Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"Cooperation? Is this really okay? The other party is from the Imperial Army, right?" Leoney objected, "Are you sure this guy is credible?"

"Miss Leoni, you 'Night Attack' have been cooperating with us all the time. You don't know that, do you?" Yi Guang frowned and asked, "Not just this time, we have actually cooperated many times. "

"What?! We haven't even met before, have we?" Brand said in disbelief, but then he thought of something, his face suddenly gloomy, "Is it possible, you are... Hey, Lanza, If you're here to get information from us, I'll be rude to you."

Although everyone in the "Night Raid" knew that their organization had a tacit understanding with some internal high-level officials of the Imperial Army, they never knew the specific identity of the other party.Regarding this matter, only Najehitan, the commander, knew about the entire "Night Raid".Therefore, when Yiguang confessed his identity, the two naturally did not believe it.

"I know it's useless, and you definitely won't believe me." Yi Guang shrugged, "Then I won't ask you anything, and you don't have to say anything. We'll deal with beheading Zank first. Then wait for you to go back. , ask Najeshtan, she will naturally prove the truth of my words."

"BOSS..." Brand murmured suspiciously, then nodded, "Okay, based on past affection, I believe you once."

"Thank you, big brother." Yi Guang nodded.

Therefore, the three of them temporarily formed a team and continued to search for traces of Zanke's beheading.On the way, Iguang introduces the two of them to Teigu's ability to behead Zanke.As a reincarnation person who knows the plot, Yi Guang naturally knows a lot of information that these plot characters don't know.

"Zanke's Teigu is the eyeball-shaped forehead that he equips on his forehead, called 'Five Vision Omnipotent Observer', which is a Teigu with five 'vision' related abilities. Of course, it is said that it is with Visually related, but I also suspect that this thing also has the power of the spiritual system. Zank's madness may also be related to that emperor."

"Five vision-related abilities?" Brand frowned and asked with some doubts, "Do you mean perspective or something?"

"Perspective is only one of them. Specifically, there are five types of vision, farsightedness, perspective, future vision, and illusion." Yiguang continued. Seeing things in the distance, perspective can ignore obstacles to see the target, future vision can see the next situation through the subtle movements of muscles, and vision is to allow the other party to see the illusion.”

"Is this Teigu so powerful?" Leoney exclaimed, "It's nothing more than the others, these 'Future Vision' and 'Dongguan', don't they mean what kind of moves we use next, the other side is all Is it clear?!"

"Yes, if such an ability is used skillfully in battle..." Brand said in surprise, "With superb martial arts, it must be a very difficult enemy!"

"More than that, using the power of 'farsightedness' and 'perspective', that guy might be watching us from somewhere." Yiguang waved his hand and said.

"Then, will we have... Maybe he won't show up?" Leoni said with a worried look, "Maybe we already found out that we were looking for him, so he ran away."

"Well, I don't think so." Yi Guang touched his chin and said, "Although I can't tell the reason, my intuition tells me that he must be looking at us somewhere, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack us. attack."

Of course, Yi Guang told a lie again. The executioner named "Zanke" was searching for relief in his heart while killing frantically.The mental distortion caused by the long-term execution made him have some kind of painful hallucination, and the "groan/groan of the dead" was always around his ears.He kept killing people. In addition to pursuing the pleasure of killing, he also hoped to calm the voices in his ears through this morbid joy. In short, it was a severe mental illness that could not be judged by reason.

However, how can Iguang convey these information that can only be learned through the anime plot to the two people around him.The so-called words are too much to lose, if they have some doubts, it is not good.

"But even so, who knows where he will show up? Maybe he won't attack us at all, but will go to the imperial patrol." Leona shrugged and said, "After all, the imperial capital is like this. Big."

"It's better than doing nothing..." Yi Guang sighed.

Due to the disappearance of Hill and Maine, the manpower for "Night Raid" suddenly appeared to be in short supply.Apart from Commander Najeshtan, who was unable to fight for a long time due to an old injury, only Brand, Leone, Lubbock, and Akatsuki were the only ones who could be dispatched.They work in pairs and work separately.

In the original book, Zanke first went to Tazmi, who had the least experience and the least experience, and then fought against Chi Tong.However, now Tazmi has not joined the "Night Attack", Chi Tong and Lubbock are a group.So, will Zank go after them?

To be honest, Yiguang has no idea in his heart.

"Huh?" At this moment, Yi Guang suddenly felt something, and the perception told him that there seemed to be some abnormal mental power fluctuations around him.The fluctuation was so small that he almost ignored it, but Yiguang was still keenly aware of his presence.

"I, I seem to see... Maine." At this time, Leoni said suddenly, "A shadow suddenly flashed over there just now, and it looks like Maine."

"What? Maine?" Brand's face was solemn. "Are you sure? Let's go and see."

"What's wrong, you two?"

When Yi Guang heard their words, his heart became clear.Ma Yin was imprisoned in a wooden house in the suburbs by herself, how could she appear here?What Leonai saw was obviously an illusion created by Zank.But he wasn't going to break it, he wanted to see what kind of means this murderer was going to use to deal with the three of them.

"Well, we seem to have found our lost companion." Brand looked in the direction Leona pointed, then looked at Iguang and said, "I won't bother you with this, you can investigate it alone, and we will deal with it. When this is over, I will come back to find you."

"Okay, then I wish you all the best." Yi Guang nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Chapter 146 Beheading Zanke

After watching Brand and Leone walk away, Iguang froze for a moment, then turned around and looked at the street in front of him.There was darkness at the end of the road, but Yiguang seemed to be watching something in the darkness.

"Okay, your goal has been achieved. If you have anything, please come out." Yiguang said to the empty surroundings, as if talking to himself, "Behead Zanke..."

"Happy and happy!" As soon as Yiguang finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from the shadows of the street, and a figure appeared in front of Yiguang's eyes, "There is someone like my emperor who can't see his heart clearly, It's amazing and enjoyable!"

The visitor said the strange words "pleasant and pleasant", revealing a tall and strong figure from the darkness, a man with blond hair wearing a trench coat, and thus his body emerged from the shadows.On the backs of his hands, he wears a pair of arm blades, which faintly flickered gloomily in the moonlight...

"Sure enough, you deliberately used the illusion to lure the two of them away, to deal with me?" Yi Guang nodded, "But how are you sure, they will be lured away by you."

"Oh, you're not afraid of me at all? You clearly know who I am..." Zanke Beheading said to himself, and then said to Yi Guang, "Of course it's because I saw it, the two of them They are not on the same boat as you. And I also know that they are 'Night Raid', which is a very famous killer organization in the imperial capital recently, 'Night Raid'!"

"Is it the ability of Teigu?" Yiguang was taken aback, "It really is a convenient ability."

"But, I can't see your heart. I can clearly see your expression and your movements, but your heart seems to be shrouded in fog." Zanke Beheading said, "I have never met Having been to such a person, you made me feel very new... I think it would make me very happy if the head of a person like you was cut off!"

"If you have the ability, you can come and try it. There are many people who want this head, and you are not inferior to you." Yi Guang said nonchalantly, "Also, you can also guess why you can't see my heart..."

Beheading Zank is not like a general murderer who will draw a knife and slash people if he doesn't agree, on the contrary, he is a talker.Because of the long-term auditory hallucinations, he hopes to suppress the "wailing of the dead" in his ears by talking non-stop.At the same time, language is used to increase mental pressure on hunting targets and make them more desperate. Zank himself gets more fun by observing the despair of these people.

"Happy and happy, this is the first time I see a prey like you." Hearing Yiguang say that, Zanke beheaded excitedly, "Those guys in the past either cried and begged me for mercy, or they directly drew their swords at me. You have to catch them before you can talk properly. You were the first to talk to me, happy and happy!"

"Because I think that even a heinous murderer like you needs some hospice care. Before I kill you, I will chat with you a few words, so that you don't have to be killed. This is the last thing I can do. I did it for you." Yi Guang sighed, "After all, I've seen your file, and you are a poor person... I hope you won't hear those voices when you go downstairs."

"You actually know, you actually know?!"

Zanke showed a surprised expression. He had hallucinations in his ears. He had always known about it. Those who had been told about it by him had already been killed by him. It was impossible for others to know about it. thing.But, this guy... how on earth did he know about this? !

"Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking." Yi Guang smiled, "I'm honored to have the famous 'Beheading Zank' show this expression... So now, Are you still happy? Zank?"

"Happy! I understand!" Zanke Beheading was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, "I understand! You too, you do too! You can hear that voice too, right? ? You are the same as me, you have killed an unknown number of executioners, right? You are actually the same kind, so it is, so it is..."

Uh, there seems to be some kind of strange misunderstanding... Yiguang smiled bitterly as he looked at Zanke who suddenly started laughing for himself.

"Don't get me wrong, I can't hear your voices." Yiguang said aloud, "That kind of thing is only heard by a guy like you who has no purpose in your heart and regards killing as fun. Because your heart is in Fear, you are afraid of the people you killed, afraid that they will climb out of hell to avenge you, that's all."

"What?! Me, why should I be afraid of that kind of thing... afraid of the prey that I killed!" Zanke was instantly angry, but there was an indelible fear in his eyes, "When they were alive, I Don’t be afraid, what am I afraid of when they die?!”

Saying that, Zank waved the blade on his arm and charged towards Yiguang!

"Oh Huo, have you become angry because I told you something on your mind?" Yi Guang smiled contemptuously, "So, goodbye, behead Zanke... a funeral for you!"

Yiguang waved his arm, and the copycat version of the dragon hunting gun appeared in his hand, and a fierce energy burst out from the long gun, like an angry dragon, rushing in the direction of Zanke!

"It's useless!" Zanke blocked the two arm blades in front of him and blocked Yiguang's spear, "This 'five-vision omnipotent' and 'future vision' ability can change through your muscles, to predict your next move!"

"I know..." Yi Guang smiled slightly, turned the gun head, and then jumped, "But, so what?!"

Yulin's Marksmanship·Cloud-piercing, the dragon penetrates the cloud-splitting sky!

"Dangdangdangdang-!!!"

While speaking, Yiguang's spear stabbed towards Zank like a storm, and the sound of troops and iron clamoring continued to stir in the air.Zanke himself has rich experience in actual combat, and with the power of "five-vision omnipotent", he can predict Yiguang's actions in advance.Using this as a basis, for a while, he was evenly matched with Yiguang!

"Not bad, except for that woman, there are very few people in this world who can keep up with my speed!" Yi Guang smiled and looked at ease, "Come on, behead Zanke, I hope you It can last a little longer.”

"Damn, this guy..." Compared with Yiguang's ease, the move of beheading Zanke seemed very reluctant.The look on his face also changed from the arrogance at the beginning to the current tension and fear.

The speed is very fast, and every blow almost makes it too late to react.If it weren't for "Future Vision", I couldn't see his moves at all... No, even now relying on "Future Vision", he still needed to concentrate his efforts to barely see his moves.

The strength is simply terrifying. Every blow makes his arm go numb. For such a thin little man, his strength is as great as a giant beast!

Moreover, his speed is still accelerating!Isn't this his full strength? !

"What's the matter, at this level, you can't take it anymore?" Yi Guang sighed, "I thought that you had a 'five-vision omnipotent' emperor tool and could be a sparring partner for me for a period of time, but I did it on purpose. I kept my hand, now it seems... it is better to wait for that woman to come back, and I continue to practice with her. Sure enough, in this world, the only people who can make me fight with all my strength are that woman and the general."

Having said that, the spear in Yiguang's hand suddenly changed, and the action changed from stab to pick. The cold light of the spear tip reflected a stream of light under the moonlight, passing through Zanke's body like a crescent moon.

Yulin's Marksmanship · Breaking the wind, the nine-day force of the gun is breaking the wind!

Unimaginable speed, even the "future vision" can't see clearly, Zanke can't even defend, he was hit by this move.The inhuman force carried on the spear knocked him into the air.Then, a cold light flashed, Yiguang's spear pierced his body like lightning, and the huge spear blade tore his flesh.

"puff……"

With a muffled sound, Zank's body fell to the ground, and the blood immediately spread on the ground.Yi Guang looked at the corpse, shook his head slightly, then walked forward, preparing to take back the "five-vision omnipotent observer".

"Lanza, this... is this what you did?"

At this time, Brand's voice sounded again at the entrance of the alley.Iguang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw Brand and Leone go back and forth.Obviously, the two finally reacted, and they were deceived by Zank's "vision".

"Have you guys come back? What a coincidence, I have already solved this thing..." Yi Guang picked up the "five-vision omnipotent observer" on Zanke's head beheading, "Sorry, it seems that I have robbed your prey. "

Seeing the Teigu in Yiguang's hands, Brand and Leone's bodies moved slightly, but in the end they relaxed.

"It's alright, this kind of action is meant to start first. Since this guy has found you, then we have nothing to say..." Brand is a big brother-type character, and he works calmly, "It's just Lanza, Do you really think that the current empire is still worthy of your allegiance? Is it really good for you to take this imperial tool back and hand it over to the empire?"

"Imperial, sucks, I'll be blunt." Yiguang sighed, "Those stupid and greedy nobles are destroying everything in this country... These, of course I understand. I have fought in the dark until now, just to fight with They contend."

"Since you understand this, why don't you..." Brand heard it, and suddenly felt funny, "We can fight side by side again."

"However, in my opinion, the revolutionary army is more incompetent than the empire, and it is even less worthy of my service." Yi Guang sneered, "The revolutionary army is nothing more than collusion with foreign nations in the West, which is enough to make me feel good about it. They are full of disgust. Brother, you won't forget who we fought on the battlefield, right? Is there any difference between the alien races in the west and the alien races in the north? The revolutionary army brought them into the territory of the empire, and they all What did you do, brother, don't you know?"

"In order to fight against the empire, is it necessary to form an alliance?" The look on Brand's face was a little unsightly. "After all, the empire is too powerful."

"So what? We're going to lead wolves into the house? We're going to let the barbarians go and kill their own compatriots?" Yi Guang sneered, "Seize the land, betray the country, do nothing. Short-sighted, carry out terrorist attacks... This is the revolutionary army in my eyes. The future is promising. What if they break out of character and defeat the entire empire? You, who have long been infiltrated by foreign nations in the West, can really replace the empire and defend this land? You always think that as long as you cause turmoil in the imperial capital, the The empire collapsed, have you ever thought that after losing control of the imperial capital, will the revolutionary army have the ability to suppress the leaderless provincial generals and prefects? Do you think they will be honest, lay down their weapons and power, and surrender to the revolutionary army? ?"

Chapter 147 The So-called Revolutionary Army

Brand listened to Iguang's words and froze for a long time with Leona.They are all pure warriors, and they joined the revolutionary army just to resist the injustice of the empire.As for the things Yi Guang said, although they had heard of them, they didn't think about it.In their view, it is also a matter of course for them to unite with external allies in order to defeat the powerful and evil empire.As for the consequences of doing so, they naturally did not think about it.There is even a naive idea like Maine who believes that as long as the revolution is victorious, the revolutionary military regime will love each other with a family of foreign nations in the west.

However, when you think about it, everyone understands that this is impossible.The hatred and competition for interests that have been killing each other for hundreds of years cannot be ended by the destruction of the empire.

It's just that before, no one, like Yi Guang, has clearly stated the stakes to them.It was the first time they heard such a statement, and the two naturally felt that the amount of information in their minds was too large, and some were unacceptable.Leona, who was originally just a civilian, might be better, but for Brand, who was once committed to fighting against the alien races in the north... This is almost a brainstorm!

"Lanza...I don't understand what you said." After a long time, Brand said hoarsely, "However, the empire controlled by the minister today is indeed not worthy of our allegiance."

"I know, so I didn't shoot the two of you." Yiguang nodded, "I don't have much ill will about the 'Night Attack', otherwise I wouldn't have reached a cooperation with your boss Najeshtan back then. .Although our positions are different, we have a common enemy - the minister. Until this cancer is eradicated, we are still friends."

"In other words, after defeating the minister, are we the enemy?" Brand asked.

"Brother, I understand that you were deeply dissatisfied with the empire because of the affairs of Liwa Chief." Yiguang sighed, "However, in this matter, it is the ministers, the nobles, and the deceived emperor who are to blame. This empire, this country that is still guarded and admired by countless people, is innocent in itself. Its people are even more innocent. You have to resist, I don't care, everyone's position is different, this is what the empire owes Yours. However, you led wolves into the house, ceded land, betrayed the country... So good, we are the enemy."

"Lanza..." Brand pursed his lips, "Do you really want to be loyal to the empire all the time?"

"My allegiance is not the empire, but myself." Yi Guang sighed, "We all want to save this unfortunate world, but in different ways. I just chose the side that I think has a better chance... IMHO , Even compared with the empire that looks corrupt now, the revolutionary army is a bunch of scum. I can't have any expectations for such a group of people."

As I have said before, the plot of the episode "Zhan Chi" really cannot be studied in depth.Especially liberal arts students like Yi Guang, who are involved in politics and history, will have a strong sense of pitfall when watching this drama.

I don't know if it's because the Japanese don't understand politics. In this work, you will find countless logical bugs.Although the author tried very hard to describe the darkness and corruption of the empire, and correspondingly instill in the audience the idea that "night raids" can be eliminated by assassination.But how do you say it, it's okay if you don't describe it carefully, but once you do it carefully, it won't stand up to scrutiny.In particular, when this description is specific to scenes outside the imperial capital, there are more logical errors.

In "Zach of Red", there are two detailed descriptions of the daily scenes outside the imperial capital, namely the memories of "Night Raid" member Chelsea and "Hunter" member Lan.Although the author's original intention was to describe the reason why these two characters took the current path, these two points just show that the politics and people's livelihood of the empire... are actually not as bad as the author exaggerates.

In Chelsea's recollection, because the local prefect was not working, Chelsea killed him.Then the imperial capital sent a new, fair and honest prefect to govern Chelsea's hometown, and in a short period of time, she managed the province in an orderly manner. Chelsea was very happy because of this, and felt that she had done a good deed. .So she embarked on the path of a killer, hoping to make the world a better place by killing these corrupt bureaucrats.

At first glance, this story seems to be no problem, a very ordinary chivalrous story, but the protagonist has become a cute girl.However, if it is related to the whole world view... I'm sorry, what I want to say is that if this empire is really a pill, then just killing a prefect can't make the people's livelihood in the whole place improve instantly, right?

Let's not talk about the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, which are relatively far away from us, and just talk about the middle Ming Dynasty, which is relatively close to us, and at the same time, politics is not a special pill.If the textbook knowledge that Yi Guang has almost returned to the teacher in his mind is correct, several well-known "Master Qingtian" from the mid-Ming Dynasty, such as Yang Jizong and Hai Rui, were not caught by a group of junior officials and the above. A group of Shangguan who have cheated on them and led to their demotion and emigration?Even a famous anti-Japanese general like Qi Jiguang had to use corruption and bribes to please the traitor Yan Song and get through to his superiors, so that he could stay on the front line and fulfill his long-cherished wish to fight against Japanese pirates.

In other words, if a dynasty has really reached a hopeless level, then it is absolutely impossible for the place to have a situation where "a change of the blue sky can turn this place into a peaceful and prosperous place".Because the governance of an area cannot be done by the prefect alone, he must rely on the lower-level officials at all levels to convey and execute his own orders.If the empire is really like the pills that the author of "Zhan Chi" deliberately described... the prefect in Chelsea's story, I'm afraid he can't do anything, so let's take a look at the scenery by the window during the meeting.

Local government decrees are accessible, and superior orders can be quickly implemented and effective. You tell me that this country is a pill, and I don’t believe it.

The same is true of the memoirs of Lan, a member of "Hunter". The female prefect who fell in love with Lan also managed her territory in an orderly manner.This also shows that this female prefect has control over her territory and the smooth governance of the grassroots officials.
