Chapter 40: Javier's Determination

Hearing Arrovin's answer, Najeta's brow furrowed, and her face looked confused.

The black fox she knew should be a very rational person, his every decision will be in line with his own actual interests, if his own losses are too great, he will never risk the lives of his subordinates.

And in terms of the situation at this time, it is obviously not a good choice to leave the night attack, which will only cause both sides to lose, and no one will be pleased.

Bravado? A strategy to stall for time? Or is it ...... Is Arowen really sure of victory?

Najeta's face grew ugly, and a wave of foreboding surged through her heart, and she felt that she might have overlooked something.

And at this moment, a long and violent howl suddenly came from the night sky in the distance, the sound came from far and near, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the top of the imperial capital, with the eyes of the people present, they could already clearly see the outline of the inhuman creature soaring above the sky, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

The strong body contains indescribable strength, the pitch-black scales wrap the whole body like armor, the long and thick neck is bent powerfully, the top of the head and the sides of the jaw are long and sharp horns like an awl, the miserable white fangs are like sharp swords flashing with a penetrating cold light, a pair of well-defined bat wings spread wildly, and the unbeatable majestic gaze is like a king patrolling his territory.

Existence at the top of the food chain, super dangerous species!

Only such a great being in this world can have such a terrifying coercion!

"That's ......"

Although many of the people present had seen the creature for the first time, some of the guards had heard of Javier raising a dangerous dragon in his yard.

And what does the appearance of this black dragon in front of you mean?

Thinking of this, their expressions couldn't help but start to cheer up.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Captain! ”

Seleu was the first to cheer: "It's the captain who is back!" ”

The crowd around them was in an uproar, and everyone showed more or less peace of mind, as if a big stone had suddenly been put down in their hearts.

The mere return of one person can bring them such power, Javier Salmondo, this man has unwittingly become their true spiritual leader.

Compared with the joy on the side of the garrison, Najeta's face sank, and a majestic sense of crisis instantly surged into her heart, making her hands and feet cold, and she yelled in a hoarse voice: "Retreat!" Full retreatβ€”β€”! ”

Not daring to linger any longer, Javier's return disrupted all her plans.

Damn it! Isn't this guy supposed to be chasing down Nagarkid and Hemi thousands of miles away now? Why is it in the Imperial Capital!?

It's too late to think about the reason, and if you don't evacuate quickly, when Javier actually arrives here, there really won't be a chance to leave!

However, Najeta still thought too simply, the eyes of death were already fixed on her, and the deadly scythe was already swinging at her!

An aurora suddenly burst out of the night sky, as if it came from the sky, but in an instant, the bright silver metallic luster wrapped around the milky white halo of the moonlight, tearing the air from top to bottom, emitting a terrible wind howl, like the heavenly punishment of the God of Judgment!

Javier's signature move, the giant throwing gun, has been launched!

It is hard to imagine that the terrifying power that kills everything is an attack launched by someone from a height of thousands of meters, what a terrifying strange power it is, completely beyond the category of "human"!

"Get out of the way, everybody!" Brand yelled.

"Najeta! Be careful! ”

Susanoo is worthy of being a super bodyguard, and he reacts extremely quickly, and he comes to Najeta's side in a flash, Najeta is seriously injured, and his body can no longer make evasive actions sensitively, and if he doesn't leave it alone, he may be directly bombarded into slag.

He quickly grabbed his left hand and pinned Najeta under his armpit, and sped to his feet, trying to get out of range as quickly as possible.

But he still underestimated the terrible speed at which the cavalry guns fell......

Just when Susanoo escaped with Najeta at a distance of only seven or eight meters, the heavenly punishment had already fallen!

With the place where Najeta was standing just now as the center point, the energy fluctuations that destroyed everything exploded violently, like a small missile being detonated, everything around it was destroyed in an instant, and a huge pit suddenly appeared!

The rubble was shot in all directions, and the dirt was crushed into smoke and dust, spreading wildly, and not a single member of the night raider completely dodged the blow, and although there were no casualties, everyone was left in a terrible mess.

On the contrary, it was the Imperial Capital Garrison and the Falcon's side, probably because they were often practiced by Javier, they had already taken precautions against this move, and they all retreated far away, and they were not affected.

Brand got up from the ground, shook the dirt off his body, and before he could make any more movements, a silhouette of an orthodox figure falling from the sky had suddenly approached him.

The steely fist was wrapped in a sharp wind, and it slammed into his head as it fell.

The attack came so fast that Brand barely prepared for it, so he held his arms up and held the red-backed shrike sideways in front of him, hoping to block the thunderous blow.

The fist made violent contact with the center of the hilt, and the spear, forged from Tyrande's fangs, bent into a terrifying arc in an instant, and the fist that struck was no more than an inch away from Brand's head.

One of their legs was rooted in the earth, and the other was suspended in the air, their eyes colliding, and they both saw each other's resolute intentions.

Following the decapitation of Zank, the former best friends finally meet again - as killers and imperial generals, as enemies on the battlefield!

The stalemate didn't last long, Javier suddenly turned his fist into a claw, grabbed the handle of the gun with his backhand, and immediately spun his body down from above, drawing a beautiful arc, and at the same time kicked out a leg suddenly, hitting Brand in the chest like a battering tree.

With nowhere to hide, Brand withstood the blow stubbornly, most of the blast was fended off by the demon-haunted defenses, but the remaining fraction of the force was still not to be underestimated, knocking his body upside down and flying out, and the ground was rubbed into two smoky scratches.

After drawing a distance of about ten meters, Brand's body was stabilized by a force coming from his back, and he was able to stop.

Looking back, he saw that Susanoo was standing behind him for some time, and next to him was the pale Najeta.

Red Hitomi, Mayne, Tazmi and the others also slowly leaned over, among which Leonai supported the injured Lubbock, and all the members of the Night Raid gathered together.

On the other side, Arowen and Ran and Seleuc also stood beside Javier, staring at the night raiders, who had been carried away by the guards because of his injuries, and was receiving emergency treatment.

Wright, the current captain of the garrison, was clearly very eye-catching, and he made the garrison form a larger encirclement on the perimeter, leaving the battlefield to Javier and them, trying not to hold the falcon back, but also to support him at a critical time.

Javier's gaze coldly swept over Najeta and the others, and when he saw the three Tazmi who were supposed to be in the Imperial Prison, he couldn't help but cast an inquiring look at Arrowen.

Arowen spread his hands and smiled helplessly, indicating that he really tried his best.

Javier turned his head and didn't say anything harsh.

Now is not the time to hold accountable, and these are minor issues, so what if you escape? I'll lock you in in minutes!

He stared at Najeta, paying particular attention to the blindfold on Najeta's right eye and the severed right arm of Arrowen, and finally said his first words since his appearance: "Cousin, you have become ugly." ”

Najeta, who was still brewing emotions, was almost so angry that she spewed out a mouthful of old blood at this sentence!

Did Nima talk like that!?

Leonay and the others also changed color after hearing this, and looked at Javier as if they were looking at a warrior who was not afraid of death.

Not perceiving the psychological changes in the night raids, Havel continued: "You used to be so prosperous, but now you have become such a miserable situation, and your life in the revolutionary army does not seem to be easy. ”

After calming down her fluctuating mood, Najeta smiled reluctantly: "It's not all thanks to you, I didn't expect that immature brother to grow to such a point, this is really my mistake." ”

"Before I met you, I was just an idealist who looked at everything black and white, always on a rampage trying to show that I was right...... It was you who taught me the complexity of this world, and if it weren't for you, I would still be struggling between ideals and reality, so I'm grateful to you, and this is from the bottom of my heart. ”

Hearing this, Najeta shook her head and said: "You are not a person who will be overwhelmed by reality, no matter what the predicament, I believe you can get out on your own, I am just a dispensable catalyst." Even without me, it's just a few more circles for you to take around this road, and the result won't change. ”

"Are you complimenting me?" Javier raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Of course, you're my proud brother!" Najeta's expression didn't seem to be fake.

"That's a real pleasure for me."

Najeta smiled slightly, and then said, "By the way, can I ask a question?" ”

"Please."

"You saw through our plan from the beginning, and then pretended to be a trick and left the imperial capital to hunt down the rebels, but in fact you secretly broke away from the main army and hid in a hidden place outside the city, waiting for us to come and rob the prison, right?"

"Yes."

"And how did you deal with Nagakidd and Hemi? Don't tell me you let them go, Javier Salmondo won't tolerate such a failure! ”

"You might as well guess."

The corners of Javier's mouth curved upwards into a nice arc.

Najeta sighed when she heard this: "Do you still need to guess based on your expression?" Those two people are probably also calculated by you, and they should be in different places now, right? ”

"Sure enough, you know me best."

The two men seemed to abandon their hostile relationship at this moment, talking like a pair of ordinary friends.

In the eyes of onlookers, the relationship between the two sisters and brothers seems to be a little special, there is a faint tacit understanding between them, more like confidants than family.

If it weren't for the opposing positions, they could have had a better future.

Of course, that's only if......

"Cousin...... No, Najeta, while I do appreciate you, that doesn't excuse me for forgiving you. ”

Javier's eyes lost warmth, and gradually became cold: "Betraying the empire is only death, you should have this awareness, right?" ”

"I'm sorry, the great cause of the revolution is not yet complete, and I can't just die."

Najeta shook her head and said seriously, "The Empire is already terminally ill, and it will only add to the pain if it continues to survive...... Wouldn't it be a good option for you to abandon it and build a new country from scratch for you, for me, and even for the people of this country? I don't quite understand your reasons for insisting on being on the side of the Empire. ”

This is not only Najeta's doubts, but also the doubts of Brand and even Leonai and others.

Judging from what Havel has done, he is not a person without a bottom line, although he buried a lot of lives with his own hands, but fundamentally he is still a good person, a good person who is capable, ethical and rational.

Why would such a person go against the general trend of the world? Isn't what he should be doing to overthrow this corrupt country and save more people?

So, Najeta didn't understand Javier, and neither did Brand.

Because of this fundamental disagreement, the end between them was doomed from the beginning.

Looking at Najeta calmly, Javier said indifferently, "Reason? Why is there a reason? I just did something that I took for granted. ”

His voice was deep and powerful: "I was born in the empire and grew up in the empire, and the empire is another mother for me, and now my mother has a serious illness, but you tell me that you want to change one?" ”

"No kidding!"

His voice was raised and roared like thunder, clearly expressing his anger: "What if the people can be happy? When an empire is no longer an empire, what is the difference between it and being destroyed by other countries!? ”

"Could it be that if you say that your country is about to be destroyed, as long as you use the guise of the happiness of the people, you can do that treason without guilt!?"

"The Empire will never die! I wouldn't allow that to happen! My honor as a soldier of the Reich will not allow it! Since you have forgotten your duty, I will take over the responsibility! ”

"I will save the Empire and the people of the Empire! If this is my calling, I will do whatever it takes to accomplish it! ”

After Javier's words, the audience was silent!

Whether it was a night attack or a falcon, or the young people of the Imperial Capital Garrison, they all felt slightly touched and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Najeta opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything to refute it.

It is true that she did not join the revolutionary army out of any dirty intentions, she really wanted to save those people who had been in dire straits.

In her view, the decaying empire is the culprit of all evils, and only when the empire falls can the people be redeemed.

However, this set of rhetoric clearly failed to impress Javier.

Havel is a true patriot who loves the country dearly and can give everything to it.

He was loyal to the Empire, not to the little child who now sat on the throne, nor to the so-called royal family with the noble surname of Ahiborne, but to the Empire itself.

A country that has lasted for thousands of years and has left a deep imprint on his soul!

He is a soldier, a soldier full of a sense of honor and mission, the empire occupies an incomparably important position in his heart, and anyone who wants to endanger the existence of the empire will face his boundless anger!

Whether it is a minister or a revolutionary army, what his spear points at, there is no piece of armor left!

It is true that the empire is decaying, but so what?

The rotten political system can be corrected by human force, and it is a natural obligation to be a courtier, although it is not an easy thing to change, but this cannot be a reason to betray one's own country, and those who dare to do such things deserve death!

The people are indeed very important, but only with a country can there be a home, and if the country does not make the country, what is the meaning of the people's happiness?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Najeta, and Brand, we weren't supposed to end up like this, but because of a joke by the god of fate, we took different paths and gave us a reason to keep fighting. ”

Javier raised his right hand and sucked slightly into the hole not far away, and the bright silver cavalry spear spun back into his hand as if it had suddenly been brought to life.

He stood with his gun in his hand, assuming a battle stance, and the chill in his eyes almost overflowed.

"I'm sorry, but you're in my way, so you must die!"

The surrounding air seemed to condense into substance at this moment, and the heavy pressure filled everyone's hearts like a dark cloud.
