34. Intermission (4)

β€œ......”

Originally, Cicero had every reason to punish the two derelict guards for failing to stop the invaders, but thinking of the excessive force of the other party, Cicero finally gave up this idea - now it is not as good as usual, the people are very scarce, but they can't withstand the meaningless toss.

In the final analysis, now they are just sending people under the fence, and they have nothing to squander. The destruction of the organization came so quickly that the organization, which was almost invincible in Cicero's memory, was completely unable to stop the indescribable force, and it was completely killed in an instant. If it weren't for the unexpected assistance of some betrayer in the past, the listener he respected would now be caught in the middle of it.

This made Cicero feel very conflicted.

When he was still a young man, that person could be regarded as his "senior", and until the other party left the organization, Cicero regarded her as his target - the same age, but far ahead of him, which also made Cicero, who can be called a hard worker, quite unwilling.

"Sure enough, it's still not enough......"

Cicero clearly felt that his knife had become dull, and no matter how much he used the finest whetstones and essential oils**, the two well-cared daggers did not seem to be as sharp as before. Cicero didn't know exactly what was wrong with him, but if he didn't improve, he would ...... I guess I can't protect the listener, right?

The result is finally ...... Do you still need that person's strength......

"Yo~ You still have such a gloomy face, Cicero. ”

β€œ...... It's none of your business. ”

It's really said that whoever arrives will come. Cicero was bothered by someone, who happened to be here in good shape. Cicero can only give the other a good face - even though he usually has such a dead face.

"Don't do that, the strings are always too tight. It's going to break...... Appropriateness is also about relaxing. ”

"You're annoying. ”

"Because you're bored. ”

There was no hesitation in saying this, as if such thoughts had been ingrained in her heart for a long time, so that she now naturally blurted out. Cicero, who was not going to pay attention to this increasingly eccentric woman, was also choked by this sentence.

- Really, I would love to stab her on the neck so that she can remember it for a long time.

"Why do you come again and again when you're out of control, you're not welcome here, defector!"

"You really like to keep old accounts. The organization has been completely destroyed, so why should you worry about it?Besides, I'm here mainly for Lord Ismir, and your words are just because they are old acquaintances, and they are incidental~"

Incidental ......

That is, the level of "seeing someone you know on the road and saying hello".

Cicero silently clenched his dagger, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes - his feelings for this woman were not good enough to be able to coexist peacefully. This person has always been a hurdle in Cicero's heart, and Cicero originally thought that this person would be over after leaving the organization. But now he understands that as long as this person is alive, there will always be a dark thorn in his heart.

"Don't use the sword...... You can't beat me. ”

β€œ...... (Angry)"

obviously looked like he was going to persuade and admit it, but the words were completely mocking. It looks innocent. The other party's attitude is clearly to warn Cicero not to bring shame on himself.

"You're here. Is there something going on?"

Considering that it was too embarrassing to be brought down by this nasty woman in front of the listener. Cicero finally stopped what he was doing, snorted coldly and ignored the woman. He stepped aside with a gloomy face.

"Well, you're giving up? Usually you've always been like an excited rooster, constantly throwing my face, how can you become a defeated loser today, and you can smell the decadent and depressed smell of you from afar. ”

β€œ...... Are you a dog?"

"No, no, no, it's just that the 'smell' on your body is too strong...... Really, if I could, I would like to have a stuffy nose too. ”

Arguing with this woman is a completely pointless thing to do. Cicero also gradually realized this point after repeated fiascos - after a few years of not seeing each other, not only is his strength strong, but the opponent's strength in fighting cannot be underestimated. To say that the woman said those words "unconsciously"? Cicero didn't believe it.

"There's one in there that I can't beat at all...... Guest ......"

"Ah, I can fully imagine how a nervous person like you would entertain guests from afar...... Sure enough, you were kicked out by Lord Ismir to reflect on it. ”

When he saw the two guys lying at the door, who were still unconscious, Kaede had already guessed what kind of scene it was. It's just that the iron plate hit this time seems to be a little hard, which actually makes the arrogant and taciturn Cicero so sluggish.

Cicero didn't seem to intend to answer the details of this to Feng at all, and simply leaned on the rock wall next to him with his arms and pretended to be dead. No matter how you say it, it's too shameful to say that kind of unilateral beating.

"Huh? You...... You've brought a lot of people with you. Listener, you don't even remember that here?" Cicero heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Cicero's attitude towards such people or things that would disturb the listener's clean dwelling would not be good.

β€œ......”

"Why don't you speak?"

"Now, Cicero, those guys you are talking about don't seem to be the ones I brought here. Kaede recognized the sound that came, and judging by the sound, Kaede found that it was quite different from the cavalry of the ally he had found. "Destination...... It's really for here. ”

Without hesitation, Cicero drew his twin daggers and attacked Kaede on the spot. with a sudden attack. It also made Kaede subconsciously doubtful, but the instinct of the body saved Kaede from danger in time.

"You're crazy!?"

"Those crumbs. You didn't bring it in!?I want to kill people with a knife and get rid of the listener, you guy. Sure enough, there is no essential difference from those hateful elders!"

β€œ......”

was deducted from the pot at one end, and Kaede's eyes also dimmed. Although she can't reach the pathological fanaticism, her respect for the listener is also from the bottom of her heart, so Kaede gradually began to be dissatisfied with Cicero's attitude of "only I care about the listener, and no one else has this heart".

"It's time for you to take the pills. ”

Really, he maintained an inexplicable hostility to himself throughout the whole process, and his personality was not called a ruthless Kaede. It was also inevitable that he would have murderous intentions towards Cicero. If it weren't for Ismir's sake, Kaede would have even ruined this guy's heart - obviously as long as he got rid of this terrible bad problem, this person wouldn't be hated.

Whoosh -

- Tuk!

The arrow passed through the middle of the stalemate between Kaede and Cicero, and nailed straight to the tree, its tail feathers still quivering. With this change as a signal, from the far rear, a black and oppressive "dark cloud" was "raised".

It's all arrows!

Realizing that they couldn't stay here any longer, the two guards hurriedly picked up the two guards who were still unconscious, and hurriedly retreated behind the bunker. The goal of the incoming enemy is so clear. There was no sign of a peaceful solution to such a large-scale rain of arrows, and there was no need to expect anything to be resolved at the table.

"Let's put aside the contradictions between us. ”

"I can tell which is more important! I don't need you to remind me!"

That's good for people who are dead-headed, even if there are some old grudges. When faced with more important priorities, you can not hesitate to put business first. Cicero, at such times, does not need to worry about any excesses.

"How did these people get there? Something is wrong. I've been very careful with the past, and even with a multi-pronged approach, it's impossible to spot the problem so quickly. But look at their posture. It's clearly for Lord Ismere. ”

"Didn't you really recruit you?"

"I'm really going to hurt Lord Ismere, what am I going to do to save her at the risk?" You disqualified, why do you need me to stop Lord Ismir when you're here?"

β€œ......”

"What are you pretending to be stupid at this time...... Besides, you won't pretend to be stupid at all, don't do stupid things, and luckily no one else here sees your stupidity!"

"We saw it" x2

"Scared!"

"Babble-!!"

The ghostly voice that appeared in the ears of the two of them immediately quieted Kaede and Cicero. Not only is Cicero, a brainless fan, but even Kaede, who has long since withdrawn from the organization, subconsciously reined in his mood in front of the listeners. It can be seen how important a role Ismir is in this circle.

"Is anyone trying to 'storm' this place?"

"Well, judging by the sound, there is no doubt that it is cavalry, most likely, it is intended to implement blitzkrieg tactics against our country. ”

Who was going to murder the listener Ismir's life? Kaede didn't know, let alone how these people found it. Delving too deeply into such a difficult issue can easily make people suspicious and distrustful of anyone.

"A total of nearly 100 elite soldiers are charging towards this temporary field, and in a few moments, they will be able to break through to within 200 meters. ”

Although it is not to say that these people cannot be killed, but in this way, it will inevitably provoke a more serious pursuit, whether it is Kaede or Cicero, they dare not act rashly. Moreover, once one or two escaped, it was even more troublesome - Kaede and Cicero were both assassins in the traditional sense, with limited combat capabilities, and the role they played on the frontal battlefield was also embarrassing. The enemy is not a weak hand, and if you fight with real swords and guns, even if you want to win, you will have to put in a lot of effort.

"Well, don't worry, there's a free help this time. ”

Listener Ismir had no look of concern at all.

"Help?"

Kaede was quite confused when she heard thisβ€”who was Ismir talking about? You know, being able to make Ismir say such affirmative words shows that even with a harsh eye, she can't pull out much of the fault, and she is a reliable guy who is worth entrusting her life with.

"There is a specialization in the art industry, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

Kaede discovers that the way Ismir comforts Cicero is, in a sense, very much like her mother comforting a noisy bear child. Cicero, who hasn't seen him for a few years, seems to have walked farther on a dangerous road...... However, Kaede is also self-aware, and wisely does not stir up this topic even once - because she is not qualified to say it herself!

"When you meet, you call others, I really don't know if you're familiar or thick-skinned...... Forget it, I got some interesting information from you, so let's make amends. ”

Reisen rubbed her temples and followed closely, looking at her as if she was struggling to digest the information she had just received.

"Take people with short hands and eat people with short mouths", Ling Xian estimated that the information "pryed" from the girl was quite important, and it was completely acceptable to help her once or twice for free.

"Spirits, and rabbits?"

Seeing Reizen's appearance, the wind couldn't help but be stunned. In her eyes, the combat effectiveness of the people of the rabbit clan has always been more worrying, although it has gradually improved over the years and has begun to rise, it still can't change the inherent impression of Kaede.

"You ......" Reisen was a little stunned the first moment he saw Kaede's face, because this face was quite similar to the human assassin girl that Rezusen had just "bullied". To say that there is no relationship between these two people, Reisen definitely doesn't believe it. "Do you have a sister?"

"Have you seen Ye?"

"It turns out that the little ghost is called 'Ye'...... How to say it, it's completely different from the artistic conception of the name, and it's a very lively person in every sense. There are a little more eyes in the heart, but overall, it's not a nasty villain, is it?"

- Nonsense, if this is the type that Reisen hates, how can she survive to the end......

"You'd better go in that direction. ”

Reisen pointed in the direction he had come, and in the distance, the ruins of a city that had been destroyed overnight had now been turned into a terrible battlefield.

"Perhaps...... I mean, maybe, your sister, is going to have some trouble. If you're not worried, it's better to go and help. ”

"What!"

As soon as he heard that Ye might be in danger, Kaede didn't care about etiquette and so on, so he bowed to Reizen on the spot, and then left this side without looking back.

......

β€œ...... You're trying to break her up on purpose, aren't you?"

"That's right. (To be continued......)
