Chapter 23: The Dilemma of Choosing One or the Other

Brand and Leonay stood up in dismay, looking a little embarrassed.

Withstanding that level of attack at close range, it's already a blessing that he didn't die, where can he still take care of his own image.

Leonay didn't seem to be in serious trouble, although there were some small wounds on her body that were cut by rubble, but they were all hurt in painless places, and they wouldn't have much impact on her combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for Brand's quick reaction, which raised his hand and threw her behind her, and helped her resist most of the impact, it would be difficult to say what Leonay would be in now.

Brand's condition is honestly terrible, and the armor of the "Demon Haunted" has become tattered due to the terrifying impact just now.

Although his body was not seriously damaged because of that ironclad defense, the armor's amplification ability was not much left because of this.

This is not good news for Brand, and it is precisely because of the power of "haunted by demons" that he can barely manage to achieve a stalemate with Javier.

Now that this only basis has been lost, it is equivalent to saying that this battle is no longer suspenseful.

Even if Brand and Leonai still have the strength to fight, but in terms of Javier's strength, if there is no equal strength, a weak person and the like will kill as many as they want.

Just a glance to see their reality, Javier raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Although I am surprised that you are still standing here, it seems that this is the end of it, miracles will not always happen, and your defeat is a certainty."

"It looks like that."

Brand smiled bitterly, hot white smoke billowing from his body, and the demon haunted finally disappeared on its own because he was overwhelmed.

"The result is still the same fiasco as back then, I am really unwilling."

Brand sighed, his eyes darkening a little.

"I didn't expect that in the end, I didn't even force out your imperial tool, you are really as strong as a monster."

"I felt the irony, but I took it as a compliment."

Javier said lightly, and then raised the "riot breaker" in his hand, the bright silver gun body reflected the elegant moonlight, which looked very beautiful.

"This vassal tool is already comparable to the emperor in terms of performance, and without it, I can't suppress you to this point. So you don't have to be discouraged at all, I recognize your strength. ”

"I was actually comforted by you, I really went back more and more." Brand smiled bitterly, "You're probably the only one in the world who can use this kind of iron lump as a weapon." ”

Brand was well aware of the Riot Breaker's performance, as he had borrowed it from Javier to experiment with it himself.

This weapon is strong, but the weight of more than 200 catties is really not the best choice as a weapon.

If you use it instead, not only will it not help, but it will discount your own strength.

And Javier is a person born with divine powers, and his compatibility with this vassal is simply not high, he was defeated by this violent style of play back then.

Leonay, who was on the side, suddenly realized at this moment that Javier had forced the two of them to this point, and he hadn't used all his strength.

She had thought that the cavalry spear was Javier's imperial tool, but now it seemed that this was a big mistake.

Javier's strength still made them unable to see the real and the false, but there was no doubt that he was much stronger than them, and Leonay even had a faint sense of invincibility.

Javier is the abyss, and she is the one who peeps into the abyss, and the one who peeps into the abyss is peeped into by the abyss, and then overwhelmed by unspeakable fear, and cannot give birth to the courage to resist.

"Surrender, and it will spare your lives." Javier said lightly.

"You know it's impossible." Brand shrugged.

"Then go die!"

The cavalry spear was wielded like a swimming dragon, and Javier raised his spear in front, his fierce fighting spirit quickly wandering through his body, and his eyes were as cold as a knife.

In the next moment, with a crisp cracking sound, the ground was stepped out of the crack, and Javier rushed forward under this step.

There was no need to go on, and now what Havel had to do was bring them to their knees by force.

He had a lot to ask about the Night Raid.

Seeing Javier rushing over, Brand and Leonai both put on a fighting posture and were ready to fight to the death.

Just as Javier approached Brand, a scalp-tinging palpitation suddenly spread through his body like an electric current, and the fighting instincts he had cultivated over the years made him instantly understand the source of the danger.

Sniper rifles!?

When he thought so, Javier's body had already subconsciously reacted.

The cavalry spear turned from attack to defense, and it was crossed in front of the chest, and the bullets that came out of the way slammed into the hilt of the gun, and then it was ricocheted away, shooting through the street trees beside them.

After that, the loud gunshots resounded in hindsight.

Javier suddenly revealed such a big flaw, and of course Brand would not let it go.

He roared forward, unleashing a fierce combo attack with Leonay's cooperation, forcing Javier to step back and regroup.

After pulling the distance, Javier raised his head, his cold gaze shot straight over, and saw the face of the sneak attacker.

A pink-haired double ponytail girl and a glasses girl with long purple hair.

They were standing at the top of a tall building not far away, and the girl with two ponytails was holding a sniper rifle with green smoke coming from the muzzle.

That weapon Javier knew, and couldn't have been more familiar with, because it had once belonged to Najieta Beldyne's imperial tool, the Romantic Turret Pumpkin.

"Reinforcements? And it's that especially noteworthy sniper. Since Najeta gave her the Imperial Tool, it means that her shooting skills must be very good, plus the information she has obtained before...... Long-range combat is not good for me. ”

Javier made the most accurate judgment of the situation on the scene in an instant: "The sniper must be dealt with first, otherwise he will be passive once the fight starts." ”

Brand and Leonay also saw the two of them at this time, and the arrival of their companions made them instantly relieved.

"It's too slow! If you're a little bit late, I'm afraid you'll have to collect the bodies of Brand and me!" ”

Leonay waved at Main, shouting complaining words.

"What's the solution! We've just been through a tough battle! That woman from the Imperial Capital Garrison is really too difficult, and it took us a lot of effort to solve her. Ma Yin said loudly.

The women of the garrison?

Javier's heart moved, could it be that they were talking about Seleus?

Thinking about this, Javier's heart couldn't help but become a little impatient.

Although he has always said that the strong survive and the weak die, this does not mean that he despises the lives of his subordinates, but rather that he attaches great importance to this.

The girl who had been calling him the captain and smiling silly and with a somewhat extreme personality had unconsciously become one of the important things around him, and he didn't want Sai Leu to die at all.

"Hey, the girl from the garrison you just mentioned, how is she? You killed her? ”

Javier questioned Ma Yin unceremoniously, the oppressive force in his words almost condensed into substance.

Being questioned like this by a man he didn't know, of course, Emmain's character would not have a good face.

I was about to say, "Yes, yes, we killed her, and we didn't even leave her corpse", but after seeing the image of Javier, he glanced at the two Brand, who were beaten badly, and immediately realized the true identity of the person in front of him, and understood that if he really said this, he would probably die.

Ma Yin's mind turned, and the words became into his mouth: "I'm not dead yet, but the injury is very serious, and it's hard to say if I don't die if I don't treat it immediately." ”

Ma Yin knew that the person in front of him was Javier, and at the same time, she also knew that even if the four of them were to go together, they might not have much chance of winning.

After all, Brand can no longer use "Evil Spirits", and they have also suffered a lot of injuries because of the battle with Seleuc, and their combat power here is really limited.

So she played a trick when she said this, and she asked Javier to make a choice here.

Either go and rescue Seleuc immediately, which is tantamount to letting them go.

or fight them to the end, but Seleuc's life and death are difficult to guarantee.

The others immediately understood what Ma Yin meant, and stared at Javier without blinking, waiting for him to respond.

This is a big question about whether they live or die tonight, so they can't help but feel a little nervous, like felons waiting for the death penalty or a suspended death sentence.

If there's one person here who isn't too nervous, I'm afraid it's Brand.

In fact, after Ma Yin said that sentence, he exhaled deeply, and understood that this time his fate was saved.

He knew Javier too well, knew what kind of fiery heart was hidden under his mask of indifference, and knew what choice he would ultimately make in this dilemma of choosing one or the other.

"Hmph, if you're lucky, I'll let you go this time."

Javier snorted coldly, and walked away without looking back, his pace a little hurried.

Javier didn't think about the possibility that Main lied to deceive him, maybe Seleu was fine, or maybe Seleu was actually dead.

But Javier had no other choice, even if it was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, and he couldn't ignore it.

If his mistake in his choice led to Seleuc's death, then he would regret it for the rest of his life.

A hurricane suddenly blew under his feet, and Javier rose and disappeared into the night.

"Go back and tell Najeta that I'm going to kill the 'Night Raid' and shatter her boring fantasies!"

In the night sky, Javier's indifferent voice echoed, like the ringing of a bell, endlessly.

Brand smiled softly, a little silent, and he muttered to himself: "Javier, you really haven't changed at all, you look ruthless, but you actually value the people around you more than anyone else." ”

"My betrayal is a big blow to you, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't go back, and I'll follow through on my beliefs."

"Maybe one of us is destined to die, but the fact that you are my friend will never change......"
