Chapter 213: Divergence

Marcos couldn't hear anything anymore, and when he struggled to get up from the ground, he realized that he was more than ten meters away from where he had been lying down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info His head was buzzing, and it felt like the ghosts were scurrying around in his head. He seemed to hear the yells of some people, but judging by the sound, it seemed far away from him.

But Maffeo was actually standing right next to him, and he grabbed Marcos's ear and yelled at him, but the other party didn't react at all. For some reason, Randall, who was standing by on the sidelines, thought the scene looked a little ridiculous, and Caranhill, after looking at the scene on the other side of the explosion, cursed in a low voice, "What the hell......"

Marcos took the knife behind him in a daze, and then looked at Maffeo with an anxious expression on the side. "What's wrong?"

But Maffeo's answer was still a simple lip service to his perception, even though he heard it louder than before. "I can't hear clearly, maybe I'm too close to the explosion, damn it. ā€

Maffeo gently swiped Marcos's head in the direction of the explosion, and the gas-fired serial explosions engulfed almost all of the enhanced animated figures. Even their armor had been turned to char by the explosion, and the unpleasant pungent smell spread in all directions.

It seemed like a long time had passed for Marcos, who had been watching the silence with slightly blank eyes. The unimpaled flesh creatures were there examining the puppet's mutilated body, and he just wanted to sit down and take a sip of water now.

"Can you still hear me?" Maffeo's voice rang in his ears.

Marcos turned his head and smiled. "Of course. ā€

...

"If we rush to the center of the palace, the magic dolls will tear us apart. ā€

"If you don't, I promise ......"

"What? What do you want?"

"I promise my men won't do any help to your guys, even if they're slain right in front of you. ā€

"Bastard ......"

Captain Root and Natalia had been arguing for almost ten minutes, and it was clear that such a senseless quarrel did not make any sense to the current situation. The movements of the Imperial army are unpredictable, and in this strange palace, they are constantly threatened by those ghostly puppets, which makes the anger of both sides explode at this time.

But there's a lot they need to do, and Captain Root wants to find the members scattered around the palace. Natalia, on the other hand, is single-minded in her plans, so the quarrel becomes a reality when the two parties cannot reach an agreement.

Vera watched Natalia uncertainly from a gloomy corner, and she couldn't worry Captain Root, at least for now. With the help of Ludmila, Fett was able to treat her wound further, which sped up her wound's healing. It's vital to her, she can't be a burden that can't help, and she doesn't want to be a burden that can't help.

The pillars of light in the palace were bright and dark, and after the quarrel, silence fell on the heads of the people. Fett propped his chin on his hand and helplessly glanced back and forth at Natalia, who had his back to him, and Captain Root, who was pacing back and forth.

Ludmila couldn't have helped much, and she had been opposed to such a large-scale swarm operation. Although she should have stepped forward and said something when she was likely to lose a lot of hands now, she didn't do that, she just kept pulling the string of the longbow in her hand.

Fett suddenly felt that Natalia, who was only a few meters away from her, had changed, and now she did not look like the kind girl who had left a little dry bread for herself in her cell, encouragement, comfort and help for the fellows who had also suffered misfortunes. Now she seems to be as cold as the hard-hearted fellows of the Empire, and she can't bear to let the other person look strange to her.

Although she wants to be like Natalia to a certain extent, she is very conflicted when she thinks of Natalia's attitude towards life now. There's nothing more frustrating than what you want to be and what you hate at the same time.

"Remember something?" Ludmila didn't look at Fett, but the latter was sure she was talking to herself.

"My impression of Natalia has changed a lot, but I haven't seen her ......for a few years," Fitt said in a small voice, and she didn't continue.

"I don't know what your friend has been through, but I believe that everything happens for a reason. Ludmila fiddled with her blindfold.

"I don't know, Ludmila, that it wasn't supposed to be this way. ā€

Ludmila placed her hand gently on Fett's shoulder, "Mature, Fett." Everyone needs to embark on their own journey, you have to learn to be alone, you are past the age of dependence. ā€

Fett looked up at Ludmila, who still hadn't looked at him. She couldn't see anything in the other person's eyes, and Fett wanted to say something, but in the end she found that she couldn't speak.

After pacing back and forth for an unknown number of laps, Captain Rout finally stopped and said to Natalia in a slightly calm tone, "Listen, Natalia. There is no point in us arguing, we can think of a plan that is beneficial to both parties. But since you want us to cooperate with you, then you must tell us your plans. Trust isn't that hard, is it?"

Natalia turned abruptly and clasped her hands around her body. "If you do what I say, then I'll tell you what I'm going to do when the time comes. ā€

Her reply disappointed, angry, and puzzled Captain Root. "It's a pity, but I don't think we can go on anymore. His voice almost crushed to his throat, and he turned to Ludmila. "Let's go. ā€

"Are you sure?" asked Ludmila.

"We can't fight alongside guys who don't trust us, let's go to those mercenaries and adventurers. Root, trying to suppress his anger, said calmly.

"Okay. Ludmila turned her head to Fett. "Come on, Fett. ā€

Fett slowly stood up as Natalia turned her back to herself. Fett stared at the familiar and unfamiliar back, and at the moment when she was about to speak, Natalia's voice came first: "See you inside our palace, Fett." ā€

"Yes, see you inside the palace. Fett replied with a wry smile, only now realizing how easy it was to answer.

Vera finally came out of that dark corner, and she didn't give Natalia a second look. Under the malicious gaze of those fellows of the Legion of Sacred Oracles, she walked in front of them indifferently and joined Captain Root.
