Chapter 279 279. The truth, the truth!
Xia Feng hurried forward.
Li Zaishi raised his heavy eyelids with great effort. Seeing the newcomers, he pulled a sad smile from the corner of his lips: "You are here."
"What's going on? Who are the enemies?"
Xia Feng frowned and squatted down to check Li Zaishi's injuries. Unfortunately, he was already on the verge of death, his soul was about to collapse, and there was no cure.
"Cough—cough—" Li Zaishi coughed twice more with great effort. Dark purple blood flowed out from the corner of his lips. His white, cracked lips trembled and his voice was hoarse. "In my pocket, in my pocket."
Xia Feng understood what was going on and quickly searched his body, finding a red cloth bag and an old pocket watch covered in cracks.
When the watch cover popped open, the halo inside emerged, forming a light curtain image in the air.
The video records the scene of the veterans temporarily leaving Baidi City and hiding in the dense forest.
But before long, they encountered a knight wearing bright silver armor, with a gray wolf-tail hairstyle and a holy white X mark engraved on his forehead.
The knight walked slowly from the depths of the dark forest. It was Silver Ten!
As a member of the investigation team, Lin Musen naturally knew Yin Shi because Yin Shi was his superior.
It was Yin Shi who sent him to lead the team into the Egret restricted area for investigation.
He also successfully found out part of the truth. He had previously taken advantage of the space channel opened by the blue whale to bypass the interference of time and space turbulence and transmit the information out of the restricted area.
Yin Shi probably found this place based on the location of this information.
"It's okay, he's one of us." Lin Musen breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the veterans, introducing them, "This is the Silver Ten from the Knights of the Apocalypse."
"The Ten Great Men of Silver, they are the remnants of the White Emperor City soldiers that I mentioned in the message. With them here, the treason case from thirty years ago should be quickly overturned and the truth revealed!"
Seeing this, the vigilant veterans behind also breathed a sigh of relief. They naturally knew about the Knights of the Apocalypse.
Possessing the highest law enforcement power and immunity from killing that overrides all official agencies, every member of the Knights is absolutely loyal to the Empire and upholds the core concept that 'any individual or force that is detrimental to the Empire will become the target of Apocalypse'.
It can be said that they are all deadpools who are willing to defend the empire to the death, and no personal interests or emotions will be involved in any decision they make.
If there were a Horseman of the Apocalypse investigating the treason case, things would probably go much more smoothly.
The veterans also saw hope for life. They had originally made up their minds to die at any time, but now they wanted to stay alive and witness the truth!
After defending the city for 30 years, they discovered that the enemy was the empire itself, and they became traitors in the eyes of the world, nailed to the pillar of shame in history! Nothing could make them more angry and desperate than this.
Now they just want to return to the empire and make the person behind the scenes pay the price!
"Master Yinshi." Li Zaishi stepped forward, clasping his fists and speaking respectfully, "I am a fifth-class sergeant from Baidi City, the newly formed 11th Bailu Division, formerly affiliated with the Yinlong Army."
Li Zaishi said this, but Yin Shi ignored him. His gray eyes calmly glanced at the old soldiers, women and children around him, and he slowly drew out his giant sword.
The next moment, invisible and terrifying sword energy burst out!
Zi——
In the dark foggy forest, one hundred human heads flew into the sky, their expressions frozen in the moment before death, with confusion in their eyes.
The sudden accident caught everyone off guard and their faces changed suddenly.
"The Ten Great Yin Yin Men!?" Lin Musen was stunned.
"Fuck!" Li Zaishi's skin was numb as he shouted, "Scatter! Run in different directions!"
But unfortunately, the Silver Ten that appeared here was the real body, a Venerable.
No one can escape from his sword energy field.
One by one, the heads left the headless torso, and Li Zaishi and Lin Musen rushed towards the Wolf-Tailed Knight with angry eyes, but the next moment they were bounced away and hit the tree stump hard, spurting blood.
This was a massacre without any suspense. The Wolf Tail Knight, holding a huge sword, slowly walked out of the smoke and dust.
"Yin Shi! Do you know what you are doing? You are betraying the empire!" Lin Musen's eyes were bulging and he roared angrily. He didn't expect that he would actually attract a demon!
I never expected that the Apocalypse Knight would do such a thing!
"Sergeant Lin, when the investigation team was established, I asked you to keep this in mind."
Hearing Lin Musen's question, Yin Shi simply said indifferently: "For the empire, the truth is not important. The truth that is in line with the empire's interests is what matters."
"One hundred thousand soldiers were falsely accused of treason, yet not a single word leaked out. The forces and interests involved are far more numerous than you might imagine.
Rather than risking a second civil war in the empire caused by overturning the verdict, we should make these remnants of the empire, long forgotten by the empire, a mere chapter in history books. This is what you and I should do."
Lin Musen opened his mouth in shock, muttering in horror, "Fuck you!"
Seeing that he still looked unacceptable, Yin Shi shook his head and said, "Sergeant Lin, I admire your absolute loyalty to the Empire, but for now, it seems that your psychological evaluation for promotion to Apocalypse Knight must be suspended."
"I'll kill your mother!" Lin Musen's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared and raised his sword to kill the Wolf Tail Knight again.
Bang——
He flew backwards and fell back onto the tree stump, barely breathing.
"Thirty years ago, Lord Wei Zhong, the Lord of Baidi City, led an army of 100,000 in rebellion. Ultimately, they were utterly annihilated by the 'Divine Relic: Heart of the Empire.' This is a historical fact, one thoroughly accepted by the people of the Empire."
"so--"
Silver Ten pulled out the giant sword stuck in the ground, raised his gray eyes, and said, "For the sake of the empire, I ask my colleagues to die."
"boom!!"
Amid the explosion, the image began to fluctuate unsteadily. Xia Feng stared with an unpleasant frown on his face. Mu Qingtong also frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
Xia Feng roughly understood the purpose of the Apocalypse Knight.
In the eyes of the Apocalypse Knight, if the incident in Baidi City were to be exposed, the impact would be too great. Apart from clearing the grievances of 100,000 soldiers, it would be of no benefit to the peace of the empire. It might even cause large-scale civil unrest. In more serious cases, the Evil Clan would take advantage of the situation and invade.
So when Yin Shi saw that Xize Xingzhe had failed to successfully deal with Baidi City, he had to take action himself and at the same time sent his clone to capture Xize Xingzhe.
After all, someone has to be held accountable for this matter, and the forces involved cannot get away with it. They must also pay a price as a punishment.
Damn, after figuring out the key points of this, Xia Feng's face became even uglier. This world is too cruel!
I really want the Witch of Destruction to destroy this group.
A strange thought flashed through Xia Feng's mind.
Soon, the image returned to normal, and Freya suddenly appeared in the picture, half-transformed into a dragon again, roaring and charging towards the Wolf-Tail Knight.
But the opponent was a Venerable after all, and Freya was completely helpless. In the end, she was blown to an endless height, passed through the barrier protection, and fell into the turbulence of time and space outside the island.
