Chapter 192 First Battle
Assassination and protection are two completely different concepts, the former is active and the latter is passive.
Especially as a guardian, the pressure caused by being tense all the time is very draining on a person's mind.
This was Esdeath's conspiracy, forcing those who attacked at night to expose themselves.
noon.
The sun is shining brightly.
Several carriages are walking on the forest road, and there are many servants waiting outside. Can you hear the laughter and laughter coming from the middle car?
"Is this the most famous righteous man in the empire? As the Minister of Finance, just counting from the first time I saw him, the things I have consumed until now have reached a level that ordinary people may not be able to earn in a lifetime. ."
It was really hard for Amber to understand why the Revolutionary Army took a fancy to the fat man in the carriage.
"Strictly speaking, this guy probably chose you because his family business was usurped by Minister Ernest, right?"
"No, I heard from Boss that Count Rocco has opened many asylums in the imperial capital to take in orphans who have become homeless due to accidents."
Hill retorted in a low voice, "You don't have to be so prejudiced. Although he is more... um... more open in his personal life, it doesn't hinder anything."
"Asylum?"
As soon as she heard this word, some bad images appeared in Amber's mind, "Have you ever gone there to investigate carefully?"
"No, everyone says so, why bother investigating?"
Hill didn't know why.
"That's it."
Amber didn't say anything anymore, thinking that when she went back this time, she would take a good look at those so-called asylums. If it was what she thought, then the whole family of Rocco, the fat man, would be buried with him.
Just like that time with Purple Flower.
Fortunately, there are enough street lamps in the imperial capital, and no matter how many sheep and scorpions they are, they can be hung on them.
"Speaking of which, Chelsea's abilities are really useful."
Seeing that the atmosphere became silent, Hill took the initiative to find a topic, "Being able to transform into anyone at will is simply for the purpose of sneaking in."
"She is too weak and that is the root of all tragedy."
Amber doesn't mince words.
This mission is still a team of two. He is a non-staff member and does not count.
The other two groups were Tazmi and Mayin, and Chitong and Lubbock. Nadjeta patrols the sky with flying dangerous species, and sends Susano'o for support at any time.
Hill bulged her mouth, feeling a little depressed. That's not what she wanted to say!
"What's wrong?"
Amber looked at the girl with glasses in confusion.
"nothing."
Hill smiled slightly and became gentle again, "When the war is over, what are you going to do?"
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Amber withdrew her gaze and looked straight at the road in the distance, "But it doesn't matter if I tell you. After I deal with those guys who make me sick, I should find a place to settle down, spend money to buy a territory, and take in some homeless people." people and the like.”
"Territory?"
Hill's eyes lit up, "I just don't have anywhere to go, so why don't I go to your place."
"real?"
Amber looked up in surprise.
"certainly."
Hill's little head shook and a slight blush appeared on his face, "I'm looking forward to it very much."
"That's fine, it's the same for anyone."
Amber agreed.
While the two were talking, a man's voice suddenly intervened.
"So this is what you are talking about. You are really relaxed."
Hill was startled, and turned around to look, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hill's middle-aged beard disguised with a Teigu.
"Just chatting."
She gave an awkward explanation.
"Although I can't stop you from doing anything, if something unexpected happens, as I don't have the ability to fight, I can't help much."
Chelsea just wanted to remind the two of them to pay attention. After all, Esdeath's men might attack at any time.
"Ha... With Amber here, I should..."
Before Hill finished speaking, the carriage that was running normally was suddenly covered by a layer of ice, and it was rapidly spreading towards this side.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Amber grabbed the clothes of the two of them and pulled them to a safe distance.
"It's...it's her!"
Chelsea swallowed, her expression becoming extremely nervous.
"Esdeath!"
Hill looked at the convoy that had been completely frozen with anger. It was almost unnecessary to think that their mission this time had failed.
"Damn little bug, you actually want me to do it myself."
Esdeath came alone, showing absolute confidence in her own strength. "Are you ready to die?"
"You go first."
Amber exhaled softly and took a step forward to block the two women behind her.
"I can help you!"
Hill didn't want to leave, and Chelsea had already run away.
This girl just listens to advice.
"Walk."
Amber looked back at her, who bit her lip, and finally said: "You promised me that we would live together in the future! Don't die!"
For a person of Hill's character, these words are almost equivalent to a confession.
"Um."
Amber smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Hill gave him one last look and immediately turned to follow Chelsea's lead.
Esdeath did not chase, but quietly looked at Amber whose pupils were gradually turning red. The familiar murderous intention was almost no less than that of her who drank the devil's essence.
"People like you shouldn't be in the revolutionary army."
"So I'm not a night raider."
Amber held Langnoukis in his hands, "This is the way this world is, whether it's the empire or them, it's just a new reincarnation."
"The words are surprisingly familiar."
Esdeath became more interested and said, "I can give you a chance to become my subordinate. All the things you did in the past can be forgotten."
"Sorry, I hate those rotting maggots even more."
Amber's expression did not change at all, "The strong can act arbitrarily and trample on others' dignity, personality, and even everything they own.
And my existence is specifically for hunting strong men. "
"That's such a shame."
Esdeath said this, but her expression became extremely excited.
She is a fighting fanatic, and nothing makes her happier than having a good opponent.
"Through him!"
With a wave of Esdeath's arm, countless large and small ice picks appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Amber without any blind spots.
Each of them has the speed and penetration of a bullet, and is extremely sharp.
"You're really...underestimated."
Amber did not dodge, but slapped Langnukis to the ground hard, and a red halo suddenly appeared around her body.
"Scarlet Explosion!!"
The characteristics of this gun are that it can penetrate everything and will never be destroyed. It also has two special effects of good soul and evil soul.
But as his mastery deepened, he discovered that Langnoukis could do much more than that.
Such as the current scene.
