"Fei Long is a traitor." It was the first sentence that Aber uttered, and his words echoed throughout the top of the Hope Barrier and into the ears of all the gathered warriors.
It was the Battle Cry of the Purple Moon Warriors, and Aber used it to give his speech.
Following his words, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder.
No one said a word. The sudden news was like a bolt of lightning in the sky. The sudden clap of thunder was so shocking that no one had time to react.
However, Aber did not plan to give everyone and the warriors time to digest the news. He continued, "Besides, Fei Long is not the only traitor.
Safety Sector No. 17 is rotten to the core. Even if the castellan returns, he won't be able to stop the rotten aura from spreading.
"So, as you can see, the Underground race that we've been suppressing has invaded us. The balance between the underground and the surface that we've sacrificed so much has been broken.
They've broken through the underground checkpoint that we've been defending. They've sent their troops to invade the surface and occupy Safety Sector No. 17. They want to claim the Universal Source Ore for themselves.
"I'm not joking. What do you think the Purple Moon Warriors are doing? Why are they rarely seen in the battlefield ruins? It's because they're guarding the underground, the most important checkpoint.
"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide from you. The underground that's guarding the crack in the Hope Barrier is called Underground Sector R. It's the size of a human village. Yes, it's the size of a safety village.
"The Hope Barrier actually has the upper hand in terms of military strength and can easily crush them. However, Sector R has three important strategic passageways that connect to a bigger area in the underground. Therefore, we dare not break the balance. The only thing we can do is to send Purple Moon Warriors to guard the three passageways. Both sides barely maintain the balance with tacit understanding.
"It's been almost a hundred years, and we've been guarding the Hope Barrier in silence. Small skirmishes broke out from time to time and countless Purple Moon Warriors were sacrificed in exchange for the construction of the Hope Barrier. Safety Sector No. 17 had a stable source of food, so the population of Safety Sector No. 17 kept increasing and growing. Eventually, it became a qualified shelter in this unstable era.
"However, there was someone who wasn't moved by the sacrifice. He betrayed us. No, to be exact, he and the interests behind him betrayed us. As for the details, I can only tell you one thing. Fei Long was the one who carried out the garrison mission last month. He somehow lost an important strategic passageway, and the dozen or so Purple Moon Warriors who were supposed to guard the passageway with their lives all fled for their lives. As for Fei Long himself … Hmph! A dignified captain of the Purple Moon Warriors was captured alive! " At this point, Aber finally paused. His face was filled with grief and indignation. With a sense of justice that was filled with vicissitudes of life, he scanned through the faces of every warrior present.
Rumble! The sound of thunder became even louder. After the sound of thunder, the rain became even more violent. It was so heavy that it made people's vision blur.
Still, no one said anything. What should they say? How could he accept the fact that Wyvern was a traitor?
The legend of Safety Sector No. 17, the youngest captain of the Purple Moon, the most dazzling genius when he was young, the person who risked his life for the safety sector countless times, was a traitor?!
This news filled everyone with despair. It was even more devastating than the invasion of the underground races.
If Wyvern was really a traitor, what else could they believe? The bloody battles that had been going on every day started to have a tinge of mockery.
Aber revealed a cold smile on his face as if he was mocking the fact that Wyvern was the leader of the traitors. How ironic was that?
Tang Ling also showed a sneer of mockery. Was there a better actor than Aber? Every gaze, every expression, and every movement of his was filled with professionalism.
My family is the one who colluded with the Underground race, yet he labeled the innocent Wyvern as a traitor?
The reputation of the Agnes family will rise to the top, won't it? What kind of bullsh * t will he spout next? Wyvern … What kind of situation is this Wyvern who has always been kind to me?
With that in mind, Tang Ling looked at Yang Kong.
Yang Kong lowered his head, hiding his expression from the others.
Nevertheless, Yang Kong was calm. As the teacher who was closest to Wyvern, he must know something to be able to stay calm.
Unfortunately, Tang Ling could not ask.
Everyone in the Fierce Dragon Squad looked at Tang Ling with worry because everyone in the Hope Barrier, at least in the First Reserved Camp, knew that Tang Ling was under the protection of the flying dragons.
What about Tang Ling? After that, he … No one in the Fierce Dragon Squad would believe that Tang Ling was a traitor.
The rain drenched his hat, but his side profile looked calm. He even sensed Vian's worried gaze at him, so he turned around and returned her a smile.
'It's over. No matter what, after today's farce, my days of being intimate with my Fierce Dragon Squad members are over, right?'
Tang Ling looked at the thick forest on the left before he retracted his gaze. He thought that he would miss this place in the future.
In the boiling sound of the rain.
Castellan Worf stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. His gaze pierced through the ruins of the battlefield and looked into the distance of the forest on the right flank.
With Wyvern's ability, he should have passed through the forest by now, right?
The forest was safe, but the entire Herrocky Mountain Ridge was filled with danger. Hopefully, he could carve a bloody path out and reach Darkness Port safely.
From now on, should he hide his identity and forget about his identity as a flying dragon and become a true free man of Darkness Port?
Or should he not forget the humiliation he suffered today and return to Safety Sector No. 17 as a flying dragon? He would wash away the hatred with blood and fire. It was all up to him now.
"Castellan, is this the path you've chosen?" Zorwen's voice was a little shaky.
Earlier, he and the castellan, who was also Worf, his close comrade who had fought side by side with him for almost 40 years, had gone through the most humiliating negotiation of his life.
In exchange for the Wyvern's reputation as a traitor, those shameless fellows would let the Wyvern off today.
Worf agreed.
This man, who had always been dignified and powerful, seemed to have aged 10 years after those shameless people left. He looked at Zorwen and said, "In history, there has always been a person who has to bear all the humiliation like a target."
I'm that target. But old friend, you know me, don't you? I'm a person who has a purpose and a goal in everything I do. I can bear all the humiliation, but I've found my support. That is … to protect. I'm protecting. Do you understand? "
Zorwen understood that this was the path Worf had chosen.
**
Without the glorious purple standard armor and the purple uniform that represented his identity, Wyvern was only wearing a common warrior's battle uniform. He sprinted through the forest on the right flank where the storm was pouring.
Crying was a memory from many years ago. Wyvern had almost forgotten how it tasted.
However, wasn't today the day that he shouldn't cry the most? Why couldn't he hold back his tears?
Not far away from the Hope Barrier, Aber used the Purple Moon Warrior's unique War Howl to speak, and every word he said reached Wyvern's ears intermittently.
Wyvern hated it. Why was his hearing so good? In the past, wasn't he proud of his outstanding five senses?
'Wyvern is a traitor.'
'Yet, some people aren't moved by the sacrifice. He betrayed us …'
Sob! Helpless and painful whimpers came from the gaps of Wyvern's teeth. Damn it, didn't I tell you not to cry and not to cry?
"We've been adopted. Safety Sector No. 17 has adopted us." Yang Kong looked anxious.
"Safety Sector No. 17? What kind of place is that? Is it a good place?" Wyvern had always been a carefree person. Did they have a place to stay?
"I don't know, but Moen's mother wouldn't lie to us. She'll find a warm place for us to live." Yang Kong hugged his knees. Instead of saying he was telling Wyvern something, it was more like he was comforting himself.
A warm place?
Yes, a warm place.
Castellan Worf was still young. Back then, Safety Sector No. 17 was filled with hope and laughter. He grew up here and became a genius. He protected Safety Sector No. 17 with his first ideals and hopes.
Unfortunately, when did he start to change? When did he learn to compromise and forget his first heart?
Was this retribution? He had become a traitor of Safety Sector No. 17 and had to run away in an awkward manner on a day filled with humiliation and mockery.
Once upon a time, in the distant past, would he have thought that such a day would come?
"Aaaargh!" Wyvern punched a Level 1 mutated beast that lunged at him. Blood from the explosion mixed with the rain and splashed all over his body, but he could not vent his anger.
Tears were weak. They were so weak that it was disgusting!
But Yang Kong … You have to hold on in Safety Sector No. 17. Thuja and them … the orphans that were left behind in Safety Sector No. 17.
You'll believe me, won't you?
The more he thought about it, the harder he could not hold back his tears.
Wyvern ran faster and faster. He did not forget his first heart. He thought he was compromising because of his first heart, but it was wrong. In this era, there was no such thing as compromising. There was only an unyielding iron will!
Yang Kong … Yang Kong! You must stay in the Safety Sector. Don't forget Tang Ling … Even if there's only a slim chance, don't forget Tang Ling!
That's right, Tang Ling! Wyvern wiped his tears away. Tang Ling's name somehow ignited hope in his heart.
It was not a slim chance. It was a hundred percent chance!
Because that man was called — — Tang Feng!
**
"Tang Ling." Yang Kong looked up and saw Tang Ling's smile at Vian.
What a strange young man, making people feel inexplicably at ease. How could I not think of that man?
He was actually very arrogant, wasn't he? He didn't even change his surname. It was still the same 'Tang'. Was he his son? However, everyone was anxious and dared not imagine the possibility.
After muttering the young man's name in his heart, Yang Kong glanced at the thick forest on the right and felt relieved.
Aber's insolent performance was still going on. Accompanied by his profound "Battle Roar", the provocative speech continued.
"Safety Sector No. 17 is in its most critical moment now. It's true that it's rotten to the core by a bunch of worms. However, there's still a group of people who can't give up on it.
Those people are the Agnes family and every single one of you here today.
The cleansing of the Safety Sector is happening right now, and the Agnes family is standing up in the face of danger to clear Safety Sector No. 17.
What about the Hope Barrier? Look at our patriarch, Clyne Agnes! I believe all of you have seen him donning the armor of a Purple Moon Warrior again at the age of 90. We're here with the Purple Moon Warriors.
Now, the war on the surface will be left to all of you. Leave the battle of sealing the underground to us. I, Aber Agnes, will personally lead the Purple Moon Warriors and the First Reserved Camp deep underground to seal off the strategic passages. Safety Sector No. 17 will emerge victorious in today's battle! "Aber raised his hand and shouted madly at the end.
His emotions were stirred up along with the war cry. All the warriors started to chant, "Safety Sector No. 17 will emerge victorious!"
Yang Kong's expression changed when he heard the cheers. He rushed to a command tent in the Patrol Ground and took out a megaphone. He mustered all his strength and shouted, "Lord Aber, I have a question. Why is the First Reserved Camp going deep into Sector R? Their combat power …"
Yang Kong's shout was risky because everyone knew that he was very close to Fei Long. Although he was not wrong to say something like that at a time like this, it somehow made people feel repulsed.
Aber's expression did not change. He did not even say anything to mock Yang Kong because of his relationship with Fei Long.
With a sorrowful expression, he looked at Yang Kong and the others. "I don't want the First Reserved Camp to fight either. However, in the current Safety Sector No. 17, other than the Purple Moon Warriors, is there any group of elite warriors who are stronger than the First Reserved Camp? There are three strategic passages underground that need to be sealed off. Half of the Purple Moon Warriors are still stationed in Safety Sector No. 17.
Do you understand? The purge is painful. Without a strong defense, the Safety Sector No. 17 that we protect will be overturned.
We need men. We need brave and capable men. Yang Kong, do you understand? "Aber showed a helpless and helpless look at the end of his words.
It was then that Andrew stepped up and said loudly, "The Summit Squad of the First Reserved Camp is willing to follow the Purple Moon Warriors underground."
With Andrew's declaration, the other squads of the First Reserved Camp also stepped up and declared.
Tang Ling was calm throughout, but Amir stepped up and declared loudly, "The Fierce Dragon Squad of the First Reserved Camp is willing to follow the Purple Moon Warriors underground."
"Amir?" Christina turned around in surprise. Her blood was stirred up, but deep in her heart, she did not want to believe that Captain Fei Long was a traitor.
She was just surprised that Amir was the one who stepped up at this time. Wasn't Tang Ling their acknowledged captain?
Amir was steady and calm. He looked at the others and said softly, "Let's not talk about Captain Fei Long. I'm just thinking that we need merits, especially Tang Ling. "
"Amir, you're the best." Christina was so touched that she grabbed Amir's sleeve. Amir lowered his head in embarrassment.
Amir's actions also reminded everyone that instead of worrying about Tang Ling and doing nothing, they might as well go out and fight for the accolades. With the accolades, they would have a talisman that could protect them from harm.
Tang Ling heaved a breath of relief and looked at Amir with gratitude. "Thank you, Amir. I thought … "
"I've never disliked you. Never. I mean it. "Amir looked at Tang Ling seriously and added," You have to remember this. "
"Yeah, I remember." Tang Ling nodded.
He did suspect Amir before, but he did not want to suspect him. It was more painful than facing the conspiracy against him.
Tang Ling treated Amir as his comrade and a member of the Fierce Dragon Squad.
Today, however, he was faced with terrible news. Only Amir's words were his only comfort.
"Thank you! Thank you, young New Moon Warriors!" Aber expressed his gratitude appropriately before he said loudly, "The New Moon Warriors are our hope. They are hot-blooded and brave enough to stand up for us. We, the Purple Moon Warriors, must do something! "
As he spoke, Aber was the first to unlock the lock on his abdomen. Pak! The tactical movement disk on his back was removed.
"Purple Moon Squad 1, 2, and 3, remove your tactical movement disks," Aber announced loudly.
The Purple Moon Warriors obeyed and removed their disks one after another.
"As you all know, the most important equipment for a Purple Moon Warrior is the tactical movement disk. Due to the rarity of the materials, Safety Sector No. 17 has limited reserves. That's why we have one every time a Purple Moon Warrior shows up. We don't have more tactical movement disks for now.
"But, what is it? It's a life-saving weapon and the best support for us in battle. Now, all the tactical movement disks of the Purple Moon Warriors will be handed over to the New Moon Warriors because they are the future hope of Safety Sector No. 17. "Right after Aber's words subsided, the entire Hope Barrier applauded.
Aber continued, "Purple Moon Warriors, remove the audio lock on the tactical movement disk so that it can record a second person's voice and use it in battle. New Moon Warriors of the First Reserved Camp, listen up! The captains who came out to express their opinions, come over and claim your tactical movement disk. "
"Yes, sir!" The First Reserved Camp replied in unison.
Andrew lowered his head slightly as a maniacal smile appeared on his face. Then, he lifted his head and walked forward in solemn steps. All the captains, including Amir, followed Andrew's footsteps to claim their so-called holy tactical movement disks.
Tang Ling looked at everything coldly. Underground? Is this some kind of conspiracy? Or is it just a show? He had too little information, so he could not get an accurate answer for the time being.
