Chapter 323: The Will
At the same time, the Library of the Royal City of Theopharan.
"If you really try to be a good leader, you have to have your own mind, blindly following the orders of others will only make you a good soldier, but if you want to go further, you have to break the shackles. Alyssa spoke of her past.
Confused, Samantha reminds her of when she first went to the battlefield, when she had not participated in a single battle, but she had become the leader of an army, and she was tasked with rushing to the front line to fight the first battle of her life.
"On the battlefield, every decision you make can affect the fate of every one of your subordinates. ”
Samantha nodded understandingly.
She was originally a soldier whose duty was to obey military orders, but after being exiled and given a second life by the Musa Consortium researchers, she was still an excellent executor, and if it weren't for this, Goeben would not have given Samantha such an important position after Melia's defection.
It sounds simple, but one day you will find that your ideas will conflict with the orders you receive, and that is when you really need to take responsibility. ”
"You...... Talking about a dangerous topic. Samantha listened, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She had never thought of disobeying Lord Goeben, in a sense, it was Lord Goebon who brought them to the Mosa Consortium when they were unconscious and gave them a second life, so every member of the Crow Society was dead set on Lord Goeburn.
Although she did not approve of Goeben's attempt to seize the kingdom of Theopharan and provoke war, she was willing to sacrifice everything for Goeben's ambition in order to repay the favor.
If Lord Goeben wanted war, she would be the vanguard of Goeburn's men.
"If all this really comes from your heart, why are you confused?"
Samantha couldn't answer for a moment.
With the help of the Crow Society, Goebon unhindered King Brydon from the throne, but his final act was a little unacceptable to Samantha - Goebon killed the Prophet and ordered her to kill the Prophet's apprentices by the Crow Society, and the Prophet disappeared from Theopharan's history entirely.
So Samantha was lost.
Her companion had been right, she had a chance to kill the Prophet's apprentice to fulfill Lord Goeben's orders, and Samantha was subconsciously hypnotizing herself, but when she assessed the situation, an inexplicable force made her choose to flee.
"You don't need to be completely obedient to anyone, the presence of your thoughts is what really sets you apart from those who are exiled, and you still have the ability to make decisions that suit your heart......"
Samantha's eyes narrowed, and the short knife in her sleeve had already slipped into her hand, and the silver-white blade pointed directly at Alyssa's heart: "You are definitely not a sword master sent by the Chaos Sect...... Who the hell are you?"
The people of the Chaos Cult would never induce her to disobey Lord Goburn.
In fact, Samantha already had a guess in her mind, but she couldn't believe that her enemy would be so sincere in answering her own confusion. The hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and if her guess was correct, the woman in front of her could subdue her in the blink of an eye.
Alyssa just raised her hand slightly, flicking away the short knife that Samantha was pointing at her.
At this moment, six roars resounded through the sky one after another, and the sound waves formed by the loud noise even made the ground under their feet shake slightly, and the afterglow of the roar lingered for a long time, just as everything was about to return to silence, six pillars of light rose from different corners of the kingdom of Theopheran, and they reflected the red full moon in the sky, and under the reflection of the red halo, the people of Theopharan lowered their heads as if they had lost their souls, and approached the black abyss step by step like walking corpses.
"What's going on?...... What did you do?"
"Whatever Goeburn's ambitions are, you are willing to follow him...... Even if he wants to destroy everything you know, are you willing to be a weapon in his hands?"
Alyssa looked Samantha in the eye.
At the same time, Phoenix flapped his wings and spun in the air before hurrying into the library. She witnessed everything that happened outside the window with her own eyes, and not long after Lin Qiu ran to the East Palace alone, there was a change outside! Even she knew that Lin Qiu had definitely met Goben.
"Alyssa, go to the East Palace!"
"Alyssa Shucarredo!" Samantha finally confirmed the identity of the woman she had been talking to for a long time from Phoenix, she had admired Captain Melia immensely, and naturally knew this legendary figure from the same period as Captain Melia.
"It's not time for us to fight, and if it's really your heart to be a tool for Goeben's ambitions, then ...... We'll meet on the battlefield then. ”
"Don't talk nonsense with her, come up!" Although Phoenix was a hundred reluctant in her heart, she still slowly fell to the ground.
The next moment, the fledgling's wings grew suddenly, and the conspicuous orange feathers also formed into pieces of hard dragon scales, and the tail note of her urging suddenly turned into a low dragon roar, and the wings that covered the sky and the sun instantly broke through the surrounding walls, and the top floor of the royal city was lifted down by her expanding body.
Alyssa didn't say much, and jumped onto Phoenix's back.
Samantha stared at the red dragon with its wings flapping away, and as soon as her hand loosened, the short knife in her hand fell to the ground.
Shortly after the dragon was gone, two black figures descended behind her.
"Captain Samantha, are you alright?"
After questioning, the two Assassins remained silent, quietly awaiting Samantha's next order.
For some reason, Alyssa's advice before leaving kept ringing in her ears.
Samantha.
You still have the ability to make decisions that are in line with your heart.
......
"Tyr went to the Black Abyss, I'll take you there, you go and support him...... This kind of showy thing will be left to you!" Phoenix bit it, and finally dispelled the idea of destroying the entire East Palace with a breath of dragon's breath.
Thank me so much!
It's a great honor to be on the back of Lord Phoenix!
Phoenix muttered a few times in his mind.
"What about you?" said Alyssa, surprised.
You know, some time ago, Phoenix was still arguing with her over whether to level the royal city.
"The source of those pillars of light should be the hiding place of those instruments, and you will always stop me from destroying them, right?"
“...... Be careful all the way. ”
"Just take care of yourself!"
Phoenix snorted awkwardly.
