In the mountains, ten kilometers north of the imperial capital, the "night attack" base.

On the training ground, Tazmi was firing on fire, roaring hard, and the wooden sword in his hand danced one phantom after another.

Brand, who is the subject of Tazmi's practice, feeds him with ease, either blocking or stabbing, each time he can neutralize Tazmi's attacks, and the occasional assault can keep him busy.

After a long time of attacking, Tazmi gradually became impatient, so the next move slashed too hard, revealing a big flaw.

Brand would not let go of such an opportunity, the spear immediately swept over, Tazmi was able to block, but was still pushed by a huge force more than ten meters away, and two scratches emitting green smoke appeared on the ground.

"Bang dang!"

The wooden sword fell to the ground, and Tazmi's arm trembled slightly, but because of the temporary paralysis of the muscles caused by the sweeping attack just now, even the sword was no longer stable.

"What's wrong, Tazmi? The momentum is okay, but the moves are too inflexible! ”

Brand stood with a gun in his hand and shouted with a stern expression: "On the battlefield of life and death, there is no way to survive to the end with only a moment's blood!" ”

"I see! Eldest brother! ”

Tazmi was forced to lift his spirits and reached out to pick up the wooden sword on the ground, but the long training had exhausted his body to the extreme, and the wooden sword was picked up three times, and it fell three times.

"Forget it, don't force yourself." Brand shook his head, "Your body has reached its limit, let's stop today's training, if you continue to practice like this, you won't be able to leave any dark wounds." ”

Hearing Brand's words, Tazmi's nerves relaxed, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for breath, not wanting to move a finger.

Brand sat next to Tazmi, and after the training, the smell of the iron-blooded instructor on his body immediately disappeared, and he became the hearty big brother who usually cared about his juniors, and he looked at the young man beside him gently.

"I'm working harder than usual, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Tazmi's expression moved, and he said with some depression: "...... I just want to get stronger quickly, and I don't want to experience that feeling of being powerless because of my weakness. ”

Tazmi actually cares a lot about what happened in the last assassination mission to "Decapitate Zonk", in the face of an unprecedented enemy, he can't do anything, he can only watch the red pupil and Arrowen fight in a daze, seeing that the red pupil is in a disadvantageous situation and can't help.

Like a coward, he hid in fear and fled in embarrassment.

Upon returning to the base, Tazmi discovers that Red Hitomi is injured and wants to escape from Arovin's men, but even Red Hitomi pays a price.

Although neither the Red Hitomi nor the "Night Attack" had any intention of blaming him, he had a strong sense of self-esteem but regarded it as his own responsibility, and if he had enough strength to join forces with the Red Hitomi to deal with Arrowen, maybe such a thing would not have happened.

So Tazmi desperately wants to become stronger, and has been honing himself like crazy in recent times, even if it is only one point stronger than yesterday, he can't tolerate that he continues to be so incompetent and weak!

"I can't keep holding everyone back, only by hurrying up and having strong strength can I protect my companions!"

Tazmi said earnestly, his clear eyes unwavering.

"Hahahaha - not bad, great determination! You're starting to grow, too! ”

Brand laughed with gratification, his broad palm slapping Tazmi's chest again and again, with such force that he almost fainted.

After resting for a while, Tazmi finally regained some strength, he propped himself up with his arms, half-sat on the ground, and said to Brand, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the boss in a while, where has she gone?" ”

"I'm going to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army." Brand sighed, "Javier has put too much pressure on her, especially the failure of the last mission has made her feel a sense of crisis, so she decided to go to the headquarters to ask for human support." ”

"So we'll have new companions joining us?"

"That's right." Brand nodded, "The Revolutionary Army is not only an assassination unit of 'Night Raid', but also in other regions, each unit has a different mission, and the boss is planning to transfer people from other troops this time, or try his luck to see if there are any newcomers who have just joined." ”

"I'm actually not optimistic about the result this time, after all, every unit is not easy, and even if someone is transferred over, it will probably not be any reinforcement."

"That's ......"

Tazmi was about to say something more, but saw Red Pupil suddenly come over.

"Tazmi, Brand, there's a mission, assemble in the conference room."

In Najeta's absence, the position of leader of the "Night Raid" was temporarily replaced by Red Hitomi, who also led the team during the "Imperial Assassination Force" and was very experienced in dealing with similar work.

"Oh, I see." Tazmi nodded.

……

"This time the target is the drug trade organization in the imperial capital, as well as the aristocratic Zibul Leopold who supports them behind them."

"According to the client, the organization deceived the women of the slums into taking drugs, made them addicted, and then forced them to work in brothels to make a lot of money."

"The authenticity of the information has been confirmed by Leonay, and these people really deserve to die."

"This time the mission is divided into two groups at the same time, Mayne, Hill, you are responsible for assassinating the noble Zibul, that is a cautious guy, you can let Hill be responsible for causing a riot, Mayin, you are secretly looking for an opportunity to snipe."

"Leonay, Tazmi, you go to the lower city, the cadres in charge of solving the drug trade organization, the armed forces of those people are just some ordinary guards, it is not too difficult for you, but be aware that your appearance has been exposed, remember to sneak in."

is worthy of being the former captain of the "Imperial Assassination Force", and the appearance of the work is very much Najeta's style.

Red Hitomi analyzed some possible situations again, and told them corresponding countermeasures, and the whole process was lean and sophisticated, obviously not the first time to do such a thing.

"Hey, newcomer, don't die for such a simple task."

With a contemptuous look on her face, Maine defiantly challenged Tazmi.

"I'm not going to die! Let me worry about myself! ”

"Humph!" Ma Yin turned her head, her voice as arrogant as ever, "Miss Ben is a genius, don't compare me with a fool like you!" ”

"That's infuriating, you guy—" Tazmi went berserk.

"Don't worry, Tazmi, my sister will take good care of you."

Leonay grinned and put her arms around Tazmi, burying his head between his erect twins, then squeezing hard.

"Mmmmmm

"Oh oh, how can you bastard be so happy, Tazmi!"

Lubbock drooled at the sight, jumped and pounced on him in a hungry tiger pounce.

"Let me join one too! Sister Leonay! ”

"Bang!"

Lubbo was kicked mercilessly.

……

The imperial capital of the Upper Town, Javier's home.

"General!"

Javier moves the pieces and blocks all the opponents' moves.

Lan was silent for a few seconds, and finally sighed helplessly: "Bow to the wind." ”

This is already the fifth game, Lan's current record is five defeats, although he is not well versed in this, but he thinks he is not a weak hand, I didn't expect to lose so badly.

At first, I thought that I couldn't let my boss lose face, and I was going to release the water, but now it seems that this idea is really arrogant and ridiculous.

Javier glanced at him: "Don't think about releasing water next time, you would have had a chance to win." ”

"You see that?"

Lan smiled bitterly, Javier's chess skills are indeed higher than him, but they are also limited, and the reason why he lost so badly is mainly due to his mentality.

"Oh, although I don't understand it, the captain is really amazing! I even know shogi! Will exclaimed.

"I'm just interested in shogi, which contains the principles of the art of war, which is very enlightening to me." Javier said.

Lan nodded secretly, and said in his heart that the captain's annihilation of the Southwest Barbarians was really not a fluke, he was a rare master of the art of war.

Recently, the imperial capital has been peaceful, and there are almost no crimes on the surface, which are the result of the efforts of the "Falcon" people.

Since there was nothing to do, Javier simply took two days off to give everyone a good rest.

Everyone gathered at Javier's house today, mainly to hold a welcome party for Ran and Will, who had been postponed due to the lack of time and too busy, and now that they were finally free, Javier planned to make up for the party.

During the party, everyone ate and drank together, and Javier simply let go, with a little more smile on his face, drinking and eating, and communicating with everyone about the interesting things that happened on the southwest border, and finally on a whim, he played a few games of shogi with Lan.

Seleuc sat on the sidelines and looked at it with a smile, her heart was full of joy, since Javier came to the imperial capital, her life has become more and more fulfilling, and she is happy every day.

Unlike the previous life that was muddy and just supported by a belief, now she has truly found the meaning of life and worked hard to pay for it.

The fact that she listened to Javier talk to everyone and occasionally talked about the past made her feel that she had learned more about Javier.

She is not a greedy girl, but still wants to do everything in her power to hold on to her happiness, she likes Javier, and over time this affection becomes more and more intense, making her unable to do it herself.

It's not that I haven't thought about confession, I want to tell the other party about this mood several times, but after all, I am still a little afraid, the gap in identity is the reason for one party, and the main thing is that I am afraid of being rejected.

What if you get rejected? No...... In fact, in her opinion, the possibility of rejection is not low.

Occasionally, I heard from Arowen about a girl named Spiya, she is Javier's childhood sweetheart, the relationship between the two is very good, and that girl is still from a famous family, and Javier is a good match, no matter what aspect she has no chance of winning.

So, if she is really rejected, will she be able to stay with Javier?

The thought of the possibility of being alienated made her so frightened that she couldn't say a word, and sometimes even gave up on the idea of simply keeping the relationship she was in now.

But sure enough, he was still unwilling, Seleuc looked at Javier's side face, and his vision was a little hazy.

"What's wrong, Seleuc?"

Noticing Seleuc's gaze, Javier turned to look at her.

“…… Yes? Yes! It's okay, it's okay! It's just that I haven't seen Mr. Arrowan in a long time, and I'm wondering where he's fooling around now! ”

Seleucian's face was slightly red, she felt the heat of a fever, and she wittily used Arrowin as a shield.

Lan glanced at her meaningfully, smiled and didn't speak.

"That's right." Javier had no doubt about him, "I sent him on a secret mission, and I guess he will be back soon." ”

"Captain alone?"

Will looked strange, and he was a little reluctant to speak.

Although he had not been here for a long time, he knew that Arrowen was hopelessly lazy, and if there was no one to supervise him, he would probably fall asleep in the middle of the work, just like when he was dealing with official documents.

Javier knew what he was thinking when he saw Will's expression, and smiled: "It seems that you all have some misunderstandings about Arrowen, that guy is not really lazy, he is just tired of boring and boring work, and he is most happy to do this kind of mission that acts alone and comes with danger." ”

"That guy is actually more suitable for the battlefield than me, he was very active in the 'Barbarian Extermination War' in those years, thinking about how to destroy the enemy more efficiently every day, there are tens of thousands of guys who have been killed by him alone, and his name as 'Black Fox' is how he broke out."

"If it were in the peaceful era, a person like Arrowen would definitely be a dangerous person, I mean, he is a pervert who likes excitement, if he is serious, he is even more crazy than a madman!"

The three of them were silent, and when they thought about it, they realized that this was really the case.

Arowen exudes that kind of "so boring, so boring, boring that I want to die" atmosphere all day long, and he is always unable to lift up some things at work, which seems to be similar to laziness.

But when it comes to something related to the battle, he is like a doping, and the cruelty of killing people makes even those of them who have a lot of lives on their hands feel a little palpitation.

This person does have another side in his bones, crazy, bloodthirsty, and lawless, but he is usually well hidden.

Will suddenly remembered the only time he competed with Arrowin, the weapon was slashed by Arrowin, and at that moment it seemed that some desolate beast was staring at his neck, and his eyes were dangerous and cruel, as if he was about to tear his throat apart.

That feeling only appeared for a moment, so Will only thought it was his own delusion, but now that he thinks about it...... If he was Arrowen's enemy, I am afraid that a sharp blade had already slashed his throat at that moment.

Thinking like this, Will couldn't help but shudder, and said with a wry smile: "The vice captain is really a great character, my vision is still too shallow." ”

"If you can stand out from a place like the Southwest Military Region, you will naturally not be a simple person." Lan said admiringly, "It seems that working here in the Imperial Capital Garrison has suppressed his ability. ”

"That's right." Javier nodded, "He's not a person who can sit down and work calmly, so after you came, I let him lead the 'Shadow' troops, and that's where he can play his best." ”

"The captain really trusts Mr. Arrowen." Seleuc said with some envy.

"After all, he is a partner who grew up with me, besides him, how many people in this world can I trust unreservedly?"

Javier smiled, recalling the more than ten years he had spent with Arrovin, feeling a little nostalgic.

Everyone was infected, understood the sincere friendship between Javier and Arrovan, and all smiled.

"I'm back!"

Arowen's voice suddenly sounded outside, and after a while, he was seen swaggering in.

Everyone was in a delicate mood now, so the gaze that looked at him couldn't help but be a little complicated.

"You're having a party, and you're hungry, so you're welcome...... Hey? ”

Arrowan noticed the strange looks that everyone looked at him, so he put on a sassy posture and said triumphantly, "Could it be that I have become so handsome after I went out?" Waha-how, all surrender to Uncle Ben's charm, right? ”

Everyone had a black line on their faces, and the faint good emotions disappeared in an instant, and they cast a contemptuous look at them, and decided to ignore this narcissistic guy who couldn't understand the atmosphere.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a word! I'm getting handsome, right? ”

Only Arowen was still chattering there.
