Chapter 13: Staying alive (3rd watch)

The next afternoon.

Allison, along with the other captives, let off steaming on the camp's former school grounds. Alison was preoccupied, and Wendy's surprise visit yesterday had a big impact on her.

By swearing allegiance to her, he will not only be able to end his life as a captive, but he will also be able to hold a key position under the new chief in the future. According to Wendy, she will soon become the new Grand Archon of the Pure White City after being promoted to the Blue Sky rank, and Alison will definitely be promoted quickly.

Allison's lazy classmate Ryan is now a vice-captain of the New Town Guard.

After all, Alison and the others have been following her "old friends" since the academy...... Wendy's smile was the same as always, but Alison noticed the chilling aura behind Wendy's sweet smile.

"Even if you refuse, Okad won't kill you. They can't occupy Elrios forever, and then you too will be released. But as long as the new chief rules the kingdom, you will return home as a prisoner of war and you will be forever branded as untrustworthy, even your family. Today, when the 'Wild Rose' has also been expelled, what else can you do if you can only wield knives and sticks? Even if you want to find a man but die, they will stay away from you because of your experience. Think about it. ”

Despite not threatening her life, Allison felt the suffocating aura on Wendy. For a moment, she thought it wasn't President Wendy, who was her age, but her father, George Stewart.

Alison didn't immediately agree to Wendy's invitation. Wendy promises that Alison can change her mind at any time before she is officially inaugurated.

Alison thought she wouldn't change her mind at the time. But less than a day later, wandering around the school grounds, Allison's mood became irritable.

"That's ......"

A handcuffed figure swayed not far from Alison. He was dressed in tattered prison uniforms and covered in blood.

Alison knew who he was: word had long spread in the POW camp that he was one of the most dangerous prisoners in the entire camp. It is said that on the day of the Battle of Pure White, he broke through the blockade of hundreds of skeleton soldiers with his own strength, and killed three Okad spellbreakers and more than a dozen officers of different levels in a row, and finally the two high-level mages of the blue sky joined forces to barely capture him.

The Okard Army would love to have such a warrior. Especially when the Okadians discovered that this person did not belong to the Elrios Army, nor was he a "wild rose", but an illegal mercenary who had wandered into the Five Nations Alliance, their ancestral home in Okad, they were even more imperative on this person.

However, unlike President Wendy's attitude towards Alison and the others, Admiral Armstrong, who intended to recruit this person, did not adopt the strategy of "Corporal Lixian". For such an unruly man, he had to be sharpened first - Admiral Armstrong himself made the decision, and before his injuries healed, he was thrown into a prisoner of war camp to work as a coolie.

If he dies so easily, it proves that he is nothing more than that.

"Hey."

The man kept his head down. Sensing that there was someone in front of him, he slowly raised his head.

If it weren't for his unkempt head, he would actually be quite handsome......

"Are you...... Mr. Tomman: Right? Alison remembered the rumored man's name. Originally, Okad forbade anyone else to talk to this handcuffed "special captive", but Allison didn't care when she saw that there was no one around.

Captain Tomman didn't speak, just stared at the Elrios girl in front of him silently. Allison suddenly became curious about him: why would he, who had nothing to do with this battle, risk his life to fight the Okard army so much?

"I'm also a warrior," Allison said as she pondered how to make a warrior stronger than herself open up, "I want to ......"

"You're not sent by Ocard," said Captain Tomman coldly, "then less nonsense. ”

Allison smiled awkwardly. Captain Tomman was handcuffed, and she was not afraid of Tomman's sudden outburst.

"I just want to know, why are you fighting Okad so desperately?" Alison asked.

Tomman glanced at her.

"I have loved ones to protect," he said, "and I didn't do it." When I arrived, she was dead. ”

"I'm sorryβ€”" Allison snapped, "and they're rightβ€”"

"She's a warrior, too, just like you and me," said Captain Tomman indifferently, "and she's just making her own judgment. ”

During the Battle of Pure White, his sister Amy was recuperating from her injuries in the church. When Okad's army arrived, she was the only warrior here. Amy told the others to flee first, but she was besieged by an Okadian Breakbreaker after defeating many of the Necro soldiers.

When Commander Tomman arrived, he saw only the cold corpse of his sister.

He went berserk.

"I'm sorry." Alison didn't know what to say.

"My lord is no more," said Tommen, "and now I have no allegiance." Are you satisfied now? ”

Alison wanted to ask "whether it is worth it to join the new regime", but she couldn't say a word. I'm afraid that the Okadians who want to hire him are doomed to failure......

"When you're satisfied, get out of the way." Tomman said.

Alison bowed slightly, then turned to leave. It would be rude to speak again at this point.

But Tommen suddenly frowned. He was sure that an Okadian soldier was watching him. Perhaps, this rash contact will bring trouble to that Errios female soldier?

"Come back." Captain Tomman said softly.

Alison turned her head and looked at the man in front of her suspiciously.

"You haven't finished your question yet."

"Yes," Alison said honestly, "a friend of mine works under the new chief. She invited me to join in. I ......"

Without warning, Tomman suddenly hit Allison in the lower abdomen with a sudden knee. The blow was powerful and struck at an old wound in Alison's abdomen. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground, the pain so severe that she couldn't stand up for a while.

It's not that Alison is too lax. It's really too big a gap between the two people's martial arts......

Alison's screams attract the attention of the others. In the distance, the exclamations of other captives and the shouts of Okadian soldiers could be heard. That's fine, Captain Tomman thought to himself. In this case, it will be dealt with as me unilaterally bullying the other captives.

"When did you have the illusion that we have a choice?" He lowered his head, stomped his foot on Allison's chest, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "You think you can choose freedom or glory; But in fact, we can't do anything but try our best to survive. ”

The Okadian guards were already running this way. In their eyes, there was just a one-sided beating. As long as Alison continues to roll on the ground in pain, the end result is only Tomman locked up.

But Allison suddenly became angry. Out of nowhere, she jumped up from the ground with her hands and grabbed Tommen by the shoulder. Tomman was caught off guard and slammed his vest into a low wall beside him.

"We're not just going to live," she said through gritted teeth, "it's more about why we're alive." ”

Tomman roared and lunged at Alison, only to be held firmly behind by the two Okadian guards. His strength was too great for either of them to suppress him, and in the end the new soldiers all pressed on his back before they could barely subdue him. Alison was pinned to the ground by several other Erios captives, one of whom was none other than her classmate Inga.

"Calm down, Alison!" Inga said in Alison's ear.

But it didn't work. Alison and Tomman still glared at each other.

"Everyone, go back!" Okad's officers finally arrived.

……

The administrative district of the pure white city.

Wendy is overseeing the rebuilding here.

"Allison, she seems to be causing some trouble." Ryan from Solidar College whispered. He had just received the news that Alison had been locked up in a prisoner of war camp for provoking special prisoners and brawling.

"She'll figure it out," Wendy said mildly, "and you tell the POW camp not to punish too harshly." ”

Pastor Okade, who was beside her, pursed his lips and did not speak.

This little fox still misses the old love...... He thought. As the right-hand man lent to the Speaker by the Warden, the Blue Ocean Junior Spellcaster is tasked with monitoring Wendy's movements. So far, he has secretly performed three polygraph spells on Wendy.

As it turns out, Wendy only lied about "she doesn't care about her future" – she's very keen on getting promoted. In addition, whether it is diligence in work or loyalty to the speaker, Wendy can be called a "model".

This little selfishness, as a reward for her loyalty, let her go.

So the watchman didn't say anything.
