【Chapter 609】Assist (Part 2), Fiona
"Mr. Federmond, can we talk?"
The mission of rescuing Feifei is full of huge risks. Even if Esrena and Yiluli are fearless, Carriya has to consider a series of possible consequences.
Before leaving, the Three Laws Parliament specifically explained her the top priority.
But she had no right to stop the action, and the team led by Sailun brought a glimmer of hope. At least, they had an understanding of the situation in the Elga River, and even if they could not provide assistance, it would be beneficial to let Lena and the others reconsider the action.
However, Sailen's frank words surprised everyone.
"Are you a scam?"
Hearing that the Blackstone Squad relied on only thirty soldiers, it was easy to sweep a safe area on both sides of the Elga River without any damage to the war.
Yi Luli was dumbfounded, with disbelief on her face: "Just these people? They don't even have armor, no, they don't even have leather armor, how could it be?"
Sailun's face was full of helplessness and explaining the combat effectiveness of the Black Stone Warrior to others has become his most troubled thing.
"Believe me, I don't need to lie." Sailun simply untied the rifle on his shoulder and pulled the bolt: "This is the weapon they rely on, the weapon they subverted their imagination."
Without a sharp edge or blade, it is not a staff. Yiluli looked at it curiously: "This is also called a weapon?"
"This... I can't explain it." Squad leader Harryt taught Sailun how to use rifles, but it was all theory. He was still a rookie who had never fired a gun, and he didn't know the specific principles.
But Esrena was thinking about another question. The Blackstone Legion mentioned by Sailun was on an ironclad ship, the Blackstone Corps from the Kingdom of Tia, with a total force of 300 troops stationed in the Blade Fortress.
The purpose of Sailon coming to Arabia was not to seek asylum, but to seek cooperation and jointly resist the invasion of evil.
However, time waits for no one.
Esrena looked at the sun worriedly: "Mr. Federmond, I, like everyone else, want to know the whole story of the matter. But unfortunately, we don't have much time!"
Sailun nodded: "Forgive me, can I ask if you do anything? Perhaps, we can help."
"Save people."
"Save someone?"
"Yes." Esrena did not elaborate: "We need to rescue some people, and the location is probably near the banks of the Elga River. You should understand that this is a very dangerous action, and even we are not sure."
Sailon frowned: "Near the Elga River? That's really adventurous. I've witnessed it with my own eyes that the endless monster nests on the river bank are inhabited by countless evils. But... well, wait, I need to discuss with Squad Leader Harry. This is not an easy decision."
At first, squad leader Harry was very hesitant. His mission was to escort Sailen to Arabé. But under Sailen's persuasion, he finally agreed to participate in this adventure. One of the important reasons was that they had to prove to these people that the powerful power controlled by the Blackstone Legion.
This will greatly boost confidence and increase persuasion.
Although, it's very adventurous.
But as a Blackstone warrior, Squad Leader Harrit is not a person who is afraid of death.
So, a mixed team embarked on an unknown journey together.
...
In the darkness, a light is like a bean.
A fox girl with pointed red ears was lying on the low table, holding a quill in her hand, writing intently. The candlelight illuminated her round side face, with long eyelashes and round face, like a cute doll.
"Dad, mom, I know what you are worried about. But I don't want to die in this cell-like place like this. I'm going out, yes, yes, I'm going out. I can't stand this kind of place where even the sound can't come out."
"Forgive me, I love you."
"But I heard the call of 'it', it wanted to talk to me, it wanted to tell me, it was lonely, it was scared, it needed my company."
"It's my soul bond, I can be sure."
"I feel extremely distressed inside."
"So, I'm going to accompany it."
"Even if you die together."
"Forgive me, my dear mom and dad, I'm leaving!"
"Your most adorable, sensible and obedient daughter, Fiona Xuewei."
After writing the message, Fiona took the candlelight and carefully examined it for a while, confirming that there were no typos. Finally, she added, "I'm sorry, mom and dad," and then carefully folded it on the table.
As the candlelight swayed, Fiona picked up a brown leather bag from the side of the low bed, held it on her shoulder, and turned her head to blow out the candle.
This is the underground shelter of the Xuewei family, located ten meters underground. Although they spent a lot of time to improve the environment of the shelter, its walls seeped out of water every day, which was damp and dark.
Since the breakout failed, Fiona, her parents and servants have been hiding in shelter. So far, it has been more than half a month.
There is food, fresh water, and daily necessities here, which is enough to hide for at least two months.
But despair still enveloped them.
The three exits of the shelter were covered by monster's vine nests and were completely blocked.
The weak fox man has no chance to escape.
Although parents force themselves to smile every day, telling everyone that monsters will be destroyed, that someone will come to save them, that they will see the light of day again.
But almost everyone doesn't believe it.
Including Fiona.
They clearly understood that they were just inconspicuous merchants in Arab City, not that important or indispensable.
However, they also knew that this situation could not be changed.
Therefore, in the shelter, you can often see foxes cheering each other up, with a passionate tone, but cannot conceal the despair in your eyes.
Here, there is a strange harmony.
It was like a group of dying people were performing tacit understanding of collective psychological comfort.
The young Fiona is only thirteen years old and is less than one meter tall. In the human world, her appearance is almost no different from a seven or eight-year-old child.
She has a petite and cute figure, fluffy and soft big tail, pointed ears, bright big eyes, cute and soft, and she is absolutely healing and cute.
She couldn't bear the depression like being buried in a grave.
And - its sound.
That was her soul mate. She didn't know what it looked like, but she heard its whispers and its call countless times. They sang happily together in their dreams, and the zither was harmonious, as if they were born with a pair.
However, because it is too "disturbing" and only one can understand its melody, what is heard in others' ears is just noise and harshness, which makes people feel restless.
So, it was sent to a specific place, far away from everyone.
Only Fiona enjoys it and goes with it every day.
But everything was broken because of the arrival of the monster.
Hiding in a dark refuge, perhaps most fox people can adapt to life here because they rely on refuges countless times to escape the hunting of monsters.
Fiona couldn't do it.
She hasn't been with it for many days.
Almost every night, in Fiona's dream, you can hear its lonely whisper, it begging, it is sad, it is crying.
Fiona is not afraid of death, at least she can die with her parents. But she can't let go of her partner, and she can't let go of her partner who can resonate with her at the soul level.
This is an unbearable torment for Fiona.
She decided to accompany it.
Even when facing a terrible monster.
As long as you can see it again and hear its happy singing, you will be the greatest happiness.
In the narrow underground passage, Fiona groped carefully and moved forward. She saw the dark room where her parents lived - to save candles.
"I'm sorry, mom and dad."
"Thank you for your company."
Fiona looked silently for a while, wiped the corners of her eyes, then firmly hugged her bag and penetrated into the darkness in the distance.
All six hidden ventilation ducts in the shelter are very narrow, and even petite fox children need to spend a lot of effort to pass.
Moreover, no one knows what it is outside the channel.
