"Thor, thank you very much. Without you, our actions today would have been meaningless and blind." Taina took the former guerrilla's hand and expressed her gratitude with her last strength.
Thor Lanner, who had become a traitor to the association inexplicably, shook his head with a heavy face.
He was looking at the woman who was about to leave with admiration, and there was only confusion and sadness in his heart. He no longer knew why he became a member of the Burning Legion in a muddle-headed manner, but he no longer cared about it.
Something happened.
"...But, if you think about it carefully, we were actually acting blindly from the beginning. I actually put my life on the line to understand this truth."
Her words finally broke everyone's guard, and there were low sounds of crying at the scene. However, her smile was even more magnanimous: "Don't cry! How dare you make a revolution if you are so spiritless? I am the one who is going to die!"
Dalli, a rebel warrior of the Lothar people, did not cry. He had been following Taina Morn for some time and was familiar with each other. In his image, the young leader was actually a melancholy and quiet girl, even though
She was smiling, always with a sense of melancholy and brokenness. But now, when her life was about to end, she showed unprecedented clarity.
As a comrade of the Burning Legion, he felt that he should be sad for her passing, but as a friend, shouldn't he be happy for her relief?
Lothar the psyker didn't know what expression to make for a while.
Taina continued to babble: "I have never been a staunch rebel fighter, let alone a revolutionary. I am a young lady who grew up in an environment of good food and clothing. The only special thing is that I am special in my rebellious period.
Growing up. My life was arranged by others. They were my parents before, and later they became the eldest sister of my generation. In the future, maybe it will be a husband I have never met, or even future children. I
I think I am fighting for the ideal of justice, but in fact I am just trying to prove myself, that I am an independent person with free thoughts and not just a puppet pretending to be a human being."
No one interrupted her.
Lanna Guerrillas even felt that it was a blessing in a sense that a person who was about to die still had time and energy to say so many things.
"I give my life here, not just for you, but also for me. I just want to tell her that she can't count everything. I am not her dog, not her doll."
Dali and Lanna looked at each other. Naturally, they didn't know who it was, but they could guess that it must be a big boss from the Thirteen Family. This person may be the biggest and most powerful one that everyone needs to fight.
The big devil.
"I'm sorry, and thank you all for tolerating my willfulness. You people are actually much more innocent than me. Dalli, Val, we have agreed that you are not allowed to die here! I know now that Nephi is the most powerful enemy.
A powerful base camp. We need to change the world and seriously think about the future. So, go find Ash and give him all the Noble Phantasms he lent me. Also, tell him that I am sorry for him.
All previous agreements are void. I left him something in the safe in Canchuan City, and he knows the specific location and password."
At this time, Ash Stern and the remaining men of the "Sons of Loha" had already left Nephi and had arrived at the border between the Tuoshan Star District and the Kingdom of Halba. Everyone agreed to
Where can we make peace?
It is said that Mr. Ash Stern successfully found a semi-abandoned space city in the border system and temporarily settled everyone down. This was everyone's way out.
Dali's eyes became more and more gloomy. He really couldn't imagine how Mr. Ash, who was planning a way out for everyone, would react when he heard the bad news.
"Dali, everyone here is entrusted to you."
The young Lothar warrior did not delay any longer and nodded vigorously without hesitation. He was a psyker and a veteran of the rebel army, so he was the only candidate.
"However, you are not very familiar with Nephi, so..." Taina looked at Lanna again, her eyes bright and clear. It is hard to imagine a person who is about to die, but his eyes are still full of such power.
"I will find a way." Thor Lanner said: "Even Nephi can find the smuggling ship. I have a very reliable smuggling friend who can take us away."
Isn't this guy a guerrilla? The Lothar people couldn't help but glance at Lanna and felt that the composition of this new comrade was quite complicated, but he said it didn't matter. However, in this context, the composition is complex.
Fortunately.
Taina added: "I also recorded three letters, all of which are in my terminal. Please give them to Mr. Qi Bingwen and General Yu Lian of the community respectively. The last one, if you have a chance, give it to... um
, No need, just send it directly to the headquarters of the Rainbow Rose Foundation. They know who to give it to."
After saying her last words, the first leader of the Burning Legion finally let out a sigh of relief. She exhaled a mouthful of turbid air with the smell of blood, and her eyes gradually began to blur.
On December 12, 833 Common Calendar, at 22:48 Nephi Standard Time, Taina Morn's time stopped at the age of twenty-three.
In this way, Asher Stern, who was 5,000 light-years away, automatically became the successor leader of the Burning Legion without his knowledge.
Everyone on the ship stayed with Taina until she completely left, then they began to collect their emotions and take action. In accordance with Taina's instructions during her lifetime, they took away the zero element separated after her death and kept it as a public resource for the rebels.
Okay. Then, cut off another strand of hair, put it in a titanium pendant, and handed it to Ash Stern during the meeting.
The remaining remains were put into a small wooden boat and pushed into the sea, and then lit with a torch. The boat would carry the torch and ashes and naturally sail to the depths of the Falling Star Sea.
Then, under the guidance of the former guerrilla Silana, they drove a small boat out of the Sea of Fallen Stars and headed to the Ronan Islands in the western hemisphere of Nephi to find a smuggling ship that could take them away.
There are some bearer promissory notes and a small amount of precious metals in the cargo hold, which can be used to buy ship tickets or even make some supplies and weapons.
In addition, when everyone broke out in Republic Square, Mr. Edko, the chairman of the Frugal Society, also said that it would be best to meet at the Ronan Islands in a week. This was actually before the Ice Valley City incident when the previous leader returned.
The matter was decided when Mr. Moore was still there. It was simply that some radical students believed that mere street movements would not be able to save the alliance and hoped to join the resistance organization.
Of course, the rebel officers and soldiers welcome this issue. They all feel that having top academics from the Frugal Society join will formalize the organization. In this way, the Burning Legion will become more and more like a system with ideals.
organization, rather than a first-class peasant uprising.
Of course, while on the road, we cannot cut off contact with the outside world. For fear of being monitored, everyone's personal terminals have been modified and cut off from the Star Network. However, after all, Taina was once a reporter for a major newspaper.
A large commercial terminal that had been passed down several times was left on the ship. It is said to be the model most favored by pirates and smuggling ships.
However, the news heard from the terminal made everyone find it unbelievable.
They switched to 20 news channels, and only two mentioned the Gem Coast protest rally, but the incident lasted less than half a minute, and the words were understated, as if it was just a small-scale security incident.
Of course, the assassination of Senator Emeta Parotin was covered in great detail. After all, that person was the leader of the opposition alliance and a very popular political star, and he fell in front of so many people.
It cannot be ignored lightly.
As a result, the news was filled with various commemorative programs. Mrs. Pallotin, who had just passed away in the hospital, suddenly turned into a living saint, as if she was about to be ranked alongside Yagomi Berenkeist.
The rebel soldiers were just irritated by what they heard, so they adjusted the program to the more solemn Universal News Channel. This channel is a friendly channel of the ruling Xinghai United, and can even be directly regarded as a mouthpiece of the ruling party.
Sure enough, the news in his mouth was all about the ruling party. Marshal Esco, the acting commander-in-chief, had already submitted his resignation to Congress, and it was quickly accepted.
Although the old marshal was not a professional politician and was always missing a muscle in this aspect, he was not a fool after all. At this level, even if he thought about it on his knees, he knew that the only way to maintain dignity was
It's just that you know what you're interested in.
He was very sensible and maintained his dignity. At least he was much more dignified when he was impeached and stepped down.
In addition, the Congress stated that it will start the general election in January next year and try to simplify the election procedures to welcome new national leaders to the Azul Palace.
Therefore, Marshal Esco, who has a strong sense of responsibility, followed the trend and stood at the last post at the request of the members of Congress.
Ironically, in the last six months of his term, he will be a head of state without the pressure of election or impeachment. He will also be a commander-in-chief who will have no constraints and can govern with peace of mind.
If you are a very active politician, you can accomplish many major things in half a year.
Therefore, Marshal Esco said that he would do his job well. His last important job was to entertain President Nichita of the Blue Star Community who was about to come for a state visit.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that there was another important foreign affairs event here. On the other side of the galaxy, the largest war since the Seventh Galactic War had entered its most brutal phase.
White-hot stage.
"The president of the earth is still coming?"
"I know, I know, that old lunatic Esco is actually a hopeless war maniac! The Alliance will involve us in the war. How can such an old insect become the commander-in-chief?"
"But the war has already happened. We can't let the empire really swallow the people on earth, right? How long can the people on earth resist?"
"I hate the master of the Alliance, but I also hate the master of the Empire."
The rebel soldiers of the Burning Legion had complicated thoughts and debates. They really did not want to get involved in the war between the empire and the community. However, due to the simple values and correct outlook on life of the rebels and revolutionaries, they naturally had no good impressions of the empire. Of course, they did not
I really can’t say something like “What does the life and death of people on Earth have to do with us?”
In fact, this can indeed have something to do with them.
The rebel soldiers may just feel that if the alliance government really focuses on foreign affairs activities and war, everyone's situation will be better and it will be easier to escape from Nephi, right?
In any case, at least at this time, the soldiers of the Burning Legion were somewhat grateful to the arriving Commander Keith Nicita.
