will not, but they will try desperately to stop it.

You can call them stupid, but it's because of this stupidity that they become heroes.

The former Arios also went astray because he lost this bottom line.

Hearing this, Li En stood up and performed an oriental etiquette that he had learned from the Sword Immortal to the two of them as a sign of respect for the two.

Lloyd and Arios also stood up and saluted.

Lai respects them, and they don't respect Lee.

wants to make the world peaceful, wants to save the common people, this courage, such a pattern, is much bigger than them.

Such a person, even if he is an enemy, deserves respect.

Straightening up, Lloyd said to Rien, "It's not your responsibility for the Empire to invade Crossbell. I'm a 'search officer' and I don't just look at things at the surface.

From the beginning of the Imperial Civil War, no, every step until then was carefully planned and had nothing to do with your own desires. However, you still help Crossbell and help us in your own way with your own will, and this is what I really admire.

Maybe we will stand on different sides in the future and will be hostile to each other. But when it comes to stopping wars and saving lives, we are the same, and our Support Section is willing to be your help, as long as you don't feel that we are underpowered. ”

"How so?"

Rien smiled, the combination of Arios and Lisa Mao alone was enough to make people shudder.

"May I ask, do you have any plans for the future? If there really is the future that the 'Taoist Master' said. ”

"I've already told Yuna the answer.

I will not give up on our goals, but I will not be like former President Dita.

I've been watching the changes in Cross Bell during this time. It is true that the empire did a lot of bad things in the process of occupation, but it also did a lot of things that were good for Crossbell.

Economic recovery, social stability, and the status of the people. Although he is reluctant to admit it, the current Crossbell is no longer caught between the two powers, and the people have gradually gained the same status as the people of the empire, which is the biggest change compared to the period of autonomy.

Whatever the Governor of Lufas thought, the change was impossible to refuse.

If there really comes a day when the people recognize the empire from their hearts and consider themselves as a member of the empire, and the empire makes Crossbell better, we will disappear from the people's view.

But as long as there is a place in the Empire that hurts Crossbell, we will stand up for Crossbell and show Crossbell's will.

That's what I thought, but I've only communicated with Randy, and I haven't had time to talk to the others, and I don't know if they'll object. ”

At the end, Lloyd's gaze shifted to Ellie, then to Lixia a few meters away, who remained silent and as quiet as a statue.

When he looked at Arios, the latter showed a smile: "Don't look at me, the people first, this has always been the philosophy of the Guerrilla Association. Although I have withdrawn from the association, I have no intention of changing this perception. What you and Lane do is what I want to see. ”

"I knew you would say that." Lloyd also smiled, he was already a babyface, and he smiled more like a child.

"That way, I have nothing to worry about."

Lai was relieved. Although we have already made the consciousness of not being understood and being an enemy in the future, it is always a joy to be able to be understood and to be able to turn enemies into friends.

Got the crucial second gift, formalized the cooperative relationship with the Support Section, and there was only one thing left.

"Senior brother, I have a request."

"I know."

"Eight Leaves and One Knife Flow" are all masters of perceiving changes in breath, and as soon as Li En moved, Arios sensed it.

"I've also heard that you tried to compete with Senior Brother Cassius once a month ago, and if you don't take the initiative to speak, I will be very disappointed."

Anyway, I'm also a sword master.
