31 The light of the silence
In the silence of the night, the world was shrouded in darkness, and the bright light in the distance could faintly make out the rising bonfire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of "crackling" emanated from the burning flames, making the cold body feel a little warmth.
"It's a pity I'm just a fake......"
I said this from the inside of my mouth, and there were many people around the campfire.
In such a place, although there is no shortage of relatively warm forests, most nights are colder than in the city, and at this time such campfires seem to have to be an option. Even though the campfire was not filled with firewood, it was made of tattered plastic, which even emitted a strange smell and black smoke when burning. But in order not to freeze to death at night, this became the only option.
"Speaking of which, our part is considered to have died here......"
A man was roasting the fire, his hands rubbing against each other, and even staring at the blazing bonfire.
"Speaking of which, if the boss really dies here, then who can still have enough prestige to command the revolutionary army."
The other man dressed in black looked at the flames and said the last thing.
The man seemed to fall silent for a moment, the light of the fire shining on his face.
"Probably the person named Zhang Jie......
In the end, he said so.
"O boy who claims to be the savior......"
The man in black yawned slightly, and the tears in his eyes had already appeared slightly.
"A smell of conspiracy, ......"
He groaned a little, but said so.
The man looked at the guy.
"Now that you know, what can you do...... It's out of reach......"
The man in black stretched out his hands, his outstretched hands facing the flames.
"Perhaps such a conspiracy began long ago...... It's just that we didn't know ...... at the beginning."
The glow of the black flames on his clothes was only faint.
"When we knew, we didn't have anything we could do. You must know that before this, a pair of invisible hands were already busy stumbling, first holding a savior out of great difficulty, creating political prestige for him, purging political enemies, and then even taking the initiative to promote him to the position of a national leader. In the end, he negotiated peace with the Federation, announced the illegal incident in the 14th district, and finally forced Uncle Gong Cheng to take the initiative to leave the moat alone. It's hard to say that the orcs were all made by this group of people, you didn't see how many people in the expeditionary force had been sending weapons and ammunition before, but they didn't make a little noise. When we got here, it was almost like throwing preserved eggs into the army, and then the orc army blocked the back road......"
"But...... I'm still guessing too little...... God knows what else is going on......"
The man in black was silent again......
The man looked at the guy in black and said.
"Okay...... Knowing so much, I'm not wronged anymore when I die......"
The man seemed to feel content.
Then he said.
"If I had known, I should have followed the example of Modi's woman. I wonder how such a guy who is almost radical to the bone could suddenly become so honest? Is it really because of peace that the revolution was abandoned? I'm a fool to think like that...... Such a shrewd woman......"
He looked at the man in black and said so.
"I guess this should have nothing to do with her, I guess I took her in advance. Without us knowing......"
"Don't know?"
The man said.
The man in black continued.
"For example, when Uncle Cheng just came back from the mercenary group, you must know that the time of Modi's confrontation with the Federation is no shorter than that of any family, and she is still a woman......"
The man said as if considering the word.
"Women?"
The man in black didn't talk too much on this topic, he just talked about it for a while and stopped talking.
The man did smile and said.
"In the era when we thought it was still peaceful, when we were still playing cards, a little bit of action began to start quietly, in the corners we couldn't see, constantly approaching us, but we were still at a loss, like a bunch of gnats who didn't know that winter was coming, playing a tune by themselves, and then winter came, and finally we all died here......"
Looking at the flames, then at the sky.
"Everything came so suddenly, and it came so that I felt incredible, and even a little clumsy, but I was forced to die by such a trick, and these people really did not complain about death."
The man said something like that.
"But if we really don't get out there......"
The man in black picked at the discarded plastic inside.
"It's useless, to put it bluntly, Uncle Cheng just has the prestige to command the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army does not have a unified leader. For the leader of a district, even if he is forced to fight, he can be defeated. ”
"No...... From the current point of view......"
"It doesn't matter if Uncle Cheng doesn't go......"
The man in black thought of this, but slowly added.
After the man heard this, he was stunned.
"But is it possible that the revolutionary army that we have believed in for so many years is finished?"
But soon he said almost as if he were a little crazy.
"Isn't there anyone who can stand up to him?"
The man in black did not answer his words, but said so.
"Hope for a miracle......"
"I know you're not afraid of death...... But according to the means of the Federation, he is not just targeting us, he is ready to completely destroy the revolutionary army in one fell swoop......"
"We lost...... I didn't lose unjustly......"
But before he could finish speaking, the man grabbed his neck and said.
He said as if he was begging......
"Could it be...... There's really no one to fight ......."
"Against what? Against the pair of beings who we didn't even see and had already played the revolutionary party half to death? ”
"Once Uncle Cheng dies, an era has come to an end...... The glory of an era has disappeared...... There will never be another person who can bring such a fragmented hope back to its entirety......"
"I ......"
What was the man trying to say......
I just looked at the tears in the eyes of the man in black, but I didn't know what to say anymore......
A choked sobs welled up between his snorts......
In the end, I just sighed faintly.
