Byron's Blade

Few people know that there is a vast underground space under the sacred tower of Babel Babel.Almost all of them are deep cells, holding a large number of criminals who have been judged by the church as "Lee Byron", that is, rebels.

This dungeon is called Nilayata Prison by church insiders.Niraya is the Cuban pronunciation of hell. For the believers of the Church of the Nine Gods who absorbed and integrated the teachings of many sects before the catastrophe, they named the prison at the bottom of the tower by citing the ancient Indian Buddhist language that created the concept of hell. , cannot be regarded as heresy.What's more, this prison is not open to the public, and people don't talk about it openly. It doesn't have an official name. "Nilaya" is just a reference for believers to discuss privately.

A small team of deacons entered the tower prison, and their destination was the heavyweight prisoner who was locked in the deepest prison cell of the tower prison.This person used to be one of the seven generals of the federation. Just a year ago, he was the president of the federation, the most distinguished person.However, now, together with his wife, he is imprisoned in such a deep prison, and has not seen the light of day for more than two months.

But to the people in the church, this prisoner is not like a prisoner at all. He is more like a devout believer than any believer here. He doesn't say a word every day, just sits quietly cross-legged and prays silently in his heart. Looking at something, like a statue.

Chuck Friesman, this is a frightening man, people can never see his heart clearly, he is like a chaotic weather situation after a catastrophe, whether it is sunny or rainy, cold or hot, unpredictable .Perhaps in this world, there is only one person who can walk into his inner world, and this person is now imprisoned opposite him, and it is his first wife——Mo Peiyuan.

When Mo Peiyuan was 24 years old, she married Chuck Friesman, who was 4 years older than her. This man had no intersection with her before.Their marriage is a political marriage.At that time, General Friesman's House urgently needed financial support to carry out many behind-the-scenes plans. The young Major General Chuck had already demonstrated outstanding political vision and means.For Mo Peiyuan, who also has excellent vision and skills, it is more appropriate to say that this man is her partner rather than her husband.For the first year, they barely had any physical contact.Even the matter of giving birth to their first child, Sona, was just a measure for them to strengthen their marriage and allow the two families to have successors.

Mo Peiyuan forgot when she fell in love with Chuck.Maybe that can't be said, she cares about Chuck very much, and Chuck is willing to open his heart to let her in, they are soulmate partners, and the bond between each other is very deep.However, there was almost no sex between them.

She knew that her husband was a very dangerous person.It was this danger that fascinated her.

In the early years, he hadn't fully shown such danger. For Mo Peiyuan, her husband was a man of means, which reassured her, because she knew that her husband would not be stupid, and he had clear goals. The goal is clearly imprinted on his mind, regulating all his actions.When a person has a lifelong goal, unswerving, even crazy, this can be called the charm of this person.

But as he grew older and experienced more and more things, Mo Peiyuan found that her husband was far from such a person.In order to achieve the goal, he will use any means, even at the expense of those close to him.Her husband was becoming more and more horrible, less and less human.He is like a cold computer, guiding the huge political and military machine under his hands to run at high speed, and he will give full play to the role of every part.His calculation ability is accurate to the tiniest unit, and he can calculate the enemy's movement. He can deduce hundreds of possibilities and perfectly formulate a countermeasure.

Even so, Mo Peiyuan has been watching what her husband has done for many years with the utmost patience.Even if her son was under his complete control and could not hold her head up; even if her daughter turned against him and did not want to see him again, she still endured it.Because she believed that her husband had a clear head and knew what he was doing.So far, these things have not broken through Mo Peiyuan's bottom line.It's not that she didn't think about trying to persuade him, but she also knew that his husband was walking on a tightrope, step by step, and his precise and cold calculations were all to achieve his final goal.Benevolence is definitely not the quality that a ruler should have, and the husband must not be misled by benevolence, otherwise their family will die without a place to bury them.

The ten-year-long plan finally came to an end. Watching the children and the loyal young people under him go out one by one to complete the mission and tasks assigned by their husbands, the husband also welcomed him. His own final job - to use himself as a hostage to paralyze the enemy and buy time for the kids outside.

Mo Peiyuan would not have been arrested, and Chuck had arranged a complete retreat for her and the Mo family.In Chuck's plan, he will be the only one under house arrest.But Mo Peiyuan voluntarily gave up on escaping, and she decided to fulfill the last responsibility of a partner—accompaniment.On the day they were arrested, the husband and wife sat quietly in the lobby opposite each other.Mo Peiyuan could see the relief and worry in her husband's eyes. She understood that staying by herself made him very happy.But he is still worried, worried about whether the great cause can be achieved, worried about whether his relatives can make it to the end safely.

Initially, the church was still afraid of Chuck.They didn't dare to neglect their husband and wife, and let them live in the pope's luxurious mansion, where they were provided with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and a large group of people followed them every day to monitor and put them under house arrest.

When the situation took a turn for the worse, the treatment they received would naturally also take a turn for the worse.From house arrest to rape, they were transferred to the dungeon under the tower.

She and Chuck were locked in opposite cells.There is a corridor in the middle, and the surroundings are incomparably silent.It's cold and dark in here, and not even mice will appear.There is nothing but iron doors and iron beds, inorganic stainless steel pools and urinals.The days here are extremely difficult. I open my eyes every day and don't know what I can do. Apart from recalling the past, there seems to be nothing else to pass the time.

Mo Peiyuan has never experienced this kind of hardship since she was a child, and she has never experienced prison.All this was complete torture for her.She is over fifty years old, and everything is not as good as before. The less than a month in prison has made her miserable.

These days, in order to pass the time, she thinks carefully about her past and analyzes her heart every day.Did she regret marrying such a rebel as Chuck Friesman?Will she hate her parents who made her marry, will she feel that the arranged marriage has ruined her life, so that when she gets old, she will suffer all kinds of crimes?

But her heart was surprisingly peaceful, she didn't feel regret or resentment, she felt that if this was the labor pain before all the good came, then she had to endure it.

Chuck, her husband, was in her eyes a rare great man in the world.Few people understand his world.He is a traitor, a son of vengeance, an unworldly genius who subverted the entire federation with one-man thinking, and the number one wise general who is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.He risked the displeasure of the world and became the first outright rebel in the world.He is synonymous with "Lee Byron". He is the one who holds the knife. It is the sharp blade in his hand that tears the night and ushers in the dawn.

The door of the cell opened, and monks wearing monk robes walked in. They put shackles on Mo Peiyuan and escorted her out of the cell.At the door, she saw her husband who had been away for a month.His beard and hair grew, became thinner, and became paler. On the sunken cheeks, the pair of sapphire eyes were still clear and bright.With bony hands and bulging veins, he covered his lips under the beard, and seemed to be smiling. He stretched out his shackled hands and smoothed the broken hair hanging on Mo Peiyuan's forehead.Then, just like going out in the morning on an ordinary day, he took the first step ahead of his wife.

The back that used to be as tall as a mountain is now bent and emaciated; the once straight military uniform and dazzling epaulettes have become a prison uniform and shackles made of coarse cloth; the military boots that were once bright as a mirror are now attached to a pair of slippers Can't wear any clothes, bare feet, walking on the rough cell floor.

Mo Peiyuan followed behind him, and time seemed to slow down bit by bit.She suddenly realized something:

Ah, Chuck Friesman, we've been married for life.

Thinking of this, her thoughts suddenly stirred, and she, who had not shed tears for many years, suddenly burst into tears.

At the end of the corridor, the elevator ascended, when the long-lost outside light shone above their heads.Chuck Friesman squinted his eyes, feeling more relaxed physically and mentally than ever before.He walked on the city wall with strides, and at the crenel not far away, the cannons that originally occupied the place were removed, and on the small platform, Chuck and Mo Peiyuan were escorted here to kneel down, and the executioner stood there. Behind them, the trigger will be pulled at any time.

Pope Douglas appeared not far away, holding a loudspeaker in his hand, and yelled at the Helios who was fighting under the city wall:

"Sebastian! Immediately stop the attack, release the control of the Helios, and surrender! I will give you 30 seconds. Once the time is over, I will immediately shoot the Friesmans!"

"The countdown starts, thirty, 29, 28..."

At that time, Sebastian prepared several Ares-type mechas and got entangled, his arms and legs were entangled by steel cables, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while.Hearing Douglas' threat, he became anxious.She observed for a while, and the armored vehicle driven by Mu Li had already arrived under the tower gate, but within 30 seconds, it was impossible to go up to the [-]-meter position from the bottom of the tower.If she wanted to save Chuck Friesman and Mo Peiyuan, she could only rely on her own strength.

In desperation, Sebastian roared, and activated the flame-powered thrusters on the rear wing of the Helios again, increasing the firepower to the maximum, and directly led several mechas into the air.Then her veins bulged, all the control of her muscles gathered together, and she drove the Helios into a violent spin in the air.

One, two, those mechas wrapped around the Helios were thrown off one by one, and when the last mecha was left, Sebastian picked up the mecha and rushed directly to the city wall. It hit the past.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." Douglas was still counting down, when he saw a mecha smashing towards his head from a distance.He let out a loud cry in shock, but he never thought that a rail cannon was fired from behind, directly piercing through the mecha that was flying towards him, and the mecha turned into countless fragments in the air and fell down.

Douglas was still in shock, and then roared angrily:

"Execute me!"

The executioner raised his gun and aimed it at the back of the Friesmans' heads.

The Helios was rushing towards the city wall, and seeing that it was going to be too late, Sebastian simply raised the arm of the Helios, and the hidden gun barrel in the arm was exposed, and shot directly at the bottom of the city wall crenel.

The distance was too far to see exactly what happened at that time, but there was a "bang" sound in the blink of an eye, and the crenel of the city wall collapsed, and the four people at the crenel were caught off guard and fell down.

The armored vehicle stopped below, and Mu Li, who was looking up, seemed to vaguely see the muzzle flame of the gun when the gun was fired at the crenel.Her heart was in her throat, wondering if the executioner had shot, but the Helios didn't have time.

I can't control that much, saving people is the most important thing now.As early as when the Helios had just raised its arm and was about to launch a missile, Mu Li slammed open the door of the armored vehicle with a bang, and bounced out of the vehicle.He spread his legs and began to run towards the direction of the fall at an astonishing speed.Amidst the hail of bullets, a figure was seen whizzing past like lightning, even the bullets couldn't catch up.

In his busy schedule, Mu Li also took time to contact Sebastian by radio:

"Colonel! Take me up there!"

Mu Li's words were very brief, but Sebastian understood her intention in an instant.Immediately, she dropped back to the ground and began to steer the Helios forward in great strides.Then I saw that while Mu Li was running forward like lightning, the Sun God was chasing after her with big strides above her head.A huge mech, a super new human, the running of the two has almost reached synchronization.The earth is roaring, and the extremely vigorous warriors are galloping on the battlefield.

The chain wrapped around the Helios was dragged to the ground, and sparks shot out under the high-speed drag.Mu Li gritted his teeth fiercely, rushed forward, and firmly grasped the chain with one hand.The barb on the chain pierced directly into her hand, but she didn't seem to notice it.

The Helios took off again while running, flying along the city wall into the sky.

It happened that General Friesman and Mo Peiyuan fell down. General Friesman was holding Mo Peiyuan tightly. When Mu Li saw it from below, he immediately shouted:

"hand!"

I don't know if General Friesman heard it and actually freed up a hand, but he didn't know where to grab it.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Mu Li stretched out his hand to catch it, and firmly grasped Friesman's wrist.Mu Li and Friesman's expressions changed due to the tension on the arm for a moment, but the two of them also held each other tightly without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, Friesman and Mo Peiyuan, who were originally falling, were suddenly taken up by the Sun God and Mu Li.

Numerous orbital guns came, and in order to ensure the safety of the three people hanging under the Helios, the Helios landed directly on the top of the city and put the three down.At the same time, it entrenched and guarded the three of them, waiting for them to take a breath before proceeding with the next action.

Mu Li's hand was covered with blood, Friesman's arm was dislocated, and he was shot in the shoulder. Both arms were almost useless.Mo Peiyuan was so stimulated that she passed out.

"Mu Li, good boy, you are finally here." He was very happy despite being so seriously injured.

Mu Li stood up, took out a triangular bandage and a hemostatic cloth from the first aid kit at his waist, and bandaged Friesman without looking at him, saying:

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

"The mission is not over, so I can't die. I have to witness with my own eyes that you overthrow the Jiushen system, so I can rest assured."

"Hmph, at this point, it's still the same aggressive and disgusting." Mu Li finished bandaging him, stood up, and confessed to Sebastian:

"Protect them, I will continue to carry out the task."

After all, before the enemy rushed over, she quickly ran along the city wall and into the tower.
