The Sword of the Storm was resting on the neck of the old scimitar.

At this time, as long as Vega moved slightly, he could easily cut through the throat of the old scimitar, which was clear to both Vega and the old scimitar.

But the old scimitar did not move.

He slowly closed his eyes and waited for death to come, and in this moment, he did not show pain and fear like ordinary people, but his face was an expression called relief.

This kind of expression can only be possessed by those who are bent on seeking death.

Therefore, Vega was convinced that the person in front of him was not trying to deceive him for a chance to live, but was truly seeing death as a relief.

What is it that makes a person see death as relief?

There are thousands of reasons, and Vega didn't bother to guess, but put down the Storm Sword that was resting on the neck of the old scimitar.

"The General won't kill me?"

The old scimitar had a little surprise on his face, after all, he was an enemy, and being merciful to the enemy had always been a cruel manifestation to himself, but it was impossible for anyone who dealt with death every day not to know this, let alone make the mistake of cutting the grass without eradicating the roots.

"Don't get me wrong. ”

Vega looked at the old scimitar and said, "I just don't want to be an excuse for you to escape death, but please satisfy my curiosity a little, what kind of reality is it, and it is even more terrifying than death." ”

"Do you know what it's like to have a heavy burden on your shoulders?"

The old scimitar's tone was full of powerlessness: "The feeling of shouldering a heavy burden is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, looking forward to every word you say, looking forward to everything you do, expecting you to lead them back to freedom." ”

"But...... I couldn't do anything. ””

"You won't understand!"

The old scimitar showed a sarcastic expression: "You are no different from the empire, how can you casually bury tens of thousands of lives for your own selfish desires, how can you understand the meaning of responsibility, your heart is full of ugly selfishness." ”

"Do you think the wicked don't know responsibility?"

Vega recalls the expectations of his parents and friends in his previous life, but his incompetence lived up to them. It was at that time that he realized that he was not a genius, and that with his humble talents, he was destined to be unable to bear the responsibility that was enough to crush him.

"Do you think the wicked don't want to do good?"

Vega became a little excited, if he could save the world, then who wouldn't want to be a hero and be praised by others, who was born to be some demon who takes pleasure in killing.

But Vega knew deep down that his humble abilities were simply not enough to save the world...... No, he didn't even know if he could save himself, so he made a choice—

Become a selfish luster who lives for himself.

He also said to the old scimitar in a sneering tone: "Wake up, you can't protect yourself, how can you protect the whole world?" admit it, you are not a genius, and your humble power is not even as good as me, a wicked person. ”

The old scimitar lowered his head.

As Vega said, what ability and qualification does he have to save the children of the tribe and bring the tribe back to its former freedom?

"I ...... What to do......"

The old scimitar was a little confused in his eyes, and now there seemed to be only one way left for him, and that was to use death to escape responsibility, and to escape the expectations of his people that were enough to crush him.

Vega had already seen the old scimitar's heart: "You think it is useful to escape? No, you are wrong, there is no use in escaping, just as the dawn will come whether you expect it or not." No matter how you escape, your people are still enslaved, and your people are still not free. ”

"Stop thinking about saving the world. ”

Vega hit the nail on the head: "Look at the reality a little, you and I are just lowly mortals at best, before saving the world, let's learn how to destroy." It's always easier to destroy something than to repair it, and if you can't even destroy the empire, where is the confidence to save the tribe?"

"If you want to save, you must first learn to destroy!"

"Ruined ...... Imperial ......"

The old scimitar seemed to wake up from a dream, but in an instant it fell silent again: "I can't do it...... With my humble power, it is impossible to destroy the behemoth of the Empire. ”

"You have the courage to take on such a responsibility, why don't you have the courage to destroy the empire?"

"But, I'm 63 years old, is it too late?"

"If you don't win, you die, but if you don't fight, you won't win." ”

Vega stretched out his hand: "I don't want to save the world, but I want to save myself, you don't want to save yourself, but you want to save the world, whether it's to save yourself or the world, you and I are fundamentally the same." ”

"Come on. ”

Vega's hand finally clasped with the old scimitar's withered right hand: "With me, destroy the Empire." Before the empire is destroyed, even if my soldiers are killed and wounded, and your people are tormented, you and I are not worthy of mercy. ”

"Tell me what I should do. ”

The tone of the old scimitar was a little cold, at this moment he had let go of his responsibilities, put away his expensive compassion, and he, like Vega, had incarnated as a "demon" without humanity. Because the old scimitar has understood that at this moment, like Vega, he is not worthy of this responsibility at all, let alone to save the world.

Vega already knew his choice when he heard the words of the old scimitar.

He showed a grim smile and said, "What should I do?" I think this answer is very clear in your heart, there are nothing more than three pillars in the empire, the judgment, the army, and the government, I know the army, and you are familiar with the judgment system, so you come to destroy the judgment system, and I will defeat their army...... When the time comes, the toothless tiger still wants to support the entire empire?"

That's why Vega convinced Old Scimitar.

Because Vega didn't know much about the trial system, he couldn't figure it out at all.

As an internal member of the trial system, Lao Machete's understanding of the trial system is certainly not something he can compare, and with the assistance of Lao Machete, an 'insider', it is no longer impossible to paralyze the trial system.

Moreover, if he finds such an enemy for the trial system, the attention of the trial system will inevitably be distracted, and there will not be much time to pay attention to him, a traitor, and he can temporarily relax his vigilance.

Most importantly.

The old scimitar and the empire do not seem to deal with each other, and the enemy of the enemy is his friend, and the loyalty of the old scimitar can be doubted in the first place, because if you want to destroy the empire, there is no way but to cooperate with him.

Most importantly.

The old scimitar seems to have a lot of prestige among the tribes in the western part of the empire, and if the war against the empire is officially launched one day, the old scimitar may become a crucial pawn.
