"Oh? Can it be compared to Evans's family? There aren't many of them in the Middle Kingdom. Altheus touched his chin with interest, "What do you think are the chances of winning if these two of you go against the two of you?" ”

"Emperor Yutian, I can't say this well. After all, I haven't fought against them in the academy, but from the relevant information I know, I guess that if I play against them alone, I have a good chance of winning. "That girl named Tsubasa is not good at hand-to-hand combat, but she is a rare expert at long-range attacks, and her shooting can almost be said to be a hundred shots." Feren, on the other hand, is both near and far, with a balanced strength, but is better in close combat. ”

"Good! Then no problem - follow my orders. ”

"Yes!"

Shouhe and Shirley were preparing and replenishing supplies in the imperial capital, and they were ready to go to the border between the two countries five days later. But! Alshuster emphasized these two words, "You should not make contact with the front-line troops of the Desert Empire. The two of you will lead all your men and horses to hide in the mountains fifty kilometers from the front-line troops, and allow the use of optical camouflage. Wait for the next step when you arrive at your destination. Above! ”

"Obey the Emperor's orders! If His Majesty has no other instructions, his subordinates will retire first. ”

After receiving Alcius's approval, the two bowed and left the main hall. The Emperor of Heaven silently looked at the backs of the two of them leaving side by side, and did not say a word. After a long silence, he suddenly said to himself, "Do you see something?" ”

"Nope." As the clear male voice sounded, a secret door on the side wall of the main hall was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked into the hall, "However, Shirley's heart seems to be struggling. ”

"Hehe, after all, he is still young, and his emotions are still easy to show through some appearances." Altheus turned to the figure, "Amisis, it's been really hard for you in the past few years, so that you have been hiding your strength and lurking in the academy. I think with your level, you can still get the first place on the holy list. ”

The silver-haired young man in his twenties stood in the center of the main hall, his amethyst-like eyes were unwavering, and it was none other than the former tenth place in the Holy List Arena that had fought Catherine twice - Amisis.

"Not necessarily, the people of the Dark Sanctuary Academy are all burdened with their own secrets, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems." Amisis shook his head slowly, "Needless to say, Lord Shouhe, his strength can be said to have maintained a rapid growth in the past few years. And Nagisa has always hidden his strength. Although I didn't have the opportunity to see his battle in the final battle in the academy library, with this person's style, he definitely didn't have all the cards in his holes. ”

"Well, Evans is a man who has reservations even in the face of life-and-death crises - because he has been proving that those so-called life-and-death crises are completely safe for him."

"That's why we have such a plan. Isn't it? Honorable Heavenly Emperor. Amisis placed his right hand on the place of his heart, and bowed slightly.

"Well, you're right, I hope the two of them don't let me down. By the way, how's your Susanoo doing? ”

"It's already in the early stages of testing, and with their help, the progress has really improved a lot."

"Alright, let's get here first. Amisis, go do what you have to do, I have something to attend to. With that, Altheus turned and left from the back of the main hall.

On the other side, after Shouhe and Shirley left the main hall, they did not make any stops, but quickened their pace. It didn't take long for the two to return to Shouhe's apartment.

"Senior Shouhe......" Shirley was about to say something, but was stopped by Shouhe.

"Shh Shouhe made a silent gesture to her, then locked the apartment door behind his back, walked briskly into his study, and swapped the places of the few miscellaneous books on the shelves. Then, suddenly, a secret door opened on the wall opposite the bookshelf, and he gestured for Shirley to follow him. After both entered the chamber, the secret door closed silently, and there was not the slightest sign of moving.

"Senior Shouhe, is there a secret room with such a tight design in your apartment?" Shirley looked curiously at the structure of the secret room and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, just in case. I've built this chamber on my own since I moved in, and no one else knows about it, so it's the safest place to be. ”

Shirley couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Could it be that there will be ...... in the senior's apartment?"

"No one can pack a ticket for this thing, and although I have thoroughly inspected the apartment myself a few times, I can't guarantee that there is really no bugging and monitoring facilities. You don't know, I actually found quite a few bugs in the process of checking it myself. ”

"This ......," Shirley was a little complicated, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, does he already distrust us?" ”

"The Emperor of Heaven has always been suspicious, and although he is called a tyrant, he is not the kind of brainless person. Whether it is in terms of civil and martial arts, or in terms of military and combat power, it can be ranked among the top five monarchs of the Desert Empire. Shouhe thoughtfully, "He must have a confidant, but it is definitely not us." Not...... In fact, I always felt that the Emperor of Heaven had a force operating in secret, but he didn't get any evidence. ”

"So what does the senior think is the intention of the Emperor of Heaven to arrange this task for us? It was unbelievable that he sent the two of us to the front line, but he didn't have to come into contact with Feng Yeming. ”

"There is indeed a deep meaning in this, now on the front line of the border, in addition to the wind and night, there are also two guys from the god of fire and the god of death. Therefore, the purpose of the Heavenly Emperor's arrangement is nothing more than two possibilities. Shouhe thought for a while, snapped his fingers and said, "First, the Emperor of Heaven doesn't fully trust Feng Yeming, in order to prevent him from defecting before the war, so let us ambush there and deal with the unexpected." Second, the Emperor of Heaven is also suspicious of us, and asked us to go to the front line of the border to see our performance. ”

"This ...... I don't want to believe it, but it's the most likely. But what I don't understand is how the Emperor of Heaven can ...... about our affairs in the academy," Shirley was full of doubts.

"Heh, I guess every move of the two of us in the academy is all being targeted. It is impossible for the Emperor of Heaven not to install his own cronies in the academy, and it is estimated that our majesty has been planning this war for a long time. ”

"So what do we do?"

"Well, now I can only take one step at a time. Later, he will go back to his men and prepare to go. Shouhe's tone aggravated a little, "The things we talked about today are rotten in this secret room, don't show the slightest expression from words or expressions after you go out - just now in the main hall, Shirley you are a little out of control." ”

"Oh......" Shirley blushed embarrassedly, "Senior Shouhe, then I'll go back first." Tomorrow morning, let's set off to the designated place. ”

"Okay, that's it, I won't send you, be careful on the way back."

Shirley turned and strode out of the chamber and back to her apartment. She locked the door and sat down slowly against the wall, clasping her knees in her hands and burying her face in the crooks of her arms.

"Senior Shouhe, I'm really sorry, there are some things that can't be said even to you." Shirley said silently in her heart, "At least so far everything is under control, I hope there will be no surprises." ”

The handsome face of a blonde boy came to mind, and the corners of Shirley's mouth rose slightly, but two lines of warm tears flowed from her eyes. She didn't want to see him on the battlefield, but it seemed inevitable. That's why she hates war so much, and she hates the Emperor's choice to go to war for her own selfish desires.

Declaring war on the Middle Kingdom in order to get Saber is a ridiculous reason that Shirley can't accept in any way.

One person's possessiveness must be filled with the lives of thousands of soldiers. And behind death, there is a deeper pain: if a former friend or lover has to face the scene of a sword and soldier one day, how heartbreaking and miserable it is.

Although Shouhe always said that it was difficult to compete with the trend of a country by one person, she was still unwilling to give up easily. If the Emperor of Heaven insists on going his own way, then this time, let her be this untimely person. Whether it's a mayfly shaking a tree, or a mantis arm being a car, she just wants to follow the call of her heart.
