Chapter 34: Roland's Betrayal
The airship flew through the air.
Roland watched as the black gunboat turned into a ball of fire, falling in the distance. A sad look appeared on his calm face.
At this time, behind him, a cloud of smoke was gradually forming.
Maxim appeared on the bow deck panting.
"It's dangerous. I almost couldn't come back. Maxim said.
"Come back, you should belong to that ship. Roland looked at Maxim and drew his broadsword.
"Don't do that, we don't have to fight anymore. It's all over, Roland. Maxim spread his hands and said: "The gunboat has crashed, and the brigade commander Night Stalker is dead." Your squad has all been killed, and you're not in good shape. ”
Maxim looked at the injury on his shoulder.
His wounds had not healed completely, and it could be seen that after the fierce battle just now, Roland's mental power had been consumed so much that he could no longer adequately treat himself.
"Will you just let it go?"
"Of course, I don't need to keep fighting, and we've already won and lost. I lost, and I was convinced. Maxim said sincerely:
"Preserving my strength and not taking risks is my principle, and it is also the reason why I have been able to go in and out of the battlefield many times and am still alive. All we have is this airship, and I just want to be able to land safely once it reaches the nearest airport. ”
Roland was indeed at the end of his crossbow at this time, and the battle with Leon was not so easy. So it was best to avoid fighting, so Roland accepted Maxim's suggestion.
"Well, if that's the case, we can live in peace, but if you dare to play any tricks on us, I'll drag you to hell even if I die. ”
Roland sat down against the side of the ship, and he was now in dire need of regaining his mental strength. Maxim also sat down on the side of the ship opposite, after the two incarnations just now, his mental power consumption was also very huge, and he had to hurry up to recover.
The two sat facing each other.
"I believe that through the performance of your men, I am convinced of this. ”
"They are not my men. ”
Maxim looked at Roland in bewilderment.
"They are my friends. ”
Roland said bitterly. With that, he turned his head to look at the airship that was falling with a huge amount of smoke on the side of the ship. It was the gunboat that the Night Stalker was riding, and it was burned down by the immense power of the Super Flame Bullet released by Carl before he died. Although the airbag is filled with inert gas and does not burn, many things in the airbag itself and the hull are combustible.
Now that gunboat has turned into a big fireball. It was falling towards the sea below, and there was a large thick fog in the ocean, which was slightly weird, but Roland had no intention of taking a closer look at it at this time.
"I have a proposal. After a moment of silence, Maxim spoke: "The Nord family is finished, Roland, you are a smart man. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Huh. Maxim smiled: "The Nord family has been wiped out, why are you desperately protecting the last single seedling?"
Roland was silent.
"There is a treasure on the body of the qin, called the Immortal Immortal Death, it is the heirloom of the Nord family, as long as you get this thing, it can be said to be a tiger with wings for the powerful. Even if it is handed over to the military, it can be exchanged for immeasurable wealth. ”
Roland remained silent, as if thinking.
"And the bounty for Jean himself to be wanted is also 500,000 ......"
Seeing that Roland was silent, Maxim continued: "How about we divide the eternal death of the Heroic Spirit and the 500,000 bounty? I can suffer a little loss, and the Immortal Immortal will be given to you, and I will take the piano away." What do you think?"
Roland smiled, but didn't answer.
Maxim didn't get a response from Roland, but he didn't care, on the contrary, he suddenly burst into a self-deprecating wry smile: "Hahaha, look at what I said, I'm really confused." I almost forgot, but you are a knight, you have your chivalry and reputation, and if you were asked to hand over the piano to the military, you would definitely not will. Honestly, I don't want to do that. ”
Maxim was actually only tentatively asked, because he had heard of Roland's chivalry.
"Why don't I make another proposal. Maxim put away his smile, sat up straight, and moved closer to Roland:
"Qin is an ordinary person, she can't keep this treasure, and you know it. ”
"As long as she carries this treasure for one day, there will be one more day of danger. Why don't you give it to me, and I can give you 100 - no! 5,000,000 gold coins, with which you can flee to any country in the Eastern Continent and start a new life, and I will give up at once, no longer wade into this troubled water, I will disembark at the nearest airport, return to Beiao, and report to my superiors that you have died in this North Asian sea. You will never be hunted down again. How?"
Roland was still thinking.
"Please, Roland, you've done your best, it's great that you're able to escort her to this eastern sea, but as long as the Heroic Spirit is still here at Qin, there will be countless pursuers. Give it to me, and you can start a new life in the Eastern Continent, isn't that the best choice?"
"Or do you want to keep it to yourself?" Maxim squinted slightly, looking at Roland sarcastically.
Roland seemed to be moved, he ignored Maxim's questioning, and suddenly asked, "Can you promise not to reveal our whereabouts when you go back?"
As soon as Maxim heard that Roland was relieved, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "I can make a life and death oath!" You also know that once our teacher has made an oath, we cannot break the oath, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious. ”
Roland asked again, "You have so many gold coins on you?"
Maxim hurriedly said: "I can transfer money at the nearest airport! As long as there is an Imperial Bank, I can transfer money." ”
"Okay, 5 million! That's it. ”
"That's right, Roland, you're really smart. ”
Roland nodded, stood up, and walked towards the cabin: "Come on, let's go and get the Immortal Soul to pass away." ”
Maxim also hurriedly followed.
As he approached the hatch, Roland had entered the dark cabin. Just as Maxim was holding on to the hatch with one hand to enter, a golden light suddenly shot out from the hatch, and a great sword broke through the darkness and came straight above Maxim's head.
This sword came from the darkness, fast and accurate, and Roland used the "light transmission" - Roland's mobile thinking skill, which can be described as unguardable. But Maxim is a battle-hardened man after all, and at critical moments, he once again showed extremely high survival skills. I only heard a strange cry from him, and pulled out the short knife from his waist with both hands, crossed it on the top of his head, and with a sound of "dang", the short knife was pressed only an inch from the scalp, and it was worthy of receiving this sudden attack.
