Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Past Is Hard to Follow (Part II)
Xiao Yi was slapped firmly in the face by Neuer, even though Neuer's body was very weak because of the devastation at the moment, his head still quickly deflected to the side because of the strong impact, and then almost caused his body to stumble backwards. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But even so, it is strange that Zod, who has been faithfully performing Xiao Yi's duty as a guard, did not do anything about it. Of course, this is not because he was confused for a while or changed his temperament to defend Xiao Yi, but because of a decision after consideration.
First of all, Xiao Yi's words just now are really too mean, if you don't know the real reason for this, Xiao Yi really 'deserves' to be taught a lesson from the perspective of ordinary people; secondly, Zode understands the temperament of his boss, so this stimulation of the other party must be for some purpose, and it is naturally better not to interfere before he can't understand the intention, for Neuer, a down-and-out veteran with the same military background as himself, Zode actually has a good impression! Not only because of the intuition that came out of the long-term practice of taking risks and being displaced, but also because he could see his shadow from the other party's current state of 'body and mind', plus he also knew in the conversation just now that the other party could be regarded as his junior in the scout camp, so he hoped that this stoic man could get out of the haze and sweep away the decadence, and these seemed to be what Xiao Yi was good at and was doing, so even if he couldn't stand Xiao Yi, he would definitely not interrupt it.
Last and least, Zod is very sure that Xiao Yi was deliberately hit by this, because Xiao Yi had discussed with him in private before on the issue of the scale of his bodyguard, and Xiao Yi, who wanted to relax him, had another test with him, in order to verify Xiao Yi's reaction speed and self-protection ability in the face of sudden attacks, Zode launched an attack at a distance of less than five steps from Xiao Yi, and this distance is really no different from a close-fitting thief of the eighth order.
But the result of the final test still almost collapsed him, whether it was the strong attack that he had prepared in advance, the sudden start-up attack, and even Xiao Yi standing with his back to him in the end, it didn't allow him to win the slightest bit of the situation. And this time, he also saw that as a top alchemist, he is not only flexible in his combat ideas and precise control in the use of props, but also in terms of the absolute speed of his moves, he will not be inferior to the thief who is known as the strongest in this profession.
So although Neuer is inevitably not inferior in terms of skills, can he still compare to Zode in his heyday in such a state? So since this result has appeared, it can only prove one point, Xiao Yi did it on purpose!
So in this regard, Zode naturally has to wait and see what happens, but there is one point, if Xiao Yi really plays too big and causes Neuer to make any radical moves, he will naturally not stand idly by!
Looking at Neuer at this time, his eyes were glaring, his pupils were obviously dilated, his whole body was trembling, and his chest was rising and falling like a bellows.
Xiao Yi, who was the object of his staring, slowly straightened his head, and the reddish marks on his cheeks gradually appeared, so he calmly looked at Neuer, and after a long time, Xiao Yi spoke:
"Think I'm not right?"
As soon as these words came out, Neuer raised his hand again and was about to greet Xiao Yi's face, but he stopped in mid-air and seemed to be unable to make a move, so he froze on the spot.
"Why don't you fight, can't you bear to do it? Or you don't have the confidence to do it, I'm afraid you feel the same way in your heart!"
"I won't allow you to say that, I won't allow you to insult their death!" Neuer roared.
"How do I think these people don't matter, just like your thoughts are in front of other people, the key is what most people say about them, am I not right?"
Neuer threw his hand in mid-air down suddenly, and at the same time turned his back to Xiao Yi with a muffled snort, but even if he couldn't see Xiao Yi's face, he couldn't stop Xiao Yi's voice.
"Since you care so much about these dead people, why don't you think about them, if one hundred and forty-five people died because of you, what are you living for? Have you thought about it, is it just to regret why you didn't die with them in self-pity as you do now!"
Xiao Yi paused for a moment, and then continued again:
"And if you really think that Major should be mainly responsible for this, why don't you just kill him to comfort the hundred or so lives, with what I saw yesterday, if you do this, he shouldn't even have any resistance, then if you don't want to live in the world anymore, you can kill yourself with a sword, then wouldn't it be happy, is that what you want? Why don't you do it? Don't tell me because you're a coward who doesn't even dare to admit what you really think!"
"Yes! You're right, I'm a coward! I let them down, I'm the commander who took the lead, but I can't even do the most basic things like taking them to protect myself, and I don't even have a basis to justify their names without official proof! They were originally the best soldiers, they should be baptized with iron and blood on the battlefield to earn honor and return home, instead of following me, a useless sinner, to be slandered as a deserter who violates discipline, how do you want me to face their families, how to face the dead! You tell me! ”
Xiao Yi finally made Neuer tell the crux of the problem through continuous attempts, and the next moment Xiao Yi stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of Neuer, who was a head taller than him.
"There is no escaping what you should face, and I don't have an accurate answer to what to do, and I don't have the right to put your decision in check. But what I can tell you is that they are not deserters, and neither are you!"
"How do you know it's not!" everybody says that......"
Xiao Yi's shout cut off Neuer's words:
"I just know! No matter what others think, the facts have never changed, because I believe they are not deserters! You, not deserters!"
"They are not deserters...... I'm not a deserter...... We are not deserters!" Neuer muttered foolishly, two lines of tears running down his cheeks from the corners of his eyes.
"A soldier is a hero who defends the country and the people, and even if it is a dead soldier, his heroic soul continues to accompany the living to protect the land where he once grew up and loved. As a people of the Empire, I have to say: I have made you suffer for the sake of the whole Empire!"
Hearing this, Neuer couldn't control his emotions anymore, and fell to the ground on his knees, grabbing Xiao Yi's collar with both hands and burying his head in his chest.
