Chapter 608 - 297: I Came to Kill You (Part 1)

In such a scenario, not even Liang Xiaonuo and her group of four would dare claim they’d come out unscathed! These little brats are really terrifyingly naive and simple-minded; are they really fearless, or just incredibly foolish?

"Right now! Leave with me immediately! As for the others, I’ll go look for them..." Liang Xiaonuo took two steps closer and suddenly noticed something was wrong with these two Little Bears... Their faces, covered in blood, seemed stained with flesh, and the despair in their eyes was palpable. Liang Xiaonuo pressed her lips together, a foreboding sensation rising in her heart, "Where are the others?"

Despite all she said, those two little punks seemed not to have heard, wrapped up in their own fear, trembling uncontrollably. Her heart sank slightly, her gaze locking onto a broken finger sticking to one’s clothes...

The ring on that finger was so familiar... It was something one of the brats loved, supposedly a gift from his mother on her deathbed. Although those children were a handful, impolite to elders and dismissive of superiors, in the end, they were just disobedient brats, not really committing any heinous acts...

Before Liang Xiaonuo could contact her teammates, Theo Mossley’s voice, cool and emotionless, came through her earpiece. His words confirmed Liang Xiaonuo’s fears, and her heart sank to the bottom, "The others... a while ago... Xiaonuo, there’s danger here, take these two brats back first!"

"I know!" Liang Xiaonuo forced back her rising sorrow, stepping forward to carry the two kids on her shoulders.

But before she could touch their arms, they fell back in horror as if they’d seen a ghost, scrambling away with hands and feet, muttering indistinctly about something related to the person who’d hurt them.

However, their speech was too unclear, and Liang Xiaonuo couldn’t make it out, finally deciding to drop it, "Forget it, I’ll forcibly take them back and sort it out later! The whereabouts of the others... should also be reported to the superiors... these kids, they’ve really gone too far..."

Considering the deaths of the other kids, Liang Xiaonuo couldn’t bear to scold these two surviving Little Bears too harshly. But things always turn out unexpectedly. Just as she knocked the two unconscious and carried them on her shoulders, she heard a gentle and refreshing voice from beyond the rubble.

"Are you reinforcements from Augustus?" Liang Xiaonuo instinctively assumed a defensive stance, but upon seeing the newcomer, she froze completely. The individual was clad in the standard military uniform of the Xilena Expedition Army, the insignia on the shoulder marking his identity.

The leader from the Xilena side was a Lieutenant General, known throughout the universe. Moreover, a Lieutenant General’s rank is not low, and they’d seen photos of high-rank military officers during their schooling... The person before her was extremely handsome, his strong features held an air of androgynous beauty, and his gentle demeanor made it hard to harbor dislike or suspicion...

A Lieutenant General of Xilena... the only potential candidate to appear here was the Fifth Expeditionary Army’s leader—Yun Cuixi! Moreover, the appearance of this person before her was unchanged from the Yun Cuixi she had seen years ago... If there was any difference, it was that this real person was slightly more slender than in the photos, with more profound eyes and paler skin...

"Who are you?" Even though Liang Xiaonuo had already guessed his identity, her wariness grew instead. As a Lieutenant General, Yun Cuixi should either be at the warship’s command center or on the front line. The likelihood that this person was an impostor was high.

Of course, if he truly was Yun Cuixi, things would likely become even more complicated. Being a Lieutenant General, and the highest-ranking leader of the Fifth Expeditionary Army, his current presence neither at the command center nor the frontline, but here... As she considered this, a sense of doom rose in Liang Xiaonuo’s heart, especially when she saw the bloodthirsty smile on his face. Her heart plummeted to the depths.

"Did you follow the kids here?" Yun Cuixi asked with a smile, removing his cap and flicking off the dust with his fingers, his tone condescending and chilling, "How does Augustus train people, allowing little brats to run rampant... Don’t they know a war is going on here, where people could die at any moment?"

Liang Xiaonuo slightly bent her knees, muscles taut, ready to flee at any moment. The man before her was dangerous, and his identity... she pressed her lips tightly, "These kids are disobedient, overly assertive, and love to run around, so... I came to bring them back... They’ll be taught properly to avoid causing trouble..."

"Knowing one’s mistakes and correcting them is commendable, haha... But life, once lost, does not offer a second chance. And some people, once they make a mistake, naturally... don’t get a second chance either..." Yun Cuixi raised his hand before Liang Xiaonuo, mimicking a shooting gesture by her ear, "With a bang, their heads burst open, and they’re dead..."

Liang Xiaonuo’s face turned grim, abruptly asking a question she instantly regretted, "Did Lieutenant General Yun see the other kids before? Were they attacked and killed by those Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance scoundrels..."

"Though I would like to tell you so, unfortunately, the truth is quite the opposite..." Yun Cuixi’s hand suddenly shifted, pointing straight at Liang Xiaonuo’s forehead, flashing a wicked smile, "I might as well tell you, because they were... killed by my own hands!"

The ominous feelings in her heart were confirmed, and Liang Xiaonuo’s breath turned uneven as she asked, "Why would you do this! As fellow Alliance warriors, who allowed you to massacre allies arbitrarily!"

"Xiaonuo, danger! There’s something wrong with this person!" Cui Hu and the others had not landed; using their vantage point, they inadvertently discovered a terrifying scene... They had a feeling they had stumbled into big trouble! (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on qidian.com.
