Neon is weak, both in armament and in terms of the quality of the military is far inferior to the Holy Britannian Empire, they are weak in the face of the offensive of the Holy Britannian Empire, and the war is one-sided from the beginning.

Division after division was crushed by Britannian troops, who were several times different in number, and the once proud chariot units and air force units were completely smashed into rags, and the jade shattering spirit that they once boasted could not give them the slightest advantage, but only added one blood stain after another to the machine called Knightmare

However, the weakness of the neon army did not satisfy Britannia, although the frontal battlefield was a downside advantage, but secretly there were some civilian forces resisting.

They do not clash with Britannia's army head-on, but they wait in the shadows, like hyenas lurking in the grass, and when they catch the lion slackening, they rush to it.

In recent times, some Britannian soldiers have lost contact with each other while patrolling at night, only to find their stripped bodies a few days later.

This phenomenon made the Britannian military very angry, so they stepped up the [search] and if they found any suspicious person, the soldiers could kill them.

As a result, a large number of [suspicious] [thugs] were captured by the righteous Britannian army and executed.

"Bang!"

"Damn! Damn Britannia! Coward! Litter! ”

"Yucheng, calm down."

In a deserted village on the edge of the city, in a deserted shrine that had been emptied, a hundred and ten people were resting in the shrine hall, some of them were holding guns in their hands, some of them were holding steel rods, swords and other cold weapons, some of them were resting against the wall, some of them were sleeping on the wooden planks of the main hall, and a noise suddenly came from the backyard of the shrine.

I saw several young people sitting around a small radio in the backyard, the radio may have a bad signal, and the noise is constant, but I can still hear the news broadcast on the radio In recent days, the [Justice] Britannian army has once again captured hundreds of rebels who are trying to destroy the glorious merger of Neon into the territory of the great Britannia, and prevent all the Neon people from becoming glorious and honorable Britannians, and they killed 13 glorious soldiers when they patrolled Britannia at night in their patrol, They were executed for such heinous crimes.

"Bastard bastard bastard !!" A young man with messy dark red hair, a headband tied on his forehead, and a mustache on his chin, slammed the wooden table hard, listening to the cries coming from the radio, the sound of gunshots, and the roar of the.

“…… Yucheng ...... Alas...... "The young man, who is honest enough to say mediocre, seems to want to comfort his friend, but finds that he has nothing to say and can only sigh.

"Yucheng, they're scared." Surrounded by everyone in the center, the red-haired young man who seemed to be the leader looked at the map and said in a deep voice.

“…… Is that so, Naoto? After hearing the red-haired young man's words, the young man named Yucheng couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked at him a little blankly.

"Yes, they are doing this in a sign of weakness!" The young man named Naoto patted his friend on the shoulder vigorously and looked at him with a firm expression, "They are afraid of us, they are afraid of their soldiers disappearing in the night. They were afraid, they were afraid, because they did not have a single inhabitant of the land who welcomed them, who accepted them. Here everyone is their enemy, and they do this, just to show that our fight, effective! ”

"We have to take these sacrifices to heart, and then, a hundredfold and a thousandfold to the damned Britannia!!"

"Yes, is that so?" The confusion and indignation on Yucheng's face gradually faded, replaced by a flush caused by excitement, and he laughed arrogantly and crossed his waist.

"Hahaha!! Damn Britannian pigs!! Your Jade Castle Uncle will slaughter you in no time!! I'm going to tell you that our fight has terrified the Britannian pigs!! ”

With an arrogant smile, Yucheng ran to the shrine hall, waving his hands along the way, shouting incessantly.

“…… Fan yes, go and see the condition of the wounded, and then take a team of people to bring some food to the elderly and children, and wait for you to take a few teams of people to see what else to eat around. Seeing Yucheng run out, the young man named Naoto always had a confident smile on his face, and he turned his head to the fan of the honest statue to command.

"Okay." Fan nodded and turned to leave.

The backyard that had been a little noisy just now was now only Naoto and the rustling radio, and after about a minute, Naoto, who had maintained a confident posture since the beginning, suddenly seemed to collapse, and he sat in the dirty hallway, covering his face with his hands, so that people could not see his expression.

Tick

A drop of clear liquid slipped from the jaw and fell to the ground.

The torment in his heart made him uncomfortable, thinking that hundreds of innocent people were executed because of their results, his heart was like a knife, don't look at him comforting Yucheng so calmly before, in fact, the most angry and sad person in his heart is him.

As the leader of a rebel group, he is still very young, and the pressure on his shoulders is far beyond what he can bear, and the reason why he has been able to hold on until now is because if he is no longer good as a leader, then his members, the old and weak women and children he protects, will definitely collapse.

"Rustle." Suddenly, Naoto, who was in grief, heard a rustling sound, the sound of trees being removed.

There are enemies?!

The moment Naoto reacted, he pulled out the pistol on his waist and aimed it at the shaking bushes.

"Who?!" After making sure that the pistol was loaded, Naoto looked at the bushes with a cold expression and shouted sharply.

"Are young people so rude nowadays? As soon as he came up, he pointed a gun at the old man. A breezy voice floated out with a faint magnetism, and then, a man with a striking handsome posture, waist-length hair, and a plain black kimono, as if he was in his twenties, walked out of the bushes.

His eyes were closed, his handsome face was flat, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, forming a gentle arc, and on his shoulders sat a man and a woman, two children, followed by a green-haired girl in a dark blue kimono.

"For [old man] like you, I feel that I must be vigilant." I don't know why, Naoto's originally tense nerves unconsciously relaxed after seeing the man's smile, he put down his arm holding the pistol, and put down his weapon in front of the strange man who suddenly appeared, which undoubtedly meant that the protection of his life was abandoned, but it was incredible that he actually felt that the man in front of him would definitely not be unfavorable to him.

"May I ask who you are this [old man]?" Naoto narrowed his eyes slightly, he stared carefully at the man's young face, and he couldn't laugh at the old man's self-proclaimed self-esteem, he put the pistol back on his waist, and politely asked the man's name.

"The old man's name is Ashmida, and the purpose of coming here is to find the friend of these two children, a child named Suzaku, can you take the old man to him?"
