"The end of this story, there are no crystal slippers, no gorgeous carriages and dresses, no gentle and kind princes, because this is not a fairy tale, but a war."

- Linya. Epitaph of Patterson (2155-2178), friend Sauron. Rasmusson, May 30, 2178

"Enough...... It's better not to fight any longer. ”

Char slowly withdrew his fist and raised his hand to wipe away the blood that Linya had splashed on his shoulder.

Linya lay on the ground, only half of the last broken sword in her hand, and the girl used the broken sword to support her body, trying to get up again.

The girl's left hand has been broken, her right shoulder has also been crushed and fractured, her left thigh has been dripping with blood under the attack of Char's hand knife, her ribs have been broken I don't know how much, and almost all of her internal organs have been injured or even broken by external forces.

Now Linya is not much different from a dead person.

But she barely stood up.

"As a warrior, you can do everything you can do, and it's not a shame to be seriously injured and defeated," Char sighed as he looked at the girl who was barely standing opposite, covered in blood, "We should have more people alive." ”

"I don't think so...... What special ...... do I have?"

Linya raised her hand and wiped the blood from her face, revealing an eerie, smile-like expression.

"I'm just a ...... A peasant girl from Yorkmore than that. ”

"Alas......" Char sighed helplessly and shook his head, "Forget it, it's over, I can only let you go and rest for a while." ”

Char turned around and took a few steps back. Holding the suitcase in his left hand, he rushed straight at Linya.

Linya held the half-truncated sword and met Char, but the girl who couldn't keep up with the other party's speed was easily bypassed, and then Char stepped on Linya's calf with one kick, directly breaking her calf!

The man in black didn't even look at the girl who fell heavily to the ground. Instead, she turned and walked to the door behind her, then placed her suitcase on the ground.

However, before Char could open the suitcase, the girl who had fallen to the ground and had broken a leg got up again, and then pounced directly at him!

"Enough!"

Char's voice brought anger for the first time, and the man in black military uniform turned around and directly stretched out his right hand, and a whirlwind of spiritual power instantly wrapped his right arm. Like a spiral drill, it pierced the girl's chest directly!

Char turned out to be a dual-line TF who sensed the flesh, and it was also a combat-type brainwave ability!

Without any accident, the girl's chest was directly pierced, and blood gushed out with Char's right hand, but because of the barrier of mental power, it was not stained with Char's sleeve.

But Linya didn't stop there!

The girl endured the sharp pain in her chest and grabbed Char's arm. Pull forward with all your might!

The sound of her flesh being torn apart came, and the girl with short flaxen hair did not hesitate to let her wounds expand. Turn a serious injury into a fatal injury, and you have to advance a few dozen centimeters!

Then, with a flick of the girl's right hand, a white dagger pierced through the metal suitcase that Char had placed on the ground.

Then, in Char's stunned gaze, an invisible electromagnetic pulse streaked through. The white metal box emitted a slight explosion.

"Became ......"

Linya watched as the dagger pierced through the metal box, and saw Char's hopes of breaking through the door in front of her completely shattered.

She was almost close to Char, and the faces of the two men were kept ten centimeters apart, so that every word in Linya's mouth was clearly heard by Charl.

"I don't care about your fights, I don't care about politics. Country, Faith ......"

"I don't have anything left...... My homeland, my dear friend...... And I don't know when I'll wake up again...... Loved ones ......"

"But at least...... In the end, I found a reason to fight......"

"I'm ...... High Knight ...... Linya. Patterson ......"

"Till death."

Char didn't speak, just quietly looked at the girl whose beautiful face was stained red with blood, and closed her eyes.

"Mr. Pierre, I just detected that Calitas has recovered and is gradually regaining control of the ship, I can resist for a while and ensure our retreat, but it has opened all the land passages of the Ark, and a large number of knights are entering, I Jianyì You better give up Karitas and come and join me immediately."

Char looked at the angry girl in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the cracked device that had been destroyed, without this girl, he could open the door in two minutes, even now, it was enough for him to remove Karitas's light brain and fight his way out of the incoming reinforcements-

If only he could open the door.

However, without the cracking device, it would take him at least fifteen minutes to break through the door.

"You won this game."

Char sighed, carefully pulled his right hand out of the girl's chest, helped her turn, and sat down by the gate she guarded until the end, "It's a pity. ”

Char sighed, but no one knew if he was sorry for his mission or the girl in front of him.

But in any case, her sacrifice was definitely not meaningless.

Char stood up, shook the blood from his sleeve, and walked to the other end of the room.

The electronic door opened, and the man in black left the passage without looking back.

"Don't hear from Linya?!"

Ling Yu gasped, a little reluctantly following Sauron and the other knights who were galloping at full strength, and Helis followed closely behind, then shook his head.

Ling Yu and the others barely lost time, and after getting off the plane, Helis got in touch with Karitas, and Payne, who had resumed communication earlier, was deployed to the dock to prevent the other party from evacuating, while Sauron and Ling Yu rushed directly in the direction of Karitas with the knights.

And at this time, Helis told everyone that Linya had already entered.

It wasn't known why Linya had gone in, but it was clear that she was in extreme danger right now.

"It's just ahead! Ahead is the main passage to the Ark! ”

Sauron waved his hand. Everyone is picking up the pace again!

Ling Yu turned the corner and saw the electronic door in front of him, according to the information on the contact lens, Linya was likely to be behind this door.

As soon as Herris turned her ears, the electronic door opened, and everyone rushed into the hallway without hesitation.

There is no Charl. The bridge door remains sealed.

But the girl with short flaxen hair had accumulated a deep pool of blood under her body.

"Linya!"

Sauron shouted, and rushed straight forward, "Medic!" ”

"Sauron...... Brother ......"

The girl who heard the call barely opened her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth at Sauron, "He didn't ...... Success ......"

"I know! I know! Sauron gritted his teeth and nodded, turned around, and waved at the knight behind him, "Immediately arrange a pursuit along the road!" ”

"Don't!"

Linya, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly raised her voice. The girl reached out and grabbed the hem of Sauron's clothes, and Sauron turned his head to see an almost pleading gaze.

"Don't ...... Go...... Die...... Char is...... Dual-line ......"

Sauron was stunned for a moment, glanced in the direction of Char's escape, then at the dying girl, and finally, Sauron shook his head. Retracted his order.

"Linya, it's okay...... We're almost going to take back the Ark. Hold on, I'll take you to the medical pod right away......"

Linya faced Sauron's lame comfort, and didn't speak, just shook her head gently.

"Ling Yu ......"

Just when Sauron didn't know what to say, Linya, who was sitting next to the door, suddenly spoke, her turquoise pupils bypassing Sauron. looked at Ling Yu behind him.

"I'm here."

Ling Yu stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and stretched out his hand to gently place it on Linya's hand, "Thank you...... All of us...... Thank you. ”

All the knights subconsciously lowered their heads, although it was not their fault. But the feeling of self-blame has slowly spread.

In the end, the one who fought to the last moment to protect the cavalry and protect Karitas was just a girl who was deprived of her knighthood.

Perhaps, this can no longer be described as ironic.

"You are God...... Right...... Jeunese said so...... Jesse doesn't lie...... So you must be God, right......"

Linya raised her hand and grabbed Ling Yu's collar with some difficulty, Ling Yu could even feel that the girl had reluctantly concentrated the strength that had almost disappeared on her hand and pulled her neckline.

"So...... If you really are God, then please save your most devout believers...... For the sake of those who are most devout in prayer for you......"

"Why should we ...... Shed blood and sacrifice for the sake of those infidels, fanatics, and indifferent majority......"

"Why ......"

Linya's hand holding Ling Yu tightened suddenly, and then, the girl's strength disappeared little by little, and finally, it drooped.

The gaze in her pupils dissipated.

At the end of her life, what the girl wants may not be an answer, and perhaps at the end of her life, she still understands that even God has some things that he cannot change.

But she still asked such a question, a question that Ling Yu would never be able to answer.

Ling Yu stretched out his hand and gently closed the girl's eyelids, covering the emerald green pupils behind her.

"I'm sorry ......"

Sauron lowered his head, holding back tears, and with trembling fingers he removed the knight's badge from his neckline, carefully pinning it to Linya's empty neckline.

"Herris, open this door."

There was not a single tear in Ling Yu's eyes, and the young man slowly stood up and suddenly spoke without warning.

"I said open the door."

Ling Yu raised his head, looked at the door in front of him that Linya guarded with her life, and repeated it to Helis.

Ling Yu......

"I just want one answer." Ling Yu still didn't look back, staring at the gate deadly, "Too many people have died for this damn answer. ”

"I won't allow it."

Just as Helis was about to nod, Sauron's voice suddenly came, and the knight chief raised his hand and wiped the tears from his eyes with a pure white glove, "According to the agreement, your final verification must be in the presence of a high-ranking alliance official. ”

"I won't allow you to do anything to break the agreement, no matter who you are, our enemy is the ACA, it's Char, I've had enough of the senseless political compromises, this time, I won't allow any more surprises!"

Sauron turned his head and looked at Ling Yu's side face, his expression angry and distorted, but the anger was not directed at the black-clothed young man in front of him.

"Even for a minute, I don't want our time to be delayed!"

Ling Yu didn't speak, just stared at the door, and just as the air was close to freezing, Herris's words suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

The turbofan in which General Yang Song-taek and the Allied delegation were traveling landed near the main entrance of the Ark three minutes ago, and could arrive here within five minutes.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for five minutes."

Ling Yu was silent for a moment, but finally nodded slightly, and the black-clothed young man clasped his hands in front of his chest, raised his head, and looked at the gate again.

Karitas, Ark, Child of God, Strategic Alliance......

Words appeared on the silver-white walls for no reason, and he suddenly saw that there was not a single word among these flashy words.
