Emery

Chapter 8

It was late in the evening when they set off to retake the arsenal, and the orange-red sunset filled the entire sky through the leaden smoke in the distance.

The arsenal is located not far south of the central square, and to recapture the arsenal, it is necessary to break through a defensive line of the enemy stationed there.

Ross led a commando of 30 people across the central square and headed straight for the arsenal.

After the air battle ended, the land battle started immediately. Because of Ross's accurate prediction, their army troops dispatched slightly faster than the enemy army, and won the main battle in time.

The Momentum's biggest advantage is that they are especially smooth when crossing the center line, since neither armies will deploy defenses on the center line when the aerial battle unfolds.

"Follow me." Ross gripped the gun tightly in his hand, and whispered to Jamil the moment he crossed the center line.

Jamil snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Ross glanced at him, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his light gray eyes, but he still added, "Although you used to be called the Battlefield Sky

Yes, but when you get here, it's best to put away your kindness. Being kind to the enemy on the battlefield is to be cruel to yourself. "

This slightly sarcastic remark made Jamil glared at him angrily, and the two of them stopped looking at each other, and the cat waist approached the weapon depot through the cover.

"Major General, it seems that refugees from Pando City in the arsenal have been taken hostage by the enemy." The soldier in charge of the investigation returned to Ross and reported in a low voice.

Guns can be heard everywhere in Pando City, and the land battle is in full swing. The enemy troops in the arsenal are cautiously on guard, and some enemy troops have already seen him.

Let's shoot two shots.

"Why are there refugees?"

"I don't know. Colonel Nicholas said before that the refugees should have been transferred, but there may be omissions."

Ross pondered for a while, then ordered indifferently: "Taking the recapture of the arsenal as the top priority, and the hostages can be sacrificed if necessary."

"Yes!" After hearing the order, the soldier turned and left without hesitation.

Jamil's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the indifferent Rose in disbelief, "With your ability, you should be able to achieve both, right?

Why sacrifice hostages? "

"Because there's no need to waste that time." Ross replied coldly, taking advantage of the setting sun sinking into the horizon and the moment darkness fell, he stepped out of the bunker, and the others

The other soldiers rushed to the arsenal together.

Jamil stared at him blankly, and followed him after a while.

The gunshots began to tear the air, and Jamil's mind went blank. The only thing he could do was to follow Ross closely and shoot without hesitation when he saw the enemy.

His shooting ability is really good, and he can guarantee a high accuracy rate on the battlefield for the first time.

They moved very fast, and Ross arranged the best attack route based on the information provided by Nicholas. When they broke through the cordon and rushed into the

After the arsenal, the situation immediately became one-sided.

During this assault, Jamil fully understood the theory that Ross said that speed and accuracy determine everything. The reason why they were able to regain the weapon in one fell swoop

The library relies on speed and accuracy.

"Reporting to the Major General, it has been confirmed that the enemy troops have withdrawn."

"Where are the hostages?"

"Alive, a child."

Ross frowned slightly when he heard this, and went with the soldier to see the child who was taken as a hostage.

The sky had completely darkened, and after all the lights in the arsenal were turned on, Rose discovered that the weapons inside had been basically emptied by the enemy.

The child who was taken as a hostage looked to be about ten years old, dressed in rags, and seemed to have suffered a lot, with dust and bruises all over his face.

Terrified, the whole person huddled into a ball.

Jamil froze for a moment when he saw him, and what suddenly appeared in his mind was the shadow of his brother.

It is also the same age, and it also looks so thin and weak. It turns out that no matter which city they are in, the refugees in the war zone are almost the same.

He couldn't help walking towards the child, and Rose called him behind him, but he didn't respond.

The child opened a pair of black eyes and looked at him in fear, until he gently hugged him into his arms, and the trembling stopped quietly.

"Where's your family?" Jamil's voice sounded softly, revealing a strong sense of powerlessness.

The child didn't answer, just shook his head vigorously.

Jamil hugged him tightly, and then let go after a long time, "Can I take you out of here? Go to a place where there is no war, and find a kind person who is willing to take you in.

Live with them later, okay? "

Jamil knew that he shouldn't decide things on the battlefield so willfully. The man behind him was the master of the battlefield, but when he saw this

When he was a child about the same age as his dead brother, his reason was no longer enough to control his emotions.

The child nodded in a daze, and Jamil smiled slightly, stood up, and turned to take him away.

The surrounding soldiers saw that Ross had no objection, so they began to sort out the arsenal to see if there were any remaining weapons that could be taken away.

Although the weapons here have been emptied on the surface, the enemy troops probably don't know that there is actually a large basement here.

However, just when the attention of all the soldiers left Jamil and the child, the timid child suddenly changed his expression, and his timidity changed.

Turned into ferocity and hatred, the hand hidden behind took out a knife out of nowhere, and stabbed Jamil's back fiercely!

With a "bang", the sharp gunshot and the sudden pain from the vest made Jamil stop in surprise.

There was a blunt sound behind him, he turned his head in a daze, and saw the child slowly fell to the ground like a slow motion movie, the blood between his eyebrows was extremely glaring

.

The sharp knife slipped from the child's fingertips and fell to the ground with a "dang".

Jamil's eyes slowly widened, and the surrounding soldiers watched this scene in shock. Afterwards, without saying anything, someone opened the door in the basement.

The door, everyone rushed over and began to move weapons.

"Jamil, he..."

"Snapped!"

In the quiet arsenal, the sudden applause shocked the busy soldiers again. Rose's face was slapped to one side, and he felt a burning pain.

In an instant, it seemed to spread to the whole body.

"He's just a child." Jamil spit out this sentence with a cold expression, looking at Rose with hatred in his eyes, as if he was watching a

pile of garbage.

There was silence in the armory. After a while, the sound of Jamil's leaving footsteps sounded. Ross still maintained his original posture, with the brim of his military cap on the

There was a shadow on his face, and his eyes were sunken in that shadow, no one could see his expression clearly at the moment.

Jamil felt like he was going crazy, why every time his impression of Rose changed slightly, there was always one thing that made him unacceptable

Thing happened.

He knew that child was also a spy, and that child wanted to kill him, but it was just a child, how could such a young child have

How much self-awareness is there?

Why can't such a fragile life be left behind, why!

The palm hurts. The slap that slapped Rose on the face just now seems to have hit his own heart. It hurts, but he doesn't know who he is hurting for.

.

There were heavy and eager footsteps behind him, and Jamil turned his head. He knew that it was impossible for Ross to be slapped obediently by him, and he waited for Ross

Beat him back.

But what he waited for was not Rose's revenge, but a gunshot and Rose's body pounced on him.

"Major General!" Someone among the soldiers reacted immediately, several gunshots rang out at the same time, and a scream came from an incomplete building not far away.

An enemy soldier hiding in the shadows was shot.

"Major General, are you okay?" Someone rushed over and helped Ross up.

"It's okay." Rose's voice was very low, vaguely suppressing something.

Jamil looked at him with wide-eyed eyes, and saw a deep blood spot on his left shoulder that was spreading and expanding, and Rose's pupils hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat

The color is very deep, so deep that it is impossible to see the end.

The lines of his face were still so cold and hard, as if the person who was injured at this moment was not him at all.

A cold-blooded person, Jamil thought, this person is not only cold-blooded to others, but also to himself. He can hardly imagine that such a person is cold-blooded.

How could it exist in this world.

"I won't thank you for this." Jamil got up from the ground, his sea-blue eyes were full of provocation.

Ross didn't answer, and turned around and ordered the soldiers to move the weapons as soon as possible.

Back at the city hall, it was nearly eleven o'clock. Natasha was bandaging Rose, and Jamil was standing by the window, looking at Pando City under the dark night in a trance.

"Major General, the identity of the dead child has been confirmed. He is an orphan from an orphanage in Pando City. It is confirmed that he has not had any contact with Principality G.

The person who attacked you is a senior soldier in our army. "

Nicholas was reporting in a low voice, and his back could not help but break out in cold sweat. In his army, there was someone who attacked Jamil and Rose.

Due to his personality, perhaps he would rather kill by mistake than let him go.

But if he was asked to tell how many such people there are in the army, he really doesn't know, he can't even believe that there are such rebels in his army.

only.

Rose leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes wearily, and turned a deaf ear to these words.

Hagrid couldn't help shouting: "Colonel Nicholas, how do you explain this matter, why there are people in your army who want to attack the major general!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Nicholas bowed deeply to Ross, lowered his head and apologized loudly.

"Major General, could it be that they started to attack?" Captain Cliff, who hadn't said a word, guessed in a low voice, with a very serious look on his face.

Hagrid became even more angry, he kicked the open office door, and with a "bang", the door was shut shut by him.

"These bastards are still fighting now, don't they even care about the war in the south! If they really want to start a war so much, then we

... "

"Hagrid, you're too noisy." Rose's sudden words interrupted Hagrid's machine-gun blurt. He didn't open his eyes, but frowned slightly.

His eyebrows had already conveyed to Hagrid the meaning of asking him to shut up.

Hagrid bit his lip angrily and stopped talking, but glanced at Jamil.

After Natasha treated Rose's wound, she stood up and said, "Major General, remember not to touch the water these two days, it's a good thing the bullet didn't stay in the body, otherwise the

If you talk about it, it will be a big trouble. "

Ross raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't intend to answer.

Natasha turned to Jamil again, "Sergeant, please come with me. Captain Sherlock is on duty in the tower today. He said he would like you to come and play."

This sentence stunned everyone in the room. Nicholas and Cliff widened their eyes almost at the same time, while Hagrid looked at Na with the eyes of an idiot.

Tasha glanced.

Only Rose, who leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, did not respond at all.

Jamil left the window, walked past Rose with a stern expression, and followed Natasha out of the office.

After the door closed, Hagrid said something furiously, but Jamil didn't listen carefully, only vaguely heard him say "that bastard"

.

Natasha took him to the tower, which was the highest place in Pando City, and it was the most reliable place to use it as a detection base.

Natasha didn't speak a word along the way, and Jamil could see the cold condensation on her face from the side.

"Sergeant, Captain Sherlock is up there, go up by yourself."

"En." Jamil responded lightly, and turned to leave.

"Jamil." Natasha suddenly called out to him again, her voice was calm, without any fluctuations.

Just as Jamil turned his head, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and a not too heavy slap hit him on the face.

Natasha's gloved hand hitting her face didn't necessarily hurt much, but at that moment, Jamil felt a throbbing pain in his heart, which was far worse than the pain on his face.

It hurts to go up.

Natasha clenched her fists tightly, her beautiful eyes shot out what could be called anger for the first time, "One day you will regret your words and deeds to the major general

Sorry, Jamil. "

After leaving these words coldly, Natasha turned around and left. Under the night, the slender figure seemed to be trembling slightly.

Jamil touched his face subconsciously, would he regret it?Impossible, only he will never regret what he has done to Ross.

On the tower, Sherlock is patrolling the city of Pando with his two soldiers to prevent the enemy from attacking at night.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, and when he saw Jamil, he forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, "Jamil, you're here."

"Yeah." Jamil replied in a low voice.

Sherlock came over and patted him on the shoulder, walked with him to the corner of the tower, and sat down cross-legged.

Pando City was a bit chilly at night, and the cold wind was blowing. Sitting at the highest place in the city, it really didn't feel very good.

It's too cold at the heights, that's probably how it feels.

"I've heard about it before, Jamil, is it true that no matter what the major general does, your hatred for him can't be redeemed?"

"You know everything?"

"I don't know anything, but I know you hate him."

Ross is the kind of person who can hide big things in his heart. Of course, it is impossible for Sherlock to know what kind of feud he and Jamil had in the past, but with

Jamil has been together for so long, he can see that Jamil hates Ross.

Jamil looked back, leaning his head against the wall behind him, forgive Ross?He never thought about it, so maybe Sherlock's answer, he

You can answer with a "yes".

Sherlock sighed softly and straightened his legs, "You know what? Someone in the military has wanted the major general to die for many years."

"With his offending character, it's not surprising." Jamil replied with some sarcasm.

Sherlock shook his head, looking at the distance with complicated eyes, "No, it's because the major general's power makes those people unable to tolerate, the major general threatened

to their position. "

Jamil didn't answer, just looked at him with a frown.

"The major's mentor is Admiral Greif Tales, you should have heard of his name, the commander-in-chief of the Principality's military department, and the next presidential candidate

.The split war within the military has existed for many years. Although Admiral Greif had a relatively high status, Admiral Manhattan's power was also limited.

Great, but the appearance of the major general broke the delicate balance between the two factions.

"When the major general was still a major, they designed him to fall into a trap. That time the major general took a small team out to carry out a mission, but because of

The information leaked and was trapped on the mountain for more than half a month. All the members of the team died, and only the major general survived.After returning, they also pointed out that

He blamed the major general for making mistakes in his intelligence work and used this excuse to punish him.

At that time, Admiral Greif had just become the commander-in-chief of the military department. In order not to annoy the admiral, the major general took it upon himself.

He dealt with some things and dealt with some people, but obviously, the faster the major general grows, the greater his danger. "

Sherlock said a lot in one breath, and Jamil didn't understand why he was telling himself this.

"Jamil, Major General Ross is a person who takes care of everything by himself. Although his temper is indeed bad and his methods are fierce, you have to

Admittedly, the country needs such people, and the battlefield needs such people even more. "

"Sherlock, sooner or later the matter between me and Rose will be settled. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him until we win the battle."

Jamil stood up, obviously not intending to stay any longer.

He didn't want anyone to shake his determination to revenge. He survived and persisted until now, just to prove the meaning of his life and to avenge Ross.

It's just revenge.

If he gave up revenge, then his struggle for so many years would be meaningless.

That was what Rose owed him, a debt that Rose had to repay to him.

"Jamil, is it really impossible to forget the hatred? Is it true that revenge on the major general will not make you regret it?"

"No, if I don't take revenge on him, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

The moment the decisive and persistent words came out, Jamil clenched his fists, and the cold wind blew in his face, messing up his blond hair, and his eyes under the brim of the hat showed cold

Li Zhiguang, that is the persistence that no one can change.

Sherlock looked at Jamil sadly, he couldn't speak, facing such a stubborn and cruel Jamil, he couldn't say a word.

Jamil didn't wait for him any longer, turned around and went down the tower.

He knew that there was a knot between him and Rose, and this knot could only be untied with one's blood.

In the next two months, a major breakthrough was made in the war in the south. Ross implemented his consistent policy of iron and blood.

No army could stop him.

G Principality not only withdrew from Pando City, but also surrendered due to the complete defeat in the northern battlefield.

The Principality of M has achieved a comprehensive victory, and the war between the two countries that lasted for more than ten years has finally been completely extinguished.

At night, the army that had not yet retreated held a grand celebration banquet, and some of the citizens who had migrated back gathered around Ross and Nicholas, excitedly

express their gratitude vividly.

The banquet was held in the Governor's Mansion, but the lively and jubilant atmosphere could not affect the people standing on the balcony at the moment.

Jamil leaned against the railing of the balcony alone, looking through the glass door and the venue, and fell on Rose who was surrounded by the crowd.

After winning the battle, there should be a settlement between him and Rose.

Just end it here, don't bring those hatreds back to Emerai, Jamil thought in his heart.

There was a sound of footsteps on the balcony, and Jamil looked up, surprised to see Hagrid walking in.

Today, Hagrid's face did not have the anger and dissatisfaction he saw when he saw Jamil in the past. Instead, there was an unfathomable and completely unpredictable expression

complex.

"Let me guess what you're thinking right now." With a playful smile on the corner of Hagrid's mouth, he walked up to Jamil and leaned against the railing as well.

.

Jamil looked at him warily, but didn't answer.

Hagrid followed his line of sight and saw Rose in the crowd. He still maintained a stern look, but it was enough to drive the women around him crazy.

"You want to kill Rose, don't you?" After saying this with a sneer, Hagrid turned his head and met Jamil's surprised eyes.

"Don't be surprised, I know all about those things between you, I'm only curious if you don't want to kill him now." Hagrid raised his eyebrows, mouth

Jiao's playful smile deepened.

Anger suddenly appeared in Jamil's eyes, and he was about to leave.

"What if I can help you and let you kill him? Do you want to do it? After you leave here, you will have no chance."

Hagrid's joking voice came from behind, and the meaning in the words made Jamil stop in surprise.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"I think Ross is dead, it's that simple."

"why?"

"Sherlock should have told you that Ross is a thorn in the side of Admiral Manhattan and those people. Admiral Manhattan promised me that as long as I can kill Ross,

Ross will be replaced by me. "

When Jamil heard this, his eyes widened angrily, "You really are a despicable and shameless villain."

Hagrid laughed, "So what if you are mean and shameless? If you want to gain a foothold in the military department, a personality like yours is not enough, Jamil, we only need

With a little cooperation, we can get what we want, right? "

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Ross?" The anger on Jamil's face subsided a little, and he sneered.

Hagrid continued to laugh, leaned closer to him, and whispered, "You won't, Jamil, Ross is the only person you hate in this world, you're not alone

Honestly, are you going to kill him someday?Or, are you reluctant to start now? "

The expression on Jemil's face gradually faded, he pushed Hagrid away, turned his head and glanced at Ross, in his mind, the humiliating picture that Ross forced him three times back and forth

Face suddenly jumped out.

He felt his heart beating faster, and the nerves in his temples were also beating "chug".

Hagrid took out a gun from his pocket. It was a silver revolver, filled with hollow bullets, and when shot into the body, it would cause churning and laceration wounds. Right and wrong

Very domineering weapon.

"As long as you want, I can send a message for you, tell him to meet you in the arsenal, and you will kill him there and come back.

Unconsciously. "

Hagrid smiled wickedly, looking at Jamil with mockery in his eyes.

Jamil didn't take the gun immediately, but asked coldly: "How do I know if you will betray me? I really wanted to kill Ross, but I didn't

Want to die with him. "

If they went to hell at the same time, wouldn't they still be entangled on the road to Huangquan?He didn't even want to think about it.

Hagrid shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "You can rest assured that this gun has my fingerprints on it. If I betray you, you can ask for it

Court-martial, I won't be able to eat and walk around by then. "

Jamil thought for a moment, then reached out and took the gun.

He hid the gun in his arms, turned his head and walked out, and said lightly: "Tell Ross, I'm waiting for him in the armory."

"Jamil, sometimes I can't help but think, you always say Ross is cold-blooded, but in fact, how much better are you than him?"

Jamil didn't answer Hagrid's sarcasm, he just looked ahead and left with firm steps.

Hagrid kept looking at his back until he completely disappeared from sight, and an expression of anger or despair slowly appeared on his face

.
