Chapter 1569 The Pure End
"Thor, thank you very much. Without you, our actions today would be 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 daze, but he no longer cared about this kind of thing.
"...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 cries on the scene. However, her own 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!"
Dali, a rebel warrior from the Lothar people, did not cry. He has been following Taina Moen for some time, and they are familiar with each other. In his image, the young leader was actually a melancholy and quiet girl. Even when she smiled, she always had a sense of melancholy and brokenness. But now, as her life is coming to an end, she is showing 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 Psychic didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
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. My life was arranged by others. They were my parents in the past, 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 my future children. I thought I was fighting for the ideal of justice, but in fact I was trying to prove myself, that I was an independent person with free thoughts, and not just a puppet pretending to be a human being.”
No one interrupted her.
Lanna Guerrilla 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'm committing my life here, not just for you, but also for me. I just want to tell her that she doesn't count everything. I'm 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 one may be the biggest and most powerful demon king that everyone needs to defeat.
"I'm sorry, and thank you all for tolerating my willfulness. You people are actually much more pure 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. We need to change the world and think about the future seriously. So, go to Yaxiu and give him all the treasures he lent me. Also, I have to tell him that I am sorry for him. All previous agreements are void. I left him something in the safe in Canchuan City. 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 on where to meet.
It is said that Mr. Ash Stern successfully found a semi-abandoned space city in the border system and temporarily settled everyone down. This is also everyone's retreat.
Da Li's eyes became increasingly sad. He really couldn't imagine how Mr. Ash, who was running the escape route for everyone, would react when he heard the bad news.
"Dali, everyone here is entrusted to you."
The young Lothar warrior no longer pretended to delay, 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. It's hard to imagine a person who is about to die but whose eyes are still full of such power.
"I will find a way." Thor Lanna 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 man 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, it is a blessing that the ingredients are complicated.
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... well , No need, just send it directly to the headquarters of 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 began to drift away.
On December 12, 833, common calendar year, 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 boat stayed with Taina until she completely left, then they began to gather their emotions and take action. In accordance with Taina's instructions during her lifetime, they took away the zero element that was separated out after her death and kept it as a public resource for the rebels. Then, he 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 pushed into the sea in small wooden boats and lit with torches. The boat will carry the torch and ashes and naturally sail to the depths of the Sea of Fallen Stars. ,
Then, under the guidance of the former guerrilla Silana, they drove a small boat out of the Falling Star Sea and went to the Lonan 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. Things were decided when Mr. Mo was still here. It's just that some radical students believe that mere street movements will definitely not be able to save the alliance, and hope to join the resistance organization.
Of course, the rebel soldiers welcome this issue. They all felt that having top academics from the Frugal Society join would formalize the organization. In this way, the Burning Legion will become more and more like an ideal and systematic organization, rather than a peasant uprising.
Of course, while you are on the road, you cannot cut off contact with the outside world. Because of 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, and she left behind a large commercial terminal on the ship that had been passed down several times. It was 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 twenty news channels, and only two mentioned the protest rally on Gem Coast, 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 Parrotin was covered in great detail. After all, that person was the leader of the opposition alliance, a very popular political star, and he fell in front of so many people, so it was impossible to ignore it lightly.
As a result, the news is filled with various commemorative programs. Mrs. Parlotin, 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 annoyed when they heard it, so they adjusted the program to the more solemn World News Channel. This channel is a friendly channel of Xinghai United, which is in power, 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 submitted his resignation to Congress, and it was quickly accepted.
Although the old marshal was not a professional politician and was always missing a leg in this area, he was not a fool after all. At this level, even if you think about it on your knees, you know that the only way to maintain your decency is to know your own tastes.
He was very sensible and kept 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 without any constraints and can govern with confidence.
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 is to entertain President Nishita of the Blue Star Community who is coming 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 has entered its most brutal and intense stage.
"The president of the earth is still coming?"
"I know, I know, that old madman 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 were talking a lot. They really do not want to get involved in the war between the empire and the community. However, due to the simple values and correct outlook of the rebels and revolutionaries, they naturally have no good impression of the empire. Of course, they really cannot say that "the life and death of the people on earth has nothing to do with us." What does it matter?"
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?
Anyway, at least at this time, the soldiers of the Burning Legion still felt quite grateful to the Grand Commander Keith Nishita who was on his way.
