Seeing that Lugo fell silent, perhaps thinking that he might be unwilling to act as a bait, Chino added: "Of course, you won't die. This evening, I went to the Sadwind City Administration Residence to survey the terrain.

A secret passage leading to the forest outside was dug underground there."

"This secret passage only exists for you. I know that you can use it to escape at the last moment - remember, don't tell anyone else about its existence."

Lugo asked blankly: "Why?"

Chino: "For most people, it is difficult to have the courage to move forward if there is a way out behind them."

When Lugo was silent, Kino continued: "Starting from 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, you will lead the people to hold on in Sadwind City for 72 hours. Three days later at 8 o'clock in the morning, no matter what the battle situation is, you can leave from the secret passage.

Evacuate and don't worry about anyone."

The corners of Lugo's mouth twitched, and he smiled extremely sadly: "So my mission is to trick everyone into dying in Sad Wind City even though they know there is a secret way to escape. After enough time, everyone will be almost dead.

, I can still survive by escaping from the secret passage alone?"

Chino: "Almost."

Lugo lowered his head, holding his hair tightly with both hands, and his voice was obviously trembling: "Sir... I have never thought that I am a good person, I am just a gangster from the streets, and my behavior has always been very villainous.

..."

"But if I do as you say... wouldn't I really become a villain..."

"It's not a villain -" said Kino, "it's a devil."

Lugo pulled his hair and remained silent, obviously caught in a fierce inner struggle.

Lugo has never hesitated to respond to any of Chino's orders.

Whatever Kino ordered, he would risk his life to complete it.

Kino has not given any instructions, but he will try his best to do what he needs to do based on the situation.

His loyalty to Kino was unreserved, and everything was done to repay the kindness he had given him.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Kino asked him to commit suicide now, he would not even ask the reason and just wipe his own throat with a knife.

But now his problem is not his alone, but more than 20,000 lives.

Many of the more than 20,000 people were slaves who had participated in the Twilight City riots. They were the first batch of resisters brought out by Lugo himself. These people walked side by side until today out of their trust in him.

However, at this moment, Kino asked him to deceive those who trusted him and let them die in lies.

This is killing...

If Lugo could go back in time, he really wanted to tell Kino - stop digging secret tunnels, don't tell me anything, just lie to me too. Anyway, I'm willing to die for you, why bother to give

I created a way to survive, only to increase my suffering...

Lugo kept rubbing his hair, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sir, I have a request... Please allow me not to run away in three days, but to stay here and fight to death with everyone... I

I don’t want to live alone..."

"Not allowed." Kino's reply was simple, "You are my best subordinate, and I will need you in the future."

"You are very important to me."

Lugo closed his eyes, his face suddenly blurred. He remained silent, and Kino didn't say anything again, waiting for his answer.

At some point, the fire in the room had burned to the end, and the last flickering flame was extinguished, leaving only ashes with residual heat.

"Okay...for you..." Lugo's trembling voice sounded. He opened his eyes and looked at Kino, his eyes were obviously sad, but full of unprecedented determination, "I will treat this devil!"

...

In the early morning, it's dawn again.

After the previous fierce battles and running around, the rebel soldiers in Sadwind City were all tired, and the entire city was sleeping, completely silent.

Kino brought Solandel, the Shangguan siblings, and Neeko together. Now Sadwind City has been surrounded by people, and they will definitely not be able to get out through normal means.

However, Shangguan Xue mastered the art of shrinking the earth with yin and yang. After being treated with Tianwai medicine, she could barely control the curse. She couldn't move too many people away, so she could still transfer four people, including herself.

Kino told these people about the beheading operation, but did not reveal anything about using the rebels as bait. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.

For this reason, Kino made up a lie, saying that he had left a secret weapon in Sadwind City, and that while he was taking people to the royal city, Lugo could lead the rebels to hold on for a few days...

As for the truth of everything, I'm afraid only the gods and themselves know.

After Shangguan Xue uses the Earth-shrinking Technique to lead Solandel and others away, she will first find a safe and secluded place to hide temporarily, waiting for news of the beheading operation.

If Kino succeeds in beheading Andrei, everything will be rewritten, and Solandelle will change her fate against the will of heaven and be crowned king.

If it fails... these people may be forced into exile.

At the time of separation, perhaps the atmosphere was too solemn, and everyone had nothing to say. They just stared at each other, conveying their inner sustenance and strength with their eyes.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Lorna hugged Solandel tightly and never let go, but at this time she was very clear about the importance and did not stick to the present, but was ready to fight the biggest battle in her life for Solandel.

Finally, Lorna let go of her hand and watched Solandel and others disappear into the Shukuchi magic circle.

"Time is precious, it's time for us to set off." After Chino finished speaking, silent metal floated around him.

Sad Wind City is now completely surrounded. Not only is the land completely blocked, but the airspace is also patrolled by dragon knights and winged beast cavalry at all times. If you fly out like this, people will definitely notice it.

There is only one way to leave Sad Wind City without leaving any traces, and that is to use Silent Metal, a material with an infinitely smooth surface that can reflect all scenes, coupled with its ability to affect the gravity field and swallow sound, to combine Chino and Fei.

Qi, Lorna and Feiye were wrapped inside and left in the dark.

As long as you don't directly hit the enemy patrolling in the air, the darkness of the night and the annihilated sounds will become the best camouflage.

It is before dawn, and it is also the darkest time of the day. Kino controls the silent metal to open an arc, wrapping Fitch, Lorna and Feiye in the distance.

At this moment, the silent flow stopped, and Kino's voice came faintly: "Lugo..."

Lugo looked at Kino's back, waiting for his next words.

Silence was now a certain distance away from the two of them, and the effect of annihilating sound did not fully take effect. It only made Kino's voice muffled, but his words could still be distinguished.

"I'll wait for you at the top of Doguland."

After Kino finished speaking, he strode into the silent metal. The three people and one dragon were completely enveloped, lifted into the sky and disappeared into the vast night.
